Instead, he escalated matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to school from the New Year holidays, Li Hu repeatedly made harassing phone calls to Liu Lingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even deliberately waited at the school gate, and whenever Liu Lingling came out, he would cling to her, making Liu Lingling extremely annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Liu Lingling did not tell Guo Shuai about this, fearing he would act impulsively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only later, when she was so harassed by Li Hu that she had no choice, that she told Guo Shuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Guo Shuai immediately exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately wanted to go and settle the score with Li Hu. However, he was stopped by Liu Lingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Guo Shuai was originally accompanying Liu Lingling out shopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as they left the school gate, they were blocked by Li Hu riding a motorcycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two parties got into a verbal argument, which then escalated into a fierce conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the scuffle, Li Hu took out a chain from his bike to use as a weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the struggle, Guo Shuai also lost his senses in a hot-blooded moment, snatched the chain from the other party's hand, and violently struck Li Hu's head with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Guo Shuai's account, Li Hu fell straight down and was immediately incapacitated on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Fan, I... I'm done for.

I'm scared, I ran away. I'm hiding in an alley now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan immediately asked again: \"Let me ask you, did you see with your own eyes that Li Hu was incapacitated? Did you confirm his breathing? That he died?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dian, sitting opposite, frowned upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the phone, Guo Shuai sounded flustered, \"No... I didn't confirm. At that time, I was so scared, I just saw that guy lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was Lingling who told me to run away quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief, and promptly said: \"As long as you haven't confirmed death, it might not be as serious as you think. Don't panic first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's what we'll do, tell me where you are, and I'll come find you right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai gave an address, and Chen Fan nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.

If you run away, you'll truly be done for life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan comforted him, \"Maybe the situation isn't as bad as you think, we still can't confirm what exactly happened to that guy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So let's turn ourselves in first, then I'll go confirm the severity of the other party's condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai said nervously in a trembling voice, \"Even if he didn't die, I will... I will still go to jail.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Guo Shuai sternly, \"Is running away really the solution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Think about your parents, think about your girlfriend... do you really never want to see them again in this life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Guo Shuai's gaze waver, Chen Fan immediately said, \"You go turn yourself in, leave the rest to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it's paying money or apologizing, I'll help you resolve it. I'll definitely strive to get you out in the shortest time possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Shuai looked at Chen Fan, his eyes red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Fan, I trust you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan patted Guo Shuai's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan hailed a taxi and accompanied Guo Shuai to the nearest police station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After turning himself in and reporting the case, and Guo Shuai recounting the incident, he was temporarily detained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only then that Chen Fan finally learned of Li Hu's condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously injured and in a coma, but not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this news, Chen Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's good he's not dead. As long as he's not dead, there's still room for negotiation...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the police station, Chen Fan immediately did a few things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he used Guo Shuai's phone to contact Liu Lingling and have her recount the details of the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, he immediately contacted the lawyer Liang he had previously cooperated with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, when signing the contract to purchase the amusement park in the Western City, Chen Fan had worked with Lawyer Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meeting, Chen Fan recounted the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawyer Liang then said, \"Intentionally injuring another person's body and causing serious injury is punishable by a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Lawyer Liang and asked directly, \"Is there any room for maneuver in this case?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawyer Liang did not hide it either, \"As long as you're willing to spend money, and seek forgiveness from the victim, there's a chance to reduce the sentence...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan understood, the key was still with the victim Li Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However...\" Lawyer Liang reminded, \"This will likely cost you a lot of money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said decisively, \"I'm not afraid of spending money. I just hope my brother is okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan appointed Lawyer Liang as his brother's legal representative, giving him full authority to handle this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawyer Liang quickly contacted Li Hu's family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after just a few words, he was chased out of the hospital room by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lawyer Liang privately consulted the doctor to understand Li Hu's condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head injury was quite severe, with the possibility of brain concussion, as well as a skull fracture causing irreversible damage to the brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this news, Chen Fan thought to himself, as long as he's not dead, it's fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hu remained in a coma for three days before finally waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Lawyer Liang went to the hospital again, directly expressing Chen Fan's side's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they don't prosecute Guo Shuai, everything can be discussed. He even directly told them they could provide financial compensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Li Hu's family showed some flexibility in their attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Hu made a demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants to see me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Lawyer Liang, somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that Li Hu said he wants to see you, to talk to you in person. Otherwise, he won't make any concessions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is this kid up to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","ee050aef59771ce9202ee73f4fec806c9694b89da4d63dda42bc2cfe624c9c9d","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-168","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-166",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
