"Bang!"
Before Lao Ba could finish his words, the door was kicked open from outside.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people rushed in.
Sixth Brother and his men reacted quickly, picking up weapons from the side and forming a confrontation situation.
"Jiaojiao, are you okay?"
"Xin Lan?" Lin Jiaojiao saw Xin Lan rushing in and instantly understood what was going on. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Ren Yiwei walk out from behind: "Why are you here too?"
"Comrade Lin, don't be afraid, we are here to rescue you!"
Xin Lan said, looking angrily at the sixth brother beside her: "Let him go!"
"The boss is this gang. They rushed in for no apparent reason. I saw my auntie outside! She was captured by their people!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you think everyone is like you? We just asked you to come here as a witness. His son is disobeying the law in broad daylight and actually wants to detain an innocent person here!"
When the Sixth Brother learned that his mother had been captured by them, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Boss Lin, although you are indeed my benefactor, it does not mean that you can touch my mother casually!"
"Sixth brother, you misunderstood."
Lin Jiaojiao was also confused. She didn't expect Xin Lan to dare to do such a thing.
"I didn't misunderstand! Let my mother go immediately, otherwise I won't be afraid of anything!"
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Sixth Brother's red eyes and realized that his bottom line had really been touched. She hurriedly said to Xin Lan who was not far away: "Go and send Auntie back. They didn't detain me."
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. We have enough people with us."
Ren Yiwei also echoed: "Indeed, and we have also alarmed some other thugs around here. If we hand this lady over to them, I wonder if they will be kind enough to sit down and talk to you?"
"You're looking for death!"
"How could that be? This is a society ruled by law. If I really die, everyone, including those who witnessed it, your mother, will suffer. Why don't we all calm down and have a good talk?"
"I've never been humiliated like this in my life. Boss Lin, you're truly amazing!"
Lin Jiaojiao was really overwhelmed.
Could it be that everything we had agreed upon with so much difficulty would just be destroyed like this?
A wave of resentment welled up in her heart: "Xin Lan, stop messing around and send him back. This wasn't done by Sixth Brother, and he and I were discussing cooperation. What's the difference between what you're doing and kidnapping? If the police find out, everyone will be in trouble!"
"Don't worry, I've already said hello. Someone is watching at the police station entrance. If there's any news, they'll notify us immediately."
When Lin Jiaojiao heard Ren Yiwei's words, she couldn't help but look at him more, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it now: "Xin Lan, don't you believe me?"
"I'm just worried about you."
"It's really okay, leave now and send the person back!"
Seeing Lin Jiaojiao's resolute attitude, Xin Lan finally gave up her resolve: "Alright, alright, let's all go. Yi Wei, you take the old lady over safely. I'll stay here with Jiaojiao."
"No, I'll stay."
"I'm one of the owners of this store. No matter what, I have the right to stay. But why don't you send him back quickly? Do you really want all of our employees to suffer with you?"
Ren Yiwei stopped arguing and left with a group of people.
The Sixth Brother still had a look of anger and distrust on his face: "Old Eighth, come with us."
"Don't worry, big brother!"
After the crowd dispersed, only two girls, Lin Jiaojiao and Xin Lan, were left in the yard.
The other brothers around the Sixth Brother had lost their previous friendship and were all vicious.
Lin Jiaojiao protected Xin Lan behind her and forced a smile: "It's really just a misunderstanding, they are just worried about me."
"You think I'll believe it?"
"Why don't you believe me? I can trust that Sixth Brother didn't hurt anyone in my shop, and even had someone prepare a much-needed medicine for your mother. Don't you even want to give me that little bit of trust? Sixth Brother is so smart, you really don't consider the business I mentioned?"
"What business?"
Lin Jiaojiao patted Xin Lan's arm soothingly without explaining for the time being.
The sixth brother looked at him, then looked at Xin Lan beside him, and waited until the seventh brother came back from outside without saying a word.
"What happened to Sixth Brother?"
"Nothing, you say."
"Oh, I found out. Those guys weren't local, but they took the money. It was a fight inside their stall."
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't hear clearly and was not too surprised.
In fact, when Sixth Brother said it wasn't them, she had already guessed this would be the result.
Xin Lan, on the other hand, was filled with disbelief. "What do you mean? The one who injured the person was another stall owner? How is that possible? We usually get along peacefully!"
"Pfft! Live in peace? How could this happen? Lin Jiaojiao, you talked so much before, but what about now? You haven't even resolved your internal conflicts, so why are you still setting up a guild?"
"Three days."
"Are you still so confident?"
"Just three days."
"Okay, if you can really convince them within these three days, then we'll have this deal, and you can cancel the matter of inviting my mother here. Otherwise, I won't do anything to you, but I'm not sure about the others!"
Xin Lan looked at the look in Sixth Brother's eyes and felt a chill down her spine.
After leaving the coffin shop, it took me a long time to come back to my senses.
"These people are so scary, they are just a bunch of desperate criminals! Jiaojiao, what business are you discussing with them?"
"They're not as scary as you say. You yourself said we live in a society ruled by law. If they were truly desperate criminals, why would the country have kept them here until now? They're just a bunch of thugs at best. But after today's conversation, I think this Sixth Brother has some skills."
Lin Jiaojiao briefly recounted her conversation with Sixth Brother today.
Xin Lan grabbed her arm, her face filled with disbelief: "Are you kidding me? If you ask him to be the union leader, then it will be lawless!"
"How could that be? There's the government overseeing it from above, the Market Supervision Bureau overseeing it from below, and there are also pre-set rules."
"That's not okay either. I don't think it's appropriate!"
"Don't worry, the country will also have such considerations. When the time comes, they will naturally send people down, or find someone to keep an eye on it."
"Now that you put it that way, I understand a little bit, but..."
"This is also a way to keep them in check. Otherwise, if these people really can't make any money and become desperate, we'll be the first to suffer. The state and society will put it on the line, but the procedures are complicated. If something goes wrong during that time, we can't afford the consequences."
"I understand, but what about the other stall owners? I'm so pissed! We usually get along so well, why would they do this behind my back? They're even worse than that Sixth Brother!"
