Chapter 779: Don’t Be Too Happy
“Take responsibility? By running away after hitting the child? That’s escaping. That’s a crime! If they were willing to take responsibility, they wouldn’t have run away from the accident!” The woman said in a shrill voice.
“However, there are also rumors that Huang Yao has already sent people over to discuss compensation. It’s you who refused to communicate with them.”
“My daughter’s life is priceless. I’m not doing it for money. I’m telling you, I don’t want a single cent. I just want the person who hurt my daughter to pay the price and be punished by the law. So, I’ve already found a lawyer. I won’t let the person who hurt my daughter get away with it!”
The reporters heard the voice of the client and felt that she was a great mother.
She could give up anything as long as she sought justice for her child.
It was precisely because of this that the public’s hatred toward Huang Yao grew.
Why couldn’t a large enterprise shoulder the responsibility that was rightfully theirs to bear?
As this was the first time reporters were seeing this woman, they were deceived. However, the nurses in the hospital knew what the couple were really like.
Therefore, when they pa.s.sed by and heard the interview, they wanted to roll their eyes to the heavens.
Who didn’t want the little girl to live?
The people of Huang Yao had done everything they could, but what about this woman? She was bitter and mean. When she was supposed to be taking care of the child, she was nowhere to be seen. She was going on television and running faster than anyone else.
And because of this interview, the outside world was full of curses toward Huang Yao.
Because it involved children, many celebrities also came to partic.i.p.ate in the war of words and crusade against Huang Yao. They did not have the slightest bit of entrepreneurial spirit.
“I hereby swear that I will not accept any financial a.s.sistance. I only hope that the guilty will be punished. I hope that everyone can bear witness!”
What a strong and heroic mother.
This woman’s acting skills were indeed award-winning!
However, before the interview could end, a group of police officers appeared at the hospital corridor. In front of the cameras and the reporters, they directly walked to the woman and took out a warrant. “You are suspected to be involved in a murder case. Please come to the police station to cooperate with the investigation now.”
The reporters and the couple were stunned with the sudden turn of events.
“Officer, are you mistaken? Why are you arresting the victims and not the driver of the accident?”
“Don’t put on a show here. The police already have sufficient evidence. It will be released to the public later…” The leading officer ordered his subordinates to handcuff the couple.
This kind of situation caught the reporter by surprise. Therefore, before the police left with the people, the reporter hurriedly chased after them. “Officer, can you reveal more information? Why are the victim’s family members the ones who are arrested instead?”
“I’m sorry, we can’t reveal anything at the moment. The police will report it later. It’s not what you think. Please, reporter friends, investigate the facts before reporting anything. Don’t accuse the innocent!” After saying that, the police led the couple into the car and left.
The reporter was left with a helpless expression.
However, the interview still had to continue. Therefore, the reporter went to interview some doctors and nurses in the hospital. Some of the doctors said that they didn’t know anything, but a nurse who was looking after Jia Yu told the reporter, “Things are not like what that woman said. On the night of the girl’s accident, the person-in-charge of Huang Yao came over to offer his condolences. He brought the insurance commissioner and a lawyer to ask the girl’s family if they needed any help. It was that woman who was unwilling to communicate and kicked them out!”
“Of course, in that kind of situation, it’s understandable that she was angry. But the main point is that the child is terminally ill and is being treated in our hospital. She’s not allowed to leave the hospital in the first place. However, that woman had forcefully taken the child out. Now that the child is hurt, why isn’t she responsible for it?
“That woman kept saying that she did not accept any help from Huang Yao, but ever since the child was admitted to the hospital, it has always been Huang Yao that settled the accounts. There are records of the transactions. You can find out who is responsible for all the expenses. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who lies so blatantly!”
The nurse was very displeased with the way the couple acted.
The reporter’s expression was a little sour because she realized had almost teared up for the “great mother” just now. She did not expect that in just a few seconds, she would be slapped in the face with the truth.
“Also, they are not the child’s parents. The child’s parents died a long time ago. The couple are her uncle and aunt.”
“So they are not her biological parents.”
“Indeed, they’re not.” The young nurse was young and stubborn. She had a hint of hatred for evil. Had a senior been interviewed instead, he or she would have definitely kept his or her mouth sealed for fear of being held accountable by the hospital.
This young nurse was not afraid. There had to be someone who dared to speak the truth in this world.
However, no one knew why the victim’s family members were taken away by the police during the interview.
This incident was originally seen as the fault of Huang Yao. However, now that the victim’s family members were taken away, the case suddenly became confusing.
Finally, the reporter summarized the interview. “From the information we’ve gathered so far, there seems to be a reversal of the situation. We’ve also interviewed the traffic police in charge. The police told us that because it was a hit-and-run, the accident certificate will be released within ten working days. However, why the victim’s family was taken away by the police is still an unanswered question. Thankfully, the police have already indicated that they will release the progress of the case as soon as possible. What we can do now is wait…”
Then, the scene in the news changed.
Old Master Sheng looked at Sheng Bowen and then at Mu Qiqi. What was going on?
“You… didn’t give me an answer?”
Sheng Bowen also looked at Mu Qiqi and Sheng Xiao. He knew nothing about this. At that time, he had been a.s.signed to work with the lawyer and leave the rest to Mu Qiqi. He didn’t expect the matter to be settled so quickly.
“Qiqi, what exactly is going on?” Sheng Bowen also asked Mu Qiqi.
“Exactly… what you saw.” Mu Qiqi smiled. “I just ran errands and collected some evidence. Xiao Xiao used his brain and got the most important material evidence. That couple deliberately kept you on your toes like that for a few days just to frame you. They were trying to extort money and trying to get rid of the burden at the same time. They’re inhumane.”
“I see.” Sheng Bowen nodded, then pointed at himself and said, “Seems like I’ll be working for the two of you for the rest of my life!”
“Don’t be happy too early. Although the couple has been caught, the fact that you ran from the accident can’t be washed away. Xiao Xiao said that he has already found an authoritative lawyer in this area for you. When the time comes, you still have a tough battle to fight.”
“What should I be afraid of with you guys around? Even if there’s really nothing you can do to save me, I’ll accept it…”
“Ptooey! Like what my descendants said?” The old man spat.
“Grandpa, I’m just expressing that I have no regrets…”
“With Xiao Xiao around, I won’t let you go to jail!”
“You know me very well.” Sheng Xiao stood at the side and looked at Mu Qiqi. “You dare to declare such high expectations for me.”
