Seeing that Yang Huilian had returned the money, Pan Wenbin knew that the hope of finding Yang Jian through Gao Daqiang and his wife was dashed.
He had considered taking Yang Hui away to force Yang Jian to appear, but he dared not now. For one thing, the hospital was a public place, and there were other patients in the ward.
For another, he had leverage in Yang Jian's hands, and after Liu Ming was crippled, he had already developed a fear of Yang Jian.
Now, he could only find other avenues.
Pan Wenbin dialed Yu Dongqiang's number, asking him to find Yang Jian no matter what. Last time, he had given him face and settled the conflict between Yang Jian and Cao Wu. This time, he needed Yang Jian to help him through this difficult situation.
Yang Jian, along with Biao Biao and Liang Liang, did not return to Gao Jiawei. Instead, they went to Song Jianmin's sister, Song Jianmei's home, primarily to prevent Pan Wenbin from retaliating against them.
"Brother Jian, how did Pan Wenbin suspect you so quickly? Not many people know that Gao Daqiang is your brother-in-law, and they went straight to the hospital."
On the second floor of Song Jianmei's house, after Yang Jian had just finished talking to Pan Wenbin on the phone, Biao Biao voiced his concerns. The timing was too fast. They had left Liu Ming's house less than an hour ago, and Pan Wenbin had already identified them.
"It's likely that my sister and brother-in-law let it slip. Since Hong Ying knew we were standing up for my brother-in-law, it was inevitable that Pan Wenbin would seek out my sister and them."
"So what do we do now? Will Pan Wenbin hunt us down?"
"Don't worry. His target is me, and he won't know about the two of you. Besides, we have evidence of his and Liu Ming's crimes. Tomorrow, I will mail the materials separately to the police stations at various levels. Even if Pan Wenbin can buy off the Xinhe police station, he can't buy off everyone above. I believe the Xinhe police station wouldn't dare to harbor him."
Getting the evidence of Pan Wenbin and Liu Ming's crimes from Hu Yunfei was a complete surprise. Yang Jian's original plan was to defeat everyone involved in the attack on his brother-in-law one by one, cripple them all, instill fear in Pan Wenbin, and then deliver a fatal blow.
Now that he had a chance to send him to jail through legal channels, it was naturally the preferred option. After all, private retaliation was illegal, and any accident could cause the plan to spiral out of control.
As the three were discussing, Yu Feng's call came through.
"Yang Jian, where are you?"
"Sister, is something wrong?"
"Pan Wenbin is pressuring my father to find you and insists on meeting you. Did something happen between you two?"
News of Liu Ming being crippled and hospitalized had not yet spread, and Yu Feng was unaware of the situation.
"Sister, if I refuse to meet him, will you be in a difficult position?"
"I won't be, but my father will be. He owes Pan Wenbin a favor."
"Then don't agree to them for now. Let's meet first. It's not convenient to talk over the phone."
"Come to my hotel. I'll be waiting for you in my office."
He could ignore Pan Wenbin, but he had to give Yu Feng face. Yang Jian wanted to hear her opinion, as his social experience was insufficient.
To avoid implicating Biao Biao and Liang Liang, Yang Jian drove alone to the Fengqi Hotel. In the hotel parking lot, he encountered Yu Feng, who had also just arrived.
Seeing Yang Jian driving a new car without license plates, Yu Feng was a little surprised. "Whose car is this?"
"Mine. I accidentally hit a tree on my way back from Hancheng a few days ago, so I sent it to the repair shop as soon as I got back. I just got it back this morning."
"Really? This car isn't cheap. You made several hundred thousand in just three months after going to Hancheng?"
"We'll talk about this later."
The two chatted as they entered the office.
Yu Feng personally began to prepare Kung Fu tea.
"Yang Jian, what's going on? Why is Pan Wenbin so eager to find you?"
"Sister, do you know Liu Ming?"
"I haven't met him, but I know that Pan Wenbin's subordinates include Hu Yunfei for civil matters and Liu Ming for martial arts. They are Pan Wenbin's most capable men. Moreover, I heard that Liu Ming's martial arts are quite formidable, undefeated in Chengguan. Pan Wenbin owes a great deal of his current achievements and status to him. What's wrong?"
"An hour ago, I crippled him."
"What did you say?"
Yu Feng's body trembled violently, and the teacup in her hand tilted, spilling tea all over the table.
"An hour ago, I went directly into Liu Ming's house, broke his limbs, and severed his Achilles tendons. He is now lying in the hospital for emergency treatment."
Yang Jian said it lightly, but Yu Feng stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Sister, do you think I can meet Pan Wenbin now?"
Seeing Yu Feng remain silent, Yang Jian continued to ask.
Yu Feng finally reacted, swallowing hard. "No, Pan Wenbin is ruthless. You absolutely cannot meet him. I'll have my father refuse him, saying we can't reach you."
Yang Jian smiled. Yu Feng was still protecting him. This sister was worth recognizing.
"You can still smile? From now on, you won't have a place to stand in the entire Chengguan, or even the Xinhe district. You should go to Hancheng tonight. I'll arrange for you to work at my father's construction site. You can come back after Pan Wenbin has completely forgotten about this matter in a couple of years."
"It's not that serious. Do you know why Pan Wenbin is so eager to meet me?"
"Don't play coy. I'm almost having a heart attack from fright. Tell me everything."
Yu Feng impatiently placed a cup of hot tea in front of him.
"I have evidence of Pan Wenbin and Liu Ming's crimes over the years. These materials were provided by Hu Yunfei. Liu Ming signed and thumbprinted them, so the evidence is conclusive. Pan Wenbin is anxious and wants to get the materials back. He first went to my sister at the hospital, but she refused, which is why he then went to your father."
Yu Feng suddenly realized. "Oh, so that's how it is. Then this matter is easy to handle."
"What do you mean?"
"Send them directly to jail, and it will be a permanent solution. It will resolve your worries and also free my father."
Yang Jian was stunned. "Your father gets freed?"
"Two years ago, my father wanted to obtain the development land in Nancheng and asked Pan Wenbin to intervene. He eventually won out over several competitors. Since then, Pan Wenbin has latched onto my father.
He first lured my father to gamble in the casino. My father lost nearly a hundred million yuan in total. During this time, he lent my father money at exorbitant interest rates. In reality, the gambling hall my father frequented in Du City was contracted and operated by Pan Wenbin. He was fleecing my father. My father only found out later, but he dared not speak out.
Furthermore, my father's development in Nancheng is also constrained by him. Profitable projects like earthwork, sand and gravel, fire safety engineering, and door and window materials are all monopolized by him.
What's most hateful is that he also wants to interfere with the sales of commercial housing, demanding that my father package the second phase of development to him for sale, and at a significantly lower price. This is equivalent to my father investing huge sums of money to work for him.
My father has been losing sleep over this matter, not knowing what to do.
Now, it's great. If we send this devil to jail, our family will be liberated. I will also persuade my father to provide evidence to the police and ensure Pan Wenbin rots in prison."
Yu Feng let out a long sigh after speaking.
