Chapter 645: Suddenly Backing Down
"Did they just back down?"
Someone at the scene was shocked.
"Weren't they being so arrogant just now?"
"What's going on? They've backed down just like that?"
"Where did all that bravado from earlier go?"
Some people laughed and joked, while others curiously stared at Chen Fan.
"Who is this young man?"
Anyone with eyes could see that before Chen Fan appeared, this family was acting incredibly arrogant and domineering.
But after Chen Fan arrived, not only did he slap their son in front of them, but this couple didn't dare to make a peep, and now they've suddenly backed down?
What kind of background does this young man have?
At once, everyone was whispering and discussing Chen Fan's identity.
"Zhou Libo! Have you gone crazy?"
The first to lose control at the scene was Zhou Libo's wife. This woman rushed forward like a madwoman, wanting to fight Zhou Libo, but was immediately slapped.
"Shut your mouth!"
"Our son is so arrogant because you've spoiled him. Just wait until I deal with you when we get home."
The woman held her face in shock, seemingly seeing her husband angry at her for the first time.
Zhou Libo couldn't be bothered to explain to his wife and instead shouted to the driver behind him.
"Take them to the car."
After saying this, Zhou Libo quickly walked over and first explained to the police.
"We've decided to resolve this matter privately."
The four police officers looked at each other, not understanding what this guy was up to.
However, one of the police officers' phones rang, and after answering and listening for a few sentences, he hung up.
"Are you sure you want to settle this and resolve it yourselves?"
Zhou Libo nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes!"
The police looked towards Chen Fan, who remained expressionless and said nothing.
So the police officer had to say, "Remember. No more trouble, if there's anything, talk it out properly."
"Understood, understood. Thank you for your trouble."
Zhou Libo felt so aggrieved. When had he ever been this polite to a few local cops?
But there was no choice, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
After watching the four police officers get in their car and leave, Zhou Libo finally looked at Chen Fan, trying to soften his tone as much as possible, afraid of offending Chen Fan.
"Mr. Chen... can we talk privately for a moment?"
Chen Fan looked at this guy, knowing that he had recognized him.
Zhou Libo quickly explained, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to resolve this matter properly with you."
Chen Fan pondered for a moment before stepping towards a corner nearby.
Zhou Libo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
"Mr. Chen, this... is a misunderstanding. Of course, my son was at fault first, and I can apologize on his behalf."
"Rest assured, I can fully compensate for the losses your friends have suffered."
Zhou Libo's attitude was very humble.
"I didn't know the full story beforehand. If I had known, things wouldn't have escalated to this point today."
"Don't worry, I will severely punish that boy when we get back."
Seeing Chen Fan not speaking, Zhou Libo had to continue.
"This really is a misunderstanding, there was absolutely no intention to target you deliberately."
At this point, Zhou Libo secretly glanced around before lowering his voice and saying.
"Mr. Chen, although I am related to the Zhao family, please believe me, in this matter, our Zhou family absolutely has no intention of going against you."
Chen Fan glanced at this guy with some surprise.
He thought it was interesting.
This Zhou Libo was actually trying to distance himself from the Zhao family.
"I'm not the one directly involved, I have no right to make decisions for them."
Chen Fan turned and walked towards Gao Xiaoxi's group.
"Now they want to settle this. What do you think?"
Gao Xiaoxi and the other girls were stunned for a moment.
"I... I don't know."
To say they were angry, they were indeed very angry earlier at the bar.
But after Chen Fan appeared and taught that young master a lesson with his strong and domineering attitude on their behalf, the group of girls felt relieved but also became a bit nervous.
They were afraid of possible retaliation later.
After all, they were just ordinary college students. They didn't want to get into too much trouble.
Seeing that her roommates weren't speaking, Gao Xiaoxi had to look at Chen Fan.
"Brother-in-law, what... what do you think we should do?"
Chen Fan pondered and said, "I suggest we settle this."
"Your people got beaten up, and now they've paid the price."
"Besides, even if the police handle this kind of thing, at most it would be considered a mutual fight."
"It would be even more troublesome if you went to court..."
Gao Xiaoxi quickly waved her hands, "We... we won't go to court, we know we can't win. Brother-in-law, we'll listen to you."
Chen Fan nodded and turned to look at Zhou Libo behind him.
"They agree to settle."
Zhou Libo hurriedly came over.
"Thank you, thank you. Students, my son was in the wrong today, and I apologize to you on his behalf."
The girls had strange expressions, obviously still feeling some resentment.
Gao Xiaoxi mumbled, "My roommate's boyfriend was beaten up so badly..."
Zhou Libo immediately spoke up, "Don't worry. I can compensate. How about 20,000 yuan for the medical expenses of the two people?"
Hearing this, the girls were obviously stunned.
For them as students, 20,000 yuan was indeed a large sum of money.
Gao Xiaoxi looked at her friend beside her.
"Lili, what do you think?"
An Lili said softly, "I... I have no objection."
Gao Xiaoxi nodded, "Then I have no objection either."
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly spoke up.
"Do you have any other losses?"
Just then, a girl nearby suddenly said, "Earlier in the private room at the bar, Xiaoxi's phone was smashed by that woman."
Hearing this, Zhou Libo quickly spoke up.
"I'll pay to compensate this young lady with a new phone."
Chen Fan asked Gao Xiaoxi, "I remember your phone wasn't cheap, right?"
"Ah? I..." Gao Xiaoxi was a bit embarrassed, "My phone is one my dad doesn't use anymore..."
Seeing that Gao Xiaoxi still hadn't understood Chen Fan's hint, An Lili beside her couldn't help but speak up.
"Her phone cost 8,000 yuan."
Zhou Libo had a wry smile, knowing they were asking for too much, but he had to swallow it at this moment.
"How about this, including the medical expenses and the phone, I'll give you a total of 30,000 yuan. Do you think that's okay?"
"Okay!"
Chen Fan felt a bit emotional on the side.
Still too naive.
If it were him, he would have directly asked for 100,000 yuan earlier.
But since the girls had all nodded and agreed, Chen Fan didn't have the mood to continue haggling with this guy.
Zhou Libo immediately went back to the car to get 30,000 yuan, counted it out to Gao Xiaoxi and the others, said some more nice words, and then left dejectedly.
As the commotion ended, the crowd of onlookers began to disperse.
Chen Fan looked at Gao Xiaoxi and the others.
"What are you going to do next? It's getting late, why don't you come with me?"
Gao Xiaoxi looked at her roommate.
An Lili quickly said, "Xiaoxi, you go ahead. I need to accompany my boyfriend to the hospital to bandage his wounds."
Only then did Gao Xiaoxi nod, "Then be careful, and make sure to let me know if anything happens."
Watching Gao Xiaoxi leave with Chen Fan, followed by a group of people protecting them.
The roommates looked at each other, their faces full of gossip.
"What's Xiaoxi's background anyway?"
"How would I know?"
"This guy is so young, but he was so domineering and arrogant just now!"
"I don't know. But he slapped that crazy woman's son right in front of them earlier, and they didn't dare to make a peep. They even backed down on the spot, begging for forgiveness and offering compensation. You can tell at a glance that his identity is not simple."
"Of course I know he's not simple."
"Do you think, with him showing up with such a group of people, could he really be involved in some underground business?"
After hearing this, the roommates looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Do you think he's really Xiaoxi's brother-in-law?"
