The car screeched as it stopped in front of the Malatang stall. It was only 20 centimeters away from where Li Rui had been standing, the length of a student's ruler. At such a close distance, if Li Rui hadn't dodged, he wouldn't have been injured, but he would have been greatly shocked.
Like Li Rui, everyone at the scene looked at the arrogant car that had suddenly appeared. They wanted to see who the driver was, what kind of car it was, and why it was so fierce.
Li Rui was so angry that he was about to explode. He stared at the car, intending to see who the driver was before going up to argue with him. However, when he looked closely, he was slightly stunned. The car wasn't a private car, and the driver wasn't an ordinary one either. It was a Fukuda law enforcement car with the license plate of the city enforcement officers, and the driver was a fat young man wearing the uniform of the city enforcement officers.
Before Li Rui could argue with them, three or four people jumped out of the car. Then, the fat young man who was driving also got out of the car. The five of them gathered together, walked a few steps, and then split up, surrounding the entire Malatang stall. One of them, a man in his forties, walked up to the owner of the Malatang stall, a middle-aged man in his fifties, and yelled loudly, "Mr. Fang, you're still committing crimes despite repeated warnings. We won't let you go today no matter what. Brothers, loot the stall! " As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining four city enforcement officers swarmed up. They chased away the customers who were eating while kicking the stools and stalls, looking like they were going to smash and loot the stall.
The customers naturally didn't want to offend the city enforcement officers, so they all stood up and moved away. Those with good character went to the stall owner to pay the bill, while those with bad character ran away with their bags.
When Mr. Fang was about to pay the bill for a girl, the head of the city enforcement officers who had been staring at him snatched the money from the girl's hand and said, "All illegal income will be confiscated. Hurry up and leave … Don't make trouble for us!"
The girl was startled and quickly ran away with a red face.
Li Rui saw Gao Zixuan and Lu Qingman standing on the side and watching the show, so he called them over.
Lu Qingman said in surprise, "You came early?" Li Rui pulled her over and hugged her waist affectionately. He said, "We just arrived and this happened. Are you guys done eating?" She glanced at Gao Zixuan beside her, only to find a trace of disdain flashing across her pretty face. Her eyes clearly swept over her action of hugging Qingman's waist. She knew that she was despising her for being too intimate with Qingman. She smiled slightly and asked her, "You've been eating for an hour, right? Why are you still eating? Could it be that you can never get enough of this stuff? "
Gao Zixuan snorted, "What do you know!" Her beautiful eyes looked at the city management team members.
At this moment, a few city enforcement officers had already dispersed the crowd of diners and were loading tables, chairs, and benches into the back of the law enforcement vehicle. The stall owner, Mr. Fang, was furious. He wanted to rush over and stop them, but he was stopped by the leader. A woman who looked like Mr. Fang's wife ran out of the shop. She rubbed her hands on the apron in front of her as she watched the scene unfold. Her face was filled with shock and anxiety.
Gao Zixuan watched from the sidelines and said lightly, "This owner is not smart." Lu Qingman asked curiously, "Why do you say that?" Gao Zixuan said, "If he were smart, he would've waited for people to order the food and collected the money first. Then, this wouldn't have happened. Many people ran away without paying. Although we didn't run away, we ate for nothing. "Lu Qingman nodded and sighed." It's really hard to run a small business these days. Why don't we go and pay the bill? " Gao Zixuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Do you think that if you go and pay the bill now, the money will fall into his hands?"
When she said this, Li Rui saw that the driver had grabbed Mr. Fang's apron. He couldn't help but sigh. "Zixuan said that this Mr. Fang is not smart. He should've waited for people to order the food before collecting the money, as if that would've reduced his losses. In fact, the result would've been the same even if he collected the money first. "
Gao Zixuan followed his gaze and saw the chubby city enforcement officer grabbing Mr. Fang's apron with one hand and pushing him out with the other. He was going to take all of Mr. Fang's income. Gao Zixuan sighed and said, "Yeah, you're right. Even if he collected the money first, he wouldn't be able to keep a single cent from these bandits."
