1260 Taking the Chance to Extort
w.a.n.g Yunzhong could tell that Li Xia was not lying, and this kind of thing did not allow her to lie. However, it was already the agreed time, so they could not argue about money anymore.
Last time, four people came together. This time, it was still the four of them.
In the hospital lobby, Officer w.a.n.g had already arrived. As soon as w.a.n.g Yunzhong and the rest appeared, he quickly walked up to them.
“Officer w.a.n.g.”
As soon as they met, w.a.n.g Yunzhong greeted him.
!!Officer w.a.n.g nodded and held a doc.u.ment in his hand. He swept his gaze across the four people’s faces and saw that Li Xia seemed to have just cried, but he didn’t ask further. He only slowly said, “w.a.n.g Dapeng is already awake. Let’s go up together later. The process of reconciliation in private isn’t complicated. The most important thing is that both sides can reach a consensus.”
“When the time comes, don’t comment at once. Just send one person to discuss it. Because in the past, we’ve encountered cases where many people disagreed and eventually angered the other party, causing the mediation to fail.”
“Alright, I understand.” w.a.n.g Yunzhong quickly nodded. “I’ll talk.”
“Yes, yes. My elder son will talk about it,” the old lady quickly chimed in.
Officer w.a.n.g nodded slightly when he heard that. In the end, he instructed, “Your att.i.tude must be sincere. If there’s anything unreasonable, don’t be in a hurry to refute it. I’m still here. It’s better for me to say some things.”
Officer w.a.n.g had done his best in this matter. He did not forget to help them at the last moment. He probably saw that Li Xia was quite pitiful and did not want w.a.n.g Yunfa to go to jail before the child was born because of such a small mistake.
After discussing everything, they followed Officer w.a.n.g upstairs.
In the ward, it was still w.a.n.g Dapeng and his wife, Liu Meili. However, compared to the last time they came, there were a few fruit baskets on the table. It was obvious that someone had come to visit.
w.a.n.g Dapeng was already awake. Although the bandage on his head had not been removed, he looked quite energetic.
Moreover, Officer w.a.n.g had specially asked w.a.n.g Dapeng’s doctor-in-charge. His injuries were not serious, but the blow had caused him a concussion. This was the key to the sentencing.
Whether a concussion affected people differed from person to person. It did not cause too serious consequences to many people. Some people even had light brain damage in the beginning and had some obvious symptoms, but they would recover after recuperating in bed for a while.
However, the aftereffects of a concussion could be permanent and happen intermittently in the days to come. In the end, it would not affect one’s life. However, there were many uncontrollable factors, so it was a very troublesome problem. The compensation amount for this settlement had to be discussed around this.
After knocking and entering the ward, the two sides met. w.a.n.g Yunzhong first smiled and greeted the other party.
w.a.n.g Dapeng’s lover also greeted them. Her att.i.tude was much better than the first time they met. It seemed that Officer w.a.n.g had done his job well, and w.a.n.g Yunzhong couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Among them, only the old lady knew w.a.n.g Dapeng. She couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Dapeng, how are you? Does your head still hurt?”
w.a.n.g Dapeng lay on the hospital bed and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Aunt, sit.”
Although he did not deliberately make things difficult for her, w.a.n.g Dapeng’s tone was cold. The old lady’s smile froze, and she nodded.
Officer w.a.n.g said, “Since everyone is here, why don’t we start?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Officer w.a.n.g’s gaze landed on w.a.n.g Yunzhong. Seeing this, w.a.n.g Yunzhong quickly nodded and said to show his sincerity, “Brother w.a.n.g, I’m w.a.n.g Yunfa’s brother. I came once last time. Sister-in-law has seen me.”
“I apologize on behalf of my brother and our family for the harm Yunfa impulsively caused you and your family. I’m sorry!”
As soon as he finished speaking, w.a.n.g Yunzhong lowered his head slightly. His att.i.tude was quite sincere, but even someone as arrogant as him couldn’t easily bend down.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong was a mercenary. He would willingly put down his face if there were benefits to be gained, such as flattery towards Jian Ai’s family.
However, there were no benefits. No matter how nicely he said it, he could not lower his head psychologically, let alone w.a.n.g Yunfa.
It was already his limit to do this for w.a.n.g Yunfa. He even bowed to others.
Fortunately, w.a.n.g Dapeng and his wife were not particular people. It was enough for them to hear w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s words. They did not want the other party to bow and kneel.
w.a.n.g Dapeng immediately looked at w.a.n.g Yunzhong. It was the same feeling Liu Meili had when she looked at w.a.n.g Yunzhong back then. At first glance, he could tell that w.a.n.g Yunzhong was rich.
“I accept your apology, so I accepted a private reconciliation,” w.a.n.g Dapeng said slowly.
“Even so, how much do we have to compensate you before you’re willing to close the case?” w.a.n.g Yunzhong asked.
Getting straight to the point was the best solution. Neither party was in the mood to ask about the other’s well-being or talk nonsense. They had to quickly resolve the compensation matter and this matter would be over.
When everyone heard this, they looked up at w.a.n.g Dapeng and his wife.
w.a.n.g Dapeng’s wife turned around and looked at w.a.n.g Dapeng. Their gazes met, and it was obvious that something was going on. It was obvious that the two of them had discussed it before.
w.a.n.g Dapeng nodded at Liu Meili, indicating for his wife to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Meili couldn’t help but take a deep breath. However, when she thought about how they were victims, she became more confident. She looked up into w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s eyes and said, “Three hundred thousand yuan and we’ll agree to a reconciliation!”
Three hundred thousand yuan!
When she said this, w.a.n.g Yunzhong and the rest, including Officer w.a.n.g, were stunned.
Not only them, but even Liu Meili’s heart thumped uncontrollably when she said this. It was obvious that they knew that three hundred thousand yuan was a little too much.
However, she had no choice. There was only this one chance. w.a.n.g Dapeng had considered it. Since the other party wanted to save someone, he would fork out money.
Three hundred thousand yuan was a little too much, but w.a.n.g Dapeng was also betting on whether the other party will take out this money for w.a.n.g Yunfa.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to extort them.
Without waiting for w.a.n.g Yunzhong to comment on this price, Officer w.a.n.g was the first to speak. “Madam Liu, I understand that you victims need compensation and spiritual comfort, but for a compensation amount of three hundred thousand yuan, it has to reach the level of serious injuries in terms of the sentencing in a criminal case. Your settlement amount is too unreasonable!”
