Chapter 2: The Fall
The air in the hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant water.
Li Anping opened his eyes, and just wanted to make a move, but when his body moved slightly, a heart-rending pain hit him, which made him snort. The nurse on the side was alarmed.
"Are you awake?" The nurse saw Li Anping's somewhat distorted appearance in pain, and hurriedly came over and pressed him back: "You were hit by a car and were seriously injured. Don't think about it, take a rest first, and I'll get a doctor right away. ”
This was followed by a series of inspections and greetings. But neither the nurse, nor the doctor nor the patients on the side told him about his condition, only their eyes were the same, and Li Anping was terrified.
"Doctor, when will I be well?" Unable to stand this kind of look anymore, Li Anping couldn't help but ask.
"Don't get excited, your car accident is very serious, and you are basically going to die when you send it, although you later survived through a strong will to survive, but the sequelae of this car accident may accompany you for a lifetime, you must be mentally prepared."
Li Anping's heart sank suddenly, and then he asked urgently: "Doctor, will I be paralyzed?" ”
"Ugh." The doctor looked at Li Anping's face, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Your central nervous system in your brain is seriously damaged, and even after recovery, your limbs will be weak for a long time and it will be difficult to move." To fully recover, it may take ten, decades, of exercise and treatment. ”
Li Anping only felt a pain in his chest, and it seemed that there was a breath of depression that couldn't get out of it no matter what. With a hint of anticipation, he looked at the doctor with a bitter face and asked, "If my limbs are weak, how much difference will there be from before my car accident?" ”
The doctor shook his head: "You may not be able to get out of bed for more than half an hour every day...... After good treatment and exercise, you may be able to prolong this time with crutches. ”
As if he was afraid of seeing Li Anping's desperate eyes, the doctor left the ward after speaking. Only Li Anping was left lying on the bed stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking.
It wasn't until the police came to Li Anping's eyes that he came back to his senses, looking at the police in front of him, his eyes radiated unprecedented brilliance.
"Did you catch the person who hit me? There is also a girl named Wei Shishi with me, have you found her? ”
There were two policemen coming, one of whom was a young policeman named Geng Zhong, who looked at Li Anping who was paralyzed on the hospital bed, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, what you said about Wei Shishi, as well as the driver who caused the accident, are already under our control." The nature of this car accident is extremely bad, and we will definitely punish the murderer severely. ”
Later, Li Anping learned that it was the man who was hit by him and raped by him, the man's name was Shang Zhenbang, who was arrested by the police in the suburbs afterwards. However, after he was arrested, he did not say a word, no matter how the police interrogated him, he did not say a word. Only ask the police to let themselves call.
But fortunately, Li Anping pushed Wei Shishi away at that time and left her intact, so after listening to Wei Shishi's confession, the police understood most of them according to the clues left at the scene. Now I came here to get Li Anping's confession.
At that moment, Li Anping told the two policemen everything he remembered.
After getting Li Anping's confession, it was different from the excitement of the young policeman. The older policemen already had a faint premonition of bad luck in their hearts. His name is Song Sishan, and he has been a police officer for more than ten years.
The sports car, the rape, and Shang Zhenbang's strange behavior of not saying a word and asking for a phone call all made Song Sishan instinctively feel a kind of danger.
After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't tell Li Anping this. I just hope these are my own delusions.
After the two policemen left, Li Anping's originally depressed mood became a little uplifted. This time the evidence is conclusive, Shang Zhenbang is in prison, not only that, but he also has to compensate Li Anping a large amount of money.
Justice will be done eventually.
Although my body can no longer do physical activity. But the compensation for this car accident is definitely enough for Li Anping to finish college. And now society is a technological society. Even if he can't leave the house, Li Anping believes that with his talent and the knowledge in his mind, he can still break out of the world.
What's more, there is still a wheelchair, and you can also use a wheelchair to get out of the road in the future. Besides, the doctor also said that after treatment and exercise, it is not impossible to recover.
Li Anping kept comforting himself, as if the injury at the moment was really not a big deal, but there was only a trace of gray in his eyes, and no matter how it lingered.
Do you regret it?
Maybe.
