“We don’t want to cause trouble. We just want to buy some tools.” Ye Feng was speechless.
He didn’t expect the shop owner to be so alert and quickly report this matter to the Three Phoenix Society.
However, he had asked Yu Fengsheng to do this. He did not know whether to cry or laugh.
“Young man, why don’t you listen to my advice? Listen to others and eat your fill. Take advantage of the fact that the people from the Three Phoenix Society haven’t arrived yet and leave with your girlfriend. It’s best to leave Jiangzuo immediately. Don’t cause trouble at a time like this.” The boss looked like a kind person at first glance. He really did not want to see these two young people go astray.
“No, Boss, let me explain…”
Ye Feng wanted to say something, but the boss pushed him out, he did not have the chance to explain.
Just as the two sides were pushing and shoving, a few people suddenly opened the door and walked in.
One of them shouted at the top of his lungs as soon as he entered the door, “Old Ma, where are the two ignorant thieves you mentioned?”
The owner’s expression changed, and he hurriedly shielded Ye Feng and his companion. He smiled. “Brother Qiang, those two people… They’ve already left.”
“Left? Why didn’t you stop them? You made us brothers come here for nothing.” That person was instantly displeased.
“I tried, but I couldn’t.” The boss continued to lie.
That person cursed and was about to leave with his men.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed the two people behind the boss. “Who are these two?”
“They… They’re here to buy sockets.” The boss suddenly became a little nervous and couldn’t even speak properly.
His flustered look aroused the person’s suspicion even more, and he immediately walked over.
The boss swallowed hard and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “Brother Qiang, give me some face. They…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng had already walked out from behind him. “Brother Qiang, what a coincidence that we meet here.”
He could tell that the man who spoke was the top battle general of the Three Phoenix Society, Lai Zhiqiang.
Yu Fengsheng actually sent her number one general to personally take charge of this matter. It could be seen that she really took his words as an imperial edict.
The moment Lai Zhiqiang saw Ye Feng, he shivered. “Ye… Mr. Ye? Why are you here?”
Ye Feng had a faint smile on his face. “I’m here to buy some tools.”
Lai Zhiqiang was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. He turned to look at the boss. “The two thieves you mentioned just now, are you talking about Mr. Ye?”
The boss was dumbfounded. “Brother Qiang knows this little brother?”
Lai Zhiqiang came up and kicked him in the butt. “Nonsense, Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest of our Three Phoenix Society. Even our president respects him very much. Don’t you think I know him? You old thing, you even dare to report Mr. Ye? Are you tired of living?”
The shop owner was even more dumbfounded.
He was trying his best to protect Ye Feng for the sake of the thousand yuan he just got.
He didn’t expect that the other party’s identity was so powerful that even President Yu respected him very much.
From the looks of it, he had really done something unnecessary.
Ye Feng walked over and pushed Lai Zhiqiang away. “Who are you trying to scare? It was my order for you to keep an eye on Jiangzuo. I think Boss did a good job. He shouldn’t be criticized. Instead, he should be rewarded.”
When Lai Zhiqiang faced Ye Feng, he put on a different expression, nodding repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. We will definitely reward him well.”
Then, he turned to look at the boss. “Did you hear that? Mr. Ye asked us to reward you. Hurry up and thank Mr. Ye.”
Only then did the boss react, he hurriedly bowed to Ye Feng. “Thank you, Mr. Ye, thank you, Mr. Ye.”
At the same time, he was secretly shocked.
It turned out that it was Mr. Ye who ordered them to monitor the tomb-raiding circle.
To be able to make the people of the Three Phoenix Society pay so much attention to him, what exactly was the background of this Mr. Ye?
Lai Zhiqiang was like a worm in his stomach. He patted his shoulder heavily. “Didn’t you ask me about that mysterious person yesterday? Now that You-Know-Who is standing right in front of you, you should know, right?”
The boss looked at him several times. “In front of me? Could it be…”
Lai Zhiqiang rolled his eyes. “Why are you looking at me? Do I look like You-Know-Who to you?”
The boss finally understood and looked at Ye Feng in disbelief. “You… Are you that mysterious person?”
“Don’t I look like him?” Ye Feng saw his expression and could not help but laugh.
“No, you don’t.” The boss laughed awkwardly, but he immediately realized that he had said something wrong and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “It’s mainly because you’re too young. You’re about the same age as my son…”
Before he could finish, Lai Zhiqiang kicked his butt again. “Do you know how to talk? Are you deliberately taking advantage of Mr. Ye?”
The boss immediately had a long face. “I… I was too excited to see You-Know-Who, so I spoke without thinking.”
Lai Zhiqiang was speechless when he saw how embarrassed he was. “Have you prepared the tools that Mr. Ye wanted?”
“They’re ready. I’ll go get them now.” Only then did the shop owner remember what he had to do. He turned around and entered the back hall.
“I want the best. If you dare to use inferior products to fool Mr. Ye, I’ll smash your shop.”
Lai Zhiqiang shouted at the boss and then smiled at Ye Feng. “Mr. Ye, are you free this afternoon? I want to treat you to a meal.”
“I’m not free.” Ye Feng did not waste any time, he just said a few words to reject him.
“Yes, yes, yes. I know that Mr. Ye is very busy. I’m already satisfied that I can accompany you for a few words.” At this moment, Lai Zhiqiang was like a brainless fan.
The few subordinates who came with him were secretly shocked.
In their hearts, Brother Qiang was a ruthless person who would never show mercy when facing his enemies.
The underworld people gave him the nickname “Living Yama”!
Who would have thought that this living yama, who made many people tremble in fear, actually had such a humble side?
Moreover, he was so humble that he was buried in the ground.
A man who could conquer Brother Qiang was a real man!
At this moment, the shop owner had already walked out with a large bundle of tools.
“Mr. Ye, these tools are the best equipment in my shop. I can’t bear to sell them no matter how much others offer me.” The shop owner’s gaze moved back and forth between the tools, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Ye Feng casually took out a Luoyang shovel and knocked on it twice, producing a dull metallic sound.
“The quality is really good. I like it. How much do these tools add up to?”
“It’s like a sword for a hero. Your using the tools in my shop brings light to my humble business. How would I dare to take your money? I’ll give you these tools for free.” The boss immediately declined.
But how could Ye Feng accept such a small favor, he took out two stacks of cash from his bag, about twenty thousand yuan, and stuffed it into his hands.
