Chapter 566: Some Angels Do the Devil's Work

Twenty minutes later.

Qu Wannian stared blankly at the surveillance footage that had already finished playing.

"Are those three people alright?" He looked up at the police officer standing nearby.

"The injuries aren't too serious," the officer replied:

"We were just about to go negotiate with the other side, see if we can reach a settlement."

Hearing the injuries weren't serious, the tension on Qu Wannian's face eased:

"That's good, that's good. As long as the people are fine, leave the negotiation to me. You don't need to go."

He stood up, wiped a hand across his sweaty forehead, then said to Yu Dazhang:

"Come with me."

Even if he hadn't said it, Yu Dazhang was going to go along anyway.

Like father, like daughter.

What followed went far more smoothly than Yu Dazhang had expected.

For Qu Wannian, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a problem.

They didn't even negotiate in person; Qu Wannian had the company's legal team go talk to the other side directly.

First, they settled the matter of Seeing Qu Tuotuo hitting someone — sixty thousand yuan bought a reconciliation.

Think that's too little? Should it have been six hundred million?

Put it this way: if the amount really went beyond the normal range, even the police station would have stepped in to stop it.

The internet has long been buzzing about how Principal Wang hit someone and settled for 2.09 million.

News like that — just let it go in one ear. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't take it seriously.

Little Wang has plenty of money, but he's no fool.

Even if he really spent that much, the money would go to lawyers, to people who can solve problems — never to the victim.

Even if Little Wang wanted to pay it, the police wouldn't allow it.

After Seeing Qu Tuotuo came out of the police station, both sides began discussing the hit-and-run.

On this matter, Yu Dazhang noticed something off.

Neither side even mentioned calling the police.

It gave the impression they had both silently agreed to handle it privately.

The other family's side would certainly want it that way — after all, on this matter, they were the beneficiaries.

But Qu Wannian not calling the police was a bit hard to explain.

At the very least, he should have reported it to traffic police, then pulled the surveillance footage from the road section where it happened, to reconstruct what occurred.

As the helmsman of a corporate group, he couldn't possibly lack such basic common sense.

Especially with the group's legal staff right beside him.

Since it didn't make sense, there had to be another reason.

"What's going on with your dad?"

Yu Dazhang pulled Seeing Qu Tuotuo aside and asked:

"Why not call the police?"

After leaving the police station, Seeing Qu Tuotuo had barely said a word, looking like she was in a foul mood.

"Would calling the police do any good?" Seeing Qu Tuotuo glared at him.

"Of course it would!" Yu Dazhang was displeased and shot back:

"Traffic police would definitely investigate the cause of the accident, and with the police involved, the other side wouldn't dare twist the facts."

Seeing Qu Tuotuo looked at him:

"And then?"

And then? Yu Dazhang was stumped by the question.

What "and then"? Once the facts were clear, of course everyone would just go home.

"You guys…"

Yu Dazhang looked at the anger on Seeing Qu Tuotuo's face and suddenly felt a pang of frustration:

"I get it. You don't want to just let it go like this. You want to…"

He stopped mid-sentence, then turned his gaze to the legal staff.

"Exactly."

Seeing Qu Tuotuo nodded:

"We want to pick up the weapon of the law to protect ourselves."

"I did something wrong. I didn't run, didn't dodge — I faced the consequences head-on, because I respect the law."

Saying this, she looked toward the hospital ward:

"I hope they do too."

Why do you father and daughter both like testing people's humanity… Yu Dazhang shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't say that out loud.

No matter what, as a police officer, he couldn't indulge family members in going too far.

So…

Play dumb.

He had already guessed what would happen next.

Qu Wannian would surely meet every single demand the other side made.

Name your price for compensation—whatever they ask for, he'll satisfy it without question.