……
……
Half a month has passed, and Li Anping no longer remembers the first time his grandmother cried on his hospital bed.
Anna had been here once since the third day of the crash, and she had never seen her again.
Classmates and friends also came once, and the school even held a donation for him. However, after the school leader was interviewed by reporters, there was no news about this matter.
Li Anping still remembers the strange voices of his uncle and aunt, that is, his grandmother's own son and daughter-in-law, when they came to the ward.
"This ward costs a lot of money a day, right? The old lady's pension is so much every month, and now it is all handed over to the hospital, what could have been done with the coffin in the future. ”
"Mom, this is not something that can be solved in a day or two, 180,000 yuan. I've asked the doctor, this kid is paralyzed, he's a waste, do you want to support him for the rest of your life? What do you say wait for the court to sentence the other party to pay money, do you think I'm stupid, now any lawsuit, don't you have to sentence 5 years and 6 years, and then the daylily will be cold. ”
"I don't care, anyway, there is him without me, there is me without him, if you want to raise this wild seed, then without my own son, you can let this waste send you to the end."
In the face of such a question, Li Anping on the side wanted to say something, but the reality fell on him like a boulder, making him watch the two leave without saying a word.
The days are becoming more and more depressing, and the days of physical paralysis, the mental torture is more terrible than the physical, and it is more desperate than Li Anping imagined.
Fortunately, there is still hope in this world.
Now his only pleasure in life is watching the news on the Internet.
Sports cars, rich second generations, rape, coupled with righteous courage and car accidents, as soon as Li Anping's news appeared, it quickly grabbed the headlines of major news and newspapers. The internet is full of people discussing it. Of course, public opinion is also one-sidedly on the side of Wei Shishi and Li Anping.
Every bit of progress of the incident, every report of the reporter, and every word of praise from people for himself have become the greatest joy in Li Anping's life now.
On the Internet, there is even a website about the incident, where countless people wave their flags and shout, hoping that the government will severely punish the murderer.
So what he is looking forward to most now is the trial. Every day he kept his phone at the head of his bed, waiting for the court to call.
But the strange thing is that Wei Shishi has not come to look for him since his car accident, and he has not even called him, which makes him have some doubts in his heart.
And the uncle and aunt, after saying that to their grandmother, actually appeared again. The two nodded and bowed, and followed a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a swaggering face.
"You're Li Anping, right?" The man's head was raised high, and he looked at Li Anping with an arrogant face.
"I'm Xu Lichuan from Gammon Law Firm, and I'm 100W here." The man pulled out a check from his bosom: "As long as you change your testimony a little, he is yours." ”
Li An sneered calmly: "Oh? How do you want me to change it? ”
The man didn't seem to notice the abnormality of Li Anping's tone, or that he was too confident in the bank card in his hand, and said to himself: "It was too dark at that time, and you actually didn't see what the person looked like, but after the fact, I learned that the owner of the road was Shang Zhenbang, so I thought that person was Shang Zhenbang." In fact, in hindsight, that person didn't look like Shang Zhenbang. You just have to say that. ”
Seeing Li Anping stretch out his hand, Xu Lichuan showed an expected smile and handed the bank card to Li Anping's hand. But the next scene was clearly unexpected.
I saw Li Anping fold the bank card in half and threw it at Xu Lichuan's feet.
"Don't even think about changing your testimony. You bring me a message to Shang Zhenbang and let him prepare to sit in prison. As for the compensation, I will naturally ask you for it after the lawsuit. ”
After speaking, Li Anping looked at Xu Lichuan with a mocking and happy face, and he felt a huge sense of satisfaction in his heart. Everyone around him looked at him in amazement.
Looking at his uncle and aunt and Xu Lichuan's shocked and angry eyes, Li Anping puffed up his chest and was proud of his answer.
At this moment, his body seemed to be filled with strength, and he felt that he had a clear conscience.
Xu Lichuan took a sharp breath, his face became very ugly, he glanced at Li Anping deeply, and said word by word: "Okay!" Good! Good! I hope you don't regret it. After saying that, he left without looking back.
After Xu Lichuan left, Li Anping was facing the angry faces of his uncle and aunt.
