The police Zhang Wei had called over turned out to be pretty useless; the detective from the squad had no jurisdiction over this area.
The officer from the political department was slightly better, stating that he had good relationships with several inspectors and that he was a personal witness to todayâs events. If things were to be handled officially, he definitely couldnât allow the other party to just make calls and influence the work of the grassroots police officers.
However, Feng Jun and Wang Haifeng were not new to the social scene, and they just maintained a superficial enthusiasm.
President Feng was also keen on interacting more with these two officers to see how things would develop in the future and how to proceed with their relationship, but Coach Wang quietly indicated, âSince they came without giving a heads up⦠itâs Xiao Wei theyâre targeting.â
He had grown up pampered and was well-off, having had countless people trying to curry favor with him in the past. He was quite aware and direct when it came to detecting such insincere flattery.
They had barely exchanged a few words when the police car arrived, but seeing that the situation was already controlled, the police car withdrew quite a distance away.
The bar must have greased some palms to be doing business here, so of course, the police couldnât park their car right at the door, affecting the businessâeven though they had already seen a heap of people lying on the ground.
Two plainclothes officers approached, asking in an official tone, âWhat happened, who called the police?â
A customer who was brimming with a sense of justice had called the police⦠that⦠should be encouraged. Then Manager Chang stepped forward, attempting to explain the situation.
The officer gestured with his hand, stopping her, and spoke without any courtesy, âWeâre asking the parties involved right now, itâs not your turn yet.â
Manager Chang glared at him fiercely and turned away: Iâve wasted my efforts catering to you in the past!
The officer was also somewhat helpless, I donât want to do this either, but⦠there were too many onlookers.
Just then, someone called out to him, and he looked over, annoyed, only to be shocked to find that it was a schoolmate from the police academy, who now works in the political department at the municipal bureau.
He knew it wasnât anything good, but still had to go over and ask quietly, âWhat are you doing here?â
âCalled over by a friend,â the officer replied without hiding anything, speaking softly, âTake care of the side thatâs hitting people.â
âTake care⦠Weâll still have to bring them back afterward,â the officer who had arrived took out a cigarette, lit it, and spoke leisurely.
âSocial media is too powerful these days, Weibo, friendsâ circles, you canât feel it sitting in the office, the boss hates that weâre not carrying our law enforcement recorders 24 hours a day.â
The officer from the political department looked around, âWhereâs the equipment? I didnât see it.â
âItâs in the car, no rush,â the arriving officer replied languidly, âFirst, we need to understand the situation, we havenât started dealing with it yet⦠That boss is quite fierce, if we can avoid filming, we film as little as possible.â
Logically speaking, with Feng Jun taking down so many people, the police should have first sent people for treatment upon arriving at the scene, but if they really handled things professionally, it would be utterly embarrassing.
Two groups with some clout came to blows over jealousy and competition. You folks might as well call your parents for a greeting first. In reality, what the officer who arrived was thinking was: these bored guys would do society a favor by wiping each other out, at least the social atmosphere wouldnât worsen as a result.
The short one was thrown hard, raising a large bump on his forehead, and he only somewhat regained his senses when he noticed the police had arrived.
Then someone quietly informed him that the first person who had sneak-attacked the other side had his nose bridge smashed into his face.
Upon hearing this, the short one sprang up and shouted, âWhat are we waiting for, get him to the hospital fast.â
This wasnât merely an issue of a broken nose bridge; it could easily become a matter of life and death.
âI dare anyone to leave,â Feng Jun spoke coldly, âWhoever leaves, Iâll beat them up!â
âHey, how can you talk like that?â one of the officers objected, eyes widening, âDo you take us for dead?â
His tone may not have been that nice, but you couldnât blame him for getting angryâplease, there are two live cops right here!
Feng Jun, however, answered with conviction, âThat guy was trying to murder me, he just failed⦠he can go get treated, but I have a condition, you guys must send someone to follow.â
Attempted murder? The speaking officer was also startled by these words, knowing some people would exaggerate or even fabricate lies when facing the police. But still⦠the words âattempted murderâ were somewhat shocking.
At this moment, Manager Chang came over, mobile phone in hand, âPresident Feng, theyâve agreed to a settlement⦠What do you think?â
Feng Jun frowned, asking puzzledly, âSettlement, what do you mean?â
âLetting this fight slide,â Manager Chang spread her hands, âAfter all, you didnât lose out, right?â
Feng Jun thought for a moment and held up two fingers, âTwo problems, first⦠what about Xiao Bing?â
âXiao Bing, they wonât touch her anymore,â Manager Chang replied gravely, but she couldnât help but internally praise the young President Feng, You donât mention the damage to your own car first but instead worry about Xiao Bing. Truly a person of loyalty and honor, it wasnât in vain that I made that call to the Third Brother.
Nevertheless, although the other party was loyal and honorable, Xiao Bingâs issue had to be dealt with, âFinance will give Xiao Bing five thousand later, and she shouldnât come anymore.â
âOh?â Feng Jun heard this and raised his eyebrows, âWhy wonât you let her come anymore?â
Itâs not a good livelihood, working the nightlife, Manager Chang couldnât help muttering to herself internally.
