Chapter 27

"Ah..."

Xiaohuangmao let out a heart-wrenching scream. The force of the kick was immense, and he felt as if his hand was about to be crushed.

It was Ye Bufan who had arrived. When he saw these thugs bullying his mother, his anger surged, and he had no intention of being polite.

Moxigan Tou was taken aback. These thugs were all under the command of Old Ma Jiu, and they were used to ruling the urban village with an iron fist. No one dared to say a word against them.

Now, this young man actually dared to attack one of their own. Did he want to die?

He gestured to the remaining two thugs, "Damn it, bleed this guy out!"

The two thugs immediately revealed a fierce look in their eyes, drew short knives from their waists, and charged at Ye Bufan.

The people around them were immediately worried for Ye Bufan. These young thugs were ruthless and not to be trifled with.

The two thugs came up to Ye Bufan and stabbed their knives without hesitation.

But soon, they felt a sharp pain in their arms. Somehow, their knives had stabbed into their own forearms.

"Ah..."

The two thugs clutched their injured arms and screamed like pigs being slaughtered.

Ye Bufan kicked Xiaohuangmao away and walked towards Moxigan Tou.

Seeing that the young man had effortlessly dealt with three of his men, Moxigan Tou panicked and took a few steps back, nervously saying, "Y-You... What are you going to do? I-I’m with Old Ma Jiu..."

Before he could finish, Ye Bufan raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

There was a crisp sound, and Moxigan Tou spun around several times, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with teeth.

"You damn dare to hit me, I’m Old Ma Jiu’s man..."

"Slap... Slap... Slap..."

Ye Bufan slapped him several times, and Moxigan Tou’s face instantly swelled up like a pig's head. He finally shut up, realizing he had encountered a formidable opponent.

At this moment, Ouyang Lan finally came to her senses. She hurriedly pulled Ye Bufan and said, "Son, stop, we can’t afford to provoke these people."

Seeing Ouyang Lan’s fear, Moxigan Tou seemed to regain some confidence and mumbled, "I’m telling you, if you offend Old Ma Jiu, you won’t be able to stay here..."

"Shut up..."

Ye Bufan kicked him to the ground and turned to his mother, saying, "Mom, don’t worry, I’ll handle this today."

Ouyang Lan hesitated and said, "Alright, son, be careful, don’t make things worse."

Ye Bufan nodded and turned to the four thugs, pointing at the scattered buns on the ground, "Who did this?"

Feeling the killing intent emanating from him, Moxigan Tou and the others were terrified. They had lost their earlier arrogance and dared not speak.

"If you don’t say, I’ll break all your legs," Ye Bufan said, walking towards the four thugs.

"Brother, no, I’ll talk..." The thugs were thoroughly frightened and knew he was serious. Three of them pointed at Xiaohuangmao, "It was him, he kicked them."

"I... I... I..."

Xiaohuangmao was filled with regret. If he had known this young man was so powerful, he wouldn’t have stepped forward. Now he was in trouble.

Ye Bufan walked up to him and said coldly, "Which leg did you use?"

Feeling the killing intent, Xiaohuangmao was almost scared out of his wits. He pointed to his right leg, "R-Right... Right... Right leg..."

Before he could finish, there was a crisp sound, and his right leg was broken by Ye Bufan’s kick.

Xiaohuangmao clutched his broken leg and screamed in agony.

The people around were stunned. Some knew Ye Bufan, some didn’t, but none of them expected him to be so ruthless.

Ye Bufan was usually easy-going and rarely got angry, but his mother, who had raised him with great hardship, was his Achilles' heel. He would not allow anyone to bully her.

Moreover, these thugs had been bullying the good people, extorting protection fees, and oppressing the weak. This was the punishment they deserved.

Moxigan Tou had seen Ye Bufan’s ruthlessness. For people like them, life was more important than face, so he quickly said, "Brother, we were wrong, we were blind. Please let us off this time."

"I can let you off," Ye Bufan said, pointing at the buns on the ground, "But you have to eat all these buns."

"This..."

Moxigan Tou hesitated. The buns were covered in dust, and some had fallen into the gutter. How could they eat such dirty things?

"If you don’t eat them, what were you thinking when you wasted the food?" Ye Bufan’s gaze swept over the four, "Eat the buns or I’ll cripple all of you. Choose."

"I’ll eat, brother, please don’t hurt me, I’ll eat..." Moxigan Tou knew the young man was serious and grabbed a bun, stuffing it into his mouth.

The other thugs dared not hesitate and grabbed the buns, eating them in large bites.

"These bastards, they deserve it..."

"We’ve been bullied by them so much, this young man has done us a favor..."

"These animals kick people’s stalls all the time, today they got what they deserved..."

Seeing the fate of the four thugs, the onlookers felt a sense of satisfaction, not a hint of sympathy.

Ouyang Lan’s buns were large, substantial, and genuine. After each of the thugs ate four or five, they were struggling to continue.

Looking at the remaining twenty or so buns, Moxigan Tou said with a pained expression, "Brother, we really can’t eat any more. Can we take them home and eat them later?"

Ye Bufan said, "You must eat them all. If you leave one, I’ll break one of your legs!"

"Uh..."

The four thugs were dumbfounded but dared not say a word, continuing to swallow the buns one by one.

After ten minutes, their bellies were bulging, and the buns on the ground were all gone.

From now on, they would probably have a psychological shadow and never eat buns again.

"Brother, can we go now?"

Moxigan Tou spoke in a low voice, afraid to open his mouth wide, fearing he would vomit the buns.

He secretly vowed never to eat buns again in his life.

Ye Bufan said, "Want to leave? Pay for the buns first. You can’t eat and run."

Moxigan Tou took out a hundred-yuan note and said, "Brother, here’s the money for the buns, no need for change."

Ye Bufan said coldly, "Not enough, 100 yuan is only enough for one bun."

Moxigan Tou exclaimed, "What? That’s too expensive. Usually, they cost one yuan each!"

Ye Bufan said, "My mother’s buns are worth that much. Is there a problem?"
