[CEO Chapter 6] Protection Fee

On the way back to the overpass, they will pass through a junction where the old and new city areas meet.

That is also where He Sinian picked up Chu Jiao. There are alleys with twists and turns, and there are no street lights. If it is the first or thirtieth day of the lunar month when there is no moonlight, the alleys are pitch dark.

This day happened to be the sixteenth day, and there was a full moon in the sky, but it happened to be blocked by a thick dark cloud. He Sinian held Chu Jiao through the alleys. This is the road he has to pass every day. Even if the night is shrouded at this moment, he can still walk smoothly.

"Crack--"

The sound of dead branches being stepped on. It is particularly obvious in the silent night, which makes He Sinian stop.

"Who!?"

He Sinian rushed forward into the darkness, trying to keep calm.

"Tsk, we've been discovered."

A duck-like voice came from the darkness, followed by several different footsteps. He Sinian only saw a few shadows, but Chu Jiao pricked up her eyes and saw who was coming.

They were three fierce-looking, yellow-haired hooligans who looked like teenagers, but were skinny and looked like skeletons.

"Little brother, you've been very good lately," one of the men walked up slowly, holding a stick-like object in one hand and constantly hitting the other hand, "You must have made a lot of money with this little cat, right?"

The man smiled sinisterly, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow teeth, and stretched out his fingers to touch Chu Jiao, but retracted his hand when he saw Chu Jiao's fierce grin.

He Sinian tightened his arms, and Chu Jiao could feel his tension and uneasiness.

"Do you know that wherever you go, you are protected by your brothers?" The man with yellow teeth approached He Sinian, his eyes fierce and greedy.

"If you know what's good for you, just pay the protection fee. We have helped you deal with a lot of people who want to cause trouble these days, you know that."

Chu Jiao knew that these people were blackmailing her as soon as she heard it, but He Sinian looked at the three people in front of him who were weak but he had no power to fight back. After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "How much do you want to pay?"

Stupid child! They are here to cheat you out of your money! How can you be so easily fooled!

Chu Jiao "meowed" twice anxiously, but He Sinian only hugged her tighter.

She didn't know that He Sinian was not a liar, but was worried about her safety.

Before He Sinian responded, he thought about it. If it was just him, with his agility and small stature, he might be able to get rid of these three people in the winding alley. But the cat is still so young, if he didn't run away, but was caught by these evil people stupidly, who knows what would happen to him!

If Chu Jiao knew that in the hero's heart, she was so weak and clumsy, she would definitely roll her eyes.

She is a cat, not a second-level cripple. Being bullied by people every day... Being held in someone's arms and unable to jump around on her own is already frustrating enough, and she even has to be doubted for her instincts and talents.

But in fact, Chu Jiao really enjoys the feeling of being cared for, loved, and treasured.

Although she is just an ordinary cat.

But it seems that in He Sinian's eyes, she is a unique treasure.

Just like Second Uncle treats her. Just like Master treats her.

In fact, she has had this feeling before, but it just flashed through her mind. And this time, facing a child who is only seven or eight years old, Chu Jiao did not think about it carefully, and regarded it as an illusion of her deep feelings for Second Uncle and Master.

Chu Jiao was still in a trance, and Huang Ya had already spoken.

"It's not much, just pay 500 this month."

This, this is not much! ?

He Sinian took two steps back, and had already made up his mind not to give.

You know, basically all the money they made every day had to be handed over to Brother Long. It was only in the past few months that they had a cat, and their income had increased a little. After handing over the required money, they could still secretly save a few or ten yuan every day. Now, he only had 400 yuan on him. Where could he find so much money?

Moreover, even if all the money was given to these people, according to Huang Ya, it was only for "this month", so wouldn't they have to pay next month?

He Sinian gritted his teeth, then when could he go home! ?

He Sinian glanced around with the corner of his eyes, and when a dark cloud blocked the full moon, he hugged Chu Jiao tightly, turned around and ran.

The three men probably didn't expect that their intimidation failed, and the fat meat they had in their hands dared to run away. After a moment of shock, they rushed after He Sinian.

He Sinian held Chu Jiao and turned left and right. Although he had an advantage because he was familiar with the terrain, his legs were short, and although Chu Jiao was not heavy, she was still a big burden for a child. He didn't run for long before he was caught up by the three men.
