Chapter 229: It Turns Out to Be a Mental Illness
Yang Fan and his wife Cao Wang were separated and each gave a written statement.
Afterward, both parties were arranged to meet in the conference room to discuss how to handle the situation.
This time, Cao Wang’s face wasn’t contorted with rage as if he wanted to kill or cause serious harm; instead, his face bore a warm smile.
Yang Fan sat opposite him, eyeing this man who resembled a bear with suspicion.
Had he figured it out?
"We’ve clarified the sequence of events, Yang Fan, what is your stance?" the mediating officer asked.
Yang Fan turned to look at the officer and angrily asked, "Officer Uncle, are you implying we mediate? Are you kidding me? He attempted murder, chased all the way to your home, and just like that, it’s settled with mediation?"
"Based on both parties’ attitudes, as for what charges are pressed, that’s for the court to decide," the officer said sternly.
"What’s there to discuss? Compensation and an apology are a given, I can’t just let this go unpunished, right?" Yang Fan said, "But, I will not forgive him. If you’ve ever been pinned to the ground with a knife at your throat, you’d certainly not be magnanimous either."
The officer nodded and looked at Cao Wang, "What do you have to say?"
Shedding his previous aggressive and ferocious demeanor, Cao Wang offered a smile and said, "Brother, I really got too emotional just now. How about we settle this privately? Compensation and an apology are indeed necessary. How much do you think is fair? You name the figure."
