Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Retribution (1 more update)

Ruffian’s entourage brought devastating force, and within moments, all the clothes in the shopkeeper’s store had been knocked to the ground.

They even trampled on them, dirtying the clothes severely.

Onlookers from the surrounding shops saw what happened but didn’t dare to gather around, mainly because Ruffian and his men seemed like bad news.

No one wanted to invite trouble.

There were a few who did speak up, though.

However, as soon as these people spoke, they were frightened off by the words of Ruffian and his crew.

Ruffian remembered Xu Niannian’s words, and while stepping on the clothes, he spoke to the shopkeeper.

"Ah, boss, I’m really very sorry. My brothers are a bit clumsy. We didn’t expect that just a slight touch would accidentally knock your clothes to the floor."

"We’re not the type to bully people with our power. You just look at how much these clothes are worth, and we’re willing to pay for them."

Ruffian had already said this more than once today, but the shopkeeper didn’t dare to actually ask them to pay.

It was clear these men were not good people, and despite their seemingly righteous words on the surface, calling the police would be useless.

Because they were willing to pay, she couldn’t even consider calling the police.

The shopkeeper knew they were threatening her. If she actually dared to accept their money, she would undoubtedly face retribution.

The shopkeeper was holding back, driven more by fear.

Fearful that these men would not only harm her shop but also do something to her.

The shopkeeper, trembling with fear, stood by the counter, wishing she could hide inside it.

These men had been here all day without any sign of leaving.

With nightfall approaching, the shopkeeper was scared to death.

As a woman facing a bunch of ruffians and hooligans, how could she not be afraid?

But now, asking them to leave was even more frightening to her.

Who knew if a single wrong word could provoke them?

The shopkeeper finally understood what that girl meant the other day.

If things went on like this, forget a week—she wanted to close the shop and leave immediately the next day, to get as far away from these Demons as possible.

Compared to money, nothing was more important than her life.

The shopkeeper now regretted everything, all because of the trouble caused by one dress.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have been greedy for that little bit of money and just returned that dress to Black Girl.

In hindsight, it was Black Girl’s fault for being ignorant.

If she hadn’t insisted on fighting over it, the dress wouldn’t have been torn, nor would she have fallen.

It all came back to her own fault. But how could she know that Black Girl had a capable Older Sister?

The shopkeeper was fuming with frustration.

While the shopkeeper was deep in regret, suddenly, a chilling voice sounded overhead: "Hey, boss, I’m talking to you. What, do you look down on us? Do you think we can’t afford to pay for this?"

When Ruffian spoke, he emitted a ruthless vibe, causing the shopkeeper to shudder in fear, with a mournful expression on her face.

"Big, big, big brother, please have mercy, let me go," she pleaded.

"Who is your ’big brother,’" Ruffian said impatiently.

The shopkeeper shuddered even more after being yelled at, "You tell that young aunt, it’s my fault, I will go apologize to her, okay? Please let me go. My business is not easy. Please have mercy and spare my small shop, okay?"

Due to fear, the shopkeeper’s words were completely jumbled...

It wasn’t clear if she was pleading with Xu Niannian to spare her or begging Ruffian to do so, or perhaps both.

Ruffian scoffed disdainfully: "What young girl? Boss, what you’re saying isn’t right."

He sneered: "We came here to buy clothes, we patronize your business, so how has that become ’sparing you’? Have we done anything to you?"

He turned around and said to the brothers he had brought with him: "Hey, guys, did the shopkeeper ask us to let her go?"

The shopkeeper thought Ruffian was actually considering letting her off and nodded earnestly: "Respected brothers, I beg you."

One of the men laughed: "I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. What have we done to you?"

The man speaking had a scar on his face, looking even more ferocious than Ruffian.

He spread his hands: "We didn’t do anything. We just accidentally touched your clothes. See, we’re willing to pay for them. How could you say we should let you go? We haven’t bullied you."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knew this issue wouldn’t be resolved easily.

