In the reception room.
The statements of all ten teenagers have been taken.
Only Yu Yuhan's was not finished yet. She kept crying and refused to cooperate.
But it was useless whether she cooperated or not, because the teenagers' chain of evidence was too complete. The value of the property that could be determined so far had reached as much as 470,000.
This far exceeds the standard for filing a criminal case.
Zhou Dunyang looked at the teenagers and asked, "Are you planning to investigate this matter thoroughly, or settle it privately?"
For a moment, all the young men looked at Qi Yao.
Qi Yao: "Director Zhou, can we discuss this for a few minutes?"
Zhou Dunyang looked kindly and said, "Of course you can. This is your right as a victim."
So Qi Yao called everyone to the side.
He could actually guess what Wu Yang was thinking, but he didn't know if others were thinking the same thing. "Now, let's not hide it. Just say whatever you're thinking! Wu Yang, do you want a larger amount of compensation?"
Wu Yang nodded. "They say Nanjing Normal University Affiliated High School and Nanjing Foreign Language School are two gold mines, and children from ordinary families can't afford to go there. But my family is really not rich. I know that asking for one million today may be a bit high, but I didn't say that they can't bargain."
He then muttered sheepishly, "I really like Yu Yuhan, and I'm heartbroken that she's been deceived. But now that things have come to this, what good will it do me even if she goes to jail? I might as well make some money and reduce the burden on my family. That way, I'll have enough money to pay for my tuition and living expenses for four years of college."
The other young men were not afraid of Qi Yao's jokes and nodded one after another.
"Indeed, there's no need to put Yu Yuhan in jail. The Yu family is also a wealthy family. If we really offend them, if they retaliate in the future, we ordinary people won't be able to protect ourselves!"
"I also want them to compensate me, but I'm afraid they'll accuse us of extortion and bite us back!"
"The damage has already been done. It's only right that the debt be repaid! Compensation for our emotional distress is also only right! Whether it's a private or public settlement, it must be paid!"
"Yes! I want her to go to jail and pay me money!"
Qi Yao thought for a moment and whispered, "If you trust me, let my grandfather's lawyer handle this matter. Let's join a group, and I will communicate with everyone in the group in a timely manner if there is any news. If even one of the ten of us is dissatisfied with the result of the discussion between the lawyer and the Yu family, we will not implement it until we are all satisfied!"
Wu Yang frowned: "Why can't I get compensation today?"
Qi Yao explained seriously: "If you want a large compensation, then listen to me. Only if Yu Yuhan is detained without bail will the Yu family become anxious and lower their stance to negotiate with us. Only then will we have a chance to negotiate the maximum amount of compensation!"
Xu Keyu felt that Qi Yao was very smart: "Wu Yang, let's just listen to Qi Yao! His grandfather is so powerful, so his lawyer must be powerful too! The result of the negotiation will definitely satisfy all of us!"
Although Wu Yang felt a little sorry that he couldn't get compensation today, he also felt that what Xu Keyu said made sense.
He looked at Qi Yao and stopped hesitating: "Okay! Qi Yao, we believe you! I'll leave this matter to you!"
Qi Yao: "Okay! Let's all speak with one voice. We won't accept private settlements or compromises. Let's send Yu Yuhan in first and make the Yu family anxious!"
The teenagers said in unison: "Okay!"
Wu Yang created a group and invited everyone to join.
Then, they walked up to Zhou Dunyang and expressed their unwillingness to reconcile.
Qi Yao added, "We demand that Yu Yuhan be dealt with seriously. If she is released on bail for any reason before the verdict, we will definitely file a complaint with a higher judicial authority!"
Zhou Dunyang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He was sent by the superiors to help the young man from the Qi family deal with this matter seriously.
Still complaining about him?
"Okay. That's all for today. Let's take Yu Yuhan back first."
"Thank you for your help."
"You are welcome."
When the boys saw that it was almost time to gather, they picked up their newly acquired souvenirs, said hello to Qi Yao, and went back to the yard.
As soon as they came out, everyone was indeed queuing up, getting ready to leave on the bus.
Looking around, the students were all holding brand new Apple laptops and iPhones.
Qi Yao wanted to go back to the inner courtyard, so he left the reception room and went upstairs to the other side.
Behind him, Yu Runze's voice could be heard: "Director Zhou! How is my daughter's situation? Why are they all gone?"
Qi Yao didn't look back.
Then just leave it to the lawyer.
But just as he reached the corner of the stairs, he saw Yu Wanqiao and Yu Xunzhi hurriedly rushing up to the first floor.
"Xiao Yao!"
"Qi Yao!"
"Grandpa Yu! Senior! Why are you here?"
Yu Xunzhi grabbed Qi Yao and looked him up and down, looking very anxious.
Yu Wanqiao also glanced at him, as if observing his emotions. Seeing that he did not have negative emotions such as sadness, despair and decadence, she felt a little relieved.
Yu Wanqiao explained, "Qi Yao, I'm so sorry! Yu Yuhan is my eldest brother's illegitimate daughter. She was only recently brought back home. We really didn't know she had deceived you before! I apologize to you on behalf of the Yu family!"
Qi Yao: “…”
Is the world really that small?!
A moment of shock appeared on the boy's face.
Yu Wanqiao stepped forward and grabbed Qi Yao's wrist with both hands: "But Qi Yao! Please believe that I am on your side! No matter what you decide, no matter what the police decide, our Yu family will deal with this matter seriously! When my father found out just now, he didn't know how to face your grandfather. The reason we came here in such a hurry is not only because we are worried about you, but also because we hope to find a way to minimize the damage to this banquet and the harm to you!"
As Yu Wanqiao spoke, her eyes turned red.
Her hands that were holding Qi Yao's wrists were even shaking slightly. Qi Yao could clearly feel that she was afraid, and he could also clearly feel that every word she said now came from the heart.
Yu Xunzhi wanted to say something, but found that what his daughter said was so good, even better than what he wanted to say.
He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiaoyao! We all support you! We all care about you! As for Yu Yuhan, I will definitely make her pay the price and give you a satisfactory explanation!"
The Yu family father and daughter's attitude of supporting the right rather than their relatives was in stark contrast to the Yu Runze couple just now.
To be honest, Qi Yao was a little touched.
Just as he was about to say something, he felt a pain in his wrist. It turned out that Yu Wanqiao had grabbed his wrist even tighter!
Her beautiful eyes, full of spirit, stared at him anxiously.
Two small images of him appeared in her beautiful black pupils.
For a moment, Qi Yao had the illusion that she only had eyes for him.
Yu Wanqiao's voice was almost hoarse: "Qi Yao! Please believe that Yu Yuhan and I are different people! I beg you to believe me, okay?"
