When Li Mu got off the plane, Mingyu drove to pick him up. Unexpectedly, Zhu Li also came.
"Brother, big brother!"
"Mingyu, Zhu Li, why are you here together?"
Zhu Li's eyes were red: "Brother, I'm coming with you. Mingcheng must have suffered a lot since he is locked up in there now. I really don't know what to do."
Li Mu sighed and said, "Julie, don't worry too much. With Mingcheng's temper, it's okay to stay in and suffer a little. If you don't learn a lesson, what will you do if you make impulsive mistakes again in the future?"
"How's it going with Manager Zhou? What conditions were offered? Have you agreed to a settlement?"
Zhu Li shook her head in frustration: "I borrowed 300,000 from Mingyu to advance part of the medical expenses, and I want to use the rest as compensation. Manager Zhou is fine and is recuperating. We went several times and could only pay the fee.
Not allowed to see him at all."
"And he promised that Mingcheng would go to jail, saying that he would not agree to reconciliation, and that it would bankrupt us."
"Brother, what should I do?"
As he spoke, tears started to fall down, and he started crying again.
Li Mu glanced at Mingyu. With her relationship with Mingcheng, it was rare for her to be willing to pay the 300,000 yuan.
If it were Mingcheng, he might be wishing that Mingyu would be unlucky!
As for why Zhu Li didn't open her mouth to her, Mingcheng and him borrowed 1 million and lost all of it, so she was probably too embarrassed to open her mouth again.
These thoughts just flashed through her in an instant, and she patted Zhu Li's shoulder gently: "Okay, Mingcheng is my brother, I will find a way to solve this matter, it won't be that serious, don't worry!"
After hearing this, Julie's sobbing sounds finally subsided.
…
The car drove all the way to the Yunxi Aman Hotel in Suzhou. Li Mu had already booked a suite in advance. After flying for more than ten hours, he needed to take a shower, change clothes, and take a short rest.
Instruct Zhu Li to contact Manager Zhou and tell her that the person in charge of the Su family was back and that she could have an interview under any conditions.
Seeing that Li Mu was willing to take up the heavy responsibility, Zhu Li felt much relieved and contacted Manager Zhou again.
When Li Mu came out of the room, Zhu Li said with some joy: "Brother, Manager Zhou agreed to meet."
Li Mu nodded: "Okay, Mingyu and Zhu Li, let's eat first and have lunch before going to the hospital."
…
After dinner, we had another afternoon tea, made an appointment with a lawyer, and then the group rushed to the hospital.
As expected, Manager Zhou's family made things difficult for him for a while before he entered the ward.
A few days later, Manager Zhou's injuries have stabilized. At that time, it seemed that he had been beaten badly, with mostly superficial injuries and no serious internal injuries.
Otherwise, he might still be in the intensive care unit now.
Let alone discussing the terms in person, we can't even meet in person.
…
Manager Zhou has never been beaten so severely since she was a child. The ferocity of Mingcheng at that time makes her feel a little chilly when she thinks about it now.
The physical pain was only one aspect. How could she let him go if he was so shameful and humiliated? She would definitely pay him back ruthlessly. Not only would Su Mingcheng be put in jail, but he would also be ruined and unable to recover for the rest of his life.
I heard that eldest brother Su Mingcheng, the real head of the Su family, has returned from abroad and is financially strong.
Originally not planning to meet the Su family, she suddenly changed her mind. She still wanted to meet them.
She had lost so much on her investment and suffered so much humiliation and physical pain. Just punishing Su Mingcheng was not enough. Even if he was put in jail, she would not be able to get rid of her bad breath.
Besides, how much wealth does Su Mingcheng have as a salaryman, and how much compensation can be given to her even if she goes bankrupt?
Since his eldest brother is financially sound and has come back from abroad to take care of things, he must seize the opportunity to regain his blood.
As for reconciliation, it is impossible to reconcile. She has suffered such a serious crime and suffered such humiliation. Shouldn't she demand more compensation to make up for it?
From the moment he entered the hospital, Li Mu had no expression on his face the whole time, and he was always hearing all kinds of unpleasant words from Manager Zhou's family members.
It wasn't until he entered the ward and saw Manager Zhou that his expression changed.
"Are you Brother Mingcheng?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Manager Zhou asked his family members to shake the bed, half-lying there, and said angrily: "Do you know what Su Mingcheng did? He beat me to death. If someone hadn't found out and scared him away, I would
My life will be gone now."
"What do you think we should do to solve this problem? Is he still a human being? How could there be such a cruel person? He should be shot."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and her face was full of anger.
