Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Rogue Attack (1)_1 Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Rogue Attack (1)_1 Lin Yuan squinted her eyes, feeling her luck was particularly good today.

She had run into Boss Lin Yongcheng in the morning and now she bumped into number two, Lin Yong Le.

She wouldn’t believe it to be a coincidence even if it killed her.

And it seemed this guy just couldn’t change his ways.

Last time, to settle a dispute over a fight he had caused, her father had paid with a leg.

If he truly had the gall to cause her trouble this time, she’d show him what it meant to give back!

“Move aside!

Move aside!” A tall figure, clearly the leader, pushed through the crowd that hadn’t yet managed to get out of the way and stood in front of Lin Yuan’s mooncake stand.

Placing his hands on his hips and raising his voice, he bellowed, “Hey, girl, who allowed you to set up shop here, huh?

Let me tell you, this street is my Wang Tianba’s turf.

You dare to set up a stall to make money without my permission?

How can you be so ignorant of the rules?”

Lin Yuan glanced sideways at Lin Yong Le, who was blending in with the crowd and not making himself known, and sneered inwardly.

It seemed she had run into someone collecting protection money.

“Rules?

What rules is big brother talking about?

It’s my first day here, so I really didn’t know,” Lin Yuan said, widening her innocent eyes and lifting her small face.

Compared to the much taller Wang Tianba, she did indeed resemble a Little White Rabbit under a tiger’s paw.

“Haha, ‘Sister’?

‘Big Brother’?” Wang Tianba laughed heartily, stroking his chin with one hand as his lecherous eyes sized up Lin Yuan from head to toe, smirking, “Although you’re a bit on the frail side, you’re quite pretty.

How about this: if you spend some quality time with me, I’ll look after you from now on.

I guarantee no one in Zhuma Town will dare to mess with you!”

With his words followed a wave of vulgar, lewd laughter.

His cronies behind him also joined in the laughter, some ogling Lin Yuan’s face while others gazed at her chest, and a few even rubbed their hands together, appearing eager to try their luck.

Xia Zheng, who had crossed his arms to watch the excitement, raised an eyebrow.

A dangerous light shot from his cynical eyes.

Zhuma Town indeed had some bullies who made a living by extorting protection money from small traders, but this was the first time he’d encountered such despicably lowly thugs who so openly haggled for favours.

He wondered how Li Chang managed Zhuma Town, allowing such people to brazenly bully others openly and without any consequence!

Just as he was about to intervene and teach these lowlifes a lesson, he saw that Lin Yuan had already quietly picked up the fruit knife that she had used to threaten him earlier.

Xia Zheng curled the corner of his lips and stilled, having experienced firsthand her tricks.

Although she lacked inner strength and martial arts skills, her methods were quite peculiar.

If it weren’t for his quick reflexes dodging the stone last time, he might have been blinded in one eye.

Now, he was quite interested to see how many tricks this girl had up her sleeve.

Lin Yuan’s eyes also turned colder, and she clenched her fists, ready to teach these thugs a lesson, when she noticed a thoroughly disguised Lin Yong Le quietly moving behind Wang Tianba to whisper something in his ear.

The ever-smiling Wang Tianba first frowned in displeasure, but after some more whispering from Lin Yong Le, he finally broke into a grin, eyeing the mooncakes on the stand while licking his lips as if salivating.

“Haha, you sure are a sly one.

That’s right.

Girl, I’ve heard these mooncakes of yours are particularly expensive and selling well; you must have made a pretty penny, right?

Come on, come on, come on, I’m not going to ask you to accompany me today.

Just hand over the protection money quickly, so I can take my brothers to Chunfeng Building for some fun!”

So Lin Yong Le was after her silver!

“Big brother, you seem to know that my mooncakes are quite expensive, so not many folks buy them.

Look, I’ve got so many left even after being here all morning.

If you don’t mind, how about I pack some mooncakes for you to try?

As for the protection money, let’s just say you’ll forgive the folly of this country girl and not hold it against me, okay?” Lin Yuan giggled, bending down and actually started packing mooncakes as if they hadn’t sold all morning.
