Chapter 864: Chapter 479: Regret, Filled With Regret Now (Please Subscribe)_2

Either we continue like this, both of you still seething with rage and refusing to back down, and then Officer Liu and his team will have no choice but to take you both to the police station to deal with this matter.

Or, both of you could calm down and seriously consider whether a reconciliation is possible.

So, the regretful man and the unyielding man exchanged glances, then looked at Ding Yue and Officer Liu, and finally, both lowered their heads, choosing to compromise after all.

It can’t be helped.

Better than being taken to the police station, right?

"Seeing as both of you are injured, hurry to the School Hospital to get checked out. You can each pay for your own medical expenses, no problem with that, right?"

That’s when Officer Liu spoke to the two men.

Officer Liu had realized they both wanted to make amends, so he facilitated the reconciliation, suggesting that they take care of their own medical expenses, thus reaching a satisfactory resolution to the situation.

"Okay!"

The regretful man finally nodded and agreed.

The unyielding man thought it over, probably weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately agreed to the reconciliation as well.

"Would the two of you like to apologize to each other?"

Ding Yue said with a smile.

Given that things had reached this stage, the mid-aged men’s fury had subsided, and they had calmed down. The cooler they became, the more aware they were of their faults.

And so.

The unyielding man was the first to speak, saying to the regretful man, "Sorry about that, I was impulsive earlier."

Seeing the unyielding man say this, the regretful man also scratched his head and said, "It’s my fault too, I shouldn’t have been so competitive with you."

"Alright, since you’ve made peace, we won’t be taking you to spend the night at the station. Go to the hospital now to have your injuries checked. They don’t seem serious, but they still need to be treated, right?"

Officer Liu immediately said to the two mid-aged men.

"Principal Ding."

Suddenly, the hotel lobby Manager approached Ding Yue and asked, "Principal Ding, what about the greenery pot that got smashed?"

Having said that, the hotel lobby manager pointed to the broken greenery landscape pot lying on the ground not far away.

Good grief.

Ding Yue hadn’t noticed it when he first came in, all his attention was drawn by the two middle-aged men fighting.

"This... Officer Liu, could you uphold justice for us?"

Ding Yue said to Officer Liu with a smile.

Officer Liu immediately nodded and said to the two mid-aged men, "Take a look for yourselves, you’ve even smashed the hotel lobby’s greenery landscape pot. What a fine piece it was."

"We’ll compensate, we’ll compensate,"

The regretful man quickly nodded.

The unyielding man spoke more earnestly, "Yes, yes, we’ll compensate."

Ding Yue promptly signaled to the hotel lobby manager.

Understanding Principal Ding’s intention, the hotel lobby manager immediately quoted, "Gentlemen, this greenery landscape pot is 12,000 yuan."

"12,000?"

The regretful man and the unyielding man were stunned upon hearing this, "Just a potted plant, and it’s that expensive?"

"Yes, this is our hotel’s flagship Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai. We have a price list for it. I’ll go get it for you right now,"

the hotel lobby manager assured them, making it clear she wasn’t fudging.

"Principal Ding, is this thing really that pricey?" Officer Liu also came up to Ding Yue and asked in a whisper.

"It certainly can’t be fake,"

Ding Yue knew his staff wouldn’t lie.

Besides, such a Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai would likely have been imported from Japan, and the high price of Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsais from Japan was well-known.

Ding Yue had indeed stated before that commercial areas within the university could opt for Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsais of a certain quality.

Which meant.

Places like the university hotel, and the yet-to-be-opened mall, needed such Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsais.

"Are you trying to extort us?"

The regretful man voiced his suspicion.

"Yeah!"

The unyielding man also seriously doubted the price of 12,000.

"Based on my understanding of the Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai, this one really seems like it was imported from Japan, and at twelve thousand, it’s quite a bargain,"

a parent of a student who was watching said.

Seemed like an expert.

At this moment, the hotel’s lobby manager quickly brought over a report.

