And from now on, it has to be paid every week, not a single cent less!
Yu Chengyuan sneered, thinking to himself, "You little bastards dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount."
"Another 20% discount? That's hilarious!"
He deliberately feigned weakness, saying, "Brothers, could you please lower the price? My business is small, I don't make much money."
The blond-haired man waved his hand impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! It's fifty, not a penny less and you can forget about setting up a stall here!"
This whole street is my territory.
If you're not going to pay, then get the hell out of here!
Plenty of people are willing to pay protection money.
Yu Chengyuan sighed helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I'll give it to you."
"But my money is in my bag, gentlemen, please wait a moment."
As he spoke, he slowly squatted down, as if to get his bag. Just as the thugs relaxed their guard, Yu Chengyuan suddenly made a move, sweeping his leg and knocking the blond-haired guy to the ground.
Seeing this, the other thugs immediately surrounded them.
Yu Chengyuan remained calm and nimbly dodged left and right. Seizing the opportunity, he punched one of the thugs in the stomach. The thug cried out "Ouch!" and squatted down, clutching his stomach.
The remaining two thugs panicked a bit, not expecting that this seemingly refined stall owner actually had some skills.
They were all hesitant to approach, and the blond-haired guy, enraged, shouted, "Why are you all hiding?"
"Hurry up and go! There are more of us than him. What's he afraid of if he's all alone?"
He talked about it but didn't do anything; the handsome guy in front of him seemed to have some martial arts skills.
Could it be that they went to Shaolin Temple together to become disciples and learn martial arts?
While responding flexibly, Yu Chengyuan didn't forget to tease, "With your mediocre skills, you're trying to collect protection money? Go home and practice for a few more years!"
After saying that, he executed another beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, sending another thug sprawling face-first into the mud.
The blond-haired leader was thrown face-first into a puddle on the road.
The others were also groaning and howling in pain.
Seeing that things were not going well, the last thug turned to run away, but Yu Chengyuan was not about to let him succeed. He chased after him in a few steps, grabbed his collar, and with a gentle shove, the thug collapsed to the ground.
Several thugs lay on the ground, covered in dirt and grime, repeatedly begging for mercy: "Big brother, we were wrong, please forgive us, we'll never do it again..."
Yu Chengyuan dusted himself off and said disdainfully, "Remember, don't bully people. If I see you collecting protection money again, I'll hand you over to Uncle Hat."
"Big brother, spare us! We won't dare again, we'll never dare again..."
"Get out of here!"
The thugs scrambled away, looking utterly pathetic, like a bunch of stray dogs.
After this commotion, passersby looked at him with admiration, and some stall owners nearby also gave him a thumbs up.
This was immediately followed by enthusiastic applause.
"Young man, not bad!"
"Young man, you're something else. These thugs often collect protection money here, and the locals don't dare to mess with them."
"Young man, thanks to you, it's so satisfying to have helped everyone vent their anger."
"Young man, is this your first time setting up a stall here?"
I've never seen you before.
Everyone started praising him, one after another.
Yu Chengyuan was embarrassed by the praise.
He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. "Thank you for the compliments, everyone. I'm not that great, I just have some strength."
These thugs are just bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.
Actually, if you stall owners just stick together, they won't dare to do anything.
Yu Chengyuan spoke to some of the stall owners on either side of him.
That's just how people are; they bully the weak and fear the strong. It's a deep-seated flaw in human nature.
These stall owners are usually afraid because one person can't fight against several of them.
If everyone unites, those thugs won't dare to do it anymore.
Those people weren't carrying fruit knives or anything like that, which means they didn't intend to cause any death.
Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that the young man was right.
Yu Chengyuan tidied up his stall and continued doing business, as if the scene just now was just a minor episode.
At this moment, his wife Liu Sulan rushed over with the child in her arms, followed by his parents.
Yu Chengyuan quickly took the child from him, "Wife, Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"
