Chapter 194 This is our Green Gang's young lady!
"Mao Mao, don't rush."
Lou Hongjian held his younger sister's round little body with both hands.
If it weren't for the car window, she would have been thrown out.
He reassured her, "Brother will go to save them right away, Mao Mao, don't panic."
Nie Zhengyun, who was standing next to him, immediately ordered, "Stop the car."
The driver slammed on the brakes, bringing the already slow-moving car to a stop.
The driver was Nie Zhengyun's confidant. Without being told, he opened the car door and strode towards the wonton stall.
Mao Mao also pounded on the car door anxiously. As soon as her brother opened the door, she immediately bent down and climbed off the car. Without anyone helping her, her short legs trotted straight towards the wonton stall.
Lou Hongjian and Nie Zhengyun quickly followed.
"Mao Mao, slow down!"
Over at the wonton stall.
He Mingshu opened his arms and shielded his mother behind him, but his mother also wanted to rush up to protect him, and the two supported each other.
"Uncle Deng, please have mercy," Mother He pleaded. "My son is young and doesn't know any better. Please forgive him and don't hold it against him. We'll pay the protection fee, however much we have!"
He Mingshu pressed his lips tightly together, until they lost all color: "Mom!"
Mother He gave her a meaningful look: "Xiao Shu, be a good boy."
"No way!" He Mingshu insisted stubbornly, "We can't pay! They've gone too far, raising the price again and again. We simply can't afford it, and besides..."
Mother He gripped his arm tightly: "Xiao Shu!"
Master Deng exchanged a glance with his men behind him, and one of his men kicked over the table and chairs next to them.
The bowls that hadn't been cleaned up yet fell to the ground with a loud crash, scattering shards of porcelain everywhere.
The sight made He Mingshu and his mother's hearts clench.
Bowls also cost money.
But right now, they obviously can't care about that.
With a toothpick in his mouth, Deng pushed the young man blocking his way. He Mingshu was thin and weak, and couldn't withstand the push. He staggered backward, but quickly regained his balance and glared back defiantly.
There were no classes at school today, so he came to help out at Mother He's wonton stall.
This wasn't the first time he'd helped out; he often came to the wonton stall when he wasn't in school, and his regular customers all knew him.
"I know you, a student at Haicheng Middle School, right? A real prodigy." Deng said casually, "But, even if you were the King of Heaven himself, you'd still have to be reasonable, let alone a student like you."
He removed the toothpick from his mouth and gestured to the side: "This territory is under my protection. Your mother does business on my turf, so I'm just taking a little money to protect her business. Is there a problem?"
He turned to his men and asked, "Is there a problem?"
His men burst into laughter and kicked over a nearby stool.
Deng Ye withdrew his gaze and said with ill intent, "See, there's no problem."
“Great talent, you can afford to attend Haicheng Middle School, surely you can’t be stingy with this little bit of money?”
He Mingshu glared at them.
How could there be no problem?!
These thugs, under the pretext of collecting protection money, would come every few days to swindle money or eat and drink for free at the stall. The wonton stall already had meager income, and most of it was plundered by these bullies.
But that's not all. They were ordinary people, orphans and widows, with no one to rely on. Faced with these bullies, they could only swallow their anger.
But these people are getting more and more outrageous, their appetites are getting bigger and bigger. Today, they came to the wonton stall, ate more than a dozen bowls of wontons, and after wiping their mouths, they actually asked for twenty yuan!
All their possessions combined didn't even amount to twenty yuan!
Moreover, the doctor said that his mother's illness could not be delayed any longer, and they hadn't even saved enough money for the life-saving surgery. How could they just hand it over to these thugs for nothing?!
He Mingshu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. He glared angrily at the bully opposite him, his eyes slightly red with rage.
He's mother pulled him aside, saying, "Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu!"
But He Mingshu wouldn't listen to a word.
The doctor's words echoed in his ears like a death knell, reminding him again and again.
if……
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, Uncle Deng let out a cry of pain, which brought him back to his senses.
Just moments ago, Master Deng had been so arrogant and domineering in front of him, but now his hands were tied behind his back and he was pressed against a table next to him, his repulsive face distorted by the pressure.
The change happened so fast that he couldn't react in time.
"Hero, spare me! Spare me!" Old Deng cried out, begging for mercy. "It hurts! It hurts! Go easy on me!"
He Mingshu: "..."
what happened?
A little, panting voice came running up from the side: "No! You can't bully your brother!"
He Mingshu looked down and saw a little girl with short arms and legs rush in front of him, stretching out her chubby arms to block him.
He paused for a moment, then quickly recognized him.
It was that little girl I saw at the hospital, the one who mistook me for her brother.
Did she mistake someone for someone else again today?
With her little head held high and her bright black eyes blazing with anger, Mao Mao angrily shouted at Grandpa Deng, "You can't bully your brother!"
Seeing that Deng Ye didn't respond, Nie Zhengyun's driver punched him: "Did you hear that?"
Master Deng quickly begged for mercy: "I heard you, I heard you."
After begging for mercy, he asked, puzzled, "Who are you?"
Even though he was at a disadvantage, he still had to defend himself: "Big brother..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nie Zhengyun's subordinate threw another punch, making Deng Ye see stars and his consciousness become somewhat blurred.
"Who says I'm your older brother? Don't try to get too familiar with me!"
Nie Zhengyun's subordinate said fiercely, "Don't you dare cause trouble for this mother and son again, do you hear me?"
But even a clay figure has its temper, and besides, he was originally a bully who abused his power.
To be attacked and beaten without a word, and then threatened like this, is simply putting his face on the ground and stepping on it.
Anyone can threaten him. How can he intimidate people in the future?
Old Master Deng gritted his teeth: "Who are you people?"
Mao Mao answered him very loudly: "It's Mao Mao!"
Nie Zhengyun's subordinates quickly added, "She's a young lady from our Green Gang!"
Deng Ye: "..."
In Haicheng, who hasn't heard of the Green Gang?
Compared to a behemoth like the Green Gang, a thug like him who collects protection money is as insignificant as an ant next to an elephant.
No, you have such a powerful backer, why didn't you say so earlier?
