112: The arrogant and domineering young master Zhang

Lin Zifeng and Chen Yuxi did not notice that a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five, on his way back to the Private Room from the restroom, had spotted the radiant Chen Yuxi at a glance.

Upon seeing Chen Yuxi, this young man could not take his eyes off her. His eyes lit up, and he stared at Chen Yuxi without blinking.

It was not until the two finished their lunch and stood up to leave that the young man came to his senses and subconsciously walked toward them.

Lin Zifeng was walking in front, and just as he finished paying the bill, the young man arrived at their side.

Without even glancing at Lin Zifeng, he stared intently at Chen Yuxi, extended his hand, and said in a slightly lewd manner: "Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Zhang Zhenyue, and I am the son of County Magistrate Zhang. The moment I saw you, I was stunned by your heavenly beauty. Let's get to know each other properly!"

The man's gaze made Chen Yuxi very uncomfortable, so she subconsciously took a step back and said in a flustered tone: "I don't know you, and I don't want to get to know you."

Just as the man was about to step forward, Lin Zifeng moved in front of Chen Yuxi, looked at the other party coldly, and said: "What do you want? Please do not disturb my friend."

The commotion here attracted the attention of other guests, who looked over curiously, eager to watch the spectacle.

"Kid, get out of the way. I'm talking to the beauty; this has nothing to do with you. Be smart, or else I'll make you regret it."

Zhang Zhenyue said arrogantly.

Just then, the four people who were eating with Zhang Zhenyue, seeing that he had not returned to the Private Room for such a long time, sent one person out to check on the situation.

Seeing that Zhang Zhenyue was about to get into a conflict, the person called out to the Private Room, and the four of them quickly arrived behind Zhang Zhenyue, asking one after another: "Brother Zhang, what's going on here?"

Zhang Zhenyue became even more arrogant, clamoring: "I want to get to know this beautiful lady, and this pretty boy is getting in my way."

"I don't know you, and I don't want to know you. Zifeng, let's go. There's no need to pay attention to this annoying guy."

Seeing that the other side had many people, Chen Yuxi was afraid that a conflict would break out and that her lover would suffer.

After saying this, she grabbed Lin Zifeng's arm and wanted to leave. Lin Zifeng also did not want to pay attention to this self-righteous second-generation official in front of him.

He had already guessed the other party's identity because there was only one Deputy County Mayor in the county who was not a Standing Committee Member and whose surname was Zhang; that was the Deputy County Mayor in charge of agriculture, Zhang Linhua.

The Zhang Zhenyue in front of him must be the son of Zhang Linhua.

To tell the truth, he really did not care much about a Deputy County Mayor who was not a Standing Committee Member. With his current momentum, his influence had long surpassed that of an ordinary deputy section-level Cadre.

The other party was about the same age as him, yet gave him the illusion of being a junior. So, seeing that the other party was drunk, he did not want to argue with him and turned around, preparing to leave with Chen Yuxi.

However, Zhang Zhenyue was not prepared to let it go. He shouted: "Stop right there! Did I let you leave?"

Lin Zifeng was also a young man; no matter how much self-restraint he had, he still had a temper.

He had been prepared to let the matter rest, yet the other party was so unrelenting. Even the guests on the side who were criticizing Zhang Zhenyue had been intimidated by the group.

He was incensed and turned around, looking at the other party coldly, and said in an icy tone: "What do you want? Do you intend to forcefully seize a woman in broad daylight? If you are drunk, go home. I will not argue with a drunkard. Go home and ask your father, Zhang Linhua, if he knows that you are so arrogant and domineering, viewing the law as nothing? If you dare to pester us again, you had better ask your father first if he can protect you."

Hearing him call his father by his full name, Zhang Zhenyue calmed down a bit. After all, there were not many people who could immediately identify the status of him and his father.

They were either people very close to their family or people within the system.

And judging by his attitude, he should not be afraid of his father's status; otherwise, he would not have such confidence.

Just as Zhang Zhenyue was lost in thought and in a bit of a dilemma, a young man behind him cursed arrogantly: "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk to Brother Zhang like that? And you even dare to call out the name of Brother Zhang's father. Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when the wind blows?"

"I think it is you whose tongue will be bitten by the wind. Get out of the way, all of you, or else I will have you all arrested and reflect on yourselves properly."

A stern and booming voice sounded from behind the group.

Several people turned to the side to look at the speaker.

Zhang Zhenyue's followers were just about to scold and abuse the speaker, but were quickly stopped by Zhang Zhenyue, who stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "Director Zhu, I didn't expect you to be eating here too?"

The person speaking was none other than the Bureau Chief of the County Public Security Bureau, Zhu Yushan.

He had come to eat with his family and had just walked out of the Private Room when he noticed the two sides involved in the verbal conflict and saw the whole process.

He was not at all unfamiliar with Lin Zifeng, this rising star in the officialdom of Yushu County.

He had a good relationship with Zhang Linhua, and the two families were very familiar with each other. He knew that if the situation were allowed to develop further, the one to suffer would definitely be Zhang Zhenyue's side.

Even if Zhang Linhua joined forces with him, they would not be able to shake Lin Zifeng, let alone the fact that in this matter, Lin Zifeng was completely in the right.

That bastard kid, Zhang Zhenyue, must have had too much to drink and let his lust take over, setting his sights on someone else's female companion—he was truly courting death!

Based on comprehensive considerations, he quickly spoke up to stop them.

He did not give a good look to Zhang Zhenyue as he walked over, and even slapped him hard on the back of the head, scolding: "You troublemaking bastard, you are simply too lawless. If it were not for the fact that you are drunk and have not caused any serious consequences, I would have someone arrest and detain you right now."

Only then did he change his expression, come to Lin Zifeng with a smile on his face, extend his hands first, and say with a smile: "Secretary Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here. It is our public security work that has not been done well! I have let you and this lady suffer a grievance."

"It really is quite a coincidence, Director Zhu. You do not need to blame yourself for what just happened; what place does not have a few scoundrels? We are all people of Yushu County; encountering such things is understandable and tolerable. However, this son of County Magistrate Zhang really should not have provoked Ms. Chen Yuxi, who is by my side. Ms. Chen Yuxi is not only my friend, but also a representative of an Investor from the provincial capital. This person called Zhang Zhenyue, with the image of a playboy, insisted on coming over to harass the representative of the Investor. To put it mildly, he is destroying the investment environment of Yushu County; to put it seriously, he is provoking trouble. Judging by his posture just now, if Ms. Chen Yuxi had not agreed to date and be friends with him, he would have wanted to force her. What kind of behavior is this? To dare to do this in broad daylight, who gave him the confidence? Is it his father, Zhang Linhua?"

He said this sharply while shaking hands with Zhu Yushan.

The reason he said this was because he knew in his heart that this series of actions by Zhu Yushan indicated that his relationship with Zhang Linhua was very good; otherwise, he would have no need to do so.
