Now that he knew that Ling Feng wasn"t in the right, Ling Qitian wasn"t in the mood to pursue this matter anymore. What"s more, Ling Feng was only suffering from a skin injury. It was enough to just detain him for a few days to teach him a lesson.Ling Qitian was about to say what he was thinking when Ling Feng suddenly spoke up, pointing his finger at Zhang Xiaohua: "If you want to solve this, it"s simple. You have two options. First, give me three hundred thousand for damages and then apologize to me publicly. Second choice is you get sent to jail and this young master won"t destroy your company!"
"Go ahead, send me to jail then. Just don"t regret it later." Said Zhang Xiaohua, his face was hung with an indifferent expression.
It was too simple for him to blow up this matter if he wanted.
The truth of the matter was that no one here could afford to blow it up.
If the charges were pursued by Ling Feng and the images of Director Guo standing with Ling Qitian came out... well that was just inviting torment onto themselves. Addictionaly, if the video of Ling Feng attempting to provoke Zhang Xiaohua came out, they wouldn"t be able to sentence him too harshly either. The video would stir rumors about the relations.h.i.+p between Cao Feifei and Zhang Xiaohua, which was just another whirlwind of bad press for New Century, who had just weathered through the w.a.n.g Jingwen incident.
Ling Qitian sighed helplessly. It seemed that if he didn"t give Ling Feng a slap today, he wouldn"t give up and realise the situation they were in.
Although very helpless, Ling Qitian still made a decision. Facing Zhang Xiaohua"s gaze, he said to Director Guo: "I ask Director Guo to do things according to law. But we don"t wish to pursue charges at this time."
Director Guo nodded and accepted Ling Qitian"s decision.
The so-called law was just to impose administrative detention on Zhang Xiaohua for 15 days plus a fine of 5,000 yuan.
In fact, for an ordinary person, the detention and fines were a trivial matter.
But this is the entertainment circle after all, for Zhang Xiaohua, this could expand into a bigger deal.
Zhang Xiaohua was a public figure whose career was just getting started. If word got out about him at this time, he would instantly lose his image in front of the public.
Their compet.i.tors would certainly not let this chance to destroy Zhang Xiaohua go. Even if Zhang Xiaohua had the ability to make a comeback, he would be stuck in a slump for a while.
"Let the person who pleaded guilty for me out first. We can"t have innocent people being implicated." Zhang Xiaohua said seriously.
Ling Qitian nodded and expressed his support for Zhang Xiaohua"s statement.
"Compensation for the medical expenses can be exempted. We will not pursue it." Ling Qitian said to Director Guo.
Director Guo readily agreed and then called the police to bring Xiong Zhuang over.
"Boss, how come you"re here?"
Zhang Xiaohua stood up, went to Xiong Zhuang and gave him a warm hug patting him on his shoulders. He smiled and said: "Brother, you have been wronged. Go back, take a shower and get a good night"s sleep. Leave the rest to me."
"Everyone is waiting for you at the company." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile to Xiong Zhuang.
"What about you?" Asked Xiong Zhuang seriously.
Ling Feng smugly smiled and answered: "This waste can"t leave, he admitted to hitting me, that"s lying to the police. Right, you can charge him for that can"t you?"
"If I didn"t hear incorrectly, didn"t you say that it was a group of people who attacked you? That was a lie, so do you still want to pursue charges?" Said Zhang Xiaohua.
"You..."
Ling Feng"s face became red. There was no room for reb.u.t.tal.
Ignoring Zhang Xiaohua, Ling Feng directed his anger to Xiong Zhuang: "Do you know who I am?"
Ling Feng had no other skills, but he had mastered the art of abusing his status, it was enough to make people feel awe.
"Director Guo, this person obstructed an investigation. I want you to arrest him immediately, I want to sue him till he is ruined!" Ling Feng screamed.
"Enough!" Ling Qitian finally couldn"t bear it. He screamed: "You have lost your face already, is this not enough? Now you want to embarra.s.s me too. Do you want me to live? Are you trying to drive me mad?"
"Grandpa, I..."
"Shut up! You will go home immediately and stay there. When you recover from your injury, you will go to the company and start working. I won"t allow you destroy the foundation that I worked so hard to create!"
Seeing Ling Qitian absolutely furious, Ling Feng could only close his mouth and bow his head silently.
This was the first time that he had seen his Grandpa so angry.
Ling Feng"s hatred towards Zhang Xiaohua climbed to an all time high, destroying HuaXiang Entertainment and Zhang Xiaohua officially became his ultimate goal.
At this time, the most happy person was Cao Dequan. As long as Zhang Xiaohua was detained, then New Century could make full use of the power of the media and smear his name completely. As long as Zhang Xiaohua fell, HuaXiang Entertainment would follow suit. As a result, the music section of New Century would be revived.
Looking at Cao Dequan"s full-fledged old face, Zhang Xiaohua knew what he was thinking, and could not help but be nauseated.
But even if this old man wanted to play with him, he still didn"t have the skills to, at least not for now.
"Boss, I can stay with you here, so we can be companions." Xiong Zhuang said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaohua smiled mysteriously. He didn"t say anything.
At this time, Director Guo called over two policemen. One of them asked Zhang Xiaohua to sign the detention permit and the other placed Zhang Xiaohua in handcuff to prepare to take him to the detention center.
Looking at the cold handcuffs worn on Zhang Xiaohua"s wrists, Cao Dequan, Cao Feifei, Cao Huahua, and Ling Feng were all happy. But Zhang Xiaohua had on a careless expression. It seemed that everything was in his grasp.
The next moment, under the escorting of two policemen, Zhang Xiaohua walked out of the office building in the police station followed by Cao Dequan and Ling Feng, whose faces all showed smiles that could not be concealed. Zhang Xiaohua was led towards the gates of the detention center.
At this time, only Xiong Zhuang and Zhang Xiaohua walked side by side. Xiong Zhuang took off his s.h.i.+rt and used it to cover Zhang Xiaohua"s handcuffs in case of cameras nearby.
