I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 780: The Legendary Fruit Market
And then, they stepped aside, and he saw a head with dyed yellow hair sticking out from inside.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the hair and yanked the person back.
"Fuck, you... let go of me, damn it, let go."
Falling to the ground, he struggled to adjust to his predicament, still cursing incessantly.
Ye Chen didn't pay him any attention and just dragged his body before lifting it up, and finally, he threw it down to the ground.
This time, Ye Chen used only a little strength, because he knew that at this moment he couldn't afford to injure these people too easily.
The man lay on the ground, then quickly scrambled up, looking at Ye Chen in fear.
"Who are you?"
"Heh, my name is Ye Chen."
"So it's you, big brother has been inside waiting for you, you... come in with me."
At that moment, it's as if he suddenly realized that this person was indeed Ye Chen.
The same Ye Chen who had injured his brothers, nearly twenty people, and at that time, his combat skills were also very impressive. He never expected to encounter him today, and couldn't tell whether it was luck or misfortune.
Ye Chen knew that as long as he revealed his name here, these people would probably be somewhat wary of him.
Ye Chen just nodded slightly without saying a word. Besides, saving others is saving oneself, he was nothing more than a little lackey in front of Brother Shui.
He guessed that Brother Shui's influence was usually used to bully others here, but today this lesson would educate him vividly, Ye Chen believed so.
Subsequently, the gate was swung open, and Ye Chen walked in to see a very large market.
Actually, it was very similar to the common markets Ye Chen had known before, but this one seemed to have a considerably larger scale.
Both sides were lined with shops, but at this time, all the shops had closed, with only the occasional one or two still lighting up inside.
Ye Chen was unsure whether these people lived here or if there were some other special arrangements.
The market was quite clean and spotless, which gave a very comfortable feeling.
A typical fruit wholesale market, in Ye Chen's opinion, would definitely be dirty and disorganized.
But under Brother Shui's leadership, to his surprise, this market was well-maintained.
In that case, Ye Chen could imagine that people probably didn't visit here too often, plus there were cleaners continuously tidying up, which would explain the current tidy state.
"Where's Brother Shui?"
Ye Chen looked ahead. He saw a wide road before him and couldn't discern much farther ahead.
He kept following the man, not knowing where he would be led. Halfway there, Ye Chen turned and spoke to him.
"Brother Shui, Brother Shui is in the room inside."
"Inside room? Which room? All these are shops, where's the room?"
"Oh, it's like this. Keep walking straight ahead to the end, and then you will see a two-story building right there."
"Two stories, right at the end? How much further?"
"Not far, walk for another two or three minutes, and you should get there. Are you too tired to walk? Should I find a vehicle to pull you there?"
Actually, the man was paying close attention to every move Ye Chen made, as if Ye Chen really was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
So after he said his piece, Ye Chen didn't reply, merely nodding slightly.
Looking ahead, it seemed that not far away there were indeed some faint lights, though from this distance, they appeared somewhat dim.
"That's alright, no need. Everyone is over there, right?"
"Yes, they're all over there. Brother Shui ordered early on that as soon as you arrived, to bring you straight there."
"What do you do in this market?"
"I'm in charge of... opening the doors."
"Doorkeeper? A doorkeeper has become so cocky now?"
"No, no, big brother, I didn't mean that, I wasn't being cocky, I... I was wrong earlier, I was wrong, I failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please spare me."
It seemed like he thought Ye Chen was going to give him trouble again, so he quickly tried to ingratiate himself.
But Ye Chen was not in the mood for that; he was eager to meet Brother Shui to discuss matters seriously, yet it seemed things were somewhat different from what he had expected.
"I'm asking you, what time does it usually close and open here? How many people normally come to the market?"
"We normally open at 8 a.m., and by 5 p.m., the shops start to tidy up. By about 6:30, all the shop owners have left."
"When I came in earlier, I saw some shops lit up there. What's that about?"
"Oh, those aren't shops, actually. They're our people; sometimes they spend the night here. Also, some of them run their own businesses here, so it's normal to see Brother Shui's men here at night."
"So other shop owners don't stay overnight, which means currently everyone here is your own people?"
"Yes, that's right, so now this whole area is ours. Big brother, you don't have to worry."
"Worry? What do I have to worry about? If I dare come here alone, I don't plan to settle down nicely, so don't even think about those tricks; rest assured, every move you make is under my control."
