Ji Xueping said without thinking: "I think we should call the police."
Tang Xiaobao sighed in his heart.
Call the police?
I guess even if the police come, they won’t be able to explain anything. It would be best if the deceased’s family members don’t come, otherwise, the matter will become even more troublesome.
No matter how troublesome it is, Tang Xiaobao can't object.
Ji Xueping has such a strong sense of justice...
As he spoke, Ji Xueping had already taken out his cell phone to call the police.
In just a short while, many people started to watch, and the number of onlookers increased.
But no one came near, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by the dead person's bad luck.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Oh, isn't this Director Cheng's mother? What happened? Was she hit by a car?"
Then, there were bursts of discussions.
Someone recognized the deceased and started making phone calls.
Five minutes passed and the police still hadn't arrived, but there was a commotion coming from outside the crowd.
"Get out of the way."
A middle-aged couple squeezed in from the crowd. When they saw the old man in front of them, they burst into tears.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Please don't die. Your son hasn't fulfilled his filial duty yet...
The man hugged the old man and cried bitterly.
The woman didn't cry much.
After crying for a while, the man raised his head, looked around, and asked, "Did anyone see who hit my mother?"
"I haven't seen anything yet. Ask them."
"Yes, that's the one the girl is helping."
"They should know."
"Could it be that they bumped into me?"
Some people came to watch the fun, or perhaps they were the man's neighbors, and they all started pointing fingers at Tang Xiaobao and Ji Xueping.
"Is it you?"
The man got up, grabbed Tang Xiaobao and tried to tear him apart.
"Give me back my mother's life."
Tang Xiaobao pushed the man away and explained with a frown: "We are just passing by. This matter has nothing to do with us."
"Yes, yes, I just wanted to get off the car and take a look, but who knew she had already—"
Ji Xueping also began to explain.
It would have been fine if she didn't explain, but as soon as she did, the middle-aged woman grabbed her and wouldn't let go.
"Humph, if it wasn't you who hit the person, how could you be so kind as to help him? It must be you. Should we settle it publicly or privately? You decide."
sweat……
This brings us to the money.
The man was stunned, and when he saw his wife winking at him, he immediately reacted.
"Yes, do you want to settle this privately or publicly? If it's a private settlement, you'll get 500,000 yuan, and not a single child will be lost. If it's a public settlement, then we'll go to court."
The man also began to shout.
Tang Xiaobao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
What the hell is going on? Doing good things brings trouble?
Seeing that Ji Xueping was still held in the other party's hand, Tang Xiaobao hurried over and pushed the middle-aged woman away.
He didn't even use much strength, but the middle-aged woman fell to the ground in an instant, crying out: "Oh, is there any law? This is too much bullying..."
"I'll say it again. This matter has nothing to do with us. Don't hold us against you and try to extort money. I can only say that you have the wrong person."
Tang Xiaobao said coldly.
The middle-aged man didn't rush towards him again. He just stared at Tang Xiaobao fiercely and said, "No one will get away today. So many neighbors saw it. Let's wait until the police come. I want to sue you. You don't want to settle it privately, right? Then let's make it public. See you in court."
After he said this, more than a dozen people appeared around him and surrounded Tang Xiaobao and Ji Xueping, fearing that they would escape.
Another "kind-hearted person" came to do ideological work for Tang Xiaobao and Ji Xueping.
"I say you two should find a way to compensate the money."
"That's right, it's easier to settle privately. You still have the insurance company, so you won't lose money."
"Director Cheng works at the court. If this goes to court, you'll be in big trouble. I'm doing this for your own good. Let's just settle this privately."
"It's just like that these days. Whoever helps someone is responsible. There's no surveillance around here, so you can't really explain it. Even if you're doing good things, but you've already encountered something like this, then just pay the money and don't feel bad about it. It's better than losing the lawsuit and the money later..."
Everyone was talking at once, urging Tang Xiaobao to give the money.
Ji Xueping was completely terrified. He hid behind Tang Xiaobao and said tremblingly, "It's over. Something happened. This is such a shame."
Tang Xiaobao smiled coldly and whispered to her, "Can't you see? This guy is relying on his position in the court to extort money from you."
"What should we do then?"
Ji Xueping said with a sad face.
Tang Xiaobao whispered, "Don't worry. This kind of thing can be used to bully ordinary people, but it will be useless to use it on me. They just want to play, right? Well, let's play with them. When the police come, you go out and hold them accountable. If they want to arrest you, let them arrest you. I will be there soon and will never let you suffer any loss. As for the money, don't worry, I won't give it to you. I will teach him a lesson. He is too greedy. He even wants to extort money after my mother died. He acted so well. It turns out it was all an act. People like him need to be taught a lesson."
Ji Xueping agreed without giving it much thought and said, "Okay, I'll handle this by myself for a while and wait for you to come and rescue me."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss. It's just that it's inconvenient for me to reveal my identity. Otherwise, even if he has ten times the courage, he won't dare to extort money from me. That would be a bad thing." Tang Xiaobao smiled sinisterly.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Then, the police finally arrived.
He arrived really late, more than ten minutes later.
Tang Xiaobao really wanted to file a complaint, but then he thought, complaining about these policemen would only make his brothers uncomfortable.
These people are all Wei Donglai's subordinates.
For Wei Bing's sake, Tang Xiaobao couldn't argue with them.
The people who came were from the nearby police station.
Because of the murder case, the traffic police did not come and the command center only sent three police officers.
The director in charge was named Jin Wanshan, who was in his forties. As soon as he came in, he saw Cheng Kun.
"Director Jin, you have to make the decision for me. My mother was hit and killed, and these two people are serious suspects. I asked for a private settlement, but he refused. So let's make it public. I'm going to sue him in court."
Cheng Kun hurried forward, held Jin Wanshan's hand, and spoke urgently.
Jin Wanshan was also very upset in front of so many people. He really wanted to leave, but then he thought, no, Cheng Kun was the director of a department in the Second Hospital. He was also a powerful official. In the system, no one wanted to offend anyone. On the contrary, they wanted to make others owe them favors. Who knows if someone would be promoted one day? It is easier to get things done with favors.
He winked at Cheng Kun, then loosened his hand, asking him to mourn. Turning around, his expression turned cold, "Who called the police just now?"
Ji Xueping immediately raised his hand: "I called the police."
