Chapter 683 - 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.
