Chapter 55: The End of the Road

"30 million state compensation? Are you sure it's this amount? ”

Zhong Chengheng looked at the state compensation application in his hand, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

The man sitting opposite him, a little bald in his forties, picked up the cigarette in his hand and took a deep breath, spit out the smoke ring for a while, and said slowly: "Do you think that the eight most golden years of your career are not worth 30 million?" ”

Hearing him say this, Zhong Chengheng smiled bitterly: "I feel that the time I missed cannot be measured by money." However, I didn't expect you to suggest such an amount. If it is submitted to the court, it will inevitably attract media attention again. ”

He knew in his heart what the consequences of submitting such an application to the court would be the media that would come smelling fish. He could even imagine the bloody headlines of the newspapers.

"30 million is not high at all!" Yu Wenzhong said as he gestured with his stubby fingers on the paper on the table.

"You see, in these more than 30 million thousand miles, there are 750,000 people in compensation for personal freedom; 1.5 million in medical expenses, 13 million in redress for your wife, and 15 million in solatium for mental damage. ”

Zhong Chengheng shook his head: "Let's not talk about other expenses, this mental damage solatium, people only pay more than one million when they die, how can I get higher than that?" ”

Yu Wenzhong stretched out his hand to extinguish the cigarette in the ashtray, and said: "The violation you have suffered because of this unjust case and the impact on your life, fifteen million mental damage, is not too much. ”

"However, this is completely out of the scope of compensation......

Zhong Chengheng didn't finish speaking, but was hurriedly interrupted by Yu Wenzhong: "Is what the law says necessarily reasonable?" The system of compensation for moral damages is one of the systems that our country urgently needs to improve, and what we need to do is to use your case to once again make the society and public opinion pay attention to and face up to this problem. ”

After he said righteously, he took out a thin piece of paper and pushed it in front of Zhong Chengheng: "This is my friend's trick, make sure to pull the eyeballs, you take a good look, I think it's very feasible." Not as good as we ......."

Yu Wenzhong's eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke, but when he looked at Zhong Chengheng's eyes with a cold light, his voice suddenly became quieter.

This man, even after eight years in prison, even if his current social status is far from his Yu Wenzhong, once swept by his eyes, people will always be a little timid unconsciously, and even want to find something to block themselves.

The conversation instantly fell into a somewhat awkward silence. Zhong Chengheng sighed, no longer staring directly at Yu Wenzhong, but looking sideways at the window.

Shi Meina, who had been sitting silently, opened her mouth at this time: "Chengheng, listen to Professor Yu, he has been worrying about your affairs for eight years, and we have saved you step by step according to what he said, this time the state compensates, I don't think it will be wrong to listen to him." ”

Zhong Chengheng shook his head slightly: "I'm eight years behind this era, but what do you treat me for this media operation?" I just want to live in peace, and I don't want to be treated like a clown. ”

As a result of these words, Shi Meina also lowered her head and fell silent. Of course, Yu Wenzhong's plan may have miraculous results, but this shocking hype has hurt Zhong Chengheng deeply.

She didn't want her life for the sake of this man, but Zhong Chengheng is a proud person, even if he is poor now, he still straightens his back, if he sacrifices his principles to cater to the public's curiosity, the gains outweigh the losses.

She thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Forget Professor Yu, Chengheng can come out, I'm already very satisfied." Let's just go through the ordinary compensation procedure, and we don't want anything other than what is provided by law. How much do you count? ”

Although Yu Wenzhong was dissatisfied, he also lowered his head and calculated for a while, and reported the result: "The final result depends on how much moral damage compensation is approved, and the total amount should be between one million and two million." ”

Zhong Chengheng nodded, and his voice did not carry a trace of waves: "Okay, that's enough." ”

Yu Wenzhong was very unwilling: "You can think about it, your case is concerned by so many people, if you don't strike while the iron is hot to fight for more benefits, it will expire and be invalidated." Also, state compensation is the same as bargaining, if you ask for two million, the court may press you to one million. What is a million enough? It's not enough to buy a house in the capital! I've come all the way from Gyeongju to run this thing for you......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Chengheng suddenly stood up, and a large shadow fell, making Yu Wenzhong stunned, and he couldn't say half of the words in his mouth.

With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, coupled with a tall posture, it is easy to cause a sense of oppression.

Yu Wenzhong finally kept his mouth shut, picked up the materials on the table and left under duress. After a while, the sound of a car engine starting outside the door was heard.

Zhong Chengheng's ears moved, just by listening, he could also know that Yu Wenzhong was driving a good car.

He stared at the taillights of the cars that were fading away in the night, staring slightly.

Cars and cigarettes were one of his few hobbies before he was imprisoned. Although he has not yet reached the level of buying a supercar, he drove much better than Yu Wenzhong at that time.

When he was imprisoned in the past, he longed for freedom, but now that he has regained his freedom, he finds that the trajectory of his life has been completely deviated, and the sense of loss accumulates day by day, which makes him a little breathless.

