Chapter 383: The Pursuer Arrives
Upon hearing Chen Fan's cold mockery, Pang Longhai on the other end of the phone let out a bitter laugh.
"Brother, as your elder, I must say a few words to you."
"That guy wasn't directly involved in the violence, he didn't use a knife. Even if he's arrested, it'll only be a matter of a few months in jail."
"Since that's the case, why insist on souring the relationship with them?"
"It would be better to take this opportunity to squeeze a large sum of money out of them. It could be considered as earning some treatment fees for Miss Ding, right?"
Chen Fan was silent for two seconds.
"Chief Pang, Brother Pang, do I look like someone who's short on money to you?"
"I've always believed that people must be responsible for their actions."
"I don't care if his family is royalty or common folk, what I want is absolute justice under the law."
"Even if in the end he's only locked up for a day, or even half a day, I want this guy to know that when you do something wrong, you should face the corresponding punishment."
"Sigh."
Pang Longhai let out a sigh, "Alright. Since you've said all this, I won't try to persuade you anymore."
Chen Fan: "They won't give you trouble, will they?"
Pang Longhai chuckled, "How can they do anything to me when I'm enforcing the law impartially? At most, they'll feel uncomfortable. It's not like their family can take away my official position, can they?"
"Don't worry. Since you've decided, I'll help you arrange this matter."
"But you should also be prepared. The Song family won't admit defeat easily. I guess they've already started looking for connections and asking people to intervene. This matter might end up in court in the end."
Chen Fan smiled, "It doesn't matter. Whatever they do, I'll face it."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan dialed the number of Lawyer Liang, with whom he had cooperated many times before.
Chen Fan planned to entrust him to follow up on this matter.
Once the other party wanted to go through legal procedures, he would let Lawyer Liang deal with these people.
Originally, he had planned to go back to school directly, but thinking about it, it wouldn't be convenient to climb over the wall during the day.
Chen Fan decided to stay at the hospital instead.
After Ding Dian woke up, Chen Fan explained the situation to her.
Ding Dian, as expected, showed a cold smile.
"Trying to settle with me for 800,000 yuan, this old guy really looks down on people."
Chen Fan gave a thumbs up.
"Indeed. I predicted that you would definitely fight them to the end."
Ding Dian pouted: "Not necessarily. If they offered to compensate me 100 million yuan, I might agree on the spot. With that 100 million, I could be financially free for the rest of my life. Wouldn't it be nice to travel around the country?"
Chen Fan was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Ding Dian then stared at Chen Fan: "By the way, why haven't you gone back yet?"
"It's not convenient during the day, I'll go back at night."
Ding Dian had a gossipy look on her face.
"So you really did climb over the wall to come here?"
Chen Fan glanced at Ding Dian.
"You thought I was joking with you?"
Ding Dian immediately became excited.
"Tsk tsk, a billionaire actually violating the rules and climbing over the wall to escape from school just to care for my safety... I'm truly touched."
"Tell me the truth, you don't happen to like me, do you?"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes: "Sister, can we not joke around?"
"You're not my type. I like petite, gentle, and elegant girls. Not a female Zhang Fei who always has 'this old lady' on her lips."
A flash of "killing intent" appeared in Ding Dian's eyes, then she took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm.
"Actually, you're not my type either. I like muscular hunks. You're as skinny as a little chicken, obviously malnourished."
Chen Fan smiled and clasped his hands, "Thank you, lady, for sparing me."
Ding Dian was quite annoyed, sulking as she muttered.
"I'm hungry. Since your employee is injured, shouldn't you go buy me some food?"
Chen Fan stood up with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"
"I want KFC."
Chen Fan laughed helplessly, "The doctor said you can't eat high-energy fast food during your hospital stay."
"Then I want dumplings, with celery filling."
"I'll go buy some."
Chen Fan smiled as he walked to the door of the ward. Just as he was about to open it, the door was pushed open from the outside.
A strange man stood at the doorway, face to face with Chen Fan, both of them stunned.
The man spoke first: "Excuse me, is this Ding Dian's ward?"
Chen Fan turned his head to look at Ding Dian.
Ding Dian, who had been somewhat joyful earlier, immediately became exasperated upon seeing this guy and muttered.
"When did you come back to the country? How did you know I was hospitalized?"
The man walked into the ward carrying two fruit baskets, placing them directly on the nearby storage cabinet.
"I came as soon as I got the news."
"Are you alright?"
"Not dead yet."
Ding Dian rolled her eyes impatiently, seemingly not too fond of this suddenly appearing guy.
She looked towards the door, intending to introduce Chen Fan to him, but found that Chen Fan had already left.
Downstairs, Chen Fan had just walked out of the inpatient department when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Could it be him?"
While coming downstairs, he had been wondering who that strange man was.
Now he suddenly had a guess.
Back when he was trying to sign F4 to endorse his club, Ding Dian had introduced an old classmate to Chen Fan.
It was with the help of this old classmate that Chen Fan successfully secured the endorsement contract.
This old classmate's name was Guo Wendong.
Chen Fan hadn't chatted with him online for some time.
Although they had never met face to face via video, based on the unexpected encounter just now and Ding Dian's attitude towards him when he left, Chen Fan guessed that this person might be Guo Wendong.
As it turned out, Chen Fan's guess was correct.
When Chen Fan returned to the ward with the packed dumplings, Guo Wendong was diligently mopping the floor with a mop.
Meanwhile, Ding Dian was leaning on the hospital bed eating fruit with the air of a landlady.
"What took you so long? I'm almost starving to death."
Upon seeing Chen Fan enter, Ding Dian's expression became much more cheerful.
Chen Fan smiled: "Had to wait in line for a while."
"Here are your chopsticks, eat while it's hot."
After placing the dumplings on the small dining table in front of Ding Dian, Chen Fan turned to look at the man beside him.
The man stood up straight with the mop, also sizing up Chen Fan.
In the end, it was this guy who extended his right hand first.
"Hello. Guo Wendong."
"Hello. I'm Chen Fan."
Guo Wendong's expression changed slightly.
"You're Chen Fan? Then doesn't that mean..."
Guo Wendong revealed a look of surprise.
"You're the one who was chatting with me before, right? I didn't expect you to be so young."
Chen Fan smiled and shook hands with him.
"I didn't expect to run into you here either."
"When did you come back to the country?"
"Almost half a month ago."
Ding Dian casually muttered from the side: "Why aren't you continuing your travels?"
Guo Wendong explained with a smile: "To put it nicely, I've had enough fun and I think it's time to make plans for my life. To be more realistic... I ran out of money, so naturally I came back."
Guo Wendong suddenly looked at Chen Fan with curiosity.
"By the way. I've always had a question I wanted to ask you."
"Back then, you had me sign F4."
"How did you know for sure that those four would become so popular?"
