The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 683: Chapter 0685: Conflict Arises

In the police station, after completing the statements of two individuals according to convention, the police officer left. Lin Zhang was the last one to give his statement; when he came out of the room, the furniture store owner was already audaciously waiting outside.

Lin Zhang had guessed earlier that a man who could own such a large furniture store must be involved with both underworld and mainstream society. Coming out now and seeing the owner chatting warmly with a junior police officer only reinforced Lin Zhang’s belief that this was not a good man.

The furniture store owner had a bad temper. Initially, it was Lin Zhang’s son, Lin Zhao, who had caused trouble at his shop, and his son’s debts had not yet been settled. Now the father had come to cause more trouble, not just causing trouble but even picking a fight with him.

The furniture store owner now regretted his actions. He didn’t regret anything else, just that he had ended up fighting with someone like Lin Zhang who was clearly a ruffian. After all, if the son was like that, the father wouldn’t be much better.

"Damn it!" The owner was cracking sunflower seeds, and just as Lin Zhang passed by, he spat out a shell.

Lin Zhang was already displeased with the owner, and seeing him spit out the shell as he walked by felt like a provocation.

"What do you mean by that!" Lin Zhang, furious, ran up to the owner, slapped the table, disregarding the pain in his hand, and glared at the owner as if to seem more imposing.

The owner had not done it on purpose, but Lin Zhang’s roar made him lose face. After all, he was an owner and a person of influence. How could he settle for being yelled at by a bully like Lin Zhang?

"What have I done to you?" The owner raised an eyebrow and started cracking sunflower seeds again, deliberately spitting the shells towards Lin Zhang’s feet, truly provoking him this time.

"You bastard, don’t think you’re incredible just because you have some dirty money. I can kill you," Lin Zhang said, shoving the owner hard. The owner, used to a life of leisure and although he occasionally worked out, had muscles just for show. In a fight, he was no match for someone experienced like Lin Zhang.

Although Lin Zhang might not have been as robust as the owner, he was an old hand at fighting. Just looking at his son Lin Zhao, you could tell what kind of man he was. With agile movements, he pushed the owner forcefully and quickly moved back. noveldrama

"Hey, getting all worked up, are we? Today I won’t stop until you’re down on the ground looking for your teeth," the owner roared back, completely provoked by Lin Zhang, and came off the table ready to fight him.

The on-duty junior police officer, utterly shocked, watched the two go at it and hurriedly yelled: "Stop, both of you stop! This is a police station, not the street. If you want to fight, don’t do it here, stop right now!"

But neither Lin Zhang nor the owner were ordinary people; one considered himself a big brother with connections in both the underworld and mainstream society, the other was a fearless and shameless ruffian. Once these two came together, it was impossible not to have a showdown.

"Tell me, did you mess with my son behind my back?" After circling the room, the owner finally caught Lin Zhang, and using his strength, held him tightly.

Lin Zhang struggled a bit, realizing he couldn’t free himself and gave up. Only then did he remember why he had come to find the owner in the first place—it was all because of his son. If his son hadn’t been put on the list of dishonest debtors, he wouldn’t have come to the owner, and they wouldn’t have ended up in the police station due to the fight.

Earlier at the furniture store, Lin Zhang, blinded by rage, had only focused on fighting the owner’s men and forgotten his real purpose. Now he suddenly reflected on it and naturally held on to the owner to ask for clarity.

The owner was completely confused and responded directly: "What do I know about your son? I’m not his father. You’re his father; don’t you know what your son is like? You come asking me? Let me tell you, even if I don’t mess with him, there are plenty of others who will. It’s your fault for not raising him right."

This choked Lin Zhang, raising his son was his business, not this man’s. Moreover, the man’s defensive tone was surely a sign of his guilt. His son was fine, and there was nothing wrong with his upbringing.

"Why is my son on the list of dishonest debtors? Was it you who sabotaged him behind the scenes?" Lin Zhang turned around, grabbed the owner by the collar, and demanded aggressively.

The owner smirked disdainfully, "Your son? Like I said, I don’t have the time to mess with him. There are plenty who would want to, you’re the only one who treasures him so much. If it were my son, I would have beaten him to death by now."

"Damn you, you old bastard, I’ll beat you to death!" The owner’s words completely infuriated Lin Zhang. Although a ruffian and a bully, Lin Zhang was also a father. He could beat and scold his son all he wanted, but no one else could.

"Bring it on; it’s not sure who will win. With your puny frame, you dare fight me?" The owner, not to be outdone, and after a brief pause, was once again entangled in a fight with Lin Zhang.

The duty officer had a headache, his voice hoarse from shouting. The two men paid him no heed as he paced the room, wanting to break up the fight but hesitating upon seeing their fierce brawl.

In reality, between the furniture store owner and Lin Zhang, rather than saying they were fighting, it was more of a one-sided beating by the owner.

Earlier, at the furniture store, the owner had two or three bodyguards, each a real fighter, not just for show like his muscles. Lin Zhang had some fighting experience, but not professionally. Compared to these seasoned fighters, he was naturally at a disadvantage.

Plus, Lin Zhang was alone, while there were two or three bodyguards on the other side. Initially, the owner had planned to send one person to teach Lin Zhang a lesson, but Lin Zhang’s attitude was so bad that, in a fit of rage, the owner sent three men to beat him. Lin Zhang was no match for these three, and ended up taking quite a few punches.

Fortunately, the police arrived on time and Lin Zhang, his son, the owner, and the fighters were all taken to the station. He could have rested for a while, but now he had clashed with the owner, and the two were tearing at each other again.
