Reborn in 79, the educated youth wife regretted her divorce.

A surge of anger welled up in Jiang Yang's heart, but he remained outwardly calm.

It seems that Tsui Hark is desperate and has started threatening him with his parents.

"Mr. Xu, are you threatening me?" Jiang Yang sneered.

"You think I'm afraid of you? Someone as simple-minded and physically strong as you doesn't know how business is done. Do you think it's all about coercion and bribery?"

Upon hearing this, Tsui Hark's face turned ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead.

He never expected Jiang Yang to be so disrespectful to him.

“You…” Tsui Hark pointed at Jiang Yang, speechless for a moment.

Jiang Yang met Xu Ke's gaze without flinching and continued, "The government will definitely crack down on your kind of gangster activities in the future. I advise you to stop now! I'm telling you right now, 150,000 yuan, not a penny less! If you don't get compensation, then we'll proceed with the normal procedures. It won't be a year or two before Xu Tianyi and the other two get out of prison!"

Tsui Hark and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't expect Jiang Yang to be so tough, showing them no respect whatsoever.

Tsui Hark couldn't help but speak up: "Jiang Yang, don't be so arrogant! We..."

"Alright everyone, think it over carefully yourselves. I won't bother you any longer."

Jiang Yang ignored Xu Ke and the other two and turned to leave the conference room.

"Stop right there!" Tsui Hark roared.

Jiang Yang stopped, turned around, and looked at Tsui Hark with icy eyes.

"What is it, Mr. Xu? Is there anything else?"

Tsui Hark gritted his teeth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He suffered a defeat today, but he was unwilling to admit defeat so easily.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and the police walked in.

"What's going on? Why are you arguing?" the police officer asked sternly, looking at the group of people who were on the verge of conflict.

"Officer, we're negotiating, so the noise might be a bit loud," Xu Ke quickly explained.

"How did the negotiations go?" the police officer asked.

"Officers, they refuse to pay compensation and are threatening me, even my parents!" Jiang Yang pointed at Xu Ke and the other two, his voice filled with indignation.

Xu Ke's expression changed drastically, and he quickly interrupted Jiang Yang, saying, "Officer, we agree to compensation, 150,000 it is! We are willing to settle!"

Zhang Yang and Cheng Tie quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we agree, we agree to compensation!"

Tsui Hark and his two colleagues were inwardly groaning.

Jiang Yang is a tough nut to crack!

I thought I could scare him off, but I didn't expect him to take the matter directly to the police.

150,000! That's more than half a year's income for them!

The police officer looked at the group and said in a serious tone, "Since you've agreed to compensation, then sign the settlement agreement."

He took out the settlement agreement and handed it to Jiang Yang and Xu Ke respectively.

Tsui Hark accepted the settlement agreement, his hand trembling slightly.

150,000! Gone just like that!

He glared fiercely at Jiang Yang, his eyes filled with resentment.

Jiang Yang felt Tsui Hark's gaze, but didn't care at all.

He picked up a pen and signed his name on the settlement agreement.

Tsui Hark and the other two also signed the settlement agreement.

Although they were unwilling, they knew that if the stalemate continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After signing, the policeman put away the settlement agreement and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go find my supervisor to sign it."

After the police left, only Jiang Yang, Xu Ke, and two others remained in the conference room.

Xu Ke and the other two stared fiercely at Jiang Yang, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Jiang Yang, however, didn't care at all. He even leaned back in his chair with a cheerful expression, crossed his legs, and started humming a little tune.

The policeman returned with the stamped document, patted it in his hand, and said, "Alright, go home and get the money. 150,000 yuan, not a penny less. Once the money is in your account, Xu Tianyi and the others can leave."

Xu Ke and his two companions were overjoyed, nodding hurriedly, "Okay, okay, officers, we'll go right away, we'll go right away!"

Jiang Yang watched the three figures hurriedly leave, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

This is what happens when you offend him!

He stroked his chin, beginning to plan his next move.

Looking at Jiang Yang's confident demeanor, Li Wen couldn't help but feel admiration.

This man is truly different from everyone else in the village.

Yang Fen looked worried.

150,000 is no small sum. What if the Xu family changes their mind?

About two hours later, Tsui Hark and his two companions returned, panting, carrying three bulging bags, clearly filled with cash.

"Officer, here's all the money, please count it." Xu Ke placed the bag on the table.

In front of Jiang Yang, the police carefully counted the items, and after confirming that everything was correct, they nodded: "Yes, the number matches."

Jiang Yang took the money, counted it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, said to the police officer, "Officer, everything is fine now, you can release the person."

The police turned and left the conference room. A short while later, Xu Tianyi, Zhang Hao, and Cheng Yi were brought in.

Xu Tianyi and the other two kept their heads down, their bodies tense, not daring to look at Jiang Yang.

The police officer said sternly, "This case is closed. I hope you will learn from this and not cause any more trouble. Especially the three of you," the officer pointed at Xu Tianyi and the other two, "the college entrance examination has been reinstated, and instead of studying properly, all you do is fight and brawl. Aren't you ashamed? You're also causing your parents worry!"

Xu Tianyi and his two companions nodded obsequiously, not daring to utter a sound.

The police then turned to Tsui Hark and his two companions: "You parents, instead of disciplining your children properly and letting them run wild, what kind of parents are you! Now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, let them study hard, get into university, and have a bright future. That's what a parent should do!"

Xu Ke and the other two nodded in agreement, but in their hearts they cursed Jiang Yang to the core.

After the policeman finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, go back now."

Xu Ke and his two companions breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led Xu Tianyi and the other two away from the police station.

The policeman patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Young man, you're in good shape, but you're a bit impulsive. In the future, if you encounter something like this, try to avoid it. Running away is the best of the thirty-six stratagems! Running away isn't necessarily cowardly; protecting yourself is the most important thing."

Jiang Yang rubbed his still throbbing head and grinned as he agreed, "Yes, yes, the police officer is right. I'll definitely be more careful next time."

He agreed verbally, but what he was thinking was something else entirely.

next time?

Who'll be polite to them next time!

The police gave them a few more instructions before letting them leave.

Jiang Yang, Li Wen, and Yang Fen walked out of the police station, each clutching five stacks of brand-new banknotes tightly in their hands.

Fifty thousand yuan!

In a county town in the 1980s, this was a huge sum of money!

Jiang Yang was secretly delighted.

This money really didn't come easily!

The three parted ways at the police station entrance. Yang Fen returned to the state-run restaurant, while Jiang Yang and Li Wen headed towards the clothing store.

Jiang Yang was calculating how to use the 50,000 yuan. The clothing store renovation was still short of the final payment, but now he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

He could almost see the fully renovated clothing store, the dazzling array of fashions, the endless stream of customers, and the bulging wallets...

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang quickened his pace.
