Shen Mingzhu rushed to the noodle shop and saw that the place was in complete shambles.
Broken bowls, noodle soup, and congealed noodles were scattered everywhere, making it difficult to even find a place to stand.
Five or six unruly-looking youths were each occupying a table, with each one smoking and showing a defiant attitude.
Outside the shop, several passersby stopped to watch the commotion.
"Young sister, why have you come alone? Where's Pei Yang?"
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu had only brought Shen Hongmei with her, Shen Chaobei hastily pulled Shen Mingzhu outside the noodle shop, as if fearful that Shen Mingzhu would be bullied by the gangsters inside.
Shen Xiangnan and Qin Jinlian also ran out from the noodle shop, surrounding Shen Mingzhu with faces full of panic.
"Mingzhu, you must think of something. These people are beating and smashing things—they can't be driven away, and we can't do business."
