Chapter 33 Not a Single Point Can Be Lost
He turned and went into the inner room.
Watching Li Wen's retreating figure, Yang Fen turned to Jiang Yang and said, "You little rascal, you'd better watch yourself. You're a married man, don't let people gossip about you."
Jiang Yang smiled nonchalantly.
“It’s okay, we’ll get a divorce soon. She looks down on me and is making a scene right now. I’m busy with the clothing store, I don’t have time to deal with her. We’ll talk about it after the store opens.”
With his intelligence and drive at such a young age, why worry about not finding a wife in the future?
"I'll introduce you to someone later. I think Li Wen is pretty good. How about I help you set them up?" Yang Fen said.
"Come on, Sister Yang, stop teasing me." Jiang Yang waved his hand with a smile. "His father is an official. Although I'm confident about getting into university, the results haven't come out yet, so it's all uncertain. Living in the moment is the most important thing."
Yang Fen nodded to herself. This kid has a really good attitude and sees things very clearly.
Li Wen came out of the inner room, having changed into the dress Jiang Yang had initially given her; she exuded youthful energy.
When the three arrived at the police station and explained their purpose, they were led to a conference room.
Sitting in the conference room were the fathers of Xu Tianyi, Zhang Hao, and Cheng Yi, their eyes filled with resentment as they looked at Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yang remained calm and sat down, waiting for the other party to speak first.
Finally, Xu Tianyi's father, Xu Ke, broke his silence.
"Jiang Yang, the boy is young and doesn't know any better. He made a mistake. We're willing to compensate for the losses. Do you think we can just let this matter go?"
Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Yang, and Cheng Yi's father, Cheng Tie, also chimed in.
"Yes, Jiang Yang, the child is just being unreasonable, please be lenient." The two looked distressed.
Jiang Yang suddenly stood up, his tone icy and tinged with sarcasm.
“I was beaten up by your three sons. I’m covered in bruises. Now, every little movement hurts. You can see for yourselves!” he said, rolling up his sleeve to reveal several bruises.
"Comrade Li Wen also suffered minor injuries, and Sister Yang Fen's restaurant was also turned into a mess by them. Many customers were so frightened that they ran away without paying. This cannot be resolved with just a little compensation!"
Jiang Yang's tone was firm and resolute, and the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense.
Xu Ke and his two companions looked grim; they hadn't expected Jiang Yang to be so forceful.
"Jiang Yang, how much compensation do you intend to ask for?" Xu Ke asked cautiously.
Jiang Yang stretched out his hand, spreading his five fingers: "Fifty thousand per person, a total of fifteen thousand."
"What?!" Upon hearing this number, Tsui Hark and his two companions were immediately thrown into a frenzy, standing up abruptly with their faces flushed red, like cats whose tails had been stepped on.
"150,000?! Are you crazy? Why don't you just rob someone?!" Tsui Hark pointed at Jiang Yang, his finger trembling.
Zhang Yang and Cheng Tie also joined in the shouting.
"This is clearly extortion! Officers, you must stand up for us!"
The three of them were like ants on a hot pan, running around in circles, and started crying to the police officers present.
The police officers looked slightly surprised when they heard the number.
Jiang Yang remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
Tsui Hark and his two companions continued to plead with the police, and the meeting room was filled with noise.
The police officer coughed lightly, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
"Comrade Jiang Yang, this number is indeed a bit high. Do you think we could discuss it further?"
Jiang Yang smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "Officer, my injuries, Comrade Li Wen's injuries, and the losses of Sister Yang Fen's restaurant are all real. 150,000 yuan, not a penny less."
He gave a cold laugh, slowly straightened his sleeves, revealing several shocking bruises on his arm.
"Officers, please let me explain."
He looked around and spoke in a calm tone: "I, Jiang Yang, am a student who just finished the college entrance examination. I haven't even had a chance to enjoy university life before I've encountered this undeserved disaster! I originally had a bright future, but now my body and mind have been severely damaged, and my future studies and development may be affected!"
Jiang Yang pointed to his injuries and continued, "These injuries are all thanks to them! My whole body aches! You can feel it if you don't believe me!"
He paused, then turned his gaze to Li Wen.
"And there's Comrade Li Wen, the daughter of Director Li of the Industry and Commerce Bureau! She was also injured! This matter has already spread throughout the county, and the impact is extremely negative!"
Li Wen nodded slightly, her face somewhat pale.
Jiang Yang then looked at Yang Fen.
"Those three have turned Yang Fen's restaurant into a complete mess, scaring customers away and causing heavy losses! They all need to compensate for this!"
Yang Fen sighed, looking helpless.
"The 150,000 yuan I want today is not extortion! I want justice! I want respect! I want to teach these three people a profound lesson! To make them understand that we live in a society governed by law, where money can't buy anything!"
His gaze was sharp as he stared directly at Tsui Hark and the other two.
"I want them to pay the price! I want them to remember this lesson!"
As soon as Jiang Yang finished speaking, the expressions of Xu Ke and the other two changed drastically.
Xu Ke spoke first, his tone pleading: "Officer, could we talk to Jiang Yang alone? There are some things that are not easy to say in front of everyone."
Zhang Yang and Cheng Tie echoed, "Yes, yes, we want to talk to Jiang Yang privately."
After a moment's thought, the police officer nodded, thinking that a one-on-one conversation might be more effective: "Okay, but it can't be too long. Be careful to control your emotions and discuss any issues properly."
After saying that, he left the conference room with Yang Fen and Li Wen.
The meeting room door closed, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.
Tsui Hark rubbed his hands together, put on a fake smile, and walked up to Jiang Yang.
“Jiang Yang, look at the mess this has made. It’s all a misunderstanding! I, Xu Ke, have been in Jiang’an County for so many years. I’m a big shot here, with many friends and connections. You’re new here, and you’ll be doing business in the county town. We’ll run into each other all the time. Having more friends means having more opportunities.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Fifteen thousand, that's no small sum! Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future. If you're willing to be lenient, I, Xu Ke, will definitely take care of you when you do business in the county town, and I guarantee you'll have smooth sailing."
Jiang Yang looked at Xu Ke's hypocritical smile and sneered inwardly.
He knew what kind of people Tsui Hark and his gang were—two-faced and ruthless.
He remained unmoved, his tone still icy: "Mr. Xu, I've already made myself very clear: 150,000, not a penny less. Today, I'm here to teach you a lesson, to show you what a society governed by law truly means!"
Tsui Hark's smile froze.
He hadn't expected Jiang Yang to be so stubborn.
Xu Ke's face darkened, and his tone hardened: "Jiang Yang, don't be so stubborn! Do you really think I, Xu Ke, am someone to be trifled with? If you insist on taking this 150,000, your parents will have a hard time in the village from now on!"
