The approaching man was none other than He Si's top enforcer.
President Niu would not be naive enough to think that a figure beyond his reach would stoop to beating up children at an elentary school.
Thinking back to the way Xu Fan had blurted out He Si's full na on the phone, President Niu's legs went so weak they hardly felt like his own anymore.
"Officers! Officers, wait, wait up!"
Without waiting for He Si's man to confront him, President Niu dashed after the two police officers!
"What's the matter? Is there sothing else?"
Seeing the previously arrogant President Niu hurrying after them, the two officers were sowhat puzzled.
President Niu forced a sycophantic smile on his face and said, "Hehe, it's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
"He, he didn't hit . We were just playing around, just stretching our legs, that's all."
"..."
The abrupt change in President Niu's deanor was nothing short of a complete 180, leaving the two officers exchanging confused glances before asking, "Stretching your legs? You got stretched out on the ground, face all swollen up?"
"Hehe, it's just that we are really close friends. If he didn't hit , I would feel like he doesn't even consider a friend!"
Fearing the officers wouldn't believe him, President Niu tensed, then slapped himself hard across the face.
Internally, he was crying out in agony, cursing his misfortune for crossing paths with such an untouchable figure.
"Are you sure you want to drop this matter?"
"Sure! Sure! Thank you, officers, for taking the ti to co here, but it was really just a misunderstanding, please let my friend go."
"Boring..."
Seeing how low President Niu stooped, the officers guessed he definitely didn't intend to pursue the matter any further and grunted displeasedly, then warned, "Next ti this happens, don't just call the police for nothing, understood?"
"Hehe, got it, got it..."
President Niu nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, relieved to see the back of the departing officers.
If Xu Fan had been locked up, he was sure that it wouldn't be long before he ended up being dumped into the Qinhuai River to feed the fish.
"President Niu, why did you let the police go? That guy was way out of line just now…"
Wiping off his cold sweat, he saw Teacher Huang rushing over, puzzled.
She had finally worked up the courage to call the police and had hoped to share in so of the credit with President Niu afterwards.
But now everything was smoothed over, what kind of resolution was that?
"Get lost, you motherfucker, who the hell asked you to call the cops? Stupid bitch!"
Seeing Teacher Huang bringing it up scared the hell out of President Niu, who instantly slapped her across the face.
He thought, if it weren't for this stupid woman calling the cops, he would have only suffered a beating at most, not ending up in such a predicant.
"President Niu, you..."
Teacher Huang, clutching her swollen face, felt aggrieved; wasn't she just thinking of his well-being…
"Hehe, big, big brother, weren't you scared just now?"
President Niu was too busy to fuss over Teacher Huang, instead, he gave Xu Fan a sheepish smile and started showing concern.
Xu Fan glanced indifferently at He Si's henchman approaching and couldn't help chuckling, "President Niu, just now you wished you could chop into pieces, and now you want to be my friend? That doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
"Ay, big brother, look at what you're saying, I, Little Niu, might not qualify to be your friend, but a man's got to have dreams, right?"
"That's right, without dreams, you're just a salted fish."
Xu Fan couldn't care less about the bully who only pushed around the weak, casually dismissed him with a wave and told him to get lost quickly.
"Master Xu."
At that mont, He Si's subordinate hurried over, glanced at the retreating figure of the other boss, and respectfully greeted Xu Fan.
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Alright, there's nothing more, you can go back now. Also, say thanks to He Si for ."
"Understood."
Once He Si's subordinate had left, Xu Fan walked over to the mother and daughter, Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qingyan's pretty face was streaked with tears. Seeing Xu Fan approaching again, when he was supposed to be arrested, felt sowhat surreal to her.
"Xu Fan, who was that just now?"
She looked at the departing stranger, guessing it must have been thanks to him that the other boss had backed down so readily.
"A friend, seems quite effective."
Xu Fan explained with a smile, teased Mu Xiaoduo beside him, and then said, "Alright, Qingyan, it's getting late, let's get going."
"You see, shouldn't you treat to dinner tonight?"
"Even if you didn't ntion it, I would've dragged you along."
Mu Qingyan, breaking into a smile through tears, playfully glared at Xu Fan.
Today, Xu Fan really had helped her a lot, and she had no idea how to thank him properly. She thought that Xu Fan's suggestion to go out for dinner was probably his way of giving her a chance to express her gratitude.
Leaving Xiaoduo's school, Mu Qingyan took Xu Fan to a nearby restaurant.
Xu Fan had said that eating sothing simple at ho would suffice, but Mu Qingyan felt that it was too casual.
She firmly dragged Xu Fan to the most upscale restaurant nearby.
She stopped only after ordering nearly ten dishes, Mu Qingyan then laughed lightly, covering her mouth, "We had so much fun today, it calls for a feast, and you are on the hook for this."
Looking at Mu Qingyan, whose eyes were filled with affection, Xu Fan felt like crying, "Ten dishes, I'm not a pig..."
"By the way, Qingyan, do you think we could let Xiaoduo take a break from school for a while?"
Before they knew it, their table was filled with dishes. Xu Fan served a bite to Xiaoduo and then brought it up.
"Uh, Xu Fan, Xiaoduo really isn't fitting well in this school, but sending her to a school for the deaf, I might not be able to take ti out to look after her..."
Mu Qingyan bit her lip, looking troubled upon hearing Xu Fan's suggestion.
She was well aware that Xiaoduo, being a disability-challenged child in a regular school, was subjected to unfair treatnt.
But she was just unable to manage both, supporting the family and caring for her daughter.
Perhaps, after so ti, she would be forced to sell her shop to focus on her daughter, but at the very least, she needed to find soone to take over.
"Qingyan, you've misunderstood my point..."
Seeing Mu Qingyan struggling, Xu Fan shook his head with a mixture of amusent and frustration.
"You saw today, this elentary school isn't good enough. I think Xiaoduo should be in a better elentary school. In a few days, I'll talk to my friend to see if she can arrange for Xiaoduo to be transferred to the best elentary school in Jinling."
Yan Ruyu was the principal of Zijing Middle School, and Xu Fan believed her network of connections could easily handle this issue.
Having said that, Xu Fan smiled and added, "Also, I need Xiaoduo to take so ti off to help with her treatnt."
