1246 Bad News!
“Ah? He has to be in jail for so long?”
When she heard he would be sentenced to over a year in prison, the old lady’s heart thumped, and it instantly turned cold.
Officer Wang nodded and explained softly, “If it’s just a simple crime of causing trouble or disturbing public order, depending on the situation, they might only receive a sentence of fifteen days to three months of administrative detention.”
“But your son’s case is suspected of intentionally hurting someone. According to the other party’s injury level, a sentence of over one year but less than three years is the minimum. This is because if you intentionally hurt someone to death or cripple them, the highest sentence will be the death penalty.”
“This…” The old lady was so shocked that she was speechless. After a while, she said weakly, “But they’re not seriously injured!”
“It’s not up to you or us to decide. It’s based on the injury assessment results.” Officer Wang continued to explain patiently, “The other party is indeed not in fatal danger. In terms of injuries alone, it’s only a low level of light injuries. However, a heavy blow to the head might cause a slight concussion. This situation is equivalent to permanent sequelae caused by the incident. It’s also an important basis to refer to during the sentencing.”
“However, we understand both sides know each other, and the cause of the incident was just a physical conflict caused by a momentary argument. Logically speaking, the police hope that the two of you can understand each other. As the guilty party, you will give the other party a certain amount of financial compensation to exempt Wang Yunfa from criminal responsibility. This result is more satisfactory.”
Officer Wang did not side with either party in this matter. His suggestion was more pertinent. After all, the consequences of the matter were not as serious as he had imagined, so he sincerely hoped that no one would go to jail because of this.
Reconciling in private was the correct and perfect solution.
Wang Yunzhong was relatively calm and rational. He immediately nodded at Officer Wang. “Officer Wang, we will do our best to seek the other party’s understanding on this matter. We also hope that you can help us persuade the victim and his family. We will give the other party a satisfactory number in terms of compensation, as long as they can give my brother a chance. You might not know this, but my brother just got married this year. His wife is already a few months pregnant. He really can’t go to jail at this time!”
When Officer Wang heard this, he nodded gently. “We already knew about this situation when Wang Yunfa gave his statement, so although the law doesn’t allow for mercy when we encounter such a situation, as police officers, we will inevitably feel sympathetic. Therefore, don’t worry. Based on this special situation in your family, we will increase the mediation and do our best to help you achieve reconciliation with the other party.”
“Oh, Officer Wang, thank you so much. Good things will happen to you…” When the old lady heard Officer Wang’s words, she immediately nodded excitedly and thanked him.
“Auntie, don’t worry too much. Based on my experience in handling cases over the years, the probability of reconciliation is quite high,” Officer Wang added.
Although the old lady was usually opinionated, she only used her ideas on trivial matters. Now that she had encountered such a thing, the police’s words naturally made her feel most at ease.
Therefore, the old lady felt much more at ease.
After leaving the police station, the old lady pulled Wang Yunzhong and said, “Yunzhong, why don’t we go to the hospital again now? Perhaps Wang Dapeng is already awake.”
“Mom, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. Didn’t we go there two days ago? Moreover, if the other party has thoughts of reconciling, they will contact us,” Wang Yunzhong said.
It was already very late, and he still had to get the gift he had bought for Wang Yunmei. If he didn’t go now, wouldn’t it be dark when he reached Wang Yunmei’s house?
Moreover, they know they could not resolve Wang Yunfa’s matter in a hurry. Wang Yunzhong knew that even if they went again today, there might not be any substantial progress.
If Wang Dapeng was not awake yet, the other party would only be even angrier when they saw them. It was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
“But Mom is worried about Yunfa…” The old lady’s eyes turned red. If Wang Yunfa stayed inside for another day, she wouldn’t be able to feel completely at ease. She still had to worry about whether he would suffer in the detention center.
Wang Yunzhong said, “It’s useless to worry. Besides, it’s good to let him stay inside for a few more days. Let him reflect on himself. Otherwise, it’ll be too easy for him, and he won’t know how to restrain himself!”
This matter could be big or small. It was a small matter of the other party agreeing to a reconciliation. If they disagreed, Wang Yunfa would go to jail. There were only two options. No matter how anxious he was, there was no third option. Therefore, Wang Yunzhong knew it was useless to be anxious.
He immediately said to the old lady, “We’re almost at Zhonglou District. Take a taxi to Yunfa’s house to see Li Xia. I have something on in the afternoon, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Without waiting for the old lady to say anything, Wang Yunzhong got into the car and drove away.
The old lady stood outside the police station and watched her son’s car disappear with a reluctant expression.
Li Xia had long returned to her in-laws’ house. After Wang Yunfa entered, how would she dare to let a pregnant woman like her stay at home? The old lady sighed and walked towards the bus stop, planning to take the bus back to her home in Wanbao District.
At the same time, the Jian Group received bad news. Although Han Wenjing’s surgery at the Capital Hospital was successful, she did not survive the critical period. At six minutes past three in the afternoon today, she passed away!
This news caused a tremendous shock to the entire Jian Group. Almost everyone in the corporation felt regret and heartache at this news.
Although Han Wenjing was not tactful enough in the world and did not have many friends in the company, her ability was obvious to all. As a working professional, she was extraordinary to be one of the leaders of a real estate giant like the Jian Group.
The passing of such an elite made people sigh.
Jian Changsheng naturally knew this news at first moment. For a moment, he couldn’t accept such bad news. His nerves, which he hadn’t relaxed for a long time, finally broke at this moment. Overwhelming guilt and self-reproach swallowed him.
For the entire afternoon, he canceled his meetings with his business partner representatives and locked himself in his office, not letting anyone in. He did not come out either.
Lili looked at the office door worriedly from time to time. The CEO’s wife had once asked her to pay attention to the CEO’s abnormal movements. If anything happened, she had to inform the CEO’s wife in time.
However, the CEO must be very sad now. Lili could not decide if she should tell the CEO’s wife. She was also afraid that her decision would disturb the CEO because it looked like he wanted to be alone more.
