A Mercedes-Benz stopped outside the shop. Xiao Yan got off the car and walked in.
"Manager Zhang, I know the news, but I can't get away from it these days …" She walked into the shop, took off her sunglasses, and looked around the shop with pity.
"It doesn't matter. It's over anyway." Zhang Zian didn't need her sympathy. He just wanted to ask her to introduce him to a reliable decoration and design company. This industry was too complicated.
Zhang Zian said, "Didn't you remind me? You told me that it's easier to dodge an open spear than a hidden arrow. So, a hidden arrow is coming. "He pointed at the broken glass on the ground.
Xiao Yan raised her hands and pressed her temples as if she had a headache. She said, "But I didn't expect them to be so despicable. They even used the trick of smashing the shop … You too, why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you. "
After being blackmailed by the seven Rainbow Fighters, Zhang Zian did consider asking Xiao Yan for help, but he didn't do it. It was not because of his pride. He remembered that she said that although her beauty salon was not small in this area, it was still far from Stars Pet Chain Supermarket.
He didn't know if his opponents would blackmail him again, or when they would come. He didn't even know who sent the seven Rainbow Fighters. Even if he asked Xiao Yan for help, what could he do? Did he want her to leave the beauty salon and stay here day and night? Their friendship had not reached that level yet. To be honest, Xiao Yan thought his shop had a bright future, so she thought highly of him. But he needed to know his place.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I am a martial arts master. These small fries are nothing to me. Didn't you see the video? "
Xiao Yan frowned and looked at him suspiciously. "You really know martial arts? You are not lying, right? "
"Of course," he said with certainty. "I have the video. Why would I lie?"
Xiao Yan was about to ask again, when a police car stopped in front of the shop.
She heard the sound of brakes. Seeing that it was a police car, she stopped talking and stared outside.
Sheng Ke got out of the police car, took off his hat from the passenger seat and put it on. He closed the door, glanced at the few onlookers, and walked straight into the pet shop.
"Hey, isn't this General Manager Xiao?" He bent over to get through the shutter door and saw Xiao Yan at first glance. He looked a little surprised.
"Captain Sheng, long time no see. Have you solved a big case recently?" Xiao Yan reached out and shook hands with him.
Zhang Zian was a little surprised at first, but then he thought it was reasonable. Xiao Yan's beauty salon didn't have a smooth development, and it was repeatedly slandered by pornography, gambling, and drugs. Therefore, it was normal for Xiao Yan to know Sheng Ke. Maybe they met when Sheng Ke led a team to investigate the beauty salon.
Sheng Ke and Xiao Yan exchanged a few words, while Zhang Zian stood silently on the side. From the tone of their conversation, Zhang Zian felt that they were not very familiar with each other. Even if they had a personal relationship, it was not much.
After the small talk, Captain Sheng glanced at Zhang Zian and said to Xiao Yan, "President Xiao, do you know Mr. Zhang?"
Xiao Yan nodded. "He's my new friend."
The definition of a friend was too broad. Captain Sheng did not know how close his friend was, but he had a deeper impression of Zhang Zian.
"Captain Sheng, what can I do for you? Is it related to this case? "Zhang Zian asked even though he already knew the answer. A few days ago, Sheng Ke led a team to raid Qing Ren Alley, and he probably got some evidence. Zhang Zian knew that Sheng Ke would definitely come again, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Sheng Ke looked at him deeply, and Zhang Zian felt that this look was like an X-ray scan on him.
"Well, Mr. Zhang, I am here to ask you if you know Mr. Chen Taitong, the store manager of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket?"
"Yes," Zhang Zian answered immediately. "A few days ago, he brought some people to make trouble in front of my store."
"No wonder..." Sheng Ke pondered for a moment and said, "We arrested Chen Taitong on suspicion of paying a hitman to injure someone."
Zhang Zian listened quietly.
"Chen Taitong confessed to this incident. As far as I know, the lawyer he hired wanted to discuss with you whether he could exchange civil compensation for your forgiveness. "Captain Sheng said.
"Captain Sheng, please wait a moment." Xiao Yan stopped him and said to Zhang Zian, "Come with me."
She pulled Zhang Zian to the corner of the store.
Captain Sheng knew that they needed some fresh air, so he just casually looked around the store.
Fina ignored him and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Captain Sheng didn't know much about cats, so he couldn't tell how much Fina was worth. He was more interested in Old Time Tea, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a mandarin jacket.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zian asked.
"Do you know what civil compensation is?" Xiao Yan asked back.
Honestly, Zhang Zian didn't know much about it. "He sent people to smash my store, and now he wants to compensate me?"
Xiao Yan smiled, "Do you think it's that simple? Do you think he took the initiative to compensate because he found his conscience? "
Zhang Zian didn't understand, so he put on a confused face.
"Isn't it?" he asked.
Xiao Yan corrected him, "You are too naive. The purpose of his compensation is to exchange your forgiveness for a reduced sentence."
She looked at Zhang Zian's confused face and explained further, "According to our country's legal standards, if he fully compensates for your loss, he can get a 30% reduction. If he gets your forgiveness, he can get an additional 10% reduction."
"Oh." Zhang Zian finally understood why Chen Taitong took the initiative to ask for civil compensation.
He was very grateful for Xiao Yan's reminder. At the same time, he realized the sad fact that he didn't know the law.
"So, you have to think carefully about whether you want to accept his compensation or not," she reminded him seriously. "In other words, how much do you hate him?"
How much did Zhang Zian hate Chen Taitong?
He lowered his head and thought about it carefully.
In fact, he had only met Chen Taitong once. It was when Chen Taitong blocked the door with some people to sell pets. Even that time, Chen Taitong tricked Chen Taitong into running away.
It was Chen Taitong who paid the Qing Ren to do this. Luckily, no pets were hurt. Xinghai, Fina, and Old Time Tea were all safe and sound.
The conclusion was that he didn't hate Chen Taitong that much, at least not to the extent that he wanted to kill him.
The most important thing was that Zhang Zian needed money more than revenge.
He didn't know how many years Chen Taitong would be sentenced to. Let's say it was 10 years. With a 40% reduction, Chen Taitong would have 6 years left. Let's say Chen Taitong behaved well in prison and got a corresponding reduction. Chen Taitong would have to stay in prison for at least 3 years.
Zhang Zian turned his head and looked at Old Time Tea.
Captain Sheng was very curious about Old Time Tea, but Old Time Tea didn't care. It was lying on the electric blanket and pretending to be asleep.
If it was Old Time Tea, what would it choose?
Old Time Tea had already chosen.
It didn't go to Chen Taitong that night, which meant it didn't think Chen Taitong was important at all.
Zhang Zian told Xiao Yan honestly, "I don't hate him that much."
Xiao Yan was quite surprised, "So you want to accept his compensation?"
Zhang Zian nodded, "Forgive people when you can. I think everyone deserves a second chance. He has already been punished. "
Clap! Clap!
Sheng Ke clapped his hands, "Repaying evil with good! Mr. Zhang is indeed a martial arts grandmaster. Just this breadth of mind alone is incomparable to ordinary people! "