She replied with slight helplessness, âAlthough the incident is over, we canât guarantee that the other party wonât bear a grudge and strike us from behind⦠For safetyâs sake, itâs better she doesnât come. If something happens to her, President Feng, you would be distressed, right?â
In fact, there was something else she didnât say. With President Fengâs support behind Xiao Bing, if she became complacent, it was very likely that she would become a destabilizing factor in the company. And Manager Chang had no intention of sharing her power with anyone else.
Feng Jun felt that if Li Xiaobin wasnât coming, then so be it. Besides, what the other party said did make sense, so he nodded, âThe second point is⦠I donât want my car anymore. They should buy me a new one of the same model.â
âThatâ¦should be okay,â Manager Chang nodded, after all, it was just a small car, âIâll talk to them about it, luckily⦠itâs not that Q7 owned by your friend.â
âDonât even mention it!â a nearby police officer interjected, the very one who had been impolite to her, âDo you know what kind of car that is?â
Manager Chang took another look at the car and hesitated, âIs it⦠not a Magotan?â
The officer rolled his eyes, âThatâs the big brother of the Magotan⦠the Phaeton!â
However, it was very unfortunate that Manager Chang was also a woman, and her knowledge about cars was even less than Xia Xiaoyu and Yu Qingzhuâs. She hesitated before asking, âPhaeton⦠itâs more expensive, right?â
âRight, just a little bit more expensive,â the policeman nodded, âJust an extra zero.â
Upon hearing this, Manager Chang inhaled sharply, âThis Phaeton car, does it cost two million?â
The short man, who was vehemently gesticulating, heard this and his body jolted violently. After a prolonged moment, he turned his head with difficulty.
He took another careful look at the âPassat,â his legs went weak, and he slumped onto the ground, âDamn⦠thatâs a trap.â
He had thought he was confronting a small business owner, and hitting a Passat wouldnât be a big deal.
Who would have thought he had hit a Phaeton?
Whatâs worse, the owner of a Phaeton, if not out of their mind, had to be incredibly wealthy.
A small business owner might grit their teeth and buy a Mercedes, a BMW, or even a Q7 to show off, but would definitely not buy a Phaetonâit was too easy to turn swagger into a blunder.
After knowing the price of the Phaeton, Manager Chang didnât dare to make promises about claiming compensation for Feng Jun. She merely stated, âI can convey your request, but whether they accept it or not, I canât guarantee⦠President Feng, if you think Iâm meddling, Iâll stay out of it.â
If she stayed out of it, Feng Jun would have to face the police interrogation directly.
Feng Jun wasnât afraid of interrogation, especially with the surveillance footage as evidence. But to tell the truth, he also disliked trouble.
Instead of spending another night at the police station, heâd rather go home, get some sleep, and recharge.
So after a brief contemplation, he nodded slightly, âAlright, letâs leave todayâs matter as it is. If it can be settled privately, just convey my demands to the other party.â
Manager Chang smiled and nodded, âSure, I can guarantee that.â
Indeed, she could guarantee it because she knew very well who President Wu, the father of the young Mr. Wu, was. He was definitely not a gentleman, but he seldom got into pointless disputes under normal circumstances.
In fact, she had just helped President Wu fend off a potentially formidable adversary. The Third Brother had just said over the phone to help smooth things over with President FengââLao Wu will be grateful to you.â
Thatâs why she had the courage to make such a commitment.
But her words didnât sit well with the police officers who came to enforce the law, âSettle it privately? You must be joking. After causing such an injury, and even with Yaoyao Ling displaying an alarm, how can it not be dealt with?â
âItâs just a civil dispute,â Manager Chang looked at them and said flatly, âYou consider it a successful mediation, and itâs done, right?â
Most of the characters who frequented this entertainment bar had status and seldom caused trouble, but that didnât mean trouble never occurred. As the lobby manager who had handled many emergencies, she was well-acquainted with the situationâand the police preferred to avoid trouble when they could.
However, when those words came out of her mouth, the police didnât take kindly to it, âIs it over because you say so? Shouldnât we consider the victimâs wishes?â
Feng Jun, upon hearing this, glared, âHey, I am the victim here, alright?â
The officers didnât bother with him, knowing this guy was tough to handle, so they just ignored him for now.
Manager Chang picked up her mobile phone again, âWait, youâll get a call from your superior.â
Soon enough, a police officerâs mobile phone rang. He walked aside to answer, and after a single phrase, he gestured, âLao Zhang, letâs go⦠Thereâs nothing more to do here!â
Since the conflicting parties had reconciled and their superiors had issued instructions, if they persisted, they would offend all three sides.
Feng Jun glanced at his car and turned to walk towards the Q7, âManager Chang, Iâll leave my car here. You keep the keys.â
Without waiting for Manager Changâs reaction, he took Li Xiaobin and got into Wang Haifengâs car.
The Q7âs taillights lit up, and it slowly left the parking lot.
