Chapter 76 - The Way of Reconciliation

Chapter 76 - The Way of Reconciliation

Two days later, Ning Fei was called to the police station to discuss the case. To be precise, it is about reconciliation.

Ning Fei took a leave of absence from school when he had no classes, but when he arrived at the police station, he was the only person present.

Lin Shengjia is a minor and has to attend classes, so he is represented by Luo Xiuping and Luo Chenghong. The four street thugs who beat the man were not present. There was another unfamiliar person, dressed in a suit and tie. Ning Fei knew who he was at a glance.

But he pretended to be confused until the police introduced: "This is the lawyer appointed by Qin Ran's guardian."

Ning Fei: As expected.

It was indeed a lawyer, it was indeed Kieran.

I just don’t know how I found Qin Ran. Do the police take those little hooligans to the school gate to identify people every day? But Lin Shengjia is going to school normally, so it’s impossible for Qin Ran not to guess the general situation, right? You're not prepared for this? Moreover, Qin Ran didn’t know those people, and the transaction was in cash. Did the police find any key evidence that made him confess so quickly?

No matter what Ning Fei speculated in his mind, the mediation began.

The police first introduced the whole story. To put it simply, Qin Ran was displeased with Lin Shengjia, so he picked up a few homeless people on the street and asked them to beat Lin Shengjia up for 500 yuan. Then four idle little hooligans were waiting for Lin Shengjia on his way home from school, and they started to attack him when they saw him. Originally, the four men planned to drag the man into a dark alley, beat him up, and then run away immediately, so that Lin Shengjia would not know who beat him up. Unexpectedly, a "Cheng Yaojin" appeared halfway through and joined the battlefield without even hanging up Ning Fei's call to the police. These four were "killed in one fell swoop" by him.

As for why Qin Ran disliked Lin Shengjia, he didn't say it, or he insisted that he simply "disliked" him and had a "bad impression" of him, so he wanted to make Lin Shengjia suffer.

Ning Fei knew that this was Qin Ran's intention to protect Ji Xingzhe from everything. No wonder Qin Ran admitted it so quickly, maybe it was to avoid possible investigation later. If the police, no, even if only the Qin family saw his phone, they would definitely know that Ji Xingzhe was behind it.

But Ning Fei could think clearly, but Luo Xiuping couldn't. She expressed her attitude in harsh words: "What do you mean by 'simply don't like him' and 'want to beat him up for no reason'? Is this the attitude of Qin Ran? Does he plan to continue looking for opportunities to beat my son or even hire someone to kill him?!"

"Ms. Luo, Qin Ran said that he has realized that this is a serious mistake, and apologized to Lin Shengjia and Teacher Ning who were involved. Here is his apology letter and guarantee." The lawyer pushed a letter to Luo Xiuping, "Qin Ran's guardian is also willing to take responsibility. The medical expenses and lost wages of the two can be compensated at the market price, and each of the two will be given 50,000 as a consolation payment. By the way, is Lin's bicycle also damaged? The Qin family is willing to compensate Lin with a new model mountain bike. And Teacher Ning's mobile phone and glasses, the Qin family will also compensate for it."

"What do you mean? You think you can just spend some money to get over this? That student Qin said he wanted to apologize, but he was not even willing to apologize to my son and Teacher Ning face to face. How can I trust his promise?" Luo Xiuping was usually gentle and kind, but now she became very sharp for her son. "I want to inform the school. The school should punish such a student!"

"...Ms. Luo, this matter does not need to involve the school. The guardians of both parties can just reach a settlement." The lawyer certainly would not agree easily. "Qin Ran is already a senior in high school. He will definitely be admitted to a good university. Your son is also a high school student. He understands how serious the school's punishment is for a prospective college student. If you think Qin Ran needs to apologize in person, I will discuss this matter with the guardian. There is no need to report it to the school."

"You also said that Qin Ran is a high school student, and my son is also a high school student. Have you ever thought that if Teacher Ning hadn't saved my son, he might have been beaten and unable to go to school!" Luo Xiuping insisted, "And my son doesn't know Qin Ran at all. The only connection between them is that they are students from the same school. Since it is a matter between students, it is normal to report it to the school. I am not negotiating with you, I am asking the police to report it to the school. The school is also an important part of educating children and should be involved together!"

"Ms. Luo, classmate Lin wasn't seriously injured, was he? Those who beat him up were diagnosed with minor injuries, which are more serious than the two of you." The lawyer said in a "for your own good" tone, "There is an old saying that goes 'forgive others when you can', and the compensation given by the Qin family is much more than the legal amount. If you go through the formalities and go to court, it will be a waste of time and may not necessarily get the result you want, so why bother? And after this incident, classmate Lin and Qin Ran made peace. Whether classmate Lin goes to college or finds a job in the future, the Qin family will definitely be willing to help if there is a need."

