Chapter 258 Compensation
Li Zhenhua's secretary Xiao Wang hurried into the office holding a pile of file bags, "Commander, Li Huaide has a distant nephew who works in the security department of the steel rolling mill. Here is his transcript..."
Li Zhenhua put on his reading glasses and suddenly stopped flipping through the transcript - Li Weiguo's confession mentioned that Lou Bancheng's home was searched, and the security department of the steel mill did not let any of the homes of other original shareholders of the steel mill go, and they also recovered many "valuable items" hidden by these people through tracking and surveillance. Moreover, Li Huaide did not record many of these things, nor did he put them in the warehouse that was searched later!
"Go check the police report of Li Huaide's family immediately!" Li Zhenhua stood up suddenly, and the hem of his military uniform knocked over the teacup. "Go and interrogate Jia Geng's accomplices, especially the ones who have the best relationship with him. They are very likely the ones who stole from Li Huaide's house."
"Yes." Xiao Wang turned and left.
Not long after, the news came back. Li Zhenhua nodded after listening to the report. "That's right. Tom got the benefit. It's obviously the money that was stolen. We dare not report it to the police openly, so we can only retaliate secretly. But you can retaliate if you want. You shouldn't use my son as a raft. Since you dare not make it public, I will do it for you."
Li Yuanchao's mother came in with a bowl of fish soup and just happened to hear what Li Zhenhua said. She said, "If you make it public, our son will go to jail."
"Don't worry, as long as the other party doesn't pursue it, Yuan Chao won't be in big trouble. At most, he will be detained for a few days, which is just enough to control his temper. Jia Geng is a thief and a gang fighter. He is not a clean person. If he was a good boy, it would be unfair for me to deal with him like this, but now..."
"Just be aware of this. Don't ruin your son's future. He's almost old enough. Let him join the army this year so he doesn't have to stay at home and get into trouble."
"Tomorrow you go to the hospital and talk to Jia Geng's mother Qin Huairu to see what conditions she has. It doesn't matter if she wants a job or to join the army, as long as it's not excessive."
The smell of disinfectant filled the inpatient department of the People's Hospital. Li Yuanchao's mother Zhou Xiumin, wearing shiny calfskin shoes and carrying a gift bag with the "Friendship Store" logo, walked to Ward 34 accompanied by a guard. As soon as she turned the corner, she heard a sharp cry piercing the corridor.
"Damn you, you bastard from the compound! You stabbed my grandson's intestines out!" Jia Zhang sat slumped at the door of the ward, her gray hair disheveled, her dirty blue shirt stained with traces of snot or tears, "The Jia family has only one son for three generations! This is going to wipe out the family!"
Zhou Xiumin paused, and the guard whispered, "Madam, this is Jia Geng's grandmother."
"This elder sister..." Zhou Huimin had just opened her mouth when Jia Zhang suddenly jumped up and poked her nose with her dead tree-like finger: "It was your son who stabbed my grandson?"
The corridor suddenly became quiet, and the family members who were accompanying the patients poked their heads out from the wards. The nurse at the nurse station tried to persuade them, but was glared at by Jia Zhang and retreated back.
"Calm down first." Zhou Xiumin signaled the guard to put down two cans of food and two barrels of malted milk, as well as a lot of snacks and fruits. "We are here to solve the problem..."
"Solved?" Jia Zhang took the things behind her and said, "My grandson's stomach was cut open and his internal organs were gone! Who are you trying to fool with these dog food?"
Zhou Xiumin clenched her handbag tightly, her nails almost breaking the leather. She remembered her husband's instructions and suppressed her anger: "If you have any requests, please let us know. We will try our best to meet them."
Jia Zhang's triangular eyes lit up, and her crying stopped abruptly. She held up three fingers: "First, arrange an office job for my grandson; second, arrange a courtyard house for our family; third, another thousand yuan for nutrition expenses," she glanced at the Omega watch on Zhou Huimin's wrist, "fourth, ..."
