The tall man was instantly beaten up by the group. His handsome face turned red and white, and he was at a loss. The short man was even more proud and said, "Beat me to death. If you have the guts, beat me to death right here."

The bank security guards joined in the fight, finally separating the two men. A woman in her forties said, "Young man, he's lost his sister, and you're still arguing over a small amount of money? Just give him the money for his sake. You guys make money fast anyway, so why are you getting yourself into such a mess?"

The woman's words were agreed by almost everyone. The tall man pointed at the short man and said anxiously, "He doesn't just want a little, he wants 30 million." After hearing this number, the originally noisy bank hall suddenly fell silent.

The short man rolled his eyes and said, "Is 30 million a lot for a life? Otherwise, I'll kill you and give you 30 million, will you do it?"

"Don't say those angry words. Let's talk it over properly. It's not appropriate for us outsiders to get involved in your compensation matters. But if you really want to solve the problem, the price should be realistic. Otherwise, even if you take the case to court, the final judgment may not be what you want." The old man who had been trying to mediate continued to do so.

"My sister just lost her life. How much do you think a human life is worth?" The dwarf asked the old man with a glare and a nose blowing.

"This is your family affair, how can I say anything?"

"Then don't say anything. This has nothing to do with you." At this point, anyone with a sense of right and wrong could see that the short man was using his sister's matter to blackmail the tall man. Although he was also a victim, he was definitely not seeking justice for his sister.

No one was talking anymore, so the tall guy took the opportunity to say, "His sister and I were college classmates. We weren't in an abnormal relationship as everyone thinks, but lovers. We dated for three years, and all my classmates can attest to that. I'm the one who's most saddened by Tingting's death . It was an absolute accident. She was the person I loved most besides my parents, and I wouldn't hurt her even if I died."

"Then tell me how this girl died?" someone asked loudly.

"I can't explain the reason at all. We were celebrating Tingting's birthday on the day of the accident, and I even prepared a wedding ring to propose to her. We went to Longmuting Park that day, and I kept it a secret from her where I placed a big heart made of 999 roses. She was very happy when she saw it, but for some reason, the area where the heart was placed suddenly collapsed, and a stream of mud gushed out. Tingting disappeared in an instant. I was terrified and wanted to rescue her, but her body immediately floated up and turned into a mummy in a very short time. Even if I wanted to kill Tingting, could I turn a girl who was so full of life the day before into a mummy?"

After hearing the strange story of the girl's death, most people showed doubt on their faces, but the short one did not refute this seemingly absurd statement, which showed that he approved of Tingting's death process and the tall one was not talking nonsense.

At this time, someone else asked, "Where is there a Longmuting Park in Shanghai? I've never heard of it."

"Not many people know about it because the park has long been closed. It's located in the middle of a large container warehouse area at Wusongkou."

"What kind of nonsense is this? The park is in the warehouse area?" someone expressed doubt.

"If it was in a normal place, the old Shanghainese might not know about it?" the tall man asked anxiously.

"Yes, everyone heard it, right? He actually took a girl to such an empty, deserted wasteland. That's malicious. Even if he didn't kill my sister himself, people like him should still bear the primary responsibility."

"Don't talk nonsense. Tingting took me to Longmuting Park. I didn't even know there was such a place in the city before."

"You're the one talking nonsense. My sister is a very good and obedient girl. How could she take you to a place like that? How could she possibly know about such a place?"

"Tingting is one of the founders of the Unknown Corner, our university's most famous student organization. The Unknown Corner exists to explore unknown areas of the city. I met Tingting and later became her lover because I sponsored this organization. Long Muting was the first uninhabited area in the city that Tingting discovered, so I proposed to her there. This was also the suggestion of the Unknown Corner organization. All the students here are witnesses to our love and also witnesses to Tingting's accidental death."

"You...you want to evade responsibility."

"I never thought of shirking responsibility. After Tingting's accident, I immediately contacted your family to handle the aftermath and promised to cover the funeral expenses. I also agreed to compensate your family one million out of humanitarian considerations. You suddenly changed your mind and asked for another 30 million after signing the contract. I can't afford this price. I also told you that if you think it's unreasonable, you can sue me. Even if the court awards me 300 million, I will give you every penny."

"Everyone knows that your family owns the court. Was your father arrested for the forced demolition that resulted in five deaths? Was your company shut down? Aren't you still running a prosperous business?"

As soon as these words were spoken, people's hearts, which were already wavering, immediately turned to the short man again. However, this time, everyone was not blaming the tall man, but his father, and the topic was forcibly changed to the forced demolition incident.

Seeing that chaos was about to break out again, the bank's lobby manager stepped out to coordinate and asked the two to go outside to solve the problem, but the short one refused to do it, and it was clear that he was determined to get away with it.

At first I thought this matter had nothing to do with me, but then I thought that the rich second generation had not yet dealt with his girlfriend's funeral. If I took this opportunity to have a good talk with him, maybe I could get a big business.

So I walked over to the two people who were arguing and said, "Can I get a word in?"

The dwarf glanced at me and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm just a bystander at best. Brother, let me be honest. You're wasting your time negotiating compensation terms with others in this way. They're in the right."

"He killed my sister. Didn't you hear? If you don't understand the situation, don't meddle in other people's business."

"If you really think you're in the right, why don't you sue for compensation? The best way to resolve the problem is through legal means."

"Yes, if you want 30 million, please sue me. I will give you every cent of the court's award."

"You two are the same." The dwarf's face turned blue with anger.

"I don't really know him, but your behavior has disrupted the bank's order. I need the money urgently, so how long do you plan to continue this?"

My words were supported by many people, and everyone asked the two men to go out and solve the problem. The dwarf said to me angrily: "Don't think I'm a fool. This matter is not over today. You just wait." After that, he turned and left.

The tall man nodded at me with gratitude. I said, "Tingting and her brother are two completely different people, right?"

"She is different from all her family members. This family is too greedy. They actually used their daughter's death as a tool to make money. It really overturned my understanding of human nature." The handsome guy spoke in a gentle and polite manner, which gave me a good impression of him.

"Thank you for your help. If it weren't for you today, I really don't know what I would do."

"We can definitely negotiate the amount of compensation. The most important thing now is Tingting's funeral. Her death was already extremely unfortunate. Are we really going to just leave her body hanging?"

"Well, of course I hope Tingting can be buried in peace as soon as possible, but their family will never agree, so there's nothing I can do."

"This family is really cruel," I said.

"There are some lies I don't want to reveal. I heard from a classmate that she once heard Auntie and Tingting arguing at Tingting's house. The reason was that Auntie thought my family was rich and the bride price should be as high as possible, but Tingting disagreed, so the mother and daughter had a very unhappy quarrel over this matter. Her family are all particularly greedy and poor."

At this point he realized he had said the wrong thing and said, "I don't mean to belittle the poor, it's just that Tingting's parents and brother are really going too far."

"I understand." I thought for a moment and said, "If I can persuade this family to change their minds, can I take care of Tingting's funeral arrangements?"

"You, you have this ability?"

"I can't guarantee it, but just give it a try. It won't get any worse for you anyway."

"Okay, I'm not worried about the money. I have no concept of money. I'm worried about Tingting. If you can convince her parents to cover the normal funeral expenses, I'll give you another 100,000... no, 200,000 as a reward for your hard work."
