The deceased's son, whose nickname was Er Fu, snorted and said, "Yes, you have to give us an explanation! I won't waste time with you. Listen carefully. My father can't be killed by your wife for nothing. Hmph. He's already dead. You won't pay for it. We won't make things difficult for you. Pay 1.5 million yuan and we'll settle this privately. As long as you pay 1.5 million yuan, everything will be fine. We'll conduct the funeral and you can go home. We won't have anything to do with each other from then on. 1.5 million yuan! Not a single cent less, unless your family is very poor. But your wife drives an Audi, so your family must be rich … "
Yao Xuefei didn't drive the company's bus today. Instead, she drove her own Audi A4L. The reason for her choice was very simple. First, she was used to driving it. Second, it was comfortable. As for the gas, she could just let the city station reimburse her. In the end, her A4L fell into the eyes of Er Fu. He thought that she was a rich fat sheep that could be slaughtered as he pleased. Hence, he demanded an exorbitant price of 1.5 million yuan, or at least a million yuan. He did not consider whether his dead father was worth a million yuan, nor did he consider how his father had died.
Li Ruixin knew that there was no reason to reason with Er Fu and these people. There was no point in arguing with them. Now that they wanted to take advantage of the deceased to make a fortune, it was as if they were on steroids. They only saw money in their eyes. The so-called 'seeking an explanation for the deceased' was just for money. Since that was the case, there was nothing to say to them.
However, he didn't reject them directly. Otherwise, if he angered them, he didn't know how many foul words they would spew. They might even act shamelessly. These people were best at playing tricks like "I'm in the right when I'm poor", "I'm in the right when I'm weak", and "I'm in the right when I'm dead". Moreover, he wanted to show weakness first to numb them a little and prevent them from causing any more trouble. Therefore, he said, "We can settle this privately, but don't get agitated. No one could have predicted that something like this would happen. You have to give us some time to mentally prepare ourselves. Now that my wife has been arrested, she's scared out of her wits. Her mind is in a mess and she's dumbfounded. Wait a moment, I'll discuss it with her and see how we can compensate you. "
When Yang Xi heard Li Rui call Yao Xuefei "my wife", his expression did not change and he looked natural. He was secretly amused. He did not expect this Brother Li to be so good at acting.
Hearing Li Rui's words, Er Fu and the other two looked much better.
The woman didn't shout anymore. She just curled her lips and said, "So what if your wife is arrested? That's still considered good. Compared to my uncle who was knocked to death, she's considered lucky. I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up and come up with a price. If it's not enough, then there's no need to talk. Otherwise, your wife can just wait to go to jail. "
The man who also called the deceased uncle seemed to be a couple with this woman. When he heard this, he said, "That's right. It's still too easy for you to settle this privately. If it was made public, not only would your wife have to compensate for the loss of life and funeral expenses, but she would also have to bear legal responsibility. Then, she would be sentenced. Hmph, you have to consider carefully whether you want your wife to go to jail. If she goes to jail, how will your family live for the next few years? "
Li Rui smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Don't be impatient. We'll discuss it now. But you're standing here. It's really hard for us to talk. Can you please go back first? Since we're here, we don't plan to run away. Don't worry. "
Er Fu looked at him gloomily and said, "You'd better hurry up and come up with an acceptable price. Don't try to play tricks. I'm telling you, this case has already been determined. The responsibility is on your wife. Don't try to push the responsibility away. You can't push it away. Don't think that we're old farmers. We have a strong backer. If I tell you, you'll be scared to death. "
Li Rui smiled and asked, "Oh, is that so? Then tell me. I really want to know who your backer is. "He thought to himself," Is he talking about the half-bald man? " That person sounded like the leader of the traffic police, but he was wearing plain clothes.
Er Fu sneered and said, "I'm afraid that I'll scare you to death. I'd better not say it. You just need to understand one thing. In Wen An, there are not many people who have a stronger backer than us. If you're smart, you'd better pay the money quickly. After paying the money, we'll let you go. Everyone will live a good life. If you don't admit it, your wife won't be able to leave. Hmph. " After saying these words of warning, he turned around and returned to their camp with the other two people with a smug look on his face.
