"I'm sorry, I can compensate, how much do you want?"

"Ten thousand dollars. ”

"You...... You're blackmailing!" the woman roared.

"This also includes your daughter's consultation fee, and I have to take her to the hospital. ”

"What...... It's impossible, the police will know. ”

This injury was taken to the hospital, and the doctor would certainly have informed the police.

When the time comes, her reputation will be completely ruined.

"I won't say anything, and as for what information the police will find, it's none of my business. Chen Cao said.

Chen Cao is not completely sure that this woman is not the murderer.

If she really is the murderer, it is too dangerous to let her stay with her adopted daughter.

Therefore, Chen Cao must send this girl to the hospital.

"As for what you're going to say to the police, that's your problem. ”

"Sir, don't take her to the hospital, I promise, I promise to be nice to her, I won't hurt her, if this matter is exposed, my job will be lost. ”

"What do you do?"

"I'm the host, I'm the host of the KTLL TV news channel...... I'm a celebrity...... I can't be exposed to a scandal. The woman was completely panicked, she obviously looked at her career more important than her adopted daughter.

Chen Cao thought for a while and said, "She must be sent to the hospital, this cannot be changed, but the police have acquaintances, I can help you ask, how should you deal with this situation." ”

This woman's mistakes can be big or small, because she is the guardian of this girl named Will.

And she was guilty of manslaughter if she didn't save her daughter when she saw her die.

Of course, Will isn't dead now, so as long as the matter isn't prosecuted, then it's fine.

It mainly depends on the evidence obtained by the police and the attitude of the police.

Chen Cao dialed Melson's phone: "Melson, are you free now?"

"What's the matter?"

"I took over a customer's ......"

Chen Cao explained the situation, and Melson was silent for a while, and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"If the law allows, if the mother is not held accountable for her fault, this is the best outcome, and it is best to guarantee that the matter will not come to light. ”

"How's the girl's injuries?"

"I have already rescued the girl, my injuries have been stabilized, and I am going to call an ambulance and take her to the hospital. ”

"It's up to our police to call an ambulance, you and the woman stay at the scene temporarily, and I'll take someone over. ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

After a few moments, Melson arrived, followed by an ambulance.

Several police officers were collecting evidence at the scene, and Melson beckoned to Chen Cao and the woman.

"Let's talk. ”

The three of them entered the bedroom, and Melson looked at Chen Cao and then at the woman.

"Ms. Dai Li Simpson, if you don't want to get into trouble, when you record your statement, you say that you just found out that your daughter committed suicide, and you immediately called the police, and don't make other irrelevant statements. ”

"I ...... Am I going to be prosecuted?"

"As long as you don't take the initiative to confess your testimony that has delayed time, our police will not take the initiative to prosecute you. Melson said.

"I ...... I understand. Dalie Simpson nodded.

"You first state the situation with my teammates, and don't say anything superfluous, such as your abdominal injury. ”

"Okay. Dalie Simpson was still a little nervous, but she followed Melson's advice.

Chen Cao held Melson's hand: "Thank you." ”

Chen Cao knew that this was a favor in exchange for help.

Last time Melson owed him a favor, and this time Melson came to repay the favor.

Of course, this favor is within his purview.

If Dai Li Simpson really killed someone, he couldn't have turned a blind eye to Chen Cao's face.

The $10,000 paid to him by Dali Simpson was not only a consultation fee, but also a commission for buying favors and hush money.

To put it bluntly, Chen Cao helped her solve her troubles, and she paid her.

As for Dalie Simpson and her adopted daughter, who is right and who is wrong.

This is not Chen Cao's final say, anyway, the personalities of the two of them are not what Chen Cao likes.

Moreover, Chen Cao had no intention of interfering in their relationship, and their hostility towards each other was not caused overnight.

Even whether they will use knives to cut each other in the future has nothing to do with Chen Cao.

Chen Cao did what he had to do, or so he thought.

Dalie Simpson is at fault, but if she goes to prison, then Will Simpson will go to an orphanage, or entrust it to a close relative, which may not be a good thing for her.

......

"Chen Cao, what are you giving me two thousand dollars for?" Ethan looked at Chen Cao with a puzzled face: "Isn't the consultation fee eight hundred dollars? According to the commission we agreed, it should be one hundred and sixty dollars, right? Could it be that your conscience has found out that you plan to settle the account for what you eat with me?"

"If you want, don't be verbose. Chen Cao rolled his eyes: "Sister Qing, get me something to eat." ”

For Chen Cao's eating and drinking as always, Ethan has been thinking about it all the time.

After eating, Chen Cao went to the hospital again to see how Will Simpson was doing, and handed over the money by the way.

When I got back to my house, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Cao saw Ken on the other side standing at the door, arguing with a man about something, and Chen Cao had a little impression of that man.

It seems to be a gangster in the town, and he met him in a supermarket in the town, and the gangster seemed to see that Chen Cao was a living person, so he targeted Chen Cao, but fortunately, the supermarket staff reminded Chen Cao at that time.

"Ken, are you a friend?" Chen Cao reminded in a loud voice, he saw that Ken and the gangster seemed to be going to make a move, so he motioned for himself to be here.

The thug glanced at Chen Cao, then lowered his voice and said something to Ken, and left angrily.

Ken walked up to Chen Cao: "Chen, thank you." ”

"That guy is a gangster, right?"

"We used to be brothers, and we came to me to borrow money. ”

"Are Mr. Bent and Mary not there?"

"The winery closed down and my father and I were both unemployed, so we both needed to find new jobs. Ken said.

Chen Cao didn't have much to do about their predicament, after all, he didn't have any connections.

"Will that thug get you in trouble again?"

"I don't have the money to lend him, and he probably won't come back. Ken replied with a shake of his head.

"That's good, if you're in trouble, come to me, or call the police. ”

"I know what to do, thank you. ”

"The private phone number of Leonardo, the patrol policeman in town, maybe you should take note of it. ”

"Okay, thanks. ”

Not long after Chen Cao returned home, Fali also returned.

Fali lay lazily on the sofa: "Chen, have you made dinner?"

"No, I just came back. ”

"I don't want to move, you're in charge of dinner. ”

"Let's go out to eat, I'm too lazy to move. ”
