"Do I need to talk about the law when I'm beating you guys? This area is my territory, and I am the law here! You guys hurry up and beat them up! Let them know that I'm not someone to be trifled with!"
The way Manager Ding spoke made it sound as if Xu Yuehuai and the others were the criminals. This led the unsuspecting onlookers to believe that Manager Ding was merely punishing those who had offended them.
Xu Yuehuai immediately called out to the surrounding people, shouting to them, "This person can't stand seeing Manager Liu doing well, and now that he's met Manager Liu, he's been targeting him!"
"We didn't offend him at all; he clearly came looking for trouble! And now he's trying to attack us! I wonder how many people he's dealt with like this before, both openly and secretly?"
Hearing this, the people nearby immediately connected many things to what had happened. Not only Manager Ding, but also his son and relatives, had bullied many people in this area, relying on their family's wealth.
Someone threw a large cabbage at Manager Ding, yelling, "My sister-in-law was perfectly fine at home, but if she came out for a holiday, your bastard would ruin her! Your Ding family really deserves to die!"
"Yes! This street may be yours, but the laws aren't set by you! Daring to injure people in the street, there's no law anymore! We should jointly petition His Majesty!"
"They just came to the clinic for treatment, and you not only blocked their way but also tried to hurt them. Isn't that the behavior of a thug? And you're still pretending to be innocent! I don't know how you have the nerve to say those things!"
As Manager Ding's belongings piled up, the servants beside him quickly stepped in to stop him, blocking out the messy vegetable leaves in front of him.
But some things still landed at Manager Ding's feet, soiling the hem of his clothes. Manager Ding immediately flew into a rage, waving his hand to order the servants beside him to step forward and stop those people.
"You've all gone too far! If it weren't for me, this street would still be a slum! I've helped everyone so much, and yet you're all working against me!"
"It would be better if none of us had a good time! If anyone lays a hand on me, break their hand! And those who curse me, tear their mouths apart!"
Manager Ding ordered his servants to go forward and beat the man, but before the servants could even step forward, some angry civilians rushed forward.
They had long been fed up with Manager Ding; all he had was a few stinking bucks, yet he controlled this entire neighborhood. All the rules were dictated by Manager Ding.
During their famine, it was Manager Ding who secretly led those people to drive up prices. As a result, some people couldn't afford food and their families were eventually ruined and they died.
Although the court of the Dark Moon Kingdom was able to provide relief to some people, it couldn't take care of every family. Although the famine had passed, the hatred in these people's hearts had not subsided.
All of this is because of Manager Ding! Over the years, Manager Ding has been bullying and oppressing people in the city, relying on his power and influence to treat ordinary people as less than human.
Now that they've angered these people, they don't care about anything else. They grabbed whatever they could find and started attacking Manager Ding and his group!
The whole scene was in complete chaos. Xu Yuehuai never expected that he would run into such a serious brawl just by going out for a short trip.
Before she could even think about whether to retaliate, Manager Liu grabbed her clothes and pulled her back. With his other hand, Manager Liu grabbed the young man from the Liu family who wanted to join the fun, and led them to a corner.
The people rushed forward and fought with Manager Ding's men! Neither side would give way, and both sides were injured!
Chaos erupted immediately, with some vendors' stalls falling apart. Goods were scattered on the ground, trampled and filthy.
After being beaten, some of the commoners picked up broken jars and smashed them at Manager Ding's servants. Although they wanted to harm Manager Ding, they didn't dare to kill him; they would only hit him a few times, but mostly they attacked the servants around him.
Those servants were nothing more than slaves; even if they were beaten to death, the worst that would happen is that they'd have to pay some money. If they couldn't afford to pay, the punishment wouldn't be too severe.
When Manager Ding saw that the people had gone mad, he was also hit a few times. In a panic, he tried to escape, but he had nowhere to go.
Xu Yuehuai didn't want to escalate the situation, so he shouted into the crowd, "The soldiers are coming this way! Everyone, run!" As soon as he finished speaking, the frightened people around him quickly retreated.
Some people even picked up things from the ground and threw them at Manager Ding. After venting their anger, they hurriedly fled.
With the people all fleeing, only Manager Ding and his servants remained in the entire area. Manager Ding's face was now covered in bruises and welts, and even his legs were injured, making him unsteady on his feet, requiring the support of his servants.
Seeing Manager Ding's reaction, Xu Yuehuai was somewhat afraid that Manager Ding would harbor even more resentment towards Manager Liu in the future. However, the hatred between the two of them, regardless of whether today's events occurred or not, would remain and would not disappear.
There is only one way to resolve this matter: make Manager Liu more powerful than Manager Ding! Xu Yuehuai is confident that with her help, Manager Liu's business will grow even larger than Manager Ding's in the future.
Although Manager Ding is good at business, he lacks the ethics of a businessman and has no respect for ordinary people. People like him may be able to occupy a place now, but they will definitely fall in the future!
But the Liu family is different. They are of good character, and even though they have been forced into this situation, they still retain a shred of kindness and refuse to do evil to others. Only people like them deserve all the good things in life.
Xu Yuehuai would naturally help them, freeing them from Manager Ding's control so they could have their own businesses and thrive on this street.
After Manager Ding was seriously injured, he quickly had someone take him to the clinic. They happened to be at the clinic entrance, so they were able to get inside quickly for treatment.
Xu Yuehuai felt a little regretful. She had originally wanted to take Manager Liu to this best clinic for treatment, but since Manager Ding had gone in, she could only take Manager Liu and the others to another place.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone call her from behind. The voice was very familiar; she didn't even need to turn around to know it was Qi Guze!
Xu Yuehuai now regrets her decision. Why did she suddenly ask someone to call for help? And the helper she called was none other than Qi Guze!
In front of Qi Guze, Xu Yuehuai didn't want to show her fierce side, so she obediently turned around and replied, "I'm here!"
