Chapter 140 Zheng's mother kneels down, "No, you can't call the police!"
Over in the parking lot, Zheng Jie was under the protection of his bodyguards and was completely unharmed, though the scent of blood wafting through the parking lot made him knit his brows.
"Old Li, go see if Zheng Tian is dead."
"Yes."
Old Li was a former special forces soldier who had executed missions and killed before, so he remained calm while looking at the corpse on the ground that had been mangled into a pulp. He walked over to the driver's side of the car and opened the door.
At this point, the car's airbag had already deployed. Zheng Tian's head was covered in blood. Old Li placed his hand near Zheng Tian's nose; although his breathing was weak, he was still breathing.
"Boss, Zheng Tian is unconscious."
"There are no obvious fatal wounds on his body."
After checking, Old Li looked at Zheng Jie and said this. If he let the other party die right now, it would be letting him off too easily. Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.
"Call the police, and notify the 120 emergency services to come."
"Understood."
At this moment, Old Li immediately took action. Meanwhile, Mrs. Zheng had already arrived at the parking lot. When she saw the scene before her, her expression was one of disbelief.
"Zheng Jie, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Zheng rushed straight toward Zheng Jie. Seeing this, the people nearby felt their hearts skip a beat and hurriedly reached out to stop Mrs. Zheng. Zheng Jie looked at Mrs. Zheng with a calm expression.
"What am I doing? You should be asking what Zheng Tian wanted to do."
At this, Mrs. Zheng looked at Zheng Tian in the car; he was still unconscious. Immediately after, she noticed a person lying on the ground. This person was in a mangled state. Upon seeing the condition of this person, Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
Did Zheng Tian do this?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Zheng Jie, hurry up and call the police! Can't you see your brother is unconscious?"
Mrs. Zheng said this. In her eyes, her eldest son was still the most important. From beginning to end, she hadn't shown any concern for Zheng Jie or asked if he was alright. However, Zheng Jie was not surprised by this situation. On the contrary, if she had shown concern for him, Zheng Jie would have been surprised and would even have suspected she had ulterior motives.
"We have already called 120, and we have already dialed the police. Attempted murder, heh, how impressive. I'll see if Zheng Tian can survive this time."
As he spoke, Zheng Jie's tone was calm. This was his final intention: to have Zheng Tian arrested and to have Zheng Tian die. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
"No, you cannot call the police."
Mrs. Zheng suddenly realized something at this moment and hurriedly said it. If the police were called, they would know about what happened here. What would happen to Zheng Tian then?
"Zheng Jie, you cannot do this. This is your brother."
Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of anxiety. Hearing this, Zheng Jie's expression remained calm.
"Brother? My brother actually drove a car to ram me?"
"How truly..."
"If this is what a brother is, then I have no enemies in this world."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng was anxious. She clearly understood what calling the police meant. It meant her son would be thrown into Prison, and there was even a possibility of a death sentence.
For Mrs. Zheng, this was unacceptable.
"Zheng Jie, I beg you..."
At this point, Mrs. Zheng had no other options. She could only hope that the Zheng Jie before her could suppress all of this. Therefore, she took a deep breath and knelt on the ground.
Looking at Mrs. Zheng kneeling on the ground, Zheng Jie's expression was one of disdain.
Does this person realize she was wrong?
No.
She only knew that if Zheng Jie did not agree, Zheng Tian would be finished.
Zheng Jie's face was indifferent.
After all, he had transmigrated into this world, so to be honest, Zheng Jie had no feelings for them. Furthermore, these people had not treated him well either, so if Zheng Jie were to soften his heart, he would be what is known as a "holier-than-thou" hypocrite.
"Kneeling down? You actually knelt for his sake."
"If you want to kneel, then just keep kneeling."
Zheng Jie would not agree to her request.
After all, he had arranged all of this.
