After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 773 - 419 Civil Dispute

Chen Feng brought a lawyer to the police station and met Xiao Ya, along with the landlord couple.

Xiao Ya appeared relatively calm, with a peaceful demeanor, but the landlord couple still seemed very agitated. After learning that Chen Feng brought a lawyer, they were even more furious, arrogantly stating that even if it costs a million, they would make sure Xiao Ya goes to jail.

This couple was a typical Xiu Zhou native with a strong local accent in their Mandarin. They were around fifty years old, a typical example of small-town bullies who become arrogant with a little success.

Chen Feng had no interest in engaging in a shouting match with people like them, to avoid lowering himself to their level.

He simply followed the procedure and let the lawyer he brought handle the necessary paperwork to get Xiao Ya out of the police station.

This lawyer was a civil lawyer introduced by Lu Guancheng, in his forties, who appeared very composed and experienced.

Xiao Ya's case indeed only involved a civil dispute, not a criminal one. The landlord couple wasn't really injured, just suffered a little physical pain.

Before Chen Feng arrived, the police station had already mediated, asking both parties to negotiate a solution to the dispute.

As the aggrieved party, the landlord couple proposed what they thought were reasonable settlement terms: First, Xiao Ya must move out within three days, and second, compensate them with 200,000 yuan, 100,000 each for the husband and wife, which they considered fair.

Of course, Xiao Ya did not accept such settlement terms. Under the continued mediation of the police, the landlord couple reluctantly made a slight concession by reducing the compensation to 180,000 yuan, but still insisted on unconditional moving out within three days.

Thus, the mediation naturally failed. The only way to resolve this dispute seemed to be through legal channels and take it to court. The landlord couple also used this as a threat, claiming they would ensure Xiao Ya goes to jail.

When Chen Feng brought the lawyer, it naturally triggered their sensitive nerves further, posing an attitude of fighting Xiao Ya in court to the end.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng was completely indifferent to their posturing. The lawyer he brought quickly completed the necessary procedures and took Xiao Ya away.

The landlord couple angrily followed them out of the police station.

Not far from the police station entrance, the landlady was the first to catch up, blocking Xiao Ya and pointed at her, cursing, "You damn troublemaker! You'll pay for this, you shameless woman! I won't let you off, you can wait for jail time."

Immediately the landlord hurried to catch up, glaring at Xiao Ya, he shouted, "You better agree to our terms, or you can wait for the court summons and get ready for jail. I'm giving you one day; if you don't agree by this time tomorrow, I'll go to court."

Seeing them being so arrogant, Chen Feng, even though usually calm, couldn't help but step forward to shield Xiao Ya, his face stern, "Stop being unreasonable. You know what's right and wrong."

Standing 1.8 meters tall, Chen Feng's naturally authoritative demeanor, especially with a lawyer dressed as a professional by his side, still had some intimidating effect on the local couple.

"What's wrong with wanting our shop back?" The landlady said, her Mandarin much clearer in the face of Chen Feng's impressive aura, "Are you her friend or relative? I suggest you stay out of this woman's business, or you'll be sorry."

"I'm her partner, the milk tea shop is my business too. You're maliciously trying to force us to quit, and deliberately causing trouble. If this goes to court, do you think you can win? I warn you, stop being unreasonable and provoking us, or you'll regret it."

"You... you..."

Intimidated by Chen Feng's presence, the landlady stammered, unable to finish a sentence.

Ignoring her, Chen Feng pulled Xiao Ya along and walked past them.

The landlord couple didn't chase after them for a moment, just watched as they walked to the parked car and drove away.

"Who is that outsider? So arrogant," the landlord said with a bit of belated outrage.

"You coward! Why didn't you speak up earlier? All you do is complain after they've left. Marrying you is the worst luck of my life! You can't even beat a woman, letting your own wife get beaten by that bitch on the ground."

"And you say I'm brainless? Wanting to open our milk tea shop, why did you have to tell that woman? In your shoes, anyone would start a fight. You stupid!"

"You idiot! I just wanted to force her to vacate the store sooner so we can start making money?"

"Alright, alright, let's think about how to get back at them. We can't let this woman off after being beaten."

Feeling a faint pain in his crotch, the landlord gritted his teeth in hatred. Because it was embarrassing, he didn't want to bring it up to his wife, lest she knew the reason and wouldn't let it go.

"I've never been beaten like this before. We can't let it go this time," the landlady said viciously, "We'll get someone to beat her up too."

The landlord furrowed his brows and said, "If she gets beaten, we'll be the prime suspects. Besides, with so many surveillance cameras now, we'll definitely get caught."

The landlady's face turned sinister, "We can have Fang Datou handle this, find someone reliable, just beat that woman up, no need to cripple her, just enough so she can't get out of bed for a few days. Then the one who beats her can take the fall, at most it's just a few months in jail."

Fang Datou was someone they knew from before, who worked on old city demolition projects for a while and now runs a small loan company. They met him ten years ago when their old house was demolished, and later, when they needed to borrow funds for housing speculation. Over time, they became friends with Fang Datou, having known him for over ten years now.

After hearing his wife's suggestion, the landlord shook his head with a frown, "Doing this will cost a lot. At least a hundred thousand to start, and if that person ends up serving one or two years in jail, it's even more money. At least two hundred thousand a year."

"Spending some money is fine, we're not broke. We need to vent this anger, and regain our face."

"But that's not how you spend money. Besides, if the person beating them can't withstand the pressure and confesses, implicating Fang Datou, then us, won't we end up in jail too? The risk is too high."

"Then what do you suggest? We can't just go to court, can we? That man said it'd be hard for us to win, even if we did, it'd be hard to get that woman jailed," the landlady glared at her husband dissatisfied.

The landlord pondered and said, "We can prevent her milk tea shop from opening and making money. Let's report a power cutoff to the electricity bureau and stop her electricity."

The landlady was initially stunned, but then a proud smile appeared on her face.

...

Chen Feng drove Xiao Ya back to the shop personally.

Xiao Ya consciously sat in the back seat instead of the passenger seat.

At first, neither of them spoke, then Chen Feng broke the silence, asking her about the reconciliation terms proposed by the landlord earlier.
