Niu Ying
Chapter 98 The Overcoat at Sea (Two)
Lin's mother, afraid her son would do something rash, asked the staff, "Is there anything else? If not, we'll head back."
"There's nothing else for now. We'll notify everyone if there's any news."
These words somehow triggered Lin Yang. He jumped up, his eyes bloodshot, pushed aside the person next to him, and reached out to grab the staff member. "How is Zhao Di now? When will you find her? I don't believe she's just gone like that. Didn't you go searching? I want to see her alive or see her body."
Lin Yang's movements were sudden and rough. Bai Xun, who was forcefully pushed aside by him, lost his balance and his leg slammed directly into the corner of the desk. He must have hit a nerve because his entire body instantly collapsed onto the desk, feeling both numb and sore, the pain making it impossible to straighten up.
Everyone knew that Bai Xun was the son of Dean Bai. This child always kept to himself and didn't speak. He always stood in the furthest corner, listening to the news and standing at the back, not daring to squeeze in with everyone else. He would also wait until everyone else had finished looking at the pictures before going over to see them last.
These past few days, everyone knew that he was from a single-parent family, only seventeen years old, and his only father was now missing, so they all felt a little sympathy for him.
Now, seeing this shy and helpless boy knocked over, Wu Peng immediately went over to help him up. "Are you okay?"
Bai Xun paused for a few seconds. The numbness and pain in his leg subsided a little, but he couldn't stand up. He didn't want anyone to touch him, gritted his teeth, and shook his head. "I'm fine, I can do it myself."
The parents of Jia Wenjun also came over to ask with concern, "Child, can you move? Sit down first."
Lin Yang's parents, afraid that their son would be extorted, immediately squeezed over. "Hey, young man, don't pretend. How could a little push do anything? You just collapsed like that. Who are you putting on a show for?"
Lin Yang, who was also in a fit of anger, felt that the young man was deliberately trying to scam them. In a bad mood, he said, "He's probably just trying to mooch off people because he doesn't have a dad. Ignore him, he won't die."
These words were really harsh. Bai Xun clenched his fists. He was just about to stand up and punch Lin Yang when he didn't expect a figure next to him to move even faster, kicking Lin Yang to the other side of the desk.
The corner of the desk also happened to stab Lin Yang in the thigh, making him feel sore and numb, and unable to stand up. He could only lie on the desk and curse.
The incident happened too suddenly, and no one reacted.
Lin Yang's mother let out a wail and rushed over to help her son up. "Yangyang, what's wrong?"
Wu Peng looked at Lin Yang lying on the table and said calmly, "He's probably just trying to mooch off people because he doesn't have a wife. Ignore him, he won't die."
Lin Yang was furious. His father rushed over and grabbed Wu Peng. "You dare hit my son? If anything happens to my son, I'll sue you until you're bankrupt and make you pay with your life."
Wu Peng looked at the spittle flying from his mouth and couldn't help but raise his chin to avoid the other party's saliva from spraying on his face.
With a little force, he pulled away the hand that was grabbing his collar. "Uncle, I'm a lawyer. You want to sue? Do you want me to introduce you to a good lawyer? Don't forget, your son made the first move."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yang's family was stunned. Lin Yang looked at Wu Peng, who was a head taller than him, with extremely short hair and wearing an earring, looking like someone not to be trifled with. He didn't expect that this kind of man was actually a lawyer?
Wu Peng didn't expect that he would actually have to use the name of a lawyer to scare people. Seeing that the other party was dubious, the parents of Jia Wenjun, who had also been angry just now, stood up and said, "Little Wu is indeed a lawyer. He couldn't stand what you did to Little Bai just now, and neither could we."
Although Lin Yang's family knew that they didn't have much chance of winning a lawsuit against a lawyer, they couldn't let this loss go unpunished.
Lin's mother shouted, "So what if he's a lawyer? Can a lawyer break the law? He beat my Yangyang like this. My Lin Yang has to go to the hospital for a full examination, and the medical expenses, lost work expenses, and mental damages are all indispensable!"
Wu Peng wanted to laugh. "Auntie, you're very clear about compensation. Compensation is no problem, as long as you give Little Bai the same full body examination first. If he finds anything, you also pay for his medical expenses, as well as the mental damages for not being able to go to school these days and affecting his college entrance examination, and I will never shirk responsibility."
"You, you," Lin's father couldn't say a word. Of course, he knew that his son's collision wasn't a big deal, but taking that child for a full body examination would be a large sum of money.
They could take advantage, but there was no way they would pay.
Lin's mother didn't want to pay this money either, and asked her son, "Yangyang, can you get up?"
Lin Yang had also gotten over the numbness, gritting his teeth and looking at Little Bai, who also hadn't stood up.
In fact, Bai Xun had been able to get up for a long time, but Wu Peng and Jia Wenjun's parents were helping him, so he couldn't stand up immediately. This was also what he found troublesome. He didn't want people to help, but these people always liked to act on their own.
The staff came over to mediate between the two sides, and everyone also saw that there was nothing serious, and they also came over to reconcile.
Bai Xun didn't want to continue acting with them, so he stood up directly.
Seeing that the child got up, Lin's mother originally wanted to let her son pretend to be dead to the end, so that Wu Peng would pay for their examination. But seeing Wu Peng's cool eyes, as if he had already seen through her thoughts, that expression seemed to be telling her that as long as she dared to make trouble, he would make their family suffer.
Lin's mother panicked and directly pulled her son up.
Lin Yang had a mouthful of anger stuck in his chest, but he didn't dare to fight back. Looking at Wu Peng's muscular body, he had already experienced Wu Peng's fighting power with that kick just now. If he hadn't said that he was a lawyer, he would have thought he was a boxer.
Lin Yang finally vented his anger on the staff, relentlessly. "My wife only got a piece of clothing. What are you going to do about this?"
The staff explained patiently, "Just finding the clothes doesn't mean that something happened to the person."
Lin Yang said unhappily, "It's easy for you to say, it's not your family member who had an accident, so you're not worried, right?"
Wu Peng couldn't stand this kind of person who didn't listen, didn't think, didn't care, and just vented his anger.
He raised his eyebrows. "The way you're anxious is to get angry at the staff? Did the staff make your family member board the ship? Did the staff cause the ship to have an accident? Did the staff deliberately not bring back the missing people and only bring back their clothes?"
Lin Yang was choked by his words, and Wu Peng continued, "Everyone wants to know the results as soon as possible. If you think the search team is slow, you can find a boat yourself to go out to sea to find people, no one will stop you."