Soon, a sound came from not far away. It was the sound of an ambulance from the Hospital. That made sense; after all, the Hospital was closer to the Zheng Group, so it was normal for them to arrive first.
When a dozen medical personnel entered, they immediately brought Zheng Tian out from the driver's seat. Zheng Tian was still unconscious at this time. However, it had to be said that his luck was truly good; other than his head, there were no other wounds on his body. One could only say that it was indeed a luxury car brand; its ability to protect the driver was truly extraordinary.
However, it was more in Zheng Jie's interest for Zheng Tian not to die. After confirming there were no issues, the ambulance took Zheng Tian to the Hospital. Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly followed. Right now, she wanted to know exactly what Zheng Tian's condition was and if he was injured. As for other matters, those would have to be considered later.
On the way to the Hospital, Mrs. Zheng was anxious and uneasy. Looking at her unconscious eldest son, Mrs. Zheng's eyes were red. Unconsciously, tears fell. She did not understand why her son would do such a thing. Originally, if this incident hadn't happened, perhaps their lives could have gradually returned to normal. But after this incident, Mrs. Zheng knew that their lives would truly undergo earth-shattering changes.
"Doctor, what is my son's condition right now?"
Mrs. Zheng looked nervously at the doctor beside her. The doctor heard this, looked at the equipment on the ambulance, and then coughed.
"At present, his vital signs are considered normal. But whether there are no problems, we still need to go back to the Hospital to do a more comprehensive examination."
The doctor did not say for sure that there were no problems. After all, as a doctor, the most taboo thing is to say there are definitely no problems. Therefore, he only gave an ambiguous reply. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, it proved that her son's life was not in danger right now, and she could temporarily relax.
But whether there were absolutely no problems, no one dared to guarantee.
Over at the parking lot, the police had already arrived. Next, the secretary was responsible for liaising with them.
"This is the video of the other party entering our parking lot."
"It records in detail how the other party entered our parking lot, how they rammed us, and also caused our employee to pass away. Officer, we at the Zheng Group hope that you all can investigate this seriously. We will not allow any lawless maniac to escape the sanctions of the law."
The secretary's words put some pressure on the police. This was the Zheng Group, after all; they were a prestigious entity. If they didn't handle this well and the Zheng Group was dissatisfied, then these people would likely be fired from top to bottom. They also knew that the Zheng Group definitely had the ability to do that, so at this moment, they were all focusing their full attention on the matter.
"Please rest assured about this; we will not let anyone get away with it."
"Then can we communicate with Chairman Zheng? Because there are some things we may need to understand from him."
"That is possible. We are very law-abiding and are naturally willing to cooperate with the investigation. This is the mobile phone the other party left in the car; perhaps it will be of help to your investigation."
"Okay, thank you."
Inside the Zheng Group Chairman's office, Zheng Jie met with the police.
"Chairman Zheng, we are very sorry to disturb you at this time. It is like this: we have a few questions we need to ask you."
"That's fine, please go ahead."
Zheng Jie was still a relatively easygoing person, so his attitude was relatively gentle. Because of his gentle attitude, the staff felt a bit more relaxed. How to put it, they didn't want to offend Zheng Jie. After all, in his eyes, people like them were just small fry. If they offended him, they probably wouldn't have a good ending.
"It is like this: usually, what is the relationship between you and Zheng Tian?"
"To be honest, it is not very good. In fact, ever since I was born, I was sent to the countryside, and I didn't have much contact with Zheng Tian. Later, Zheng Tian went abroad, and then I returned here. Added to that is the later issue regarding the control of the Zheng Group, so we can say our relationship is not good. At the very least, he should be quite eager for me to die."
"This... understood."
The police recorded this matter in the notebook on the side. If this was the case, then they were more inclined to believe that this time it was revenge. Of course, if using more professional legal terms, it would be intentional homicide.
Moreover, although the other party did not kill Zheng Jie, he had already killed someone else, which was also intentional homicide.
