Capítulo 916: Chapter 916: Resolution
Huo Zijin fell silent for a mont and said, “Rest assured, I won’t run away. Whatever needs to be compensated will be compensated.”
The man was still aggressive, “I don’t care! You take out the money first! Otherwise, when we reach the hospital, the dical expenses will be thousands, even tens of thousands. How can we afford it! If my wife has any complications because her treatnt is delayed, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Beside him, a young nurse perford a simple check on the woman and was startled, “This pregnant woman has high blood pressure!”
The man said, “How could she have high blood pressure?! My wife’s always been healthy. It must be the shock from the car accident that spiked her blood pressure!”
The nurse chuckled in anger, “This high blood pressure has been there for a while and has nothing to do with the car accident!”
Upon assessnt, they found that the car accident was nothing but a minor scrape, just a bit of superficial injury, but upon asuring her blood pressure, it turned out to be hypertension.
A pregnant woman with high blood pressure—this is no joking matter!
The nurse, a bit annoyed, said, “You must be this pregnant woman’s husband, sir! Do you know your wife has high blood pressure? And at her age, having a child is very dangerous for a hypertensive pregnant woman!”
Both advanced age and hypertension—it’s like stacking buffs!
The man got angry and embarrassed, “What do you an by that! Aren’t you a doctor?! My wife was injured in a car crash, and instead of treating her properly, you’re blaming ?”
He grabbed Huo Zijin’s wrist, “The perpetrator is right here! Why are you questioning instead of her? I’m not the one who hit my wife!”
The nurse said, “Your wife is all right, just a bit high in blood pressure and a bit risky.”
The man glared at Huo Zijin, “Look at what you’ve done! If it weren’t for you, would my wife have high blood pressure?”
Huo Zijin felt baffled.
It seems like she’s caught in a streak of bad luck today, encountering this strange family.
Huo Zijin patiently said, “Sir, let clarify once again, your wife’s high blood pressure wasn’t caused by my hitting her; she had it herself.”
The man said, “Take out $50,000 first, and once we reach the hospital, we’ll pay for the dical expenses, and settle the balance later!”
Huo Zijin said, “That’s not how it works.”
She wasn’t concerned about the $50,000 but felt this man was outrageously demanding!
Huo Zijin said, “If you really care about your wife, hurry up and take her to the hospital, don’t really waste any more ti!”
The man shouted, “I don’t have money, how am I supposed to take my wife to the hospital! You hit soone, you ought to compensate! $50,000 is non-negotiable!”
Huo Zijin: “My car is insured, your wife’s dical expenses, you advance first, and later I’ll coordinate with the insurance company for you.”
Man: “What insurance company, how do I know if an insurance company will pay! You take out the money first! I only have $200 on , no savings; I can’t afford all these advances for my wife!”
Even with Huo Zijin’s good temperant, she couldn’t help but get angry: “If you don’t have money, why have kids!”
The man got incensed, reaching out and gripping her neck, “No money ans I can’t have kids, is that it!? Are you saying I can’t have kids if I’m broke?!”
The woman beside him whimpered in pain, “Husband… Husband, my stomach hurts…”
She reached out, trying to grab the man’s clothing, but he, with eyes red with anger, continued to squeeze Huo Zijin’s neck, ignoring her plight!
Huo Zijin struggled a little, “Let go of ! Bastard!”
The man was extrely rude: “Who are you calling bastard! Who are you calling bastard!? Take out the money!”
The crowd around them grew larger and larger.
Watching a commotion is a natural instinct of people.
Unconsciously, the two were tightly surrounded by people.
Seeing the man behaving crazily, so rushed over to intervene.
Huo Zijin felt she was in big trouble, continually struggling.
The man didn’t really put full force into strangling her, but in the tussle, her neck felt the pressure, and she felt she was being choked painfully, “Let go, cough cough… let go…”
She realized this man just wanted to exploit the minor scraping accident to extort money from her.
Just then.
A Ghost car stopped outside the surrounding circle.
Rong Ling got out of the car.
Earlier in the car, passing by the incident site, he imdiately recognized Huo Zijin, surrounded by the crowd in the center, and instantly ordered the driver to stop the car.
Once he got out, he pushed his way through the crowd towards Huo Zijin.
In panic, the maddened man failed to notice the terrifying chill rapidly approaching him.
Rong Ling reached out, gripping his shoulder and coldly warned, “Let her go.”
The man stubbornly clinched Huo Zijin’s neck, ignoring Rong Ling’s warning as if he didn’t hear.
Rong Ling ran out of patience, clenched his fist, and slamd sharply on the man’s cheekbone.
“Bang!”
The man, caught off guard, took a punch and fell awkwardly to the ground.
Huo Zijin could finally catch her breath.
As her breathing steadied, Rong Ling walked over, reached out, and sheltered her behind him.
Huo Zijin returned to sense, looked up, was surprised to see it was Rong Ling, “Uncle Rong…”
Rong Ling looked down at her, “What happened?”
Huo Zijin cleared her throat, regulated her breathing, “I just drove past, accidentally scrapped a woman… Then, this man asked for money.”
Rong Ling said, “Didn’t the ambulance arrive?”
Huo Zijin: “He dragged her, refusing to get into the car, insisting I give him $50,000.”
Nowadays, with mobile paynt, where would she carry so much cash around?
Rong Ling sowhat grasped what was happening.
He called over the assistant, “Xiao Zhao.”
A female assistant imdiately got out of the car, walked over to his side, “Mr. Rong, what’s the matter?”
Rong Ling said, “Give the bag.”
The female assistant promptly handed him a briefcase.
Rong Ling opened the inner pocket, casually took out $20,000 cash, turned around, raised his hand, and fiercely threw the wad of cash onto the man’s face.
The man imdiately showed a greedy expression.
Just one look, and Rong Ling discerned the man must be a gambler.
Only gamblers exhibit such a look.
Rong Ling shielded Huo Zijin with one hand, while coldly warning the man, “This matter ends here. You should take your wife to the hospital first, and afterwards, the police and insurance will contact you. Subsequent compensations will be calculated separately.”
Pausing, he coldly added, “This money isn’t for compensating your wife; it’s my charity for you.”
Huo Zijin was sowhat amazed.
Rong Ling gently took her hand, “Let’s go.”
Huo Zijin: “My car…”
Rong Ling took the car keys from her and tossed them casually to the female assistant, “You stay here, wait for the police, and inform .”
The female assistant nodded, “Yes.”