The young aunt must have paid these big men to ruin her business.

After thinking, the shopkeeper bit her lip and said: "Sirs, how much did the young aunt pay you? I’ll pay double that amount, please, just let me off the hook, okay?"

With that, the shopkeeper immediately took out keys to open the drawer and grabbed the money inside.

Indeed, seeing the stack of bills, Ruffian and his crew were indeed tempted, but they dared not take it.

Unless they wanted to be beaten to death by those two women.

Thinking about how viciously those two women hit, Ruffian felt a tingle on his scalp and roared displeasedly, "Did I ask you for money?"

The landlady was so frightened that she started crying.

After a few hours of deadlock, Ruffian finally left with his people.

It was already past ten in the evening by then.

Even though Ruffian had left, the landlady didn’t dare to go out and hurriedly closed the door to the shop.

If she ran out at this time, who knows what might happen.

With no other choice, the landlady had to make do inside the shop.

Then, on the second and third days, these people came every day.

All the clothes in the shop were so damaged they couldn’t be sold anymore, so the landlady finally made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and closed the shop.

She just wanted to take the money and find a new place to start a shop.

As long as the green hills are there, one need not fear running out of firewood.

On the day she packed up and left, the landlady ground her teeth and said, "Those two little hussies."

Xu Niannian and Hu Yue, who were hiding in the shadows, heard her words loud and clear.

Xu Niannian smiled at Hu Yue, "You know what to do, right?"

As the beauty smiled, Hu Yue furrowed her brow. Was she being asked to do something bad?

Although she didn’t want to, for money’s sake, she would kneel and lick if she was asked to, not just bend the knee.

Hu Yue quickly followed suit.

Meanwhile, Xu Niannian went alone to that alley they had been in that day, where Ruffian and his people were already waiting.

Seeing Xu Niannian arrive, the group instinctively straightened up.

"Young, Young Aunt, do you have any other orders?"

Xu Niannian smiled graciously, "Of course, I do."

At her smile, Ruffian and his brothers instinctively swallowed.

Xu Niannian’s gaze grew colder as she tossed a bag of cash at Ruffian’s feet.

"This is your hardship fee. You’ll help me continue to watch that woman, see where she opens a shop in the next month. If she really starts a shop again, just do what I’ve told you before, but you’re not allowed to hurt anyone, got it?"

Scanned by Xu Niannian’s cold eyes, Ruffian instantly felt a pain on his scalp, recalling the image of being slammed against the wall by Xu Niannian while she held on to his few strands of hair.

Frightened, Ruffian quickly protected his head: "Know, know, got it."

Xu Niannian "hmm" lightly, "If I find out you haven’t done as I said, or done something extra that implicates me, you know the consequenses."

"Got it, got it." Ruffian almost knelt down.

After being cleaned up by this woman and another one, these seven or eight big men were obedient and didn’t dare go against her wishes anymore.

To people like Ruffian, being nice was useless; the only thing that made them fearful was a fist.

After instructing Ruffian, Xu Niannian finally returned to the hotel, where Hu Yue was already waiting for her at the hotel entrance.

"How did it go?" Xu Niannian asked.

Hu Yue nodded, "Don’t worry, for money, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied. That woman’s face, I smashed it with a rock."

Smashed with a rock...

So crude.

But, she liked it.

Actually, she had only planned to make the landlady’s shop close down.

She never thought that the landlady would be completely unaware of her own wrongdoing, even going so far as to curse them.

Hah...

If that was the case, she was not to blame.

"Let’s go, Sisi should be waking up."

Hu Yue nodded.

Elsewhere, Zuo Qing and the butler were leading people to that street where they had run into Xu Niannian to make inquiries.

To see if anyone around had seen a very pretty girl.

Upon asking, indeed many had noticed her, after all, with Xu Niannian’s looks, one sighting was enough for few to ignore.

But the result was disappointing.