After questioning for nearly 20 minutes, the people here felt there was no need to ask anything further, so they bid farewell and left. Next, they would return to watch the surveillance video and also see if there was any evidence inside Zheng Tian's mobile phone.
When the other party was preparing to leave, Zheng Jie suddenly asked.
"It is like this: Zheng Tian is still in the Hospital now. You should be sending people to watch him, right?"
When Zheng Jie spoke, his tone was calm. Hearing this, the man thought for a moment.
"Of course."
"Zheng Tian will definitely be under our surveillance from now on."
"Chairman Zheng, please rest assured."
Zheng Jie nodded.
"Good, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work; this is all our duty."
After seeing them off, Zheng Jie stood up from his chair and stretched. At this moment, the secretary walked in from outside.
"Chairman, Zheng Tian has already been sent to the Hospital."
"Good, have all traces been cleared?"
Hearing this, the secretary nodded.
"Chairman, please rest assured."
These traces were not because he feared the police would discover them, but because he didn't want the Zheng family to discover them. Otherwise, if the Zheng family found out, there might really be some trouble. In the event that they used these things to disgust Zheng Jie, they would likely succeed in doing so. Although it would only be disgusting and wouldn't affect the final outcome, Zheng Jie wanted to crush them and didn't want the other party to disgust him in the process.
"Good, keep watching."
"If there is any movement, you must tell me immediately."
Meanwhile, at the Hospital on the other side, they were currently still performing emergency treatment on Zheng Tian. Although the other party's vital signs were not having any major issues, this did not mean that there was absolutely nothing wrong.
After examination, the other party had a concussion.
Of course, this was not fatal.
The most serious issue was the fracture. Even, when the doctors were performing a series of examinations, they were surprised to discover that the other party's lower body had lost all sensation.
That is to say... Zheng Tian was paralyzed.
To be honest, for an impact of this magnitude, the final result being only paralysis could actually be considered quite lucky. This was because the protection of this car was of a high standard; if it had been even slightly worse, the other party would likely have died.
"The other party has high-level paraplegia."
So-called high-level paraplegia actually means that from the chest down, there is no sensation at all. Among all types of paralysis, this paralysis is the most severe, without any exception.
If this was the case, it meant that for the rest of his life, this person would only be able to lie in bed or sit in a wheelchair, needing someone to take care of him for his whole life. If he wasn't taken care of, he would die.
Moreover, if he was often lying down or sitting, even if the care was inadequate for a single second, it would trigger a series of complications. Most importantly, the follow-up treatment would be quite expensive.
"Are there any other problems?"
"Everything else is fine, just some organ injuries, but they are all minor issues and not a problem."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
"You continue the emergency treatment here."
"I will go and tell Mrs. Zheng about this matter."
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said this.
"Okay."
Outside, Mrs. Zheng was pacing anxiously. Although the doctor had just said that his vital signs were not having any issues, when she saw her son enter the emergency room, that feeling of anxiety and unease surged in her heart once again.
This feeling made Mrs. Zheng extremely uncomfortable and extremely panicked.
Just at this moment, the emergency room door was opened.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
Seeing the doctor come out, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly stood up, her tone full of anxiety.
"Mrs. Zheng, let me briefly tell you about the patient's condition. After our examination, the patient has a severe concussion and a comminuted fracture of the lumbar spine, which has damaged the nerves. That is to say, the patient is now..."
"High-level paraplegia."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's face was full of disbelief.
High-level paraplegia?
That is to say...
At this moment, Mrs. Zheng suddenly felt the world go black before her eyes. The next second, Mrs. Zheng lost all consciousness.
This is the body's protection for a person. Because it knows that you cannot accept such a result, in order not to let you suffer too great a shock, it will choose to make you faint.
Seeing this situation, the doctor panicked.
"Nurse, Nurse."
After all, the person inside had not been saved yet, and if something else happened outside, that would be troublesome.
