It's this kid.

"you......"

Slap, slap, two more loud slaps.

At this moment, Hu Qingqing, who had already broken free, looked up and looked seriously. The next second, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Director Lin!"

Lin Xiao nodded and gestured for her to come behind him.

"You fucking bastard, you're asking for it."

The short-haired man had just gotten up when he was slapped twice more, making his vision blurry. But his furious rage drove him to lunge at Lin Xiao without regard for anything else, and he did so in a "bullfighter" style, head down and ramming into her.

Lin Xiao sneered and then sidestepped, extending her foot to block. The short-haired man staggered again and fell to the ground once more, this time hitting his face hard on the ground.

"Ugh..."

The short-haired man covered his mouth, but blood still seeped through his fingers; one of his teeth had been knocked out. At this moment, besides the physical pain, he also felt hatred for Lin Xiao.

He glared fiercely at Lin Xiao, mumbling incoherently, "You...you son of a bitch, you actually dared...dared to hit me, I...I...you're dead. And you...you slut, I swear I'll...I'll get you...before you sell yourself..."

"Fine, anyone who goes back on their word isn't a man." Lin Xiao clapped his hands and sneered.

Then, he turned to Hu Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, are you alright? How dare this guy harass you in broad daylight? I don't know who gave him the guts. I think he should go in and reflect on his actions for a while!"

"Fine, I'll call the police right now."

The short-haired man took the initiative and dialed a number, saying, "Director Xiao, I've been beaten up, and one of my teeth has been knocked out. I'm on Fuxing Road, so please bring your men over right away."

After hanging up the phone, the short-haired man pointed at Lin Xiao arrogantly and said, "Kid, if you've got the guts, don't run away. See how I deal with you later."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and snapped a few photos of Lin Xiao. Then he confidently declared, "With these photos, even if you run away, you can't escape. I'll still get the police to bring you back. Kid, just wait and see how I play you to death."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qingqing, standing behind Lin Xiao, became even more nervous. She tugged at Lin Xiao's sleeve and gave him a worried look.

Lin Xiao first shook her head at her to indicate that she didn't need to worry, then turned her head and sneered at the short-haired man, thinking to herself that this guy really did have a powerful backer, no wonder he was so bold as to harass a woman in the street.

However, he was not worried at all.

"Hey, if you're really that capable, come and catch me at Jinxing Restaurant. I don't have time to waste here with you." Lin Xiao said, then turned around and gestured for Hu Qingqing to leave with him.

Hu Qingqing still seemed a little worried. She said softly, "Director Lin, should we call the police station? I think..."

"It's okay, let's go eat first."

Lin Xiao shook his head and headed towards the restaurant. Hu Qingqing nodded and followed Lin Xiao.

"Trying to leave? No way! Fine, I'll send someone to catch you." The short-haired man followed behind, taking out his phone and making a call.

Lin Xiao didn't take it seriously and walked straight ahead. Soon they arrived at the restaurant. After asking for directions to the private room, Lin Xiao led Hu Qingqing inside.

The short-haired man followed him to the counter, angrily asked for the specific room number, and then took out his phone to make a call.

Inside the private room, Liu Yun was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Xiao walk in with a beautiful and youthful girl. Then, his face lit up with joy.

"Director Lin, who is this...?"

Seeing Liu Yun winking and making faces, Lin Xiao said calmly, "This is Hu Qingqing from our inspection office. She ran into some trouble on the way, so she came along. Director Liu, is this alright?"

"Director Lin is joking. I didn't say we couldn't bring family members, so please feel free to do as you please..."

Ignoring the eye roll Lin Xiao threw at him, Liu Yun continued, "Welcome, beautiful lady. It's just a few of us men, it couldn't be more monotonous. Your arrival is a great honor."

Hu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, but still politely said, "I'm sorry to bother you all."

At this moment, Lin Xiao took a closer look at the robust and energetic middle-aged man next to Liu Yun. From the moment he entered the room, he had guessed that this man must be Xu Jingnan, the deputy director of the county public security bureau.

When Lin Xiao went to the county bureau with Gong Lei in the morning, Xu Jingnan was not there, so the two did not know each other yet, but Lin Xiao could still feel the unique aura of "outstanding achievements".

"Director Xu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Lin Xiao took the initiative to step forward and greet him, while also extending his hand.

"Director Lin, you're too kind." Xu Jingnan quickly stood up and shook hands with Lin Xiaowo.

After they sat down, Liu Yun poured wine into Lin Xiao and Xu Jingnan's glasses, and then gestured for Hu Qingqing to pour herself some drinks.

"Come on, big..."

Liu Yun raised his wine glass, a broad smile on his face, and was about to offer a toast.

"Bang..."

With a loud bang, the door to the private room was kicked open, and the short-haired man from before stood in the doorway, pointing at Lin Xiao with a ferocious expression, and said, "Director Xiao, this is the kid."

Two people in police uniforms stood one after the other at the door of the private room. The one in front had the words "Auxiliary Police" written on his armband, while the one behind had "Police". The auxiliary policeman in front had a face full of acne, while the one behind looked older.

The auxiliary police officer pulled out a pair of shiny handcuffs and shouted at Lin Xiao, "Kid, have you lost your mind? You even dared to touch Young Master Zhu. Get up and come with me."

Seeing Lin Xiao eating her food without making a sound, without even glancing up, the auxiliary police officer felt his "authority" was greatly challenged and angrily tried to step forward again.

"snort!"

Xu Jingnan, standing to the side, had a dark face and let out a heavy snort. He thought to himself, "Where did this bastard come from? He actually dared to ruin the 'pledge of allegiance' that I had worked so hard to arrange, and he even wanted to handcuff the county magistrate's favorite who came to help me connect with the county magistrate. He must be blind."

"You son of a bitch, I'll even..."

Before the auxiliary police officer could finish speaking, he was kicked by the policeman behind him and scolded, "Get out of here! Are you blind?"

"Huh? Officer Xiao, you..." The auxiliary police officer straightened up again, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"You bastard, this is Xu Jingnan, the deputy director of our county bureau. Are you asking for death? How dare you yell at your superiors like that?"

Clearly, Xu Jingnan's cold snort was indeed heard.

"Deputy Director Xiao, your subordinates are really impressive. If you hadn't been here tonight, I probably would have been handcuffed and taken to your Xiguan Township Police Station. This is truly an eye-opener for me."

"Director Xu, I'm so sorry to have disturbed your meal. That scoundrel is just an auxiliary police officer. He didn't recognize you, so it was... a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Deputy Director Xiao, you seem to be quite the forceful person you are. Is there really something going on? No problem, just tell me, Director Xu and I will listen."

Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, also spoke up. He had met Xiao Yan, the deputy director of the Xiguan Township Police Station, a few times, and found him to be a smooth-talking person.

"Chief Liu, to be honest, we did receive a report before we came, so..."

Xiao Yan certainly recognized Liu Yun. After he finished speaking, he nodded to Liu Yun, but Liu Yun didn't react at all.

However, Liu Yun had only been promoted to director for less than a month, so he naturally didn't take Liu Yun too seriously.

"Even if there's a report, the police should act like one. What kind of logic is kicking down the door? The municipal and county bureaus have always emphasized civilized law enforcement. Is this civilized law enforcement?" Xu Jingnan said with a stern face.

At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up and said coldly, "You're on police duty, right? Well, you've come at the right time. This man is openly harassing women on the street. You need to take him back and interrogate him properly. I don't think he's a first-time offender; he may have other issues on his record."

"this......"

Xiao Yan hesitated!
