Han Tao thought about it and said, "Andy and the others also have a point. The Fan family is now full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and Xiao Fan can't be with them all the time, so we should avoid it if we can.
Furthermore, the investigation, trial, and investigation of criminal cases are all time-consuming and labor-intensive. If this is not necessary, we should try to maximize our profits.”
Qiu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "Andy, Sister Fan, what if they refuse to pay?"
"That's too easy, just do what you have to do! Just send them in directly."
Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao mention sending the other party in again, Fan Shengmei became a little worried and looked at Han Tao and asked:
"If we send them in, what if their families come back and cause trouble for my parents?"
"Of course we should call the police, arrest the troublemakers, and prosecute them. Otherwise, are you going to give them money every day?
These people are bullies who only care about the weak and fear the strong. They will not thank you for letting them go. As long as you retreat a little, they will pounce on you and bite you.
"Besides, does your family have that much money? Even if you buy a house, it's only 500,000 or 600,000. If you give it to them, will your father stop taking medicine in the future?"
........................
Chapter 718 No distinction between right and wrong
After hearing Han Tao's words, Fan Shengmei's mother Liu Meilan could no longer sit still and ran out from the inner room.
"No, no! Xiaomei, we can't make this too big of a fuss. Didn't you hear what those people said? If we make a big fuss, your brother will go to jail too!
As long as they don't cause us any more trouble, we'll just let it go and not pursue the matter, okay? We don't want them to return our money, we just want to live a peaceful life for a few days."
"Aunt Fan, are you kidding? Even in this situation, you're still thinking about your unfortunate son. Why don't you think about your daughter?"
"Little girl, how can you say that? Why didn't I consider Xiaomei? Xiaomei is not at home all year round. If we don't rely on her brother, who can we rely on?
Anyway, this is all your fault. If you hadn't instigated the sale of her brother's house, there wouldn't have been so much trouble if you had been willing to lend money to Xiaomei. And you still say we're good friends!"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads speechlessly. This old lady was mentally ill. She was just thinking about her son and only her son.
Even at this time, they still don't care what the current situation is, and they are typical of not being able to distinguish right from wrong.
"Mom, stop it. Without my friends, my dad would be gone. My friends have helped so much, how can you say that!"
Fan Shengmei's face turned green with anger. She grabbed her mother and dragged her inside, saying, "Besides, no one sent my brother to jail. He caused trouble all on his own. He deserves it!"
"I know, I know, your friend has been a great help, and as a woman, I'm worried, right?
I don't know how your brother and sister-in-law are doing outside. You must help them. They can't go to jail. Otherwise, what will happen to Lei Lei? "
Liu Meilan is a typical bully at home, timid in front of outsiders, but very decisive when it comes to her daughter.
"Mom, what do you think of me? I'm not omnipotent, and I can't handle things like this.
Even when you were being harassed, I had to rely on Andy and Han Tao to resolve it. My brother and sister-in-law can only pray for the best."
At this time, Fan Shengmei was suppressing her anger, and her anger was on the verge of exploding.
"No, Xiaomei. Don't say that. When your brother ran away, he didn't even have a change of clothes, and he didn't have much money. He couldn't even afford to eat or have a place to stay."
Liu Meilan burst into tears and even knelt down before Fan Shengmei as she spoke, "Xiaomei, please beg your friends.
We have no other requests, as long as they don't cause trouble for your brother, and we don't need them to accompany us, as long as we can live in peace!"
This scene made everyone present feel a little awkward. Han Tao looked at the others and said, "Let's go down. We still need to go to the police station to take a statement. We'll finish this as soon as possible and send you to the hotel to rest."
Andy nodded and looked at Fan Shengmei, "Little Sister Fan, let's go downstairs first and settle our uncle down!"
Qiu Yingying nodded and said casually, "Yes, yes, yes. Sister Fan, please come down quickly too. Let's go take the statement together and then go to the hotel. I've never stayed in a star-rated hotel before!"
"Sister Fan, we'll go downstairs and wait for you!" Guan Juer also followed Qiu Yingying out.
Hearing everyone say this, Fan Shengmei chased out the door and bowed, "Han Tao, Andy, I'm sorry, I......"
Andy saw her crying and comforted her, "Fan Xiaomei, don't be like this. You have helped us before, haven't you? We are all friends. Go see your uncle. We are waiting for you downstairs."
Qiu Yingying wiped her tears and said, "Sister Fan, no one will blame you. You usually take care of us, and now that you have something to do, of course we have to help you.
