Chapter 288 The Opportunities Have Been Used Up

Han Xi knew she had already fallen for him, and if she couldn't control herself, she would only be led by the nose.

Shen Jiheng suppressed his smile and, as Han Xi requested, arranged for the entire technical department to help with the editing.

"The CTO just said it would be done in ten minutes. What's your next step?"

Han Xi was first surprised that it could be completed so quickly. Shen Jiheng had deliberately mentioned tomorrow, just to tease her.

“I found out that they have been transferred to the children’s hospital and I want to go and talk to them about this.”

"Then I'll go with you."

Han Xi scrutinized him and couldn't help but laugh, "With your aura, people will probably think I'm here to cause trouble. Besides, you've got Leng Yu with me, so nothing will go wrong."

Han Xi still hoped to resolve this peacefully, and also felt that there must be some reason why the other party did this.

Shen Jiheng smiled wryly and said, "According to you, is there anything wrong with my temperament? If they make things difficult for you, I can stand up for you."

Han Xi waved his hand repeatedly: "I appreciate your kindness, but you should go and attend to your own business."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Shen Jiheng shrugged helplessly.

"It would be your loss if you didn't let me go."

Han Xi made a face and left; she just didn't want to take up too much of Shen Jiheng's time.

Han Xi arrived at the children's hospital by car and saw the edited video on her phone. If she didn't know the situation, she would have suspected that she had a travel recorder in her hand.

As expected of Shenshi Technology, which is far ahead of the competition, it has such a high level of expertise.

Han Xi and Leng Yu found the ward where the passenger from yesterday had been staying and saw a young couple watching TV with their child.

Han Xi knocked on the door and said politely, "Excuse me for disturbing you, I am the lawyer of the taxi driver you took yesterday. I'm here to talk to you about something."

The couple became agitated upon hearing that the driver had even hired a lawyer.

"This bad driver actually dares to hire a lawyer. What is he trying to do? He refuses to provide proof and wants to sue us? You are not welcome here. Get out."

The man rushed forward angrily, trying to push Han Xi away, but Leng Yu grabbed his arm and pinned him against the wall, warning, "Be polite to my young lady, or I'll break your arm."

Han Xi beckoned for her to let go, but she hadn't expected the other person to react so strongly, which was beyond her expectations.

Han Xi asked, puzzled, "I'm very curious. This driver was trying to help you, so why does it seem like he's your enemy? Wasn't it because your child was injured and needed to go to the hospital that he ran the red light?"

To everyone's surprise, the man vehemently denied it: "That's not true, he caused the accident himself."

The woman chimed in, "Yes, we didn't let him do that. He did it on his own, and then he blamed us. Why should we pay for his actions?"

Han Xi couldn't help but find it laughable. Looking at the two men's fierce expressions and attitudes, and then at the child on the hospital bed, she couldn't help but say, "Do you two want to teach your child to lie like this in the future?"

The couple exchanged a glance, clearly flustered.

Han Xi said, "I'm not here because he wants to sue you, but because he was desperate and sought help from a doctor. You just need to provide proof to reveal the truth, and he can avoid punishment and won't be fired."

The man avoided Han Xi's gaze and said unhappily, "Anyway, there's nothing we can do to help with this."

Han Xi suppressed her anger and reasoned with him.

“Mr. Fang is busy making a living and supporting his whole family. Now he has been suspended from his job and his driver’s license has been confiscated because he helped you. You should know that even if he wants to find a new job, he will have to retake the test, which will take at least two months.”

The woman rolled her eyes and said dismissively, "What does that have to do with us?"

Han Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Because he was stupid enough to help you, and this is how you treat him, and you still say it's okay to give it to him? Are you even human?"

Han Xi never curses unless he has reached the point of no return.

The woman turned her head away and ignored her. From their reactions, Han Xi could tell how difficult it must have been for Mr. Fang to find them, and how many times he had been turned away.

Han Xi took a deep breath and asked, "So you still don't plan to help him, right?"

The two remained silent, prompting Han Xi to decide to punish the two villains.

She took out her phone and said, "We found the dashcam in the car, which recorded what happened. I'll show you a clip."

Han Xi turned on the video and increased the volume. It was thanks to her careful note-taking of Mr. Fang's words that they were reflected in the video.

The couple looked flustered, and the man tried to grab the phone but was glared at back by Leng Yu's sharp eyes.

To avoid revealing too much, Han Xi turned off the camera and said sternly, "If you haven't lost your memory, you should remember that it was you who repeatedly begged the driver to run the red light, and he only agreed because he was eager to save lives."

The two men were speechless, which proved that the driver was telling the truth.

"If you still refuse to admit it, then I will have no choice but to post this video online and let everyone help judge it. What do you think?"

"No!" the man exclaimed, unable to sit still.

The woman said nervously, "We didn't want this to happen either, but he asked us for a cleaning fee."

Han Xi frowned and said seriously, "Things have come to this point, you should honestly explain the situation clearly. Anyway, if things get out of hand, it won't be something you can handle."

The man rubbed his hair in frustration and said angrily, "Yes, you're right, we begged him to run the red light."

As expected, there was something else going on. Han Xi continued to press, "What about the cleaning fee your wife mentioned?"

“It was the driver’s fault. My child was bleeding a lot in the car and got the back seat dirty. He said it was difficult to clean and we had to pay for it. I refused, so he grabbed my wife.”

Hearing the criticism, Han Xi asked speechlessly, "They kindly took you to the hospital, and you dirtied the back seat, isn't it right for you to pay for cleaning?"

The man spoke frankly, as if he were in the right.

“He was just trying to extort money from me and take advantage of my wife. He grabbed my wife’s hand, but I pushed him away. How could I possibly help someone like that?”

If hitting someone wasn't illegal, Han Xi could beat him so badly he couldn't get up right now.

Because of this simple matter, the couple felt at ease, believing they hadn't done anything wrong.

Han Xi said, "So you think you're not wrong, is that it?"

The woman said aggrievedly, "What did we do wrong? He brought it on himself."

Han Xi took a deep breath and asked, "I'll ask you one last time, even now, are you still unwilling to provide Mr. Fang with a certificate?"

The man replied arrogantly, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Han Xi held up her phone and said, "Very well, now I am formally filing a lawsuit against you on behalf of my client, Mr. Fang. I have saved the recording of the call just now, and I will submit it to the court for the judge to decide."

Upon hearing this, the two panicked and said, "What's the big deal? What right does he have to sue us?"

Han Xiyi said righteously, "First of all, you falsely accused my client of running a red light, causing him to lose his job and suffer severe mental distress. I will pursue compensation of 500,000 yuan for mental distress."

Upon hearing the price, the couple's eyes widened in shock; this was blatant robbery.
