Tang Yue saw that Jun Lingmo was staying obediently in Ling Yi's arms, so she was temporarily relieved and went to deal with those thugs.

She, Da Niu, and Zhu Zi tied up all the thugs and threw them together.

She turned to Jun Lingmo and asked worriedly, "Amo, are you... alright?"

Jun Lingmo remained silent in Ling Yi's arms.

He... just lost control of himself.

But he has no regrets. In this life, it's his turn to protect Shen Zhiyun, as he promised him.

But now, he didn't know how to handle the situation.

He thought about it and decided to leave it to Xiao Mo to handle. Now was the time he could come out, so it made no mistake to leave it to him.

Then Xiao Mo, who had just been suppressed, was released again.

Xiao Mo: ...Heaven is going to kill him!

He glanced furtively at the looks on the faces of the people around him, utterly dejected. He must have fainted.

Just do it.

He then collapsed to the ground.

"Xiao Mo,"

“Amo,”

When the people around saw Jun Lingmo suddenly faint, they were so frightened that they cried out a few times and rushed to Jun Lingmo's side to check on him with concern.

Tang Yue also checked Jun Lingmo's body immediately.

But after examining him thoroughly, she couldn't find any wounds. She looked up, intending to pinch his philtrum to see if he could wake up, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of his eyelashes fluttering slightly.

She pursed her lips and instantly looked away.

Tsk, she actually dared to imitate her and pretend to faint, but her acting skills are not up to par, though she is definitely alright.

My apologies, she led people astray.

She felt slightly guilty before speaking, trying to tidy up the mess: "Mother, Uncle Ling, A-Yun, why don't you take A-Mo back to rest first? I'll help Uncle Da-Niu and Uncle Zhu-Zi pack up."

Tang Ruhua was worried about Jun Lingmo, but also afraid that Tang Yue wouldn't be able to manage on her own, so she asked, "Are you sure you can manage?"

"Yes, Mother. You saw my fighting prowess just now. Let's go back and get a doctor for Amo so he can sober up."

Upon hearing this, Jun Lingmo's eyelids twitched as he pretended to be dizzy; A-Yue had definitely seen through him.

But he still had to bite the bullet and pretend, all because of Da Mo.

He's so angry! That crazy kid Da Mo, why does he always cause trouble? Ugh, I'm going crazy!

How could he be so annoying when he grew up?!

Seeing that the troublemakers had all been tied up, along with Da Niu and Zhu Zi, Tang Ruhua said, "Alright, be careful then, we'll take Xiao Mo back first."

"Okay, I'll be back in a bit. You guys should go now."

After Tang Ruhua and the others left, Tang Yue looked at the one-eyed, nose-picking leader.

She moved a stool over and sat down opposite the eldest man, asking, "What's your name?"

The nose-picking leader covered his eyes and remained silent.

Tang Yue nonchalantly turned to ask the younger brother next to her.

"Hey kid, what's your boss's name?"

The thug was clearly frightened by Jun Lingmo's ruthlessness earlier, and he stammered, "I... my boss is called Stick."

Tang Yue: ...This naming style looks so familiar.

She asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Doesn't he have a son named Cabinet?"

Upon hearing this, Stick immediately dropped his eyes and looked at Tang Yue in shock, asking, "What... how... is this paper?"

"Because your son followed in his father's footsteps, he also picked a fight with me."

"So, the last time... you tricked my son out of fifty taels of paper... was that... you?"

Tang Yue shrugged and said, "If your son is indeed named Guizi (柜子), then it must be me."

"But you can't say that I cheated him. He tried to hit me with a stool from someone else's shop. That was compensation for the shop, and I didn't get it."

After Tang Yue finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then said, "I haven't even asked your son for my appearance fee yet."

Stick listened to Tang Yue's shameless words and remained silent for a long time.

After Tang Yue finished speaking, she called over Da Niu, who was tidying up the scene.

"Uncle Niu, come here and hand over all the money they have on them."

After calming the frightened customers outside the door, Da Niu went over and gave the thugs a full search. He took out his money bag and counted the money; there were a total of one hundred and eight taels of silver.

"Xiaoyue, that's a total of one hundred and eight taels."

"Okay, put them away. Replace all the broken tables and chairs from today, and refund the money to the customers who were frightened. Then let them leave."

"Okay, Xiaoyue, I'll go right now."

Looking at Tang Yue's composed demeanor, Gunzi's intuition told him that she was the owner of the shop.

He opened his mouth: "Are you the owner of this shop?"

"No."

"Aren't you the one ordering them around?"

"Mind your own business. I'm asking you, how many shops did you rob before?"

"No...we didn't rob a single store," before they even entered the store, they were blasted out with two-meter-long broadswords.

Only her family allowed him in; he still hasn't succeeded in robbing them.

Tang Yue was speechless for a long time; this scoundrel was unprofessional.

She then asked, "Will you still do this kind of thing in the future?"

"I quit," he said. "It's too much of a failure. Farming is more lucrative."

"Oh? You're quitting? So how are you planning to settle things here today?"

Upon hearing this, Stick opened his mouth slightly and said, "Didn't you take all my money? What else do you want in return?"

Tang Yue snorted coldly and said, "Heh, what do you think? You insulted my mother, attacked A-Yun, and smashed my shop. Every single thing you've done deserves to be killed. If it weren't for the crowd, you would have been dead long ago. And you actually think I'd let you off so easily?"

"How could that be? I'm not a saint,"

"I'll give you two choices: leave your tongue, or leave a finger."

"Choose for yourself. You have three counts of time."

Stick hadn't expected the girl to be so ruthless. He opened his mouth and asked, "Can I choose my own finger?"

Tang Yue didn't think much of it and said okay.

Upon hearing this, Stick immediately extended his left hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve, revealing the entire hand.

“I’m the player, go ahead and chop,” he said, then closed his eyes.

Tang Yue looked at Gunzi with newfound respect because of how decisive he was in making his decision.

To her surprise, when she looked at the hand, she was shocked to discover that it had six fingers.

She wondered why he made the decision so quickly; it turned out he had been waiting for her here.

The sixth finger of the stick is about the same length as the little finger.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "You mean you want me to cut off your extra finger?"

"Yes...yes, you said I can choose for myself and I can't go back on my word."

"You've made your choice, consider yourself lucky today, but how you spend it is up to me."

Tang Yue turned around and called out to Da Niu, "Uncle Da Niu, bring me his boning knife."

Da Niu placed the boning knife that he had been keeping aside on the table in front of Tang Yue.
