After speaking with a police officer who knew the situation, the plump woman and her husband could no longer act so arrogantly. They quickly apologized, offering to pay for a private settlement. The husband then slapped his wife fiercely across her other cheek. Now both cheeks were swollen, making her face strangely symmetrical.
For a moment, Han Ying didn't know what to do and had to ask Yi Anguo for help. Yi Anguo thought for a moment before turning to Ding Jing to ask for the best course of action.
Ding Jing calmly analyzed the pros and cons. If they settled privately, they could demand more financial compensation. If they went through legal channels, the compensation wouldn't be much, and the sentence probably wouldn't be very heavy. Even if a prison sentence was handed down, the other party could use money to reduce the sentence, arrange for parole, or get medical bail. In short, it wasn't worth the trouble. It would be better to demand more money directly.
