"Oh, the sheriff's here? I didn't expect it to be a chick!"

"Let me tell you, you better not meddle in this business!"

"This year's mountain goods, I, Liu Hongfei, have taken it all. If anyone dares to buy mountain goods privately, they're blocking my road to wealth, and I won't give face to anyone!"

Liu Hongfei grinned, and behind him stood a group of rowdy followers. Roughly counted, there were about twenty-five people.

A dark mass, looking very intimidating.

Actually, Zhao Tienan had heard of Liu Hongfei's reputation. Among the nearby villages, he was considered a tough character.

He didn't have much skill, nor did he know how to do business, but he had his own way with exploitation and monopoly.

It was harvest time for mountain goods now, and the market was especially prosperous with a high volume of transactions.

Liu Hongfei saw this and immediately gathered a bunch of idle people to monopolize the industry under the guise of collecting mountain goods.

The implication was that only he could collect, and if anyone dared to be his competitor, they would be dealt with harshly.

As a result, Liu Hongfei achieved monopoly, but the villagers who collected the goods were furious yet didn't dare to voice their anger, and could only sell their hard-earned goods to Liu Hongfei at very low prices.

No choice, as no one else dared to collect but him.

If the villagers didn't comply, their goods would rot in their hands, leaving them with nothing.

Liu Hongfei would buy low and sell high, pocketing a significant profit each harvest season.

After making money, he continued to recruit men, forming a vicious cycle where their gang grew stronger and bigger.

"Liu Hongfei, stop baring your teeth at me!"

"Collecting mountain goods is about skill, do you have a higher-up's approval or something? Why can only you collect while others can only watch?"

"I warn you, a good dog doesn't block the way. If you dare take even a pound of the mountain goods I've collected today, I'll fight you to death!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out opposite Liu Hongfei. Zhao Tienan rubbed his eyes and was astonished to find that the speaker was none other than Xu Wenjing!

At this moment, she was riding an old tricycle, clutching a sharp sickle in her hand, her face full of defiance and discontent. Her small rebellious demeanor looked quite endearing.

"Fight me to death?"

"Stinky woman, do you have what it takes?"

"Let me be clear, you've angered me now, not only will I confiscate those mountain goods you mentioned today, but I'll also take you in; tonight, I'll let my brothers behind me have a taste."

Liu Hongfei rubbed his chin, his goldfish eyes fixed on Xu Wenjing's curvaceous figure and enchanting belly.

At this moment, Zhao Tienan finally understood.

Liu Hongfei realized Xu Wenjing was buying mountain goods at high prices and saw her as a threat to his wealth, which is why he's causing trouble for her.

If it were someone else, Liu Hongfei would have resolved this long ago.

But unfortunately, he encountered Fengshan Village's renowned stubborn character, the top tough guy.

Compromise was out of the question.

If a fight truly broke out, Xu Wenjing might swing her big sickle and cause serious injuries.
