Chapter 298: Chapter 127: I Just Like This Kind of Face-to-Face Feeling!_3
But then Fu Qiuying had a thought about the other party's "evidence"... This brain really seems to have a problem, what the heck!
Leaving aside the fact that Fu Qiuying was starting to cooperate with the investigation, Dong Liping's family also felt indignant.
If you can find a lawyer, so can I; these days who can't find a lawyer?
It wasn't long before they consulted a local lawyer in Dongfang City.
"I've seen this thing online before, my thinking is like this, let's set aside criminal considerations for the moment and focus on the civil part," the lawyer suggested.
"When your son jumped out of the car, he had a companion, right? Since his companion didn't manage to hold him back, you could claim negligence on his part," the lawyer continued.
"Another thing, after knowing your son had jumped out, the driver left him there and drove off without calling for emergency services or the police. This can also be grounds to claim that he failed to fulfill his rescue duties."
With the lawyer's advice, Dong Liping's family immediately started to approach Li Huaiqing, demanding compensation.
Asking money from the son's friend was embarrassing, but asking from Li Huaiqing was not a problem. Discover hidden stories at M V L
At home, Li Huaiqing faced Dong Liping at the door, saying, "Then you can go to the insurance company; my policy covers everything, and the insurance is currently processing..."
However, Dong Liping cut him off, "I don't care about the insurance or not; you didn't provide timely assistance when it happened, so you have to take responsibility; I've asked a lawyer!"
Li Huaiqing panicked, how could he take responsibility? Taking responsibility meant money.
"No, my wife has already given you money, and I haven't asked for it back, isn't that enough? I do not have a single penny to spare now."
"Stop making noise at my doorstep, if you keep it up I'm calling the police!"
At the mention of calling the police, Dong Liping became even more angered, "Then you call, I don't believe it, can the police arrest me? Call them!"
"You say you have no money, but then you hire a fancy lawyer? Don't think I don't know, lawyers like that are very expensive, you must have money!"
Li Huaiqing, upon hearing this, got agitated, "Lawyer Tang is doing public welfare, representing me for free!"
Feng Caixia called the police from inside, and as both parties argued, the police arrived.
After hearing the specifics, they suggested, "Ms. Dong, this is a civil dispute. I recommend that you file a lawsuit in court, understand?"
"Don't argue in front of people's houses, that's illegal."
Eventually, after much persuasion, the police managed to make Dong Liping's family leave, and Li Huaiqing sat on the sofa, looking lost.
Why wasn't this over yet? Even after the criminal case had finished, they were still demanding money from him.
After some thought, he decided to ask Lawyer Tang for advice.
In a hotel room, Old Tang was on the phone with Li Wanting.
"Wanting, before you've been treated well by me, right? I've led you on cases and provided you with clients, haven't I?" Old Tang said with a smile.
Li Wanting hesitated in her casual clothes, "Brother Tang, are you asking...?"
Old Tang laughed out loud, "Wanting, I knew we were on the same wavelength. You see, I have some material here that needs a video edited just like the ones I upload online—the ones you've helped me with before. Remember? Do me a favor this time, and I will provide you with clients after this, how about it?"
Li Wanting: "6."
What else could she say besides "6"? She saw him as Brother Tang, and Brother Tang treated her like an exemplary worker, although editing videos was no good deed, it was exhaustingly hard work.
"Fine, Brother Tang, I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?" Li Wanting said with resignation.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, "Brother Tang, I recall you studied computer science, right?"
"Yeah, I did study computer science, but computer science and video editing are two different things, I'm counting on you now, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
"That's more like it."
As they were chatting, the phone rang again. Old Tang glanced at it, and saw that it was Li Huaiqing calling.
There was no surprise, he had anticipated that the guy would definitely get in touch.
"Hello, what's up? They came knocking, did they? Oh, next time, if they bother you again, just tell them they've slandered you online," Old Tang advised.
"Yeah, remember all those past incidents? There were a lot of people cursing you online, so use that against them, and if that doesn't work, sue them."
Old Tang wasn't a heartless scoundrel; after all, the other party's son was seriously injured, so he hadn't planned to use this as leverage for now, especially with an insurance company also involved.
But if they kept coming to the house causing trouble, then he would have to resort to that.
In Dongfang City, Li Huaiqing hung up, feeling relieved. Although Lawyer Tang hadn't clarified what slander was, and he didn't understand, Lawyer Tang's words must have had some reasoning behind them.
Time quickly moved to the next day, and as expected, Dong Liping's family showed up again.
"Compensation, you say? Let me tell you, you've slandered me online. If you keep this up, I'm going to sue you!" Li Huaiqing blurted out.
"I've slandered you? You're talking nonsense; when have I slandered you online? On the contrary, you are the one who refuses to pay the compensation due, right?"
"I'm telling you, if you don't pay up, my family will stay at your place and eat here!"
Dong Liping was defiant; she didn't believe she had slandered, or more accurately, she didn't even know what slander meant.
