Chapter 1229: Indeed, compensation is due
Heinrich Oken was bewildered. What did this mean? Go find him a piece of Charlotte DeWitt's autographed clothing? Are you crazy? How much time and energy would it take to find just one piece of clothing? Didn't you say time is precious?
While he was still standing there in shock, Khedira spoke: "I found it, someone is selling it on Amazon, 599 euros, but it's two pieces."
Xiao Peng pointed at Heinrich Oken and said, "Alright then, buy one, get one free. I'll give him both, officer. Is that okay with me? You heard him just now. He said he only wanted one as compensation. So, is it okay for me to give him two at once?"
Heinrich Oken was anxious: "Who knows if what you bought online is genuine?"
Khedira said, "This is sold by the official Charlotte DeWitt fan club. It's guaranteed to be authentic. Any questions?"
"But this is not the one that belongs to me..." He just wants money, who wants a T-shirt!
Xiao Peng slammed the table after hearing this. "Don't push your luck! Officer, you just saw it. He filed a false police report to smear my reputation. Now, either take this shirt or talk to my lawyer about why he's defaming me! Officer, can you handle my report now?"
The older police officer said directly, "Mr. Xiao, your video is here, and the evidence is irrefutable. He must bear the corresponding responsibility! I assume your lawyer must be very professional, right?"
"Of course!" Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "That's quite professional! I can sue him into bankruptcy a hundred times over!"
Heinrich Oken was furious after hearing this: "I was wrong! I'm not suing! Damn it! Police! I want to drop the case!"
"Now it's not a question of whether you withdraw the case or not," the police officer said to O'Ken. "Now it's a question of whether Mr. Xiao will hold you accountable! Mr. Xiao, what do you think?"
Xiao Peng didn't say anything, and Walter on the side took out his wallet directly: "Here is a hundred yuan, do you want to take it? If you don't take it, my boss will give you two pieces of clothes and send you to court. If you take it, we will write off this matter! Officer, is it okay for me to handle it this way?"
The policeman smiled slightly: "Of course, if you negotiate and settle the matter privately, it naturally has nothing to do with us!"
Heinrich Oken looked at the hundred dollars in Walter's hand, thought for a moment, and took the hundred dollars: "Okay, let's just leave it at that! It's my bad luck this time!"
He took the money and turned to leave, but Xiao Peng said, "Wait a minute!"
Heinrich Oken's body trembled, and he looked at Xiao Peng and said, "Mr. Xiao, you said that the matter is over. You won't lie to me, right?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Because you also work in the service area, there are some things you should know. You can also serve as a witness for me."
"What's the matter?" Heinrich Eucken asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng ignored him and turned to the old policeman and asked, "Officer, what's your name?"
"Just call me Freeman," the officer said.
Xiao Peng said, "It's like this, Officer Freeman, I have an idea and I'd like to ask for your opinion."
"Oh?" Freeman was stunned. "Mr. Xiao, do you have anything you want to ask for my advice?"
Xiao Peng said, "This is my first time at the Field Mountain Ski Resort, and I don't know anyone here. You're a police officer here, and you look like a veteran. You should know anyone here, right?"
Freeman laughed and said, "I've been a police officer here for 13 years. Although my rank isn't high, I've always done my best. There's basically everyone here I don't know."
Xiao Peng nodded and continued, "I really like this ski resort. It makes me feel the joy of skiing, but I've discovered many problems here."
Freeman scratched his head. "I know Mr. Xiao encountered danger while skiing this time, but... this matter is really not something I, a small policeman, can have the final say on. Our ski resort here is run by the nearby government, and financial expenditures have always been very tight. I can only express my regret about your experience. And from the perspective of the operator, although we must bear some responsibility for Miss Zeng's experience, it was an emergency at that time. In such inclement weather, the ski resort must prioritize the safety of the majority of people. The main responsibility for Miss Zeng's experience still lies with the criminal suspects. We really can't bear much. Of course, the town means that we will still bear the responsibilities we should bear, but we hope that Mr. Xiao will still consider us. The ski resort will not shirk responsibility in this matter, but its ability is also limited."
He thought Xiao Peng was going to hold them accountable, so he quickly lowered his stance. However, what he said was also the opinion of the ski resort and their local government. They did have to take responsibility for such an incident. Their biggest fear now was that Xiao Peng would use Zeng Yaya's name to "take a huge bite out of them."
With Xiao Peng's ability, that's really not a big problem. After all, they can imagine how powerful Xiao Peng's legal team is, and they can also imagine how great Xiao Peng's interpersonal relationships and energy are.
Before coming here, Freeman was instructed by his leader that if Xiao Peng brought up this matter, he should lower his posture, in other words, beg for mercy.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, Officer Freeman, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that I was planning to donate some money to this place. Such a great ski resort isn't doing as well as expected, and a big reason for that is the aging equipment. And as you can see, both the security and the equipment are seriously inadequate. The windows at the ski resort were even blown to pieces. How unbelievable would that be if I told anyone else?"
"Ah? Donation?" Freeman was stunned after hearing this.
Xiao Peng nodded. "You heard me right. I plan to donate 2 million euros to the ski resort. Don't worry, this money is not my investment, it's just a donation because I like it here. However, I hope the use of this money will be clearly divided: First, 1 million will be used to renovate the mountaintop service station. No, not renovate, but build a new one. Build a modern service station, not the kind that freezes people to death in a blizzard, so that tourists can have a better time. Another 200,000 will be used to renovate the ski slopes. Don't put up such dangerous signs! I almost died on it! The remaining 80 will be used to establish a snow mountain rescue and security system... I hope you can explain my intentions to the local government on this matter."
Freeman was about to answer when Xiao Peng continued, "Also, you have to do me a favor. Compile a list of users of the service station's locker rooms. I have a video that basically matches them up. After all, I burned their clothes. I should express my gratitude by giving each of them 10,000 yuan as a thank you—except, of course, Mr. Heinrich Oken, he already got what he wanted!"
