Chapter 180: Da D Comes Knocking

Quanwan, at the clothing factory entrance.

Both sides' forces are confronting each other.

One side is Da D's troops; Da D himself leads the team, with over four hundred people behind him.

Opposite Da D, Li Jie and Da Dou stand at the front, with three to four hundred people behind them as well.

Just by numbers, they are not much fewer than Da D's side.

But many among them are older, and half are women.

These people, aside from the special forces led by Li Jie and the over a hundred trainee subordinates, are all workers of the clothing factory.

Before Chen Mo bought this factory, they were its workers; later Lai Kuanhong owed two months' wages, the factory halted, and they were effectively collectively unemployed.

After Chen Mo bought the factory, he gave them jobs again and even back‑paid the overdue wages.

They cherish this hard‑won employment opportunity.

At the sound of anyone coming to cause trouble at the factory, even if the other side is the Triad Society, they still step out, volunteering to defend the factory.

Putting aside whether they can fight, their morale is in no way inferior to the other side.

Da Dou looks at Da D across the way and says sternly, "Da D, I advise you to withdraw your men now; otherwise, when Mo Ge arrives with his men, you won't be able to leave."

It should be noted that Da Dou once served as a big brother under Chen Mo, so his aura still carries some weight.

Da D snorts coldly.

"Chen Mo is impressive! What can he do even if he comes?"

"My two thousand Da D brothers can clear all of Quanwan; would I fear him?"

Da D, with an arrogant look at Da Dou and Li Jie, says coldly, "All of Quanwan is my territory; if you set up a factory on my turf, you must pay me protection money—that's the underworld rule.

If you don't pay protection money and still expect to run your factory peacefully, you dream on!"

"You want protection money, huh? Fine, name a figure!" Da Dou glances toward the distance; Chen Mo hasn't arrived yet.

Now they can only stall, waiting for Chen Mo to bring reinforcements.

Da D, hearing Da Dou is willing to pay, grins and says, "Alright, for a factory of your size, I charge a protection fee of one million per month. No problem, right?"

Da Dou frowns, "Are you messing with me?"

One million a month is not just nonsense; it's outright absurd.

The clothing factory's net profit is only two to three million per month, so paying a million is impossible.

"What's wrong with messing with you! Do you think your status gives you the right to talk to me?"

Da D sneers contemptuously.

Da D's goal has never been to collect protection money; he has his sights on the factory.

A factory that makes several million profit each month, along with a large parcel of land, is priceless.

Da D has already cleared Quanwan, and now knows this factory belongs to Great Prosperity's Chen Mo, so he won't let go of this juicy piece.

Usually, when the Triad Society targets a factory, it sends its men to cause trouble, harass, sabotage, and force the other side to halt production.

Once the factory struggles to operate, loses business, and can't cover operating costs, they keep pressuring and bribing until they buy the factory at a low price.

Da D originally planned to use this method to gradually acquire the factory.

But when his men first came to cause trouble, over a hundred trainees from the nearby training ground rushed out and beat his men.

So now he personally leads several hundred men.

Although he already knows Chen Mo has many capable subordinates.

But this is Quanwan, his territory.

Moreover, Da D has just recently cleared Quanwan, and is in a proud mood.

His personal involvement makes it far more than mere trouble‑making!

"You have three minutes; your men get out, this factory is mine. Otherwise, I won't be polite."

"Hmph, do you think this factory is some toy? Just because you bring people in, does it become yours?"

Da Dou finds Da D's words downright laughable.

"No problem; once my men get into the factory, I can naturally make it mine!"

As long as we occupy the factory, the machines, and can produce clothes, that's enough.

Even if the factory is under Chen Mo's name, later we can spend some money, pull some strings, and have the legal entity transferred to us.

He doesn't believe a Triad Society big brother like Chen Mo would lower his face to call the police.

Da Dou slowly steps toward Li Jie.

"Brother Jie, with so many on the other side, can we win?"

Li Jie shakes his head, whispering, "It's hard to fight. We're too few, and our weapons are lacking."

These trainee subordinates have only been here a few days, learned almost nothing, and aren't much stronger than ordinary street thugs.

Moreover, the training ground lacks many weapons; many people only hold wooden sticks.

Da D's henchmen wield various machetes.

That's a huge disadvantage.

Unless we pull out the hidden arms from the training ground.

But that would make the incident too big.

"When can Mo Ge arrive?"

"Calculate the time; even at best it'll take five minutes. If a fight breaks out later, try to hold on as long as possible!"

Saying that, Da Dou wipes the cold sweat from his forehead, unfastens his cuff, rolls up his sleeve, ready to act.

Seeing Da Dou's actions, Da D understands his intention and sneers.

"Looks like you want to fight us, then?"

"You think you can seize our factory? That's impossible, unless you step over my corpse!"

"If you refuse the toast, you drink the penalty wine!"

Just as Da D was about to give the order for his men to act, a loud "Beep—" car horn sounded from behind.

Then, accompanied by a screeching brake, a black Tiger‑Head Run performed a sleek drift and stopped on the vacant ground between Da D and Da Dou Li Jie.

The car door opened, Chen Mo stepped out and faced Da D directly.

"Da D, who do you intend to make drink the penalty wine!"

"Mo Ge, you're here!" Da Dou said with delight.

Chen Mo turned to look at Da Dou and Li Jie, and nodded at the two.

"Well done. Da Dou, send the workers back; this month their wages are doubled."

"Alright, Mo Ge!"

"Chen Mo!" Da D roared in anger.

Chen Mo actually didn't take him seriously and started chatting with his subordinates!

Da D felt slighted.

"You've got some nerve, coming here alone! Aren't you afraid you'll die here?"

Chen Mo looked at Da D, then glanced at the henchmen behind him, his gaze full of unabashed contempt.

"With just these few of you, you think you can kill me?"

Even Wolf‑tooth Abu can take on a hundred, and Chen Ling taking on four hundred is no problem.

Of course, Chen Mo had no intention of actually fighting four hundred people alone; that would be too perverse.

He didn't want to attract that much attention.

"Da D, Great Prosperity and Lian Sheng have always kept to themselves, you stirring up trouble in my factory—are you trying to provoke Great Prosperity? Do you and Lian Sheng want to start a war with us Great Prosperity?"

Whether we fight or not, first let's pin a big hat on Da D.

In any case, the logic must be on our side.
