Chapter 206 - Settle Privately

Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Settle Privately

Zhang Mingjie was just a poor guy who was involved in a disaster not of his own making. This woman’s target was clearly Mo Fei. I quickly got up and grabbed the hands of the woman without any difficulty. Then I was shocked. There was only regret on her face but no panic. She didn’t seem to have any plans to escape. Of course, even if she wanted to run, it was impossible for her to run away now. . .

I glanced at Mo Fei, whose heart was still fluttering with fear. She was still covering her nose and mouth and gagging. I turned around and asked the woman coldly, “Who are you? Why are you attacking her?”

No wonder I felt that something was not right. It was not only just the way she dressed. When other people saw the bloody scene I caused, all of them were trying to stay away from us. But she actually ignored me and the hooligans who were lying on the ground bleeding and walked over by herself. This was not normal at all!

However, this woman was not only not afraid after I questioned her, but she also smiled charmingly at me, pretending to be confused, and chuckled:” I’m a lunatic, and I came to collect the debts. Attack? I didn’t attack anyone.”

Collecting debt? When I was about to ask again, I heard Zhang Mingjie screamed, pointing at the woman furiously, and shouted to the security guard, “don’t let her run away! Call the police, I want to sue her! I want her to pay for what she has done! I want. . . Blargh–”

Poor Young Master Zhang. . . I couldn’t bear to look at him anymore, otherwise, I would vomit too. . .

Liusu’s face had already gone pale as a piece of white paper. She walked quickly to help Mo Fei up and moved a few steps away. For a while, the front of the company was very chaotic, but fortunately, once the sound of the police sirens appeared, the chaos subsided.

I just came to the company to pack my stuff, but I didn’t expect that it would end up like this. I didn’t even know I should laugh or cry.

…

Local Police Station. . .

Dong Xiaoye, in a police uniform, handed me a cup of steaming tea and sat down opposite me while staring at me with her big eyes. Liusu, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa was watching her vigilantly.

Just when my lips touched the rim of the cup, I saw the yellow-colored tea. It instantly reminded me of those things that were being splashed all over Young Master Zhang’s body, making my stomach turn. I hurriedly put the cup back on the table and resisted the desire to vomit. But there were already tears in the corner of my eyes. God Damn it. I don’t think I would ever be able to get rid of that scene from my mind. . .

“Sister Tiger, don’t look at me like this, I will be scared.”

“Yo? You also know what scare is? But you don’t look like you are scared?” Dong Xiaoye seemed to be holding back her anger. She seemed to be waiting for an opportunity so she could vent her anger on me, “The three delinquents were almost beaten to death by you, why aren’t you scared of that? Am I scarier than them?”

“How can they be compared with Sister Tiger?” Seeing that Dong Xiaoye’s face became colder, I quickly stopped and smiled: “it was self-defense. The way you said it is like I was trying to kill them deliberately.”

“Self-defense? Whose self-defense only punches people on their faces?” Dong Xiaoye got up angrily, “Chu Nan, don’t take it so lightly. If those people accuse you of deliberately hurting them, you think you will be able to explain that?”

“But Sister Tiger will protect me, right?”

“You think I wrote the law or something?” Dong Xiaoye almost grabbed a teacup and smashed my head with it. Seeing that I still wasn’t concerned, she sighed and sat back, feeling defeated, “I will look at their statement later, and then find a way to deal with it. Chief Yang and our Captain Lin are classmates. I have had a few meals with them, so it can be said that we are friends. If it doesn’t work, I will ask Captain Lin to talk to him in person. . .”

Seeing Dong Xiaoye was so loyal to our friendship, it actually made me feel quite touched. Lest she would worry about it, I smiled: “Don’t worry, no one will accuse me of hurting them deliberately. It was them who wanted to hurt me deliberately. Haha, Sister Tiger, do you want to make a bet with me?”

Dong Xiaoye frowned and said in a bad temper, “What do you want to bet on?”

“In less than twenty minutes, a lawyer will come in and wish to settle this with me privately, do you believe it?” Although I was confident, even Liusu was suspicious about what I said, let alone Dong Xiaoye.

“If you won. I will let you off the hook for the troubles you caused me today. But what if you lost?” Dong Xiaoye became much smarter now. She actually used this favor as a condition, making sure that she would not be able to lose anything, even if she lost the bet.

Not wanting to negotiate with her, I took a peek at the Liusu and made a joke as to not let her worry about it, “If I lose, you can pick a time and location this weekend. What do you think?”

Dong Xiaoye’s eyes lit up, “Deal!”

