Qin Xuan's injuries took about a week to heal.
The police called, asking if the matter could be settled privately. Ye Zhizhou firmly refused their request. No matter what, Su Rui's injury was a fact, and Qin Xuan's injury could not be left unpunished.
Immediately afterwards, Su Rui's family hired the best lawyer to mediate the matter. The lawyer knew that Su Rui had no advantage at all, so he decided to resolve the matter in a more amicable way and took the initiative to call Ye Zhizhou.
“Miss Ye, the Su family wants to talk to you to see if there’s any room for negotiation. After all, Su Rui is just an ordinary girl, and she may have acted in a moment of confusion. What do you think…?”
Ye Zhizhou gripped his phone, his brow furrowed. The utility knife had precisely pierced Qin Xuan's abdomen. How dare they say Su Rui had acted out of momentary confusion?
"Attorney Lin, is that it? Let me tell you, I will not meet with the Su family. By the way, I will pursue this matter to the end no matter what. There is no way you'll expect me to forgive Su Rui."
After saying that, Ye Zhizhou hung up the phone without hesitation, not giving the other party a chance to make amends.
On the Su family's side, seeing the lawyer hang up the phone, Su's mother hurriedly came up to ask.
"Attorney Lin, what's the situation? Is Ye Zhizhou willing to settle? We're willing to accept either an apology or compensation."
Attorney Lin shook his head and sighed, "Ms. Ye firmly rejected me. Ms. Chen, to be honest, the consequences of your daughter's actions are very unfavorable to us, and I am not entirely confident that we can win."
Su's mother had a very serious expression on her face and looked helplessly at Su's father.
"Honey, think of something. Rui'er has just started college and is in the prime of her youth. She can't have a criminal record, otherwise it will affect her future."
Su's father had a square face with his brows furrowed into a deep frown. He snorted coldly, "It's all your fault for spoiling her. She dared to do something like this. Does she really think we're invincible? It's Qin Xuan who got hurt!"
People in the business world all know Ye Huaibin, but very few know Qin Xuan; Su's father is one of the few who do.
Su's mother slumped onto the sofa, tears welling up in her eyes. Between sobs, she said, "What can we do? Are we just going to watch Rui'er get sentenced?"
Su's father closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then seemed to have an idea. "Although we can't persuade Ye Zhizhou, the classmates who were there at the time might be able to. As long as you have money, what can't you do?"
Su's mother's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became excited. "You're right! With them as witnesses, maybe Rui'er can avoid being sentenced. Husband, this is a great idea!"
Looking at Su Rui's parents' reaction, Attorney Lin felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Although this method was effective, it didn't necessarily mean that Ye Zhizhou's methods were any worse. However, he was just a lawyer, and his job was to help his clients solve problems; these things were not his concern.
A few days later, the trial for Su Rui's assault at school officially began, with Ye Zhizhou appearing in court in place of Qin Xuan.
"At the time, Ye Zhizhou was the one who started cursing at Su Rui, so Su Rui couldn't help but retaliate."
"Yes, Ye Zhizhou said some really nasty things. Su Rui was trying to be nice and greeted Ye Zhizhou, but he not only didn't appreciate it, he even said that Su Rui was throwing herself at him."
In court, when it was the witnesses' turn to speak, two classmates who had been watching earlier began to condemn Ye Zhizhou in an emotional manner.
