The bitter rage in Sister A'Lin's eyes burst forth when she saw Wang Hao become furious, "Right. Little Nibbles, this brat is insane. He doesn't even pay attention to you. Find someone to hack him to pieces!"


The rage in her tone and intensity in her expression seemed more thuggish than those who mixed with the underworld.


Those who don't know her may think she might've worked in the underworld before.


As for Lin Yueling, she almost fainted when she heard her son's words. The matter could've been settled easily but now, even if Sister A'Lin were ready to give up, Wang Hao wouldn't. The power holders cared about prestige the most. The so-called 'Pour Encourager Les Autres' to say. They intimidated the powerless. She was sure that Wang Hao would attack her son.


She felt heart-broken. Why are you enduring all this? Why don't you yield?


What will mother live for if anything happens to you?


Jiang Xiu was everything to her.


No one dared to utter a word when they saw that Wang Hao was enraged. Today's matter had become really serious. An accident might even occur. Their palms began to sweat for Jiang Xiu. They believed that Jiang Xiu would either lose an arm or leg but wouldn't get away scot free, and he'd live a miserable life as a disabled person.


But Jiang Xiu remained indifferent to all this as if it didn't matter at all.


"Little…"


At this moment, a man appeared while holding a work suitcase. It was a middle-aged man. He felt quite astonished when he saw so many people at the store and spoke to Kou Shui Yong, "A'Yong, I can't lease this store to you anymore."


Kou Shui Yong felt as if he was struck by thunder, "Why? Cheng Hai, I've always paid my rent in full. My business has gone up recently, so why don't you want to lease it to me anymore?"


"Do you want more rent now that my business is booming?"


He revealed the same stinginess Sister A'Lin had assumed before.


Cheng Hai laughed and shook his head, "Do you think I'm such a disgusting person? It isn't that I want to raise the rent but rather that I've already sold the shop off. I came over to inform it to you. As for whether you'll be able to continue leasing it, that'll depend on the new owner. That's all from me. I'm leaving."


"Sold it off?" Kou Shui Yong felt his throat go sore. If it was indeed that way, nothing could be done. He chased after him to ask, "Who did you sell it to?"


Mister Chen replied, "To Mr. Jiang."


"Mr. Jiang?"


Everyone looked at Kou Shui Yong with a gaze full of sympathy. His business was quite prosperous ever since he set up the shop here. As the customers had no place to sit, he was planning to buy the store that Jiang Xiu's family was leasing. Who could've expected that such a reversal would happen?


Soon after, another voice came through, "A'Feng, it's good that you're here!"


"Huh, Teacher Wang, how come you're here? Did anything happen?"


"A'Feng, I'm sorry. I can't lease my shop to you anymore."


"Why?"


"I sold it to Mr. Jiang."


This…


Everyone looked at each other, thinking the same thing. Sold it to Mr. Jiang again?


Wang Hao said, "Who is this Mr. Jiang? Why's he buying so many stores?"


"Does he have too much money or what?"


But this was merely the beginning as similar news kept arriving.


"A'Shui, I can't lease my store to you anymore. I've sold it to Mr. Jiang."


"So sorry, Brother Ding. I also sold my store to Mr. Jiang."


"…"


For a moment, the entire Cloudlake street was flooded with the two words 'Mr. Jiang.'


"Sold to Mr. Jiang."


"Mr. Jiang…"


Someone couldn't help but say, "Oh my god, just where did this Mr. Jiang pop out from? With the rate he's buying, is he planning to buy out the entire Cloudlake South Street?"


The news kept arriving.


"A'Bing, I've also sold my store to Mr. Jiang."


"…"


According to the information that'd arrived in succession, this Mr. Jiang had already bought 20 stores. He was engulfing everything like a tempest, crazily reaping all the stores in Cloudlake South Street.


"Everyone, hear me. You ought to know this news as soon as possible. I've heard from the neighborhood council that our entire street was bought out by Mr. Jiang."


This time, all the neighbors who had assembled both inside the shop and outside made a commotion.


"Spending so much money!"


"This is too shocking."


The stores on Cloudlake street were worth around 20,000. The total sum for all the shops combined was about 200 million. This wasn't a small amount. The economy still hadn't boomed in the year 2008. Just hearing about a millionaire was enough to rile everyone up, let alone an amount in the units of 100 million.


