The middle-aged man could only cast a pleading gaze towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo said calmly, "If you feel the compensation he's offering is too little, you can state your terms directly."
"No, no, no, it's not little, it's not little. I, I just feel there's no need for a complete renovation, nor is there a need for compensation for these few days of lost business," the middle-aged man stammered.
Chen Mo asked, "How can there be no renovation? This place reeks. If you don't renovate, do you think anyone will come here to eat in the future?"
The middle-aged man mumbled, unable to speak.
Most importantly, he was just an ordinary person. How could he dare to ask a figure from the underworld to compensate him?
Liang Chao seemed to sense the middle-aged man's apprehension and quickly said, "Brother, don't worry. From now on, I guarantee no one will dare to cause trouble for you here. If anyone dares to, I'll break their legs!"
"As for compensation, I'll give you one million directly. You can decide what style you want to renovate it in."
"One, one million!" The middle-aged man was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
He had lived half his life and had never seen so much money.
Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Liang Chao thought it wasn't enough and quickly added, "One million is a bit little. Uh, I'll add another five hundred thousand!"
The middle-aged man was too nervous to speak.
One point five million! For ordinary people like them, that was an astronomical sum!
"Alright, one point five million it is," Chen Mo said, knowing the middle-aged man was just too nervous, not that it was too little.
"Too, too, too." The middle-aged man spoke for a long time but couldn't form a complete sentence.
Chen Mo reached out and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, "Don't worry. Use this money to renovate properly. Otherwise, we won't have anywhere to eat when we come here in the future."
"Yes, yes," the middle-aged man nodded quickly.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had agreed to the terms, Liang Chao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then looked at Chen Mo with gratitude.
In his opinion, if Chen Mo hadn't spoken up for him, he might have had to spend much more money to satisfy the man.
Liang Chao did not dare to delay and quickly took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote out one point five million, and handed it to the middle-aged man.
As he took the check, the middle-aged man was still stunned. He still couldn't believe that what was happening before him was real!
Liang Chao then turned his gaze to the trembling young man beside him, "Damn it, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to Doctor Chen!"
Hearing this, the young man scrambled over and bowed to Chen Mo, confessing, "Doctor Chen, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been arrogant. Please spare me this time!"
Chen Mo glanced at the young man and said nothing.
Liang Chao raised his leg and kicked the young man's leg.
With a "crack!"
The young man's leg was instantly broken.
In pain, the young man writhed on the ground.
"You blind dog, how dare you offend Doctor Chen? Even if Doctor Chen forgives you, I won't let you off. I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
Saying this, Liang Chao pulled out his belt and lashed out at the young man.
The young man, who had been arrogant and overbearing moments ago, had lost all his swagger. He rolled on the ground, his cries of agony echoing.
Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan had never witnessed such a scene and were both scared pale.
Tian Mengyao hurriedly grabbed Chen Mo's arm and advised, "Let's just let it go. It won't be good if something serious happens."
Chen Mo nodded slightly. He didn't want to cause too much trouble, especially since the other party had already compensated them.
He immediately waved his hand, "Forget it, give him one more chance. However, from now on, don't let him appear before me again. Otherwise, I'll beat him every time I see him!"
Hearing Chen Mo's words, the young man groaning on the ground was moved to tears, "Doctor Chen, I promise, I promise I'll never appear before you again."
"Damn it, why aren't you getting lost quickly!" Liang Chao roared at the young man.
As soon as the young man heard this, he dared not linger for another moment. He stood up, dragging his broken leg.
Supported by the woman, he quickly scrambled back into the car.
"Director Chen, you made them pay so much money, and you even broke that person's leg. Will there be any trouble?" Yang Lan asked with concern.
Chen Mo shook his head, "No. In fact, he should thank me."
"What? He should thank me?" Yang Lan looked surprised.
At that moment, Liang Chao strode up to Chen Mo, "Doctor Chen, we were wrong today. We are truly grateful that you are willing to let us off. If you need anything in the future, just give me a call!"
As he spoke, Liang Chao respectfully handed Chen Mo a business card with both hands.
Yang Lan and Tian Mengyao were stunned.
They hadn't expected Liang Chao to actually thank Chen Mo!
Chen Mo accepted the business card Liang Chao handed him without being polite.
Without further delay, Liang Chao said goodbye to Chen Mo and quickly got into his car to leave.
"Chen Mo, is this guy crazy! He paid money, beat someone up, and then thanked you!" Yang Lan pointed at the departing commercial vehicle, her voice filled with disbelief.
Chen Mo smiled and offered no explanation.
Because he knew that Liang Chao wasn't afraid of him, but of the Mo family.
If the Mo family found out about this incident, Liang Chao's position would likely be lost.
"Doctor Chen, this money is too much. It's more than enough to buy a few more shops. Why don't you keep the money? After all, without your help, my shop might have gone out of business," the middle-aged man had never expected this outcome.
He quickly handed the check in his hand to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo pushed it back, "Then buy the shops next door as well, and make the store bigger. I definitely cannot accept this money. Just give us a discount when we come to eat in the future."
The middle-aged man quickly replied, "How can we offer a discount? You are the benefactor of our entire family! From now on, whenever you come, it will be complimentary!"
"Okay," Chen Mo naturally wouldn't refuse.
After all, if he didn't even agree to complimentary meals, the man wouldn't accept the money.
"Gulp."
Just then, Yang Lan's stomach suddenly made a strange noise.
Seeing everyone's eyes turn towards her, Yang Lan blushed and said awkwardly, "Director Chen, I'm hungry."
The middle-aged man then remembered that Chen Mo and the others had come to eat. They had been so preoccupied with handling the situation that they hadn't even had a sip of water.
He quickly said to Chen Mo, "Doctor Chen, if you don't mind, please come to my home to eat. It's closer to your hospital, and we have ingredients ready at home."
"Okay, we came here precisely to taste your cooking," Chen Mo nodded.
After all, at this hour, it would be too late to go to another restaurant.
