Chapter 546: Spirit Calm, Grandson of the Dry Branch

返回章节列表
Qin Feng's actions not only left Fang Fang stunned but also amazed the group of loading and unloading workers. In general, when faced with such a situation where someone insists on being treated with seniority, even the most assertive individuals tend to hesitate—after all, the person in question is so old that merely touching him or giving him a gentle nudge would make him resist fiercely! He'd insist on going to the hospital for check-ups, file claims, and demand compensation, never letting up until you're completely worn out. Therefore, when such situations arise, people usually adopt the mindset of "spending money to avoid trouble." The older folks, precisely aware of this psychological tendency, have grown even more unconstrained. The workers exchanged glances, all shaking their heads in unison. One of them, with a touch of regret, remarked, "Well, now the old man is definitely going to get involved with this young man. Honestly, young people just can't stay calm. It seems he's quite wealthy—after all, the wealthier someone is, the more they're likely to be taken advantage of!" "The old man was so痛 that his face had twisted. With his mouth open, leaking air, he shouted, 'They've beaten me! They've killed someone! Come quickly! Don't let the killer escape!' Qin, the young noble, crossed his arms over his chest and smiled, saying, 'Old fellow, stop acting. Don't worry—I won't be leaving. Whether you choose to call the police or have your own people come, it's up to you. By the way, do you have your phone? If not, I'll call for you!' This made the old man feel a bit uncertain, yet knowing how much he had suffered, he firmly believed that whoever had struck him was at fault. He felt he had every right to be justified, so he hesitated, then pulled out his phone—still a modern single-key phone—and said, 'Hello, Xiao Di. I've been attacked. Please rush over with people. It's right here by the side entrance. Hurry!'” Among the onlookers helping with loading and unloading, there was one worker who had been on the job for a long time. Shaking his head, he said to his colleagues, "The grandson of that old man is the very soul of this shoe district—used to frequently bully our local merchants. Though he's toned down a bit in the past two years, he still regularly does things that are truly outrageous. The old man manages to collect parking fees here simply because of that grandson's influence!" He turned around and smiled, saying, "If he wants to play black, we'll play black with him; if he wants to play white, I'll play white with him. Today, I'm going to give this old fellow a real lesson—don't think just because he's old that he can act old and ungracious!" Fang Meiren stood beside him and remarked, "In Pingyu City, it's always been you who've been the one bullying people. I've always wondered, when would someone finally give you a lesson?" Qin Dashi's hands began to grow restless, resting on her firm backside, gently caressing while giving a mischievous smile, "There have been many people who've given me lessons—like you, Mrs. Fang. But after we resolve this current issue, let's go home and get into bed. Then you can give me a proper lesson on the bed!" "Ugh, you're nothing but disheveled!" the beautiful assistant scolded him with a glance. Soon, several minivans and trucks stopped at the alley entrance. A man in his twenties leaped down from the truck, with a neat, square-cut haircut and a particularly striking large copper ring on his right ear. As soon as he arrived, he began shouting, "Who has the nerve to hit my dry-great-uncle? Are they really losing their minds?" Upon seeing his own people arrive, the elderly man, despite his aches, immediately called out, "Di, I'm right here! It's them who've been attacking me!" The newcomer was named Xiao Di. After dropping out of junior high school to pursue a life as a street-level hustler, he had taken advantage of his family's proximity to the shoe district and gathered several others like himself—unemployed, drifting souls—eventually gaining control of the local underworld. In recent years, merchants in the shoe district had frequently been attacked and their shops damaged. While the police had intervened several times, they usually only detained the perpetrators for a few days. Once released, these individuals would then launch even more intense and relentless acts of retaliation. Later on, the merchants were furious but powerless, bowing to the pressure exerted by Xiao Di and his associates. Over the past few years, they had managed to curb their complaints, yet they still had to pay the full monthly interest—renamed as "property management fees." Xiao Di himself operated a stall in the market, and it was said his business was doing well. "Young man, dare to challenge my paternal uncle, you're finished," Xiao Di said, waving his hand. A few bodyguards surrounded the two men. After a quick examination, he remarked, "If you're wise, bring sixty thousand now—this matter will be settled. Otherwise, you won't leave this place intact!" Qin, the young man, coldly replied, "Is that so? I'll see just how you manage to keep me here!" Seeing that the man wouldn't yield without a lesson, Xiao Di was about to issue orders to have him beaten when his phone rang. "Hello, I've got a problem—my paternal uncle has been attacked... What? You know?" Xiao Di glanced straight ahead and continued, "I know. You don't need to worry about this—I'll handle it!" Qin Dashi, being observant, followed Xiao Di's line of sight and spotted Mei Juan hidden behind the entrance of a shop. It was obvious that Mei Juan had known from the very beginning about the conflict between them and the old man. As a friend of Fang Fang, she had not shown up at all, and had even secretly called Xiao Di. Though the exact contents of their conversation over the phone remained unknown, it was clear that she had chosen to accept Xiao Di's current approach and simply wanted to keep herself out of the situation. Qin Feng waited patiently until Xiao Di finished the call before speaking, "Hey, that guy who's demanding sixty thousand—what exactly do you want? My time is precious; I can't afford to waste it!" "Wow, quite bold of you!" Xiao Di glanced at the Jeep parked by the roadside and chuckled, "No wonder! Rich people! If you're so rich, you should know that when someone hits you, you have to compensate!" Qin, the young gentleman, shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. I often hit people, yet it's always the ones I hit who apologize and pay compensation. Try it yourself!" Xiao Di was furious, "You really treat yourself like a dish! I've been working in this shoe city for so long, and this is the first time I've encountered someone so arrogant. Brothers, loosen up his bones—just remember to be gentle with the ladies, since there are some girls here!" The several underlings grinned grimly, "Don't worry, Di-gong. We'll take care of the men—your job will be to handle the ladies!"
