In the following days, discussions about Wang Yan and her son continued to spread online, but Xiao He's presence gradually faded from the trending topics and became low-key.
Since none of the parties involved accepted mediation or the compensation terms proposed by the other party, the matter could only be resolved through litigation, with the court making the final judgment.
Liu Rulan told Xiao He not to worry about it, that she would handle it, so Xiao He really didn't care at all and continued to busy himself with his own affairs and training.
During this time, Song Zhe's family also specially invited Xiao He and his roommates to have another meal together as a way of expressing their gratitude.
Later, after a training session, Xiao He received a heartfelt thank you from Song Zhe in private.
Three years ago, Zhang Wanyue was Song Zhe's fiancée. When Song Zhe had that accident, Zhang Wanyue stayed by his side and took care of him. Even when Song Zhe wanted to leave the army and start a new life, Zhang Wanyue was the first to stand up and express her support.
Without Zhang Wanyue, Song Zhe might have had a really hard time getting over that period.
Therefore, in Song Zhe's heart, his lover Zhang Wanyue and his daughter Ruan Ruan are the most important people in his life. He cannot imagine how much his lover would blame herself if something happened to Ruan Ruan that day, and he would not be able to forgive himself.
Xiao He was overwhelmed with emotion after witnessing such a display of affection.
Being able to do a good deed within your own capabilities can really make you feel refreshed.
About a month later, Xiao He learned the follow-up to the matter from Liu Rulan.
The verdict has been delivered: Wang Yan's family was held fully responsible, and even the store did not provide any compensation.
"The store didn't pay a single penny in compensation?" Xiao He had just asked when he remembered Song Zhe's special status, and then he understood, "No wonder the verdict was so quick this time."
It seems they were given a boost by a mysterious force. Of course, there's not much to argue about in this matter itself. The store had already taken warnings and precautions, and the safety measures were in place. If you really want to hold them accountable, there won't be much. The main responsibility lies with Wang Yan. Besides, this case had the support of a mysterious force, and it ended with a satisfying conclusion, which can be considered a satisfactory outcome.
"What's the situation with Wang Yan and the others now?" Xiao He asked again.
The incident involving Wang Yan and her son caused such a stir online that it likely affected their real lives as well.
"I'm not too sure about that," Liu Rulan recalled. "But it seems that the Crown Prince's mother discovered that there was another son in the family because of this incident, so she started a fight with her family and planned to help her own Crown Prince to force the abdication. The precious Crown Prince has been temporarily sent back to his hometown. Judging from the looks of it, their future days will not be easy."
Xiao He: "What illegitimate son, what coup... Sister Liu, maybe you should watch less palace dramas?"
Liu Rulan absentmindedly covered her mouth: "Huh? Did I say what I was thinking?"
Xiao He: "...What do you think?"
Liu Rulan shrugged: "Then how did you understand it?"
Xiao He: Stare—
Liu Rulan slapped him on the head, her expression instantly turning serious as she changed the subject: "Alright, let's talk about the next arrangements..."
Xiao He covered his head: "..."
Sister Liu, you've changed! You weren't like this before!!!
