C57 (1/2)

The owner of this hardware store was called Huo Liang. When he was young, he was also a reckless hoodlum.

Afterwards, he gained some fame in the underworld of Xiang City, and occasionally got to know the Chief of the Xiang City Business Bureau. Afterwards, he started the hardware business.

Coincidentally, there were a few construction projects in the city. With his relationship as the director, he was able to gather all the hardware for these projects and thus made a fortune.

In Xiang City, he owned four hardware stores.

And the house that was opened in front of Yining Middle School s, was because Yining Middle School s had required a large amount of hardware to build a new dormitory and gymnasium.

Now that Yining Middle School's dorm building had been completed and the gymnasium was almost finished, and there weren't any new construction projects in the vicinity, Huo Liang wanted to transfer this shop out.

Huo Liang's forehead was still wrapped in bandages. Yesterday, he had brought people to that restaurant to take revenge, but he did not manage to find Zhou Hao.

It made him angry all night, vexed when he would be able to breathe again. Unexpectedly, Zhou Hao had delivered himself to them today.

”Good boy, it was you who barged into the Infernal Realm this time.” Huo Liang laughed sinisterly, and just as he was about to get the three employees to teach Zhou Hao a lesson …

Then, he suddenly thought back to the day before, when all five of them couldn't do anything to him, and now it was even harder to subdue him.

Therefore, he suppressed the impulse in his heart and narrowed his small eyes instead. ”You're the one who wants to take over this shop?”

The moment he saw Huo Liang, Zhou Hao felt a headache. He never thought that the owner of this hardware store would actually be that fellow from yesterday.

Hearing him ask this, she also directly replied, ”That's right, it's me. Do you still want to transfer them now?”

”I do, why don't I think about it?” Huo Liang chuckled. He put his hands behind his back and secretly made a hand gesture to the shop assistant behind him.

The shop assistant had been with Huo Liang for a few years, so he naturally knew what Huo Liang was trying to say.

Huo Liang thought that he had done it without anyone noticing, but when Zhou Hao saw the shop assistant walk in with a strange expression on his face, he knew what Huo Liang's intentions were.

He also turned around and said to Yan Tong and Lu Shiping: ”Mom, Auntie Lu, you guys go back first. I'll handle this matter myself.

Yan Tong and Lu Shiping had also seen that Huo Liang recognized Zhou Hao, but they had never thought that the two of them would have such a deep grudge.

Yan Tong said to Zhou Hao: ”This shop is very good, if it's not very expensive, we can take it.”

”OK Mom.”

Zhou Hao nodded, ”Don't worry about me. Oh right, you can go over to Second High School and see what kind of good storefront there is. We might open a branch there in the future. ”

”Sure.” Thus, Yan Tong and Lu Shiping left together.

Huo Liang did not care much about their departure, as long as Zhou Hao, the main host, was still there.

Then, he heard Zhou Hao laugh at him: ”Alright, then how much of the transfer fee do you want for this shop?”

Huo Liang extended ten fingers, smiled and looked at Zhou Hao, ”A hundred thousand, I won't sell it for a penny less.”

Zhou Hao immediately frowned, ”A hundred thousand? You must be joking, although the area is not small, the transfer fee is at most ten to twenty thousand.

He snorted at Huo Liang, ”I think you're planning on giving it to me.”

”100,000 isn't considered expensive.” Huo Liang saw ten or so people walking towards them with iron pipes in their hands, and the smile on his face became even wider.

”Originally, the transfer fee I set was 25,000. But look at my injury, don't you have the awareness of paying the medical fees?” He pointed at the bandage on his head and cursed at Zhou Hao.

Just then, the ten over people had already arrived in front of Huo Liang's shop and surrounded Zhou Hao.

Huo Liang also smiled sinisterly at Zhou Hao, ”Now you can't even stop yourself from giving it to him. How about, you leave behind a hundred thousand or you leave behind a hand.”

Zhou Hao looked at the surrounding people who were eyeing him covetously, and revealed a cold smile.

The reason he let Yan Tong and Lu Shiping leave first was to prevent this kind of situation from happening, so that he wouldn't have to worry about dealing with them.

Seeing that Zhou Hao did not answer Huo Liang, he slowly retreated backwards so as not to be affected by it, and then shouted to the people around him: ”Brothers, give this brat a good memory!”

With a loud order, the dozen or so people immediately raised the iron pipes in their hands and rushed towards Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao dodged nimbly a few times, then cleverly avoided a few iron pipes that were swung at him, at the same time, he waved his fists and feet at the nearby thugs, causing them to scream miserably.

These people usually fought with each other to bully more people, but to Zhou Hao, these people were far from enough.

Although they did not try to kill Zhou Hao, they were all beaten up. After a few moves, none of them were able to stand up, and just laid on the ground in front of Huo Liang's shop.

There was already a lot of traffic here, so such a commotion naturally attracted quite a few people.

However, they knew that such matters could not be allowed to touch their bodies. Moreover, many of them knew the background of this hardware store's owner, so they could only watch from afar.
