Chapter 1020: Deserving Death?
Zhao Chunhua's words were truly laughable.
Just now she was blaming Jiang Feng for being a jinx, and now she wants Jiang Feng to help out — utterly shameless.
The burly man towered over, looking at Jiang Feng: "Kid, who are you? If this has nothing to do with you, smarten up and don't meddle!"
Jiang Feng remained expressionless: "This truly has nothing to do with me, and I don't intend to get involved. However, you should target only the parents of those involved, and not implicate others."
"You!!!"
Zhao Chunhua's eyes burned with anger, she never expected Jiang Feng to stand by passively at such a crucial moment, and even utter such sarcastic remarks.
Right now, she suddenly regretted offending Jiang Feng just earlier, but more so, she was furious, furious beyond measure!
"Ha! Only in times of trouble you can tell a person's heart! I've always said that outsiders in the family are unreliable! At crucial times they let you down, Old Man, you saw it too, what's the use of having someone like this in the Nangong Family!!"
Zhao Chunhua glared at Nangong Honghu angrily.
However, her words no longer resonated.
After all, everyone saw Zhao Chunhua accusing Jiang Feng just moments ago — acting high and mighty when in need, and discarding him when not, calling him a jinx, who would tolerate that.
Even Nangong Honghu and Nangong Qingcheng found it hard to defend her despite wanting to.
Perhaps this is the legendary bad karma; being habitually harsh, ultimately leading to isolation!
"Chunhua, that's enough!"
Wu Peixia softly approached Zhao Chunhua and said: "If you can't, report it to the authorities quickly. This group is here with bad intentions, if anything goes wrong, it'll be you two who suffer."
"Oh my heavens!!"
Zhao Chunhua felt faint, overwhelmed with grief.
What's happening now? Her daughter's ashes are scarcely cold, and yet such a ridiculous and farcical thing occurs — are they doomed to have deaths and disgrace in the family? Afraid that they won't be able to live anymore!
...
Twenty minutes later, the action department finally arrived.
No choice, couldn't let people rampage in the hospital unchecked; even if they agree, the hospital staff wouldn't agree.
As luck would have it, Situ Yan was the one leading the team after days of not seeing her!
When Situ Yan arrived at the scene and understood the ins and outs of the incident, she was extremely surprised!
What surprised her wasn't anything other than Jiang Feng's standing within the small three-line Nangong Family!
She was one of the few who knew the real relationship between Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng; in her view, not just any minor family, but even first-line families, and even aristocratic families in the Provincial City being able to have Jiang Feng as a son-in-law is an eight-generation blessing, deserving reverence.
Yet the Nangong Family targeted Jiang Feng at every turn; their petty vision genuinely seemed unaware of Jiang Feng's invaluable worth?
Situ Yan gave Jiang Feng a deep glance but said nothing.
"Alright, you all come back with me! Resolve disputes and conflicts through appropriate methods — who allowed you to stir up trouble?"
Situ Yan waved her hand like a captain, directly taking everyone away.
The crowd, helpless — whether Nangong Family members, the Jin couple, or those burly truck drivers — had to follow her back to the action department, even Jiang Feng and Nangong Qingcheng weren't exceptions.
To be honest, the matter was originally a traffic accident, supposed to be handled by the traffic management department. Though the action department has the authority to handle fatal cases, after collecting extensive surveillance, it was indeed observed that Jin Shixiang drove against traffic during a storm, ran through red lights, ultimately causing the accident.
From a humanitarian perspective, the dead warrant some responsibility recognized on the heavy Steyr.
But another check revealed the opposite party wasn't overloaded nor speeding, complying exactly to normal travel.
Hence, that burly man could justifiably demand compensation.
This presents a problem; after an entire morning of investigation, only one conclusion was drawn: the burly man's side was entirely without fault, while Jin Shixiang and Nangong Yan's deaths were self-inflicted, leaving the Jin Kela couple and Nangong Jinming couple responsible for the couple's missteps, owing substantial compensation...
The Jin Kela couple and Nangong Jinming couple naturally distraught by the verdict, causing a scene, indicating intent to sue.
The burly man remained unfazed and responded with agreement, hence these three parties dragged into cumbersome litigation again, spiraling out of control.
They stayed in the action department until noon, when the dizzy Nangong Qingcheng and Jiang Feng finally emerged together, along with Nangong Honghu and Nangong Jinrong couples, Nangong Jinwei couples, Nangong Li couples, those not directly tied to the accident could go home early.
For Nangong Qingcheng, that morning felt like a nightmare, one upheaval after another, currently even the deaths of Nangong Yan and Jin Shixiang emerged insignificant — three parties battling intensely, one could only wonder how those deceased felt if aware underground.
"Jiang Feng!"
As Jiang Feng and the others were about to leave the action department, Situ Yan suddenly came pursuing, directly addressing Jiang Feng: "You can't leave yet, stay alone."
Instantly, everyone including Nangong Honghu turned their eyes toward Jiang Feng, puzzled.
Nangong Qingcheng instinctively grew alert; she knew this attractive action officer held private ties with Jiang Feng, now letting others leave except singling him out meant what?
"Something up?" Jiang Feng frowned slightly, inquired.
"Yes indeed, otherwise why keep you? Follow me back to the office, there is a concern needing investigation." Situ Yan stated earnestly, turning back swaying her fiery slender waist.
Leaving the crowd baffled.
Jiang Feng helplessly spoke to Nangong Qingcheng: "You go home first, I'll be back soon."
"What business can she have with you? I'm going in with you!" Nangong Qingcheng promptly stated.
Witnessing Nangong Qingcheng's frustration coupled with eager guarding intent, Jiang Feng found amusement.
"Don't worry, may indeed be business with me, wait for me at home." He tenderly stroked Nangong Qingcheng's smooth yet exhausted face: "You've been out since dawn with inadequate rest, go catch up on sleep. It appears today's matter ends here, some deserved their fate, no need for lingering concern."
Nangong Qingcheng hesitated upon hearing Jiang Feng's words.
Ultimately, she exhaled gently, joining Nangong Honghu and others departing first.
