Han Chengda walked up to Han Fei and called out, "Grandpa."
He lowered his head, his eyes flickering with unease.
I hit the child right after leaving the hospital. Will my grandfather think that the hospital didn't treat the right child and take me to another hospital?
Han Fei patted Han Chengda on the shoulder to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Grandpa is here."
"I'm not afraid," Han Chengda muttered.
“You’re this bastard’s grandfather. He hit my son. Let me tell you, I will not settle this matter. My wife has already taken the child to the hospital. Once the diagnosis report comes out, I will sue you!”
I'll make sure your grandson rots in jail!
"It's so noisy, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Han Fei looked at the police captain.
The captain just went to the door to meet Han Fei, so he wasn't here before; otherwise, things wouldn't have escalated like this.
Police Captain: "This is a police station, not a place for making noise!"
Men are smart too. Seeing the situation, they realized that Han Fei was no ordinary person, so they wisely chose to keep quiet.
Han Fei said to Zhang Jianguo, who had followed him, "Jianguo, show them the video."
The place where Xiaoqi and Xiaopangzi were fighting over a kite was in a blind spot of the park's surveillance cameras, but the whole process was captured by a male internet celebrity who was passing by and filming a short video.
When the video was released, and people saw Xiaoqi fall to the ground and Han Chengda angrily beat the chubby boy, the situation became clear.
Han Chengda's initial act of hitting someone turned into protecting his own sister.
There was a reason for this; it wasn't intentional on their part to join forces with Jiang Hao to deal with Jiang Hao's brother.
“I admit that my grandson was too reckless in this matter, but he was just trying to protect his sister. He's just a hot-blooded young man, and being a little impulsive isn't unforgivable, is it?”
The police captain nodded: "That's true."
The young police officers chimed in, "Yes, what's wrong with protecting your little sister!"
"The young man was just a little impulsive."
"In that situation, I would have done the same."
"That brat was such a brat! Why did he have to snatch that little girl's kite for no reason!"
"Boys stealing things from girls, how shameless!"
Seeing that the situation was overwhelmingly in favor of the old man, the man felt resentful, but he didn't speak rashly. He realized that it was the police captain who spoke first, and only then did the junior officers agree. He knew that anything he said now would be wrong, so he might as well say less and avoid making mistakes.
"I'm willing to pay compensation: the cost of the child's medical treatment, the compensation for emotional distress, and the lost wages for you and your spouse taking care of the child. You can calculate it out and give me a bill, then I will transfer the money to you."
"I told you, I will not reconcile." The man lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.
Previously, he was always the one throwing money at things; this was the first time he felt the humiliation of being the one being shoved.
“There’s something your son said that I really agree with.”
Zhang Jianguo, standing nearby, played a clip from a video, showing a little boy speaking arrogantly and forcefully:
"I have money, so I can buy it! If I can't buy it, it's because I don't have enough money! Dad said there's nothing in this world that a rich person can't buy!"
The man raised his head, his eyes cold, and his tone firm: "I will not reconcile!"
Han Fei glanced at Zhang Jianguo.
Zhang Jianguo understood, took out a checkbook, tore off a check, and handed it over.
The man glanced at it: 100,000.
He chuckled and closed his eyes.
Zhang Jianguo tore off another sheet and placed it on the table.
The man squinted at it, then was suddenly shocked: One million!
Another check appeared in front of him: ten million!
The man's breathing quickened, and he looked at Han Fei in disbelief: "The check is real?"
Speaking on behalf of Zhang Jianguo, he said, "You can go and withdraw the money now, or you can settle things after you withdraw the money. We'll wait for you here."
The man grabbed the check and rushed out of the police station, as if afraid the other party would regret it if he was even a second late.
His company has recently run into some financial troubles. He hasn't paid his taxes properly last year, and he doesn't have any working capital on hand. He's planning to sell his house to cover the shortfall so he can avoid the tax bureau coming after him.
Unexpectedly, getting his son beaten up resulted in over ten million yuan, enough not only to cover tax shortfalls but also to buy another apartment.
He even had a ridiculous idea: if his son was being beaten every day, then a large sum of money would be coming in every day, no wonder so many people are in the business of staging accidents.
"Grandpa, why did you give him so much money?" Han Chengda felt bad for the money. If he could donate it to the orphanage, he didn't know how much good food and drink he could buy for the children.
Han Fei smiled and said, "Money isn't important; you're the most important thing."
Han Chengda was touched, and hung his head: "If I had known that spanking him would cost so much money, I definitely would have spanked myself instead of him!"
When Jiang Hao's adoptive father returned after withdrawing the money, his expression changed completely. He smiled obsequiously and said, "Grandpa, my son deserved a beating. This whole thing was my son's fault. I'm willing to sign a settlement agreement."
Jiang Hao stared at him, feeling disgusted by his obsequious manner.
The thought of going home with such a person and growing up under his kindness made him gag.
Han Chengda asked worriedly, "Jiang Hao, are you alright?"
Jiang Hao took out a pill, swallowed it, and shook his head: "It's nothing."
"What you just took... wasn't one of those kinds of drugs, was it?"
"Um."
"Can I eat whatever I want?"
"I feel unwell. If I don't eat, I feel like I'll go crazy."
After the settlement agreement was signed, Jiang Hao's adoptive father looked at Jiang Hao with a gloomy expression: "Aren't you coming home with me now!"
"Just wait until I get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Jiang Hao remained motionless, standing still.
"You ungrateful wretch, are you planning to stay at the police station?! Get out of here!"
Jiang Hao looked at his adoptive father with a gloomy expression.
"What kind of look is that! Believe me or not, I'll beat you to death!" The man raised his hand to strike.
The police captain gripped his wrist tightly and said coldly, "You want to assault someone in the police station?"
Upon seeing the handcuffs in the police captain's hand, the man chickened out: "I... I just acted on impulse. I won't hit anyone, I really won't."
"You brat, aren't you coming back with me!"
Jiang Hao remained motionless.
The man gritted his teeth in anger: "If you're so capable, then never come home with me! Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
He had already figured out how to deal with this ungrateful wretch who had made him lose face at the police station when he got back.
They tied him up with hemp rope and hung him from the ceiling fan, refusing to let him down until he begged for mercy.
If we had known earlier that my wife and I would have a biological son, who would have chosen to adopt a child!
Now that we've adopted him, we can't just abandon him. Besides, he's already so grown up. In two more years, after he graduates from high school, he can start earning money and become a servant to our son. It's not bad at all.
"Aren't you coming back with me?" the man growled, suppressing his anger.
Jiang Hao stood there, then suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was loud; he laughed so hard he looked up at the sky, and as he laughed, tears streamed down his face.
"What's wrong with you!" the man growled.
Jiang Hao exhaled, clenched his fist, and mustered his courage: "Does the police station have surveillance footage? I'm going to report him for abuse, and I want to terminate the adoption!"
