After Liu Liming visited Lao Qiang in the hospital, he called him again the next day to ask about the outcome of their discussion. After understanding the situation, he reported to Xia Yiran to discuss the next step.
When Lao Qiang received Liu Liming's call, Gao Hua and Gao Hua were playing cards with them in the ward. In order to prevent the people around him from hearing the sound in the receiver, Lao Qiang pressed the phone to his ear.
"Mr. Lao, how is your discussion going? Can you consider signing a letter of understanding?" Lawyer Li asked.
"Oh, don't do this," Lao Qiang said loudly and deliberately.
"Why? Is it because the money is too little? One million is a lot of money. We are very sincere here."
"Oh, if you don't want it, you just don't want it, don't say so much." Lao Qiang replied.
"If you have any other requirements, feel free to mention them. We can easily discuss them. As long as you are willing to sign a letter of understanding."
"I told you, if you don't want it, just don't want it. Just leave it like that. I'm busy." After finishing speaking, Lao Qiang hung up the phone and kept mumbling:
"These salespeople are really troublesome. They even said they don't want to do it anymore, and they keep pestering them."
Gao Hua glanced at Lao Qiang and said:
"You deserve it. Who asked you to give him nonsense? Just hang up."
"That's right, don't answer calls like this in the future." Li Ping also echoed.
After hearing Lao Qiang's nonsensical answer, Lawyer Liu was very puzzled. Isn't it just a matter of staying in a hospital? Is there anything else you have to do? He said you don't want it, but does it mean you don't need money? He simply said he didn't want to sign.
No, that's it. In desperation, Lawyer Liu could only report the negotiation situation to Xia Yiran.
"If they don't refuse outright, I think giving money is also a way. Since one million can't solve the problem, then two million." Xia Yiran said thoughtfully, holding his chin.
"Is two million too much? Now, no matter what kind of accident it is, compensation for one life is only one million." Lawyer Liu considered the problem from a professional perspective.
"Problems that can be solved with money should be solved with money as much as possible. Go to the hospital again and tell them the amount of two million in person and see their reaction."
"Okay, I'll go right away. The last time I told Lao Qiang one million, his eyes were already gleaming."
"Well, that means they still care about money."
"But why did they suddenly say no?"
"Don't worry about it. Just go and take a look." After sending Liu Liming off, Xia Yiran walked to the window and dialed Xu Wen's number.
"Awen, how's your investigation on that car going?"
"The car incident has been found out. It has nothing to do with the owner. Now we have traced a security guard from Jiangkai Real Estate. He should be related to this matter."
"It is indeed the Shen family, that's right."
"What did you say right?"
So Xia Yiran told Xu Wen carefully about Lawyer Liu's meeting with Lao Qiang. After hearing this, Xu Wen said:
"Lao Qiang must have told the Shen family about the one million, and I guess the Shen family will agree to it. If you ask Lawyer Liu to add another million, I guess the Shen family will also follow suit."
"If you add this a few times, will there be conflicts between them? After all, millions is not a small amount for ordinary people."
"Try it, it should work, money can make people crazy."
After ending the call, Xu Wen and Xia Yiran had confident smiles on both ends of the phone.
Lawyer Liu knocked on the door of the ward. Lao Qiang and Gao Hua were eating in the ward. They put two bedside tables together in the middle of the two beds, and the four of them sat on the beds on both sides and were eating.
Drinking loudly.
Gao Hua heard the knock on the door and thought it was the nurse coming to teach them a lesson again, so he said impatiently:
"If it's okay, don't come in."
When Lawyer Liu heard someone inside agreeing, he opened the door and walked in. When he saw the situation in the room, he stood there dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
"Who are you? What do you do?" Gao Hua asked angrily when he saw that he was not a nurse.
"I am Xu Wen's lawyer and I came to Mr. Lao Qiang to discuss something." Lawyer Liu replied.
Hearing that Lawyer Liu said it was from Xu Wen's side, Gao Hua immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up. He walked to the door and backed away from Lawyer Liu and said:
"Go, go, we won't talk to you, just wait and go to jail."
Before Lawyer Liu could answer, Gao Hua had already pushed him out of the door. Gao Hua followed Lawyer Liu out of the ward and closed the door of the room. Then he grabbed Lawyer Liu by the collar and said:
"Get out! Don't ask me to see you again."
"You, who are you? How could you do this to me? I'm a lawyer!"
"I'll say it again, if you don't want to be beaten, get out of here!" Gao Hua said and pushed Lawyer Liu away.
Lawyer Liu took several steps back in the corridor. When he saw Gao Hua's fierce look, he didn't dare to argue with him anymore, so he turned and walked downstairs.
When they got to the bottom of the ward building, the more Lawyer Liu thought about it, the more something was wrong. The last time he came here, only Lao Qiang and his wife were there. How could there suddenly be two gangster-like people this time? What do they do? Why not let them go?
See Lao Qiang yourself?
Lawyer Liu smoked a cigarette in the garden downstairs, thought for a while and sent a text message to Lao Qiang on his mobile phone.
"Mr. Lao, if you are not satisfied with the compensation of one million, we are willing to increase the compensation to two million. As long as you sign the letter of understanding, the money will be sent to you immediately."
After a while, Lawyer Liu received a text message reply from Lao Qiang.
"Think about it, don't come to the ward again, and don't make phone calls."
Lawyer Liu's heart skipped a beat when he received Lao Qiang's text message. He didn't go to the ward? Didn't make a phone call? Could it be that Lao Qiang was being monitored? Who were these people? What was their purpose? Thinking of this, he quickly reported the situation to Xia Yi
Then a report was made.
After Xia Yiran listened to Lawyer Liu's report, in order to prevent Lawyer Liu from being in danger, he said to him:
"Just listen to Lao Qiang, don't go to him or call him, just use text messages to contact him. If he texts you back and says the money is small, you can increase the amount to three million."
"But, if those people look at Lao Qiang, we won't be able to sign the letter of understanding?" Lawyer Liu said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, signing the letter of understanding is not our ultimate goal."
"But the court will be held in a month. If we can't reach an understanding, Mr. Xu will be sentenced. It's best if we can solve the problem before the trial."
"Well, I know. We need to solve the problem before the trial. We must not let their conspiracy succeed."
"Conspiracy? What conspiracy?" Lawyer Liu asked puzzledly.
Xia Yiran did not answer Lawyer Liu's question. She was thinking about how Lao Qiang would react after knowing that he was promised two million here. Will he continue to ask for money from the Shen family? What will happen to the Shen family?
