The dump truck driver was driving under the influence and ran a red light; he has been detained, and the injured is currently being resuscitated at the hospital. Other details are still under investigation.
Once this announcement came out, many people had already made up their minds; this was definitely not as simple as a traffic accident!
"It's the dump truck again, and drunk driving on top of that, not to mention the unfinished building whose truth is nearly uncovered. If this is just a traffic accident, I swear I'll eat that damn dump truck!" Ju Haiqing transformed into a keyboard warrior, roaring with rage online.
After all, he's just an internet novelist; he doesn't need to think too much—just to maintain his readers' support is enough; everything else is crap!
Lian Hongyu was also tending to her husband at the hospital. Seeing the news, tears streamed down her face—she was certain it was those people's doing! Official source is N()velFire.net
A few days ago, Lawyer Tang had reminded her to be wary of their underhanded tricks since she was hitting them where it hurt.
She had been extra cautious these past few days, but, to her surprise, they went straight for Lawyer Tang.
Thinking of the distrustful property owners, Lian Hongyu felt like cursing them out!
On the other end, Old Yu, who had just taken a break, was likewise stunned by the news. Already feeling guilty about a past incident, he now wished he could slap himself.
Although he had indeed paid money and the other party had taken on the case as a lawyer... alas.
"Lawyer Tang, you must hold on..."
The same plea was also voiced by Luo Duancheng, Li Lao Er, and other migrant workers sitting in the hospital corridor, restlessly standing up from time to time to check the situation.
Upon seeing the news, they had immediately taken leave to ask which hospital Tengda's people were in and then came over to see if there was anything they could help with.
After arriving, they found there was no way to help. The deposit for the law firm was sufficient, and the person was in the intensive care unit, completely out of sight.
But they were anxious at heart and so they waited outside.
Gradually, the number of people waiting outside the intensive care unit grew—Lian Hongyu was asking the nurses in a low voice, while Ju Haiqing was frantically typing on his cellphone, eyes filled with urgency as he watched the inside.
Some owners from the Victoria Gardens residential complex had also arrived—no one is a fool.
Although their case had been handled by lawyers before, it was just going through the motions at court, with no result, and they had to pay a considerable amount of attorney fees.
But now, the developers' boss had been put away, and Lawyer Tang's lawsuit had reached a critical juncture. Then, an incident occurred.
People from the Yuefu Residential Complex had come too; Old Liu, accompanied by his wife and children, Zhao Ruixia, Old Man Wang, and others had all arrived.
Although Old Tang did all those things for a system task, many people have a scale in their heart.
A nurse glanced outside, at the corridor and stairwell, all filled with people wearing anxious expressions.
She was quite puzzled: "Didn't Lawyer Tang say his parents passed away and he had no family? Why are so many people waiting for him? There are more people here than when some officials are hospitalized."
The nurse beside her shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Miss Xiao Yan kept her distance, sneaking glances at the crowd waiting outside. Suddenly she realized that although Tang Brother had no relatives, and was in the late stages of cancer, he was immensely powerful in that moment...
The law enforcement authorities had already begun to trace up from the dump truck driver. Just as Ju Haiqing said, what era is this to still play such tricks, with too many suspicious points!
The modern investigative technology had already surpassed many people's imagination.
The drunk driving dump truck driver insisted that his actions were accidental, too drunk to watch the road, and only realized there was someone in front of him when it was too late to brake.
What he constantly repeated was that he had pressed the brake.
However, after interrogating him once, the law enforcement authorities didn't pay attention to his claims and began their investigation from the dump truck itself, from his personal belongings, and his bank card information, call logs, and so on.
The veteran detectives were well-versed in these matters; if you did something, it was impossible not to leave traces.
Especially under such a turbulent public opinion, the senior leaders also emphasized the need for a speedy resolution of the case!
In just a few hours, the case had been thoroughly investigated.
Mainly, it was found that the drunk driving driver was not only under the influence of alcohol—he was also high!
A search twirling up the drunk driver's home uncovered an exceptionally new cache of more than three hundred and ninety thousand in cash, one stack of which had been torn open, with several thousand missing.
Upon inquiring with the driver's friends, it became known that the driver originally abused drugs, and never had any money; any money he got went into his habit.
Further investigation of surveillance footage revealed that the money had been taken home by him just the previous afternoon.
Armed with so much evidence, on interrogating him again, the veteran detective directly said:
"Now, I'm giving you one last chance. If you come clean, you might be considered for leniency. But if you don't say, and we find out later, you'll be dealt with severely!"
"If it's proven that you intended to kill, considering the current severity, you can weigh the consequences for yourself..."
After many entreaties, the dump truck driver finally spoke up: "I'll talk. It was Wang Yanlong. He gave me money yesterday to, to teach Tang Fangjing a lesson..."
"He also said that if Tang happened to die unlucky, he would give me another two hundred thousand after I got out."
This name was not unexpected; the police had already started their surveillance.
Within Yide Company, Wang Yanlong was watching the online outcry and feeling restless. In fact, since Li Shuwei's whitewashing, he hadn't done much in many years.
Fights and killings are not the ways of the streets; making money is everything!
Particularly in the past few years, with the special crackdown on gangs and local tyrants, people like them had been questioned in various ways, each becoming as obedient as anything.
