Chapter 141 The chain of evidence is complete; Zheng Tian committed intentional homicide.

Soon, Zheng Jie received news from the Hospital.

"According to the Hospital, Zheng Tian now has a comminuted fracture of the lumbar spine, which has damaged his nerves. It is currently confirmed that he has suffered high paraplegia."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie looked up and asked instinctively, "Is there any chance of a cure?"

"No."

There are actually not many diseases that humans can successfully cure, and high paraplegia is clearly not among them.

"In that case, I am relieved."

"There is one more thing. After Mrs. Zheng learned of this, she fainted."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Have the police arrived?"

Zheng Jie was quite concerned about this, and upon hearing the question, his secretary nodded.

"The police have already arrived. After Zheng Tian leaves the Hospital, he will be under 24-hour monitoring. He won't be able to escape no matter what. Furthermore, we have already notified the Legal Department of the Zheng Group, and they will be responsible for all subsequent matters to ensure that Zheng Tian receives the death penalty."

On one hand, the situation is extremely serious, and legally it can indeed be classified as a capital offense punishable by immediate execution. On the other hand, the Zheng Group has already communicated with the relevant departments to request the death penalty with immediate execution. Therefore, Zheng Tian's death is now a foregone conclusion; there absolutely won't be any issues.

"Good, just proceed according to the plan. Do not let any other problems arise."

"Understood."

After the secretary left, Zheng Jie sat in the chairman's office chair with a calm expression. At this moment, he was looking forward to it—looking forward to the sight of Zheng Tian being sentenced to death. However, such things would only happen a few months later.

Zheng Tian's affair soon spread throughout the circle. When Zhou Ya learned of this, she dialed the phone immediately.

"Honey, are you okay?"

Zhou Ya's tone was full of concern. Hearing this, Zheng Jie shook his head.

"I am fine here."

"It's just that a staff member below died."

Hearing this, Zhou Ya let out a sigh of relief. Honestly, her relief wasn't necessarily because she loved Zheng Jie that much, but because Zheng Jie was tied to the Zhou Family. Of course, there was still some affection between the two. As the saying goes, the first person to enter one's heart is always deeply remembered.

"It's good that you're fine."

"Should I go to the company to keep you company for a while?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jie checked the time.

"No need. I don't have any problems right now. After work, I will go find you."

"Okay, you must tell me if anything happens."

"Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, before Zheng Jie could put his phone down, it rang again. It was a call from Xia Wanqing.

"Honey..."

Listening to the voice on the other end of the line, Xia Wanqing was already on the verge of tears. Hearing this, Zheng Jie smiled.

"Why are you crying? I am fine right now. Instead, Zheng Tian has been sent to the Hospital with high paraplegia."

"I was just worried. I was just worried that something would happen to you."

"Don't worry. My life is very tough; it is absolutely impossible for something to happen to me. You shouldn't overthink things on your end either. Be careful not to affect the baby in your belly, do you hear me?"

Zheng Jie comforted her, after all, she was pregnant and shouldn't have emotional fluctuations. Hearing this, Xia Wanqing nodded.

"I... I know. Then, are you going to stay with sister tonight?"

Xia Wanqing's tone was full of concern. She also knew that with such a big event, Zheng Jie would definitely need to accompany Zhou Ya, as she was the legitimate wife. Just as Zheng Jie was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a message from Zhou Ya.

"Should we have Xia Wanqing come to the Villa tonight? I reckon Xia Wanqing is also very worried about you."

Looking at the message, Zheng Jie smiled.

Zhou Ya was sensible.

"I will have someone pick you up to the Villa tonight."

"Ah, what about sister..."

"It's fine. I will talk to her."

"Okay, but if sister is unhappy, I don't mind."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Jie started chatting with Zhou Ya.

"Are you willing?"

"Of course I am. Anyway, honey, you are so capable, and I can't handle you alone. With another sister, I feel reassured. Alright, honey, just let Xia Wanqing come."

Zhou Ya thought very clearly now. Whose relationships in the entire circle were truly clean? Almost none. Furthermore, Zheng Jie was at the very top of the circle, so Zhou Ya really didn't care about such things as mistresses.

As long as she was Mrs. Zheng, as long as she had Zheng Jie's child in her belly, and as long as her child would inherit most of Zheng Jie's wealth in the future, she could actually accept it.

Moreover, she also felt that Xia Wanqing was a decent person. Although Zheng Jie gave her a company, compared to Zheng Jie's assets, it was just a drop in the bucket, and she wouldn't have any ideas about her position. Therefore, Zhou Ya hoped to establish a good relationship with Xia Wanqing. If any other restless girls appeared in the future, they could join forces to deal with them.

"Alright then, I will have them pick you up to the Villa tonight."

"Mm-hmm."

Ending the chat, Zheng Jie rubbed his slightly sore forehead.

Meanwhile, at the Hospital, Mrs. Zheng had regained consciousness.

"My son..."

"Mrs. Zheng, your son is currently still in the emergency room."

Because Zheng Tian's injury this time was relatively severe, Zheng Tian had not yet come out of the emergency room. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng frowned tightly.

"How long has it been?"

"He has been in the emergency room for five hours now. However, you don't need to worry. The surgery is currently going quite smoothly without any major issues, so you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

As a mother, with her son still in the emergency room, how could she possibly be at ease? As long as her son had not come out, she would not be at ease.

Moreover, she already knew that her son had high paraplegia. Her son already had bipolar disorder, and now with high paraplegia, she didn't even dare to imagine how she would face this. She even felt that her eldest son might choose to commit suicide.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng felt bitter in her heart.

On the other side, the rescue inside the emergency room continued. In fact, it was no longer possible for Zheng Tian to die; the doctors were just performing other minor surgeries to allow his other injuries to recover.

