Chapter 1263: Chapter 1261: 1260 to settle accounts with Wu Hao

“Ah?” the police officer was taken aback, “Are graduate students this young nowadays?”

Tan Rou smiled but did not answer the question and instead asked the officer how the Wu Family members would be dealt with, “Comrade officer, I remember causing a disturbance in a hospital is a serious offense, I wonder how they will be handled?”

The officer said, “Creating a disturbance in a hospital involves a detention of 15 days and a fine of 500 yuan per person. If the victim decides to sue, their detention could be extended.”

Tan Rou did actually want to sue them, but since the person who ended up injured was from the Wu family and each person’s injuries were not minor, even if it went before a judge, it might not result in a sentence, and it’s possible the judge might even ask Tan Rou to withdraw the charges.

“Then is there a way to have them stay in detention for a few more days?” Tan Rou asked.

The officer sternly replied, “Madam, we are the police and can only act according to the rules, we cannot arbitrarily extend someone’s detention.”

Tan Rou had to let it be, “Alright, however many days they can be detained, let it be. If they cause trouble again once they’re out, I can send them back in.”

The officer wanted to say not to start fights or cause disturbances, the people from the Wu family did need a lesson, so he changed his tone, “In life, one must protect their own safety and avoid impulsiveness as much as possible. If you do encounter danger, remember to call the police.”

Tan Rou obediently responded, “Alright, comrade officer.”

The officer handcuffed the Wu family members, but since the Wu family members were unable to speak, this would cause trouble during their interrogation, so he asked, “What’s the matter with their throats?”

Tan Rou replied, “That was also caused by a unique skill of mine. If my colleague officer wants them to speak, I can make them talk right now.”

The officer thought for a moment, “We’ll talk about it at the police station. You need to come with us and give a statement.”

Tan Rou was already very familiar with this process, having to visit the police station several times a year, to the point where she nearly knew all the police officers in Capital.

“Comrade officer, I can go to the police station with you, but before that, I need to see someone else,” Tan Rou requested, “Can you wait for me to finish talking?”

The police officer wasn’t in any rush, so he said, “I’ll give you ten minutes, can you finish in that time?”

Tan Rou asked, “Could I have twenty minutes?”

The officer considered it for a moment and nodded, “Alright, make it quick.”

Once permitted, Tan Rou immediately went to find Wu Hao; she had a good relationship with the hospital’s director, so it was very easy for her to find someone in the hospital.

Wu Hao was staying in a rather ordinary six-person room, the conditions weren’t great, but they weren’t the worst either.

When Tan Rou entered, Wu Hao was eating fruit, fed to him by a young woman.

“Hao Hao, eat one more,” the woman said.

Wu Hao reluctantly ate another, then asked the woman to take the food away, “Sister, stop feeding me; I don’t want to eat this.”

The woman took out another food item, “How about we eat this then?”

Before Wu Hao could respond, Tan Rou interjected, “Excuse me, can the two of you stop feeding him for a while? I have something to discuss with Wu Hao.”

As a student of Capital University, Wu Hao knew who Tan Rou was and asked, “What do you want from me?”

Tan Rou pulled up a chair and sat down, “I want to talk to you about compensation.”

Thinking that his dad and aunt had handled Li Li, Wu Hao happily said, “Speak, how much are you planning to pay?”

Tan Rou could tell Wu Hao had misunderstood, but she chose not to clarify, “500,000 yuan each, totalling 500,000 yuan.”

Wu Hao did some quick math and found something amiss, “What do you mean 500,000 each?”

Tan Rou pointed at Wu Hao, “You injured Li Li, so you owe Li Li 500,000 yuan. Your aunt kicked Lan Ning, so you also need to pay Lan Ning 500,000 yuan. That adds up to exactly 500,000 yuan.”

Wu Hao, only focusing on the money, completely overlooked the part about Lan Ning’s injury, he yelled, “Why should I pay you 500,000 yuan? You should be the ones paying me!”

Tan Rou did not argue with him; she simply smiled and said, “Since you are unwilling to pay, I guess I’ll just have to have your family members stay at the police station a bit longer.”
