After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 39 I've messed with a tough nut to crack.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

Zhou Qian, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but cough as well.

"Cough cough cough!!"

"Dr. Liu, you don't have to be so honest..."

"Didn't you tell me, boss, to tell the truth?" Dr. Liu stood up, shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the testing room with his hands behind his back and a swaggering gait. "Lying won't work, and telling the truth isn't something I want either. Working is really tough..."

After he walked out the door, Chen Jiang turned to look at Zhou Qian:

"Your doctor... is quite honest."

Zhou Qian was quite embarrassed:

"Dr. Liu is indeed...very ethical!"

Chen Jiang rolled over and got out of bed, looking in the mirror and touching his face:

"Alright, it was a wasted trip after all... but these dark circles under my eyes are really noticeable, I really should get some rest."

Zhou Qian was a little puzzled:

"So there's really nothing wrong with your face?"

"Didn't I already say there were a few issues, but not many?" Chen Jiang straightened his clothes, turned to Zhou Qian, and said, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"This trip wasn't a complete waste; we received some good news."

Zhou Qian was a little surprised:

"Are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Chen Jiang shrugged:

"Otherwise, what are we doing here?"

Zhou Qian glanced at her women's watch:

"It's almost noon, let's have lunch together."

Chen Jiang looked at her:

"Just the two of us?"

"So how many do you think there are?"

Zhou Qian chuckled softly:

"Or do you actually want to see Mitang and want me to call her over to keep you company?"

Chen Jiang was utterly speechless:

"No, do you have a tendency to be cuckolded...?"

Zhou Qian, however, remained completely calm and composed.

"This is normal these days."

"Although we are getting married, we are both women and cannot carry on the family line. There are some functions that cannot be replaced. If Mitang has a man she likes, as long as she is willing, I have no objection."

"You...awesome!"

Unexpectedly, this was the answer he received. Chen Jiang could only stare in disbelief and give her a thumbs up: "I really didn't expect you to be so open-minded... Did you learn this while you were abroad?"

Zhou Qian rolled her eyes:

"Is it any of your business?"

"But speaking of which, I actually have a question I wanted to ask you," Chen Jiang continued, "Are you and Mi Tang really...?"

A slight smile curved Zhou Qian's lips:

"What, are you curious?"

Chen Jiang scratched his head:

"Well... I've heard a lot about it online, but this is truly the first time I've encountered it."

Zhou Qian moved her face closer and asked, "Are you interested?"

Chen Jiang was startled and quickly pressed her head down to push her away, shaking his head repeatedly:

"Forget it, I wouldn't dare get involved in your affairs."

"Tch!" Zhou Qian didn't care. "You talk like you can just watch it whenever you want... Old classmate, stop overthinking things. If you're feeling stifled after your divorce, I can introduce you to someone."

"No, thank you, but I feel I still can't accept overly open relationships. I think being single is fine too."

Zhou Qian seemed to sense a subtle change in Chen Jiang's attitude. After a few seconds of silence, she abruptly changed the subject:

"What do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Chen Jiang was taken aback.

"I'm asking you what you want to eat later so I can make a reservation."

"Um, anything is fine, just something simple, one bite is enough."

Zhou Qian nodded, picked up her phone and quickly sent a few messages: "Okay, the table is reserved. Shall we sit for a while before going, or go now?"

Chen Jiang also noticed that Zhou Qian had suddenly lost the enthusiasm she had shown earlier, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong. As a man with normal values ​​and a bit of a chauvinistic attitude, he found it hard to accept Zhou Qian's ideas.

And to be honest, Zhou Qian's opinion doesn't affect him much. He's neither a sycophant nor short of money, and he doesn't need her help in any way. So if they fall out, they fall out.

However, since Zhou Qian didn't seem inclined to turn against him, Chen Jiang was willing to give their classmate relationship some face.

"Take a bite now, I'll have more later..."

"I'm asking you a question, where is Zhou Qian???"

A sudden roar interrupted Chen Jiang's words.

Zhou Qian subconsciously turned her head to look at the door, while Chen Jiang looked at her and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Is someone looking for you?"

"It seems something has happened."

Zhou Qian frowned, and without saying a word, quickly walked out.

Chen Jiang followed a couple of steps behind, walked through the corridor to the reception hall, and sure enough, something had happened there.

The receptionist who had just greeted Chen Jiang had stood up and was hiding to the side, her eyes brimming with tears.

