Chapter 961 I just don’t want to pay any money, not even a dime
Luo Youdi complained aggrievedly, "Comrade police, you can't just listen to his one-sided story. I was drugged tonight and almost got into trouble."
Pointing at Gong Chaonan, he said, "My bodyguard was beaten up for saving me."
His eyes turned to the driver. "He is my driver. He was also involved in this incident tonight. He must have had his teeth knocked out by the other party when he was saving me. When I returned to the hospital, I recalled that something was wrong with him when the accident happened. I suspected that he was bribed. I questioned him and wanted to fire him, but he slandered my niece with the intention of blackmailing me."
"We disagreed, so he called the police."
Zhang Ran, who was standing nearby, immediately chimed in: "I'm going to sue the driver for accepting bribes and harming my sister-in-law."
The police immediately questioned Gong Chaonan and checked the injury assessment of the two. They learned that they had just called the police not long ago and immediately believed it 70%.
Faced with Luo Youdi's lies and distortion of the truth, the driver clenched his fists in anger, shouting that Luo Youdi and the others were lying and that they were the ones who were slandering.
The police gave both parties fifty lashes and tried to mediate.
The driver accepted the mediation: "She knocked out two of my teeth, 10,000 for each tooth! She slapped me more than 20 times, 100 for each slap. Let her pay me 40,000, and I'll let it go!"
The police asked Zhang Ran if he was willing to accept it.
Zhang Ran spread his hands and said, "I don't have any money, but I have my life. Arrest me." He spat at the driver and said, "You want money? Dream on!"
Police: “…” They had no choice but to take her back to the police station for detention.
The driver jumped up and down and yelled, "If you don't pay, you'll go to jail!"
Qi Hongyan immediately stepped forward to stop them, "Our client has a mental illness." She then took out the medical records of Zhang Ran over the years that Cheng Mingtai had prepared and handed them to the police.
"Mental illness?" The driver was dumbfounded.
The policeman flipped through a thick stack of Zhang Ran's medical records, then handed it to the driver, advising him not to offend Zhang Ran and to try to reconcile.
After the driver looked through the medical records, his eyes went dark and his mouth felt bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. "I also want to reconcile, but look at her dead look. She relies on her mental illness to do whatever she wants and refuses to pay. Am I going to get beaten for nothing?"
"Did the other party really hit you for no reason?"
The driver felt uneasy at the policeman's sharp eyes. He avoided his gaze and compromised: "You have to pay at least a little."
"No compensation! Not a penny!" Zhang Ran insisted on not paying the money. Even when the driver reduced the price to 2,000 yuan, she still refused to pay a penny. She even shouted at the police: "You arrest me and let my lawyer bail me out. I just don't want to pay, not a penny."
Luo Youdi and Luo Youge were afraid that she would anger the police, so they took turns to coax her.
Qi Hongyan's headache was about to explode, so she quickly called the police and the driver to the corridor outside the ward to negotiate.
In the end, Qi Hongyan paid 1,000 yuan out of her own pocket to compensate the driver, asking him to withdraw the lawsuit and write a letter of apology.
After receiving the 1,000 yuan, the driver fled overnight and was never seen again.
After resolving Zhang Ran's issue, Qi Hongyan went home to sleep and promised to go to the police station early in the morning to inquire about the progress of Luo Youdi's case.
"You should go back to sleep too." Luo Youdi advised Zhang Ran to go home and rest.
Luo Youge also persuaded Zhang Ran, saying that she would take care of Luo Youdi.
Zhang Ran carefully asked Luo Youdi for the information of everyone at the table before leaving the hospital.
After Zhang Ran got in the car, Qiu Yu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, handed over the laptop and said, "What do you want this thing for in the middle of the night? Shall I take you home now?"
Zhang Ran: "Go to Yongan Real Estate Company."