Li Mu nodded calmly: "You are right, Mingcheng is this person. He has been spoiled since he was a child. He has never suffered much, suffered any sins, or suffered any setbacks before he started to go to extremes."
"Don't tell me it's you, he was even cruel to our sister when he was a kid. I want to slap him twice when I see this kind of virtue."
"If he were not my biological brother, to be honest, I wouldn't bother to care about him, let alone your affairs."
Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Li Mu to say that.
After a moment, he said: "Then how do you want to solve it? I will never let Su Mingcheng go."
Li Mu said: "Don't be so absolute. You can make whatever conditions you want."
Manager Zhou hesitated for a moment: "I'm so seriously injured, plus lost time in work and mental damage, it will cost three million."
Li Mu did not hesitate. Regardless of the shocked look on Zhu Li's side, he nodded and said, "No problem, just three million."
Then he took the letter of understanding from the lawyer next to him and handed it over.
"Sign it and the three million will arrive immediately."
Manager Zhou was overjoyed at first, but when he saw the letter of understanding, his expression changed.
"This three million is the compensation I deserve. I have already said that I will never let Su Mingcheng go."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I didn't ask you to let him go! With the things he has committed now, even if you sign a letter of understanding, he will have to stay in there for a year at least."
"I actually want him to suffer some hardships and learn a lesson. If you don't reform him and start a new life, you might cause some trouble in the future."
Manager Zhou was stunned again. How could an elder brother expect his younger brother to go to jail and suffer hardships? He also thought of Su Mingcheng's ferocious appearance. He must be a disgusting existence at home.
People have already said that if he wasn't his biological brother, he might not bother to care about him.
Thinking of this, she felt a little helpless. She originally wanted to threaten Su Mingcheng, but after seeing this brother's attitude, she really didn't care about him and wished he would suffer a little!
After thinking for a moment, he added: "The compensation can be smaller, but it cannot be less than two million. I have been seriously injured and suffered such humiliation. I deserve these compensations."
"As for Su Mingcheng."
"snort"
"One year is too little. If I don't lock him up for ten or eight years, I can't let him go."
Li Mu smiled, spread his hands and said, "Manager Zhou, if you say this, we can't talk."
"It is indeed wrong for Mingcheng to take action, but you must know why he took action and the root cause of this matter."
Manager Zhou was a little angry.
"I know...what do I know? How do I know why Su Mingcheng hit me? He is just a mad dog."
Li Mu was not in a hurry and said calmly: "Some time ago, Mingcheng borrowed one million from me and said that their manager had found a good project that was of high quality and asked him to invest together."
"Then all the millions were defrauded, and people were fired from the company. They went out to find jobs, had a good conversation, and were dismissed for no reason."
"It is said that someone has said that as long as Su Mingcheng is still in this industry, he will have no job in Su City."
"Manager Zhou, do you know who this person is?"
Seeing Li Mu's playful smile, Manager Zhou felt as if he had been stepped on a painful spot and became excited.
"Is it my fault...Is it my fault?"
"Investment is inherently risky, and you have to be responsible for your profits and losses. We signed a contract. How can he blame me if he was cheated?"
"I have also been deceived. I have been deceived more than him. I am also a victim."
"Why did he target me, saying that I collaborated with a liar to deceive him, and wreak havoc on my reputation in the company? How can such a person be retained if he is not fired?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "From your point of view, in order to maintain the reputation of the company, it is right to fire him."
"But, he has already left, admitted that he was deceived, and has started to find a job again and start a new life. You will rarely meet again in the future."
"Why are you still unwilling to let him go? Let him hit the wall again and again on the way to find a job."
"Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone when humans are in a hurry."
"He was defrauded out of a million dollars because of you, and lost his job because of you, but you still refused to let him go and drove him to a dead end!"
"Do you think you really have no responsibility for what he did to you?"
Manager Zhou blushed at what Li Mu said. She wanted to refute but couldn't find a reason. These were all facts.
After taking a long breath, he said: "If he has dissatisfaction or grievances, he can talk to me and communicate with me. Apologize and say soft words, maybe our matter will be over."
"But why was he so extreme and why did he attack me directly? He was beating me to death!"
The circles under his eyes were red and there was some fear on his face.
Li Mu said helplessly: "I told you, he has a character defect. He was too well protected when he was a child, he was too arrogant and too self-centered. If he suffers a little setback, he may go to extremes."
"He has worked under you for so many years, don't you even understand this?"
When Manager Zhou heard this, his tone was stagnant and he had nothing to say.
Yes, as Su Mingcheng's direct superior, after leading him for so many years, don't you know what his temper is? Why don't you realize it?
She mistook a hungry wolf for a little white rabbit.
