Chapter 7

After the table was filled with all kinds of seafood, the lady boss still gave her a change of sixty dollars. Compared to the disdainful attitude from before, she was much more polite.

Song Ye casually stuffed the sixty dollars back into her pocket and did not care much about the stall’s unscrupulous behavior. Right now, she was just reminiscing about how cheap the food was; if it was fifteen years later, every single dish would be ten times more expensive.

Ignoring the shocked and envious gazes from her surroundings, Song Ye attacked left and right, moving her chopsticks wildly and quickly on the table. From the start till the end, she moved systematically; it gave people an elegant feeling.

No matter which decade they were in, being outstanding would always garner attention. Pulling out the old man’s head straight up and eating the five dishes of seafood alone had long gathered judging stares from the crowd.

A few ruffians walked into the stall. Once they opened their mouth, it was filled with curses. “F*ck, did you not see my boss here? You don’t want to come out to greet us… are you not giving my boss face?”

While he was talking, the ruffian kicked a customer’s chair nearby, but the person fell to the floor and did not dare make a sound.

The lady boss had long hidden behind the countertop as she was afraid they would cause trouble. Then, she came out with a bitter laugh, bowing to them in apology. “Aiyo, Brother Dagger, I was just busy at the back so I didn’t see you. Come, don’t be angry. I just paid my protection fee a few days ago; why would you come today…?”

She did not finish her sentence, but everyone knew what was going on.

At this day and age, the safety was close to non-existent as every town had local ruffians and gangs coming out to collect protection fees. They claimed that they would protect the businesses and ensure that they would not be disturbed. However, in reality, they were trying to make a name for themselves and were snatching territories.

Just nice, Lin Jiang was under their control.

When they saw the lady boss bowing and bending her knee, the ruffians burst out into laughter as Dagger waved his hand and was in a good mood. “I remember that I took the money. This Sir came to eat food today. Don’t need to pay me any attention.”

“Uh, sigh…” The lady boss was taken aback and then sighed when she thought that they would cheat her of her money again.

However, when they finished talking, they did not order any food but sashayed over to the corner table. The spectators’ line of sight followed them and saw Song Ye who was eating her feast, feeling a little worried about this poor girl there.

However, when faced with bad people, no one dared to stand up for her.

Piak! Song Ye felt the table shake, and a few figures sat opposite her. Without looking up, she knew who they were.

Normally, when girls meet ruffians, they would cry and beg for mercy. The slamming of the table had also made the entire crowd hush. However, after waiting for a long time, Dagger realized that the ordinary girl in front continued eating her food and even had an expression of enjoyment on her face.

When they did not get the response they expected, the people opposite her were a little awkward. Dagger grinned. “Little girl, you have some guts. Come play with Brother later.” After he was done, he still whistled at Song Ye in a way he assumed was very manly. Then, he and the other people left with much laughter.

At this time, all the young girls in the shop had already stood up and left together, petrified that they would become the next target.

However, Song Ye was still sitting there calmly and eating slowly, with no anxiety at all… as if she was separated from the rest of the world.

“Boss, is this woman deaf?” This time, even the ruffian beside him was bummed. It was their first time being completely ignored after they scared her.

Dagger raised his eyebrows. “No matter if she’s deaf or blind, she needs to follow me obediently today.” After he was done talking, Dagger stood up and extended his hand to grab Song Ye opposite him.

Before the fingers touched him, Song Ye moved her body and directly hid from his attack. At the same time, she raised her hand and threw the chopsticks towards Dagger.

Dagger felt the pain and immediately retracted his hand to holler. “Hey! B*tch, who do…?”

“If you want me to play with you, wait until I’m done eating.” Before he could finish, the young girl opposite him opened her mouth. Her voice was cold and clear like a cold breeze that blew across Dagger’s heart, sending a chill down his spine.

Dagger felt a pang in his heart, but after some thinking, what could a fifteen-year-old girl do? She was probably just pretending to be strong.

When he thought of the face he lost previously, he slammed the table and stopped you. “B*tch, I gave you face, but you didn’t want it. If I ask you to leave, then jolly well do it. If not, I’ll scratch your face.”

When Song Ye heard this, she looked up and saw the pocket knife in the other party’s hand. Her gaze darkened and stood up obediently before wiping her mouth and walking out of the stall.

“Hmph, what f*ck are you acting? I’ll teach you a lesson.” After getting back his face, Dagger sneered and raised his leg to leave.

Just now, he saw this young girl take out a hundred dollars straight away. In this age where working in a factory would only get them a few hundred dollars a month, this young girl immediately gained their attention. After loitering for about ten minutes, they confirmed that the girl did not have any partners before going up to her.

As the gang left, the lady boss patted her chest and was still traumatized. When she thought about the girl being surrounded by the ruffians, she sighed deeply.

Sigh, this lady was doomed.

Song Ye, who took the initiative to cooperate with the robbery, followed the ruffians to a small village house deep in the alley. Once she stepped into the narrow door—ka! The door was closed.

Song Ye looked at the humble house under the dim light and accidentally found an unconscious man filled with blood at the corner.

“Haha, how is it? Are you satisfied with our place?” Dagger turned around and looked at the weird girl. However, when he thought of the quiet atmosphere, he stared at Song Ye’s figure and was getting a bit horny. “Take out your money and let us search you.”

Search her? Song Ye did not expect that they would have evil intentions on a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl. When she thought that her meal was disturbed previously, she casually took out the sixty dollars from her pocket and pressed her lips tightly together. She said lightly, “if you have what it takes, come take it from me.”

Perhaps her cold gaze was a bit too terrifying; at the moment, the few men did not dare to move even when they saw the sixty dollars.

In the end, Dagger still spat at her. “What are you pretending at? Hand it over!”

Just as he finished talking, he suddenly went towards the money. However, he grabbed nothing. His wrist was held by a small hand, and the cold feeling made his hair stand. At this shocking moment, the girl twisted his wrist. Kacha! Dagger’s wrist was twisted in a weird shape, just like a toy.

“Ah!”

His painful scream broke through the roof and resounded in the entire house.