In front of her stood several people, led by a man in a green jacket with a fleshy face. He was slamming one hand on the table and shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Where is Zhou Qian? Tell her to come out here!!"

The receptionist trembled at being called, but she was very courageous:

"I...I don't know..."

The man, however, was not satisfied and slammed his hand on the table again:

"How could you not know? Zhou Qian was clearly right there..."

"I'm here, Zhou Jie. What are you doing yelling and shouting here??"

Zhou Qian's voice interrupted the man's roar.

The troublemakers turned around and saw Zhou Qian and Chen Jiang walking over with furrowed brows.

However, Chen Jiang, who was following behind, was immediately ignored; they all focused their attention on Zhou Qian, who was walking towards them.

"Zhou Qian, you're finally out! Give me back my money right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, hurry up and hand over the money. That's not your money. What right do you have to take it all?"

"Hurry up and give us the money, or we'll call the police!"

The noisy chatter of several people rushed over at once, quickly igniting Zhou Qian's anger, which she could no longer contain.

"Keep quiet!"

With one shout, the voices of the group came to an abrupt halt.

Zhou Qian, however, showed no sign of stopping. She glared coldly at the man who was threatening to call the police, then looked at the receptionist.

"Call the police? Go ahead and call them!"

"Xiaoyu, just call the police and tell them that someone came to our house to vandalize and rob us."

These words immediately reignited the uproar among the group, who had just calmed down. They began to criticize Zhou Qian, accompanied by a barrage of insults:

"You slut, you're a child without a mother, a heartless wretch!"

"If your dad knew you were like this, he would have beaten you to death long ago!"

Zhou Qian was clearly enraged, pointing at them and yelling:

"How dare you even mention my father?"

"My dad was killed by a bunch of ungrateful bastards, and now they want to come here and extort money from me? Do they really think I'm easy to bully?"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately started cursing again.

However, at this moment, Zhou Jie, the man with a fierce face, suddenly stepped forward and looked down at Zhou Qian:

"Sister, no matter what, I'm still Dad's son. Why should you take all the money and leave me nothing?"

Zhou Qian wasn't afraid at all; she slightly raised her head, her face full of disdain.

"On what grounds?"

"Because you're a beast, I'd rather give all my inheritance to my daughter than give you even a penny."

"Besides, all the money I took is documented in a will, as determined by the court. If you have any objections, go to court and cause trouble, don't come here and act crazy!"

These words made Zhou Jie's expression freeze abruptly, then a second later, he was filled with rage and suddenly raised a hand to slap Zhou Qian's face: "You bitch!!"

Zhou Qian didn't expect the other party to attack so suddenly. She instinctively took a step back, but it was clear that she couldn't dodge it.

Just as the slap was about to land on her face, she suddenly felt a force pull her aside from behind, and the slap missed its mark.

Zhou Qian turned around, but only saw Chen Jiang's profile:

"Chen Jiang..."

Chen Jiang ignored her, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's get down to business. What's the point of resorting to violence?"

This guy named Zhou Jie seemed to have a manic disorder; he didn't want to listen to what Chen Jiang was saying at all. Seeing that he had missed his first strike, he immediately rushed forward and swung his fist again.

"Get out of my way!"

Although Chen Jiang hadn't fought anyone in years, he knew that backing down in this situation would make him a coward, so he got into a fighting stance and raised his fist to block.

But at that very moment, Zhou Jie, who was charging forward with great momentum, seemed to suddenly slip, and his originally powerful fist instantly lost nine-tenths of its strength. His body tilted and his head subconsciously rose, just in time to catch Chen Jiang also raise his fist.

With a loud bang, Chen Jiang's fist collided heavily with Zhou Jie's chin.

Before Chen Jiang could even react to what was happening, he saw the man in front of him suddenly kneel on the ground, shaking his head and looking dizzy, clearly stunned by the beating.

This unexpected turn of events left the scene silent for several seconds before Zhou Qian's relatives reacted and began shouting again:

"Murder! Murder! Murder!"

"Shut up!"

Chen Jiang realized what was happening, stepped over the person lying on the ground, and raised his fist to scold them.

Perhaps the image of Chen Jiang knocking down a strong man with just one punch was too intimidating, because the moment Chen Jiang raised his fist, the men immediately shut their mouths.

Seeing that things had quieted down, Chen Jiang turned around and looked at Zhou Qian, who was covering her mouth in surprise:

"Have you called the police?"

