While they were eating happily, the two of them heard a commotion coming from outside.
Li Kan looked outside and sighed."
"It's those local ruffians again. They've already returned, yet they still dare to collect protection fees.”
Huo Qixuan gulped down the fried rice noodles in one gulp and turned to look at the arrogant and domineering young and dangerous people outside.
These gangsters roared and made a ruckus. Their mouths were dirty, and their eyes were fierce as they threatened the shop owner.
The shop owner looked at this group of gangsters with a bitter expression. He knew that this was illegal extortion, but there was nothing he could do. If he did not pay, his business might be threatened by violence or even forced to close down.
The surrounding pedestrians all cast wary and fearful gazes, trying their best to take a detour, afraid of being involved in this dark force. The atmosphere in the shop became tense and oppressive, shrouded by a dark cloud.
Such situations were common in Hong Kong.
As long as they went to a restaurant or a shop with good business, there was a high chance that they would be targeted by the gangsters, making the merchants suffer.
"Qixuan, do you think the government can get rid of these social tumors after the return?”Li Kan couldn't help but ask this question when he saw the arrogant laughter of the young and dangerous people and the scene of the shop owner crying and paying.
They had seen this situation many times.
In the past, the two of them had turned a blind eye to these situations.
It wasn't that he didn't want to care, but that he was powerless.
These gangsters were not simple triads. They had organizations and territories. The money they extorted every year was even given to the people above them, and the people above them were given to the people above them.
The people of Hong Kong lived without dignity under the oppression of the underworld.
"It's only a matter of time before we get rid of these tumors. But are you going to stand by and do nothing now?”Huo Qixuan said. Under Li Kan's surprised gaze, he stood up and walked out.
Not long after, the screams of the gangsters came from outside.
When Li Kan rushed outside, there were young and dangerous people lying on the ground.
There were people with broken bones, wailing in pain, some with swollen faces, some vomiting blood and falling to the ground.
Huo Qixuan sat at a stall at the side, his face full of disapproval.
"Aren't you afraid that they will come looking for trouble?”Li Kan seemed to have predicted this situation.
He also knew that Huo Qixuan knew martial arts.
The two of them had once sparred in the gymnasium, and Li Kan was beaten by Huo Qixuan until he had no strength to fight back.
This guy's stamina was more than enough to participate in the decathlon.
Coupled with those fierce martial arts moves, these local ruffians were simply not enough.
Huo Qixuan took a sip of tea and said casually,
"Aren't I waiting for them to come looking for trouble now?”
Li Kan didn't say much and just sat down with Huo Qixuan. The people passing by kept pointing and making a detour.
The shop owner thought that Huo Qixuan and Huo Yunshen were also in the underworld, so he took the protection fee that he was prepared to give them and walked in front of them.
"Two heroes, please be kind. All the money is here. Please be magnanimous and let me go.”The shop owner's tone was very humble.
In his opinion, these two young men should be thugs from some hall and were not people he could provoke.
"You see, I clearly helped him deal with these local ruffians, but he thought that I was also collecting protection fees.”Huo Qixuan said to Li Kan, then looked at the shop owner and said,
"I won't take your money. Go do your business and don't worry about this place.”
Who knew that when the shop owner heard this, he became even more terrified and knelt on the ground with a thud,"
"Two masters, I beg you to be merciful. It's not that I don't want to pay, but I beg you to let my family go.”
Huo Qixuan looked at the shop owner and felt a little sad.
These people had been oppressed by the underworld for decades and had a clear understanding of the underworld.
It's fine if you take the money. They'll be at ease.
If they didn't accept it, they would feel that they were in trouble.
This was the deterrence brought by the cruel revenge of the underworld.
"Boss, open your eyes and take a good look. Do the two of us look like gangsters?”Li Kan was a little unhappy.
He and Huo Qixuan were both refined people, and they didn't have any messy tattoos on their bodies.
Why did this guy think that he was a gangster?
It was really baffling.
The boss's expression was bitter, but he was cursing in his heart.
F * ck, you guys are so skilled and so ruthless. If you're not from the underworld, then what are you?
Didn't you see that those gangsters were beaten so badly that they couldn't even get up?
The boss did not dare to say this and could only agree,
"Yes, yes, yes. You two are not gangsters. Take this money as my filial piety to you.”
"Who wants your money?”Li Kan was impatient.
The boss started crying again, begging them to let his family go.
Just as the two of them were speechless, a large group of people surged over from not far away.
When he saw this group of people, the boss disappeared at lightning speed and quickly closed the door. The whole process was done in one go without any hesitation.
The surrounding shops also closed their stalls, closed their doors and windows, and quickly hid in their homes.
For a moment, the originally lively food street was left with a group of fiendish guys and two fair and tender young men.
