Chapter 30

All the way until Xu Junran pulled Yuan Xiaoyue's hand and left, Cheng Hongfa had not come to his senses. His face was pale, as if he had heard something extremely terrifying, and he just stood there in a daze.

Xu Junran was threatening him!

There was no mistake about it. From any angle, Xu Junran's words were clearly a threat to Cheng Hongfa, but Cheng Hongfa did not dare to make any move.

Just as Xu Junran said, if he were just an ordinary county committee staff member, Cheng Hongfa, as the county public security bureau chief, could possibly suppress this matter. However, Xu Junran was a top student from Jinghua University, the person with the highest academic qualifications in the Wude County Committee and County Government, and the soon-to-be deputy secretary of the Lijia Town People's Commune Party Committee. If Cheng Hongfa wanted to do something to Xu Junran at this time, it would be like slapping the face of the Wude County Committee and County Government!

In the political arena, everyone values face. Whether it was Yang Weitian or Yan Wangsong, since they had decided to let Xu Junran take on the position of deputy secretary, it showed their high regard for him. If he provoked Xu Junran at this time, it would be like not giving face to these two leaders.

If you don't give face to the leaders, the leaders won't give face to you!

Although Cheng Hongfa was a playboy, he was not stupid. If he were really a fool, he wouldn't have preferred to lose face and be beaten by Yan Duoduo rather than provoke this daughter of the county party secretary. He knew very well that his brother could not rule Wude County with an iron fist, and there were still some people he could not provoke.

Therefore, he could only endure this matter.

"Second Brother, are we just going to let this go?" A lackey approached Cheng Hongfa and whispered.

Cheng Hongfa sneered, "Let it go? Have you ever seen Second Brother take a loss and not seek revenge?"

The man was taken aback, thinking to himself that Yan Duoduo had beaten him so many times, but he had never seen him seek revenge.

Of course, he only thought this in his mind. Out loud, he still flattered, "Of course not, Second Brother. You are a big shot in our county. How could you take this punk seriously? But, letting him go like this, isn't it too much for him to gloat?"

Cheng Hongfa chuckled, "What's the rush? This kid will still be in Wude County. We'll find a chance to deal with him sooner or later. Let's go!"

...

...

Xu Junran did not know that he had already been on Cheng Hongfa's mind. What he was thinking about was that he had only been back for a few days, yet he had already made enemies with several of Wude County's young masters, whether it was Qin Shousheng or the Cheng Second Young Master. To Xu Junran, they were all the same enemies.

Xu Junran never underestimated his enemies.

From his decades of experience in politics in his previous life, one of Xu Junran's conclusions was that when dealing with enemies, one must thoroughly eliminate them.

Either they are enemies or allies; there is no gray area in between.

This is the cruelty of the political arena. If you offend someone and do not completely crush them, when they have the chance to retaliate, they might stab you in the back at a critical moment, and that stab could very well end your life!

Therefore, Xu Junran did not intend to give Qin Shousheng and Cheng Hongfa the chance to stab him in the back.

He secretly made up his mind to advance certain events that were about to happen in Wude County.

"Hey, Brother Xu, can you let go?"

While he was deep in thought, a low voice sounded in Xu Junran's ear.

Xu Junran was startled, feeling his right hand slightly tremble. He looked down and was immediately stunned. He saw that his right hand was holding Yuan Xiaoyue's left hand, and Yuan Xiaoyue's face was flushed red, as if it could drip with water.

"Ah!" Xu Junran quickly withdrew his hand, his face also turning red.

Their hands separated as if they had been electrocuted, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

When they left, Xu Junran had involuntarily taken Yuan Xiaoyue's hand, and Yuan Xiaoyue, for some reason, had not avoided him. She let Xu Junran hold her hand as they walked out of Cheng Hongfa's sight.

This short distance of less than a hundred meters made Yuan Xiaoyue's heart race dozens of times. She had only been so intimately touched by a man other than her father once before, and that was during yesterday's conflict. Both times, it was the same person who held her hand, and that person was Xu Junran.

Fate is a very mysterious thing. Even through the cycles of life, some things cannot be changed.

"This, I didn't mean to." After a long silence, Xu Junran finally managed to say.

His feelings for Yuan Xiaoyue were very complex.

Yuan Xiaoyue's face was also flushed red. After all, girls in the 1980s were far from as open as those in later times. She just shook her head silently and said in a low voice, "I'll show you the way."

Xu Junran nodded helplessly and followed her.

This situation was really awkward.

Wude County was not large. It was more like a large town. Yuan Xiaoyue knew many people, and along the way, many people greeted her, then looked at Xu Junran with curious eyes, making him feel as if he were in a zoo. However, at this moment, he was not a tourist admiring the animals but the monkey being admired.

The Wude County Brewery was located in the northwest corner of the county, not very large. It was more like a large beer workshop. Compared to the factories Xu Junran had visited in his memory, the conditions here were almost dilapidated.

"Here we are," Yuan Xiaoyue stopped in front of a residential house and said in a voice barely louder than a mosquito's.

Since they had held hands, she had not dared to look at Xu Junran, always keeping her head down. Xu Junran was afraid she would bump into someone.

Frowning, Xu Junran looked at the house in front of him, unable to believe it. "Is this a restaurant?"

What Xu Junran saw were two brick and tile houses with only two windows. The outer walls had some cracks, making him wonder if it would be drafty in winter.

Not only that, but Yuan Xiaoyue had said the business was good. Xu Junran had expected at least a steady stream of customers, if not a bustling crowd. However, to his disappointment, when he looked through the window, it seemed that there was not a single person inside the small restaurant.

"Hey! Xiaoyue is here?"

At that moment, a clear voice sounded in Xu Junran's ear, making him brighten up.
