They were holding weapons such as kitchen knives and baseball bats.

Lin Hao quickly put on a smile: "Oh, it's Brother Zhang, what can I do for you?"

The big man named Zhang pushed Lin Hao away without any courtesy, causing him to stagger.

He walked in with his three younger brothers behind him, and then sat down on the sofa with his legs spread out.

Ning Yu was standing at the door of the study, watching all this coldly through the crack in the door.

The big man named Zhang took out a cheap cigarette very rudely.

The younger brother next to him hurriedly handed over the fire and lit it for his elder brother.

He took a deep puff and a large part of the cigarette butt quickly burned off.

He opened his mouth and exhaled a large amount of secondhand smoke, and the choking smell instantly filled the living room.

He said word by word in a rough voice:

"I'm here to collect the rent."

Lin Hao was stunned and asked doubtfully:

"Brother Zhang, didn't we just have a conversation a few days ago?"

The younger brother next to him was very unhappy with Lin Hao's questioning and started to curse: "What are you arguing about, kid? I'm notifying you that the rules have changed. We will change the collection from once every two weeks to once a week."

As he spoke, he pushed and shoved Lin Hao, as if he was deliberately looking for trouble.

Lin Hao was obviously a little angry after being pushed, but he didn't dare to explode.

He knew that he was probably seen by these neighborhood bullies who came in the name of protection when he just came back with the meat and vegetables.

He was jealous and wanted to come here to get some benefits.

"Also, from now on, anything you find outside will need to be split 37%."

Brother Zhang flicked the ash directly onto the ground and threw out the new rules viciously.

"Do you have to take 30% every time?"

Lin Hao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Going out to look for something is a very risky thing. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

These guys relied on their numbers and weapons to collect rent frequently in the community.

It would be fine if they just called it "protection money", but now it has become even worse.

"You are dreaming your sweet dream. It's me 7 and you 3."

Brother Zhang gave a sarcastic smile.

"What?!"

Lin Hao didn't expect that this group of people would be so shameless.

"You must have gone out to find a lot of things just now. You must have worked hard~"

The big man said with a wry smile.

He waved his hand and called on his men to take the bags of food that were brought to the kitchen.

"You guys might as well just rob it!"

Lin Hao could hardly control his emotions anymore. His expression was so excited that his glasses were crooked due to anger.

"Hey~ How can you talk like that~"

Brother Zhang stood up suddenly and grabbed Lin Hao by the collar.

He casually threw the cigarette butt onto the originally clean floor without even stepping on it.

He approached Lin Hao, blowing out a mouthful of cigarette stench, and said with a smile: "We are very disciplined."

Then he kneed Lin Hao hard in the stomach!

"ah!"

Lin Hao was caught off guard and cried out in pain.

The big man then let go and threw him aside as if he were throwing away garbage, and he hit the coffee table.

"Be careful what you say next time. If we say 37-39, it means 37-39."

Brother Zhang laughed sarcastically.

He said to the brothers who were looting over there, "Leave some for him."

He turned around and said to Lin Hao who was struggling to get up: "You see, we keep our promise."

"But considering your skinny appearance, this is enough for you!"

The little brother over there flipped around for a while and shouted to the living room:

"Boss, these are all raw ingredients. Is this kid planning to cook every day?"

Brother Zhang glanced at Lin Hao unhappily and said, "You kid, remember to bring back something durable next time. Things like this won't count in the future."

Then he said to the younger brothers over there: "Let those women do some work and make these things when they have time!"

Lin Hao finally got up, his face was very uncertain, as if he was trying his best to endure something: "Please, Brother Zhang, leave some of that meat for me, I...I won't have enough to eat!"

The big man named Zhang raised his eyebrows, turned his head away with contempt, and spat on the ground:

"What if I say no!!!"

He suddenly screamed.

I saw that Lin Hao had a fruit knife in his hand without knowing when.

