91: Chapter 91 Tug-of-war_1 91: Chapter 91 Tug-of-war_1 Su Yan’s live streaming room was really bustling.
Meanwhile, in the police station’s mediation room, Jiang Xingwei thought he had Li Changlin and Lin Ruonan completely figured out.
The corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and his face unabashedly revealed a mocking cold smile.
Facing this situation, both Li Changlin and Gao Yuanming were extremely annoyed.
However, they were now in a weaker position and certainly had no right to talk back.
“The price is too high,” Li Changlin finally said with gravity after a long time.
“Compared to going to prison, what is a mere one million!” Jiang Xingwei snorted lightly and then chuckled, “Actually, there’s another way, isn’t there?
As long as Miss Lin agrees to my earlier proposal, I can completely forego the compensation of one million units!”
“In your dreams!” Li Changlin certainly understood the implication of Jiang Xingwei’s words, and his face immediately grew dark.
“If this can’t be done, and that can’t be done, then what do you want!” Jiang Xingwei slammed his hand on the table and glared coldly at Li Changlin.
“Don’t be unreasonable!” Li Changlin was internally conflicted; although he had made a bit of money last night, it was pitiful compared to one million units.
Especially since the Wuxiang Legion’s withdrawal protocol also specified a daily limit for the amount a host could withdraw, and Li Changlin, having no status in the Wuxiang Legion at present, naturally couldn’t demand a full withdrawal from the Legion.
Besides, even if Li Changlin could manage a full withdrawal, that mere amount of over 300,000 units was still far from meeting Jiang Xingwei’s demands.
For a moment, Li Changlin was utterly frustrated, angrily clenching his fists and slamming them down on the table.
Seeing Li Changlin’s reaction, Jiang Xingwei’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly.
He was the legitimate heir of the Jiang Family, holding unsurpassed power in Jincheng.
What was Li Changlin in comparison, and how could he possibly outdo himself!
“Fine, we’ll pay!” However, to everyone’s surprise, the voice of Lin Ruonan suddenly rang out calmly.
“Miss Lin is really willing to compensate Mr.
Jiang one million units?” Director Lu, also surprised, couldn’t help but look up and ask.
“That’s correct, I agree to Mr.
Jiang’s compensation demand,” Lin Ruonan nodded and confirmed once more.
“Good, if that’s the case, then our mediation agreement can be easily processed,” Director Lu chuckled, then turned to Captain Chen, “Captain Chen, please prepare the agreement in triplicate immediately, and also draw up a mediation statement.”
“Sure, I’ll get on it right away,” Captain Chen quickly stood up and said with a smile.
“Hold on a second.” Just as Captain Chen turned to leave, Lin Ruonan suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.
“Does Miss Lin have any further comments?” Director Lu asked with a smile, looking over.
“Director Lu, it seems you have forgotten something,” Lin Ruonan calmly met Director Lu’s gaze and spoke placidly.
“Oh, what have I forgotten?” asked Director Lu with great surprise, eagerly inquiring.
“You responded to all of Sky Horse Bar and Mr.
Jiang’s claims, but we have yet to receive a response regarding the losses Lin Changlin and I have suffered.
I wonder if Sky Horse Bar and Mr.
Jiang can give us an explanation?” Lin Ruonan said with a teasing smile, then turned her head and looked at Manager Song and Jiang Xingwei playfully.
“I knew it wasn’t so simple, you were waiting here all along!” Director Lu quickly came to the realization and his demeanor settled down accordingly.
If Lin Ruonan really had compensated Jiang Xingwei and Sky Horse Bar’s money, that would have put him in a difficult position.
After all, this case was assigned from above, and the instructions given to him were to ensure, by any means necessary, that Lin Ruonan did not come out at a loss.
Loss is such a broad term.
In Director Lu’s mind, he couldn’t figure out whether compensation counted as a loss.
But after thinking it over, compensating Sky Horse Bar with 100,000 units and giving Jiang Xingwei one million face-to-face, that just seemed ridiculous.
How could so much money be so easily available!
Besides, with Lin Ruonan’s background, did she need to spend so much money to solve the problem?
Therefore, upon hearing Lin Ruonan’s challenge, Director Lu also had a good guess of what was going on.
Meanwhile, Li Changlin and Gao Yuanming were also invigorated, understanding that the real drama was about to unfold.
They immediately readied themselves for a dispute with Jiang Xingwei and Manager Song.
What do you have to say?” On the flip side, Jiang Xingwei couldn’t help but furrow his brow upon hearing Lin Ruonan’s words.
This woman, she doesn’t seem to be a fool at all.
What sort of game is she trying to play?
For the moment, Jiang Xingwei felt a headache coming on, and an instinctual caution began to stir within him.
“Exactly, the situation has been clarified.
You just need to compensate us, and stop stirring up unnecessary trouble!” Manager Song was also worried about complications and his tone became noticeably more stern.
“Li Changlin and I were beaten up in the Sky Horse Bar.
May I ask, Manager Song, doesn’t the Sky Horse Bar have to bear any responsibility?” Manager Song was the first one to jump out, and of course, Lin Ruonan would target her first attack at him.
Manager Song’s face changed slightly, and he coldly said, “You were fighting, what does that have to do with our bar!”
“Ah, Manager Song speaks so lightly,” Li Changlin chimed in from the side.
“At the time, your bar’s security did come over, and you were there personally as well.
May I ask, Manager Song, why didn’t you intervene then?”
If Manager Song had been able to stop both sides promptly, the situation would not have escalated to this point.
Even though Lin Ruonan had already injured two of Jiang Xingwei’s friends by that time, the Sky Horse Bar itself had suffered no losses.
“This is your problem.
Pushing it onto our bar, what are you implying!” When faced with Li Changlin’s questioning, Manager Song certainly couldn’t openly respond.
This situation was clear to anyone with eyes.
The Sky Horse Bar was clearly at fault.
As a service establishment, if conflicts arise between guests, it is naturally the bar’s responsibility to intervene immediately.
Yet, Manager Song, out of concern for Jiang Xingwei’s status and background, had let subsequent events unfold.
Under these circumstances, for the Sky Horse Bar to be asking for compensation was absolutely absurd.
“The Sky Horse Bar has a significant responsibility for failing to stop the fight between both parties,” said Director Lu, who spoke up while unwaveringly looking at Manager Song.
“Director, Director Lu, it’s not as she says.
At that time, the situation…” Upon hearing Director Lu’s decisive words, Manager Song immediately panicked, hastily standing up and starting to explain incoherently.
Only, it was not an easy matter to explain.
Moreover, his reasoning couldn’t be brought up to the table for discussion.
