The group of people under Lin Gang were usually just bullying the weak, always engaged in fights.

Now, seeing so many people suddenly stand up, they were all frozen as if affected by an immobilization spell, not daring to move.

Lin Gang was stunned, "What, are you all together?"

The security guards remained silent, but Ye Guichen, wearing a cheeky smile, said, "They call me boss. Today we're having a meal together. We don't want to be disturbed. So, what's it gonna be? Still gonna smash up this noodle shop?"

Lin Gang's mouth twitched.

In this situation, smash the shop my ass!

The other side had more people, and many of the neighbors were watching. If they retreated shamefully, they'd never be able to show their faces around here anymore.

"Haha, do you know who I am?" Lin Gang swallowed hard and threatened, "I'm Lin Gang, I work with Boss Zhao Wuji."

As he spoke, Lin Gang pointed at the security guards, "All of you have families. If you don't want trouble, don't get involved here. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing mercy."

Zhao Wuji was obviously a tough character.

However, when Ye Guichen heard the name, a peculiar glint appeared in his eye.

When integrating the underground world two days ago, Zhao Wuji was there, and he had already surrendered completely.

Didn't expect his subordinates to still be so oblivious to danger.

The security guards remained motionless.

Since following Ye Guichen, he not only treated them well but always considered them first whenever there was a good opportunity.

This time, Zhao Erdan had been injured. They had visited him and knew Ye Guichen had not only covered all his medical expenses but also given him a hundred thousand yuan.

Ye Guichen's image soared even higher in everyone's hearts.

Who would fear threats when following such a boss?

"Boss, what should we do?" One security guard did not retreat; on the contrary, he held a wine bottle, stepped up to one of the thugs, and said, "Just give the word, and we'll waste these blind bastards today!"

"Shit, if you dare utter one more word, I'll kill your entire family!" The thug yelled angrily but instinctively stepped back a few paces.

Ye Guichen did not give an order but said to Lin Gang, "Brother Gang, you can see, my brothers here have bad tempers. Leave the toll and go quickly, lest they get impatient and hurt you."

Lin Gang was furious.

But clearly, they were not a match for these guys.

He glared viciously at Ye Guichen, "Bro, the green hills won't change, the waters will flow forever. Do you dare to state your name?"

"Ye Guichen, Security Department of Chen Group. If you want to play, feel free to find me anytime." Ye Guichen announced his name.

Lin Gang was stunned, not expecting Ye Guichen to be from Chen Group.

But so what?

They were not in the same league.

Although Lin Gang knew Chen Group was immensely powerful now, he didn't pay much attention.

When Long Zhengkun was still around, Lin Gang might have been wary, but hearing that Chen Group was now led by a woman, what was there to worry about?

Moreover, this kid was just a security guard, nothing to be afraid of.

Following the principle of a wise man not suffering immediate loss, Lin Gang snorted coldly, pointed at Ye Guichen's nose, and said fiercely, "Kid, I don't believe you'll be here guarding every day. When you're not around, I'll take care of this noodle shop!"

Having left the threatening words, Lin Gang turned to leave.

"You haven't paid the toll yet." As soon as Ye Guichen finished speaking, two security guards blocked Lin Gang's way, making it clear they wouldn't let him leave without paying.

"Damn it, pay up!" Lin Gang gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Huang Mao was scared out of his wits, unable to utter a word.

He hadn't expected Ye Guichen to have so many men under his command. Swallowing hard, he whispered, "Brother Gang, I just collected the protection fee, it's only this much..."

"Fuck, stop babbling!" Lin Gang, already fuming, kicked Huang Mao: "Pay up."

Huang Mao had no choice but to hand over all the protection money he had collected, stammering.

The money was crumpled.

Ye Guichen didn't hold back; he gestured subtly.

One of the security guards took the money and counted it, totaling forty thousand yuan.

Ye Guichen waved his hand.

The security guards then stepped aside, allowing Lin Gang to leave.

Without another word, Lin Gang left dejectedly with his men.

Only when Lin Gang was far away did the onlookers react.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Someone started clapping, and soon a round of applause erupted from the crowd.

"That was satisfying!"

"Who knew Brother Gang could be scared too."

"Haha, who was that guy, he seems so badass!"

"I think he's Old Zhao's colleague. Damn, Old Zhao is impressive, and his colleague is even more formidable!"

"No kidding, Old Zhao usually keeps a low profile, but he really has some skills."

Everyone felt relieved.

Li Xiaoqin didn't expect Ye Guichen to be so powerful. Seeing Lin Gang and his men leave furiously, her eyes turned red, and she excitedly approached Ye Guichen, "Manager Ye, you..."

"Sis-in-law, no need to say anything." Ye Guichen stuffed the four thousand yuan he'd taken into a nearby security guard's hand: "Distribute this among the brothers."

The security guards, hearing this, admired Ye Guichen even more.

"Boss, we don't deserve it!"

"That's right, you're the boss, our lifelong boss, we..."

Ye Guichen glared at them, "I said, follow me, and you'll benefit! Stop being sentimental, hurry up!"

As he spoke, he sniffed lightly and glanced at the kitchen behind the noodle shop, "Sis-in-law, the noodles seem to be ready."

"Ah? Oh." Li Xiaoqin didn't know what to say, nodded, and quickly went into the kitchen.

Soon, Li Xiaoqin came out of the kitchen, excitedly carrying a bowl of noodles.

Instantly, a rich aroma wafted from the noodle shop.

"What smells so good?"

"Oh my, I suddenly feel really hungry."

"Hey, it seems to be coming from the noodle shop."

The aroma carried by the wind traveled far, and many people strolling down the street instinctively looked toward the noodle shop.

Li Xiaoqin was also surprised.

She had been making noodles for nearly ten years but had never smelled noodles so aromatic.

Moreover, looking at the noodles' color, they were incredibly appetizing.

It seemed more like gourmet delicacies rather than mere noodles.

"Manager Ye, are these noodles really made with Chinese medicine?" They say good medicine tastes bitter, and Li Xiaoqin couldn't associate this bowl of noodles with Chinese medicine at all.

Ye Guichen nodded, "Yes, I added some ingredients to mask the bitterness of the medicine. By the way, let's call these noodles 'Seven-Quilled Linglong Noodles.'

"Then these noodles, they must cost at least twenty yuan, right?" Though she didn't know how the noodles were made, Li Xiaoqin felt anything less than twenty yuan a bowl would be unjust given the aroma and color.

Before, her noodles would cost at most ten yuan a bowl; twenty yuan felt like a fortune.

Ye Guichen grinned, "Sis-in-law, twenty? Come on, these are medicinal noodles. Just the name alone is worth hundreds. So, let's price it at 888 yuan a bowl, limit ten bowls a day; first come, first served."

"What?" Li Xiaoqin was so startled that she almost dropped the bowl: "Eight hundred eighty-eight yuan for a bowl of noodles?"