I think Auntie is anxious, that's why she said that, just explain it to her!"
"Well, thank you, little earthworm, and thank you everyone!" Fan Shengmei nodded, watched them go downstairs, and then turned back to the house.
I had been planning to talk to my mother about the implications of this and then go downstairs, but before I could open my mouth, the home phone rang.
"Mom, the phone is ringing. Do you want to answer it or should I?"
"Just answer it. I'll go inside to see your dad!"
"Hello!"
Fan Shengmei turned on the hands-free modem, and as soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end asked, "Hello, are you a relative of Fan Shengying?"
"Yes, I am his sister. Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm..." The person on the other end of the phone introduced himself and then got straight to the point, "Your brother and sister-in-law were arrested in this anti-pornography and anti-illegal publication campaign. You need to come over to handle the paperwork.
Although the two of them were mainly responsible for distributing flyers at the entrance of the train station hotel, they still have responsibilities. Your family members should come over as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Fan Shengmei's head was about to explode, and she was in a panic. "I'm sorry, officer, I have something to do and I can't get away!
My father just had a stroke and can't speak or move. My mother needs to take care of him, so she can't go.
Besides, my brothers are all adults, they can take responsibility for themselves.”
"In that case, I guess they might have to suffer a bit!" said the policeman on the other end of the phone.
"That was their own doing. There's nothing anyone can do about it. Will they be sentenced?"
"As for the specific situation, let's wait until your family arrives to find out. But when you have time, you still have to come over as soon as possible. Is that okay with you?"
Hearing the police say this, Fan Shengmei ended the conversation immediately and said, "Thank you, officer. I'll see what happens next. Bye!"
"Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, we can't just wait until the time comes to talk about it. How could your brother and sister-in-law do something illegal?
They must have made a mistake. Call them back and tell them you'll be there tomorrow." Liu Meilan rushed out of the house, holding Fan Shengmei tightly.
"I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself!" Without thinking, Fan Shengmei refused directly.
Liu Meilan was a little anxious. "I have to take care of your father! Besides, I don't know anything. What's the point of going? Xiaomei, you should go. You must save your brother and sister-in-law this time."
"Why should I save them? They brought this upon themselves!"
"Xiaomei, don't say such angry words. Your friends are very powerful. Ask them to help. Your brother and sister-in-law really can't go to jail!
"The situation here hasn't been resolved yet, and now a new problem has arisen. Why do we have so many disasters in our family? And you sold your brother's house. If you don't take care of them, who will?"
"Mom, who do you think I am? You just said that in front of me, and now you want to ask for help. I can't afford to lose face.
As for my brother's house, he sold it to save my dad, and I paid the down payment and I'm paying the mortgage, so I can sell it and buy it if I want!"
"How could you be so cruel? If you had taken care of your brother, would he have run away? If he hadn't run away, how could he have committed such a crime?"
"Mom, I'm telling you, I won't care about what you said. Take good care of my dad. I'm going to the police station first and will be back soon."
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei..."
.....................
When Qiu Yingying got downstairs, she looked back at the corridor of Fan Shengmei's house and said with emotion, "Sister Fan is so pitiful. Her mother only has her brother in her heart."
"There's nothing to be pitiful about. She's just spoiled herself. If Sister Fan had rejected her family's unreasonable demands earlier and refused to be exploited by her brother and family, perhaps there wouldn't be so many problems."
"Xiao Qu!" Andy called Qu Xiaoxiao, then shook his head, signaling her to stop talking.
Han Tao went to communicate with the two policemen, and the middle-aged policeman and the young policeman took the group away first.
Andy, Qu Xiaoxiao and the others waited for Fan Shengmei to come down and then went directly to the police station.
........................
Chapter 719: Thoughts That Can Never Change
As the sun set, Han Tao and his group finally left the police station and rushed to the hotel he had booked in advance.
After several people completed the check-in procedures, everyone prepared to go back to their rooms to rest and then eat.
They drove on the road early in the morning and then spent the whole day battling with that gang of people. They were really exhausted.
"Everyone, take your room cards. If you need anything, call the housekeeping department directly. All your expenses will be recorded on the room cards. We will settle the bill together after we leave.
By the way, this hotel's restaurant is pretty good. You guys can have dinner together. I have to hurry back home, so I won't accompany you."
Han Tao said this mainly to Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying and others, because Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao didn't need any instructions at all.
