Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 865 - 858: Who Is the Cornea Donor? (Part 9)

Speaking of which, he thought of something and asked Assistant Wu, "What about the other workers?"

Assistant Wu said, "They all insist that it was Xin Hailong who did the hitting. Now they’ve been released, and some of them, having suffered minor injuries, are trying to take this chance to demand compensation. They’re all in the hospital undergoing check-ups now."

Ji Chicheng heard this, coldly pulled at his lips and said nothing more. He headed to the car, opened the door, and got in.

After Assistant Wu got in the car, he instructed, "To the construction site."

Assistant Wu nodded, "Okay."

...

"Ji Chicheng, the person in charge of the J.C. project, has personally gone to the scene to respond to the reporters, stating that this incident was just an accident and did not say much else. Reporters are still gathered at the site, and Ji Chicheng has already left..."

Ji Anning couldn’t sleep; she checked her phone again and again. It was almost eleven, and yet Hai City Television was still broadcasting live from the scene.

She couldn’t help but be surprised.

This was merely a civil dispute leading to an accidental death, yet it had been blown out of proportion to such an extent, creating such a commotion.

She thought, one couldn’t rule out that some business rivals might want to take this opportunity to hit them while they’re down, especially since the plot of land at Fuxing was once hotly contested by many companies.

Just as Ji Anning was speculating, her phone suddenly rang.

She pulled herself from her thoughts and glanced at it; the caller ID showed it was Ji Chicheng. She picked up the call excitedly, "Uncle, are you back?"

"Didn’t I tell you to go to sleep?"

Ji Chicheng gently scolded. Ji Anning frowned, "If I were asleep, how could I answer your call?"

Ji Chicheng immediately switched to a doting tone, "I knew you weren’t asleep."

"I saw the news; of course, I couldn’t sleep."

After saying this, Ji Anning asked worriedly, "Was the person really accidentally killed by Xin Xiaoxiao’s father?"

Ji Chicheng didn’t respond to Ji Anning’s question, soothing her softly, "I’m here with Assistant Wu to understand the situation. I’ll be back in a while. Don’t worry, sleep early."

Hearing that Assistant Wu was also there, Ji Anning felt much more at ease.

She said, "Got it. Take care outside. Remember that Fenfen has surgery tomorrow."

"Hmm."

With that, after hanging up the phone, Ji Anning finally set her phone down at ease, glanced at the small child sleeping peacefully on the bed, and then lay down on the sofa.

...

"Those few are from S City, recently hired workers from Wang Wenzhong’s civil engineering team. Upon investigation, two of them have criminal records, and the rest were unemployed drifters."

"Several other workers from different positions were asked, and they said those guys indeed kept pestering Xin Hailong relentlessly over the leaking roof issue in the dormitory. Xin Hailong, having a quick temper, argued with them, but it was his assistant who first got physical."

Having not closed his eyes all night, as day broke, after listening to Assistant Wu’s report, Ji Chicheng closed his eyes and massaged his temples. After a while, he opened his eyes and asked Assistant Wu, "Are the reporters still at the site?"

Assistant Wu nodded, "Yes, the family of the deceased have also rushed over and are causing a huge commotion at the site."

"Call the police."

Ji Chicheng coldly instructed, then said to the driver in front, "Drive back to the city."

Hearing Ji Chicheng call the police, Assistant Wu was quite puzzled, "Young Master."

Right now, with the family making such a scene, shouldn’t we first send people to calm them down?

"Call the police."
