One of the older middle-aged women stepped forward, looking at Chi Enen with skeptical eyes and questioning her sharply, "Is an apology effective? Our family member is still in the hospital under emergency care, and you think a simple ’sorry’ will suffice?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold gaze fall upon her, sending chills down her spine. Instinctively, she looked in the direction of the gaze.

The man who had come with them stood there, proud and dignified. It was this man’s fierce and chilling gaze that had scared her, sharp and intimidating!

Her arrogant demeanor was immediately diminished significantly, but faced with so many people, she couldn’t show her intimidated side, so she forced herself to stand firm in the front.

With her words as a cue, others chimed in, "Exactly, can ’sorry’ make my husband leave the hospital? Can ’sorry’ make it as if nothing ever happened?"

"Your shopping center has caused such a big incident, and a simple ’sorry’ isn’t enough. We don’t accept your apology unless you can make my daughter leave with me now as if nothing happened."

Shit! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Li Beijue frowned.

He was just about to step forward.

His action had already been noticed by Chi Enen, who quickly grabbed his hand, shook her head at him, and gave him a pleading look.

Li Beijue’s broad back stiffened, his actions halted, his handsome face turned grim, but he didn’t impulsively step forward anymore.

Chi Enen waited until they finished speaking and no one continued to accuse her, then calmly looked at everyone and said, "Listen to me, everyone. The incident has already happened; I cannot turn back time, nor do I have the ability to turn back time. So, I cannot make your family members leave the hospital as if nothing happened immediately. But since I’m here today, I will definitely be responsible for this accident."

"How will you take responsibility?!" someone stepped forward and sharply questioned.

Chi Enen didn’t shrink back from being surrounded by so many people and responded with confidence and sincerity, "First, the medical expenses for each injured person will definitely be covered by our company. After everyone recovers, we will provide compensation based on circumstances, including loss of work, nutrition fees, mental damage, etc. Subsequently, we would provide free psychological support to ensure the impact of this accident is minimized for each injured party. I know that my promises now cannot change the fact that they were injured due to the company’s negligence, but I will strive to give you all a satisfactory response."

In fact, except for the person fatally injured due to the construction accident, the rest were injured due to the stampede. At that time, although there were many injuries in the city center, most were minor injuries like fractures. Chi Enen was sincere in her attitude and indicated plans for subsequent compensation, which made most people surrounding her accept the outcome.

Even though the Ryan Public Relations Department had already mentioned these things to them, it was evidently more convincing coming from Chi Enen, the company representative.

Nevertheless, they still surrounded Chi Enen without showing intent to let her leave, remaining somewhat hesitant.

Chi Enen noticed their emotions gradually stabilizing and continued to say, "Does anyone have a mobile phone they can lend me?"

The middle-aged woman who first questioned Chi Enen said, "I have one."

She found her mobile phone and handed it to Chi Enen.
