Chapter 516: Back Off
When the people who wanted to demolish the shop heard her say there would be compensation, they slowed down their actions.
Zhao Si also came to his senses and said in a panic, "Yes, brothers, we have something to discuss, but please don't destroy my shop."
Just as Hu Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Chenghe said coldly, "I didn't come here today for your little money. Keep smashing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the martial arts disciples picked up hammers and other objects and rushed towards the shop to smash them. Their movements seemed very familiar, and it was obvious that they had smashed many shops before.
The Mu Xin Comics Shop was made of wood; how could it possibly withstand the blow of such a massive hammer? With one blow, it would likely be shattered to pieces.
They moved extremely quickly, using their shoulders to shove Hu Xin'er away. She couldn't dodge in time and stepped on the rotten vegetable leaves on the ground that had not been swept away in time.
The huge impact knocked her body crooked, and she couldn't maintain her balance and fell to the side.
The world was spinning, and Hu Xiner's face suddenly turned into horror. Oh no, her child!
At the last moment before falling, she only had time to protect her stomach with her hands.
Time seemed to slow down in an instant. Zhou Chenghe did not expect that his brother's family would act so recklessly. A look of disbelief flashed across his face.
Everyone was still running around, and occasionally a few of them turned back to look. Their expressions of shock or panic seemed to be frozen in mid-air, but Hu Xiner had no time to pay attention to them.
This incident happened so quickly that everyone was caught off guard. Even Master Shen ran over quickly, but he was not a martial artist, so how could he save Hu Xiner in time?
At this moment, Hu Xiner only regretted that she did not bring her husband out.
She originally thought that she just needed to open a shop and hire enough servants.
But what no one expected was that there would be Zhou Cheng and this variable!
At this time, all the servants hid in the shop and dared not say a word. Some even followed the scattered crowd and fled without even asking for their wages.
Her fall seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed from the corner of the eaves, and with her clothes moving lightly, she fell on someone.
She raised her head blankly, looking at the man in shock: "Yin...Yin Li?"
Yin Li lay on the ground, frowning and complaining: "You are too heavy!"
Hu Xin'er stared at him blankly: "You, why are you here? Didn't you leave at the bottom of the cliff?"
Yin Li frowned, pretending not to want to pay attention to her, and got up on her own: "What's it to you, Madam Lu?"
The three words "Mrs. Lu" reminded Hu Xiner of the most important thing at the moment. She hurriedly looked at her belly, and after finding that the baby was safe and she did not feel any pain, she quickly got up.
When Hu Xiner didn't look at her, a hint of tenderness flashed across Yin Li's eyes, but after Hu Xiner looked up, he returned to his fierce look.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and fanned himself. "You ignorant little girl! You saw them coming at you, and you tried to stop them. Is that your money? Is that your shop?"
Hu Xin'er listened obediently and said, "Yin Li, can you help me stop that guy named Zhou?"
Yin Li rolled his eyes in annoyance: "I just happened to be passing by, not here to do hard labor for you!"
After saying that, he tiptoed away.
But at the same time, those martial arts school disciples screamed in unison and fell to their knees on the ground.
It turned out that several stones hit the acupuncture points on their legs.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master Shen finally walked to the front of the shop. He winked at the servants, and they immediately tied up the martial arts disciples.
He looked at Zhou Chenghe again, his eyes tinged with contempt. "I wonder what wrong did this store do to make you take such ruthless action?"
Zhou Chenghe said coldly: “These things seem to have nothing to do with Master Shen, right?”
For the sake of his father's official reputation, Master Shen did not want to expose his alliance with the comic shop. Otherwise, when the people heard that the prefect's son was actually involved in business affairs, they would inevitably think that the prefect was also a money-loving person.
So, he also pretended to be indifferent: "It's really nothing, it's just that I found it quite shameful to see you treat a pregnant woman like that!"
When the people saw what had happened, they even slowed down their pace.
This time, Zhou Chenghe really went too far.
However, even though so many people were looking at him with disapproval at the same time, Zhou Chenghe's expression did not change at all.
He twisted his wrist at Master Shen, and a sound like popping beans suddenly rang out from his hand.
Master Shen had never been in a fight before, and he couldn't help but feel a little timid when he saw this, but he still forced himself to stand still.
Zhou Chenghe seemed to be able to see through all of Mr. Shen's disguises. He exuded a captivating aura and walked forward step by step like a giant python choosing its prey.
"My young lady said that Mu Xin Comics Shop is a profiteer, so she sent me to eradicate it!" He spoke word by word, but each word was more powerful than the previous one.
Master Shen swallowed unconsciously. How could he, who had lived in a greenhouse since he was a child, withstand Zhou Chenghe, who had fought with real swords and guns?
Behind him, many people slowly walked out from the crowd. They had different heights and appearances, but they had the same word written on their cuffs: Zhou!
These are all people from Zhou’s Martial Arts School.
Everyone who saw this scene was terrified: "Zhao Si must be in real trouble this time!"
"Oh my god, how many years has it been since the Zhou family martial arts school mobilized its entire staff?"
"From what Zhou Chenghe said, it seems like his mistress sent him here to wipe out Mu Xin Comics because the comics were of poor quality before."
Some of the onlookers who were watching the lively scene sighed, "If that's true, then Zhao Si must have been treated too unfairly. He was just about to turn over a new leaf when his former enemies smashed his business!"
"But what about Master Shen? He usually has the best heart. Could it be that he saw that Miss Zhao was pitiful today and helped her?"
"Do you think Zhou Chenghe will let things go peacefully just because of Master Shen?"
…
Now, Mr. Shen has become the last barrier of the comic shop.
Everyone was wondering whether Zhou Chenghe would give in, but facing Zhou Chenghe's invisible oppression, he finally chose to step back silently and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
In an instant, the destruction of the comic book shop seemed inevitable.
