It is essential to minimize major issues and resolve minor issues altogether, so satisfying the Chen family's demands is absolutely necessary.

Even if we take a step back and say that Liu Shengrui beat Chen Xiaoan up like this, he should apologize, even if it's in public. The Chen family's demands are not excessive at all.

"Commander Chen, sister-in-law, don't be angry. I'll bring the child out right now and make him apologize to Xiao'an in person!" Liu Dekai said. Seeing that Zhang Cuihua didn't move, he didn't care about ignoring Liu Shengrui anymore. The most important thing was to calm the Chen family's anger.

However, this was something Mo Youyou absolutely could not accept.

"What are you doing?!"

Before the Chen family could speak, Mo Youyou became anxious, grabbed Liu Dekai, and wouldn't allow him to bring Liu Shengrui out, nor would she let Zhang Cuihua hug him.

“Xiao Rui is only a few years old. You’re making him apologize in front of so many people in the family compound. How will he ever have any face left?” Mo Youyou shouted.

"He's the one who injured the person, shouldn't he apologize?!" Liu Dekai questioned.

"Yes, he caused trouble, but we parents still have to clean up his mess, right? Why are you in such a hurry to push your son away? What are you trying to do? Have you even thought about your son's future?" Mo Youyou shouted back.

Zhao Huijuan and Chen Mingyang, seeing the two arguing, also understood the situation.

It seems that the couple has never reached an agreement on their child's education, and it is quite obvious that Mo Youyou is much more assertive.

In this way, it's not surprising that Liu Shengrui developed that kind of personality; it's quite reasonable.

"Are you two putting on an act?" Zhao Huijuan said sarcastically. "I don't care what you're doing here, whether you're acting or having a real argument, our attitude is very clear. The medical expenses that are due will not be reduced, and we'll pay whatever the hospital spends. Don't say that our family is ripping you off; there's no need for that. Secondly, apologize in public, and this is the most important point. There's no room for discussion!"

“Yes, that’s our stance,” Chen Mingyang added.

"Did you see that clearly, Mo Youyou?" Liu Dekai lowered his voice and winked at her, signaling her to stop making trouble. "They've already said an apology is a must. If you don't make Liu Shengrui apologize, do you really want them to take this all the way to the military base, huh?"

Anyone with a modicum of common sense should understand the consequences of taking this situation to the military leadership.

But Mo Youyou was unwilling to back down. She could apologize on behalf of her son, but she absolutely could not make Liu Shengrui apologize in front of so many people in the family compound. Otherwise, he would never be able to hold his head up high again!

"Don't give me that nonsense, it's impossible, absolutely impossible." Mo Youyou's attitude was unusually firm.

Liu Dekai found it absurd. He thought that it was one thing for Mo Youyou to make a fuss with him normally, but now, in this situation, she was still so persistent... In that instant, he suddenly realized that even without Liu Shengrui, he might have been ruined by Mo Youyou's stupid brain sooner or later.

"Commander Chen, sister-in-law, you don't need to be so petty about a child. If you want to apologize, I will apologize to you. Why do you have to make my son apologize in public? Do you want to force him to his death? You are both parents, how can you be so heartless?" Mo Youyou felt wronged. She didn't understand why this couple was arguing with her son.

"Mo Youyou, are you out of your mind? Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language? Who forced whom? Did someone hold a knife to your son and force him to hurt Xiao'an like this? He made a mistake, why shouldn't he apologize? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Does Liu Shengrui not have a mouth, so you have to apologize for him?"

"I've made it clear today, no one can replace him; it has to be Liu Shengrui himself who says it!"

Zhao Huijuan and Chen Mingyang's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Commander Chen, do you really have to go this far?" Mo Youyou stopped looking at Zhao Huijuan and focused her gaze on Chen Mingyang. "It's true that Xiao Rui was wrong, and I have no intention of making enemies with your Chen family. But if you insist on doing this, then my Mo Youyou and my Mo family are not people who are easy to bully!"

Yes, Mo Cheng is in trouble now, but the official notice of his punishment has not yet been issued, and he is still the brigade commander!

What is Chen Mingyang, a regimental commander, acting so arrogantly about?

Mo Youyou felt that lowering her stance was useless, so she decided to let it go and see if Chen Mingyang dared to really confront the Mo family head-on.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Huijuan laughed in anger. She suspected that Mo Youyou really had something wrong with her brain. "Mo Youyou, do you know what you're saying? You're making me laugh my head off!"

Chen Mingyang nodded. He understood the situation. It seemed that private communication wouldn't solve the problem. Well then, it was late at night, so there was no need to waste any more time.

"Huijuan, let's go, take Xiaoan back with us," Chen Mingyang said.

"Just like that?" Zhao Huijuan was stunned.

“Of course not,” Chen Mingyang glared at the family and sneered, “Since reasoning is useless, we won’t waste our breath.”

Zhao Huijuan instantly understood her husband's meaning, picked up her son, and the family of three left.

As Liu Dekai watched them leave, he sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

But Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou didn't think so. They thought that the Chen family had backed down, admitted defeat, and didn't intend to pursue the matter. It seemed that bringing up Mo Cheng had indeed been effective.

"Nonsense," Liu Dekai said before heading back to his bedroom.

It seems there's no point in them running around anymore; it's all pointless now, they can just wait to die.

The next day, Chen Mingyang went directly to the military leaders and reported Liu Shengrui's good deeds, as well as the solution chosen by Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou as the child's parents.

“Sir, I know I’m just a regimental commander, and I can’t compare to Brigade Commander Mo, but I will never let this matter go. My son was bullied, and the facts can be verified. Now I just want an apology and normal medical compensation, but they’re using Brigade Commander Mo’s status to pressure me. I have no choice but to ask you, sir, to stand up for my son.”

Chen Mingyang specially brought Zhao Huijuan and Chen Xiaoan to the military base. Sometimes, military spouses can also play a significant role.

Zhao Huijuan, who was usually quite outspoken, was now sitting in the leader's office, holding Chen Xiaoan's hand, crying her eyes out.

"Boss, Xiao'an is our only son. Although he is naughty, he is still our own son. Besides, he did nothing wrong this time. He was beaten up like this for no reason, and he almost went blind. They even bullied us. I really can't understand it. Boss, you have to stand up for Xiao'an!"