It stabbed Brother Zhang's arm.

Brother Zhang's face was distorted with pain. He swung his other hand back and punched Lin Hao hard in the face!

Lin Hao's glasses were smashed into pieces and his face was covered in blood!

He staggered back several steps, sat on the ground, and quickly got up again.

Completely ignoring the blood on his face, he angrily muttered:

"Do you guys think good people are easy to bully?"

"If you take my meat, none of you will get out alive!"

Lin Hao's expression was distorted as he uttered the harsh words, and it was hard to tell that he had previously looked like a weak scholar.

Unfortunately, uttering harsh words does not mean becoming successful.

Brother Zhang was a strong man. Although his arm hurt, he had been in the underworld for many years and didn't care about such a minor injury.

Lin Hao is like an elementary school student who only knows how to use the turtle punch, while Brother Zhang obviously has rich fighting experience.

He twisted his neck left and right, his face looking extremely ugly.

The muscles all over his body were knotted and exploded. He gritted his teeth and said, "I think you are an old man who has eaten arsenic. You think your life is too long!"

Lin Hao rushed over again.

The blood from the punch on his head had already flowed from his face onto his white shirt.

Looking at Lin Hao rushing towards him, Brother Zhang stepped forward and kicked him.

He kicked Lin Hao's chest hard, sending him flying backwards.

Brother Zhang pulled out the bayonet on his boots, and before Lin Hao could get up, he stabbed Lin Hao in the calf again.

He twisted it hard twice.

Lin Hao suddenly felt pain and let out a loud wail.

"ah!!!"

It was obvious that the technique of this knife was very exquisite, and the intense pain occupied Lin Hao's entire brain.

He felt like he couldn't breathe.

His eyes were bloodshot and he struggled hard, but was still stepped on to the ground. He tried to get up several times but failed.

Brother Zhang continued to grind him hard, mocking him non-stop:

"Xiao Lin, we are all civilized people. It's really disturbing for me that you suddenly use a knife like this."

Lin Hao was crushed to the ground and couldn't move. His mouth was in close contact with the floor, and he could only make vague sounds: "Leave my ingredients and meat to you bastards!"

[Ding! Mission: The Disease is Love progress has been updated]

[Mission: The disease is called love (2/?) Ensure Lin Hao’s life safety]

Ning Yu in the study heard the prompt about the system task update.

She was about to take action.

At first she thought it was just some minor conflict and she thought it would be better not to show up.

Now it seems that the situation has escalated into a violent physical conflict.

She didn't want to see the two attribute points she had worked so hard to get fly away like that.

Ning Yu casually opened the study door, picked up the fallen dining table and chairs, and walked into the living room.

Brother Zhang heard some movement behind him and did not let go of his foot on Lin Hao.

When I turned my head, I saw a little girl wearing beautiful clothes?

"Is this your sister? She's pretty. The one with the backpack downstairs just now must be her. What a pity."

He laughed intriguingly.

He bent down and pulled out the bayonet on Lin Hao's calf, causing Lin Hao to scream in pain again.

Since he had already started, he planned to kill them all and eradicate the roots.

Lin Hao also heard what Brother Zhang said and reluctantly turned his head to the ground.

Seeing Ning Yu coming out of the study, he hurriedly shouted:

"Why did you come out of the study? Run! These guys are desperate!!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was not behaving himself, Brother Zhang stepped on the wound on his calf again.

Make him shut up.

Ning Yu remained unmoved by the rampant gangster in front of her and Lin Hao on the ground who was shouting at her to run.

Instead, he walked straight towards Brother Zhang.

She was no longer the cute and obedient lolita she used to be. Instead, she had an indifferent look in her eyes and a cold face.

She raised her right hand gently and gracefully, and opened her palm slightly.

A crimson Tang sword suddenly appeared from her right hand, and she immediately grasped it! The cold light of the sword made Brother Zhang's eyes narrow slightly.
