What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 276: Chapter 122: I Paint a Picture for the Court_4

...

Hanbei Province, Dongfang City, Baishan District, fifty-one-year-old Li Huaiqing was driving a cab and picking up passengers. He was a taxi driver in the Baishan District.

Although he was getting on in years, Li Huaiqing felt he could work for another decade. He already had a grandson and was more motivated than ever to earn money.

Just last night, something happened that made him uneasy. A passenger who had drunk alcohol complained about the fare being expensive and, after a while, inexplicably jumped out of the car window.

It seems that in the future, he should avoid picking up such people...

As he thought this, Li Huaiqing stopped the car, arriving at the destination of his current passenger.

He hadn't eaten breakfast yet and was planning to find a place to eat when his phone rang, displaying an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Baishan District Traffic Police Squadron Two. Is this Li Huaiqing?"

Hearing this voice, Li Huaiqing instantly tensed up, knowing the traffic police were the last people a driver wanted to deal with.

"Yes, it's me. What's the matter?"

The voice on the phone said, "Were you driving two people around one o'clock last night, one of whom jumped out of your car halfway? You're aware of this incident, right?"

"Yes, I'm aware. His companion told me about it," Li Huaiqing quickly replied.

"The one who jumped is now in the hospital in critical condition. You need to come to Baishan District Traffic Police Squadron Two right away."

What? Li Huaiqing was shocked and, disregarding everything else, hurriedly drove straight to the squadron.

"The other party's family members have filed a report against you. Your car needs to be impounded, and you'll need to clearly explain yesterday's events on this side."

Days flashed by, and the incident turned out to be a bolt from the blue for Li Huaiqing and his family, shattering their peaceful life.

His car was impounded, and the traffic police had already started an investigation; he had no clue how much compensation would be required.

Fortunately, his taxi was insured, which somewhat eased the situation, but now he couldn't work, and he worried about what would happen to his family.

As he was consumed with these worries, someone else came knocking.

"Li Huaiqing, right? We are from the Baishan District Public Security Bureau. You were involved in an incident where a young person jumped out of your car while you were driving, weren't you?" the entering officers began.

Li Huaiqing nodded and then said, "But I didn't know at the time. He jumped out of the car window, and I didn't realize..."

"You don't need to explain that, the other party's family has filed a report, and now you are under suspicion of negligent injury. We are issuing a summons in accordance with the law. This is the summons letter, please come with us."

At home, Li Huaiqing's wife Feng Caixia was dumbfounded, while Li Huaiqing's lips trembled, unsure of what to say.

What could he say? It was a complete disaster. Not only did they not pay the fare, but they also jumped out of the car, and now he was going to be jailed?

However, faced with the public security authorities, he could only shakily follow them out.

Li Huaiqing's son was already dealing with some issues and now was inside, leaving two children behind for him to care for, and now he was about to be arrested himself.

But why? He had no idea the passenger would jump out of the vehicle, much less that such a consequence would follow!

Li Haiqing's wife Feng Caixia didn't know what to do. Her husband being arrested was like the sky falling down on her.

What should she do? Should she hire a lawyer... but her family couldn't afford one right now.

During the hospitalization of the injured party, her husband had visited and even offered money, originally intending to wait for the insurance company to deal with it, but now he was facing jail time.

Having no other choice, she decided to ask around her neighbors. Their family wasn't from Hanbei Province but had come from Hanbei Province to Dongfang City for work.

Ten minutes later, hearing the name from her neighbors' mouths, Feng Caixia said, "Is Lawyer Tang really that good? But would he help me?"

"You should send him a message. That's all you can do now. But Lawyer Tang is really warm-hearted. If you explain the situation clearly, he'll probably help you..." the neighbor replied.

He had heard of Tang Fangjing because a relative of his had been helped by Tang Fangjing, or rather, many migrant workers in Dongfang City had received help from Tang Fangjing!
