Rebirth in the 80s: Mrs. Li Is Still Setting Rules

In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...

Chapter 75: Making a Fortune

This case caused a lot of trouble for the entire police station.

Wang Gongan looked at the pile of mediation materials on the table and rubbed his swollen temples.

If this case is not closed, everyone in the station will probably be criticized again!

Wang Gongan is so regretful now. He shouldn't have been afraid and reported it in a hurry!

Now everyone at the top knows about it. If we don’t resolve it, the General Administration might even send other branches to help!

If the General Administration really intervenes, where will he put his face?

The young people in the institute started calling him "Old Wang the Messenger" behind his back.

Suddenly he saw a figure passing by him quickly, and Wang Gongan's eyes lit up.

"Liu Wei," Wang Gongan turned his gaze to the middle-aged police officer who was looking at the files, "why don't you go and persuade your mother-in-law? After all, we're family..."

Liu Wei didn't even look up, his pen circling the notebook. "Captain Wang, I'm a family member now, so I have to recuse myself according to regulations."

After a pause, he added, "Besides, you know my mother-in-law's temper. If I dare to be a lobbyist, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the house this year."

Wang Gongan touched his nose awkwardly.

Thinking of Li Guifang still bargaining with full energy on her hospital bed, he resigned himself to his fate and picked up his briefcase and walked out: "Okay, I'll personally meet those troublemakers of the Wu family!"

This case was handled in a terribly shabby manner - the Wu family members were detained for only one day and then released on bail.

According to the rules, he should have been detained until the case was closed before being released, but someone made arrangements and put in a word, so he was released on bail.

In this world, even the iron door of a detention center cannot be as sharp as the soft knife of human relationships.

All the information I wrote is just paper money buried with this ridiculous thing!

What’s difficult now is that my brothers have been very busy these days, running back and forth between the hospital, the police station, and Wujia Village!

When they arrived at the Wu family's house, Public Security Officer Wang cut straight to the point, "The victim is now insisting on 28,000 yuan. He won't drop the case if you don't give him a cent. If you don't give him that, he'll continue to sue us!"

When Wu Jinhua heard the number Wang Gongan said, she jumped up and down: "Twenty thousand?! They are blackmailing us! We just pushed it twice, why do we need so much money!"

Wang Gongan sneered and slammed his fingers on the mediation document, "Push twice? The hospital is about to install a CT scanner, and you tell me to push twice!

Don't forget that there is another victim in their family who was beaten black and blue. This morning he came to our police station holding a banner to inquire about the progress.

He came here from the city, and as many people as he met along the way, so many people would know about this matter!

Your family is currently running a business, and public opinion has a huge impact on your business. You know this, right? If you really wait for the court summons to come, your business will be thriving, and you're just dreaming!"

Seeing that they were still in such a dead state, Wang Gongan got angry and spoke in a harsher tone!

Wu Jinhua was about to open her mouth, but was interrupted by the muffled sound of the old man's cane tapping the ground.

The old man suddenly turned around and stared at his eldest daughter-in-law: "Eldest daughter-in-law! Shut up! Didn't Chunlai Hotel terminate your contract this morning?"

This remark hit Wu Jinhua's heart. She remembered that when she was delivering food this morning, the boss of Chunlai said, "Sister Wu, the restaurant is going to be evaluated as advanced soon, so let's terminate our cooperation first."

She didn't know why before!

Wu Jinhua was immediately deflated and slumped back in her chair: "...Yes...but they're asking for too much! They're taking advantage of the situation!

Twenty thousand yuan, we can’t even make back that much by selling vegetables for a whole year!"

Wang Gongan stepped closer and asked, "You're making such a big noise? When you guys were hitting people with your carrying poles, why didn't you say 'taking advantage of the situation to rob'?"

Your family was the first to start trouble for no reason. No matter where the lawsuit is filed, you have to pay the money.

There are four of them lying in the hospital right now. Every day they stay there is another day you have to pay. I suggest you quit while you're ahead!"

Your family is now engaged in vegetable wholesale. If you really get involved in a lawsuit, which restaurant in the city would dare to buy your vegetables?

When the court verdict comes out, which do you think is more expensive, 20,000 yuan or the 'honesty brand' your family has worked so hard to build?"

Seeing they were still hesitating, Public Security Officer Wang took drastic measures, "The Municipal Bureau just issued a notice that cases like this must be reported as typical examples of 'cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil'!"

Does your family want to be used as a negative example, or do you want to pay compensation now?

Your family used carrying poles to hit people and bricks to split watermelons. If you treat it as fighting, you should be sentenced to a year or two. If you are caught in a crackdown on organized crime, your family will be in big trouble!

Wu Jinhua was already trembling with fear, but she had become too proud to be called the boss lady after being called her every day for the past few years.

Now hearing what the police said, he was still stubborn, "But, but they were also wrong! Why should we be blamed for everything..." As he spoke, his fingers gripped the back of the chair tightly!

Wang Gongan turned a page in the settlement agreement and pointed at it, "Why? Because you were the first to attack me! Because my medical record says I've lost too much blood and am in a serious coma!

Do you think the city bureau's "anti-gangster and anti-evil" records are just for show? If they really want to file a case of gang violence, those kids in your family will be eating peanuts right now!

At that time, guess what is more valuable, your 20,000 yuan or your family's future?"

Mr. Wu snatched the mediation agreement and said, "Sign it! Sign it now!"

We are not gangsters, Wang Gongan, you have to help us!", he said as he pressed his fingerprints with trembling fingers.

As Wang Gongan put away the mediation letter, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "If you pay the money before 5 pm this afternoon, the matter will be resolved, and our police station can even issue a 'Certificate of Settlement'."

He has seen many scoundrels like this who say they are willing to reconcile but then drag their feet and don't want to pay!

The old man also understood what was said. He just had to pay the money now, otherwise their family would be regarded as gangster terrorists!

Old Master Wu was so angry that veins popped out of his temples. He slammed his cane down on the brick floor. "Jinhua! Open the safe!"

His trembling fingers almost pierced the mediation agreement. "If the court summons comes, which of those regular customers at the South City Vegetable Market will dare to buy our vegetables?"

Wu Jinhua was also frightened to death, and she staggered as if she was drunk as she rushed into the inner room.

That afternoon, Li Guifang was leaning on the hospital bed and eating an apple when she saw Wang Gongan coming in with two large cowhide suitcases. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

After counting the money inside, she ripped off the gauze on her head and said, "Boss! Get me discharged!"

Ten minutes later, the medical staff stared in amazement at the four patients who had just been "dying" and were now busy packing their luggage.

Before leaving, Li Guifang handed the remaining apple to the doctor on duty: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor! Save this apple for your night shift!"

Policeman Wang watched the figure running toward the bus stop, smiled wryly, shook his head, and wrote on the closing report: "Both parties voluntarily reached a settlement. The case is closed."
