Chapter 1019: Chapter 767 Decision

This matter concerning Song Chaoqun caused quite a stir in Magic City.

Liu Fen was the first to receive the news, and her immediate thought was to cover it up and resolve it with money.

That is, to offer the victim a substantial compensation to let them forget the incident.

If it were an ordinary family, facing a three million check from Liu Fen, they would likely let it go.

Unfortunately, the victim’s family did not accept the check apology.

Instead, they insisted on Song Chaoqun receiving his deserved punishment, which meant imprisonment.

Song Chaoqun even threatened the parents of the victim, causing the situation to escalate quickly.

When Song Wu rushed back to handle it, her eldest son had already been arrested.

Having turned eighteen and with such an obvious case of intentionally hitting someone with a car, a sentence of several years was very typical.

Unless the victim’s family decided not to pursue it, which would mean allowing a private settlement.

Song Wu raised the compensation to ten million, but the other party still did not accept it.

For the first time, the arrogant Song Chaoqun spent twenty-four hours inside.

Seeing that money couldn’t solve the issue, Song Wu had no choice but to seek help from her sister, Song Yanxi.

To be honest, given their family’s situation, getting someone out wasn’t too difficult.

Especially for someone not yet sentenced.

By the time the news reached Chen Pingsheng, it was already the fifth day.

He said nothing and did not allow anyone to use family resources to bail him out.

The external public opinion and news were suppressed immediately.

For families with their level of wealth, they could override the law.

Or, to put it simply, break conventional legal constraints.

However, once they did this, the descendants would only become more reliant on their power and more arrogant.

When the law can no longer restrain family behavior, it will inevitably backfire in the end.

With limited resources, Song Wu soon went to Peng City after realizing she couldn’t solve it herself; her thought was simple: get Song Chaoqun out first, then deal with the aftermath.

“Brother-in-law, you can’t just ignore this, right?”

“Indeed, it can’t be ignored.”

“Then when can Chaoqun come out?”

“In five years, maybe!”

“What do you mean?”

Song Wu, after all, is a mother, and it’s not wrong for her to care about her child, “Do you want him to stay in there for five years?”

“Shouldn’t he?”

Little Ji Ye was taken out to play by Liu Qingqing, while a lot of relatives came to the house because of this matter, all pleading with him.

Chen Pingsheng said, “Who gave him the courage to be so reckless, even to the point of threatening the victim’s parents? Song Wu, don’t forget that you once were just an ordinary person.”

Song Wu was once a nearly invisible figure in the entertainment circle, easily bullied.

Now, she is the famous younger sister-in-law of the Tengying Group.

Once people become powerful, they often forget the times when they were on their toes.

“Brother-in-law, I know this is Chaoqun’s fault, but please at least let him out first, and we can slowly teach him a lesson, can’t we?”

Song Wu knew very well how deeply rooted her brother-in-law was in Magic City. It’s no exaggeration to say that if he wanted Song Chaoqun out, it would happen immediately.

“If he comes out this time, there will only be a worse next time. You should go now. I won’t handle this, nor will I let your sister use any group resources to help you bail him out.”

“Brother-in-law, I’m begging you. You used so many resources to get Xiao Ya and Xiao Le into their positions. When there’s a family incident, shouldn’t they do something?”

“I used resources to get them into politics, not to clean up your mess.”

Chen Pingsheng certainly wouldn’t help his sister-in-law bail someone out. In fact, he even sent someone to talk to the victim.

The victim’s family has been extremely anxious during this period.

Their child was bullied so badly by a spoiled brat, how could the parents not be heartbroken?

But after some investigation, it was clear that the brat had intricate family ties with the biggest group in Magic City.

Very close ties at that.

No wonder he could be so arrogant. If their son hadn’t been harmed so badly, they would have probably never dared to sue someone from this group.

Even if they did, they would worry about their family, to the point of losing sleep at night.

Of course, they were also very smart, realizing the huge gap between them and that group, so to avoid trouble, they made the matter known as widely as possible initially.

They aimed for everyone to know about it.

Only this way would they feel safe.

It shows how nervous ordinary people can be when facing such a giant entity.

On one side was a spoiled brat they couldn’t afford to offend; on the other, their own son.

Many might choose to accept the money to settle the peace, but they chose to stand up for their child.

It must be said that being a parent isn’t easy.

The person Chen Pingsheng sent to deal with them was not like Song Wu, who had an aggressive attitude. This time, the person he sent expressed well, clearly informing the victim’s parents that they would receive eight million in compensation and that Song Chaoqun would face the appropriate court sanction.

He even mobilized the group’s legal team, so no relatives dared to find connections to bail him out after that.

No one would help Song Chaoqun after Chen Pingsheng’s stance became so clear.

Previously, any help offered was only due to his familial ties.

Now withholding help was because Chen Pingsheng had defined the nature of the issue.

Fair and just, as always.

Compensate where needed, serve time where required; never would the group’s resources be used for illegal matters.

After the issue with Song Chaoqun was completely settled, the young ones in the family had to be cautious in their behavior, holding their tails between their legs even if nothing was said externally.

If one ends up like Song Chaoqun, there won’t be family protection to rely on; they would be held accountable first by the family.

After the matter concluded, his sister-in-law probably wouldn’t be visiting him for quite some time.

Liu Fen would probably be the same, since she single-handedly raised Song Chaoqun, and now seeing his current fate, what more could she say?

Parents who spoil their children are akin to killing them.

Song Wu had two children but didn’t take much care of them herself; they were mostly cared for by Liu Fen.

The doting nature of grandparents knows no bounds when pampering children.

The situation escalated to where they are now, and it can only be seen as a consequence of their own actions.

Song Chaoqun, who should have called him uncle, was now sent in there by him personally.

The years set are as many as they need be.

This serves as a warning for all members of the Chen Family, reminding them not to forget where they came from.

After handling this, he found a second job besides being a security guard.

It’s the same as before, still a chauffeur and also the president’s assistant.

Just helping the boss manage some small household matters, not too busy of a job.

He’s quite comfortable in this position now; if he loses this job, he might consider becoming a teacher.

In fact, his wife Song Yanxi has already gone into teaching.
