Chapter 250: Can't Swallow This Insult

"Jin Kelai, you can leave now."

Zhou Lang looked at Jin Kelai and said calmly. To him, snapping Jin Kelai's arm was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Zhu Yan, however, was terrified. She knew Jin Kelai's background; his father, Jin Shengshui, was the director of the Health Bureau and was said to have connections in the provincial government—a formidable figure. Now that Zhou Lang had broken Jin Kelai's arm, she worried that things would spiral out of control.

"Kid, do you think today's business will end just like this? The police will be here to arrest you soon!"

Jin Kelai endured the pain as he climbed up from the floor, glaring at Zhou Lang. He hadn't expected Zhou Lang to be so skilled, which was why he had suffered such a loss. He wanted nothing more than to kill Zhou Lang now, but he didn't have the guts to fight him again.

"I was merely acting in self-defense. I would have called the police myself if you hadn't."

Zhou Lang said, "Look at your ugly mug. You think you can win Zhu Yan's favor like this? Brother tells you, that's not how you pick up girls."

"You… you… you'll find out how you're going to die in a moment…"

Jin Kelai used his other uninjured hand to take out a phone and immediately made a call. However, he wasn't calling the police; he was calling someone from the underground world.

"Is that Little Tiger? Brother has been beaten up. Get to Private Room 8 at the Jasmine Chinese Restaurant and bring a few dozen men immediately!" Jin Kelai shouted into the phone.

"Brother, how dare they! I'm bringing men over right now," a voice came from the phone.

Immediately, Jin Kelai hung up the phone, pointed at Zhou Lang, and said, "Kid, if you've got guts, don't run. Not that you could even if you wanted to; my men will be here soon."

"Jin Kelai, I won't wait around specifically for you to call your people, but I haven't finished my meal yet, so I definitely won't be leaving within the next half hour. Whether you want to call the police or someone from the underground world to settle this, you'll have to do it within this half hour. Judging by what you said earlier, you're even more arrogant than the Feiyun City Party Secretary. Surely you can't fail to get people here within half an hour, right?"

Zhou Lang smiled disdainfully, then said to Zhu Yan, who had already stood up, "Let's eat. Don't let this bastard ruin our good mood."

"Brother Lang, we should leave."

Zhu Yan said with some fear. She only knew that Zhou Lang was mysterious, but she had no idea if he could handle a second-generation official like this.

"Don't worry. With me here, no one in this world can bully you." Zhou Lang said confidently.

Looking at Zhou Lang's confident gaze, a warm current surged in Zhu Yan's heart. Suddenly, she wasn't afraid at all, because she felt protected.

"Brother Lang, what you said earlier about being my boyfriend… was that real?" Zhu Yan sat down next to Zhou Lang and asked with deep affection.

"Of course it's real."

To keep Jin Kelai from harassing Zhu Yan anymore, Zhou Lang had to grit his teeth and say it. He was still wondering how to explain it to Zhu Yan later.

"That's great, Brother Lang," Zhu Yan said happily. If it weren't for that bastard Jin Kelai being there, she probably would have been happy enough to kiss Zhou Lang on the cheek.

"Brother Lang, is that waitress okay?" Zhu Yan then looked worriedly at the waitress, who was still knocked out on the floor by Jin Kelai, and asked Zhou Lang.

"She just fainted temporarily. It's nothing serious; she should wake up in a few minutes," Zhou Lang said.

"Then I can rest easy." Zhu Yan had absolute faith in Zhou Lang's Medical Skills. Since he said so, she felt relieved.

"Zhu Yan… you…"

Seeing Zhu Yan and Zhou Lang acting all lovey-dovey, Jin Kelai was so angry his face turned pale.

He was a notorious playboy in Feiyun City, but when he accompanied his father, the director of the Health Bureau, Jin Shengshui, to the City Peoples Hospital for a check-up a while ago, he saw Zhu Yan and was immediately stunned by her beauty, falling for her instantly.

All hospitals in Feiyun City were under the jurisdiction of the Health Bureau. Jin Kelai was also quite handsome, so he thought picking up a beauty from one of his father's subordinate units would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, he went directly to Vice President Luo Qingyu of the City Peoples Hospital to get Zhu Yan's phone number and launched a pursuit.

Out of politeness and a desire not to offend the Health Bureau director, Zhu Yan met with this Young Master. After learning that he wanted to pursue her, she immediately and politely refused him.

Jin Kelai refused to give up, calling Zhu Yan almost every day and even running to the hospital to harass her.

Zhu Yan was miserable, but she had no choice. After all, Jin Kelai's father, Jin Shengshui, was the director of the Health Bureau. Offending such a person would not only cost her her job but could also bring great trouble to the hospital, which was something Zhu Yan did not want to see.

Finally, having no other choice, Zhu Yan told Jin Kelai that she was naturally uninterested in men.

Upon hearing this, Jin Kelai retreated on the surface, but the good-for-nothing guy secretly followed Zhu Yan every day to see if she was associating with any men.

