The seasoned police officer said unhurriedly, "If we handle this, it'll be classified as mutual assault, and both sides will be detained."
The security guards and Manager Yang were quite polite, responding, "We'll cooperate however you need."
If they were actually detained, it would only be for a few days, and the authorities would definitely side with them. Not only would it not affect their jobs, but they'd also walk away with a nice bonus and have curried favor with the boss. What a sweet deal.
Old Peter was stunned when he heard this, shouting, "What? Why should we be detained when we were the ones who got beaten?"
Pete quickly stepped in front of his father and asked, "If we go for mediation, how would that work?"
The old officer glanced at him and said, "For mediation, mutual assault means each side covers their own medical costs. From the looks of it, none of you have serious injuries."
"No way. Then we'd be taking a huge loss!"
Old Peter jumped up again.