The crowd gasped. Zhou Huimin laughed in anger: "Do you know what a thousand yuan means? It's ten years' salary for an ordinary worker!"
"Too much?" Jia Zhang suddenly walked towards Zhou Xiumin, "Come and see! State officials are bullying the common people!" Her fat body was about to hit Zhou Xiumin, but the guard hurriedly stopped her.
The door of the ward creaked open, and Qin Huairu held onto the door frame and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, stop making trouble..."
"Shut up, you unlucky guy!" Jia Zhang slapped him back, "If you hadn't hooked up with Li Huaide, would my grandson have learned to be a bad person?"
Zhou Xiumin looked at the bright red palm print on Qin Huairu's face, and sympathy rose in her heart. Then she looked at Jia Zhang's greedy face, and she was extremely disgusted. She didn't intend to talk to this rude old woman, and said to Qin Huairu: "You are the child's mother, you have the right to make the decision, tell me your request."
Just as Qin Huairu was about to speak, Jia Zhang pushed her aside and said, "This is the only child of my Jia family, and it was stabbed by her son. If she doesn't follow the conditions I said, it won't work. If you dare not listen to me, you can go back to your Qinjiazhuang. My Jia family doesn't want a daughter-in-law like you."
Qin Huairu covered her face and acted innocent again, but she was actually very happy in her heart. She liked Jia Zhangshi acting like this in front of others, as it showed that she was reasonable. Moreover, the higher Jia Zhangshi asked for, the more room for negotiation she had.
But Zhou Xiumin didn't understand the daily operation of this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. When she saw that the Jia family was headed by such a fat woman who didn't care about anything, she knew what else to say. If they couldn't reach an agreement, she would just resort to some tricks. Zhou Xiumin turned and left, leaving Qin Huairu with a confused expression.
In the afternoon, two police officers came to the police station, and a young one handcuffed one of Banggeng's hands to the head of the bed.
This made Jia Zhang very distressed. When she saw her grandson handcuffed to the bed, she immediately rushed over like a hen with its feathers standing on end, and tried to tear off the uniform of the young policeman: "You bastards! My grandson is still sick! His intestines have been stitched with 34 stitches, you are trying to kill him!"
Qin Huairu covered her face and cried "woohoo", but she spread her fingers slightly to peek at the police's reaction. She was secretly happy: Let's make a fuss, the bigger the better, it would be best if we could get everyone in the hospital to watch the fun!
The young policeman was scratched by Jia Zhang, leaving two bloody marks. He shouted with a dark face: "Old lady, if you interfere with public affairs again, I will handcuff you and take you away!"
"Cuff me? Come on!" Jia Zhang sat on the ground, opened her collar, and patted her chest, "If you dare, hit me here! Let everyone see how the police bully us, an orphan and a widow!"
The outside of the ward was full of patients and their families who were watching the excitement, pointing and talking. Qin Huairu saw that the time was almost right, so she "weakly" stood up with the help of the bed, and said with red eyes: "Public security comrade, my son is still running a fever, can you... can you remove the handcuffs first? I guarantee he can't run away..."
The young police officer hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Jia Zhang stood up with her arms propped up and said, "No! Just untying the handcuffs is enough?" She glared with her triangular eyes and spitted, "He has to pay compensation! My grandson has suffered so much, he has to pay at least fifty yuan... no, a hundred yuan!"
Qin Huairu's heart tightened immediately. This old woman was really making a fuss regardless of the occasion or the person. "Mom! Please don't do this..." She turned to the police, tears welling up in her eyes, "Comrade, my mother loves her child, please don't take it to heart..."
The young police officer didn't say anything. The old police officer behind him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you understand? There are all kinds of people in the world. This is why people are all different. Not everyone deserves sympathy. You can't have sympathy for criminals. You also have to be wary of the criminals' families. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked."
