Leng Si Yao raised his eyes and looked at the shop where the dim lights were still on. At this time, with such a big movement, someone above must have woken up!
"Go to this store and ask. Someone must have seen or heard something." Leng Siyao pointed to the shop on the right. The second-floor window of this shop just faced this muddy alley!
Ye Xichen agreed and said, "That's what I meant." I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Ye Xichen and Leng Si Yao actually thought of going together!
Leng Si Yao knocked on the door of the shop. After knocking for more than ten minutes, the door of the shop was finally opened.
Seeing two handsome guys, Ye Xichen and Leng Si Yao, standing at the door, and their royal aura and rebellious appearance are really hard to ignore!
"You, what are you doing?" The shop owner was so frightened that his tongue was tied!
"We have something to ask you." Ye Xichen said aloud. Seeing the shop owner so frightened, he felt that something was wrong here.
"What, what's the matter? I, I have already paid all the protection fees, let me go!" The shop owner wearing a coat was so frightened that his legs were shaking!
Protection fee? Is this kind of thing still popular now?
Ye Xichen and Leng Si Yao both found it incredible. Who is still collecting protection fees? What huge secrets are hidden in this seemingly calm island?!
"We are not collecting protection fees, but there are some things that I don't understand and I want to ask you." Leng Si Yao immediately asserted and took out a dozen red banknotes and handed them to the shop owner in front of him.
"What's the matter? Ask me something?" The boss was startled.
Leng Si Yao nodded, "Yes, there are some things."
"Can you say it through the iron gate across the shop?" The boss still felt scared. There were always some men in black in this area at night. The police arrested them several times but failed to catch them! They didn't dare to say anything out loud.
!
"Okay." Leng Siyao handed the banknotes to the boss and asked, "What's going on with collecting protection fees here?"
"Protection fee? Alas..." Speaking of the protection fee, the boss sighed, "This protection fee has been collected for five years."
"Five years?!" Leng Si Yao found it more and more incredible. Who actually collected protection fees so openly? There must be dark forces behind it!
The boss nodded, with a sad look on his face, "Yes! We have to pay a protection fee of 10,000 yuan every month. Originally, the owners of the shops in our area naturally refused to agree. In recent years, the island's tourism industry has developed, and we have made some money.
We have savings, but we can’t afford to pay 10,000 yuan a month! Fortunately, we can still live a good life, and these people are not too deceptive.”
"Ha..." Ye Xichen sneered, and then said: "Didn't you call the police? You are not far from the police station."
"I have called the police many times. The police are always looking for them, but they come and go without a trace, as if they have some supernatural powers. There is nothing we can do! Alas, there is nothing we can do. There are too many of them.
They are hooligans again, how can we businessmen be their opponents!" The boss then shook his head, there was nothing they could do!
"Is it safe after paying the protection fee?" Leng Si Yao then asked.
The boss nodded and sighed more and more, "Yes, if you pay the protection fee, they won't come looking for trouble."
"If you don't pay, what will they do?" Leng Si Yao looked at the boss, how many dark forces are secretly working on this island?!
