"I'm going to interrogate Sun Hao. He was accused of stabbing someone. I'll detain him for a few days first," Tao Meng said.
"No, there's no point in detaining him for a few days. Let him go. I'll reconcile with him." Xiao Chen said, "Next, this guy will be desperate."
“When people are irrational, they tend to reveal more of their secrets.”
Tao Meng thought about it seriously, then nodded gently: "Okay, let's do as you say."
"But the necessary procedures still need to be followed. I'll ask my colleagues to mediate."
"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded.
After all, Tao Meng was the one who took over the Sun family's business, so it was inconvenient for her to show up. She called a friend from the criminal police team to come and coordinate the matter.
Sun Hao's face was swollen like a pig's head, and blood was still oozing from the bandaged areas.
He looked in a miserable state, and the wounds on his body were aching slightly.
A policeman brought Xiao Chen in. When Sun Yang saw Xiao Chen, his face turned even darker.
Xiao Chen sat opposite Sun Yang. Sun Yang stared at Xiao Chen fiercely, and his eyes were almost murderous.
"Sun Yang, your case is not a big deal. Let's mediate it." The policeman put down the transcript in his hand.
"He beat me like this, do you think this can be reconciled?" Sun Yang pointed at his own pig-headed face.
"Why not?" Xiao Chen glanced at Sun Yang. "At most, I'll just have to pay you a little more money. Our situation was considered a fight, and you were the one who started it."
"The injury on your face isn't even a minor one. I'll just pay you 5,000 yuan for your medical expenses."
"Five thousand yuan? Do you think I'm a beggar?" Sun Yang laughed in anger. He shouted, "I don't accept mediation. My lawyer will be here soon."
"Xiao Chen, this matter today is not over yet, just wait for me."
"Then there's no room for negotiation." Xiao Chen spread his hands and said, "I don't care. I can afford the delay."
"Sun Yang, this is the murder weapon you used." The police took out the dagger and sealed it in a plastic bag.
He said seriously: "Strictly speaking, this dagger is a controlled knife."
"The blade has barbs on the back. If it pierces a person, it will cause heavy bleeding and be life-threatening."
"If you don't accept mediation, then we'll go through the formal procedures. It's hard to say what the judge will decide then."
"I'm the victim. Look at what my face looks like." Sun Yang pointed at his own face angrily.
"You guys are trying to protect Xiao Chen, right? Okay, then there's nothing more to talk about. I'll just wait for my lawyer to come."
"We police officers don't protect anyone," the officer said sternly. "And your statement is wrong. You're not a victim. You fought, but you didn't hit anyone."
"Furthermore, since Xiao Chen was armed with a controlled knife, his actions could be considered legitimate self-defense."
"If the matter becomes serious and you assault someone with a controlled knife, you will be sentenced to three to six months in prison. Even if your lawyer comes, he will not support you in settling the case publicly."
Sun Yang's face looked very ugly. He, Young Master Sun, had never suffered such injustice since he was a child.
He was beaten up, and he was asked to reconcile? And the other party also wanted him to pay 5,000 yuan in compensation?
This is simply an insult, isn't it? He is the one who needs the five thousand dollars?
Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. He said slowly, "Young Master Sun will definitely not reconcile. His Sun family is so wealthy and powerful, and their connections are so strong. How could he possibly suffer such a loss?"
"If you ask me, there's no need for mediation. Let the court decide directly."
The expression on Sun Yang's face was a little uncertain.
After considering the current situation of the Sun family, he still felt that he could not take the risk.
After all, the Sun family is in a turbulent time now, and senior executives are being arrested one after another.
His grandfather had already said that it was very likely that the higher-ups had already set their sights on the Sun family.
Therefore, their plan must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise once the people above really notice it, the Sun family will be completely finished.
If he were embroiled in lawsuits at this juncture, he would be in huge trouble.
"Sun Yang, please think about it." The police officer said, "Xiao Chen doesn't want to mediate, but I don't think this matter needs to be escalated."
"If you really don't want to mediate, then we'll handle it publicly. As for how long it will take, it's hard to say."
The expression on Sun Yang's face changed again and again. Finally, he sat down dejectedly and was silent for a long time before nodding: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's settle it privately."
"Five thousand yuan." Xiao Chen said, "The most I can compensate you is five thousand yuan."
"No need. Keep these five thousand yuan as a deposit for your dating agency." Sun Yang looked at Xiao Chen with gritted teeth.
Then he simply signed the mediation agreement and left.
But he looked quite angry and frustrated, and it seemed that he was really angry this time.
Xiao Chen called Song Ziyan to report that he was safe, and then waited for Tao Meng to finish the handover before coming out together.
"How is it?" Tao Meng asked.
"Reconciliation made that guy very angry." Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Be careful when you go out in the next few days."
"I think that guy is extremely angry. As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over the wall. He will definitely take crazy revenge soon."
"Then you must be careful too." Tao Meng raised her head and stared at Xiao Chen: "Thank you."
"Don't thank me. Not everything I did was entirely for you," Xiao Chen said.
"The Sun family's father and son and I have a grudge against each other."
"If I don't deal with them, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well."
"The Sun family's power is terrifying, especially the second brother Sun who lives abroad. He is an even more ruthless and insane existence."
Tao Meng asked, "Are you really not afraid at all?"
"Trouble has come to you. Is it any use to be afraid?" Xiao Chen asked in return: "If there is trouble, find a way to solve it. Blindly being afraid is useless."
"That makes sense." Tao Meng nodded gently, then she smiled and said, "Let me treat you to a midnight snack as a thank you."
"Okay." Xiao Chen agreed immediately.
A few kilometers behind the police station there is a small street full of food stalls.
Many stalls are open until three in the morning. There are not many people at this time, so Tao Meng took Xiao Chen to a small stall where they often eat.
"Uncle Zhang, two bowls of wontons, the same as usual." Tao Meng took Xiao Chen to sit down.
"Okay, wait a moment, Xiao Tao." The stall owner took a rag and wiped the table clean quickly.
Although it is a small stall, everything is cleaned thoroughly.
The stall owners are a couple in their fifties.
The people are very welcoming, the portions are quite large, and the food tastes very good.
"Sometimes when I'm on night shift late, I'll come here to eat something. Uncle Zhang and his wife's wontons are especially delicious." Tao Meng smiled and said, "Don't be disgusted."
"Don't mind. I come from the countryside and I'm not picky." Xiao Chen sat down opposite her.
"You, on the other hand, come from a good family. I didn't expect you to come to a place like this to eat." Xiao Chen said.
"It doesn't matter what your background is. My family has been police officers for three generations. My police number is a restarted police number from my father." Tao Meng said.
