Wang Dahai's expression froze, and rage rose from his heart.
"I didn't go looking for trouble with you, and you're coming after me instead?"
He couldn't help but laugh in anger.
"Did he really say that?"
"Yeah."
"I want to see how he's going to sue me!"
Wu Qiangwei saw that he was very angry and slightly furrowed her brows, "Don't be impulsive, let's talk things over when we meet."
"Talk things over?"
Wang Dahai looked at her as if she were a fool, "He almost violated you last night, and you can still talk to him calmly?"
"What else can I do?"
Wu Qiangwei retorted, "What can I do? Call the police and have him arrested? Do we have evidence? Is the evidence sufficient for conviction?"
His words left Wang Dahai speechless.
He had also considered and analyzed this matter last night.
The evidence was indeed insufficient, and Wu Qiangwei wasn't harmed.
Even though she had been drugged, the effects of the drug had already worn off by now.
More importantly, there was no evidence to prove that Hu Quan was the one who drugged her.
Wu Qiangwei spoke calmly, "Being impulsive won't solve anything."
"Let's go, meet him first. See what he has prepared to say."
"Okay."
The two of them went downstairs and got into the car.
The meeting place arranged by Hu Quan was a private club.
After parking the car, they were led by the waiter into a private room.
In the room, there were only Hu Quan and He Wen.
He Wen had a bandage on his nose and a split at the corner of his eye, clearly hurt badly.
He Wen gave Wang Dahai an angry look when he saw him, his fists clenched tight.
Seeing his injuries, Wu Qiangwei was somewhat surprised and glanced at Wang Dahai.
How heavy-handed had he been last night?
But recalling that Wang Dahai had been impulsive because of his concern for her, her heart softened instantly.
"Director Wu, you're here. Please, have a seat," said Hu Quan, as if nothing had happened, warmly inviting her.
It was as if he knew nothing about what had happened the night before.
Wu Qiangwei sat down calmly.
Wang Dahai sat beside her, also holding back his anger, expressionless.
No sooner had they sat down than Hu Quan sighed, "Director Wu, you know what happened."
"Last night, Mr. Wang, I don't know what got into him, suddenly attacked He Wen, look what he did to him..."
"When I got there last night, he was lying by the roadside. If it hadn't been for a kind-hearted passerby who dragged him to the side, he might have been run over right there."
"If that accident had happened, your secretary might be in prison right now."
"We went to the hospital last night for an injury assessment, and it has reached the level of minor injury."
"He Wen wanted to call the police yesterday, but I stopped him, thinking there must be some misunderstanding here."
At this point, he looked towards Wang Dahai, "Mr. Wang, can you tell me what exactly happened last night? If it's a misunderstanding, then we can just talk it out. At most, you can compensate for the medical expenses."
Hearing this, both Wang Dahai and Wu Qiangwei understood what he meant.
He didn't mention the drugging incident from last night at all, instead doggedly steering the conversation toward Wang Dahai's assault on He Wen.
The unspoken implication was, don't bring up last night's incident, and the matter of Wang Dahai hitting He Wen can be put to rest too.
Wu Qiangwei looked towards Wang Dahai, "Dahai, why did you start a fight last night?"
Wang Dahai fell silent.
He knew that the most correct approach now was to find a random excuse, then apologize and compensate for the medical expenses.
Then the matter would be dropped.
But that wasn't in his nature.
He looked at He Wen and suddenly asked, "Secretary He, how old are you this year?"
He Wen was startled and replied instinctively, "27."
"Married?"
He Wen caught on and frowned, "What's it to you?"
Wang Dahai smiled, "I need to first understand your situation, to determine how much compensation should be granted."
Is that so?
He Wen felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong but also sensed something amiss.
But after careful consideration, aside from offering money, the other party seemed to have no other choice.
So he cooperated, "I'm engaged."
"Is Secretary He from Lingcheng?"
"Mhm."
"I see that Secretary He has an extraordinary presence; you must come from a family of scholars, right?"
These slightly flattering words made He Wen somewhat unable to resist showing off.
He held his head high and said, "Not exactly a family of scholars, but indeed both my parents are within the system, and the family conditions are quite good."
A single "quite good" exposed his pride.
"Is Secretary He an only child?"
Hu Quan, who was beside them, grew more and more uneasy, but still maintained his composure and said, "Mr. Wang, why are you asking these questions?"
Wang Dahai laughed, "Just getting to know each other. If Secretary He has any sisters, I happen to be single and maybe we could get to know each other through a fight and become family."
He Wen's mouth twitched, and he snorted, "Then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I do have an older sister but she's already married, so you're out of luck."
"Oh, so you do have an older sister? That's really great."
Wang Dahai stood up from the table and slowly walked over to him.
Seeing him approaching, He Wen couldn't help but think of being punched by him the night before and instinctively leaned back, "Why are you getting so close to me?"
"Nothing, just..."
"Slap!"
Wang Dahai's words ceased abruptly as he suddenly grabbed He Wen's hair and slammed it down onto the table with force.
With a loud thud.
He Wen's forehead violently met the tabletop, and he felt a wave of dizziness and intense pain.
He was completely stunned.
Hu Quan was also stunned.
Wu Qiangwei was equally shocked.
Just a second ago they were all chatting and laughing, even discussing whether he had any sisters, and then unexpectedly, without any warning, he struck.
This erratic behavior gave even Hu Quan a chill.
Is this guy insane?
"Wang Dahai!"
Hu Quan came to his senses and immediately stood up, shouting angrily.
"Thud!"
Wang Dahai delivered another fierce blow before letting go.
"Wang Dahai, you..."
He Wen glared at him with a face full of anger, wanting to retaliate but knowing he was no match for him.
Wang Dahai sat back down, slowly straightening his clothes, casually took out his phone, dialed the emergency number, and tossed it to He Wen.
Then he stared at He Wen and said, "Call the police."
He Wen was taken aback. The private room was very quiet, and everyone watched him, not understanding what he meant.
Wang Dahai continued, "Now, call the police, have them come arrest me."
"For a fight, at worst I'll be detained."
"When I get out, I'll continue to look for you, and then I'll beat you again."
"Then you continue to call the police, and I keep going in for a few days."
"When I get out, I'll come looking for you again."
"Oh, right, you have an older sister, and your parents are both within the system."
"At that time, I'll pay them a visit."
As he said this, he revealed a slight smile.
But he wasn't finished, he continued, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Wang Dahai, 23 years old, from Zhuxi Village in County An, Lingcheng, an orphan with no kin."
"I can afford to drag this out with you, after all, I'm just a poor kid from a mountain village. If I pull down your whole family, I'll always come out ahead."
"At worst, I'll serve a few years, but Director Wu is generous and will give me a settlement. When I'm released, with several million in hand, I'll live the rest of my life without worries, very comfortably."
Saying this, he then turned to Hu Quan with a smile, "Mr. Hu, how many people are in your family?"
