"Shut up you old r!" The leader shouted at the old r who flinched under the loud shout of the woman. "Do you think that you only need to pay for the fees that you owe? Who is going to pay us the interest? All this ti when we ca to your shop and left without making a fuss if you do not pay for it then who will?"
The words of the woman were so shaless that many people in the crowd frowned. But they didn't say anything. Thugs like these do not commit big cris and they were not good people so they didn't care about heading to the Yan anyway.
After all, they would co out of the Yan in a few days. Why would they fear a complaint? Instead, it should be people like them who should worry about these thugs causing trouble for them.
Mammy Tian also felt that this woman was too shaless but when she thought about how it was important for her to send these thugs away from the shop, she decided to count the taels in the pouch and threw sixty taels to the thugs.
"Take this and get away," when she caught the glint of greed in their eyes, Mammy Tian added swiftly, "Don't even think about coming back for more, my master is not soone you can offend. The next ti you co back for more money, I promise that you will be locked up for a long ti."
The leader of the thugs was not foolish. She knew that Mammy Tian was not joking. She smiled and then said, "Of course not, we might be thugs but we also have a bottom line." After speaking, she turned on her heels and walked away.
Once the thugs left the crowd that was gathered around the old r shop also walked away leaving only Madam Tian and the rs.
Chen Mi walked towards the old r who was sitting on the ground and then helped him up, he dusted off the dirt that was sticking to the clothes of the old r and then asked him, "Old master are you alright?"
"Please call , Old Bai," said the old r with a smile. "Thank you for helping
just now. If you hadn't intervened then I would have lost everything." He paused and then added, "Co with , I will write the IOU for you."
"There is no need," Shen Li said to Old Bai. "We were just casually helping you out, there is no need for you to write IOU."
"Oh no, how can I do that?" Old Bai sounded scandalous at the thought of not handing the money back. He patted his chest and then said, "I might look like this but I am r with self-respect and pride. There is no way that I will take your money for free."
He then paused and added, "If young lords do not mind then you can co to my house, I can show my hospitality."
Shen Li and the rest exchanged a look with one another. They didn't know whether or not to trust the old r.
"There is no need," Ye Liu said with a stern voice. However, the old r waved his hand and then said, "How can it be? You all are my saviours. I need to show my gratitude. Please give this old r a chance to repay your kindness even if it's a small part on my side…or else I would feel too guilty for taking your money."
"My granddaughters are at ho, as well."
Old Bai looked like a good and honest r. Under his continuous insistence, Shen Li and the rest nodded.
After all, Old Bai was just an old r and they had Mammy Tian with them. There was no way this old r who opened a small shop on the street would be able to harm them.
They followed Old Bai to the small house that was at the end of the street.
As they followed him, sothing seed weird. There was a sickly sweet scent in the air and Shen Li who was walking in the front suddenly paused. He looked at Old Bai with his vision blurring, "You..what did you do——"
He couldn't finish his words as he fell but the old r caught him as an evil smile adorned his face.
"Now, Now… I can't let you harm that child."

anwhile, Yu Dong was at the mall behind her was the leader of the rcenaries who was following her with a sour-looking face.
"There is no need for you to look like this," though Yu Dong didn't look back, she could sense what kind of expression Xiao Yu was making.
Xiao Yu turned her gaze resentfully. She didn't think that there was any need for her to make this expression. After all, she was the leader of the rcenaries at one point, now she was following behind another woman while noting down the things that needed to be added or removed from the mall like a personal assistant!
How could she not be aggrieved?
"If you smoothen that frown, I will add another at dish to your dinner," said Yu Dong as she looked at the custors who were picking up vegetables and at from the counter while testing their freshness.
"Right you are, Boss Yu. I think that we should add ice pops as soon as possible that's what I collected with the survey," said Xiao Yu with a smile when she heard that there would be another at dish at dinner.
Yu Dong rolled her eyes. She was quite aware of the actions of Xiao Yu and wasn't even surprised.
She was about to tell Xiao Yu to continue with the survey but then she saw Mammy Yun running towards her. She looked panicked and confused, seeing her run Yu Dong felt her heart skip a beat as she questioned, "What happened?"
"The lords are missing!"
