Pang Zhengming was not surprised by Jiang Tianming's reaction.
He simply said, "Mr. Jiang, there are standards for forensic identification. Whether you accept it or not, that's the fact!"
Jiang Tianming gritted his teeth in anger, "What bullshit facts? I don't accept them! Stop trying to fool me! We'll see how the judge rules!"
Pang Zhengming shook his head. "Mr. Jiang, I'm actually doing this for your own good! Personally, I sympathize with Ms. Jiang's situation, but the law doesn't care about feelings, and judges only speak based on facts. Sun Xiaolei has now been assessed as having a moderate disability, so this isn't just a simple assault; it's actually a mutual fight!"
"I've seen far too many cases like this. In criminal law, there are generally two standards for determining liability in mutual fights: First, it is determined according to the severity of the injury caused to others and the injury to oneself. Second, it is determined which party started the fight; the party who started the fight bears greater responsibility, and the party who started the fight later bears less responsibility."
“In this case, Sun Xiaolei’s injuries were more serious than your daughter’s. Also, it seems that your daughter hit Sun Xiaolei on the head with the bottle first! So, from any perspective, your daughter bears more responsibility!”
Pang Zhengming's lips curled slightly as he continued calmly, "If you insist on going to court, Sun Xiaolei will most likely only be responsible for compensating some medical expenses, while your daughter may very well face imprisonment!"
"What??"
Jiang Tianming was stunned.
So, Sun Xiaolei hit his own daughter and not only got away with it, but his daughter is the one who will go to jail?
Is this even reasonable?
However, what the other party said was so reasonable and well-founded that it momentarily intimidated him.
At this moment, Pang Zhengming took out a check and a letter of understanding, saying, "Mr. Jiang, although Young Master Sun was more seriously injured than your daughter, Director Sun is a reasonable person. Here is one hundred million, which he asked me to give to you as an apology!"
"In addition, the Marquis also asked me to pass on a message to you: as the saying goes, it is better to resolve enmity than to make it. Now the Xu family is planning to join the Red Phoenix Merchant Guild, and the Guanzhong business community is destined to be greatly purged in the future. The Marquis hopes that you can do great things with him in the future. I hope that you will not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains!"
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Tianming's expression immediately became uncertain.
One hundred million.
Although it wasn't a small amount, it wasn't particularly tempting to him.
However, he took the Marquis's words to heart.
Once the Xu family joins the Hongluan Chamber of Commerce, there will definitely be a major upheaval in the Guanzhong business community!
These smaller families can probably only weather this storm by following the Xu family, this aircraft carrier.
If we do the opposite, the Jiang family will probably be the first to be purged!
It wasn't easy for him to build his fortune from scratch; he risked his life to accumulate such a vast wealth, and naturally, he doesn't want it to vanish into thin air.
Thinking about all this, he hesitated.
At this moment, Pang Zhengming pushed the letter of understanding forward again and said, "Mr. Jiang, you have been in the business world for decades. You should understand that there are no eternal enemies in this world. Everyone is chasing after profit. Only real money is the most tangible thing! Don't risk your family's fate for the sake of a moment of pride!"
Jiang Tianming slowly clenched his fist.
I took a deep breath.
Although I hate to admit it, it's true.
The weak arm can't fight the strong arm in the end!
It would be far too much to risk the entire Jiang family just to save face.
Thinking of this, he finally loosened his fist and sighed.
"Okay, I'll sign!"
...
A moment later, Jiang Tianming returned to the ward.
However, he hesitated at the door, not daring to go in.
His daughter had just told him that he would never forgive Sun Xiaolei and would never reconcile with the Sun family.
Then he turned around and signed a letter of understanding. How do you explain that?
There was no way to avoid it, so he gritted his teeth, braced himself, and went inside.
Jiang Ruoyi quickly sat up. "Dad, you're back? How did it go? What did that lawyer say? Was he asking for forgiveness on behalf of that bastard Sun Xiaolei?"
Jiang Tianming's expression was somewhat unnatural. He sat down on the edge of the bed, smiled, and said, "Of course! This bastard is here to plead for Sun Xiaolei. Daughter, don't worry, I've already given them a good scolding! This scoundrel hurt my daughter like this, he deserves to be torn to pieces!"
"Exactly! Didn't you see how arrogant he was? He must have bullied girls a lot. This kind of person should spend the rest of his life in jail!" Jiang Ruoyi said angrily.
Jiang Tianming smiled awkwardly and said, "But Ruoyi, this matter isn't entirely Sun Xiaolei's fault. You also hit someone with a bottle back then!"
"Dad, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but frown.
Jiang Tianming sighed and recounted what Pang Zhengming had told him about the injury examination.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoyi felt extremely angry and cursed, "Is this lawyer crazy? It was clearly Sun Xiaolei who tried to hit Siyun first, so I only acted in self-defense!"
"Dad, don't listen to his nonsense. He's just making excuses. I don't believe the judge will acquit him! I believe the law is fair. We'll see!" Jiang Ruoyi said defiantly.
Jiang Tianming shook his head. "Ruoyi, you've always been so serious! Actually, some things really don't need to be..."
"Unnecessary?" Jiang Ruoyi frowned, annoyed. "Dad, what do you mean? Why are you siding with them?"
