Chapter 1807: Chapter 1807: A Upright Person Fears No Shadow
While Luo Qiao was speaking, she gestured for Lu Yichen to look up.
Lu Yichen looked up and saw the camera in the distance, nodding to Luo Qiao to indicate he had seen it.
The driver heard Luo Qiao’s question and dismissively said, “How many times do I have to say it? I only hit the mountain wall trying to avoid your car.”
Luo Qiao saw he was still stubbornly denying it: “Then don’t blame us for not showing leniency.”
While Luo Qiao was talking to the driver, Lu Yichen finished his phone call.
He nodded to Luo Qiao: “Don’t worry, it was installed at the end of summer this year and is already operational. They’ll soon retrieve the footage from earlier.”
He didn’t lower his voice, and the village chief standing nearby heard it. Realizing something, he looked up at the spot where the camera was installed, getting clear that the nephew of the Lin Family was lying. Otherwise, they wouldn’t say such a thing—truly courting disaster.
For someone who can afford a car, their family background wouldn’t be lacking; they would have some connections. The nephew of the Lin Family wouldn’t give up until the bitter end.
Luo Qiao discreetly kicked a small stone, which happened to hit the man squatting in front of the driver. The man winced in pain and, losing his balance, pressed his hand down on the broken leg.
The driver screamed in pain: “It hurts so much, my leg.”
Instantly, cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
Lin Dashuan was startled by his nephew’s screams and removed his hand: “Chengzi, are you okay?”
“Uncle, my leg hurts.”
Now Lin Dashuan couldn’t worry about anything else, asking everyone for help, trying to find a village car to transport the injured, but in this situation, no one dared to take up the task.
Just then, someone spoke up: “Here comes the ambulance, Dashuan, they’re here.”
With the arrival of the ambulance, Luo Qiao had no desire to intervene further. Recently, their family had been encountering troubles, young and old, doing good deeds but being smeared, making her quite upset.
Now they couldn’t leave temporarily; they had to go back and cooperate with the investigation. The two exchanged a glance; Luo Qiao smiled bitterly: “What’s been going on with our family lately?”
Lu Yichen reached out to smoothen her hair: “It’s okay, if you’re upright, you’re not afraid of shadows.”
He laughed and took her hand: “I’ve got everything covered.”
Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen didn’t use their status to oppress anyone, agreeing to cooperate by going back with the police to write statements.
But Luo Qiao insisted that the children playing at the village entrance earlier must also go to give statements, which meant adults had to accompany them. It was better to let these people watch the footage together and prevent wrongful accusations.
As such, five children went along with seven parents and the village chief.
When they arrived, each gave their statement, and Lu Yichen’s phone rang; the footage had been retrieved and was being sent over.
Luo Qiao requested that the people from the village watch the footage together; at first, the officers from the police station were reluctant, but then they received another phone call, and their attitude changed.
The footage was very clear; Lu Yichen’s car was four to five hundred meters from the agricultural vehicle when it had already collided with the mountain wall. Moreover, after getting out of the car, they immediately provided help.
They were the ones who called 119, 120, and 110, yet the nephew from the Lin Family had brazenly lied, attempting to extort them.
Once everything was clarified, Luo Qiao stated, “Now that our issue is clear, let’s proceed with charging him with extortion and please file it.”
At that moment, a plump woman approached: “During the New Year, it was all a misunderstanding. The child is young and doesn’t know better; just consider it nonsense and forgive him.”
Luo Qiao glanced at the woman interrupting from the side: “Who are you to have the authority to decide for us?”
The plump woman said, “Isn’t there a saying, if you can forgive, do so? You didn’t suffer any loss, why cling on?”
Luo Qiao spoke again: “Who are you, and why are you trying to take away our rightful privileges?”
The woman stayed silent, while Luo Qiao looked at the nearby police officer seeing their unease. Luo Qiao laughed, looking at Lu Yichen: “Looks like you’ll have plenty of work after the New Year.”
