"Based on what right do you prevent me from meeting Fan Chan? What authority do you have to do this? Just because you're from the Public Security Bureau? What does it have to do with you if I date her?" The young man, somewhat intimidated by the other party's aggressive demeanor, felt his innate fiery temper flare up again when he saw his girlfriend sobbing pitifully beside him. Xu Yang couldn't hold back his anger any longer and let it out.
Lu Weimin felt a surge of anger. Although he had seen various examples of arrogance and tyranny in the media in his previous life, this was the first time he had witnessed such blatant bullying in person.
"Hey? You little brat, you still dare to talk back?! I'll beat you to death!" The man suddenly jumped up and slapped him. Perhaps due to excessive drinking, his movements were somewhat clumsy. Xu Yang dodged the slap, and the man immediately started cursing, "Damn, you can't even hold him? Drag him out, I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"
Two men in police uniforms roughly dragged Xu Yang out to a secluded alley. The girl, seeing this, was stunned. She tried to stop the two police officers but felt powerless, crying and running back to shout, "Qin Lei, Qin Lei, let Xu Yang go, I'll agree to date you, okay?! Quickly let Xu Yang go!"
Lu Weimin glanced at Su Yanqing, whose face was ashen and eyes blazing with anger. He suppressed his inner rage and rushed forward, "Stop!"
The two police officers, who were almost dragging Xu Yang to the alley entrance, turned around instinctively at the angry shout. Lu Weimin had already rushed forward, pushing one of them away and twisting the other's arm, causing the man to cry out in pain and release his grip.
"Director Lu!" Xu Yang felt a lump in his throat. This was the first time he had genuinely called Lu Weimin "Director." Usually, he sometimes called him "Lu Weimin," "Little Director Lu," or "Director Lu," but deep down, he was somewhat reluctant. A university graduate, even from a prestigious university, was still just like him. Although Lu Weimin's performance gradually won him over, it was still difficult for him to willingly call this guy, who was a year younger than him, "Director." Most of the time, he avoided addressing him.
"You damn bastard, you're rebelling!" The man, still red-faced from drinking, was momentarily dazed but quickly became furious. He lunged forward with a punch, trying to catch Lu Weimin off guard, and shouted to his companions, "Grab this guy!"
Lu Weimin didn't expect the man to be so arrogant and attack without a word. He dodged, evaded the punch, and gently pushed the man, causing him to stumble backward a few steps. If not for his companions holding him, he would have rolled on the ground.
"Da Min?!" The young man supporting the drunk man was stunned and called out instinctively.
"Xu Bing?" Lu Weimin was also taken aback, not expecting to encounter his classmate in such a situation. After the class reunion, he had been extremely busy, and with Guo Huazhang leaving Nantang, he had little contact with other classmates, including this one from the Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team.
"Xu Bing, do you know this guy?!" The man, regaining his footing, spat out a mouthful of alcohol.
"Brother Qin, he's my high school classmate, Lu Weimin." Xu Bing looked helpless. Whenever he went out with Captain Qin, trouble was inevitable. But who could blame him for having a special family background? No matter how many problems arose, someone would always clean up the mess.
"Hmph, your classmate? Don't say I didn't warn you. No one can help him today, even if he's your brother. I have to teach him a lesson today, to make him understand that he needs to be more cautious when he's out!" The man's face, swollen and purple from alcohol, looked menacing. His pride was hurt by a young man he didn't know, and he imagined how many people were watching him from the shadows. This made his anger almost boil over. He rolled up his sleeves and waved his hand, signaling his companions, "Damn, if I don't beat you so badly that even your mother can't recognize you, I won't be surnamed Qin!"
"If you're not surnamed Qin, you must be surnamed Beast, worse than a beast!" Lu Weimin's voice was calm but filled with anger. He knew what was happening without guessing. Xu Yang had mentioned his girlfriend and the harassment from a Public Security Bureau officer, who had threatened him to break up with her. Lu Weimin hadn't taken it seriously then, but he didn't expect to witness it firsthand. "The reputation of the Public Security Bureau is being tarnished by scum like you!"
Lu Weimin's last words made the other two men, who were about to attack, hesitate slightly.
In such a situation, mentioning the reputation of the Public Security Bureau was not something an ordinary person would do. If it were an ordinary person, they would either threaten to report it or curse the other party. The way Lu Weimin spoke, elevating the issue to the image of the Public Security Bureau, made these seasoned police officers sense something.
"Xu Bing, what does your classmate do?" A man in plain clothes with a thin face whispered.
"He used to be Secretary to County Chief Shen, but he didn't stay in that position for long." Although Lu Weimin didn't pay much attention to his classmates, Xu Bing was very interested in his classmate's situation.
"Secretary to County Chief Shen?" The two men who had been with Xu Bing didn't initially intervene, only helping to steady Qin Lei. They seemed to have some reservations about Qin Lei's actions. It wasn't until Qin Lei stumbled that they stepped in to support him.
"Damn, you're tired of living, daring to provoke me! Beat him hard, I'll take responsibility for any trouble!"
The man, fueled by anger and alcohol, didn't pay attention to Lu Weimin's words. Even if he had noticed, he wouldn't have cared. He just wanted to teach this insolent young man a lesson. In Nantang County, no one had ever dared to challenge him like this. If he didn't make an example of this guy today, he would lose his standing in Nantang.
