Chapter 404: Chapter 404

"Grandpa, my sister-in-law and I are going to find Jiang Xiaoxiao!"

Wu Fei stood up. She had seen the incident just now clearly from start to finish, and the way it unfolded was completely unexpected to her.

She now fully understood in her heart that Jiang Xiaoxiao was indeed a capable person.

Just from the moment when Jiang Xiaoxiao performed the emergency rescue in front of her, it was clear that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s skills were proficient, far beyond any usual help.

She felt very guilty; she always misjudged people, and her mistakes were growing larger.

If she hadn’t initially held a mistaken view of Jiang Xiaoxiao, stubbornly pegging her as a fraud.

She wouldn’t have gone angrily to settle accounts with Jiang Xiaoxiao, which then caused such a huge mess.

Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. If it weren’t for this incident, they would never know how truly capable Jiang Xiaoxiao was, and in this regard, she knew she was wrong. Her parents had taught her that one must admit their mistakes.

Additionally, from her few interactions with Jiang Xiaoxiao, Wu Fei could understand that Jiang Xiaoxiao was actually a person with an overwhelming sense of justice.

She had her own boundaries; as long as they weren’t crossed, Jiang Xiaoxiao would certainly help with anything she could, and she would never stand by idly.

Her brother was already on the verge of death, and that was a life. She absolutely believed Jiang Xiaoxiao wouldn’t stand by, yet the fact remained that they had hurt Jiang Xiaoxiao today.

It was her turn to be embarrassed, to put aside her pride and admit her mistakes, and apologize to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

She couldn’t let grandpa do it. After all, he was getting on in age, with his reputation and status at stake.

Instead of begging the Song family, they might as well directly ask Jiang Xiaoxiao herself.

Xu Meng disapprovingly said, "Wu Fei, don’t cause more trouble. If you go, you’ll only offend Jiang Xiaoxiao even more."

She knew Wu Fei’s mouth all too well. The kid was pampered at home and always condescending to outsiders.

If she went to see Jiang Xiaoxiao, with two kids of similar age, a fight was unavoidable, let alone an apology; it would only make things worse.

Wu Fei grabbed Xu Meng, "Aunt, don’t underestimate me. Honestly, Jiang Xiaoxiao is my friend. I didn’t know she had such skills because I was never that familiar with her. I only knew some basic information about her.

Anyway, I’m closer to her than you. With me there, it’ll at least be a bit easier to talk. Instead of asking the Song family, let’s just directly plead with Jiang Xiaoxiao herself."

Xu Meng’s expression changed.

She didn’t expect Wu Fei to have such a friend.

As long as they could talk, it was better than the current situation. For the sake of her son, Xu Meng could do anything.

Xu Meng and Wu Pingjing discussed it; they couldn’t go asking for help without some sincerity.

An apology needed to be made with the right attitude.

After some discreet inquiries, they learned that Jiang Lei was still staying in the hospital room.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s biological brother, staying in the surgical ward.

It might not be easy to please Jiang Xiaoxiao, but pleasing her family was certainly a good move.

Didn’t they hear Jiang Xiaoxiao say earlier that her mom broke her leg?

And Mr. Feng said that Jiang Xiaoxiao’s mom even hit him for the sake of her daughter.

Someone like Jiang Xiaoxiao would certainly value her family greatly.

Jiang Lei was lying in the hospital room when the door was forcefully pushed open.

He thought he was unlucky to have something happen, and their factory would definitely hold the other party criminally responsible.

However, news came that the factory manager ran into trouble.

The other party wasn’t just some street thugs; they had a strong backing.

The incident that day, they assumed it was a robbery, but it turned out the other party only became arrogant after their car hit them, resulting in a fluke misunderstanding that led to injuries on both sides.

The factory manager returned and said that the family of the injured person had strong connections, and it was heard that he was also staying in this hospital.

The police found this matter tricky because the other party insisted it wasn’t a robbery, meaning their so-called self-defense was non-existent.

The other party also said they would sue them.

Jiang Lei was furious here; even if the other party was not robbing, after hitting them, a bunch of people got out with sticks, surrounded them, and demanded they unload their goods.

They smashed at their car fiercely and their arrogance was outrageous. No one would believe it wasn’t a robbery.

Good people wouldn’t directly block others with sticks while shouting crazily.

Just for that, he didn’t think the other party was good.

Besides, just because they said it wasn’t robbery doesn’t make it true?

That day, he and his colleagues heard it loud and clear.

That person said to leave the goods from the car. If that wasn’t robbery, what was it?

It’s just that they changed their tune as soon as the police got involved.

Jiang Lei was infuriated.

Moreover, the other party claimed to be seriously injured, hospitalized for observation and treatment.

Wasn’t he the one seriously injured?

He almost lost his life in the hospital.

It was obvious the other party was being shameless.

The factory manager had no choice but to suggest settling the matter somehow. The other party was willing to spend some money to calm things down, and they could pretend it never happened, just a simple brawl.

They were willing to compensate them financially.

Jiang Lei immediately disagreed. Why should he? He wasn’t involved in a brawl, and he didn’t want to be labeled as such.

Jiang Lei looked up, and Jiang Xiaoshi stood up as a man and a woman came in aggressively.

Liu Mengxin glanced at Jiang Lei with disdain.

Jiang Lei was baffled.

What kind of look was that? Did he know her?

"Speak, how much money would it take for you to settle this? You’ve already put my son in the hospital with serious injuries, which makes us even. We can give you money, just because you’re injured too. Otherwise, if we truly pressed charges, my son is seriously injured.

He has a head injury, causing whole-body fractures and could easily become paralyzed.

You can’t bear this responsibility. Serious injury is a criminal offense, and you’ll end up in jail."

Jiang Lei was shocked!

Serious injuries and paralysis?

"Auntie, are you mistaken? The person I hit that day wasn’t as severely injured as you claim. He stabbed me twice, the one seriously injured and in the hospital was me, almost dying.

I only punched him twice, and at most, I know his arm was a bit fractured. The idea that he could be paralyzed is just a joke. Please be reasonable and bring some substantiated facts."

Jiang Lei was both angry and amused.

Jiang Xiaoshi stood protectively in front of his son’s bed.

"Let me be honest with you, we can compensate you with 5000 yuan, and this matter will be over. You just need to change your statement to the police, say it was a misunderstanding, and that you all fought because of a verbal dispute.

Then you could pocket 5000 yuan for nothing. That’s a good deal, which won’t come again, considering you only earn a few dozen yuan a month. That 5000 is something you couldn’t earn in a lifetime. Now, just by changing your testimony, you can get that money."

Liu Mengxin felt that 5000 yuan was quite a lot.

Jiang Lei’s face turned red, furious they wanted to use money to change his statement.

"Get out of here; I don’t want your filthy money. It was a robbery. I saw it clear as day. Don’t try to make me change my statement."

The fiery spirit in Jiang Lei’s bones was ignited.
