Chapter 27: Trying to extort money?

"You think you can extort money from me? You've really picked the wrong person!"

Zhou Shufen couldn't help but laugh out loud, her tone dismissive, completely unmoved by his act.

Zhou Liya was even angrier than Zhou Shufen, and immediately stepped forward to block her way.

"Nonsense! Your place is so dilapidated. A large chunk of the wall had already fallen off when we came in. How dare you blame it on us?"

"Yeah, that's not how you bully someone!"

Qin Guifang retorted without backing down.

Although they were both girls, she was just as imposing as the other.

"If you're thinking of getting physical, you've really chosen the wrong person!"

Zhou Shufen said with a cold smile, her tone full of threat.

"Get out of the way, we're leaving!"

This is in a bustling street, and Zhou Shufen can easily attract a large crowd with just a shout.

The surrounding area is lined with shops, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians.

Zhou Shufen was standing in the middle of the street, attracting many people to stop and watch, all eager to hear what was going on.

After weighing the options, the boss angrily stepped aside.

His face looked extremely pale.

However, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding crowd, he ultimately couldn't continue the argument.

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Zhou Shufen, and muttered a curse under his breath.

In the end, they could only angrily step aside and make way for each other.

Zhou Shufen left with Zhou Liya and Qin Guifang.

The two only realized what had happened when they reached the door, and felt a little scared.

That scene was truly breathtaking; we almost fell into their trap.

They looked at each other, their faces still showing signs of lingering fear.

They slowed their pace slightly, afraid that the boss might suddenly catch up.

"That scene just now was really scary. That boss was obviously trying to extort money from us."

As Zhou Liya spoke, she patted her chest.

She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with joy.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Shufen comforted the two of them.

She patted Zhou Liya on the shoulder and then looked at Qin Guifang.

"It's alright now."

After saying that, she led them to the next street.

The streets were a little quieter than before, but much cleaner and tidier.

They finally found a shop that looked reliable.

A brightly lit sign hangs at the entrance, and the staff inside are very welcoming.

She stayed in the new shop to organize things, letting Zhou Liya and Qin Guifang go back first.

Because one of them has to go to work, while the other has to take care of the family.

Zhou Liya nodded in agreement and waved to Zhou Shufen.

Qin Guifang smiled and said, "Be careful tonight."

The two then left together.

Time flies.

Zhou Shufen devoted herself to her work, communicating with the shop owner about details while organizing the items on the shelves.

She was exceptionally efficient at her work and quickly got things done in an orderly manner.

By the time Zhou Shufen finished her work and was ready to leave, it was already completely dark outside.

Night had completely fallen, and the crowds on the streets had thinned out somewhat.

One by one, the lights in the distance came on.

Zhou Shufen straightened her coat.

I pushed open the door and took a deep breath of the evening breeze.

She walked quickly and soon found herself on the path back to the village.

The road wasn't long, but it was a necessary route, connecting the town's streets on one side and leading to the rural fields on the other.

There were almost no streetlights on the road, and the faint moonlight was the only way to see the road ahead.

A gentle evening breeze stirred, carrying a few fallen leaves that drifted lightly through the air.

Unexpectedly, a figure was hiding on her way home.

The man hid silently in the shadows by the roadside, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Looking through the gaps in the farmland on both sides of the road.

That person really was that annoying boss.

His figure looked particularly sleazy in the darkness.

His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared intently at Zhou Shufen.

"You woman, just wait till I get my hands on you today!"

After muttering to himself, he suddenly rushed out from the shadows and headed straight for Zhou Shufen.

Zhou Shufen was startled and had just turned around when she was pounced on.

By the time Zhou Shufen reacted, she had already been tackled to the ground.

Caught off guard, she was pinned down. She tried to get up by bracing herself with her arms, but her boss held her firmly down.

She immediately tried to get up and resist.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and they were simply unable to break free.

The boss was tall and strong, with fierce movements, and much stronger than her.

She struggled violently, repeatedly shouting, "Let me go! You beast!"

"You slut, how dare you disrespect me? You've fallen into my hands today, let's see if you're still so arrogant!"

The boss grinned, his eyes gleaming with lust.

"You're not bad looking, um... how about you take me as your wife?"

As he spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and his hands began to move restlessly.

Zhou Shufen felt a chill in her heart, and only one thought remained in her mind.

She will never give in!

Zhou Shufen, who had just escaped the unpleasant situation with Zhou Dajun.

I've been feeling very energetic lately, both to improve my business and to get back on track.

She began to pay attention to her appearance, not only eating on time every day and going to bed early and getting up early, but also making significant changes to her clothing and style.

Compared to her past self, who was disheveled and always looking gloomy, she is now a completely different person.

"It's over..."

Zhou Shufen stood on the street, her face turning pale. Her stomach felt like it had been twisted and churned, and she almost vomited up everything she had eaten for lunch.

But she gritted her teeth and endured the discomfort, her eyes showing no sign of backing down, but rather filled with stubbornness.

"If you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll call the police and have you arrested! Don't think I won't."

"Hey, you're threatening me!"

Upon hearing this, the boss's face darkened instantly; he was furious, feeling that his authority had been challenged.

Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped Zhou Shufen hard across the face.

Just as he was preparing to take further action.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from afar: "Hey! What are you doing? Stop it right now!"

The boss, who was in high spirits, was startled by the sudden shout and trembled.

He was already feeling guilty, and when he heard someone was coming, he immediately panicked.

He quickly let go of Zhou Shufen's hand and turned to look around.

I could vaguely see a blurry figure striding over from not far away.

The man was tall and strong, with a steady gait.

As he got closer, the boss immediately realized that this was not someone he could handle.

He quickly weighed the options in his mind and decided that staying any longer would only lead to greater losses.

In the end, he decisively gave up his plan to continue harassing Zhou Shufen, turned around, and fled in panic.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Shufen quickly got up from the ground.

Just then, the man who had intervened arrived right in front of her.

Their eyes met.

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He was wearing an ordinary white short-sleeved shirt, and his arm muscles were firm and toned, clearly indicating that he exercised regularly.

"Thank you so much. If you hadn't come in time, I really don't know what would have happened."

Zhou Shufen tidied up her somewhat disheveled clothes.

"I'm glad you're alright."

The man's tone was very calm.
