Seeing Director Lin's sincere attitude and earnest words, Lu Jingxing was somewhat moved.
Just as Director Lin was extremely nervous, worried that Lu Jingxing would not agree, he finally spoke.
"Don't be nervous, I'll call my parents and discuss it with them."
"Well... okay! You're a smart kid, I believe your decision is definitely right."
Director Lin watched Lu Jingxing leave with his mobile phone, his hands clenching tightly.
He was afraid that if Lu Jingxing called the He family, things would become troublesome and difficult to resolve.
Grandpa He dotes on An Wan so much, he won't easily let go of the people who hurt the pastry shop.
——
Lu Jingxing went to the police station's restroom and called the snack shop, and Lu Sen answered the phone.
He happened to be helping out at the pastry shop, and even though he couldn't stand up, he wanted to do his best to contribute to the family.
When he received Lu Jingxing's call, and learned that County Chief Lin's younger brother was involved in the case of vandalizing the pastry shop last night, and even that Director Lin offered 60,000 yuan in compensation, he was stunned for a minute before he came to his senses.
He also informed Yunping's entire family about the matter and sought their opinions.
An Wan felt that her intuition was very accurate; the people who caused trouble at the pastry shop were never ordinary people.
Everyone was both angry and conflicted, unsure of which method to choose to resolve the matter.
Investigating the matter of Director Lin's brother would be tantamount to slapping Director Lin in the face. The Lu family would also become Director Lin's enemies; it would be strange if he didn't use his position and connections to destroy them.
At this moment, Lu Chunhe had just returned to the shop and also learned about this matter.
He was also angry, troubled, and worried about this.
The family discussed the impact of this incident on their own home and the pastry shop. After ten minutes of discussion, everyone agreed that Director Lin should compensate them with 60,000 yuan.
The Lu family is still too weak to contend with Director Lin.
And the He family can't protect themselves forever.
Only when you become strong will others respect you.
An Wan agreed to accept the 60,000 yuan compensation first, so as not to turn down money.
She used her mobile phone to call Lu Jingxing, telling him to be careful and sign a note with Director Lin explaining the purpose of the 60,000 yuan.
Don't take the compensation money and walk out of the police station only to be caught by the police for stealing Director Lin's money.
Because in China, stealing 60,000 yuan, especially in the 1990s, could result in a criminal suspect serving 50 or 60 years in prison.
If such a thing were to happen, it would be very difficult to prove his innocence.
After all, in most people's eyes, the police station is a good place, the embodiment of justice, and public servants.
But if it weren't for theft, but rather Director Lin falsely accused Lu Jingxing of extorting 60,000 yuan, the matter would be even more serious.
He should probably be sentenced to death.
Lu Sen gave Lu Chunhe a thumbs-up and praised her for being smart.
Lu Jingxing admired her exceptional intelligence and promised to handle the matter well.
The whole family was relieved, but they were still very nervous.
They would continue to worry until they saw Lu Jingxing return home soon.
After discussing for fifteen minutes, Lu Jingxing finally returned to Director Lin's office.
He didn't rush to speak, but slowly took a few sips of tea.
You can't be impatient.
This is how you demonstrate that your decision has achieved the best results.
Director Lin grew anxious and waited for twenty minutes, but still received no reply from Lu Jingxing.
He was terrified that Lu Jingxing wouldn't agree; that would have scared him to death!
"Jingxing, is it because your parents and family don't approve?"
Director Lin couldn't help but ask.
But Lu Jingxing remained expressionless and did not answer, only shaking his head.
Director Lin became even more anxious and asked, "Did your parents agree? Did your younger brothers disagree?"
Lu Jingxing shook his head and continued to drink water from his teacup.
"Is the compensation too little? I know it's a bit low, but this is all the money I have, and it took me a long time to save it up. I hope you can understand. I will support your business in the future and make sure no one else tries to take advantage of our pastry shop."
Director Lin pleaded with Lu Jingxing until he finally got his consent.
"We only agreed this time because of you. Otherwise, we would definitely demand justice."
"Good, good, good! I knew your family was kind. I knew I hadn't misjudged them. As long as I'm in office, I will take care of you."
Director Lin was overjoyed; his face was so full of fat that it seemed to be dancing with laughter.
He took a bag out of the cabinet, opened it, and revealed several bundles of bright red RMB.
"Jingxing, this is yours. Take it back quickly, and I'll have a police car take you there."
Sixty thousand was a huge sum of money in the 1990s.
Lu Jingxing didn't rush to take the money. Instead, he smiled and said, "Director Lin, let's write an agreement! It will prove that you gave me this money, and that I didn't steal it, rob it, or threaten you."
"Huh?" Director Lin was so happy that he didn't expect to have to write an agreement.
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll write an agreement right now to prove that this money is an unconditional gift from me to you. If I ever use this to threaten you in the future, I'm worse than a pig or a dog, and I'll die a horrible death."
Lu Jingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile became more cheerful. "Yes, thank you for your trouble, Director Lin."
Director Lin shook his head. "It's no trouble at all. It's what I should do. I was so busy dealing with my brother's affairs that I even fainted once."
“Director Lin, I know that as an older brother, I should take care of my younger brother, but he is not a child either. He also needs to be responsible for his own actions in order to prevent him from committing crimes again.”
Lu Jingxing spoke without any mercy about Director Lin's younger brother.
"Sigh, he was spoiled by my mother since he was a child. He has an extreme and willful personality, is lazy and loves to take shortcuts, which is why he did what he did last night."
