Lu Qing followed Shen Qiqi's gaze and frowned slightly.
When the man saw that he was discovered, he quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
An uneasy premonition came to his mind, and Lu Qing vaguely felt that this person might be related to the previous troubles.
Before he could think about it, a burst of noise broke the bustle of the market.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Qian Dipi, accompanied by two burly men with ferocious faces, came towards Shen Qiqi's stall in a menacing manner.
The two men were like two iron towers, sticking their way to the entrance of the stall, surrounding Shen Qiqi's stall completely, scaring away the customers who originally wanted to buy things.
"Wow, business is good!" Qian Dipi spoke sarcastically with a disgusting fake smile on his face, just like a weasel who had successfully stolen some fish.
"Shouldn't the protection fee be doubled today?"
Shen Qiqi's heart trembled, and a tense atmosphere instantly enveloped her.
This Qian the gangster is really haunting us!
Not yet fully taught the lesson from last time, he actually found help again.
She subconsciously held Lu Qing's hand tightly, and her palms were slightly sweaty.
Lu Qing held her hand in his backhand, giving her silent comfort.
A warm current spread from the palm of her hand to her heart, and Shen Qiqi's originally flustered heart gradually calmed down.
If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Why should we be afraid of him?
I'm not a vegetarian!
Lu Qing's face also turned gloomy, and a sense of vigilance spread in his heart.
He protected Shen Qiqi behind him, staring at Qian Dipi with sharp eyes, like a cheetah ready to attack at any time.
The air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to explode.
Seeing that the two men did not react, Qian Dipi thought they were scared and became even more arrogant.
He boasted a beer belly and said arrogantly, "Hand over the money quickly if you're smart, otherwise..." He paused deliberately, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, "Hmph, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, but still had a calm smile on her face.
She gently pushed Lu Qing away, took a step forward, and looked directly at Qian Dipi with a chilling look in her eyes.
"Qian Dipi, are you planning to rob me openly?" "Robbery openly? Girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want!" Qian Dipi's eyes widened and his thick chin trembled, as if he had heard some huge joke.
"I'm collecting protection money! Do you understand the rules?"
"Protection money? Who are you protecting?" Shen Qiqi sneered, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "If you really have the ability, go protect the country and the people. How can you be a hero to come here and bully us small vendors?" Although the surrounding stall owners and customers did not dare to speak out, they all cast approving glances at her. Shen Qiqi's words could be said to have expressed their thoughts.
"Girl, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink for me!" Qian Dipi became furious and waved his hand, signaling the two strong men behind him to take action.
"Let's see who dares!" Shen Qiqi suddenly raised her voice, like a loud bell, making the ears of the people around her buzz.
"How dare you commit violence in the street in broad daylight? Do you really think there is no law? I will go to the police station to sue you for disrupting the order of the market!" Her eyes were firm, and a fearless atmosphere rose around her, like a burning flame, lighting up everyone's heart.
The two strong men brought by Qian Dipi were originally aggressive, but now they were a little hesitant.
They just took the money to do the job, but they didn't intend to get themselves involved.
Seeing this, Qian Dipi cursed these two losers in his heart, but he was in a difficult situation at the moment and had to bite the bullet and continue shouting: "Go to the police station? Just you? Don't you see who you are? I..."
"Don't be afraid, Qiqi, I'm here." Lu Qing protected Shen Qiqi behind him and glared at Qian Dipi.
His eyes were full of protectiveness, and a brave aura emanated from him, as if he were a towering mountain, shielding Shen Qiqi from the wind and rain.
Shen Qiqi felt warm in her heart, and the emotion of being touched overflowed in her heart.
Qian Dipi felt uneasy when he saw Lu Qing's eyes, and his momentum weakened a bit, but he still said unforgivingly: "Oh, you really are protecting me! I tell you, you have to pay the protection fee today, whether you want to or not!"
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd: "Hey, isn't this Qian Diba! Are you bullying people here again?"
Qian Dipi looked in the direction of the sound and his face suddenly turned ashen.
The person who spoke was Mr. Chen who had ruined his good fortune last time.
This old man is really haunting!
He glared at Uncle Chen fiercely and cursed him in his heart.
Before Qian Dipi could speak, another voice came from the crowd: "Qiqi, what's wrong?" Brother Lu walked over through the crowd, and saw the tense scene with a frown on his face.
Although he did not support Shen Qiqi's exposure in business, he also did not want to see her being bullied.
When Qian Dipi saw Brother Lu, his eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea.
He said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this the eldest brother of the Lu family? Your sister-in-law is really amazing. She set up a stall in this market and her business is booming. She doesn't even have to pay protection fees!"
When Brother Lu heard this, his face darkened.
Although he couldn't stand Qian Di's behavior, he also felt that it was disrespectful for Shen Qiqi to sell things in the market.
He said to Shen Qiqi with a stern face: "Qiqi, you are a woman, why don't you stay at home and run out to show your face in public? What's the matter with you? Hurry up and pack your things and come home with me!"
Before Shen Qiqi could even speak, she heard a sarcastic voice coming from the side: "Hey, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the Lu family! What's going on? Business is not going well, are you going to cry?"