It showed that this Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai was indeed imported from Japan and that its price was exactly 12,000 yuan.

After the regretful man and the dissenting man saw the price list, they were left speechless and could only take out their bank cards, splitting the cost, six thousand each, to pay for the damages with their cards.

"Now you know that acting on impulse is the devil, don’t you?"

Officer Liu didn’t forget to take this opportunity to lecture the two middle-aged men, "Just for a moment of pride, you’ve lost six thousand yuan. Isn’t staying in a five-star hotel with that money much better?"

When Ding Yue heard Officer Liu mention "five-star hotel," his eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow.

After the regretful man and the dissenting man compensated for the Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai with 12,000 yuan, they went to the School Hospital of Mist City Arts and Science University to get their injuries checked.

"Officer Liu, thank you for your hard work."

Ding Yue expressed his gratitude to Officer Liu and his team.

"This is within our duty, actually, Principal Ding, the police calls and disputes from Mist City Arts and Science University are truly the fewest in the whole University Town. The last time I remember, it was a student from your university who got lured into a pyramid scheme, right? Later we even took down a major pyramid scheme organization,"

Officer Liu said to Principal Ding with a smile.

What he said was indeed correct—for every university in University Town, there are inevitably police incidents all year round.

Things like thefts of mobile phones and computers in the school, now many college students getting trapped by predatory loans, campus assaults, and so on—the number of cases is endless. Officer Liu and his team handle many cases every day.

Like Mist City Arts and Science University, which has had the fewest disputes and police calls for two to three years now, Officer Liu and his team naturally had a very good impression of the university.

"Is that so? Still, such an incident happened today, and it’s quite embarrassing to have wasted your police resources coming over,"

Ding Yue still said humbly.

The safety work at Mist City Arts and Science University, as well as the students’ disputes and the fraudulent and harmful incidents they faced, were indeed very rare in University Town.

Ding Yue was very confident about this.

However, when it was time to be humble, he remained humble.

"Alright then, Principal Ding, since the matter has been resolved properly, we’ll be heading back first,"

Officer Liu said, having had a brief conversation with Principal Ding, preparing to leave.

"Alright, take care,"

Ding Yue waved his hand in farewell to Officer Liu, and since they drove there, Ding Yue did not accompany them out.

After Officer Liu and his team had left, Ding Yue returned to the campus hotel and saw the hotel staff cleaning up the shattered Guest-Welcoming Pine Bonsai.

Twelve thousand, just like that, ruined.

Such a pity.

But since they compensated for it, Ding Yue wasn’t so heartbroken after all.

"What’s the name of our hotel lobby manager again?"

Ding Yue was about to call the hotel lobby manager over to ask a few questions, but he did not know what to call out, not even the manager’s surname.

After all, there are over a thousand employees now at Mist City Arts and Science University, and it was impossible for Ding Yue to remember all their names. So he quickly asked Wen Ruohan in a low voice.

"That’s Manager Chen Qingqing," Wen Ruohan replied.

"Oh, okay,"

Ding Yue nodded and then called out, "Manager Chen, could you come over here for a moment?"

"Principal Ding."

Chen Qingqing, hearing Principal Ding calling for her, hurried over promptly.

"Manager Chen, when did our school hotel become fully booked with guests?" Ding Yue asked earnestly.

"Actually, after noon, all the hotel rooms were booked out, and we’re now facing a severe shortage of rooms," Chen Qingqing answered.

"So that means... after so many parents came to send their children for enrollment, there’s nowhere left for them to stay..."

Ding Yue mumbled to himself, starting to ponder a solution.

"Yes, Principal Ding, indeed that’s the case. The hotels in University Town are also basically full to bursting. It’s always like this every school opening season, but we at Mist City Arts and Science University have an exceptionally high number of new student enrollments."

Chen Qingqing nodded and said.

"And how is the business at our hotel usually?"

Ding Yue asked further.
