Old Deng is reborn in the 1980s, and he starts by severing his father-son relationship!

Chen Deshun looked at the old policeman in front of him who was trying to use both carrot and stick, but he was completely unmoved.

First, they make threats and intimidate, then they use emotional blackmail, and finally they present the so-called "real" benefits.

It is reasonable, compassionate, and advantageous.

After this series of combined measures, most people might actually agree to mediation.

Unfortunately, he was no ordinary person.

Having lived two lives, I've seen it all.

If it were that simple to let the Huang family go, why go through all the trouble from the beginning?

His tone was slightly cold: "I trust the government and I trust the law. Right now, what I care about most is the extent of my son's injuries. Shouldn't we wait for the official injury assessment report to come out and see how the law classifies the injury before we talk about anything else? Otherwise, it's too early to say anything now."

"If the injury is determined to be minor and constitutes a crime, I firmly demand that the public security authorities handle it according to the law. Those who should be detained should be detained, and those who should be held criminally liable should be held criminally liable. I don't believe that everything can be glossed over with 'mediation'."

The word "mediation" was emphasized.

The old policeman, who had just been wearing a kind smile, froze instantly at Chen Deshun's words. His face turned as red as if it had been dyed, alternating between white and red, a truly fascinating sight.

Zheng Yi, who was standing next to him, also noticed that the atmosphere in the room was not right. He was about to say something to ease the tension when he heard the old policeman grunt and his tone was no longer as amiable as before.

"You're the elder, you have to think about the whole family, not just vent your anger. Your daughter is crying and begging us, doesn't it hurt us to see her like this?"

"We have so many cases every day, we can't possibly focus solely on your family. If you agree to mediation, we'll help you get justice. But if you firmly disagree, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You won't have another chance to mediate then!"

Do you really think he's just an ordinary citizen who doesn't understand the law at all?

Chen Deshun chuckled and replied leisurely, "I don't need compensation. I only hope that the law will be fair and that the criminals will be severely punished. That is my only demand."

"you!"

The old policeman was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He suddenly stood up from his chair, pointed at Chen Deshun, and couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, he could only shake his hand angrily, turn around and leave the room with a livid face.

Chen Deshun watched his husband's angry departure and smiled contemptuously.

No matter what level you're in, you still try to outsmart him.

The combined age of my two lifetimes is enough to be his great-grandfather.

To try and show off one's skills in front of Guan Yu is to overestimate one's abilities.

Zheng Yi turned his head to look at the open door, his heart filled with turmoil.

He had never seen Brother Song suffer a setback in front of the parties involved.

Brother Song is a well-known "mediation expert" in the police station. No matter how difficult the dispute is, he can resolve it in just a few words.

But today, his proudest moves failed him in front of Chen Deshun.

Zheng Yi's gaze returned to Chen Deshun, his eyes filled with confusion. He lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Chen, Brother Song is actually a very nice person, don't take it to heart. By the way, why...why didn't you try to negotiate with Brother Song earlier?"

In his view, the biggest difficulty in mediation is the distribution of benefits.

One party felt they were giving too much, while the other felt they weren't giving enough, leading to a stalemate.

But Chen Deshun didn't even bother to talk; he simply blocked the road, which seemed a bit illogical.

Moreover, the two parties are relatives, so the essence of the matter is a public security dispute caused by family conflicts.

The Huang family expressed their willingness to pay compensation and agreed to return the money, but why is Chen Deshun's attitude still so resolute?

Even if the relationship between the two families has deteriorated to the point of irreconcilable conflict, shouldn't they at least make some concessions for the sake of their own daughter?

Zheng Yi felt a little uneasy when he saw Chen Deshun scrutinizing him with a critical look.

He leaned forward and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Uncle, if you have any requests that you're not comfortable telling others, you can tell me. As long as it doesn't violate the rules, I'll do my best to help you."

On the one hand, he thought Chen Deshun was a good person and was the victim; on the other hand, Chen Deshun had just given him a great reward, and although he was just a low-ranking policeman, he still understood the principle of repaying kindness.

Chen Deshun looked at the innocent-looking young policeman in front of him, then glanced discreetly at the doorway. After confirming no one was there, he slowly spoke, his voice deep and serious:

"Conditions can be discussed, but not now."

"Medical expenses? Nutritional expenses? That's just a few dollars. Are you trying to feed a beggar?"

"As long as I don't give an inch, you'll have to proceed with the process. Huang Xumin, Huang Xudong, Xie Shuzhen—every single one of them in the Huang family, whether it's classified as a gang fight or intentional assault, they'll be in serious trouble."

"Once the case enters the judicial process, who do you think will hold the initiative?"

Zheng Yi's eyes widened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look around nervously before whispering, "Uncle, you can't just say things like that."

Seeing his flustered appearance, Chen Deshun couldn't help but chuckle: "What did I say? Did you mishear me?"

Since he dared to say it, he naturally wasn't afraid that Zheng Yi would spread it.

Although the young man was dressed in a tiger skin, he was still a novice and too inexperienced. Once he left the room, he would absolutely not admit that he had said those words.

The reason I told him was because he had just taken the initiative to be friendly to me. Maybe he remembered the favor I had done by bringing Li Wei here, or maybe it was out of sympathy, or maybe for some other reason... it doesn't matter.

Since that's the case, we might as well go with the flow and give it a try. After all, waiting for the case to move forward would take too long. If we have someone inside to help, the case can be resolved more quickly.

"What's your relationship with that guy?" Chen Deshun didn't continue on that topic. He pointed to the spot where the old policeman had just been sitting and asked casually.

Zheng Yi opened his mouth, about to answer, but Chen Deshun waved his hand, interrupting him: "Never mind."

I had intended to offer this young man some advice.

Sometimes, following the right people is more important than doing the right things. You need to learn to see things from the perspective of the ship, rather than from the perspective of the shore.

But when the words came out, I felt that it was too much to ask such a casual question, that it was meddling in other people's business, and that saying these things would be abrupt and could be seen as trying to sow discord.

Then, changing the subject as if nothing had happened, she said calmly, "I suddenly remembered something, it's about Li Wei."

"Hmm? What's wrong with Li Wei?" Zheng Yi asked suspiciously.

"Hmm... his situation is a bit special."

Chen Deshun pondered for a moment and said, "I'll let it go if I get my two bicycles back. I don't know how many other things he's done before, but if he's really going to be sentenced, I hope we can take his family situation into consideration."

He stopped there and sighed softly.

Li Wei has been a "Buddha" for a long time, and he is most likely a "habitual thief," so going to jail is almost a certainty.

Even if he didn't lie on the way, and his mother was seriously ill and his family was in financial difficulty, these factors alone could only play a very limited role in sentencing him leniently. But that was all he could do.