Zhou Qian subconsciously glanced at the receptionist, who snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded.

"I've reported it, the police said they'll be there in a few minutes."

"Then let's wait for the police to arrive before we talk about it."

Chen Jiang glared at the group of people, then walked back to Zhou Qian's side. He frowned and looked her up and down, clearly noticing that her legs were a little weak, so he reached out and supported her arm.

Are you alright?

"No...it's okay, Zhou Jie didn't hit me." Zhou Qian was indeed a little scared. She didn't expect that her bunch of bastard relatives would actually dare to lay a hand on her.

In her panic, her legs did feel weak. When Chen Jiang supported her, she stopped trying to hold on and leaned against him.

The warmth and softness were still clearly felt through the thick clothing, but in the current situation, Chen Jiang had no mind to appreciate them. He glanced around:

Let me help you sit down for a while.

Zhou Qian didn't want to leave Chen Jiang's side, so she immediately reached out and took Chen Jiang's hand:

"No, no need..."

Chen Jiang glanced at her hand but said nothing.

The police might take a few more minutes to arrive, but after looking at the man lying on the ground, he felt he couldn't be careless.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and sent a few messages to Xiaoya. After receiving a reply, he put his phone away and waited for the police to arrive.

A few minutes later, the police car pulled up to the side of the street, and two officers walked over. They immediately spotted the person lying on the ground and quickly ran over to check on the situation.

"What happened?"

Did you call an ambulance?

After a long silence, the relatives finally found a chance to speak and immediately started talking all at once, pointing at Chen Jiang and Zhou Qian and cursing them.

Zhou Qian could tolerate it, but Chen Jiang couldn't. He raised his fist and took a step forward as a warning:

"Try saying that again!"

The men shrank back in fright, but this also drew the attention of the police officers to him.

What are you doing?

"You dare to make a move when we're right here?"

"Tell me, did you hit the person on the ground?"

Chen Jiang wasn't foolish enough to assault a police officer. Having successfully intimidated them, he withdrew his fist and was about to explain when Zhou Qian, who had also calmed down, stepped in front of the two officers.

"Officer Wang, Officer Li, you've misunderstood. He knocked the man unconscious to help me, and he was the one who struck first. Chen Jiang was only acting in self-defense."

Hearing that Zhou Qian could call out the names of the two policemen, Chen Jiang felt much more at ease.

Putting everything else aside, since we know each other, at least we can guarantee fair play and there's no need to worry about any unexpected incidents.

As expected, the relatives, seeing that Zhou Qian knew the police, tried to cause trouble, but the two officers weren't easily fooled. Years of experience working at the grassroots level allowed them to quickly discern the situation, and besides, they did indeed know Zhou Qian, their beautiful boss.

"Quiet! Stop swearing!"

After saying that, they looked at Zhou Qian, their attitude softening considerably: "Boss Zhou, please tell us what happened."

Zhou Qian nodded upon hearing this, then glared hatefully at the group of people over there before recounting the entire situation in detail. She also asked the receptionist to retrieve the surveillance footage as evidence.

The two police officers confirmed the situation and understood the situation:

"Alright, then come with us."

One police officer helped the group into the police car, while another approached Zhou Qian and Chen Jiang with a smile and said:

"Mr. Chen, right? Since you did take action, you'll have to go to the police station too. I'll trouble you to make the trip."

Zhou Qian nervously leaned over and grabbed Chen Jiang's arm.

Chen Jiang simply turned around and smiled at him. He had anticipated this when they were about to take him to the police station, so he didn't think much of it and simply nodded.

"OK......"

"Wait a moment!"

To his surprise, just as he nodded, several hurried figures walked in from outside the door, the one in the lead being Xiaoya, whom he had just messaged.

Several men and women in suits followed behind Xiaoya. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Jiang was unharmed.

After nodding to him, he walked up to the police officer and extended his hand:

"Officer, I'm Jiang Shiya, Mr. Chen's secretary. They are Mr. Chen's lawyer and legal advisor. We request to accompany you to the police station. Is that alright?"

"it is good."

This was quite a large-scale operation; not only did the police officer not expect it, but even Chen Jiang himself was surprised.

However, the police officer quickly realized that it was in accordance with regulations for a lawyer to accompany the summons, and he had no objection to it. However, he couldn't help but feel more sympathy when he looked at the troublemakers.

"Damn it...looks like I've messed with a hornet's nest..."