The previous verdict was in an uproar, and no matter where he went, as long as anyone who knew his experience, almost all of them would cast fearful or sympathetic eyes on him, and many people and companies also regarded him as an object of charity, providing him with job opportunities or various donations.

Regardless of whether the purpose behind these alms is to achieve the purpose of using him to promote or simply satisfy his mood of being kind and giving, in short, his Zhong Chengheng's life should not bear this.

has always been the most dazzling one in the crowd, young and ambitious, flying and domineering, even when it is time to get married, the object of choice is the one he thinks is the best.

I used to think that the value of life lies in the continuous rise of the profession, the continuous transcendence of oneself, and the continuous challenge of authority.

Until, I met Xiaoling.

It seems that the beautiful face in front of me is floating again, forever frozen in the youth of twenty-two.

He sighed and hummed the lyrics out of his mouth.

I have been born and you are always in your prime.

He was still immersed in his memories, and Shi Meina's voice sounded behind him: "Chengheng, when the compensation money comes down, let's buy Wenwen a suite in the capital." ”

Zhong Chengheng took several deep breaths, gradually stabilized his mind, turned his head and said, "Okay, you are in charge." ”

Shi Meina stroked her short hair, smiled and said, "If you have a million words, you may not be able to buy much in the main city, and we don't have jobs or apply for loans now." When the time comes, you can go to the surrounding districts and counties to have a look, and it is not bad over there, that is, it is a little farther away from where we are now. ”

A moment of gloom flashed in her eyes, and she became happy again in a second: "It's okay, when the time comes, we will sell this set and live outside the city with Wenwen, okay?" ”

Zhong Chengheng nodded slightly: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

Shi Meina had a smile on her face, and began to mutter: "Wenwen is now in her first year of high school, and when she goes to college in the future, I still want her to be in Funan." ”

As soon as she mentioned her daughter, Shi Meina couldn't help but talk more: "Funan University, University of Electronic Science and Technology, University of Finance and Economics, Jiaotong University, Teacher Wenwen said that as long as her grades remain stable, none of the above is a problem." ”

The corners of Zhong Chengheng's mouth also flashed with a smile. In eight years, the pink doll who leaned on his leg and coquettishly was already a quirky big girl.

Smart, hard-working, sensible, tall and athletic, the only regret is that Zhuo Wen looks too much like herself, her appearance is a little hard, and she does not follow her mother's beauty.

Shi Meina looked at him with a slight smile, bit her lip, and there was some temptation in her voice: "Chengheng, the two of us, when will we go to remarry?" In this way, it is good for Wenwen. ”

He suddenly turned his head, his eagle-like eyes swept over, and Shi Meina's heart trembled slightly, and a large paragraph of words that had just been brewing suddenly couldn't be spoken.

After a few breaths, he finally spoke: "I will only affect you, so why do you have to tie up with me?" It's time for you to think about yourself, too. If you have the right person, try to get along. ”

As if someone had broken a certain string in her head, Shi Meina only felt that her ears were buzzing, and she couldn't help but shout out with a sharp voice: "Zhong Chengheng, I have sacrificed so much for you, and you still think about her!" Why are you still thinking about her? Isn't she bad enough to hurt you? What has become of our whole family! ”

I didn't expect her to be out of control, Zhong Chengheng wiped a trace of surprise in his eyes, but the surprised look was fleeting.

He turned his head and continued to look out the window: "Mina, smart as you, how could you not know that the day you designed her to roll down the steps eight years ago, we will never go back." ”

The incident eight years ago stimulated Shi Meina even more out of control: "Are you blaming me for letting her miscarry and not yet*?" ”

couldn't get Zhong Chengheng's answer, Shi Meina said hatefully at his back: "That little slut is dating several men at the same time, whether she has your child in her belly yet, I don't know yet!" ”

This sentence has been in her heart for eight years, and now that she has finally said it, she only feels relaxed.

Full of emotions vented, Shi Meina suddenly came back to her senses and realized her gaffe just now.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I was just...... Just ......"

She panicked for a moment, couldn't say any more, and suddenly covered her mouth and whimpered.

Zhong Chengheng didn't seem to hear it, and he still didn't move.

He knew what she wanted, but fate was cruel when he met Shi Meina when he didn't understand love, and after finally realizing what it meant to be ten thousand years, he lost Ling Ling again.

Since you can't give her back the affection she wants, then, a little more material, it's always okay, right?

He let out a long sigh: "Mina, call Professor Yu to come back." According to him, 30 million state compensation. ”

After speaking, he leaned against the window and was stunned, and did not speak again.

Shi Meina bit her lip to see his somewhat sparse back, and struggled inwardly for a long time, and finally made a decision.

She walked to the living balcony outside the kitchen, took out her mobile phone, found the phone that had been called countless times in eight years, and dialed out again.

The phone was quickly connected, and her voice trembled slightly: "Hey, Professor Yu?" Weigh him and agree. ”
