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!"
"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.
It was common to post problems online hoping for netizens' help.
