He didn't want to provide compensation, nor did he want to take responsibility, which is why he hired a lawyer to defend him, but he forgot about the issues with his family.
The driver had been punished multiple times for traffic accidents in the past, but he remained unrepentant and continued to commit offenses.
Little did he expect that this accident would be so serious, directly resulting in the deaths of two students and injuries to many others. He would have to pay compensation even if he went bankrupt.
Moreover, if his actions in the car are discovered, he will bear legal responsibility, and in serious cases, he could be sentenced to death.
That's why he stubbornly refused to tell the truth.
However, Jiang Yilai's conversation with the police made him feel that something was wrong, and after Yang Jiexing's explanation, he became even more uneasy.
The driver hurriedly said, "Attorney Yang, please go and find out about the situation on the family's side right away."
“Mr. Zhang, I am your defense lawyer. What you are saying is outside my scope of responsibility, but rest assured, I will do my best to defend you.”
“What good will your efforts do? You’ve already said that the opposing lawyer used to be your boss and has never lost a case.”
"As long as you're not lying, I'm confident I can win."
Yang Jiexing carefully observed his expression. The driver gritted his teeth and could no longer say those words with the same confidence as before.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm asking you one last time, have you really told me the whole truth?"
The driver said unhappily, "Just help me get away with this, don't worry about anything else."
"There's another question: how much money did you give the law firm?"
"Don't you know how shady your law firm is? You took half a lifetime's savings and then sent a newbie like you. If you lose the case, I'll make you pay."
Even an ordinary driver knows these things, which shows he's extraordinary.
Yang Jiexing said, "This is your own choice, don't blame others, and given the current situation, it's uncertain whether we can even wait until the trial date."
The driver panicked, and asked anxiously and angrily, "Explain yourself clearly, what's going on?"
"Didn't Officer Luo just say that the family members will definitely come forward themselves after this incident? As for what they will do, I don't know."
"No, that would put me in danger. Let the police protect me."
"If you don't cooperate, how can they protect you?"
Yang Jiexing's words left him speechless, making him as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
But if this truth were revealed, would he still be alive?
Now we can only hold on and take it one step at a time.
He stubbornly replied, "What I said is the truth. What can I do if they don't believe me? You are my lawyer, so you must defend me with all your might and use every means to win."
Yang Jiexing laughed and said, "It seems Mr. Zhang is very familiar with these things. He must have spent a lot of money on disputes in the past."
"I was just unlucky, but this time I've had the worst luck ever. I never imagined someone would die."
"I think you took a chance and ended up making a big mistake. Of course I can't question you, but as I said, I can only defend you based on the information you provided. Whether you can convince everyone in the end depends on your luck."
The driver was furious upon hearing this and said angrily, "I want a 100% chance of victory, not luck. I think you are very unprofessional, and I demand a replacement."
This was exactly Yang Jiexing's goal. How could he possibly compete with Jiang Yilai? He knew very well that he was no match for her and did not want to become her adversary.