For a long time, Zhu Yan lived alone, and Jin Kelai began to believe her words. He thought to himself that if he got a woman who didn't like men, she would just lie in bed like a corpse when brought home, so what would be the point?

Therefore, Jin Kelai planned to give up. Unexpectedly, today he discovered that Zhu Yan hadn't gone home after work but had dressed up and come to this Jasmine Chinese Restaurant. He drove after her and ended up seeing Zhu Yan eating with Zhou Lang. Seeing them acting like they were in love, his anger flared up, and he stormed into the private room.

…

"Jin Kelai, we are eating. Please be quiet. If you don't shut up, I will knock out your teeth. I'm not a nice person."

Zhou Lang smiled, poured two more glasses of red wine, and handed one to Zhu Yan.

Seeing Zhou Lang so calm, Zhu Yan didn't mention leaving anymore; instead, she picked up her glass and drank with Zhou Lang.

In truth, deep down, she was a very bold girl. It was just that her life path had been too simple and ordinary until now, and her personality hadn't been brought out.

"Waitress… Waitress!"

Jin Kelai was so angry he nearly vomited blood. He started shouting outside. The people he had called from the underground world hadn't arrived yet, so he could only call the restaurant staff first.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Soon, two waitresses ran over. One of the thinner waitresses asked Jin Kelai, while the other, slightly plump one, crouched down to check on the waitress who had been knocked out by Jin Kelai earlier.

"Get your boss here immediately."

Jin Kelai shouted loudly. His wrist had been broken and was hurting like hell, but he didn't want to just leave because he was worried that if he left, Zhou Lang would leave too. Whether he could find Zhou Lang again was unpredictable, so he had to keep Zhou Lang blocked here.

"Sir, you need an appointment to see our boss. Why don't you just call him yourself?"

The slightly plump waitress said. She still didn't understand why her colleague was passed out on the floor or why this tall, flashily dressed customer was shouting here. Naturally, she wouldn't let such a customer see her boss; after all, the restaurant owner was a person of status and not someone just anyone could meet.

"You're looking for a beating, aren't you? My old man is the director of the Health Bureau. Call your Boss Liu and tell him to get out here immediately, or I'll have your restaurant's health permit revoked."

Jin Kelai became even more arrogant, pointing at the slightly plump waitress and shouting.

The power of the Health Bureau was neither big nor small, but making trouble for hospital and restaurant owners was a piece of cake. There was no need to mention hospitals, but every restaurant needed a health permit. If you offended the director of the Health Bureau, they could just send a few inspections, find evidence that your hygiene was substandard, revoke your health permit, and that would be the end of your business.

"I told you to shut up, but you wouldn't listen. If you want to shout, go outside and shout." Zhou Lang waved his hand, and the red wine bottle cap instantly flew out.

The bottle cap was light, but at this moment, it was as fast as a bullet, and naturally, it had lethality.

"Ah!"

Jin Kelai let out a miserable scream immediately, then covered his mouth and spat out a bloody tooth.

Zhu Yan and the two waitresses widened their eyes and opened their mouths in shock. A bottle cap had actually knocked out a tooth? Hadn't Zhou Lang reached the level of injuring people with a plucked leaf? This was practically a superman.

"Kid, just you wait."

But in his rage, Jin Kelai didn't realize this. He threw out a harsh threat and temporarily left the private room.

"Your colleague was knocked out by that person just now. You should take her out first. Pinch her philtrum a few times, and she will wake up," Zhou Lang said to the two waitresses.

"Sir, we are terribly sorry for running into such a person."

After the slightly plump waitress apologized to Zhou Lang, she and her companion helped the unconscious waitress off the floor and took her out together.

Inside the private room, only Zhou Lang and Zhu Yan were left again.

"Brother Lang, won't there be trouble? This Jin Kelai's father really is the director of the Health Bureau."

Zhu Yan started to worry a bit. Seeing Jin Kelai's furious appearance, she felt that today's incident might escalate. No matter how bold she was, this was her first time encountering such a situation, and she felt uneasy inside.

"Don't worry. I, Zhou Lang, don't have many skills, but I do have the ability to slap a second-generation official like this in the face," Zhou Lang smiled. "Eat something first. Once people arrive, we probably won't have time to eat anything."

…

Outside the private room, Boss Liu, the owner of the Jasmine Chinese Restaurant, had appeared, along with several security guards.

Boss Liu was in his forties, with a potbelly, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Boss Liu, help me control the man and woman in there first."

By this time, Jin Kelai had revealed his identity. Last year, he and his father, Jin Shengshui, had come here for an inspection, so Boss Liu knew him.

Jin Kelai wanted to control Zhou Lang before the people he had called arrived, because he really couldn't swallow this insult.

"Young Master Jin, after all, they are here as customers. It wouldn't look good if I controlled them directly. I'd better help you call the police and let the police handle this matter."

Boss Liu said with some difficulty. He was in business; guests were guests. If he detained people who hadn't caused trouble in his establishment, it would definitely affect the restaurant's reputation and, consequently, his business.
