Because she had been through so many things, Luo Bing stopped moving forward. She knew her own weight and knew that standing up might not have any effect. It would be better not to add to the chaos. Her family had already been badly affected, and she didn't want to suffer more harm.

Luo Bing had suffered too many setbacks and was forced to not meddle in other people's business. However, Feng Sizhe in the private room did not understand the mystery. Hearing a noisy noise coming from the hall, he put down his chopsticks and said to Li Shuang beside him, "What's going on? Let's go out and take a look."

"Okay, boss." Li Shuang nodded. He always carried out Feng Sizhe's orders to the letter.

Li Shuang opened the door, and Feng Sizhe, dressed in coffee-colored casual clothes, walked out of the private room. He went straight to the lobby and saw the so-called Fifth Brother who was showing off his power to the restaurant owner Fatty Zhang.

At this time, Fifth Brother was sitting on a chair, crossing his legs in a rogue manner, staring at Fatty Zhang standing in front of him with a pair of big eyes, as if he was in control of the whole situation.

"Fatty Zhang, you're right. We are indeed from the same village. That's why I don't intend to do anything to you. As long as you pay the money honestly, I promise not to mess with you. I won't even take care of your business all the time and let those big restaurants often order your dishes. Of course, if you don't know how to behave and insist on letting your fifth brother do it, then I'm sorry, I can only do my job impartially, smash your place, and make you have no place to stay in Qiu County forever. Do you believe it or not?"

"Fifth brother, I've been very obedient. You said I had to pay taxes every month, so I paid them. You didn't let me open a restaurant, so I put up with it. But you can't let the horse run without giving it grass to eat. You come to ask for money, so I have to have some. If you keep asking for money every other day, the bank will be bankrupted by you." Fatty Zhang really put up with them for too long. He originally thought that if he worked harder, he would accept it as long as he could live a richer life. He even accepted that he would work hard for a year and let others take the majority, and he would accept the same if he took the minority. But the current situation is that the other party doesn't want him to make money at all. It's completely a behavior that you work hard for them, but you don't give any reward. How can he do such a thing? If even eating becomes a problem, then what's the point of opening this restaurant. So today he made up his mind that he had to argue with Fifth Brother and the others to a conclusion.

Fatty Zhang was not as soft as he thought. He didn't give in immediately after hearing the harsh words, which made Fifth Brother feel that his authority was challenged. "Oh, Fifth Brother, I really didn't realize that you, Fatty Zhang, also have a brave side. What's the matter? From what you said, you don't plan to give me the money today, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to pay, it's just that I have no money to pay. If this continues, my restaurant won't even have money to buy goods, how can I continue to operate?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't want to hear you complain about being poor. I just want to ask you one question: are you going to give me the money today or not?" Fifth Brother glared at Fatty Zhang, as if asking him to make a choice immediately.

"It's not that I don't want to pay, I just don't have money." Fatty Zhang made up his mind this time. He just didn't have money. What can you do about it? If you really don't want me to continue to run the business here, I'll just leave. Anyway, the world is so big, if I can't stay here, there will be other places that will stay.

Fatty Zhang's determination angered Brother Five. He thought that there were so many people watching here. If he couldn't get the money from Fatty Zhang this time, it would be inevitable that other businesses in the county would do the same. If that was the case, who would he go to for money in the future? No, this door must not be opened. After these things flashed through his mind, Brother Five gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Fatty Zhang, don't blame me for being ruthless. You forced me to do this. Come on, brothers, smash this place for me. I want to see if he has money or not."

When the fifth brother called out, the two young men he brought with him immediately responded, then reached out and picked up the stool beside them and smashed it to the ground. In this situation, the sturdy wooden stool immediately broke into two or even several pieces as soon as it touched the ground, and immediately sawdust flowed all over the hotel hall.

The fifth brother started to fight, and the fat man Zhang also got angry. This restaurant was the condition for his survival. If it was destroyed, he really couldn't run the restaurant. Seeing that the other party really didn't want him to live, he had no choice but to make up his mind and took out the kitchen knife in his hand, "Okay, if you don't want me to live well, then I will die with you."

"Master Zhang, you can't do that." Fatty Zhang had just pulled out a kitchen knife and hadn't rushed over yet when a man came up to him, grabbed his arm and stopped his impulsive behavior.

