Chapter 165 A Safer Way to Make Money: Staged Accidents
Someone shouted, "Look at that big screen!"
Guided by the sound, everyone shifted their gaze.
The screen first shows Wang Zhiming and Zhu Shanshan moving things in the store, then Wang Zhiming drives away.
Qin Yanlin exchanged a few words with Zhu Shanshan, took a form and looked at it, then chased after Wang Zhiming and shouted for him to stop.
Wang Zhiming turned around, but instead of stopping, he suddenly accelerated, almost hitting a pedestrian.
The car accelerated, quickly leaving Qin Yanlin, who was already some distance away, far behind.
Then Wang Zhiming reached the street corner, turned onto the main road, and without slowing down at all, crashed into a large truck.
"It wasn't the truck that hit him, it was him who hit the truck!" someone exclaimed.
"My goodness, the truck doesn't seem to be moving; it's waiting for pedestrians to cross the road!"
"Didn't they say that a large truck was speeding through the city and crashed into a small car?"
"Why does this sound different from what I heard?"
"There's no trace of Qin Yanlin in this picture anymore!"
"They're out! That Qin Yanlin is only now arriving!"
"This Qin Yanlin has absolutely nothing to do with that car accident!"
"that is!"
……
Bystanders were buzzing with discussion.
Immediately, two lists of goods appeared on the screen, followed by an explanation from a professional. The handwriting differences between the two lists confirmed that Wang Zhiming's list was a forgery.
Then Zhu Shanshan discussed with Wang Zhiming's parents how to put pressure on Deng Xiuzhen and demand compensation from her.
The scene shifts to Wang Zhiming's parents leading a group of people, some scaling walls, others kicking down doors, and breaking into Deng Xiuzhen's house. Scenes of Wang Zhiming's mother assaulting people and Wang Zhiming's father smashing things are also vividly depicted.
"My God! These people are bandits! They just ransacked someone's house!"
"This was a premeditated home invasion!"
"Stealing other people's things and then extorting them!"
"And they even hurt their family members!"
"How can anyone feel safe like this?"
"Is there no law anymore?"
……
"What's with the recording? Who played it? Turn it off right now!" Zhu Shanshan roared in fury.
"I don't know! We sent people to lock it up, but they couldn't get close. As soon as they got close, they either fell down or their legs went weak and they couldn't walk. It's really weird!" Brother Dao replied.
"Get out of here quickly! Get far away and hide for a while to avoid trouble." Zhu Shanshan sensed danger.
"Huh? Why hide? Even if this is exposed, no one can do anything to us!" Brother Dao said dismissively.
"Listen to me, hurry up!" Zhu Shanshan said, then turned and ran.
Brother Dao hesitated for a moment, reluctant to leave.
Here, he's the big boss, the local strongman. It would be incredibly difficult for him to achieve that position elsewhere.
He decided to go back and take a look before making any decisions.
The uproar outside the courtroom had no effect on Wang Zhiming's parents and relatives inside. They were still calculating how much compensation the other party could pay and how much they would actually receive.
Their defense lawyers also looked confident of victory, which made them feel even more at ease and secure.
As new evidence was submitted piece by piece, their lawyer's expression went from solemn to ashen, and then to as black as the bottom of a pot.
The driver and Qin Yanlin's lawyer remained expressionless throughout, only pursing their lips to express their dissatisfaction with the verdict when it was finally announced.
The court ruled that although driver Zhao Chengguang was not at fault in the accident, Wang Zhiming died after being hit by his car, and ordered him to pay 3 yuan in compensation to the deceased's family.
Although Qin Yanlin chased and shouted, he only wanted to recover his belongings and did not engage in any extreme behavior, which was not a contributing factor to the car accident. Therefore, he was found not liable.
The loss of the goods and the illegal entry of Wang Zhiming's family into Deng Xiuzhen's home should be handled as separate cases.
Given that Wang Zhiming was dead, bystanders, including law enforcement officers, advised them to let it go and not pursue the matter further.
After all, Wang Zhiming is dead. The dead should be respected.
Wang Zhiming's parents and relatives did some outrageous things because they were grieving the loss of their loved ones.
The empathy and compassion shown are forgivable.
The verdict was unfair, but apart from Attorney Zhang and Deng Xiuzhen, no one else felt it was inappropriate.
Deng Xiuzhen and Attorney Zhang said nothing, because saying anything would not only fail to change the situation, but would also make them the target of everyone's attacks, who would say they were heartless and had no compassion.
When Zhu Shanshan received Dao Ge's call, she was on a train fleeing to Haicheng. After hearing Dao Ge's final verdict, she could hardly believe it.
The evidence was sufficient to prove that Wang Zhiming had stolen. His actions could be described as blatant robbery.
Wang Zhiming's parents climbed over the wall, kicked down the door, and broke into his home, assaulting people, smashing things, and causing trouble. That was illegal intrusion into someone else's home.
Furthermore, they even conspired to use various methods to make the other party pay more money. Isn't that extortion?
It's so obvious, they were so scared they ran away, so why is this the verdict?
……
Just because Wang Zhiming is dead, can all the wrongdoings be wiped clean? Can all the illegal acts be understood and forgiven?
Zhu Shanshan was greatly inspired. She thought of a better way to make money, a safer way than the fraud and theft she had recently thought of: staged accidents!
Since the weak are always right, and everyone has to pay compensation for injuries, and once someone dies, everything can be forgiven, what are they afraid of?
She quickly got off at the next stop and immediately bought a ticket to return to Kyoto.
After this incident, Deng Xiuzhen also realized that things in this world are too unpredictable, and there is no need to think too much about everything. The right thing to do is to cherish the person who is good to you.
The two reconciled, and Wenxin also brought good news: she won first prize in the competition she participated in!
This weekend, apart from Wenjing who is far away abroad, the other four members of Qin Yanlin's small family went to a restaurant at the entrance of the alley for the first time to have a big meal and celebrate Wenxin's award.
Before she had finished her meal, Deng Xiuzhen received a call from Zhao Shuliang: Wenjing is in trouble!
Deng Xiuzhen was so shocked that she dropped her bowl and chopsticks. She rushed outside in a panic, wanting to see Zhao Shuliang and ask him what had happened in person.
Quietness is extremely important to her.
"Xiuzhen! Xiuzhen!" Qin Yanlin shouted as he chased after her after realizing what was happening.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't hear her at all and got into a taxi and left.
The commotion alerted the waiters, and they saw the entire table of diners running outside.
They reacted quickly and grabbed Wenxin and Wenyu.
Trying to dine and dash with that kind of trick? No way!
“Dad! Dad!” Wen Xin and Wen Yu shouted.
Qin Yanlin turned around and saw that the two children were being held down by four security guards, as if they were being arrested as criminals.
He realized that they hadn't paid the bill, and people thought they were trying to skip out on the bill.
Looking at the taxi that had already driven away, he felt panicked and just wanted to chase after it, but he couldn't ignore the fact that his two children were being held by someone, so he hurried back to pay the fare.
Muttering to herself, "What big thing happened to your mom? Why is she running so fast?"
I was panicking, and my hand was shaking as I reached for my money.
"Dad, don't worry, call Mom later and ask what happened."