"What do you mean by 'turning hostility into friendship'? It was Qin Ran who unilaterally hurt my son, and my son didn't even know him!" Luo Xiuping was not fooled by the lawyer's words. "Lin Shengjia was not seriously injured because Teacher Ning went to save him. Those little hooligans took out knives and hurt people, but you still made it sound like they showed mercy. Look at the wound on Teacher Ning's face. If it had been on his hands, neck, or body, wouldn't he have killed someone?"

The lawyer countered: "They took out the knife because Ning Fei attacked them with a broken wine bottle, so they used an unexpected tool. In addition, Lin Shengjia also hit the man's head with a brick, causing that man to have a concussion. Doesn't this prove that Lin Shengjia was still able to move normally at the time and was not beaten to the point of losing his ability to move?"

"Mr. Lawyer, watch your words." Ning Fei finally spoke at this time. Compared with Luo Xiuping, his tone was much calmer, but his eyes were sharper. "Your statement makes it sound like I took the broken bottle and caused the conflict to escalate. But they were in a dark alley at the time. I couldn't tell how many people there were or what the situation was. What's wrong with taking a bottle to "do a righteous act"? I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, so Those hooligans rushed towards me. It was their own inertia that caused the bottle to be deeply pierced, which is what you call "more serious injuries than you". If they just wanted to scare Lin Shengjia, and saw someone coming to rescue him, or even their own people were injured, shouldn't they leave immediately? But they still took the action of attacking Lin Shengjia and me, and even pulled out knives. Doesn't this just show that they are determined to beat Lin Shengjia up?

"And they don't even know us. The reason they made this choice was because of Kieran's instructions, right?"

The lawyer had previously thought that Luo Xiuping was the most difficult to deal with among the three and did not pay any attention to Ning Fei who had remained silent. I didn't expect Ning Fei to start with such a long speech, with a conclusion after each layer of progressive logic - Qin Ran ordered that Lin Shengjia must be severely beaten, instead of just being scared.

Of course, the lawyer couldn't accuse him of this, and immediately retorted: "Teacher Ning, this is just your logical assumption. Those people are hooligans, and it's not surprising that they do anything impulsive when they get angry. Qin Ran only gave them 500 yuan, which is obviously not a price that requires a big fight. If those social youths were planning to take the risk of seriously injuring Lin Shengjia from the beginning, would they agree to only charge 500 yuan for four people?"

The police said at this time: "They really said that it was Qin Ran who asked them to beat Lin Shengjia up, and it would be best if he could not take the final exam next week."

Luo Xiuping slammed the table and said, "What on earth does Qin Ran want to do? He beat up a schoolmate he didn't even know and made him miss the exam. He is too lawless!"

"This is just their one-sided statement. There is no actual evidence, and they may not believe this statement in court. Qin Ran said that he just wanted them to teach him a lesson." The lawyer would not give up easily. He looked at Ning Fei again, "Teacher Ning, you are eager to save your students, I understand. But please think carefully. Now Lin Shengjia and Qin Ran are both in a tense period of study, and you are also very busy at work. Is the solution I proposed the most appropriate one at the moment? I know that you and Lin Shengjia have been wronged, and the Qin family will try their best to compensate. Of course, if you have any other requests, you can raise them and I will convey them to the Qin family."

Luo Chenghong, who had been watching the show in silence, suddenly spoke up at this moment: "What do you mean by that? Are you waiting for us to open our mouths so that you can bite us back?"

He spoke jokingly, and his attitude was different from Luo Xiuping and Ning Fei. The lawyer looked at him and didn't fall for his provocation: "Of course not, I'm just expressing the Qin family's desire to reconcile. I believe you should also have the idea of ​​reconciliation, otherwise why are you all sitting here today? Isn't it a waste of time?"

At first, Luo Xiuping did think that a reconciliation might be possible, and that this would solve the problem faster. But she didn't expect that not only did Qin Ran not come, but his guardian also didn't come, and they sent a lawyer who was good at talking. The lawyer showed his attitude that everything could be solved with money, which made Luo Xiuping very angry.

Now it is completely unclear why Qin Ran beat Lin Shengjia. Regardless of whether they reconcile or not, Qin Ran and Lin Shengjia are still studying in the same school. What if Qin Ran bullies Lin Shengjia again at school? It was Ning Fei who saved people this time, but what about next time? What about next time?

But they were deadlocked and refused to reconcile. The Qin family was so rich that it was too easy for them to embarrass a student...

Ning Fei saw Luo Xiuping's worry, thought for a moment, and suggested, "Take a break. I'll discuss this with Lin Shengjia's mother."

Luo Xiuping looked at him in confusion, but the lawyer took this as a sign that he was ready to accept the conditions and agreed to postpone communication. Soon, Luo Xiuping followed Ning Fei out of the police station, followed by Luo Chenghong, who came to listen in openly.

After Ning Fei stood still, the first thing he said to Luo Xiuping was straight to the point.

"You guys should reconcile with the Qin family, and I will deal with them."
