The police officer on the scene had initially intended to mediate on the spot.
Both parties appeared to be unhurt.
One was scalded, the other was slapped; it couldn't be anything serious. Could a slap really cause such damage? He was not buying it! Taking everyone back to the station would be a hassle and add to their workload.
However, Li Jianguo insisted on compensation.
He would not back down until he was compensated.
He was being completely obstinate.
Zhu Rui, although realizing that something was amiss, was not one to let himself be taken advantage of. He resolutely refused to compensate, even clamoring to go to the hospital for an examination. Both sides were at an impasse, neither willing to back down.
Seeing that mediation was ineffective.
And the incessant squabbling was truly vexing.
He thought about bringing them all back to the station.
To give them a good lesson.
In the car.