"Li Anping, you're sick, aren't you!?" Auntie spat in his face.
"You!?" Li Anping looked at his aunt in amazement, as if he didn't expect her to do this.
"Li Anping, what do you want?" The uncle grabbed Li Anping's shoulders with both hands and shook him fiercely: "Our family also raised you so big?" It's the end of benevolence, right? My mother is in her seventies, and now she still has to come to you every day to serve you and urine, you want to kill him now, right? ”
"But I ......"
The aunt poked a finger at Li Anping's head and scolded: "What else do you little brute have to say?" What did you do when you grew up besides causing trouble? Do you know how much trouble you've gotten into this time? Shang Zhenbang's father is called Shang Anguo, and he is the mayor of Zhongdu!! Do you have to kill our family to be at ease? ”
The aunt cried and slapped Li Anping's body with her head and face. It wasn't until my grandmother came to deliver the meal that she refused to stop. Then another quarrel ensued.
During this period, Li Anping sat at the head of the bed blankly, his eyes were unfocused, and he only felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He couldn't tell if it was because of the wound or because of what his aunt had just said.
What could happen for Lang?
Why do I insist on justice, but I have to be scolded by my relatives?
Is it wrong to insist on justice?
Li Anping is only 20 years old this year, but in the past 20 years, he can say with a clear conscience that he is a person who is upright and pursues justice.
Am I wrong to act bravely?
Am I wrong to stick to my principles?
Is it wrong that I don't accept bribes and don't go along with bad guys?
Why am I doing this to make my grandmother suffer?
Why did I do this, but let my uncle and aunt turn against me?
No, I'm not wrong.
A light flashed in Li Anping's eyes, as if he had figured out something?
As long as I win the lawsuit, after Shang Zhenbang is sentenced, and after the court awards compensation, the facts will prove that I am right. The money from the compensation will be enough for grandma and uncles and aunts to live a good life.
There is nothing wrong with upholding justice!! Now it's just pre-dawn darkness.
……
……
On the other side of the capital, in a palatial apartment.
Shang Zhenbang was lying on the sofa, pressing the remote control boredly, but his eyes did not look at the TV at all.
It wasn't until the room was opened and he saw the middle-aged man who walked in that he jumped up.
"Dad, what are you giving that kid money for? How dare he hit me!! Shang Zhenbang rushed to the man's front and said impatiently: "As long as you give me 100,000, I will immediately let Brother Huo and them do that kid, and I will see how he will testify in court." ”
The man, Shang Zhenbang's father, Shang Anguo, glared at Shang Zhenbang coldly: "Isn't your trouble big enough?" You've lost all my old face this time.
And how many times have I said, those bastards in society, what are you doing with them? It's all something that doesn't make sense, and it's just going to spoil you......"
Shang Zhenbang obviously didn't dare to talk back, so he could only listen to his father lecture him. Until a phone call interrupted him.
"Hello? Lao Xu, how are things going? ”
"Hmm...... Well...... I got it. ”
Shang Anguo hung up the phone, his brows furrowed deeply.
Shang Zhenbang cautiously looked at Shang Anguo's face and asked, "Dad, is it Uncle Xu's call?" How's it going? ”
"Li Anping refused to accept the money, and he said that he would never change his confession."
As soon as he heard this, Shang Zhenbang's eyebrows immediately danced, and he shouted loudly: "I'll just say that this kid is restless, right?" Dad, he thinks he has little money and wants to blackmail us. Listen to me, just do him, leave it to me, and you must not leave a little handle. ”
Bang!! Shang Anguo slapped his fist on the table and scolded: "It's not your rabbit cub who caused the trouble, you have left me at home this month, and when this matter is over, you will immediately send me abroad, don't let me see you again."
I'll be responsible for the next thing, don't mess with me, and don't let your brother know. He's over there right now, and it's a critical moment. ”
"Yes. I got it. Seeing that Shang Anguo was on fire, Shang Zhenbang immediately lowered his head and became honest. But there was a burst of secret joy in my heart.
'Hahaha, when I go abroad, it's not like the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps. Daddy can't control me anymore. You can also go and play with my brother...... Ha Lu Ha. ’
