The police were speechless and looked at Ye Beiping with hostility.
Just then, another policeman walked in, glanced at Ye Beiping and He Tao, and whispered something in the ear of the investigating officer.
Soon, the police officer handling the case narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Beiping.
This left Ye Beiping and Ye Xiaoxin completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
We can't just lock them all up, can we?
After a while, the police officer handling the case seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said to He Tao, "Based on the circumstances, I suggest you settle this matter amicably."
"What?" He Tao was stunned for a moment in disbelief.
After thinking for a moment, he didn't dare to do anything in front of the police, and looked at Ye Beiping with hostility: "Okay, let's settle. But we need compensation, medical expenses and the like absolutely cannot be less."
He Yongshou, standing nearby, retorted, "Why? Didn't you see how badly I've been beaten?"
The investigating officer seemed impatient and said coldly, "Don't you know what you've done?"
"This..." He Yongshou blushed as he spoke of his affair in Pingba Village.
I never expected to be caught cheating and even get beaten up. It doesn't sound very good to talk about.
Ye Beiping naturally didn't consider He Yongshou's thoughts, and held up two fingers: "I can compensate you twenty yuan each on behalf of Hou Baolin and Wu Di. As for the others, you'll have to ask them."
"Twenty yuan?" He Tao frowned, then said disdainfully, "Do you think this is for beggars?"
These words caused everyone to frown.
The same applies to the police officers handling the case. You should know that the monthly salary of employees in state-owned factories is only about thirty yuan. Twenty yuan per person, so the total amount of money arrested is more than one hundred yuan.
Unexpectedly, He Tao complained that it wasn't enough.
Ye Beiping shrugged and spread his hands, saying, "Then you can leave them locked up. How much money do they make in a year? You should consider your target before trying to extort them, shouldn't you?"
“That’s right.” The investigating police officer added appropriately, “He Tao, how much money do they earn in a year in work points? You can’t expect them to give you all the money they worked so hard to earn in a year, can you?”
"and......"
After glancing at He Yongshou, the police officer handling the case pursed his lips and said, "Your father only looks seriously injured on the surface; he doesn't have any serious internal injuries. Twenty yuan per person is already quite a lot."
He Tao was about to say something when Ye Beiping interrupted first.
"Thank you, officer. I'll go pay the money right away."
"Hey, wait a minute." He Tao saw Ye Beiping turn around and was about to leave, and immediately became anxious: "Twenty yuan won't do, at least... twenty-five yuan."
"no problem."
Ye Beiping certainly didn't care about those five dollars; he didn't care what others didn't care about.
After agreeing on the terms, Ye Beiping handed over fifty yuan to the police officer in charge of the case, and the officer next to him led him to find Hou Baolin and Wu Di.
Only the police officers handling the case and He Tao and his son remained in the office.
He Tao was somewhat frustrated at this point: "Old Li, why did you release him so easily?"
The policeman called Lao Li glanced at He Tao, his eyes filled with speechlessness.
"Just remember this, make this a small matter and then let it go, otherwise your dad will definitely be in big trouble. He's right, Jiang Enhua is the key person. If she changes her testimony and sues your dad, think about the consequences."
He Tao, who considered himself to have a good relationship with Lao Li, immediately became unhappy.
"Can a statement be changed? Hasn't she already told us what happened?"
Actually, he and Lao Li got to know each other because of one incident: when He Tao was arrested, Lao Li was the person in charge.
Over time, He Tao's family, hoping to get him released, started bribing officials. Old Li, an ordinary policeman, seeing that the matter wasn't serious, accepted the money.
That's how He Tao's family became much closer to Lao Li.
He Yongshou was overjoyed to find that the police officer handling the case was Old Li.
Unexpectedly, the final result was that they only paid a little over a hundred yuan in compensation and that was it.
He Yongshou frowned beside him: "Yes, Lao Li, didn't we agree on this at the time? At the very least, we would detain them for fifteen days."
Upon hearing this, Old Li became slightly impatient.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. When did I agree to lock them up for fifteen days?"
"Besides, if you hadn't been unable to control yourself, would you have caused so much trouble? Don't you even know how old Jiang Enhua is? I really can't believe you're interested in him."
At this point, Old Li said to He Tao, "You really should talk about your dad. The two of them have been together all these years, and he's given Jiang Enhua a lot of things."
"What?!" He Tao was instantly shocked upon hearing the news.
He Yongshou, standing to the side, shrank back; he really didn't dare to argue with his son on this matter.
It's all because his wife left early, and there's no woman left in the house.
...
Ye Beiping naturally wouldn't pay much attention to He Tao and his son.
After Hou Baolin and Wu Di were released, Ye Beiping went up and patted them on the shoulders.
"You guys are really impulsive. It wasn't your business yesterday, why did you rush in?" There was a hint of resentment and helplessness in his tone.
Wu Di immediately exploded, coldly snorting, "My dad was beaten up, how can I not go up?"
No sooner had he said that than he was slapped on the back of the head.
"Ouch."
Wu Di covered his head and looked back. Wasn't that his father who had been beaten?
"Dad, why...why did you hit me?"
"Hit you?" Wu Guangfa, with a bruised eye, slapped Wu Di on the back of the head again, annoyed. "You little brat, you're the one who caused trouble."