"It seems like the heavens of Cloudlake South Street are about to change."


"Indeed!"


"From now on, this Mr. Jiang is our owner. Everyone's fate is in his hands. I hope this Mr. Jiang is a nice person who can sympathize with our poor families."


At this moment, someone said, "That's odd. Looks like Sister A'Lin's store wasn't bought?"


"That means the entire street wasn't bought?"


Just a moment ago, Lin Yueling's foolish son had rambled that he'd buy the entire Cloudlake South Street. Just look, someone has appeared to buy the whole street.


Moreover, only Sister A'Lin's store wasn't bought.


Sister A'Lin was also astonished, but she immediately rejected that line of thinking. That's impossible. It must be a coincidence.


Are you kidding me?


That brat's a poor sob, a damn fruit seller. There's no way he'd have the money to buy the entire street.


Sister A'Lin said, "Nibbles, weren't you going to teach that brat a lesson?"


"You can't leave this matter alone."


"He even told you to get lost just now."


Wang Hao furrowed his brows. Of course, he hadn't forgotten about it.


At this moment, it became noisy in front of the building. A hunky middle-aged man, wearing reading spectacles had made his way inside in a crude manner.


Sister A'Lin said, "Who are… Aaahhhh…"


Slap!


Wang Hao slapped her already swollen face. She was utterly dumbstruck and asked timidly, "Nibbles, what happened?"


"Shut up for this Daddy."


Wang Hao wore a smile and rushed to welcome the man in a flattering tone, "Grandpa Lei, how come you're here? It's really an honor."


The residents of Cloudlake were shocked at Wang Hao's change. Just who has come? Even Wang Hao is acting so deferential.


"Grandpa Lei?"


"It's Big Lei?"


That'd explain it if that were the case. It wasn't strange that Young Master Hao is acting like this as he was under him. If it was said that half of Cloudlake's underworld belonged to Young Master Hao, then half of Jiang City's underworld belonged to Big Lei.


"What's such a big shot doing over here in a tiny place like Cloudlake?"


Big Lei only had Jiang Xiu in his gaze. He pushed Wang Hao aside and came in front of Jiang Xiu, kneeling down on the ground. He didn't say a word and started slapping himself.


Lin Yueling was stupefied after seeing this.


Jiang Xiu remained calm. Big Lei was hospitalized after that day and was released two days ago. He found out about Jiang Xiu's identity only after he was released outside.


Big Lei wanted to maintain relations with the Tang family, so he'd have to obtain Jiang Xiu's forgiveness. He learned from how Brother Dong had acted that day. As Jiang Xiu had accepted the Tang family after that, he believed this method was the best.


Slap! Slap! Slap!


His body was upright, yet he acted with sufficient respect. He slapped himself with full strength, causing his cheeks to swell up quickly. Blood leaked from his mouth but didn't even flinch his brows.


Silence. The entire place had gone deathly still.


Accurate to say, only the sounds of slapping were audible.


Everyone felt baffled as they witnessed the entire scene play out. Wang Hao's eyes almost popped out in shock. He felt the same amount of shock that Big Lei felt when he saw A'Dong kneel in front of Jiang Xiu and slap himself.


What the fuck is happening?


"Grandpa Lei, why are you…" Wang Hao's complexion went pale. Even an idiot could make out that Big Lei was kneeling in front of Jiang Xiu.


Jiang Xiu didn't say anything. He just pulled Lin Yueling along and left.


Slap! Slap! …


Big Lei didn't dare to stop slapping though.


A lot of noise could be heard from the entrance of the street. The two sides of the entire Cloudlake Southern Street was filled with men in black suits. They wore sunglasses and remained silent like a statue.


They looked just like underworld bodyguards which appeared in TV dramas.


There were around 200-300 of them.


The entire street was filled with a gloomy aura.


As soon as they saw Jiang Xiu come out, all of them bowed and yelled simultaneously, "Mr. Jiang!"


"What?"


"He's Mr. Jiang?"


All of the residents almost lost their sanity.


The entire Cloudlake South Street became deathly silent, maintaining a pin-drop silence. All of the neighbors who had seen Jiang Xiu grow up look at him with a gaze of disbelief.


Lin Yueling was all the more stupefied.