Li Rui stood there and watched for a while. He didn't sympathize with Mr. Fang and his wife, but he felt that these five city enforcement officers were too much, especially the chubby driver. How could he drive like that? Was he here to show off or to enforce the law? He wanted to go over and teach him a lesson, but he felt that it would lower his status, so he said to the two women, "Let's go. There's nothing to see here. I'll go and arrange a place for you to stay tonight. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Gao Zixuan yell. He stared at her and saw that she was still staring at the scene with a frown. He followed her gaze and saw that Mr. Fang had been pushed to the ground by the chubby city enforcement officer. His wife rushed over to help him up, but the chubby city enforcement officer ignored her. He held the apron with one hand and opened his pocket with the other to check the amount of money inside.
Gao Zixuan suddenly said, "I remember that the old bandits didn't rob small businessmen, right?" Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go." Gao Zixuan suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide and yelled excitedly, "Hey, they're going to fight."
Li Rui looked over again and saw that Mr. Fang had gotten up with the help of his wife and was about to punch the chubby city enforcement officer. Unfortunately, before he could hit him, his arm was grabbed by the leader of the city enforcement officers. Seeing that Mr. Fang was about to hit him, the chubby city enforcement officer didn't hold back and punched him in the face. As a result, Mr. Fang's fist landed squarely on Mr. Fang's face. Mr. Fang was forced back two steps and bumped into the door. Fortunately, he didn't fall down.
Gao Zixuan yelled angrily, "Aren't they ganging up to bully people?" Then, she yelled at Li Rui, "Hey, you're a leader. How can you just watch these bandits bully people?" Li Rui was also furious, but he couldn't do anything. He said, "What kind of leader am I? Even if I'm a leader, I can't control them. " Gao Zixuan curled her lips and said, "You really don't have any sympathy, right, Sister Qingman?"
Lu Qingman naturally knew Li Rui's difficulties and didn't want him to go and ask for trouble, so she said, "Let's go."
Gao Zixuan suddenly yelled again, "The shop owner is angry. Is he going back to the shop to get some weapons?"
Li Rui and Lu Qingman looked up at the same time and saw that Mr. Fang had turned around and entered the shop. However, they didn't know if he had gone back to get the weapons or to hide. In the blink of an eye, he jumped out again with something in his hand and ran directly toward the chubby city enforcement officer. The chubby city enforcement officer seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. He waved his hands in the air and threw away the apron. Then, he tilted his body and ran away. The head of the bylaw enforcement officers went up to stop Mr. Fang, and Mr. Fang waved his hand casually. With a scream, the head of the bylaw enforcement officers fell to the ground.
Gao Zixuan screamed in fear and turned around, not daring to look. He yelled, "Did … did he kill someone? Did he die? "
Li Rui was more than ten meters away from the scene, and he couldn't see clearly in the dark. However, he felt that Mr. Fang must have some kind of weapon in his hand. Otherwise, the leader of the enforcement officers wouldn't have fallen to the ground. Knowing that Gao Zixuan had been traumatized by the murder case, he didn't dare to let her stay at the scene in case she was frightened. He hurriedly said to Lu Qingman, "Honey, stay away from Zixuan. I'll see what's going on. If I can't figure it out, I'll call the police."
Lu Qingman was also scared. She nodded and quickly walked away with Gao Zixuan.
When Li Rui looked at the scene again, he saw the leader of the enforcement officers lying on the ground motionlessly. He didn't know if he was dead or unconscious. Meanwhile, Mr. Fang seemed to be scared as well. He stood there in a daze and didn't move an inch. His wife stood behind him and watched, her face as pale as a sheet. The other enforcement officers, including the fat one, all hid far away. Seeing this scene, no one went up to help the leader up.
Li Rui knew that he had to do something, or else it would be a big problem. He hurriedly walked up and took out his cellphone while looking at the leader of the enforcement officers lying on the ground. Seeing the dark bloodstains on the ground, he knew that Mr. Fang had stabbed him with his weapon. His scalp tingled, and he hurriedly dialed the emergency number, asking for help. Then, he hurriedly called 911. After explaining the situation, he walked up to the leader of the enforcement officers and saw that he was holding his stomach with one hand. His hand was covered in blood, but he hadn't fainted yet. With a pale face, he looked at Li Rui pitifully. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out. Li Rui guessed that he was asking for help.
