Chapter 279: Chapter 279

Flat-top shouted until he was tired, and Yang Fan had also tired from stepping.

He sat down beside with the steel pliers, and dialed Bai Mengzhu’s number.

It was better for her to take care of the aftermath.

Yu Hong Dou either was frightened by Yang Fan’s fierceness or by the scene in front of her, looking exactly like a small and helpless quail, her expression anxious and chaotic.

She quietly moved closer to Yang Fan, her dark eyes warily staring at those social youths.

Yang Fan reached out to stop Yu Hong Dou by her slender waist and gave her a comforting look.

Bai Mengzhu’s phone connected.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, what’s the matter?"

"Your ex-husband has come to tear down my shop, you’d better come here and handle it," Yang Fan said.

"Ah? Okay, don’t provoke him, I’ll be there shortly," Bai Mengzhu said, suddenly sounding a bit nervous.

Yang Fan hung up the phone and glanced at Flat-top, who was wallowing miserably against the wall.

He hadn’t provoked him, had he?

Bai Mengzhu arrived quickly as she was working at the nearby Agricultural Bank.

But when she hurried into Yang Fan’s store in her professional attire, she couldn’t help but freeze.

"Mr. Yang, this..."

The scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.

She thought that it would be Yang Fan lying down, and his store would have been a total mess.

Instead, it was quite the opposite.

Right hand holding steel pliers, left arm around a young girl, sitting there majestically was Yang Fan, suddenly giving Bai Mengzhu the feel of a dominator, his aura unexpectedly strong.

"I couldn’t hold back for a moment, might have been a bit too rough, how should we handle this now?" Yang Fan asked.

Bai Mengzhu, looking disgustedly at her pitifully beaten ex-husband, said, "It seems like... just throwing him out would be enough now."

"I meant he’s pretty badly hurt," Yang Fan said.

Although they were the provocateurs, it looked like he had struck first.

Moreover, Bai Mengzhu’s ex-husband seemed to have cracked his head and might have even broken his leg.

If they really had to compensate for the medical fees, it would likely cost a substantial amount.

"Mr. Yang, you were defending yourself, right? Since it was self-defense, we should pursue their responsibility. Did the store suffer any other losses?" Bai Mengzhu asked.

Yang Fan thought hard for a moment, then interrupted Bai Mengzhu, "Hold on a second, I think whether I really need to pay, or out of humanitarian concern, I should still offer to pay some of his medical bills."

"Let’s deal with this first, and then discuss other matters afterwards."

Flat-top, suffering with a dizzy head and continuously grimacing in pain, suddenly felt warmed by Yang Fan’s words; this bastard at least had some conscience, knowing he should pay compensation after hitting someone.

Yang Fan rummaged in his pocket, took out around a hundred yuan, hesitated looking at the money, then pulled out the hundred yuan note, stuffing the remaining thirty-something yuan into Flat-top’s arms.

"Your injuries aren’t that serious, just a few cuts here and there, buy a box of Band-Aids to cover them up later."

Flat-top, staring at the utterly meager thirty-something yuan in his arms, was completely flabbergasted.

This bastard seems to be insulting him!

Bai Mengzhu was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

She thought that Yang Fan was now scared and planned to spend money to settle the matter.

But it turned out to be just over thirty yuan... was this considered settled, or not?

"The matter of me injuring you, this should be settled now, right?" Yang Fan looked down on Bai Mengzhu’s ex-husband, a benign smile playing at his lips as he asked.

"Isn’t this a bit too much? My head’s cracked open, my leg’s broken, what can thirty yuan do? Thirty thousand, and I won’t trouble you in the future, otherwise I’ll definitely sue," the flat-top said through gritted teeth with resentment.

Yang Fan couldn’t help but laugh, "You are the person I’ve met who forgets pain the quickest. Think it over carefully. I suppose you wouldn’t want to become a confused idiot in a wheelchair for the rest of your life."

Bai Mengzhu’s ex-husband was stunned, his face rapidly changing colors.

Facing Yang Fan’s gloomy eyes, the little confidence he had mustered up vanished in an instant.

Forcing a slight smile from the corner of his mouth, he nodded vigorously, "Settled, there’s nothing between us now. These injuries really are minor, when I leave, I’ll just buy a pack of band-aids and that’ll be it. Actually, what you’ve given is too much; it’s not needed."

Yang Fan nodded in approval, "You’re not going to walk out and change your mind right away, are you?"

"No, no, I’m not that kind of inconsistent man," the ex-husband hastily said with a flattering smile, "If big brother you feel unsure, we can sign an agreement to prove it."

"What do I have to feel unsure about, it’s nothing. At most, you’d sue me, I’d pay some compensation, and then maybe beat you half to death. It’s not that I’m worried about anything; I just hate trouble, you know?" Yang Fan said.

The ex-husband nodded repeatedly, the ingratiating smile almost freezing on his face.

Bai Mengzhu watched this scene in disbelief, her mind going blank for a moment.

So what was the point of her coming here?

If they had already solved everything perfectly, what could she possibly do?

Oh... creating trouble for her, that must be it.

Bai Mengzhu suddenly realized this very important point; Yang Fan ended up in this trouble purely because of her.

She, too, needed an explanation.

"Alright, since this matter is perfectly resolved, let us discuss the matters that follow," Yang Fan clapped his hands and said.

"Ex-husband, you interrupted my nap and threw away my meat corydalis. Now about that, what should we do? Do you know the value of meat corydalis? I’m not ripping you off; it really is expensive. Plus, it was a gift from a master who handpicked only the best quality, and you threw it into the street," he continued.

The ex-husband’s lips quivered.

This guy is actually accusing him and asking for money; is there no justice?

That’s just way too much!

But these words, he could only shout them in his mind; he dared not let a single word slip from his lips.

"Big brother, I’ll compensate!" the ex-husband said through clenched teeth.

He could have resisted.

Although he was the one who provoked the fight, as the person who got beaten, he still had a bit of moral high ground.

But recalling the ferocity of Yang Fan’s beating, he immediately lost all his nerve.

"You should compensate!" Yang Fan nodded, "Although most of it was picked back up by your brothers, there definitely were some that got lost in the dust. Plus, after being contaminated by the soil, I have to carefully clean them, which is very time-consuming."

"But seeing as you haven’t done anything else too over the line, a thousand should do," he added.

The ex-husband let out a huge sigh of relief, thankful it was only a thousand. He had been really worried that Yang Fan would make an outrageous demand.
