Compensation of 150 million, drunk driving
"Xu Ning, do you have evidence that his grandson snatched the steering wheel?" Officer Wang walked up to Xu Ning and asked.
Xu Ning nodded, but he didn't want to show it to Officer Wang.
He was still thinking of saving this absolutely damning evidence for court, directly locking in the Old man's criminal facts.
However, Officer Wang had guessed his thoughts by then and started to persuade him.
"I know you're angry and want to send him to jail!"
"But this matter isn't that easy, and even if it goes to court, it's highly unlikely to succeed!"
"Firstly, the forty thousand he's asking for, while certainly much more than the actual loss, he can claim that he wasn't clear about the specific prices for car repairs and inspections."
"Then there's your evidence. Even if you release it then, he and the Old Lady can claim they didn't see it."
"So, in the end, they most likely won't be held criminally responsible."
Hearing Officer Wang's words, Xu Ning couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although unwilling, he had to admit that this analysis made sense.
But to just let it go like this, he was truly unwilling!
"How about this, you release the evidence, and I'll try to mediate so he pays you more money, how about that?" Officer Wang found Xu Ning's weakness and said with a smile.
Xu Ning's eyes lit up. If he couldn't do anything about the Old man, getting a bit more money was good!
After all, with the system's amplification, 100 yuan was 10 million yuan!
No need to be at odds with money!
So Xu Ning nodded and showed the video to Officer Wang.
In fact, after a previous lesson, Xu Ning had bought a miniature camera similar to a GoPro and hung it on his chest.
He didn't expect it to come in handy today.
The video clearly showed the child's hand reaching to snatch the steering wheel.
With this conclusive evidence, Officer Wang could completely control the Old man.
He called the Old man aside, laid out the facts, and reasoned with him, quickly making the Old man lose his confidence to argue.
Officer Wang's most impactful statement was: "Since it's now clear that the responsibility lies with your grandson, and as his guardian, you must bear all the losses."
"If this designated driver insists that he has a headache and gets admitted to the hospital, the hospital won't discharge him either."
"Think about it, if he stays in the hospital, how much will you have to pay for medical expenses and lost wages?"
"Anyway, I've explained everything to you; you decide!"
If the car had commercial insurance, the Old man wouldn't have to worry, as all expenses would be covered by the insurance company.
But with only mandatory traffic insurance, he would likely have to pay for everything himself.
So, no matter how unwilling, he could only try to settle the compensation privately with Xu Ning.
1500 yuan!
This wasn't Xu Ning's initiative; it was what they "voluntarily" compensated after Officer Wang scared them.
Of course, at first, the Old man only wanted to give Xu Ning 200 yuan, even thinking 200 was too much.
But Xu Ning didn't humor him at all; he immediately covered his head, claiming a headache, and threatened to call a 120 ambulance.
This scared the Old man into quickly increasing the offer.
After all, ambulances cost money, and a single trip costs hundreds of yuan!
As he received the 1500 yuan, the system's notification sound already rang in his mind.
[Congratulations to the Host for working hard and earning 1500 yuan, a hundred-thousand-fold amplification rewards 150 million yuan]
Compensation is also earning.
No problem!
Next to him, the Old man was so distressed he felt like he was having a heart attack.
Not only did he have to pay for car repairs himself, but he also compensated the designated driver 1500 yuan; he truly had terrible luck.
And seeing this scene, Xu Ning, even after earning 150 million, felt much better, though still not entirely satisfied.
But just then, a sedan sped down the road, heading straight towards them.
A long screech of brakes made everyone jump and quickly dodge.
With a "bang," the speeding sedan crashed into the car that had previously hit the roadside tree and was parked there damaged.
Good heavens!
What a coincidence!
A secondary accident!
Fortunately, there had been braking, so although there was a collision, it wasn't too serious.
The sedan's door opened, and a man in his 30s got out. After getting out, he shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom, where are you?"
"Let me see... see which designated driver... is so awesome!"
Hearing this, everyone realized that the Old couple's son had arrived, coming to back up his parents.
Xu Ning, of course, wasn't afraid. Not to mention the police were there; even if they weren't, what could he do to him?
He didn't want to cause trouble proactively, but if someone else started it, self-defense was an option!
However, what made Xu Ning's expression strange at this moment was that the Middle-aged Man was swaying as he walked, and his speech was slurred and thick-tongued.
He probably drank, didn't he?
The Traffic Police also noticed this and chuckled.
A new case!
He immediately got into his car, took out the standard breathalyzer, and held it in front of the Middle-aged Man.
"Traffic Police, checking for drunk driving, please cooperate and blow!"
The Middle-aged Man froze, subconsciously about to blow, but then immediately realized he had been drinking and shook his head repeatedly.
"I'm not blowing!"
"I wasn't driving either, why would I blow?!"
His words stunned the Traffic Police, who found it both funny and frustrating, feeling an urge to swear.
That's right, you're not driving now, but you just got out of the car!
"Please cooperate with my work!"
"I'm going to conduct a breathalyzer test on you now!"
Seeing the situation, Officer Wang also walked over to assist, preventing the man from escaping.
"First warning!"
"Second warning!"
"Third warning!"
After three warnings, one Traffic Police and one Police Officer, working together, directly pinned the Middle-aged Man down.
"Ouch, what are you doing!"
"Can't you talk things out nicely!"
"Let him go!"
The Old Lady saw her son pinned to the ground and was so distressed, anxious, and stomping her feet that she almost went to hit the police.
However, there were also two Auxiliary Police Officer officers on the scene, who directly escorted the Old Lady aside.
"I'm going to complain about you!"
"You all just wait for me!"
"None of you will have it good!"
The Old man was furious, almost going crazy.
Xu Ning, meanwhile, was happily watching the show from the side; this was much more interesting than a TV drama.
Xu Ning could imagine how the subsequent events would be handled.
The Old couple's son was so drunk that he surely met the criteria for drunk driving.
According to the latest regulations, he would face 1-6 months of detention.
And that guy not only drove drunk but also caused a traffic accident, so he would definitely be punished to the maximum extent.
It's likely that the child who likes to snatch the steering wheel won't see his father for the next six months.
Not only would there be detention, but this family would also lose a significant amount of money.
Both cars were damaged to varying degrees, and the repair costs would be no small sum.
The key was that for the second accident, because the driver was drunk, even if the car had commercial insurance, the insurance company would not pay.
This lesson would probably stay with this family for a lifetime!
And they deserved it!
Anyway, at this moment, Xu Ning felt incredibly pleased and utterly delighted.
It wasn't until the two police cars took the bizarre family away that he hailed a taxi back to Lis Private Kitchen, waiting to pick up his next designated driving order.
