Chapter 1260 - 1260 Taking the Chance to Extort
1260 Taking the Chance to Extort
Wang Yunzhong could tell that Li Xia was not lying, and this kind of thing did not allow her to lie. However, it was already the agreed time, so they could not argue about money anymore.
Last time, four people came together. This time, it was still the four of them.
In the hospital lobby, Officer Wang had already arrived. As soon as Wang Yunzhong and the rest appeared, he quickly walked up to them.
“Officer Wang.”
As soon as they met, Wang Yunzhong greeted him.
Officer Wang nodded and held a document in his hand. He swept his gaze across the four people’s faces and saw that Li Xia seemed to have just cried, but he didn’t ask further. He only slowly said, “Wang Dapeng is already awake. Let’s go up together later. The process of reconciliation in private isn’t complicated. The most important thing is that both sides can reach a consensus.”
“When the time comes, don’t comment at once. Just send one person to discuss it. Because in the past, we’ve encountered cases where many people disagreed and eventually angered the other party, causing the mediation to fail.”
“Alright, I understand.” Wang Yunzhong quickly nodded. “I’ll talk.”
“Yes, yes. My elder son will talk about it,” the old lady quickly chimed in.
Officer Wang nodded slightly when he heard that. In the end, he instructed, “Your attitude must be sincere. If there’s anything unreasonable, don’t be in a hurry to refute it. I’m still here. It’s better for me to say some things.”
Officer Wang had done his best in this matter. He did not forget to help them at the last moment. He probably saw that Li Xia was quite pitiful and did not want Wang Yunfa to go to jail before the child was born because of such a small mistake.
After discussing everything, they followed Officer Wang upstairs.
In the ward, it was still Wang Dapeng and his wife, Liu Meili. However, compared to the last time they came, there were a few fruit baskets on the table. It was obvious that someone had come to visit.
Wang Dapeng was already awake. Although the bandage on his head had not been removed, he looked quite energetic.
Moreover, Officer Wang had specially asked Wang Dapeng’s doctor-in-charge. His injuries were not serious, but the blow had caused him a concussion. This was the key to the sentencing.
Whether a concussion affected people differed from person to person. It did not cause too serious consequences to many people. Some people even had light brain damage in the beginning and had some obvious symptoms, but they would recover after recuperating in bed for a while.
However, the aftereffects of a concussion could be permanent and happen intermittently in the days to come. In the end, it would not affect one’s life. However, there were many uncontrollable factors, so it was a very troublesome problem. The compensation amount for this settlement had to be discussed around this.
After knocking and entering the ward, the two sides met. Wang Yunzhong first smiled and greeted the other party.
Wang Dapeng’s lover also greeted them. Her attitude was much better than the first time they met. It seemed that Officer Wang had done his job well, and Wang Yunzhong couldn’t help but feel relieved.
Among them, only the old lady knew Wang Dapeng. She couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Dapeng, how are you? Does your head still hurt?”
Wang Dapeng lay on the hospital bed and said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Aunt, sit.”
Although he did not deliberately make things difficult for her, Wang Dapeng’s tone was cold. The old lady’s smile froze, and she nodded.
Officer Wang said, “Since everyone is here, why don’t we start?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Officer Wang’s gaze landed on Wang Yunzhong. Seeing this, Wang Yunzhong quickly nodded and said to show his sincerity, “Brother Wang, I’m Wang Yunfa’s brother. I came once last time. Sister-in-law has seen me.”
“I apologize on behalf of my brother and our family for the harm Yunfa impulsively caused you and your family. I’m sorry!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yunzhong lowered his head slightly. His attitude was quite sincere, but even someone as arrogant as him couldn’t easily bend down.
Wang Yunzhong was a mercenary. He would willingly put down his face if there were benefits to be gained, such as flattery towards Jian Ai’s family.
However, there were no benefits. No matter how nicely he said it, he could not lower his head psychologically, let alone Wang Yunfa.
It was already his limit to do this for Wang Yunfa. He even bowed to others.
Fortunately, Wang Dapeng and his wife were not particular people. It was enough for them to hear Wang Yunzhong’s words. They did not want the other party to bow and kneel.
Wang Dapeng immediately looked at Wang Yunzhong. It was the same feeling Liu Meili had when she looked at Wang Yunzhong back then. At first glance, he could tell that Wang Yunzhong was rich.
“I accept your apology, so I accepted a private reconciliation,” Wang Dapeng said slowly.
“Even so, how much do we have to compensate you before you’re willing to close the case?” Wang Yunzhong asked.
Getting straight to the point was the best solution. Neither party was in the mood to ask about the other’s well-being or talk nonsense. They had to quickly resolve the compensation matter and this matter would be over.
When everyone heard this, they looked up at Wang Dapeng and his wife.
Wang Dapeng’s wife turned around and looked at Wang Dapeng. Their gazes met, and it was obvious that something was going on. It was obvious that the two of them had discussed it before.
Wang Dapeng nodded at Liu Meili, indicating for his wife to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Meili couldn’t help but take a deep breath. However, when she thought about how they were victims, she became more confident. She looked up into Wang Yunzhong’s eyes and said, “Three hundred thousand yuan and we’ll agree to a reconciliation!”
Three hundred thousand yuan!
When she said this, Wang Yunzhong and the rest, including Officer Wang, were stunned.
Not only them, but even Liu Meili’s heart thumped uncontrollably when she said this. It was obvious that they knew that three hundred thousand yuan was a little too much.
However, she had no choice. There was only this one chance. Wang Dapeng had considered it. Since the other party wanted to save someone, he would fork out money.
Three hundred thousand yuan was a little too much, but Wang Dapeng was also betting on whether the other party will take out this money for Wang Yunfa.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to extort them.
Without waiting for Wang Yunzhong to comment on this price, Officer Wang was the first to speak. “Madam Liu, I understand that you victims need compensation and spiritual comfort, but for a compensation amount of three hundred thousand yuan, it has to reach the level of serious injuries in terms of the sentencing in a criminal case. Your settlement amount is too unreasonable!”
