Chapter 6: Huge Debt
"Within our ability," Zhang Pei finally came to her senses and regained her rationality. Thinking of what Lawyer Sun had taught her before, she said, "As long as it is reasonable, we can negotiate. I have 100,000 yuan here, which I can give to you as an emergency. After all, three children need to go to school and eat," she put the money on the table.
Seeing the money, the Wang family calmed down, stopped crying, shouting, and making noises. Old Lady Wang nimbly took the money to her side. She glanced at her youngest son and indicated something with her eyes. It should be discussed before coming. Old Lady Wang said,
"What is this little money enough for? Is my son's life worth 100,000 yuan? I heard that your husband is an official. If he goes to jail, he will lose his cap. Your daughter is studying piano at the Capital Conservatory of Music. The tuition must be very expensive. Your family has a house and a car in the capital, so you must be rich," said Old Lady Wang, with a greedy look in her eyes. She raised her right hand and held up three fingers. "Three million is our minimum requirement."
"How could we have so much money?" Zhang Pei stared in astonishment.
Lawyer Sun frowned.
The Wang family has already found out all the details of their family, including where Liu Chengyu works, their home address, and the school that Liu Lan attends.
The Wang family has only been in the capital for a few days. How could they have collected this information in such a short time?
After thinking for a while, Lawyer Sun looked at the lawyer named Zhao Feng, and the other party actually smiled at him.
After the accident, Zhang Pei counted the family's property. She and her husband only had a savings of more than 300,000 yuan. Even if they sold the car, they could get 200,000 yuan, but they still couldn't save a million yuan. Liu Man spent money lavishly, buying whatever she wanted. The couple couldn't save any money. Zhang Pei now regretted that she shouldn't have spoiled Liu Man before. She didn't know where the money went after it was all spent.

"Your house is in the city center, right?" Wang Zhihua, who also studied at a university in the capital, was very familiar with the capital's housing prices. "If you sell your house, you will have money."
Zhang Pei would definitely disagree, "If we sell the house, where will we live?"
"That's your business. My brother was so young and could have lived a long life. He also had three children to feed. How do you think the bill should be settled? One million for one child is not a lot, right?" Wang Zhihua asked.
The Wang family's greedy appearance angered Zhang Pei, "Don't even think about it, we will never agree to it."
Zhang Pei grabbed Liu Lan's hand and said to Lawyer Sun, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked out without looking back. Liu Lan was pulled out by him. Before leaving the box, she turned around and saw the lawyer named Zhao Feng, who had a confident smile on his face.
The first negotiation ended unpleasantly.
As soon as he left the Wang family's sight, Zhang Pei could not help but angrily said, "They are asking for too much. Three million, is their son worth three million?"
Zhang Pei spoke harshly because he was extremely angry.
Lawyer Sun said, "Even if Wang Chunhua is not worth it, Chengyu is worth it."
His words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on me.
Thanks to the strong protection of Liu Chengyu's immediate superior, although Liu Chengyu was arrested, he has not yet been fired from his work unit. The dinner party on the night of the incident was hosted by his superior, and Liu Chengyu blocked the wine for his superior.
Now his leader has used his connections to suppress the matter, but if Wang’s family goes to his unit to cause trouble, or posts it online, there’s no way to remedy the situation.
This is what Sun Yiyi was worried about. He said to Zhang Pei, "Their lawyers are not easy to deal with. Young people nowadays have many ideas. He must have some confidence in being able to persuade the Wang family to ask for three million yuan. I'm afraid he has a backup plan."
After Lawyer Sun's analysis, Zhang Pei was confused and scared. "What's the back-up plan?"
"The official was drunk and drove into a courier and killed him. The other party was a high-ranking official and he was bullying the courier's family, so they had nowhere to seek justice," said lawyer Sun. "All they had to do was hire internet trolls to write similar headlines, and Chengyu would be finished."
