Yang Decheng naturally wouldn't bother arguing with Lu Feng's brothers, but got into the police car as quickly as possible and left the company.

Roadside.

After Yu Mingyuan and the others chatted with Er Mao for over ten minutes, they also left the scene, having agreed to discuss the compensation amount by phone tomorrow.

On the way back, everyone's mood was a bit depressed. After pondering for a while, Yu Mingyuan took the initiative to call Su Tianyu and told him everything that had happened that evening.

After listening, Su Tianyu immediately asked, "My second brother was also arrested? Is he okay?"

"He's fine, he just punched Yang Decheng a few times, at most it'll just be a detention," Yu Mingyuan replied softly. "But the compensation is going to be a problem. Lu Feng fired a gun, which angered the upper echelons of the Baolong Group. They're probably trying to withhold the money now and prepare to go through the litigation process."

Su Tianyu thought for a moment and replied, "Brother Yuan, Lu Feng didn't do anything wrong by doing that. Even if you didn't beat that Yang Decheng today, Baolong Company would still delay the compensation. Plus, hitting him will help the subsequent progress of things."

"Then what are your thoughts?" Yu Mingyuan asked.

"I don't understand the situation yet. I'll have to wait until I get home to figure out what to do," Su Tianyu replied softly. "I called Li Yuan. I'll ask about the city's attitude when I get back."

"Alright, what about Changqing Company...!"

"Tell Lu Feng's brothers that there's no need to rush to make trouble!" Su Tianyu immediately instructed. "Blindly causing trouble will only make a justified matter unjustified. Tell them to wait a bit, and we'll go back and discuss what to do."

"Okay, I understand," Yu Mingyuan responded softly. "I was thinking, if Lu Feng goes in, and Baolong Company takes the initiative to talk to us about compensation, we won't accept the offer right away."

"The maximum insurance amount and the actual compensation are two different things. There's an adjudication process in between," Su Tianyu immediately replied. "So I personally think that Baolong Company will eventually admit liability, but they won't admit to the full amount. They'll definitely want to negotiate."

"Yes."

"Brother Yuan, your idea is right. If they want to negotiate, we won't negotiate now. You just need to settle the families of the workers," Su Tianyu said his opinion.

"Okay, when will you be able to get home!"

"It's hard to say. If the rain gets lighter, I can get home tomorrow night!"

"Okay, be careful!"

"Okay, that's it!"

After saying that, the two ended the call.

...

Inside the hospital.

Yang Decheng lay on the bed in the surgical clinic, wincing in pain, "Be gentle... be gentle, my gums can't take it!"

The doctor, wearing a mask, frowned and asked, "Did someone hit your face with a sledgehammer? Four or five of your teeth have been loosened. Open your mouth wide, I need to clean your mouth."

Hearing this, Yang Decheng hated Su Tianbei even more in his heart.

Half an hour later, Yang Decheng rinsed his mouth, a gauze pad on his face, and walked out of the surgical clinic.

In the corridor, Liu Xiaohai, who had been waiting for a while, immediately got up and said, "Director Yang!"

Yang Decheng glanced at him and waved his hand, "Sit down, I want to talk to you about something."

Liu Xiaohai bent over and sat down.

Yang Decheng held an ice pack to his bruised cheek and asked vaguely, "If I remember correctly, you introduced Tongji Association, right?"

"Yes!" Liu Xiaohai nodded. "But our role is just labor introduction, an intermediary."

Yang Decheng paused and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiaohai, a mining accident has occurred, and subsequent compensation issues will be involved. I hope that your third-party company can understand its position. I heard from Xiao Liu in the project department that you have been cooperating with the company for a while."

"Yes," Liu Xiaohai nodded.

"The Tongji Association is just a gangster organization. The company certainly won't recognize their pursuit of compensation," Yang Decheng turned to look at Liu Xiaohai. "We may be going to court with them later."

Liu Xiaohai frowned and remained silent.

"My point is, during the litigation period, you also have to play a role," Yang Decheng whispered. "I heard that you are also from the Zhanan District, and you are very familiar with people there. You can privately help the mining company with the work of the families of the deceased, bypassing the Tongji Association, and discussing compensation issues with them."

Liu Xiaohai was stunned when he heard this.

"I just had a phone call with the general group. The insurance company doesn't recognize this matter, so we can only pay for it ourselves," Yang Decheng said. "A compensation of 980,000 is definitely unreasonable. Even if we want to compensate, we will only give each person about 400,000 at most."

Liu Xiaohai looked at Yang Decheng, "I'm afraid this...!"

"Let me finish," Yang Decheng waved his hand to interrupt. "If you can negotiate with the families of the deceased and lower the amount to our ideal price, then the company will not treat you badly. I can make the decision for you, at least give you a million in labor fees, and if the situation is good, it may be increased."

Liu Xiaohai rubbed his palms, "Director Yang, this is difficult to do. It's not a question of how much commission you give me, but bypassing the Tongji Association and directly contacting the victim's family. It's a bit of putting the pot on the stove, not very righteous."

Yang Decheng was speechless when he heard this, "How much is righteousness worth?! What, do you have relatives in the Tongji Association's leadership?"

"No, it's just that I... I haven't done anything like this before," Liu Xiaohai paused and said, "The union is also particularly disgusted by this. It will poke their lungs if the capital side privately contacts the workers. And to be honest, I and Su Tianbei of the Tongji Association are also childhood friends...!"

"Don't mention that idiot to me!" Yang Decheng immediately exploded when he heard this, "You have to be clear about who your small company relies on to survive!"

Liu Xiaohai looked up at the other party, "Director Yang, those workers are really not easy, I came from the Zhanan shantytown! A family may only have one or two laborers, and if someone dies, the remaining family members will not be able to survive. Our mining side...!"

"Are you going to do it or not?" Yang Decheng interrupted and shouted.

Liu Xiaohai hesitated for a long time, "Although I love money and love to make trouble, but... this thing is too much of a betrayal to my friends, I'm sorry, Director Yang, I can't do it, or you can find someone else."

"Are you all not very good in the head!"

"I'm different from you, what I rely on to hold up this bowl of rice is my reputation and popularity," Liu Xiaohai stood up and asked bluntly, "You and the Mining Group can't support me for a lifetime, right?"

Yang Decheng was speechless.

"I wish you a speedy recovery, then I'll leave first," Liu Xiaohai said with a smile, nodding and bowing as he left the corridor.

...

Two days later.

After experiencing ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, Su Tianyu finally returned to Dragon City. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately made an appointment with Li Yuan.

At the same time.

After kidnapping Manager Pang, Water Brother, Zhang Chao and others also sneaked into the Sinaloa region, preparing for the next plan.
