When Zhuang Nainai saw him, she was boiling with rage instantly.
Her mother was lying in the hospital and this person still had the audacity to smile!
Zhuang Nainai wished she could rush forward and beat him into a pulp!
However, she couldn’t.
Zhuang Nainai inhaled deeply and took huge steps forward.
The police officer sat there and explained to Zhuang Nainai, “This driver came to the police station today and turned himself in. From the traffic recordings, it is evident that it was his car that hit your mother.”
The driver nodded, “Yes, it was me. I’m so sorry!”
His casual tone made Zhuang Nainai raise her brows again.
She looked at the police officer. “Then, how is this matter going to be handled?”
The police officer glanced at the driver, “The driver is completely liable for the accident yesterday. Article 133 of the ‘Criminal Law’ states: Whoever violates the traffic flow management legislation, thus causing a major accident, serious injuries, death, or significant losses to private and public properties, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or detention. A hit-and-run offender or an offender exhibiting poor behavior shall be sentenced to no less than three years and no more than seven years of imprisonment. Whoever causes death due to hit-and-run shall be sentenced to more than seven years of imprisonment.”
After the police officer finished speaking, he explained, “The convict turned himself in today and said that he had been driving continuously for six hours that day. Hence, he had run over your mother while driving due to fatigue.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded. “I don’t care about how long his sentence is. I just want him to know that he has to pay for the rest of Mother’s medical bills!”
Upon saying this, her eyes turned red.
The police officer said immediately, “Young lady, don’t cry. He should pay for the medical bills, but…”
Zhuang Nainai was taken aback. “But what?”
The convicted driver yelled, “You won’t get any money, but you can take my life!”
Immediately, the police officer slapped the back of his head, causing the driver to lower his head obediently. The police officer sighed. “He’s an infamous hooligan in our area. He is an orphan, so he had no financial support from his family. He doesn’t even own any fixed a.s.set. His rental car belongs to the company, and it has been confiscated due to the accident. We helped you check the worth of his entire family a.s.set and it’s only worth… $5000.”
$5000?
$5000 was not even enough to pay for the hospitalization fees!
Zhuang Nainai panicked immediately. “What do we do now? My mother needs $300,000 for her surgery!”
The culprit bellowed again, “$300,000! How is that woman’s life worth $300,000? F*ck! This is daylight robbery!” He continued, “Anyway, just know that you won’t get any money, but you can take my life!”
The police officer pressed the culprit’s shoulders with much force and reprimanded, “Shut up! Why are you still so brazen after hitting a person?!”
The driver was terrified of the police officer, so he shut his mouth disgruntledly.
Moments later, the police officer provided Zhuang Nainai with a lengthy explanation and the rough message was that they were at a dead end too.
The culprit had been caught and he must serve his prison sentence. However, his entire family a.s.set only amounted to $5000, and that sum of money was absolutely of no help to Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai understood what the police officer meant. Clenching her fists, she said to the police officer investigating the incident smilingly soon after, “Thank you, police uncle.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed to the compa.s.sionate police officer. After all, without him, Mother Zhuang would not have been able to be sent to hospital in time.
The moment she looked up, her eyes were filled with vicious energy. Suddenly, she picked up her bag and slammed it on the culprit’s head fiercely!
“You are the one who deserves to die. You owe this to me and my mother.”
The bag contained books with sharp corners, and Zhuang Nainai’s strike caused the culprit’s head to bleed.
The police officers empathized with her, so they only issued her a warning and no further actions.
As Zhuang Nainai stood at the entrance of the police station, she felt extremely dejected.
Unknowingly, she picked up her phone again to try to call Si Zhengting. This time, the call was answered, but the person on the other end was Ding Mengya. “Stop calling.”
When she had finished speaking, she wanted to hang up the call. However, Zhuang Nainai said hurriedly, “Wait…”
