At this point, the conflict between the two sides had reached a stalemate. The butcher could no longer say anything, because he had never studied anything and his knowledge was so shallow that he was practically illiterate.

He was stunned by what the thugs said, and couldn't find a good reason to refute them. However, he knew he couldn't let these thugs force the old farmer to set an example for them to do things seriously, so he gritted his teeth and stopped them.

"No matter what, you can't force these 22 elderly people to do things for you. You should know that they are old, and you are forcing them to set an example for you. Your intentions are despicable!"

These thugs were not happy with what the butcher said, and then spoke frankly and honestly to the butcher.

“We are not happy with this way of speaking. If we follow your logic, we should be the weaker party. Your words are a complete form of moral blackmail. We did not force this old man to do anything. And if he really doesn’t want to do it, then so be it. We will not force him to do anything. But we can take a step back, but he must apologize to us.”

So unless this old man apologizes to us today, we won't do anything for you. We'll just have to stay here and see what happens!

The thug's words were actually something everyone had planned beforehand. They had been doing this for years and were tired of working, so they used this excuse. If the old man didn't apologize, they could escape this ordeal and not have to work all day, which would be great for them.

The butcher was at a loss for words after hearing their remarks. He felt that refuting them would make him feel like he was being bullied. The butcher sensed their feelings and didn't know what to say. Meanwhile, the thugs, seeing the butcher at a loss for words, became even more aggressive and launched another attack on him.

“I didn’t force this old man to do anything. Everyone has seen that. Since you think we forced him to do something, let’s ask this old man if we forced him to do anything. We just want him to give a demonstration. He doesn’t have to do it. Let’s ask this old man now if he is willing to give us a demonstration. If he is not willing, he can just shake his head!”

The old man was bewildered by these thugs, but when they finally said that he only needed to shake his head and wouldn't have to demonstrate the 3-2-3 sequence, he naturally knew he was too old to demonstrate, so he shook his head.

Seeing the old man shake his head, they had already achieved their goal, so one of the thugs continued, following the old man's choice.

"Since that's the case, and you're unwilling to set an example for us, then you should apologize to me right now. Moreover, to show your sincerity, in addition to apologizing, you must return the liters to us. Only in this way can you demonstrate your sincerity!"

Chapter 881 Escape

These thugs were really pushing their luck with the old man's demands. So, according to their plan, they figured that the old farmer, being so old, was definitely unwilling to apologize and bow to them, who were only in their twenties. This would also allow them to achieve their goal: if he didn't apologize, they wouldn't do anything and could escape for the day.

That was their ultimate goal, so when he said that, all the thugs thought the old farmer wouldn't listen. They wouldn't force him now, but would only let him struggle with the situation. If they forced him, the old man might actually apologize, so they didn't want to actually be robbed.

Then they had to get back to work, so after saying that, all the thugs sat down and fell silent, not saying a word. The butcher next to them was getting impatient, and he said something.

"You guys are absolutely awful!"

However, what the butcher said was exactly what the other elderly men and women wanted to say. If they had just kept quiet to themselves, these thugs would have simply ignored him. Some even closed their eyes and didn't listen to him at all. They just sat there, secretly laughing to themselves that they were just trying to stall until they sold out of vegetables and then they wouldn't have to work anymore.

So just as these thugs were secretly chuckling to themselves, they saw a familiar voice appear behind them.

"It's really laughable. You want to force this old man to apologize to you, but instead of forcing him, you're putting him in a struggle, causing him pain."

And by not pressuring him, you've put him in a position of importance right now. He doesn't know if he'll apologize, so you can take this opportunity to slack off and not do anything today. That's probably your ultimate goal in forcing this old man to apologize to you today!

But after he said that, everyone's expression changed drastically. They hadn't expected Qin Wu to see through their intentions so easily, which made all the thugs tremble with fear.

If Qin Wu were to say those words and they were to admit it, they would definitely become the target of public criticism. Therefore, they absolutely refused to admit it. They couldn't let all the children corrupt them. After glancing at them, they nodded and said in unison.

"I won't admit what we did just because of what you said. After all, that's just wishful thinking on your part. How could we stop doing things just because this old man didn't apologize? We did our work very seriously."

"It's because this old man (okay, okay) directly said we weren't doing anything, that's why we're in this situation. We didn't intentionally or proactively refuse to do anything. So, as soon as this old man apologizes, we'll get to work immediately!"

When the thug revived and denied his ultimate goal, Qin Wu remained indifferent, showing disdain for their words. He then grabbed one of the thugs and brought him in front of him.

