Niu Ying
Chapter 170 Pawn
She knew Wu Peng had arrived. She smoothed her hair and walked out.
If she guessed correctly, today she would find out if there was any evidence of Lü Maowang on the clothes.
Seeing Jia Wenjun, Wu Peng couldn't hide the excitement on his face. Before he even spoke, Jia Wenjun knew Lü Maowang wouldn't escape.
Sure enough, after she sat down, Wu Peng immediately told her that the police had detected Lü Maowang's DNA on her trousers.
Now the police station had opened a case and detained Lü Maowang. With this conclusive evidence, Lü Maowang would likely be unable to escape imprisonment.
Jia Wenjun listened quietly, her face calm, as if she had expected this result.
From the first day he met her, her composure, unshaken even by the collapse of Mount Tai, had filled Wu Peng with admiration and appreciation.
However, Wu Peng didn't know that Jia Wenjun's hands below were clenched tightly. She wasn't without emotion; on the contrary, her heart was surging with turbulent waves.
After suppressing herself for so many days, this news filled her with excitement. Although she didn't know what lay ahead, the feeling of retaliating against those who had bullied her was too satisfying. She didn't know if any of the people she had directly or indirectly sent in had framed her, and if so, that was great. If not, then before she was completely convicted, she would return all the anger she had suffered on the ship to them!
With Lü Maowang taken care of, the next one was Hu Sixiang.
After listening to Wu Peng, Jia Wenjun steadied her mind and said to him, "Attorney Wu, next, I need you to help me with something."
Wu Peng looked at her. "Tell me."
Jia Wenjun said slowly, "I would like you to help Gong Dalong's wife find a powerful lawyer to sue Hu Sixiang for intentional injury. I will be responsible for all the expenses. If necessary and allowed, I can testify that Hu Sixiang deliberately harmed Gong Dalong on the ship."
Wu Peng paused and asked, "Are you saying that Hu Sixiang intentionally injured him, suspected of constituting intentional homicide, but attempted intentional injury?"
"He stabbed Gong Dalong with a knife at the time, wanting him to die on the ship. Although Gong Dalong's final cause of death was not the knife wound, that knife also played a key role, and Gong Dalong's daughter committed suicide because of this. How many years do you think Gong Dalong could be sentenced to if these evidences are presented?"
Wu Peng pondered for a few seconds and said, "According to the criminal law, intentional homicide is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years. And now Hu Sixiang is an attempted murderer, so depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, he may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years."
Thinking of the innocent little girl who had died, Jia Wenjun felt a surge of sorrow in her heart. How innocent the child was, and how innocent she was herself. Why should they bear the mistakes of others? Why should they lose their lives and their own lives because of others?
Three years was clearly not enough. Jia Wenjun looked at Wu Peng. "Although Gong Dalong didn't die, his daughter died because of this incident. If Hu Sixiang only has to bear three years of punishment, then it would be too cheap for him. So I would like you to help me find a more powerful lawyer in the industry to make Hu Sixiang pay the price he should pay."
"Hiring such a lawyer is not cheap," Wu Peng said.
It would be one thing if it were spent on her own case, but now it was being spent on Gong Dalong. Wu Peng had to remind her.
Jia Wenjun looked at the light shining in behind him, calm and firm. "I know that revenge is very expensive, but the money that should be spent must not be spared."
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Peng felt that Jia Wenjun was different from any client he had ever met. She suffered injustice, but she never cried and complained about injustice. Instead, she used action to truly fight back.
Her approach of silently, decisively, and purposefully punishing those who deserved it one by one made him feel passionate and happy.
At this time, Hu Sixiang had just returned from outside. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Nao Nao, who was watching TV, shout loudly. He was startled, and when he realized that Nao Nao was just shouting along with the cartoon, he rushed over in anger and swung his palm to hit his butt hard.
Nao Nao was beaten and howled from this sudden beating. Hao Jiening, who was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, rushed out with a kitchen knife. "Hu Sixiang, what are you doing?"
Hu Sixiang was shocked again when he saw the knife in her hand. He pushed his son away, glared at Hao Jiening with bloodshot eyes, and pointed at her, "What are you doing with the knife? Do you want to chop me? Okay, come on, kill me and I won't have to worry anymore."
Because of Gong Dalong's daughter's matter, he had been summoned by the police again today.
Hao Jiening knew that Hu Sixiang was like a frightened bird now, and even a slight disturbance could scare him. So she didn't bother with him, put down the knife, and took the crying son into the room.
Hu Sixiang was upset. He sat down, lit a cigarette, and took out his phone to check the messages. Before he could take two puffs, he saw someone in the group posting several photos.
Someone in the community who liked to meddle had taken pictures of the police entering the community to arrest someone and put them in a police car, so they took pictures and sent them to the group.
Hu Sixiang was now afraid of seeing police cars, but he couldn't help but be curious, so he clicked on the large picture to look at it, and found that the person who was handcuffed and taken away was actually Lü Maowang.
The cigarette in Hu Sixiang's mouth instantly fell down. He didn't know why Lü Maowang was arrested. He recalled what Lü Maowang had done on the ship, and it didn't seem like there was anything particularly bad about it.
If even Lü Maowang was arrested, then wouldn't he, the one who stabbed Gong Dalong, be next?
The more Hu Sixiang thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He picked up his phone and went out again.
At this time, Bai Ma Shan was sitting in his office and also saw the photos posted in the group. His expression was indifferent, and he cursed inwardly that Lü Maowang was a fool.
He had reminded him so much at the time that Wu Peng was now Jia Wenjun's hands and feet. As long as these hands and feet were broken, Jia Wenjun would be helpless.
However, Lü Maowang only went to puncture Wu Peng's tires. Bai Ma Shan shook his head and swiped away the pictures on his phone. When he got up to make a new cup of tea, he saw through the floor-to-ceiling windows across the road that Hu Sixiang was looking nervous and stumbling out of the community gate.
Bai Ma played with the cup in his hand, thinking that Hu Sixiang should be smarter than Lü Maowang.
There were still more than half a month left. Since Jia Wenjun and Wu Peng were not being peaceful, then he would have people go and play with them.