In fact, the job of a doctor is also manual labor. You might think it is very easy, but when you are in a surgery for several hours, you will know what it feels like to be worse than dead.

Moreover, doctors are different from other professions. Other professions might have time to slack off, but doctors cannot. The reason is simple: if you slack off or lose focus during surgery, and it affects the patient's body, you will likely be in trouble. In all likelihood, your career will be directly over.

Two more hours passed, and this emergency surgery finally ended. Next was the suturing. Reaching this step, it was done by regular doctors.

"This Zheng Family really is quite a show. The older brother kills the younger brother; they are truly crazy."

"Who is to say otherwise? If you ask me, the Zheng Family will probably have a lot of fun to watch next."

"I heard it is highly likely to be a death penalty with immediate execution. If the Zheng Group exerts pressure, it will be a death penalty with immediate execution."

These doctors, seeing that the rescue was basically over, began to chat idly. In this way, they could completely relax and relieve the fatigue from just now.

"It will definitely be pressure, after all, he tried to kill his own brother. Did you think Chairman Zheng would let the other party go?"

"Stop talking for now, hurry up and clean up. The police are still waiting outside."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

Ten minutes later, the doctor walked out of the operating room. At this time, Mrs. Zheng was already waiting here.

"Doctor, my son..."

Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of anxiety.

"The surgery was very successful, but he currently has high paraplegia, and combined with varying degrees of injury to multiple organs, he cannot be in a regular ward for the short term. He needs to be sent to the ICU for observation."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng frowned tightly, but with the situation as it was, she could only listen to the doctor.

The police officer next to her looked at Mrs. Zheng, then looked up at the doctor in front of him.

"Doctor, when can the other party begin to accept questioning?"

The police officer's tone was full of curiosity. After all, this matter was too serious, involving a death, so it counted as a criminal case, and the criminal suspect would definitely need to cooperate with the investigation.

"Looking at it now, it will take at least ten days or so. In short, it is impossible to accept questioning in the short term. Otherwise, it might cause the patient's vital signs to have problems."

The doctor's attitude was firm. They were doctors, mainly responsible for treating illnesses and saving lives. As for arresting and interrogating people, that was not their job. Hearing this, the police officer nodded.

"Okay, we know."

"We will also arrange for people to guard here during this period."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng looked up.

"My son is already like this, and you still want to monitor him? Do you have any empathy?"

Mrs. Zheng's tone was full of anger, as if the police had done something wrong.

"Mrs. Zheng, we understand your feelings, but this is our job. And your son is at least still alive, but the victim has already died. Do you know that he still has two children and parents? You say we have no empathy, but if you were the family of the victim, could you accept us having such empathy?"

The police officer's tone was also blunt. For them, they really weren't afraid of this person. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng clenched her fists.

Mrs. Zheng now had only one thought: the world was going downhill. If it were the Zheng Family of the past, these people would absolutely not have this attitude.

But unfortunately, it is not the past anymore.

At this moment, the police officer's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from the Public Security Bureau, the police officer looked at Mrs. Zheng, then went to a nearby window to answer the phone.

"It's me."

"Okay, I know. I will return immediately."

"Mm, I know. I will arrange for people to stay here; there absolutely won't be any issues."

Hanging up the phone, this lead officer gave instructions and then left with a few police officers. However, four police officers were left here. With these four police officers, the idea of Zheng Tian wanting to disappear was absolutely impossible.

The reason the other party went back was because the Public Security Bureau's investigation into Zheng Tian's phone had yielded results. Upon returning to the police station, this person hurried to the technical room.

"How is it?"

The police officer's tone was full of urgency.

"Take a look. In the browser, we found that he had been intensely searching for information related to car accidents recently. And on his short video app, there were also such searches. So, for now, we believe that he indeed had the intent to commit intentional homicide. Moreover, besides this, we also found that in the past, when Zheng Tian chatted with friends, he clearly expressed anger toward Zheng Jie, saying that if there was a chance, he would definitely take revenge."

These things were all evidence. If one linked this to him ramming into Zheng Jie, it could be classified as intentional homicide; it was just that Zheng Jie didn't die.

"How is the check on the surveillance video?"

"Checked. It is about the same as our initial judgment. Zheng Tian drove into the parking lot, stayed motionless, and then rammed into Zheng Jie after he came out of the elevator."

"So it can almost be said to be intentional homicide?"

The police officer took a deep breath and said so.

"Yes, as of now, the entire evidence chain is very complete, just missing the suspect's confession."

However, they might not necessarily get a confession.

Because this involved his own life, many people would lie or not speak. But this was not important, because in the current investigation format, there is something called 'zero-confession conviction'.

Even if you don't speak, if other evidence has no issues, then you are what you are. There is no logic where if you don't speak, you can't be sentenced. If that were the case, then I'm afraid that when the police investigate cases, all criminal suspects would not confess their criminal evidence.

"Fine, the doctors have already said that Zheng Tian probably won't be able to accept any questioning within the next ten days. Let's do this: take advantage of this time to re-confirm these things. We must ensure there are no issues to prevent the other party from not speaking."

Anyway, there was no way to conduct questioning, so they put their time into investigating evidence.

"Okay."

"If it is truly intentional homicide, the other party also involves a negative impact, and it is expected to be a death penalty with immediate execution."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other. They were clear that at this moment, there was no possibility for Zheng Tian to survive. Otherwise, did you think Zheng Jie was a pushover?

Or perhaps that Zheng Jie was kind and wouldn't retaliate?

"Mm, I guess that should be it."

"Alright, let's just be responsible for investigating the case; the rest has nothing to do with us."

The police officer said calmly. As for other matters, those were the business of other departments and had nothing to do with them.