Fatty Zhang was so excited at the moment that he didn't care about anything else. When he saw someone holding his arm, he wanted to struggle immediately. However, after he tried several times, his arm didn't move at all. So he had to turn his head to look. When he looked up, he saw a familiar young face. Who else could this person be but Feng Sizhe?

"Dear diner, please don't block me. Just let me fight with them." When Fatty Zhang saw that it was Feng Sizhe, his tone became much better. Maybe it was Feng Sizhe's appearance and dress that made him feel that this person was not an ordinary person, or maybe it was because when he came here to eat yesterday, Feng Sizhe casually threw a hundred-dollar bill to him without even asking for the change, which made him feel a little in awe. In short, he was still able to suppress his anger and did not say anything disobedient.

"Fighting is not the way to solve the problem. Have you ever thought about it? If you really hurt someone here, what will happen to your second half of life and your family? Is it appropriate to sacrifice your originally wonderful life for such a scum?" Feng Sizhe was preaching to Fatty Zhang while standing in front of him and blocking Fatty Zhang behind him.

After Feng Sizhe said this, the fat man immediately came to his senses. Yes, this is the world of the Fifth Brother and his friends. If he really fights with them, the consequences will be disastrous. Thinking about his lover and his parents' children who are still in school, it is really not worth it to bury his future here because of this matter. Thinking about it, his wrist dropped down involuntarily.

Fatty Zhang had calmed down, but Fifth Brother was still furious.

Just now, Feng Sizhe took action to stop Zhang Pangzi. The fifth brother was originally very happy. As the saying goes, the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the strong ones, but the strong ones are afraid of those who are willing to risk their lives. Seeing that Zhang Pangzi was about to fight him, he was also shocked. It was inevitable that he would make mistakes in such a desperate fight. Fortunately, Feng Sizhe took action in time to block him. He was very happy, but when he heard Feng Sizhe actually said that he and others were scum, and it was inappropriate to sacrifice others in order to fight with him and others, he immediately got angry.

"Hey, let me tell you who you are, kid. You have no right to meddle in other people's business here. Also, who did you just say was a scum? If you have the guts, tell your fifth brother again." The fifth brother pointed at Feng Sizhe's nose and roared angrily. It looked like he wanted to eat Feng Sizhe.

When Li Shuang saw that Fifth Brother dared to point his finger at Feng Sizhe, he immediately got angry and rushed to Feng Sizhe's side in two steps, ready to teach this blind bastard a lesson. But Feng Sizhe saw through his motive and blocked Li Shuang with his hand, "Don't be angry, I'll talk to him about reason first."

After Feng Sizhe said this, Li Shuang would of course stand still. He was angry, but he still had to listen to Feng Sizhe's words.

After scolding Li Shuang, Feng Sizhe smiled at the Fifth Brother and said without any anger, "Fifth Brother, right? I just don't understand. You are here to collect money, not to take lives. Then why do you have to do things so ruthlessly and force Master Zhang to the point of risking his life?"

Seeing that he pointed at someone but Feng Sizhe was not angry or annoyed, the fifth brother thought that he was afraid of him and immediately became bolder. "Hey, it seems that you are not from our Qiu County, right?"

"That's right, I'm not from here, and I've only been in Qiu County for two days." Feng Sizhe answered truthfully. He had indeed been in Qiu County for two days, no! To be exact, he hadn't even been here for two full days.

"Oh, that's no wonder. Since you are a foreigner, I won't ask you any more questions. It's normal that you don't know the rules in Qiu County. But I want to remind you that if you want to fight for justice, you have to consider the place and the occasion. Today, your fifth brother is the boss and you have no right to speak. You just called me a scum. In order to punish you, I was going to give you a good beating, but considering that you are a foreigner, you might as well kneel down and kowtow to me three times and admit your mistake. Then, if I am in a good mood, I might let you go. What do you think?"

The fifth brother didn't mean to spare Feng Sizhe's life. He saw that there were two people on Feng Sizhe's side, and Zhang Pangzi was also three grown men. He was afraid that the two people he brought would not be a match for them, so he said this deliberately. But he didn't want to make them kneel down and kowtow to him three times. How many men could bear this punishment and endure this humiliation?
