Chapter 135 The Feast at Hongmen
With accurate medical information, Zhang Pengfei immediately applied to the court for an investigation order.
Three days later, Sun Haodong's lawyer, Wang Ping, finally took the initiative to call Attorney Chang for the first time, asking if there was time to talk.
However, during the pre-trial mediation, Wang Ping was adamant that if he wanted a settlement, he had to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation!
The judge was clearly siding with Wang Ping, advising Chang Youli not to help the party provoke a lawsuit, but to find a way to proceed with the case.
This case was originally taken by Attorney Zhu, who was just following the usual procedure. To put it bluntly, he was just representing Zhang Pengfei in court.
I got annoyed by the judge's attitude and said directly, "If you can't handle this, then let's have a trial."
The judge and Li Ping exchanged a glance. Li Ping's attitude softened slightly, seemingly offering a friendly reminder but actually containing a hidden threat: "Even if the injury is re-evaluated, it will be difficult to prove that this injury is an old one and not a new one!"
After all, the two injuries occurred only 10 days apart. Given Wang Xiaowei's physique, it's difficult to judge the force of the punch and whether it caused a secondary fracture.
Moreover, in practice, as long as the chain of evidence is not obviously contradictory and meets the principle of "high probability", it can be regarded as a reliable conclusion. In other words, even if Zhang Pengfei and his team find out that Sun Haodong has a medical history, it cannot clear Wang Xiaowei of suspicion.
This is one of the reasons why Wang Ping is so resolute.
The mediation ended badly, with both parties parting on bad terms.
Back at the law firm, Zhang Pengfei practically wore out the injury assessment report he had on hand, and could even recite the blogger's "narration" from the video by heart, but he still couldn't find any useful clues from this "ironclad evidence."
Chen Jingyang was also at a loss. Apart from massaging Zhang Pengfei's head to relieve his headache and coaxing him to sleep in bed, there was nothing else he could do.
But Zhang Pengfei couldn't sleep. It was already midnight and he was tossing and turning, his mind replaying the video of Wang Xiaowei hitting him and the forensic report.
Chen Jingyang had been watching his movements closely, and with a pained expression, she held him in her arms, forcibly closing his eyes: "Baby, go to sleep, there's still tomorrow. How can you be like this?"
Zhang Pengfei knew this wouldn't do. If he could lose sleep over such a small case, what would he do if he encountered a major or serious case in the future?
But this matter is stuck in my heart, and I just can't shake it off!
"Sigh!" Zhang Pengfei sighed and buried his head in Chen Jingyang's arms: "Chen Jingyang, have you ever encountered something similar? How do you get through times when you're worried?"
Chen Jingyang had never really thought about this question.
He became independent early. After being sent abroad at the age of 10, he was cared for by only one servant who basically did whatever he said.
Moreover, he has neither a lack of money nor a lack of talent, and he has had a smooth life all these years, seemingly without any worries.
If I had to name one, it would be Zhang Pengfei.
How did he deal with the visitors at that time?
Oh! First, he vented his anger on Xiao Jiang, and then he gave Zhang Pengfei a good beating!
But this method is clearly not suitable for Zhang Pengfei.
"Baby, things will work themselves out. Don't exaggerate the difficulties. Maybe you'll find a new clue after a good night's sleep!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Jingyang's words came true!
The next day, Chen Jingyang was in a meeting in room 001 when his phone screen suddenly lit up. He glanced at it, immediately picked it up, stood up, and said, "Sorry, it's an emergency call. Please wait a few minutes."
Then he hurriedly left the meeting room.
"Hey, baby, what's wrong?"
Zhang Pengfei's voice was extremely excited: "Chen Jingyang, I've found a clue! Wang Xiaowei is left-handed, and he swung his left hand from the left to hit the person, but the forensic report shows that his nasal bone was displaced 2mm to the left! That kind of injury could only be caused by a blow from the right!"
"That's great!" Chen Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief. He had been thinking that if Zhang Pengfei still couldn't sleep tonight, he would ask the dean to arrange a meeting with Sun Haonan and persuade him to drop the case.
With video footage, medical history, and injury assessment, this is the perfect "ironclad evidence" that Wang Xiaowei did hit someone, but did not cause any minor injuries!
Things went much more smoothly after that, and Wang Xiaowei eventually paid Sun Haodong 200 yuan to settle the matter.
In this case, Zhang Pengfei achieved a resounding victory, laying a perfect foundation for his legal career.
Chen Jingyang was genuinely happy, thinking that a wonderful life was beckoning him, but he never expected that just having a meal with Dou Qiaoyun would almost scare him to death!
weekend.
In the transition from spring to summer, the weather is warm but not dry, and flowers are blooming everywhere, willows are green, and birds are singing and dancing.
As usual, the two took Huahua to visit Dou Qiaoyun.
But when they arrived, they found something was wrong—Dou Qiaoyun had already set out the food, and Dong Yue'e and Qiaoni'er were also there.
During this period, Chen Jingyang conducted "in-depth research" on Qiaonier and learned that there was a doctor surnamed Qin who was very interested in her. It was also with Dr. Qin's help that Dong Yue'e was able to successfully check into the hospital.
But Dr. Qin was seven years older than Qiao Nier and shorter than her, so Qiao Nier was never happy about it and only treated him as a friend.
Dr. Qin didn't force it, thinking that they would see each other all the time, and maybe they would develop feelings for each other over time.
But Zhang Pengfei's appearance suddenly shattered this possibility!
When they first met, Chen Jingyang sensed something was off. The way Qiao Ni looked at Zhang Pengfei was like a hungry wolf eyeing a piece of meat.
They would come to visit Dou Qiaoyun every weekend, and Qiaoni would always find a pretext to come and say a few words to Zhang Pengfei.
Fortunately, Zhang Pengfei was "educated" well during the rehabilitation process and realized that he could only have one person with whom he could have an intimate relationship, and that person was Chen Jingyang!
Even setting aside Chen Jingyang's own attraction to Zhang Pengfei, Zhang Pengfei's feelings for Qiaonier were purely based on their shared hometown ties; he never had any other thoughts.
Therefore, today's meal is undoubtedly a "trap" for Zhang Pengfei.
However, Zhang Pengfei was simple-minded and didn't think things through. He also didn't expect Dou Qiaoyun to take it upon herself to make arrangements for him.
As soon as the group sat down at the table, a subtle awkwardness set in.
Apart from Zhang Huahua and Zhang Pengfei, the other four can be described as having their own ulterior motives.
First of all, the seating arrangement was rather strange—Dou Qiaoyun and Dong Yue'e sat next to each other at the head of the table, Zhang Pengfei sat to Dou Qiaoyun's right, Qiaoni'er sat to Dong Yue'e's left, Chen Jingyang sat next to Zhang Pengfei, and Huahua was between him and Qiaoni'er.
Hua Hua was the first to question the seating arrangement, pouting as she asked Dou Qiaoyun, "Mom, why can't I sit next to you?"
She usually sits in the seat next to Dou Qiaoyun!
Dou Qiaoyun merely frowned and scoffed, "Where you sit isn't your place to eat? Just eat properly and stop asking nonsense!"
