The crowd dispersed one by one, and the houses that had been burned were sprayed with water and filled with steam.

The residents who had their houses burnt went to the police station. The one who suffered the most was the first family. They basically didn't have enough time to rescue the rest of the family.

"Uncle, the lucky thing is that you survived. Rest assured!" Xu Taiping and Tu comforted him as they walked in the direction of the police station.

"Sigh!" "It's indeed fortunate." Ah Tu sighed and said, "If a few people were burned to death, how would I have the face to continue staying in our town?"

The two of them quickly arrived at the police station.

There were about twenty people gathered in the police station, all victims of the fire.

"In any case, whoever burns our house will have to pay. It's the new year and our house is on fire. We are provoking that person!"

"That's right. Don't even think about getting better this year, aiya!"

The crowd stood in the courtyard outside the police station and discussed amongst themselves.

"Everyone, don't worry. We've already switched to the surveillance videos. Coincidentally, there's a monitor over there. Take a look at the monitor and you'll be able to determine who's on fire very quickly!" Zhou Jun said to the crowd.

However, reality was destined to disappoint Ah Tu. Not long after, Zhou Jun brought news that Little Mo and the others had set off fireworks and ignited the top floor of the first house, causing this fire.

Xu Taiping and Tu both watched the video, which clearly recorded how fireworks fell on the roof and started a fire.

In other words, the fire this time was really caused by Little Mo setting off fireworks.

Little Mo couldn't shake this pot even if he wanted to.

"Ah Tu, it's up to you. Although we're all from the same village, your son burned my family down. You can't go back on your words!"

"Yes, Ah Tu, we are still in a good relationship. I won't argue with you if it's just a small matter. However, I have no choice but to deal with your boy on the matter of this house!"

The surrounding people all said to Tu.

"Everything happened because of my son. Our family will compensate whatever money is due to him!" Ah Tu said seriously.

"Ah Tu, do you have any money to pay for it?" someone asked.

"After all these years, our family still has some backing. At worst, we'll just sell our house and make sure to get compensation in place. Everyone, rest assured!" Tu said.

Xu Taiping stood beside Ah Tu, but he did not say anything, because this matter was caused by Ah Tu's son, Xiaomo. If they burned someone's house, they would lose money.

"Uncle Tu, I'll go ask Zhou Jun how to handle this matter." Xu Taiping said to Tu in a low voice.

"Alright, then I'll be troubling you!" Ah Tu said gratefully. At this moment, Ah Tu looked more than ten years older than when Xu Taiping had first met him.

Xu Taiping walked into the police station and found Zhou Jun.

"For this matter, just losing money is enough. If you have enough money, you shouldn't need to go to jail." Zhou Jun explained the situation to Xu Taiping.

"How much does it cost?" Xu Taiping asked.

There's no way to calculate, because people's house is not empty, it's not like there's just a house. However, for rural people, there's definitely not much valuable things in their house. It's enough to pay three hundred thousand for one house. Zhou Jun said.

"Over a million, that much?!" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Four two-story buildings. The building area is at least two to three hundred square meters. One square meter doesn't count as a lot, right?" Zhou Jun asked.

"And if we don't lose money?" Xu Taiping asked.

If you don't want to compensate for the money, that's easy, hand it over to the court and Little Mo will definitely go to jail, but because Little Mo is already 18 years old and is an adult, so even if the money is decided by the court, Little Mo will compensate for it, it has nothing to do with his father, but if that's the case, then his family won't be able to stay in Crimson Flame Town and would be despised by everyone. Actually, peace, this matter is more about coordinating in private. I think it's better for you to be the mediator! " Zhou Jun said.

"What do you mean?" Xu Taiping asked.

"You just saved them and then prevented the fire from spreading. Now, everyone gives you a thumbs up, so if you go say it, everyone might listen to you and take care of this matter a little! As long as you are willing to settle this matter privately, then our station will not meddle in this matter. " Zhou Jun said.

"I understand!" Xu Taiping nodded, then turned and left.

"Taiping, you need to find someone to discuss the matter with Zhiyun. Since her house has been demolished by you, you have no idea where she's going to stay. It's not like you don't know that our place is extremely cold at night." Zhou Jun said.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, "Speaking of which, there's something I need to trouble you with."

"Whatever it is." Zhou Jun said.

"I don't have her contact information. If you can, help me contact her. It's fine for her to come here, or go to my place. Anyway, let her find me for a bit." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright, I'll contact him for you!" Zhou Jun nodded and said.

"Many thanks!" Xu Taiping nodded, then turned and left.

