Chapter 1239: The Fruit Stall Is Smashed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing the young man’s attitude, everyone knew that something was about to happen.
He wasn’t about to give the shopkeeper any money. He seemed to be ready to fight-
“Forget it. It’s just 100 yuan.” The young woman pulled her boyfriend and said,
“Brother Chen runs a taekwondo dojo. If you call him over, it’ll end up costing even more to pay for Brother Chen’s time.”
“It’s not a matter of money,” the young man said.
“I’d rather pay Brother Chen 100,000 yuan than give this guy 100 yuan!”
“Good job, that’s how a Yanjing man should be. He’d rather beat the other guy up than let a foreigner bully him!” The onlookers shouted.
“Everyone, don’t be agitated. I called someone over to reason with him and let him experience the hospitality of the people of Yanjing. We can’t let him have traveled all this way for nothing.”
“Haha, well done!”
The surrounding people followed with the jeers. Even those who had been attracted by Lin Yi’s looks found him extremely unpleasant to the eye at this moment.
It was too outrageous to come here to cheat others!
Even so, the young girl was still a little nervous.
“Are you sure there won’t be any problems? Brother Chen is too heavy-handed. When we were eating last month, he fought with a neighboring table. In the end, he broke their ribs which cost tens of thousands of yuan. If this matter blows up, it won’t be easy to clean up.”
“Didn’t 1 tell you just now? We’ll just pay the compensation if anything happens. 100,000 yuan is no issue, but I definitely won’t give this guy the 100 yuan. I can’t let him take advantage of me. Otherwise, he’ll think that I’m really afraid of him.”
Seeing that her boyfriend was determined to make a move, the young woman could not say anything else and let him be.
Even so, Lin Yi didn’t say anything. He just stood there and fiddled with the fruit stall, not taking the matter seriously.
Within a few minutes, shouts could be heard from beyond the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw more than ten people walking toward them.
All of them were burly and aggressive, scaring the onlookers into quickly making way.
The leader was dressed casually. He was more than 1.90 meters tall and had short hair. Both his arms were covered in tattoos. He led the group straight to Wang Yan.
The man’s name was Chen Li, and he had grown up with Wang Yan.
Because he had studied abroad in South Rania and learned Taekwondo, he opened a Taekwondo dojo when he returned to Huaxia to start his own business. This dojo was set up near Wangfujing Street. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to rush over so quickly.
“Brother Chen, you’re here.”
Chen Li glanced at Lin Yi, “Is he the one who extorted you?”
“That’s right. I tasted his lychee and he demanded 100 yuan from me. Don’t you think that’s a scam?”
“F*ck…” Chen Li smiled at Lin Yi, “Kid, you’re quite interesting. How can you do such a thing? Do you know what kind of place this is?”
“I’ve already told him that fruits cost 3,000 yuan for 5oog. A lychee costs 100 yuan. It’s not like I’m extorting him.”
“I’ve lived for so many years, but I’ve never seen a fruit that sells for 3,000 yuan for 5oog.”
“That’s because you’re ignorant. These fruits are always available in Zhonghai.”
Chen Li’s brows were knitted together and there was a hint of anger on his face.
“What do you mean? Do you think Yanjing is inferior to Zhonghai?”
For a long time, this had been a very sensitive topic. Neither side backed down, and both wanted to firmly suppress the other.
What the foreigner said did not just anger Chen Li, but also the surrounding Yanjing people.
“I’m just telling the truth. I don’t care what you think,” Lin Yi said.
“Didn’t he ask you to bring the money? Cash or QR code?”
“Heh…”
Chen Li put his hands on his waist and laughed.
“Brothers, not only is this kid extorting others, but he also said that Yanjing is inferior to Zhonghai. What do you think we should do about this?”
“Haha…”
The dozen or so people that Chen Li brought over all burst out laughing.
“Brother Chen, they’ve given us the price. If we still don’t pay, we’ll be at fault.”
“There’s nothing wrong with what you said, haha…”
Chen Li walked toward Lin Yi and glanced at the fruits on the stall.
“Is this lychee sold for 3,000 yuan for 5oog?”
“Right.”
Whoosh!
Chen Li did not say anything and kicked the box containing the lychees to the ground.
Even after this, he was not satisfied. The grapes and apples beside him were not spared either as they were all kicked over by him.
Fruits were scattered all over the ground. It would be impossible to sell them again.
Chen Li looked down at Lin Yi and said impudently,
“Are you satisfied with what I’ve done? Do you still care to ask for my money?”
Lin Yi wasn’t angry. Instead, he smiled.
“You’re going too far.”
Chen Li shrugged. “Even if I went overboard, what can you do to me? Tsk, tsk, tsk. You look like you’re not happy. If you’re not happy, you can come and beat me up.”
“Fine.”
“That’s right! You must remember, this is Yanjing. You’ve got to be humble as a dragon and discreet as a tiger. You, an outsider, come here trying to show off without considering your own identity!”
“Haha…”
The surrounding people laughed and pointed at Lin Yi.
“It’s obvious that he bullies the weak and fears the strong. He thinks that that young man is easy to bully, so he asked for an exorbitant price. But now that someone is destroying his fruit stall, he doesn’t even dare to fart. What an infuriating character.”
Wang Yan, who was standing at the side, also laughed.
“Little Ying, did you see that? People like him need to be taught a lesson. It’s obvious that he bullies the weak and fears the strong.”
“To think that 1 thought he was handsome just now and wanted to boost his business. I didn’t expect him to be an idiot.”
“That’s why it’s better to ignore such fickle matters in the future.”
“Got it.”
“Brother Chen, this matter has been settled. Let’s go too. Invite these brothers out tonight. I’ll arrange a table for us to go out for a drink,” Wang Yan said.
“It’s such a small matter. What’s the need for the drink? Just go back to your own matters. We have to go back to the club too.”
“Then i won’t stand on ceremony with you.”
“Why are you being so polite? We’ve known each other for so many years.”
With that, Chen Li called out to the others.
“He’s just a good-for-nothing. Ignore him. Let’s go back and continue training.”
“Sure thing.”
Everyone nodded and turned to leave, but at this moment, Lin Yi’s voice sounded behind them.
“You seem to have misunderstood me.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“It’s not that 1 don’t want to argue with you, but I think your advice is pretty good.”
Chen Li was a little stunned as he looked at Lin Yi coldly.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean my advice is good?”
“Didn’t you ask me to beat you up? i think that’s a good suggestion.”
With that, Lin Yi took a step forward and punched Chen Li’s nose!
■Ah!’
With a scream, Chen Li covered his bloody nose and fell to the ground!
The scene erupted into chaos!
