Jeon Jeongguk had agreed to the private settlement, but Jeon Lecheng was still being detained for assaulting a police officer.

When Jeon Lecheng left the police station, Jeon Jingwu's lawyer, the second uncle of the Jeon family, hurried in holding his briefcase. Jeon Jeongguk only glanced at him briefly before looking away. What would happen afterwards was none of his concern.

The executives had arranged for a car to take them back to the mall and waived all of Jeon Jeongguk's purchases today at the mall as compensation. They also gifted him with half-price discounts on all purchases in the mall for the next six months. He received a refund message halfway through the trip, and was quite satisfied with the efficiency.

However, judging from Jeon Lecheng's behavior today, this was clearly not the first time he had done something like this. With the status of being the second young master of the Jeon family, even if the mall had rules in place, the staff could only acquiesce to his antics.

Using his newly registered phone number, Jeon Jeongguk sent Fu Mingyu a message briefly explaining what had happened with Jeon Lecheng wreaking havoc in the mall today. He then instructed Fu Mingyu to issue a notice to all major malls, ordering them to rectify this and prevent similar incidents from happening again, or their partnerships would be terminated immediately.

Inside the Jeon Corporation office building, Fu Mingyu had just received the report about today's debacle from the management department and looked towards the tightly shut curtains of the CEO's office in shock.

How did the boss find out about this when he hadn't even reported it yet?!

The boss who seemed omnipotent in the company must have spies!

As expected of the man who rose to power in just half a year! This made him even more eager to work hard for the boss! He must not let that unseen spy steal the boss's trust in him!

Fu Mingyu hurried off to issue the notice.

After this commotion, Jeon Jeongguk had lost his appetite for shopping. Upon arriving at the mall, he took Kim You straight home. The mall staff followed them and delivered piles of exquisite packages to their doorstep. Seeing the small mountain of elegant wrappings at the doorstep made the socially awkward Kim's  father even more silent.

This was also Jeon Jeongguk's first time giving gifts to his family, and he hesitated over how to take out the presents for Kim's parents. Kim's  father, who had been hiding to the side, suddenly asked, "What happened to your neck?"

The marks left by Jeon Lecheng's choking were still visible. Before Jeon Jeongguk could reply, Kim You immediately started tattling, "Dad, we met bad people today, and they even hit big sister!"

The usually taciturn and honest Kim's  father changed his expression. The peaceful man who had never been in a conflict in his life turned ashen with anger, his voice low and oppressive, "Who was it? Did you call the police?"

That feeling was like a great tree extending its branches to shelter the sapling, willing to fight tooth and nail even if it meant being uprooted. Jeon Jeongguk was used to dealing with everything himself all these years, but this sudden fatherly love wrapped around him, stirring up uncontrollable emotions in his heart.

When Jeon Jeongguk didn't respond, Kim's  father's face tensed as he reached to grab his wrist.

Jeon Jeongguk still wasn't used to physical contact and dodged it in time, murmuring in a low voice, "I called the police."

Kim's father said, "Go get checked out at the hospital."

"I'm fine," he moved his throat again as he uttered in an almost inaudible voice, "Dad, I'm fine."
