After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

Lang Zhenglian looked around.

"There are no security cameras here. We can talk freely."

With no one else around, Pan Yongbin’s attitude became even more arrogant.

"We’re all businessmen here. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll raise the offer by another 2 million. Transfer the Haojie Clubhouse to us, and we’ll call this matter settled."

"Didn’t I already tell you? Unless you’re my son, there’s no way you’re buying the clubhouse at that price."

Pan Yongbin’s eyes narrowed. He pointed at Lin Jiang. "I fucking think you’re choosing the hard way over the easy one. Today, I’ll..."

"Brother Jiang!"

Just then, Yang Tao’s voice called out. Yan Ming and Zheng Jiachun were right behind him.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"The three of us went out for a smoke. When we got back, Yuanyuan said you were called away by these two, so we came to find you."

Yang Tao looked at Pan Yongbin and Lang Zhenglian.

"What’s the meaning of this? Trying to force a sale, are we?"

As they spoke, the three of them pulled out clubs.

"Brother Lang, these cooks clearly came prepared. I’ll leave these three to you."

Lang Zhenglian nodded, his eyes falling on the three men, sizing them up incessantly.

"You two aren’t needed. I can handle this myself," said the quiet Zheng Jiachun.

"You have no sense of restraint. Don’t go and beat this bastard to death," Yan Ming said.

"Let me handle it." Yang Tao said, looking at Lang Zhenglian,

"Aren’t you called Old Wolf? I hear you’re quite the fighter."

"Who cares if he’s Old Wolf or Old Dog? Just fuck him up," Yan Ming said.

The three didn’t back down. Instead, they walked forward and surrounded Lang Zhenglian.

Pan Yongbin started to panic, and Lang Zhenglian’s expression was also unnatural.

Of these three men, one was missing an ear, another was missing a finger, and only one looked relatively normal, but his arms were covered in cigarette burns and tattoos. None of them looked like they were to be trifled with.

Surrounded, Lang Zhenglian didn’t dare to make a move. Even when forced into a corner, he only kept his guard up with his eyes.

Pan Yongbin swallowed hard. He had thought they were just three ordinary cooks, but now he saw they were a trio of thugs.

’Is this a fucking noodle shop?!’

’It’s a den of thieves!’

"Stop looking. Didn’t you want to have a chat with me?"

Lin Jiang grabbed Pan Yongbin’s hair and slammed him against the wall.

"You were the one who went looking for He Siyao the night before last, weren’t you? You’re pretty good at picking on the weak."

Pan Yongbin’s face was pressed against the wall, his expression contorted.

"Let me the fuck go."

"Still acting tough in this state? You’ve got some balls."

"If you fucking touch me, I’ll call the police!"

"You’re the one who picked this spot. It has no cameras. How are you going to file a report?"

Pan Yongbin: ...

"Boss Lin, let’s talk this over properly. Please let go of me first."

"Go back and tell Lin Jiansheng that I have no interest in him. If he wants to keep living a comfortable life, he should stop bothering me."

Pan Yongbin was clearly unconvinced, but he was outnumbered and outmatched. Every one of his opponents was a tough customer, which made his expression somewhat comical.

RING RING RING—

Just then, Lin Jiang’s phone rang. It was a call from Li Yuanyuan.

"Brother Jiang, the police are here."

"Have them come to the back door. Just tell them I was dragged here."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Lin Jiang let go and said to Yang Tao and the other two:

"You three, leave first. You’re not needed here anymore. Hurry."

"Got it."

Yang Tao and the other two put away their clubs, walked up to Pan Yongbin, and patted his face.

"Go back and tell Lin Jiansheng that there’s only one Master Lin in this territory, and it’s not him. It’s our Brother Jiang."

With that, the three of them left.

Not long after, two police officers came out from the back door.

Seeing the three men, they jogged over.

"Officers, you’re finally here."

Lin Jiang pointed at the two men and said:

"These two smashed the computer in our shop, injured our waitress, and then dragged me out here alone. They have a complete disregard for the law."

Pan Yongbin and Lang Zhenglian were both stunned.

"You’re talking nonsense! Officers, you can’t believe a word he says!"

"What nonsense am I talking?" Lin Jiang looked at Pan Yongbin.

"Was the computer smashed or not?"

"Yes..."

"Was it the two of you who called me out here?"

"Yes..."

"You’ve admitted it yourself. Do I need to say more? I’m going to contact the head of the legal department for our Xiaojiang Noodle Shop right now. Neither of you is getting away."

’I’m clearly the one who got the short end of the stick, so why is all the blame on me?’ Pan Yongbin replayed their earlier conversation in his mind.

But the computer was indeed broken, and he had indeed been the one to call him out.

Seeing Pan Yongbin’s dumbfounded expression, Lin Jiang felt that this guy had a bit of a clownish attribute about him, much like Liu Hongquan, whom he had met before.

’Are all the Vanguard Officers in the dungeons this ridiculous?’

"Officers, please let me explain."

Pan Yongbin came to his senses.

"I admit I was the one who called him out, but he then called out the noodle shop’s cooks, who pinned us in a corner and threatened us! We’re the real victims here."

"It’s just the three of you here. What cooks?"

The officer’s expression was serious as he tried to understand the course of events and avoid being misled by a one-sided story.

"They left when they knew you were coming."

"Stop talking. We’ll check the security footage."

Pan Yongbin felt completely numb.

’What are we going to do? There are no cameras here.’

"Officers, our shop has security cameras. They recorded what happened earlier."

"Take us back to your shop."

The two men walked back into the shop, their heads hanging low.

The monitor was surprisingly sturdy. Despite being thrown, it still worked.

Lin Jiang operated the computer and found the surveillance footage.