Chapter 882 A Scare

He didn't actually use much force; he just wanted to scare him, so he simply pulled the object in front of him and roared at him loudly.

"I don't care what your reasons are, but now everyone sees that you are indeed being cheated and dishonest. But if you hadn't done this, the old man wouldn't have said that you were cheating and dishonest."

So the only way to resolve this is for you to do the work again, and now let everyone see you do it the same way as before. If you finish, we'll find other people to continue the work, and then we'll compare the results!

This is the best solution Qin Wu came up with: by comparing the results, it becomes much clearer whether these hooligans are cheating or not. Since they would expect others to work diligently, if these kids continue to cheat, their tasks will definitely fall short of those of others.

That's why even small-time thugs felt uneasy when they heard this. They knew perfectly well that they were slacking off. So if someone really came up to compare them, they could see how much each of them had actually done when they worked together. They could also see how much each of them had done after working together for a while.

That's why, at this moment, Qin Wu thought this was the best way to deal with these petty thugs who were cheating and tricking him, and to force the old man to apologize to them.

So at this point, not counting these petty thugs and mythical beasts, they really hadn't thought of any better way. They had previously thought their plan was foolproof, and that even if Qin Wu came, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. But they never expected that Qin Wu would find a way to break it by abstaining from the game, and Uncle Radiation and the others really had to admit it.

If what Qin Wu said is true, and they find someone to work with them, then they will definitely see the difference; with comparison, there will be a noticeable difference.

So at this moment, these thugs began to think about the next question: should they take a step back? Taking a step back meant continuing to do their thing, but they wouldn't admit their mistakes, because everyone knew it. But by taking a step back, they meant that the old man wouldn't have to apologize to them; at most, they would just apologize for their past actions.

So they'll admit to them that their attitude was bad, but they'll never admit that the old man said they weren't doing their jobs properly. They'll never admit that.

When everyone knew the truth, Qin Wu saw the determination in their eyes, and then he took over, quietly waiting for their decision.

So, after everyone had been whispering among themselves, one of these people came to a conclusion and then stood up to address the old man and Qin Wu.

"Since that's the case, and it was all a misunderstanding before, and we were indeed a bit in the wrong in our attitude, we shouldn't have forced him to apologize to us, how about we both take a step back? We can continue doing our work, and this old man doesn't need to apologize to us!"

Chapter 883 Seeking Justice

After he finished speaking, Qin Wu calmly watched the scene. After receiving confirmation from the old man, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the old man would not agree, after all, the old man was indeed a victim.

He's suffered a loss he can't speak of. Qin Wu wants to seek justice for him, but there's really no better way right now. Even if he waits, he can find someone to compare them later, and then these thugs can speed things up.

It will definitely be difficult to find the best way to solve this vague problem at that time, so the current situation is the best we can do. As long as the old man agrees, everything will be fine.

The old man was naturally overjoyed, because he had been in great pain before and never expected that he would have to apologize to the thugs all by himself. Now that he didn't have to apologize, he was extremely happy and didn't have to bow to these thugs.

Otherwise, he would feel really bad apologizing to them when he was in his fifties or sixties. So now he told them not to apologize, otherwise both sides would be relieved.

After both sides felt relieved, all the little animals, although they had each taken a step back and calmed things down, had not actually achieved their goal. They had only delayed things for half an hour and hadn't had to do anything.

Now that they have to continue working, they can't help but feel disheartened. They never expected that today, when they were so confident that they wouldn't have to do anything this morning, Qin Wu had easily cracked the code. Now they have no choice but to work diligently again. Moreover, because of their previous laziness, their "ugly friend" has arrived, so they have to speed up their work again.

As they sped up, Qin Wu glared at them menacingly. He had no good feelings towards these thugs who dared to bully the elderly vegetable vendors.

If these thugs continue to cheat or try anything funny, Qin Wu will no longer deal with them the way he did before. Instead, he will take drastic measures to teach them a lesson.

·· ··Requesting flowers·· ·-··

So when the small group saw the anger flashing in Qin Wu's eyes, they immediately cowered and began to work seriously. At the same time, they wondered if they would be beaten up by Qin Wu if they made any mistakes.

... .. ...

As the thugs finished forcing the elderly men and women to apologize, Qin Wu watched the scene unfold before him. With the last days of tomorrow upon them, they had finished their business, and now they could finally pay back all the protection money they had collected.

So this morning, after all the children had finished their tasks, Qin Wu specifically sought them out and began a conversation with them.

"Tomorrow you'll have finished your last day's work. I hope that from now on, you'll behave yourselves without my supervision!" (again)
