Chapter 858: Chapter 857: If you come any closer, I’ll call for help—

"Today, this village girl will show you city folks that in the city, as long as your fists are hard enough, you can be fiercer than you!" Wang Yongzhu said calmly, then hooked the remaining half of the counter with her hand and gently lifted and pushed it.

The counter seemed to grow wings and flew straight towards the remaining shelves.

Crash—

Not a single one of the remaining shelves in the shop was spared; all were smashed to pieces by the counter.

"You—" The shopkeeper, who had already been dragged in front as a human shield by Lady Fang, was furious. Watching Wang Yongzhu casually overturn the counter and crash all the shelves, he choked with rage, unable to speak.

All the rouge and powders on the shop’s shelves were shattered, leaving the shopkeeper breathless and pointing at Wang Yongzhu in speechless anger.

The idle men at the door tightened their backs, wondering whose incredibly strong girl this was, being so fierce?

If they were to smash a shop, it would take at least seven or eight men to achieve such a spectacle!

How could this little lady handle it with just one hand?

One of the idlers couldn’t help but whisper, "Bro, if someone were to hire us to smash a shop in the future, bringing this little lady would surely—"

"Shut up! Do you want to die?" The eldest brother, frightened to death, covered the insensitive guy’s mouth firmly.

Can’t you speak properly? Taking such a girl to smash shops? Are you in a hurry to die?

While scolding his subordinate, the eldest brother couldn’t help imagining taking this kind of girl for such tasks in the future.

At one command, the strong little lady would step forward and smash the shop to pieces with one hand.

When collecting debts, if someone didn’t pay, one punch from the little lady would, tsk tsk...

Just thinking about the scene made him excited!

However, the eldest brother still had some sense. While covering his subordinate’s mouth, he waved away the images in his mind and forced a smile at Wang Yongzhu, "Little lady, continue, continue..."

Wang Yongzhu glanced at the eldest brother, and he felt that her calm look was somehow terrifying. His buttocks tightened, and he stood obediently to the side, not daring to make a sound.

"How about the fists of this village girl?" Wang Yongzhu took another slow step forward.

Lady Fang was scared to the point of trembling, shrinking into the corner, screaming desperately.

Several shop assistants exchanged glances, wanting to step forward to stop her, but Wang Yongzhu’s earlier display of strength made them hesitate, leaving them in a dilemma.

The shopkeeper finally caught his breath and, with trembling hands, shouted, "Call the authorities— quickly call the authorities—"

This matter couldn’t be resolved peacefully today!

Not to mention anything else, this village girl smashed the rouge shop to pieces; just the goods on the shelves alone were worth at least one hundred taels.

With such a significant loss, how could the owner not be angry? If they didn’t hand over the culprit, they were surely doomed!

No matter how formidable this village girl was, she surely wouldn’t dare to defy the government, right?

Anyway, their owner had a good relationship with the Yamen, always showing respect and tribute annually. The Yamen should likely show them some face!

Thinking this, the shopkeeper hurriedly urged the assistants to report to the authorities.

This East Main Street was one of the busiest areas of Jing County, always patrolled by government officials to prevent any disturbances.

The patrolling officials for the day had just left the Government Office when they saw a commotion ahead. With their rich experience, they knew immediately that something was wrong.

They rushed quickly towards the crowd.

Along the way, they heard many people saying that something had happened at the Tian Family Rouge Shop, and someone was causing trouble.

The two officials exchanged glances, knowing that the Tian Family Rouge Shop was an old establishment on this street, and the owner always showed them respect and gave generous tributes during festivals. Their wives also got discounts when buying from the shop.

In light of these, they decided they needed to give the troublemakers a good reception today.

Rushing to the shop, they found it surrounded by a thick crowd.

After much effort, squeezing through the throng had their hats crooked. They couldn’t get in.

The onlookers didn’t make it easier, exclaiming:

"Oh—"

"Wow—"

"This is incredible—"

Such voices only incited the curiosity of those further back, who shouted for a live broadcast of the scene.

No one paid attention to the two officials. People even pushed them impatiently, saying, "Bro, stand aside! Don’t you know the rules of watching shows? If you’re late, stay at the back. Don’t try to cut in line!"

The officials, faces darkened, shouted, "Move aside! Move aside! Obstructing official duty will get you a paddle beating—"

Only then did the crowd begrudgingly make way.

The two officials finally squeezed to the front of the Tian Family Rouge Shop and saw several well-known idle fellows of the street gathered at the entrance.

Instantly assuming it was them causing trouble, they put on stern faces. Unwritten rules on this street were that these idlers usually didn’t make trouble on their patrolled streets. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to hang around in the future.

Why were they raising hell here today?

"Hu Laoer, what are you doing? Causing trouble at the Tian Family Rouge Shop? Leave now, or we’ll arrest you!" one official said.

Hu Laoer was watching with great interest when he heard his name and being accused of causing trouble. Without turning, he said, "Are you blind? My brothers are all here. What trouble? We’re just watching—"

Mid-sentence, he realized something was wrong, turned his head, and exclaimed, "Oh my! Officers, what brings you here? We wouldn’t dare cause trouble with you around!"

"Then what are you doing here, blocking the entrance? Don’t people need to do business?" the other officer asked.

"Hey! Isn’t there something interesting going on at the Tian Family Shop? We brothers had nothing to do today, so we’re just watching!" Hu Laoer replied, grinning.

"Really not you causing trouble?" The two officers still looked suspicious.

Just then, they heard the shopkeeper’s heartbreaking shout from inside, "Call the authorities—"

And chaotic voices, "Don’t come—"

"Don’t come, if you come closer, I’ll call for help—"

Listening to the noises, the two officers’ faces turned serious. Seemed pretty tricky inside, sounded like there might be a gang of robbers!

Exchanging glances, they couldn’t walk away under so many eyes.

They steeled themselves and walked into the shop.

Inside, a suffocating fragrance almost made them retreat.

Covering their noses, they looked around – where was the gang of robbers?

There was only an infuriated shopkeeper, several trembling shop assistants, and a delicate little lady, leaving them utterly puzzled.
