I'd be willing to spend a little money, just to feed the dog and buy myself a quiet life.

These bastards are really pushing their luck. They come back every ten days or so, and it's not just one or two families. We have to pay at least a thousand yuan in protection money every month, which is a real headache.

"Has it always been like this?"

Lin Jingyu's expression darkened slightly. "Or has this only been happening recently?"

"In recent days."

Lu Qingyang looked helpless. "At the beginning, we just picked up the goods and transported them to other places to sell."

Since we bought the land and built the factory last year, some people have come to demand protection money.

They're all small-scale operations, a few dozen yuan a month is enough.

Now that the factory is built and our new machines have been delivered, those people are starting to go too far.

Although we reported the case to the police, the officers came, arrested a few scoundrels, detained them for a few days, and then released them.

It's fair to say it has little impact on those people.

"It's really not easy to make money quietly."

Lin Jingyu narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "It seems that if we don't get rid of these people, we might not be able to keep our factory running."

"Little sister, to solve this problem, we must deal with both the legitimate and criminal worlds."

Lu Qingyang was a worldly person and naturally knew how to handle the situation. "I originally wanted to ask Young Master Wen for help, but now it seems that you are enough, little sister."

"I originally planned to go to Xiangdu after seeing you, but now it seems I need to deal with this problem first."

Lin Jingyu sighed and asked again, "Brother Le Chun is here too?"

He also plans to develop his career here.

Lu Qingyang explained, "I bought a piece of land last month and now I've handed it over to his people to help build the factory. They should be coming back a little later."

"It's good that he came here."

Lin Jingyu couldn't help but sigh that this guy was indeed cut out for business. "Since you two are both here, why don't you help each other out?"

We won't suppress the local bullies, but we also won't let them overturn you two outlaws.

I suspect the thugs who are causing you trouble are using tactics employed by local bullies.

If they force you out, everything will fall into their hands, which is even better than getting something for free.

"That should be it."

Lu Qingyang nodded in agreement and looked at the person in front of him, "Little sister, how do you plan to solve this?"

"Crush the black forces and facilitate the white forces; take a two-pronged approach."

Lin Jingyu responded with a smile, "I don't believe Brother Lu doesn't know this method."
