Chapter 1579: Carried Two Lives on His Back
The old man was now helplessly lying here at the mercy of others. That was what happened when one condoned bad wolves, things that couldn’t be raised to be loyal. To expect an animal to feel goodwill was unrealistic.
Xi Mucheng, who was burning with hatred, couldn’t wait to see the Shi family die.
The doctor didn’t approve of Ning Shu’s transfer, though. The old man’s condition wasn’t good right now, and it could easily go wrong if they disturbed him.
The old man’s eyelids opened for a bit before he fell back into unconsciousness. Ning Shu channeled some mild energy into the old man to help him slowly repair his body.
Ning Shu’s determination to transfer the old man solidified and she signed all the requisite papers.
The old man was lifted into the car, and the maid also followed him.
At the new hospital, Ning Shu asked the staff to keep the old man’s condition confidential and treat him in secret. His name also couldn’t be found in the hospital system.
After doing these things, it was almost dawn. Ning Shu cracked her neck. If she didn’t have the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, staying up all night like this would be too much for her body.
The old man had a doctor, nurse, and maid to take care of him, so his condition was stable, neither good nor bad.
The old man was already getting on in years. His body wasn’t as it used to be in his youth, and the car accident made things even worse.
Ning Shu was a little worried that the old man wouldn’t wake up.
She infused some spiritual energy into the old man’s body. Ning Shu couldn’t allow anything to happen to the old man. Otherwise, in the absence of a will, Xi Mucheng, a legal son, would also have inheritance rights to the shares and the real estate in the old man’s hands.
Xi Mucheng shouldn’t dream of getting a penny from the Shi family, as they didn’t owe him anything.
Ning Shu received a call from the police station; the driver had admitted that he was paid to cause a traffic accident.
She didn’t say anything. Instead, she directly got a lawyer to prosecute that driver. Not only would the man not get half a million, but he would also face jail time.
And even after going to prison, it wouldn’t be easy for him.
She made sure he would be tortured inside.
So far, the driver carried two lives on his back: Shi Lina and the old man’s driver.
The court awarded the Shi driver’s family $500,000. Moreover, the truck driver also had to pay for the emotional distress of the Shi driver’s relatives.
In the end, the truck driver was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of all civil rights.
Ning Shu used the money to pay off the prison bully who shared a room with the driver. He said he would treat the driver well.
The Shi driver’s family received generous compensation. All in all, with the sum from Ning Shu, they had nearly a million dollars of family wealth.
Ning Shu had the family leave the city. It was good to have money in hand, but there was no guarantee that Xi Mucheng wouldn’t dispose of the Shi driver and his family.
A million was no small number.
The Shi family’s driver was an innocent who was caught in the Shi family’s struggles. When they learned that the truck driver was paid to harm people, the Shi driver’s family didn’t hesitate to leave the city anymore.
After dealing with these things, Ning Shu hurriedly went to the company to hold a meeting with the board of directors. The old man being in a car accident couldn’t be covered up. The prices of their shares had fallen, and the shareholders were getting a little restless.
Ning Shu had to ensure the company’s normal operation and keep these shareholders’ pockets from shrinking.
She was busy as a bee every day.
Ning Shu asked the secretary if Xi Mucheng had come to work. The secretary shook her head, saying that the vice president hadn’t come to the office for several days.
Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. If her guess wasn’t wrong, he was humping with Shi Sinan every day.
Although she hadn’t been back to the villa for days, Shi Sinan still hadn’t made a single call to ask how her grandfather was doing.
It was a nightmare to have this kind of daughter.
Ning Shu really hated such people, who were simple and beautiful and oh so untouched by the world.
She bought a set of needles and went back to the villa. On the way, Ning Shu bought some weight-gaining pills that contained hormones. These things could be detected and should be used as little as possible.
