Stop giving me bad reviews, or I'll become the richest person in the world!

"Hey, you old codger, you've got some guts now, huh? You're even collecting protection money now?"

"What's even more outrageous is that it's now coming down to my boss. What's wrong? Do you think I've been through a few years of hard labor and can't even lift a knife anymore? Or do you think you're all healthy now and don't need to sell your ass anymore?"

Zhao Dalong spoke with a sneer, and at the same time, his henchmen surrounded him one by one. None of the men Zhao Dalong could bring were easy to deal with. Every single one of them looked fierce and menacing, which almost made Lao Pigu and his men wet themselves.

"Alright, alright, Da Long, stop scaring him. I think he's about to pee. By the way, was this guy your underling before?"

"He's kind of my underling, but we're not particularly close. He usually just does odd jobs next to me. But somehow, after I joined, he started his own business."

As Zhao Dalong spoke, he walked over to Wang Aiguo's side, but instead of sitting down, he stood beside Wang Aiguo, just like Wang Aiguo's bodyguard.

And it was precisely this very arrangement that made Old Butt understand the situation before him even more clearly.

"I'm so sorry, Boss Wang. I'm so sorry, Brother Da Long. I really didn't know you two knew each other, and I didn't know Boss Wang was your boss. I..."

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me, who sent you? What's going on?"

Wang Aiguo was too lazy to listen to the old man's words and directly asked him to explain the situation clearly.

Old Man Pipi didn't waste any words and told the whole story. He learned that there were four or five stalls on the nearby food street that sold cold noodles and hand-pulled pancakes, just like Wang Aiguo's, and they had collectively funded Old Man Pipi to cause trouble.

After the old man finished speaking, Zhao Dalong didn't waste any words and simply waved his hand.

"Everyone, come with me. Boss, you can sit here for now. We'll handle this for you, and then we'll introduce you to my men."

Since Zhao Dalong had said so, Wang Aiguo nodded. He still trusted Zhao Dalong a lot; a small-time hoodlum like Lao Pipi was nothing in front of Zhao Dalong and his group.

Soon, Zhao Dalong grabbed the old man by the collar and led him out of Wang Aiguo's shop.

Once on the street, Zhao Dalong put away his smile and reverted to his usual cold expression, then moved closer to Old Man Pitou.

"You little brat, you're really asking for it! You dare to mess with my boss? I've been in here once already, do you think I'm afraid of going back a second time? Besides, I have so many people here. Do you believe I can make you lie in the hospital for ten years?"

Zhao Dalong's cold voice was full of threat.

Old Buttocks was trembling with fear.

That's how the world is: the soft fear the lazy, the lazy fear the hard, the hard fear the ruthless, and the ruthless fear the reckless.

Zhao Dalong is the kind of person who is tough, ruthless, and reckless. This kind of person is the kind of person who specializes in dealing with scoundrels like Lao Pipi.

Old Butt used to be so arrogant in front of Wang Aiguo, but now he's like a quail.

"Brother Long, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I'll take you to them."

"Um!"

At this moment, Lao Pigu was filled with regret. He had thought that Wang Aiguo had no background and had only come to cause trouble after taking a few thousand yuan from him. He thought that at worst, Wang would be detained for a few days.

But things are different now. Zhao Dalong has made his move, and this guy doesn't hold back when he does. Anyway, he's already been in jail before, so at worst he'll serve another eight years.

But the old man dared not gamble; if he ended up crippled, it would be a lifelong pain.

So without saying a word, Old Man Pipi took Zhao Dalong directly to those merchants. Old Man Pipi was furious. They hadn't investigated anything, just claimed Wang Aiguo had no connections, and tricked him into coming here. These merchants had really ruined him.

Meanwhile, several vendors selling liangpi (cold skin noodles) on the snack street felt that their business was doing very well today, which must be thanks to Lao Pipi.

"Those few thousand dollars were well spent! With that old man gone, their business is definitely doomed!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"That old codger gets things done!"

"Get that liangpi shop down right now! Our business has dropped by more than half since he came. That bastard sells it so cheaply and in such large quantities, he's a complete lunatic."

The bosses were chattering away when Old Pipi arrived with Zhao Dalong and the others. Seeing Old Pipi return, the bosses were all delighted.

They were still thinking of praising Old Buttocks, but when they saw the situation clearly, their expressions changed one by one. At this moment, Zhao Dalong was still holding Old Buttocks by the collar, and Old Buttocks was like a quail, obediently following Zhao Dalong.

Seeing this, the bosses' hearts skipped a beat. They felt that something unexpected must have happened, and sure enough, Zhao Dalong soon brought Lao Pipi to the bosses.

Without further ado, Zhao Dalong waved his hand, and the next moment, his underlings surrounded the stalls, simply standing there without saying a word.

Although they didn't speak, Zhao Dalong's men had just been released, and their fierce and menacing faces would frighten ordinary people, so they all instinctively avoided them.

At this point, the bosses started to panic.

"Hey buddy, what's your name? Old Butt, what's going on?"

Zhao Dalong didn't say anything, he just glanced at them, while Lao Pigu hurriedly went to the bosses and said something.

"You guys really ruined me. Who said he didn't have any connections? This is Brother Long, my former boss. He was just released. You've all seen how many men he has, and they're all released."

"Let me tell you, Brother Long is different from me. Back then, he dominated half the city, and no one could beat him. In the end, he went to jail because he used too much force and seriously injured several people. I really can't afford to mess with those guys."

"Now look what's happened, they're going to stand up for Boss Wang, you'd better pray for yourselves."

Upon hearing Old Butt's words, the stall owners were immediately alarmed, but Old Butt didn't care about them. His mission was accomplished, and he was eager to leave this place of trouble.

So the old man turned around and came to Zhao Dalong.

"Brother Long, I'll be going now!"

"Um."

Zhao Dalong didn't say much, he just nodded slightly and hummed.

But this one shout made the old man feel like he had been granted a pardon, and he hurriedly ran away with his men.

After the old man ran away, Zhao Dalong and his group blocked the way in front of the stalls.

He didn't speak or buy anything; he just stared fiercely at the passersby. The passersby, startled by his gaze, quickly moved away.

"Hello, Brother Long, right? There might be some misunderstanding between us, we actually..."

When Zhao Dalong did this, one of the shop owners couldn't take it anymore. He was counting on this business to support his family, so he immediately came over to Zhao Dalong, wanting to negotiate.

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dalong snorted coldly and said in a low voice.

"Didn't you treat my boss with the same methods? How come you can't handle it now that I'm treating you like this?"
