Chapter 40

Chu Yueqing did not answer, and hung the peach wood sword on the glass cabinet. Passers-by were attracted by the peach wood sword at first sight, and thus saw the four words "Chu Ji Tang Shui" written in cinnabar.

It was as effective as a signboard.

She was very satisfied, but her satisfaction was interrupted by the annoying voice again.

"The old rules, the protection fee is 1,000 yuan a month. If you pay it honestly, the same thing will not happen again."

The gangster who robbed the money last time was called Shanmao, and he looked proud. He thought that with the lesson from the last time, Chu Yueqing would definitely take the initiative to pay the money obediently.

"Did you see that? She was so scared by me that she dared not speak."

Her companions also praised: "Don't you see who is here? Cat and dog are so impressive, and Mei Ding was so scared that her face turned pale."

Chu Yueqing looked at the equally pale skin on her arm in silence.

"Brother Cat, take this protection fee and go to karaoke tonight."

Several people did not join the club, so of course the protection fee went into their own pockets.

Seeing that Chu Yueqing was still silent, Shanmao thought she was completely scared. After a careful look, he found that she seemed to be much prettier than last time. But she seemed to be even more timid than last time. Last time she was afraid and screamed, but this time she was just scared silly.

He urged proudly: "Hurry up and pay the protection fee. Don't worry, as long as you pay the money obediently, I guarantee that nothing will happen like last time."

"Protection fee?" The girl who had been silent for a long time asked back, looking at Shanmao's expectant eyes, and then smiled faintly.

"Sorry, no."

Shanmao's expectations were dashed, and seeing Chu Yueqing being so stubborn again, his anger was rising. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to overturn the sugar water stall, "Okay! Since there is no, don't expect to continue to hang around in Temple Street next time!"

Just when Shanmao wanted to overturn the stall, his hand just touched the platform, and Chu Yueqing put a fixed talisman on it. He wanted to move but seemed unable to move. He looked at Chu Yueqing with horror. Lin Jiahua picked up a bench and stood behind, so he could be considered a weapon in the fight.

The companions seemed to have not noticed anything unusual. Seeing that Shanmao did not say anything, they urged: "Brother Cat, lift it up! Show them some strength!"

Shanmao was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat. He blinked at his companions for help.

Not only did his companions not see the look clearly, but they also asked strangely: "Brother Cat, is your eye cramp?"

Shanmao was so angry that he stopped blinking.

Several patrolling green-skinned uniformed police appeared at the end of the street. Soon, a uniformed police discovered the situation of the sugar water stall, and quickly pulled out a baton from his belt and pointed it at Shanmao and his men, questioning them loudly.

"What do you want to do!"

Chu Yueqing took the talisman away.

The mountain cat felt that he had regained strength, and the fingers holding the edge of the counter were gradually able to move. When he saw that the situation was not right, he ran away, not forgetting to turn back and warn fiercely: "Tangshui sister, you are great! Be careful in the next few days!"

His companions saw the uniformed police coming and ran after him.

The other uniformed police thought something serious had happened, and hurriedly chased after him, leaving only one uniformed police to finish the job.

The uniformed police worriedly asked Chu Yueqing, "Are you okay?"

After all, Chu Yueqing was a girl, and the young and dangerous guy just now was fierce and evil, and he was worried that Chu Yueqing was threatened.

"Nothing happened." Chu Yueqing looked at the alleys at the end of the street, and many of the stall owners were shaking their heads and sighing, obviously they had already paid the protection fee.

She found the stall owner who was nearby and asked, "Auntie, we have already paid the stall fee to the government, why do we have to pay protection fees? There are also many uniformed police patrolling Temple Street, do we still need to be afraid of them?"

Auntie had just paid a thousand yuan and was heartbroken. Seeing that Chu Yueqing didn't understand anything and almost had a conflict with the gangsters, she said, "It is said that we are not afraid of gentlemen, but only villains. Even if someone pays the stall fee, what can it matter?" "

The gangsters all use dirty tricks. If you don't pay the stall fee, they will stand in front of your stall and drive away customers. The uniformed police can't do anything about them."

The uniformed police was a young boy, and his face turned red when he heard what he said. They eat at Hong Kong Royal Restaurant, and they have an obligation to protect the safety and interests of taxpaying citizens.

What Auntie said is indeed true.

If the gangsters did not commit any crime, but just drove away the customers of the stall, it is a personal grudge and the police have no way to intervene.

It also shows that the uniformed police are incompetent.

After Auntie finished speaking, she advised: "Just now, Shanmao finally remembered you. Sister, you must be careful and watch out for his dirty tricks!"

"He will definitely not." Tong Mao explained with a red face, "When I patrol, I can ask the master to come to Temple Street more often."

"Tsk." Auntie turned and left, and I could still hear her talking from a distance.

"I knew bragging was useless."

Tong Mao lowered his head even more. The gazes of the stall owners made his face burn. He felt so embarrassed that he wanted to turn over the floor tiles and hide.

"Look at it calmly. It's not your fault." Seeing that Tong Mao was young, Chu Yueqing comforted him, "I believe that as long as you work hard, the young and dangerous people in the future will not dare to be so arrogant."

Tong Mao nodded.