At the entrance of the police station, many people had already started writing down their losses.

The losses were actually quite easy to calculate. It was the loss of the house as well as the property in the house.

Xu Taiping walked up to Tuo and said, "Zhou Jun said that if we settle this in private, we can avoid legal proceedings and compensate him. If you don't settle the matter privately and you insist on not paying, Little Mo will go to jail. "

"We definitely have to settle this in private!" Ah Tu said, "My family's Little Mo is still a university student, if he goes to jail, then his future will be ruined!"

"Zhou Jun said that it would probably cost more than a million yuan." Xu Taiping said.

"Over a million? So many?! " Ah Tu asked with an ugly face.

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll pay for this." Xu Taiping said.

"No, no, no!" Tuo shook his head and said, "How can I take your money? This is my son's fault, so we have to deal with it ourselves!"

"Uncle, you've always helped me a lot when I was young. If not for your help, I might have gone to work a long time ago, and I'm sure that I would have failed in university, not to mention my current achievements, so repaying you is what I should do. As the saying goes, if you insist on refusing my kindness, then it's not a good thing for me either." Xu Taiping said seriously.

"No." Tu shook his head, "I still have a few hundred thousand in my house. I saved it all these years, so if I sell all these houses, I can sell them for three to four hundred thousand. I will make more money later and return them slowly." You must not take your money. "

"Uncle, just take it as me lending you my money!" Xu Taiping looked at the stubborn Ah Tu and said helplessly.

"Then I can't pay it back either!" Tu said.

"You will pay me back slowly. After Little Mo graduates, I will definitely pay you back!" Think about it, who wants you to pay in instalments? If it's the new year, who wouldn't want to earn a large sum of money? At the very least, it should be able to let this year go by in peace, right? " Xu Taiping didn't say.

There were not many people here that would be willing to let him pay in instalments. If he went to borrow money, he wouldn't be able to do so, especially not with usury. There was no way usury would lend money to someone like him.

"Then it's settled!" Xu Taiping patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll take care of this money!"

Just as Xu Taiping finished his sentence, Little Mo and a few of his classmates walked out of the police station.

As soon as his classmates left the police station, they quickly distanced themselves from Little Mo.

Little Mo looked at them in despair. He didn't expect his so-called good friend from before to end up like this.

"Dad!" Little Mo looked at his father, his eyes turning red.

"What are you crying for? If nothing happens, you will never know what a true friend is. You are still young, you can still grow up, and just treat it as teaching yourself a lesson. As the old saying goes, falling is nothing, just stand up! " Ao Tu said loudly.

Little Mo sobbed as she walked in front of Tu, saying, "Dad, it's all my fault. I caused trouble for our family."

"Remember, don't treat everyone as your best friend in the future! Do you understand? " Ah Tu asked.

"I know, Dad, are we going to lose a lot of money?" Little Mo asked.

"A lot." Ah Tu nodded. Xu Taiping was about to say something, but Ah Tu gave him a look, and Xu Taiping immediately shut his mouth.

"How much is it?" Little Mo asked.

"I heard that it's worth more than a million!" Tu said.

"Over a million yuan?!" Little Mo asked in shock, "That much money? Where did we get so much money! "

"Selling houses and shops. In short, I'll definitely help you collect the money. We'll return a portion of it first. When you graduate, can you pay it back together with me?" Ah Tu asked.

"Dad, how about I come out now to work. This way, you can at least save some money." Little Mo said.

"Have you thought about it? Didn't you always want to be a doctor? "If you don't study now, you'll only have to work hard!" Tu said.

"I'll take the hard labor as well. Our family will have to return the money first!" Little Mo said.

"Alright, my Little Mo has grown up!" Ah Tu patted Little Mo's shoulder, then pointed at the few Little Mo classmates and said, "Let them help to repay some of it!"

"We don't have any money, and we didn't release the fireworks. It's impossible for us to lose money!" Shu Ting hurriedly said.

"Right, right, that's impossible!" The surrounding people also shook their heads.

"Then can you lend me some money?" Little Mo asked.

"No money!"

"Our family isn't rich!" Everyone said.

"Alright, I understand." Little Mo shook his head helplessly, looked at Tu and said, "Dad, we still have to rely on ourselves!"

"It's alright son, we have to rely on ourselves, but now, we still have someone who can help us!" Ah Tu looked at Xu Taiping as he spoke, "Tai Ping, I'll have to trouble you on this matter!"

"Leave it to me!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

Little Mo looked at Xu Taiping in surprise, he didn't know what this man could do for their family. From the way this man was dressed, he didn't seem like a rich man.
