Seeing the few people who came in, Lu Fan was also stunned. These were clearly a group of hooligans, what kind of rent were they collecting?
Li Deli's face turned ugly; he was clearly very afraid of these people. The few people eating breakfast also hid in a corner. Clearly, no one wanted to provoke them.
"Big brother! There are still a few days left this month, why are you collecting next month's protection fees?" Li Deli said somewhat timidly.
"Protection fees?" Lu Fan was stunned. What era was this? In a county town, people were actually openly collecting protection fees?
"Stop the nonsense and hurry up and get the money," the leader, a kid with a rooster comb hairstyle, immediately yelled at Li Deli.
"My lords, we haven't had many customers these past few days, and we haven't made any money! Could you perhaps be lenient for a few days? Next month, we will definitely pay next month," Li Deli's wife, Zhou Cuihua, quickly said.
"Heh heh! It's okay if you don't have money. As long as the young lady accompanies us to have some fun, my Hao Ge will cover this shop from now on! How about it?" The rooster comb kid grinned wickedly, came over, pinched Zhou Cuihua's cheek, and said with a smile.
The three people behind Hao Ge burst into laughter. This young married woman was quite pretty, and it wouldn't be bad to take her back for some fun.
The few people eating nearby were filled with righteous indignation. However, they also dared not speak out.
"Don't touch my wife!" Li Deli, disregarding his fear, immediately rushed forward and pulled his wife Zhou Cuihua behind him.
"Go to hell!" The rooster comb Hao Ge immediately punched Li Deli. "Hurry up and get the money, five thousand yuan. If you're short by a single cent, you won't be able to open for business again!"
Li Deli didn't dare to fight back at all, and Zhou Cuihua was scared silly. The two of them were so stunned they didn't know what to do. They used to pay five hundred yuan in protection fees, so why was it suddenly five thousand?
"Damn it! So arrogant!?" Lu Fan couldn't stand it anymore and said from the side.
"Who the hell are you? Mind your own business, don't bring trouble upon yourself..." Hao Ge hadn't noticed Fan Xueer behind Lu Fan at first. But as soon as Lu Fan spoke, the few people almost simultaneously saw Fan Xueer, and their eyes lit up! This girl was much better than the married woman Zhou Cuihua!
"Heh heh! Here's another beautiful girl!" The rooster comb Hao Ge walked towards Fan Xueer with a lewd expression, completely ignoring Lu Fan's presence, and reached out to pinch Fan Xueer's cheek.
Fan Xueer was not only beautiful, but she also had a great figure. Moreover, she was wearing very little. Her fair skin, long straight legs, and the faint glimpse from beneath the hem of her shorts... it would be strange if these hooligans weren't aroused.
"Alas...!" Someone in the crowd watching sighed. It seemed this beautiful girl was going to have bad luck.
"Get lost, you bastard!" With Lu Fan by her side, Fan Xueer's courage grew considerably. She kicked towards the rooster comb Hao Ge with a crippling kick.
*Bang...* Hao Ge reached out and grabbed Fan Xueer's beautiful leg, grinning wickedly, "Heh heh! Such beautiful legs, I could play with them for a year!" However, he instantly saw a lace edge from inside the hem of Fan Xueer's shorts... *swish*... a nosebleed followed.
Fan Xueer was both ashamed and anxious, wanting to pull her leg back, but she didn't have the strength. As she was panicking, she suddenly felt her body lighten, and then her other leg was suddenly propelled by a force, kicking out fiercely.
"Ah...!" The rooster comb Hao Ge was holding Fan Xueer's beautiful leg, preparing to play with it, but suddenly let out a scream and curled up on the ground, clutching his lower body. His face was contorted in pain.
Fan Xueer then realized that she was being held tightly in Lu Fan's arms, and a warm feeling washed over her. It was Lu Fan who had picked her up, hooked her foot with his, allowing her to deliver the second crippling kick, which hit its target perfectly.
Fan Xueer twisted her body and suddenly reached out her arms to hook Lu Fan's neck. Her small, rosy lips suddenly moved towards Lu Fan's large lips.
Is this really okay? With so many people watching! Aren't you playing with fire...
A series of questions flashed through Lu Fan's mind, but he couldn't bear to let go of the big paws holding Fan Xueer's soft body.
The few hooligans beside them were instantly dazed by the display of affection. One of them even peed himself...
The people eating nearby were also dumbfounded. To be showing affection at a time like this, this young couple really didn't know what danger was.
"Damn it... have you guys had enough of this dog food? Aren't you going to beat him up for me!" The Hao Ge, who was curled up on the ground, finally recovered. Seeing his subordinates drooling over the two of them showing affection, he roared in anger.
"Bastards! Let go of that girl and let me have a go!"
The few hooligans snapped back to reality, and one by one, they clenched their fists and lunged at Lu Fan.
*Bang...* Lu Fan kicked out without even looking up, sending the first person rushing over flying back, and knocking the other two down.
*Whoosh...* Lu Fan and Fan Xueer finally separated. If it weren't for the fact that he was about to suffocate, he really wouldn't have wanted to separate. However, even though their lips had separated, Fan Xueer's soft body hadn't left Lu Fan's embrace. Instead, one arm held Lu Fan tightly, as if she was afraid he would run away.
"Are you guys dead? Don't pretend to be dead, get up and kill him for me!" The rooster comb Hao Ge got up from the ground, and seeing his three subordinates lying on the ground, he was so angry he wanted to go over and kick them hard. *Swish...* He pulled out a folding knife from his waist, flicked it open, and roared.
He didn't know that his subordinates weren't pretending. The first kid was almost suffocated by Lu Fan's kick. The three of them got up from the ground, and one by one, they grabbed tables and chairs nearby.
"You really deserve a beating!" Lu Fan was puzzled. This group of idiots was truly stupid to the extreme, not knowing to run? Well then, now it was impossible to run.
*Whoosh...* Lu Fan kicked out a few times in an instant. The four of them were now lying on the ground, groaning and unable to get up.
"Come... tell me, you guys only have this much skill, you can't even protect yourselves, yet you're so arrogant about collecting protection fees from others?" Lu Fan squatted down and asked Hao Ge.
"Kid! You've caused trouble, big trouble. Let me tell you, we are from the Black Tiger Gang! If you dare to go against our Black Tiger Gang, you're dead!" Hao Ge immediately pointed at Lu Fan and roared.
"Black Tiger Gang? What a lousy name, you didn't use your brain when you came up with it, did you? Are there black tigers? Why not call it the Black Bear Gang!" Lu Fan reached out and patted the shoulder of a subordinate next to the rooster comb Hao Ge and said, "Go call your Black Bear Gang leader here to redeem you. Otherwise, none of you will leave."
"Damn it! Redeem us? You're really bold. Our Black Bear Gang... pfft! When our Black Tiger Gang leader arrives, you'll be dead," Hao Ge said arrogantly.
