Sheng Ke wandered through the pet shop. Out of his professional instinct, his ears had been listening to the conversation. From time to time, he glanced at Zhang Zian through the corner of his eyes because he showed great interest in this martial arts master who appeared suddenly.

Xiao Yan was vigilant against him. ”Captain Sheng, I don't think eavesdropping was really good, wasn't it?

”Ms. Xiao, you can't say that! This was not eavesdropping; I simply heard it by accident,” Sheng Ke laughed.

”Oh, really? Congratulations, Captain Sheng, on your good hearing. You will not become deaf when you get older,” Xiao Yan said ironically.

Sheng Ke did not care, but laughed out loud again, picking at his ears with his little finger.

The two seemed have some conflicts before. Through Xiao Yan's entrepreneurial journey, she probably received a lot of grievances from the police. She could maintain peace from the outside, but inside her heart, her grudge was not so easy to completely erase.

”Captain Sheng, what's your opinion? Should I accept his compensation or not?” Zhang Zian asked. In fact, he already knew the answer, because Sheng Ke personally came to ask him.

Xiao Yan sighed and whispered, ”They are police and they love nothing more than conflict...”

Old Time Tea's ears moved a little and its beard trembled while it pretended to be asleep.

Sheng Ke approached him. ”Well, my personal opinion is that it is better to solve the conflict instead of making an enemy. Mr. Zhang, if you can accept the offer, that is great.” He paused, then said, ”Since you are pretty open to me, I will tell you whatever I want to say — because Stars Pet Chain Supermarket is involved, we've gotten a lot of pressure on this case.”

Zhang Zian understood, and so did Xiao Yan.

It was hard for Sheng Ke to deal with this case.

Chen Taitong's shop was just a franchise, but because of the pressure of going on the stock market, in order to maintain corporate image and prevent the attack of competitors, the incident would definitely be intervened, hoping to turn a big problem into a smaller one, or a smaller one into nothing. Stars Pet Chain Supermarket in the industry, of course, didn't have any real competitors that could compete with them, but standing on corporate levels, there were still some that didn't want it to expand endlessly.

Stars' marketing and legal departments had already gotten involved. This so-called involvement did not mean that they were coming to Binhai City, but instead were trying to connect to people in the provincial and ministerial levels, from top to bottom, to exert pressure.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan began to understand and stopped persuading Zhang Zian.

Zhang Zian did not want to continue to struggle with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket anymore as it would not benefit his shop at all. It would be better to solve the problem now.

So he simply replied, ”I understand. As long as the compensation is fair, I will forgive Chen Taitong.”

Captain Sheng's expression also relaxed a little, ”Mr. Zhang, you are very reasonable. I will remember your favor this time. In the future, if anything happens, in a reasonable legal range, I will try my best to help. Ok, then I will go back now... It may take a couple of days, but their lawyer will come and talk to you about compensation. So Mr. Zhang, please use these two days to make a list of damages, trying to be as accurate as possible...”

He swept at the damaged goods which were not completely cleaned up yet. ”It will save you a lot of time if you've kept the purchase documents, but as for other things, you can only estimate the prices... I guess their lawyer will not care about it too much. That's all. I am leaving now,” he said.

Zhang Zian was ready to send him out.
