Ma Yunfei said sadly, "Your dad just said he never wants to see me again. I'm thinking: from now on, I'll have my brother, the abbot, deliver the yams. He'll just weigh them and count the quantity. You can just transfer the payment to my bank card."
"Brother Ma, I'll miss you if you don't come."
"Tianmei, in order for us to continue this business relationship, I have no choice but to temporarily avoid you. Perhaps, after a while, your father will change his opinion of me, and then we can still meet."
Xia Tian said helplessly, "Alright, then let the abbot deliver the yams for now. My dad's blood pressure has been a bit abnormal lately, so I don't dare to upset him too much."
Ma Yunfei went downstairs and said to the abbot, "Let's go, let's call it a day!"
Ma Yunfei sat in the cab of the first truck, and the abbot sat in the cab of the fourth truck. The four trucks drove out of Jiufa Company in turn.
Just as I stepped out, three young men suddenly blocked my way.
It was already 10 p.m.
There wasn't a single pedestrian to be seen on this quiet street.
Suddenly, three young men stopped the car; clearly, they had ill intentions.
The driver slammed on the brakes and exclaimed in alarm, "Boss Ma, something's wrong!"
A young man stood in front of the car, while two other young men walked to the driver's side and said menacingly, "Who brought this car?"
Ma Yunfei rolled down the car window and replied, "Who are you people, and what right do you have to stop our car?"
A young man looked at Ma Yunfei and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Where I came from is none of your business. If you are a police officer, please show your identification!"
"Hehe... You're pretty cool, kid. A guy from out of town actually came all the way to City A to pick up girls. You've got guts, kid."
Ma Yunfei remembered that when Erlv came to deliver yams that time, he heard that he was also stopped by two young men who said that Erlv had harassed their girlfriend and beat Erlv up.
Ma Yunfei knew that the scene must have been arranged by Xia Tian to intimidate Erlv and prevent him from coming to City A again.
Why did I encounter this kind of scene again today?
Obviously, this couldn't have been directed by Xia Tian; it must have been Xia Tian's father, Xia Jiufa, who orchestrated this.
Ma Yunfei retorted, "Brother, I don't understand what you're saying. I'm a businessman, only interested in money. Besides, I'm a married man with a wife at home. Why would I come to City A to pick up girls?"
"You brat, you're still pretty stubborn. Get down here, I want to see how tough your body is."
Clearly, these young men wanted to beat up Ma Yunfei so that he wouldn't dare to deliver yams to City A again.
Ma Yunfei shouted, "Abbot, get out of the car!"
A young man laughed and said disdainfully, "You little brat, you want to call for reinforcements? Let me tell you: this is our territory. Even if you only have four cars, or even a hundred, I can send a whole regiment of men with just one phone call."
Ma Yunfei sneered, "Brother, you're too arrogant. Are you a regimental commander? I don't think you're even qualified to be a squad leader. If you're so capable, why don't you make a phone call?"
The young man twisted the car handle, trying to open the car door and then pull Ma Yunfei out of the car.
At this moment, the abbot caught up and shouted sternly, "Stop!"
A young man shoved the abbot and threatened him, "You better be smart and go cool off over there. Don't meddle in other people's business, or we'll beat you up too."
The abbot said sternly, "I'll count to three, and you'd better get out of here right now! We're in business and don't want trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. If you don't get out of here, you'll be lying on the street looking for your teeth in less than a minute."
The abbot was of medium height and had a kind face; he didn't seem like a ruthless character.
A young man laughed loudly and said, "You country bumpkin, you've got quite the nerve. Listen to him, he's threatening to beat us to a pulp."
The young man opened his mouth, pointed to his teeth, and said, "You country bumpkin, if you can knock one of my teeth out, I'll call you dad."
The abbot, having reached his limit, swung his fist and punched the boy in the nose.
With a muffled thud, a spurt of blood gushed from his nose.
The young man screamed and covered his nose.
The other two young men rushed up, but the abbot calmly raised his leg and kicked one of them to the ground, then swung his fist at the other man's forehead.
The other young man was quick-witted. Seeing that things were not going well, he lowered his head, bent over, and ran away like a rabbit.
Seeing that things were going badly, the young man with the bleeding nose also tried to run away.
Ma Yunfei said, "Abbot, don't let them get away."
The abbot grabbed one person with each hand and pinned them against the side of the carriage.
Ma Yunfei asked, "Which of you three is the leader?"
The person covering their nose pointed at another person and said, "He...he's the boss."
Ma Yunfei pushed the boss into the car and said to the abbot, "You wait here, I'm taking him back to Jiufa Company."
The leader was kicked in the stomach, and he clutched his stomach, groaning and crying out.
The truck drove into Jiufa Company.
Summer poked her head out of the window and asked, puzzled, "Brother Ma, did you forget something here? Let me check for you."
"Tianmei, is your dad still in his office? I'd like to talk to him."
The window of the office next door opened, and Xia Jiufa poked his head out. He looked in surprise at Ma Yuntian dragging a young man along.
Ma Yunfei said politely, "President Xia, just now, as soon as we stepped out of the gate of Jiufa Company, we were stopped by three guys. This guy is the leader."
Xia Jiufa said in a panic, "Xiao Ma, what do you mean by bringing him here?"
"Mr. Xia, I just want to ask if these three young men were sent by you. If they were, I will let them go. But if they weren't sent by you, I will immediately call the police and have them interrogate them properly. I suspect they are robbers."
Xia Jiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Ma, I didn't send these people, but this young man is an acquaintance of mine. Please let him go for my sake."
Although Xia Jiufa denied that he had sent the three young men, he did at least speak conciliatory words.
Ma Yunfei readily agreed, "President Xia, I will definitely give you face, no questions asked."
Ma Yunfei patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Since President Xia has put in a good word for you, I'll let you go. Buddy, we've never met before and have no grudges against each other. Don't make things difficult for me in the future. To tell you the truth, the guy who beat you up earlier was actually a monk. He's been practicing martial arts since he was three years old. Let alone the three of you, even if three hundred people came, they wouldn't be able to beat him if they were unarmed."
