Ye Fei was smoking on the balcony of the hospital. The more he thought about what had happened, the angrier he became.He had not provoked anyone. He just wanted to run a company to provide some jobs for veterans, but unexpectedly, someone wanted to cause trouble for him.
Although Zhang Desheng had been taken away by Lu Danyang, Ye Fei still felt angry.
"Manager Ye, do you have a cigarette?"
Chen Mao came up behind Ye Fei.
Chen Mao"s injuries were not serious. He had a mild concussion, with slight dizziness and vomiting, but otherwise he was fine.
"Chen Mao, thank you."
Ye Fei handed Chen Mao a cigarette and helped him light it, then he looked the man up and down
To be honest, Ye Fei"s impression of Chen Mao hadn"t been great. He was not as strong as Zhao Hongshuo or Tang Ye. Furthermore, Chen Mao was usually very silent.
But now, Ye Fei had to admit that among the people he was working with now, Chen Mao was the smartest one.
If it hadn"t been for the evidence that Chen Mao had recorded in advance, Lu Danyang would not have been able to do anything about Zhang Desheng.
"Manager Ye, I... If I"d mastered a little kung fu, Tang Ye would not have been beaten so badly."
Chen Mao took a deep drag from his cigarette, and he could not stop tears from flowing down his face.
"Mao, people are different from each other. Someone is good at this, someone is good at that. Zhang Desheng was taken away because of you. Otherwise, there would be no real evidence, and that group of bullies would have gotten away with this."
Ye Fei patted Chen Mao"s shoulder, then said, "But I still think Zhang Desheng got off easy. He actually is the boss behind the Taiping Security Company! He did so many things to deliberately target us!"
"Ah! He is? Well then, we must make them compensate us, because we"ve suffered so much!"
"Compensation... The problem is, Zhang Desheng is locked in an army cell. How can we go after him for money?" asked Ye Fei, frowning.
"We go after the Taiping Security Company! We ask him to write a letter indicating what he owes us, then we go after his company for money," said Chen Mao.
"Chen Mao, you are really very smart!"
Ye Fei thought this was really a good idea, so he immediately called Lu Danyang to discuss the matter.
"Ye Fei, you mean you want to chase this matter privately?"
Lu Danyang was a little surprised. He thought Ye Fei was a stubborn soldier and somewhat impulsive.
"Mr. Lu, Zhang Desheng took the lead in destroying my company. He injured my staff and they"re still lying in the hospital. He"s going to give me a little compensation! As for dealing with him in other ways, that"s your business, and I won"t interfere," Ye Fei said.
"What you said makes sense. I"ll talk to Zhang Desheng and see how much compensation he"s willing to pay," Lu Danyang said.
"Well, I"ll go with you."
Ye Fei hung up the phone and asked Chen Mao and Xu Sande to look after the people in the hospital, then he took a taxi to the barracks.
Zhang Desheng was obviously scared of Lu Danyang. When he heard Ye Fei was after compensation, he immediately asked for paper and wrote a note indicating he"d pay him three million yuan.
The cost of the office equipment and decorations in Ye Fei"s company did not exceed 100,000 yuan, but Zhao Hongshuo and the others were injured badly, and health couldn"t be bought. Zhang Desheng could only hope that paying this much money, or any other money Ye Fei demanded, would prevent them from seeking revenge in the future.
Ye Fei took this IOU and immediately went to Taiping Security Company to ask for the money.
This time, Ye Fei took only two people.
One was Chen Mao. He thought Chen Mao was very smart, and he should be able to help Ye Fei if a situation should arise.
The other was the deputy director of the police station in Xin Ming District. His name was Peng Bo.
After Zhang Desheng was caught, Peng Bo had temporarily taken charge of the police station, and he knew everything that had happened with Zhang Desheng.
Lu Danyang ordered Peng Bo to go with Ye Fei. Otherwise, he feared that when Ye Fei took the note to ask for the money, there might be another conflict.
Peng Bo was very young for a deputy director, but he was very shrewd.
When Peng Bo met with Ye Fei, he was very polite. Apparently, he had already heard of Ye Fei.
Peng Bo took Ye Fei and Chen Mao to Taiping Security Company. From the outside of the building, it appeared to be a very profitable company.
Peng Bo had been in contact with Xiao Dabao, the owner of the security company, so he and Ye Fei entered his office through a small door in the back.
Dressed in a suit and armed with a Rolex watch, Xiao Dabao looked like a successful man. However, everyone in the company knew that Xiao Dabao was only nominally the boss, but in fact, he was just Zhang Desheng"s puppet.
Peng Bo went up to Xiao Dabao with Ye Fei and Chen Mao, which surprised Xiao Dabao a little.
Xiao Dabao knew Peng Bo, and had also heard of Ye Fei. He"d heard that Zhang Desheng had offended this man and was now being held somewhere.
Xiao Dabao invited them to sit down in his office.
"Haha, I"ve been hearing your name, and I"m really honored to meet you!" Xiao Dabao said.
Ye Fei calmly shook hands with him. He could tell that this middle-aged man was very shrewd, After they shook hands, Ye Fei directly said, "Mr. Xiao, I"m here to ask for my money."