"Brother Han, thank you for taking us to such a nice hotel. I am both nervous and happy now!" Qiu Yingying said excitedly after getting the room card.
Qu Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, curled her lips before Han Tao responded, "What are you making a fuss about? There are many better hotels in Shanghai than this one. Don't say you're my friend when you go out. You can't afford to lose face."
"What's wrong? I like it. I'm happy to say it! Brother Han is so rich, but he always treats us very kindly, unlike you who always speaks in a sarcastic way!"
"You're itching for trouble, aren't you? You dare to talk back to me!" After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao pretended to spank Qiu Yingying.
Guan Juer saw where the two of them were playing around, and pulled Fan Shengmei aside and said, "Actually, I've never stayed in such a nice hotel before. Sister Fan, why don't you have dinner with us before you leave!"
"Of course I have to eat with you all before I leave. I also want to toast you all and thank you for helping me today."
Fan Shengmei smiled and touched Guan Juer's hair, then turned to Han Tao and said, "By the way, Han Tao, thank you so much for what happened today!"
"Let's not be polite. Once you've dealt with your family affairs, you should go back and work hard.
Lutu Coffee is about to reach a critical moment. You all need to grow up quickly and be able to stand on your own feet as soon as possible.
I almost forgot, Xiaoqu, please take a look at this information. It’s about your brother, so I won’t go up with you.
If you have anything to do, call me. I’ll come over when I’m done with my work and take you around Nantong tomorrow.”
After saying that, Han Tao waved his hand and left the hotel, preparing to return to his grandparents.
.....................
At the same time, Liang Shan, the leader of the troublemaker, had already called his family, and his family also went to Fan Shengmei's house with money and a letter of understanding.
It just so happened that Fan Shengmei was not at home, and only Fan's mother Liu Meilan was at home. When she saw them coming, she was instinctively nervous and afraid.
Unexpectedly, the Liang family had a very good attitude this time. They brought a bunch of gifts and said with a humble and smiling face:
"Aunt, we were the ones who were sorry before, please be magnanimous and don't bother with my cousins.
I think you understand that your son beat someone up and ran away, and we are a little worried, so we have to disturb you."
"It's okay, it's okay, we understand!"
Liu Meilan was a little uncomfortable. The last time they met, this family beat her, scolded her, and demanded money. They just made a scene, and now they came to apologize with gifts.
"Thank you for your understanding. By the way, why can't I see Miss Fan?" The other party looked around and asked tentatively.
Before he came, he went to see his cousin Liangshan, who specifically told him that the most troublesome people in this family were her daughter and her group of friends.
Thinking about her son's matter and the phone call in the afternoon, Liu Meilan suddenly came up with an idea, "My children have gone home, and she has to go to work tomorrow.
But she told me before she left that if you come here, it will be the same conditions as before."
Liang Shan's cousin did not doubt him, and looked at the old lady and said, "Aunt, your son was the first to hit someone, otherwise we would not have troubled you.
Now you are asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but we really don’t have it. Do you think this can be negotiated?
If that doesn't work, then we'll have to hold your son, Fan Shengying, accountable, and no one will have an easy time!"
Liu Meilan thought about it. One hundred thousand is not a small amount of money. Her son has run into new problems and will definitely need money. This is already beyond her expectations. She might as well quit while she is ahead.
"Then how do you say we should solve this problem? My old man is still in bed, and you guys have taken all the money from our family, and we still don't have a plan for future medical expenses!"
Liang Shan's cousin knew something was going to happen, so he tried to test him: "How about this? We won't pursue your son and will give you another 50,000 yuan. How about that?"
"Fifty thousand?" Liu Meilan exclaimed. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
"I know it's a little too little, but all our money has been used to pay for hospital bills. It's a maximum of 80,000, otherwise we'll break up."
Liang Shan's cousin thought that the old lady thought the amount was too little. He brought 100,000 yuan this time, so in order to solve the problem quickly, he quickly added 30,000 yuan.
The people behind him also cooperated, staring at Liu Meilan, which frightened her and reminded her of the previous experience of having her door blocked and her home smashed. She nodded with some fear.
"Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, then you won't cause trouble to my son again in the future!"
"Okay, just sign this letter of understanding and we promise not to look for your son anymore!"
Liang Shan's cousin immediately understood the old lady's plan. It seemed that she wanted to settle the matter for her son while her daughter was away.
For him, this is undoubtedly the best outcome. There is no essential difference whether the compensation is given to Fan Shengmei or her parents.
