“You…” Sun Yixing pointed at Shen Qiqi, his lips trembling, but he couldn’t say a word.

Shen Qiqi approached him step by step, with a dangerous arc on the corner of her mouth, "What? You're out of words?"

Lu Qing stood beside Shen Qiqi, his big hands tightly wrapped around her small hands, like a warm current flowing into her heart.

The tenderness in his eyes can drown people, silently conveying the signal of "Don't be afraid, I am here."

Shen Qiqi held his hand back, and the warmth of his palm came from her fingertips, which made her heart warm and she felt extremely safe. She felt that she was not fighting alone.

"Hey, what's going on? What are you all doing here?" A sharp voice cut through the air, and Qian Dipi swaggered over. His fat body was like a moving mountain of meat, blocking the stall. He squinted his eyes, exuding the energy of a gangster.

As soon as he appeared, the customers around him stepped back, fearing that they would be affected by him.

"Get the hell out of here! Can't you see we're collecting protection money here? If you don't leave, I'll smash your stall!" Qian the gangster waved his strong arms, spitting everywhere, like an angry wild boar, driving away the customers around him arrogantly.

Shen Qiqi looked at his arrogant look and immediately became angry.

She shook off Lu Qing's hand, stood at the front, and looked directly at Qian Dipi without fear. "Who do you think you are? This market is owned by your family. Why are you chasing people away? Who gave you the courage to act so wildly here?"

"Hey? The little girl is quite hot!" Qian Dipi looked Shen Qiqi up and down, his eyes full of contempt and ill intentions.

"I'm the rule! Here, whatever I say goes! Get out of here and stop getting in my way!"

Shen Qiqi sneered, her voice clear and powerful, like a sharp knife, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! I have paid the management fee for this stall, what qualifications do you have to chase me away? And who do you think you are? A local tyrant? This is a new society now, who would still pamper a local tyrant like you!"

She stood in front of Qian Dipi without flinching, her aura fully open, as if she had her own background music, instantly suppressing Qian Dipi's momentum.

The customers around were shocked by Shen Qiqi's courage and stopped in their tracks, wanting to see what would happen next.

The fat on Qian Dipi's face trembled. Obviously, he didn't expect Shen Qiqi to be so difficult.

Seeing this, Sun Tongxing also quickly came over and pointed at Shen Qiqi's nose and scolded: "Master Qian, this woman is ungrateful and a thorn in the side! You have to teach her a lesson!"

Shen Qiqi's eyes were like torches, sweeping across Sun Tongxing's gloating face, and she smiled coldly.

"Haha," she said meaningfully, "Some people are probably more anxious than this ruffian..." Qian Dipi was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he was furious.

"Little girl, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to pay me back! If you don't pay the protection fee today, don't even think about setting up a stall here!" He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the blue dragon tattoo on his arm, and glared at Shen Qiqi fiercely.

At this moment, an old but loud voice rang out: "Qian Laosan, you are bullying people here again! Don't you see where you are? How can you act so wildly?" An old man with gray hair and vigorous spirit walked out of the crowd. It was Uncle Chen.

He leaned on a cane and walked step by step to Shen Qiqi, like a tall pine tree, shielding her from the wind and rain.

"Uncle Chen!" Shen Qiqi felt more at ease when she saw Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen glared at Qian the ruffian and said righteously, "Qian Lao San, I'm telling you, this market belongs to everyone, not just you! If you dare to do anything wrong here again, I'll report you!"

Qian the gangster was intimidated by Uncle Chen's aura, and his arrogance was immediately reduced by half.

He shouted fiercely but weakly, "Mind your own business, you old fool! Be careful or I'll take care of you too!"

"You dare!" Uncle Chen looked him in the eye without fear. "I'm an old man, what's there to be afraid of? If you dare to touch me, I'll sue you!"

Sun Tongxing fanned the flames: "Master Qian, stop wasting time talking to this old man! Just do it!"

Qian Dipi was about to explode when a voice suddenly rang out: "Ahem, what are you all doing here?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in uniform walking over. It was the market manager, Manager Li.

He had a serious expression on his face and glanced sharply at everyone.

Manager Li walked up to the ruffian Qian and said in a deep voice, "Qian Lao San, are you causing trouble again? Don't you want to set up your stall here anymore?"

When Qian Dipi saw Manager Li, he immediately became timid and wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

He said with a smile: "Brother Li, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! I was just joking with this little girl."

Administrator Li snorted coldly and ignored him. Instead, he turned to Shen Qiqi and said, "Comrade Shen Qiqi, the market management office has recently issued some new regulations that may affect your stall..."
