Chapter 1361: Let Him Not Pursue the Problem
As for the Zeng family matter, Zeng Kai had no way of denying it because the evidence was irrefutable, so he pleaded guilty, including the fact that he stole Peng Xinghao's design drawings to participate in the competition.
However, the case has not yet been prosecuted in court, so there has been no trial yet. But since he has already pleaded guilty, he has naturally been formally detained by the public security bureau.
Also detained was the HR manager of the Libang Group. His crime was not only to harbor a criminal, but he could also be considered an accomplice of Zeng Kai. The reasons were: first, the design draft that Zeng Kai submitted for the competition first fell into the hands of the HR manager, so he gave it to Zeng Kai; second, he saw Zeng Kai hurt someone with his own eyes, but did not report it, which was a serious crime of harboring a criminal.
Therefore, punishment must be imposed, it’s just a matter of severity.
As for Zeng Lichang, although he was charged with bribery and sheltering, his crime was much lighter than that of the HR manager, and he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so he was given a light sentence and was released on bail.
Bail pending trial means paying a deposit or being guaranteed by a guarantor, and appearing in time when summoned by the judicial authority, that is, appearing at any time when called, not going out without permission, and then waiting for the trial.
Bail pending trial is generally a measure taken against criminal suspects who do not need to be arrested. In other words, Zeng Lichang's case has not yet reached the level where arrest is necessary. After summarizing the situation, there is generally no big deal.
Gu Ning didn't care how Zeng Lichang was dealt with. Her main concern was to make sure Zeng Kai was punished.
Because the trial has not yet begun, Peng Xinghao will have to wait until the trial is over before he can receive compensation.
The guarantor for bail pending trial needs to be the closest person, but Zeng Lichang did not find his wife, but his brother-in-law. Because Zeng Lichang's wife is too willing to make trouble, if she knew about Zeng Kai's situation, she would only make trouble and would not be able to do the work well.
So, it was not until he returned home in the evening that his wife Liu found out what had happened that day.
Sure enough, as soon as they learned that Zeng Kai had injured someone, was arrested, and would be imprisoned, they made a fuss and insisted that Zeng Lichang get Zeng Kai out.
In fact, if the Zeng family had called the police at the beginning and was willing to pay compensation, things wouldn't have been a big deal afterwards. But the Zeng family didn't do that at the time.
The Zeng family has assets worth tens of billions, and the medical expenses that need to be compensated are only a few hundred thousand, which is nothing at all.
Besides, the bribe Zeng Lichang gave to Chang Bingjian was hundreds of thousands of yuan.
But some people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to give to others rather than pay for their own mistakes.
In fact, Zeng Lichang thought at that time that Zeng Kai had just won the third place in the design competition and had a bright future. If something happened at this time, it would be disadvantageous to Zeng Kai.
So I thought, Peng Xinghao is just an ordinary person and he won’t cause any trouble.
But who knew that Peng Xinghao would meet a noble person! If Peng Xinghao hadn't met a noble person, this incident would never have happened.
By that time, Peng Xinghao will be dead, and there will be no evidence, and the design drawing will belong to Zeng Kai.
In fact, it was Zeng Lichang's unwise behavior that led to the loss of the big picture.
Zeng Lichang was also very annoyed about this matter, and he became even more annoyed after being quarreled by Liu. After scolding her a few words, he took Liu's younger brother Liu Yue to the study to discuss things.
"Brother-in-law, is there any other way to deal with Zeng Kai's problem?" Liu Yue asked. He still loved his nephew.
"There is a method, but I don't know if it will work." Zeng Lichang said gloomily.
"What method?" Liu Yue asked.
"Just go meet Peng Xinghao, give him some money and ask him not to pursue the matter." Zeng Lichang said, but he was not sure, so he didn't know if it would work.
"I think we can give it a try. Even if we cannot get Zeng Kai acquitted, his crime will be reduced a lot. We should act now before he goes to court. If he goes to court, it will be too late." Liu Yue said.
"Liu Yue, I'm not in a position to come forward right now, so please go find Peng Xinghao for this matter," Zeng Lichang said. Regardless of whether there was hope or not, Zeng Lichang didn't want to miss it, even if it meant getting a lighter sentence.
"Okay." Liu Yue had no intention of delaying and agreed readily, then went to do his work.
Although it is already eight o'clock in the evening, it is not too late. The sooner this matter is done, the better.
Liu Yue is a grateful person, because if it weren't for Zeng Lichang's help, the Liu family's business would have been prosperous long ago.
Some people may think that it is the son-in-law's duty to help his wife's family. No, nothing is a right. Helping is a favor, not helping is a duty. There is no right or wrong.
Moreover, when the Liu family was almost bankrupt, what they needed was not a few million dollars in financial support, but tens of millions.
Tens of millions is not a lot for the Zeng family, but who would dislike tens of millions! And this is a gift, not a loan.
No one is perfect. Maybe in this aspect, this person is not good, but in some other aspects, he is very good.
So, even though Zeng Lichang did something hurtful, Liu Yue was still willing to help him.
When Liu Yue was leaving, he was stopped by Liu in the living room, who asked him what he and Zeng Lichang were talking about and whether they had discussed how to rescue Zeng Kai.
Liu Yue said that he was thinking of a solution and that he would go to talk to the injured person and compensate him to see if he would not appeal. Only then did the Liu family become more obedient.
· At the beginning, Zhou Weifan's presence made Peng Xiaoman very uncomfortable and she barely said a few words to him. However, Peng Xinghao quickly became familiar with Zhou Weifan.
We are all men, so there is something to talk about.
Moreover, Peng Xinghao and Zhou Weifan have been playing a game recently, namely "Battle in the Sky", so the two of them can chat and play together more.
Zhou Weifan has strong comprehension and hands-on abilities, so he upgrades relatively quickly, which makes Peng Xinghao admire him.
Of course, the person he admired more was Gu Ning, who was already at the intermediate level.
Although he didn't know how long Gu Ning had been playing, he was sure that it definitely didn't take long.
It’s just that Peng Xinghao has a head injury, so he can’t play games for a long time, otherwise, he really wants to fight with Zhou Weifan for a whole day!
After spending most of the day together, Peng Xiaoman gradually felt less uncomfortable and was able to talk to Zhou Weifan.
Liu Yue knew which hospital Peng Xinghao was in, but he didn't know which ward he was in, so after arriving at the hospital's inpatient department, he went to ask the service desk.
Generally, the inpatient department will not deliberately conceal the information and will tell you if asked.
Only in special wards where special instructions have been given will we not tell them.
Liu Yue came with the mentality of making peace, so he also brought some supplements.
Liu Yue came to Peng Xinghao's ward and knocked on the door.