Liusu trembled all over, staring at me fiercely. I couldn’t help but feel speechless. . . Blame me for not making it clear for her. I was actually referring to the duel with Dong Xiaoye, but Liusu obviously understood it as something else.

Just when I was about to explain, someone knocked on the door. Dong Xiaoye frowned and then looked at me in surprise.

“Hello officer, my name is Tan. I am Mr. Zhang Mingjie’s lawyer. I want to say a few words to Mr. Chu Nan and Ms. Cheng Liusu in private. I wonder if it is convenient?” The lawyer who entered the door was in his early forties, very shrewd and cautious.

Dong Xiaoye was dazed. She didn’t expect that I really guessed it. She glanced at me and said pretentiously, “This… this is a bit inappropriate, right?” The other party’s request was indeed unreasonable, and Dong Xiaoye was clearly asking my permission.

If this lawyer had known that Dong Xiaoye was not a policeman in this police station, he probably would have already asked her to leave.

“It’s okay,” I smiled lightly: “I wonder what Mr. Lawyer wants to say to me?”

Seeing that I looked like someone who could easily talk to, the lawyer hurriedly said, “Mr. Chu, what happened today is just a small misunderstanding. If you go to court for this, the reputation of you and Mr. Zhang will inevitably be affected unnecessarily. Therefore, we really hope that we can settle this privately.”

Dong Xiaoye and Liusu were both surprised, but I smiled calmly, “Okay.”

This time Liusu was completely confused. I had insisted on calling the police earlier, but now I suddenly changed my attitude and was willing to reconcile with Zhang Mingjie. How could she not be surprised?

“However, I have a condition,” I changed my tone and said to Lawyer Tan: “The condition of the settlement is nothing more than compensation. As for how to compensate me, Mr. Zhang is required to give me an answer immediately. Please pass this message to him. . .” I wanted to smile like a smart man, but from the reaction of Liusu and Dong Xiaoye, it seemed like I was smiling like some kind of evil villain, “There is only one chance. If I am not satisfied with his compensation terms, then we will see each other in court.”

Lawyer Tan’s expression changed, “Mr. Chu, are you trying to extort money from Mr. Zhang?”

“Am I? You are a lawyer, and you should know that you can eat anything but you can’t say anything without any evidence,” I kindly reminded him: “It is him who wants to settle in private. Not to mention that I am still hesitating between these two choices. Maybe I should really go to court. What do you think Mr. Lawyer?”

Lawyer Tan was a smart man. Of course, he knew that he would not be able to prove anything. So he stopped talking and left the room. As soon as he went out, Liusu couldn’t help but ask me before Dong Xiaoye: “Nan Nan, you clearly want to extort money from Zhang Mingjie. Will he really agree to settle it this way?” Liusu’s question was not unreasonable, because she knew that I didn’t have absolute evidence to prove that what happened today was planned by Zhang Mingjie, but. . . Zhang Mingjie didn’t know.

When Dong Xiaoye heard Liusu call my name, she was obviously dazed for a moment. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask me something, but eventually, she didn’t say anything.

“If he didn’t want to settle it in private, he wouldn’t have asked a lawyer to come to me specially,” I chuckled softly: “Zhang Mingjie thought I had a recording of his confession, and when Hong Tao testified against him, there would be countless Fengchang employees who could testify. With so much evidence, his future would be ruined if he went to court with me. So why would he not want to settle this in private with me? Hehe, his life is now in my hands.”

Dong Xiaoye withdrew her gaze from Liusu and teased me: “are you ignorant to the law or what? There are people who are injured. You think you want to settle it privately, then it will be settled privately?”

“Others can’t, but Zhang Mingjie can,” I smiled mysteriously: “so he has to beg me.”

Liusu seemed to realize something, but Dong Xiaoye asked inexplicably: “What’s the use of him begging you?”

I didn’t answer her, but Liusu suddenly clapped her hands: “I understand it! Nan Nan, you mean, as long as you don’t give him a hard time, he can shift the blame on Li Qi and Hong Tao, right? ”

“Smart,” I grinned badly. “If I really went to court with him, at best, it would stigmatize his reputation. I would not be able to send him to jail for that. Maybe because of the lawsuit, his father would vent his anger on the investment department. So I would not be that stupid. Reconciling with him will not only allow him to owe me a great favor, but I will also have something on him for a lifetime, so why not settle with him in private? Haha, this will eliminate the problem completely.”

Liusu was surprised at first, but a moment later, she said jealously, “You have already left Fengchang, but you are still thinking for the investment department. Are you that reluctant to leave Mo Fei?”