"You should have just become an adult not long ago, right? Can you become a policeman?" Chu Yueqing was curious. She didn't understand the application requirements for the Hong Kong police. Tong Mao's appearance also showed that he was not young.

"Yes. You can apply to the police station after you finish Form 3." Tong Mao looked serious.

Form 3?

It's just the third year of junior high school.

Chu Yueqing didn't expect the threshold to be so low.

She was slightly surprised. Tong Mao was about to leave after making sure the dessert stand was fine. Suddenly, he saw a sign on the dessert stand that said fortune-telling and asked again.

"You can also tell fortunes?"

Chu Yueqing acquiesced.

"I sell desserts and I can tell fortunes." Tong Mao remembered that when he was at the police station yesterday, his master received a call from a pretty vegetable seller. She

said her daughter was missing and she had asked a fortune-teller to tell her fortune. The fortune-teller actually gave the direction and asked the police to call.

After receiving the call, the master went according to the direction. At first, he thought the fortune-teller was being mysterious. As a result, he ran into the serious crime team when he arrived at the scene. There were also the heads of two dead victims at the scene.

If it wasn't for the fortune-teller, the missing girl would be the next victim to be skinned.

The uniformed police officers who were looking for the person were all impressed by the fact that there are so many strange things in the world. They asked the pretty girl who sells vegetables and found out that the fortune teller is the one who sells sweet soup and tells fortunes.

Tong Mao was shocked.

There is only one person who sells sweet soup and tells fortunes in the whole of Hong Kong.

Tong Mao looked at Chu Yuexi again. The girl had a pair of lychee eyes and smiled at him in a good-tempered manner. The other stall owners were complaining about the uniformed police, but she could understand them. She

was very capable, but she was not arrogant.

He couldn't help but respect her: "Don't worry, we will definitely come to Temple Street frequently."

"Okay, the safety of the stall owners is in your hands." Chu Yuexi waved to Tong Mao. Tong Mao looked back from time to time and followed his colleagues who returned and left.

Chu Yuexi looked at the empty stall and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Jiahua put the stool back next to the small wooden table. He came early in the morning to check the dessert cart, and didn't see Chu Yuexi, so he helped to pull out the small wooden table and put it in place in advance.

"Don't look at it, the customers were all driven away by the mountain cat gang."

"Okay." Chu Yuexing sat down on the stool, holding her chin with her hand and looking at the tourists rushing on the street, "If there is no business today, just take a break."

Lin Jiahua opened the oven, put on heat-insulating gloves, took out four milk tarts and put them on the tray, brought it over to the table, and took off the gloves.

"If there is no business, try my milk tarts. The milk is very good this time. I guarantee that you will want a second one after eating one."

Chu Yuexing also stood up and filled two bowls of sugar water, and the two sat together. She took a bite of the milk tarts: "Have you been home recently?"

"I have moved out." Lin Jiahua smiled, "I haven't taken care of family affairs for a long time. My adoptive parents treat me like air and only talk to me when they pay me."

The adoptive mother took him away by force after the child died. After knowing the truth, he was not without hatred. Although he wanted to find his biological parents, Qingqing said there was no rush. It proved that it was not the right time

yet. He used to support the family.

Now he can support himself, which is not bad.

"Thank you very much for helping me to delay for a few days, otherwise the loan sharks would come to trouble me every day these days."

Speaking of loan sharks, Chu Yueqing thought of the appointment she made with Feiyu at the farmers' market to tell Qiu's fortune today. She looked in the direction of the street.

Just happened to see Feiyu and his group coming over.

So, she quickly put away the sugar water and handed it to Lin Jiahua, "Please help me clean up the things."

"No problem." Lin Jiahua quickly cleaned up the things and left.

After the things were taken away, more than a dozen people gathered in a small sugar water stall.

The customers who originally wanted to buy sweet soup also hurriedly avoided it and turned to other stalls.

The leading man wore a jacket with a tight black T-shirt inside. There were blue dragon and white tiger tattoos on his left and right arms respectively. He had a short haircut and wore sunglasses. After arriving at the stall, he took off his sunglasses, and a scar that ran through his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose was clearly revealed, full of viciousness.

Qiu Hao gestured to the back, and Feiyu understood. He led a group of younger brothers to leave the sweet soup stall, lined up in a row, and guarded the sweet soup stall.

Such a big battle still didn't scare the girl. The girl sat on the chair calmly and stretched out her hand to indicate that she could sit opposite.

"Listen, did you calculate that I was in a big disaster?"

Qiu Hao sat down and threw his sunglasses on the table, crossing his legs.

"It's not calculated, it's seen." Chu Yueqing pointed at the fortune-telling stall, "If you are interested, I can tell you a fortune, it will be more detailed."

"But." She added, gradually speaking out her plan, "There are conditions."

Qiu Hao looked at the milk floss stall with eyes full of anger. Feiyu had already revealed the matter of Lin Jiahua when he informed him of the disaster.

He sneered: "Sister, the Lin family borrowed not a little, but hundreds of thousands. There are thousands of brothers in the Fourteenth Gang waiting to be supported. Do you want to starve?"

Chu Yueqing raised her eyebrows: "As the saying goes, it is natural to pay back debts. It's not Lin Jiahua who lent you money, it's the Lin family. Of course you can't ask him."

She didn't want to forgive the debt for the Lin family. At present, the only one