Li Rui secretly despised him and watched him walk away. However, he inadvertently found that the camp of the deceased's family seemed to have just increased. Roughly counting, there were about 20 people. It turned out that the whole family had come to seek justice for the deceased old man. Alas, it was fortunate that Yang Changjian was here today. Otherwise, based on today's situation, Xuefei would definitely not have an easy time. The traffic police would probably be afraid of this group of deceased's family members.
Li Rui was afraid that Yang Xi would misunderstand his words just now, so he turned around and explained to her, "We can't settle this privately with them. Once it's settled privately, they will climb all over us and become even more lawless. They might even ask for two million yuan. What I said just now was just perfunctory. I didn't really agree. "
Yang Xi nodded and said, "I understand. Alas, unruly people come from barren hills and turbulent waters … "
At the same time, on the third floor of the traffic police office building, Yang Changjian was talking to a man in casual clothes in the instructor's office. The man was none other than the half-bald man who had told Er Fu to speak. He was the second-in-command of Wen An County's traffic police brigade and the instructor. His position in the traffic police team was second only to Yang Changjian.
"What? The deceased old man is the uncle of Secretary Gong of the county committee? Is that true? "
Yang Changjian suddenly cried out in surprise. His face was full of surprise and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
The instructor said solemnly, "What do you think? Secretary Gong's hometown is in that town. He asked his secretary to call me and personally told me to favor his uncle's family as much as possible. What can I say? How can I not agree? I can only agree. After I agreed, I wanted to say hello to you. Who knew that you wouldn't be in the office? I could only find someone to handle this matter. By the way, why are you suddenly asking about this matter? "
Yang Changjian waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me this first. Let me ask you, do you know the truth of this accident? Did the deceased crash into the car that was parked by the roadside, or did the car crash into him? "
The instructor said casually, "How would I know the truth? All I know now is that after the deceased died, the deceased's family called Secretary Gong's relative on the way to the county for help. Secretary Gong immediately told me to favor them as much as possible. Therefore, we can only believe whatever they say. Even if the deceased really crashed into the car by himself, we have to say that he was killed by that woman. "
Yang Changjian said angrily, "Nonsense! Isn't this nonsense? It's a violation of discipline and the law! If the truth of this matter gets out, both of us will have to bear the political consequences. "
The instructor raised his eyebrows and said, "The truth of the accident is not clear for the time being, but you have to understand one thing. Even if we make a mistake and favor him, if the matter really gets out, as the leaders of the brigade, we may only bear the political consequences. It's … possible! But if we don't follow Secretary Gong's instructions, then we'll definitely face the political consequences. You should know this better than me, right? Do you think I want to do this? "
Yang Changjian frowned and didn't say anything. What he said was indeed the truth. If he and the traffic police team he represented dared to go against Gong Jinshu's wishes, then they, as the two leaders of the brigade, would definitely not have a good ending. As the county's number three leader, it would be too easy for Gong Jinshu to deal with the two of them. But the problem was that doing so would go against his principles. Besides … there was a deeper reason. After a while, he said, "But that Host Yao's background isn't small either. She's a well-known host at the city's television station …"
The instructor looked arrogant and interrupted him, "So what if she's a well-known host at the city's television station? In front of Secretary Gong, she's nothing! Even if the person involved is the station head of the city's television station, he can only admit that he's unlucky to have such an opponent. "
Yang Changjian shook his head and said, "Let me finish. Host Yao herself isn't scary. What's scary is that she has a friend who's a big shot in the city."
The instructor curled his lips and said, "What big shot? Tell me about it. I want to see what kind of big shot this person is. No matter how big of a shot he is, he's only big shot in the city. How can he extend his reach to our Wen An County? "
Yang Changjian looked at his arrogant behavior and was filled with displeasure. In fact, he and this instructor had never gotten along. Of course, this was a phenomenon that existed in all government departments. The first and second in command didn't get along. One of them was a brigade leader while the other was an instructor. They were of the same rank and had their own backings. Usually, they would fight for power and profit, so naturally, there would be no lack of filth. However, no matter how fiercely the two of them fought, they still appeared to be harmonious on the surface. It was just that this instructor would occasionally show an unruly look. Naturally, he didn't take Yang Changjian, the brigade leader, seriously.
