"The Bai family... what a Bai family! How dare they bully our Xian family! This matter will not end here!" The Bai family is truly adept at raising their daughter. Not only is she driving without a license, but she's also a young, inexperienced girl. Lin Suqing was so angry that she wanted to have Bai Xiaofu locked up in jail and put in a prison cell.
"By the way, Madam, there's one more thing... Director Huang told me privately that not long after they brought Bai Xiaofu back to the police station, the Bai family came over, hoping to borrow money to avoid trouble and wanting to bribe the police station to release her and turn the page on this matter. Director Huang knows that Lao Zhao is our Xian family's driver, so he didn't agree immediately. Therefore, he wanted me to ask you, Master and Madam, for your opinions."
"Release them? Don't they even know what the Bai family is capable of! Old Song, call Director Huang and tell him that if the police station dares to release them, they're going against the entire Xian family. Let them think about the consequences."
"Yes, Madam." The butler bowed respectfully and turned to leave the hospital.
After what seemed like an eternity, the lights above the operating room finally went out, and the doctor emerged from the operating room.
"Doctor, how is he? How is my husband? Is he in danger?" Old Zhao's wife had already cried until her eyes were swollen, fearing that she would hear bad news about her husband from the doctor.
The doctor sighed and shook his head. "You are all family members of the injured, right? I suggest you all prepare yourselves mentally in advance. The injured person has multiple fractures throughout his body, with multiple broken ribs. The most serious issue is massive intracranial hemorrhage, as well as some bleeding in his lungs and internal organs. Whether he can pull through depends on him. If his condition improves, it will still have some impact on his life for the rest of his life. If... in the worst-case scenario, it is very likely that he will not make it through tonight."
After hearing the doctor's words, Mr. Zhao's wife was so grief-stricken that she fainted. The doctor and nurses quickly took her to a regular ward to rest.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen, who were standing to the side, were also extremely saddened. Old Zhao had been the driver for the Xian family for more than 30 years. Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen regarded him as family and an indispensable part of the Xian family. Now that such a thing had happened, and given that Old Zhao was already old and so seriously injured, the possibility of him surviving was really very slim.
But Lao Zhao has no children besides his wife. If he were to pass away like this, how could his wife bear it? And for the Xian family, it would be a devastating blow.
That's why the Xian family can't let the murderer continue to go unpunished. They must do what they're supposed to do according to the law, and they absolutely cannot be lenient.
***
After receiving the call, Director Huang's expression changed slightly.
Bai Minglei and Song Meiyan, sitting opposite each other, were extremely anxious. They had cherished their daughter like a precious treasure since she was little, and they couldn't bear to leave her here for even a minute longer.
"Director Huang, how's it going? What did the higher-ups say? Can you help us suppress this? Money is no object, as long as my daughter doesn't go to jail, I'll give you any amount of money."
"I'm sorry, Ms. Bai, I know that parents love their children dearly, but this is a police station, not your home. Bai Xiaofu is an adult and should be responsible for her actions. The injured person is in very bad condition. In the worst-case scenario, she could be charged with manslaughter, driving without a license, dangerous driving, running red lights on multiple occasions, and so on. With so many charges combined, jail time is inevitable. You should go home."
Song Meiyan stood up excitedly, "Impossible! Our Xiaofu definitely didn't do it on purpose! Did you even check the surveillance footage properly? That pedestrian must have been trying to stage an accident, that's why he got hit. He deserved it, how can you blame it all on our Xiaofu! How much money and how much of a bribe did you all take from that person to frame our Xiaofu like this!"
"Mrs. Bai, this is a police station. You'd better watch your words and actions!" Chief Huang no longer held back in his politeness towards Bai Minglei and Song Meiyan.
"Alright, alright, don't get agitated. Let's go back and think of another way." Bai Minglei tugged at his wife, telling her not to act impulsively. Going against the police wouldn't do any good; they might even lose their daughter and have his wife locked up, which would be even less worthwhile.
At this critical juncture, we not only need to find a way to get Bai Xiaofu out of the police station, but also need to find someone to completely suppress the matter of Bai Xiaofu's traffic accident as soon as possible. After all, she represents not only herself, but also the image of the Bai family and the entire Bai Group. The image of the entire Bai Group cannot have any bad stains.
Bai Minglei managed to drag Song Meiyan out of the police station with great difficulty.
Back in the car, Song Meiyan continued to cry loudly.
"What other way? What other way? Are you just going to let me watch my daughter suffer in this wretched place?" The thought of her precious daughter being detained in the police station made Song Meiyan's heart ache terribly. When she first arrived, she tried to persuade the police station to turn a blind eye and release Bai Xiaofu, but who would have thought that these people would turn their backs on her so easily and show no mercy.
"Don't I love my daughter too? Even if you keep making a scene, do you think they'll release her? What we need to do now is to suppress this matter as soon as possible, so that the company won't be put in the spotlight. Besides, there's another thorny issue... The other party is the driver of the Xuan family. It won't be so easy to get their forgiveness and leniency."
