Chapter 550: Chapter 457: Court in Session! This Case Is Too Easy for Gu Chen

Netizens are still all supporting Huang Rong.

After all, in this case, Wang Zonglei has indeed gone too far.

This is simply crazy blackmail!

Using blackmail as his main tactic!

[Isn’t Huang Rong innocent? Why hold Huang Rong responsible? It wasn’t Huang Rong who knocked the old lady down, the old lady hit the suitcase herself, and then Huang Rong has to take responsibility, right?]

[Exactly, it’s disgusting. Such people hit your belongings and instead want you to take responsibility...]

[The key is that Huang Rong did not place her suitcase recklessly. Not having eyes and now asking for compensation?]

[I heard that Wang Zonglei is asking for a million in compensation...]

[Oh my, just knocked a suitcase and fell, directly asking for a million in compensation?]

[Seriously, what a brazen demand, what’s the difference between this and robbery?]

[When does the court case start? I’m backing Huang Rong!]

[Wang Zonglei should also compensate Huang Rong for lost wages and emotional distress, right? Just because of this matter, endlessly pestering Huang Rong... Lucky Huang Rong didn’t go to the hospital, why should she go to the hospital?]

[There are still too many incidents of this nature... This case can’t let Wang Zonglei win, otherwise in the future, anyone who gets sick might just hit someone else’s suitcase and expect them to pay, right?]

[Anyway, since Wang Zonglei is demanding a million from Huang Rong, I support Huang Rong winning the lawsuit!]

....

There’s not much time left until the court date.

Huang Rong’s family was all together.

Huang Rong’s father said, "This Wang Zonglei is still calling us every day, asking us for compensation, is he sick? If he wants us to pay, just take it to court, why keep calling and harassing us, I don’t know what he means."

Huang Rong’s mother said, "Why should we compensate him? His mother didn’t watch where she was going, hit the suitcase, and his son gave up treatment in the hospital, and they want us to take all the responsibility?"

Huang Rong said, "It’s okay, Mom and Dad, I’ve already hired a lawyer. Lawyer Gu is really good at lawsuits."

Huang Rong’s mother asked, "How much is the lawyer’s fee?"

Huang Rong said, "Three hundred thousand, I’ve already transferred it."

Huang Rong’s mother said, "Didn’t get a discount? Three hundred thousand in lawyer fees?"

Huang Rong said, "Yes, I hired a very skilled lawyer in the industry. He hasn’t lost a single case up to today, so I think the three hundred thousand for legal fees are reasonable. What’s most important is to have him help with the lawsuit. It’s usually not easy to hire him."

Huang Rong’s father said, "It’s fine, three hundred thousand in legal fees is okay. We just want to defend our rights. Even if we spend money hiring a lawyer, there’s no way we’re compensating Wang Zonglei’s family. As long as we win the lawsuit, let Wang Zonglei’s family pay for our lawyer fees instead."

Huang Rong said, "No worries, we’ll confront them head-on till the end!"

At this moment, Wang Zonglei’s call came in again.

Though infuriated, Huang Rong still answered the call and began recording it.

Wang Zonglei said, "Ready for a settlement? We’re in court the day after tomorrow. I’ve consulted with my lawyer, this is a very serious matter. You indirectly caused my mother’s death and are refusing compensation. It’s because you didn’t advance medical expenses that my mom died, so you’re essentially committing indirect murder. No matter what, the court might sentence you. You better think it through."

Huang Rong retorted, "What do I need to think through?"

Wang Zonglei said, "You better think carefully. I’m giving you a chance to settle now. We’re all very busy, and if the lawsuit really proceeds, withdrawing will not be easy. Otherwise, you’ll end up in jail, and you’ll have to bear the court’s legal costs. I hired a top lawyer, and the lawsuit’s cost is over a hundred thousand. You should think about it."

Wang Zonglei continued, "My mom’s gone, and it’s because of you, so you must take responsibility. I’m giving you a chance now, sixty hundred thousand for direct settlement, and transfer the money to me, or I won’t let you off. The court will pronounce you guilty, and you’ll regret it."

Huang Rong said, "Are you joking? Now it’s sixty hundred thousand?"

Wang Zonglei said, "Yeah, now this is the price. You didn’t agree to the settlement earlier and have repented now wanting a settlement? Sixty hundred thousand, not a penny less."

Huang Rong laughed, "Are you kidding me? Me wanting to settle? Who wants to settle with you? If you’re sick in the head, go get it treated. A lawsuit is a lawsuit, am I supposed to be afraid of you? What are you pretending for?"

Wang Zonglei said, "Fine, it’s this stance after hitting someone, right? My mom’s gone, so you gotta own up to this. Don’t want to pay up, is it? Just wait for jail time. If you don’t end up in jail, I’ll take your last name!"

Huang Rong said, "I hired Lawyer Gu Chen, and just the legal fees are thirty hundred thousand...."

"Beeep... beeep...."

The call was hung up.

Huang Rong was very angry, "Just keep thinking about settling with me, right? Compensate him? Not a penny will be compensated. I’m just waiting for court the day after tomorrow, I’m not afraid of anything anyway."

Huang Rong’s father said, "Indeed, he’s got issues in the head, don’t bother with him."

Huang Rong’s mother said, "Was the call recorded? Send this recording to Lawyer Gu; he’s outright threatening us for money."

Huang Rong said, "It’s okay, wait for court the day after tomorrow. I’ve been in touch with Lawyer Gu’s team. They said the chances of winning are great. I still have a lot of confidence in Lawyer Gu."
