Chapter 147: 【146】90s Cook 145 (Part 1)

As a result, when Cao Yuan came back that evening, he said, "Zhang Liang and your elder brother were hit by a car, both hospitalized. Zhang Liang is dead, while your elder brother only suffered minor abrasions."

Gong Mingxia sat up in shock from the bed. "How could this happen?"

"Who knows how they ended up clashing, arguing back and forth on the street, then getting into a physical fight. They just had bad luck, happening upon a drunk driver, and as a result, both were thrown through the air. It’s fortunate that Zhang Liang was on the outside and your elder brother was on the inside, so your brother only ended up with scrapes."

Gong Mingxia suddenly fell silent, then let out a sardonic laugh. "Husband, do you believe in the cycle of karma and retribution? The moment we stepped out of the Police Station, they cornered us. Xiao Xiao said something at that time, ’Are you also here for money? Zhang Liang did too. Not getting the kidney, he came asking my mom for money, the person will be out soon, you can ask him if that’s true,’ and then they assumed I had given Zhang Liang money. It’s probably because of this that they ended up fighting. If I had said those words, they might not have believed it, but Xiao Xiao said it, and although she didn’t mention borrowing money, and I never clarified to them directly, it seemed like they indeed believed that I had given Zhang Liang money. Tell me, is this indirectly caused by my daughter and me?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan frowned, walked over, and gently embraced her shoulders, sitting beside her and pulling her into his arms.

"Foolish girl, that’s their own assumption, it has nothing to do with you or Xiao Xiao."

"But we intentionally let them misinterpret it."

"If they weren’t so greedy, none of this would have happened. After all, it was their own fault. Don’t get involved in this matter. When the police come to ask questions, just tell the truth. You weren’t at the scene during the argument and the fight, why should you take the blame for them?"

...

As Cao Yuan had predicted, that afternoon the Public Security Bureau officers indeed came to understand the incident from Gong Mingxia.

So, she told them the truth. After listening, the police looked deeply at her.

"So you’re saying your daughter did indeed say something that could have sparked a dispute?"

Gong Mingxia furrowed her brows, "No, what do you mean by that? My daughter simply told them that Zhang Liang came to us asking for a kidney, we refused; he then asked us for money, and we never said we had lent Zhang Liang money. We said this and then left. We had absolutely no knowledge of what happened afterward. So, Officer, you can’t interpret it that way. My daughter is only 17 years old."

Then Gong Mingxia personally wrote down that sentence: "Here, this is the sentence, judge for yourselves what we meant by it."

The two officers stared at the note for a while then closed their file: "Alright, we can leave this matter here, we understand the situation now, thank you for your cooperation!"

As they left the Gong Family’s gate, one officer looked to the other, "What do you think of this case? I feel like the mother and daughter intentionally twisted the meaning, leading those people into conflict with Zhang Liang?"

"Even if that was their intention, there’s nothing wrong with it, right? Whether it’s Zhang Liang or their siblings, look at them, which one is reliable? One is a father who doesn’t fulfill his duties, a bunch who don’t respect their parents, coming from far away for money. They simply wanted to get rid of them. Put yourself in their shoes; you’d think the same. As for the tragedy that ensued, perhaps it was just karma playing out. Let’s leave this case as it is; the drunk driver bears the primary responsibility!"
