Chapter 2866 - 2869: Shameless Family

"Take responsibility then, fine."

"Whatever responsibility there is, we’ll shoulder it!"

"But your son can forget about trying to get away!"

Xiao Chen said coldly, "I don’t buy it. If you want to play tough with me, go ahead and try.

I’ll make sure your son stays in there for the rest of his life.

Believe it or not?"

"Heh, aren’t you impressive."

"A live?in son?in?law living off a woman, and you really think you’re something special!

I don’t believe there’s anything you can actually do!"

Jiang Yan said with disdain.

"Jiang Yan, shut up!"

Jiang Feng got anxious.

Though he didn’t really believe it either, Xiao Chen did have a lot of friends.

That Qin Zhentian and Huang Qiu’er both knew Xiao Chen.

If by any chance he really pulled something off...

Wouldn’t that be trouble?

"Xiao Chen, just now Second Uncle was too anxious.

So he said the wrong thing.

Second Uncle is begging you.

You know a lot of people.

You really have to help Jiang Lin."

If he has to go to prison at such a young age, the rest of his life is ruined."

Jiang Feng was almost in tears.

Guo Ling couldn’t bear watching, she glanced at Xiao Chen, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

She wanted to ask Xiao Chen for help.

But what right did she have.

She knew very clearly how she’d treated Xiao Chen before.

She was honestly embarrassed.

"Enough, something like this should be handled by professionals.

I’ve already called Beauty Zhang.

She used to be one of the most renowned lawyers in the country.

She’s helped us a lot in the past.

Now she’s opened a law firm in Central Plains City.

She’s her own Boss.

This woman is very capable.

Ask her about the specifics and you’ll know."

Xiao Chen said.

"Okay, hurry up and ask her what can be done."

Jiang Feng said repeatedly.

At this point he didn’t dare make a fuss.

The matter had to be resolved.

As long as his son didn’t go to prison and didn’t get a criminal record, it was fine.

Over an hour later.

Beauty Zhang arrived.

She was still as sharp and valiant as before.

Wearing glasses, looking every bit the strong career woman.

"Mr. Xiao, President Jiang.

I’ve gone to make inquiries.

This case is not easy to handle.

Unlicensed driving, drunk driving, speeding, almost killing someone.

According to our criminal statutes, he’s looking at at least five years."

"What! Five years!"

Jiang Feng’s face changed drastically.

If he gets five years, Jiang Lin is completely finished.

"Lawyer Zhang, you’re the most famous lawyer in Central Plains Prefecture.

You have to help us."

Jiang Feng said hurriedly.

"The only good thing in all this is that the victim didn’t die.

That still leaves room to maneuver.

As long as we obtain a letter of forgiveness from the other side.

Then it won’t be a problem.

Most likely it’ll just come down to compensation."

"But if they refuse to forgive, then it’s trouble."

Beauty Zhang said.

"About how much compensation are we talking?"

Because this was unlicensed driving, the insurance company definitely wouldn’t be paying out.

The money would all have to come from the liable parties.

Beauty Zhang thought for a moment and said, "That depends on the victim’s injuries and their attitude.

I’d estimate not less than two million."

Lucia suddenly turned to look at Guo Ling and said, "Old lady, you’ll be paying that, right?

Just a bit over two million.

Your family’s loaded.

Shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"Why should we pay? We’re not the ones who almost ran someone over."

Jiang Qiangguo was displeased.

Their family did have money.

Two million Gemstone Currency wasn’t much.

But why should they be the suckers footing the bill.

Lucia said coldly, "You knew perfectly well my son didn’t have a license and had been drinking, yet you still handed him the car.

If you don’t take responsibility, who should?

Lawyer Zhang, what do you say?"

Beauty Zhang glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Legally speaking, that is indeed how it’s defined, the Jiang Family does have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.

But the primary responsibility is still with the driver."

Lucia ignored the latter half of what Beauty Zhang said.

She stared straight at Guo Ling and said, "Hear that? That’s what the lawyer says.

You have to pay!"

"Are you brain?damaged?

Lawyer Zhang said partial responsibility.

Not full responsibility!"

Jiang Qiangguo said irritably.

"Why is it only partial responsibility.

It’s their car, so they should bear full responsibility.

My poor son was scared out of his wits!"

Lucia was being totally unreasonable: "And you call yourself a lawyer, do you even understand the law?"

Beauty Zhang frowned and said, "Of course I understand the law!

If the lending party has tried to persuade and stop the driver.

Their share of responsibility will be even smaller."

"Bullshit, one look at you and I can tell you’re not a real lawyer.

Xiao Chen, what kind of crap lawyer did you find.

Compared to the lawyers in Eagle Country, she’s miles behind."

Lucia said coldly.

Beauty Zhang’s expression had already turned very ugly: "Mr. Xiao, if it weren’t for your sake.

I could sue them for defamation right now and have them locked up for a while!"

"Lucia, can you shut up.

If our son ends up in prison, I swear I’ll beat you to death!"

Jiang Feng was furious too.

Why antagonize the lawyer.

Isn’t that insane?

"Lawyer Zhang, please don’t be angry.

My wife is just like this."

Jiang Feng said helplessly.

"What do you mean ’I’m just like this’?

It’s this lawyer who’s unprofessional.

Xiao Chen can’t possibly hire a good lawyer.

I think you should find one yourself, dear.

You’re at least a company president.

You can definitely find a better lawyer than her."

Lucia said.

Beauty Zhang let out a cold little laugh, then looked at Jiang Qiangguo and asked, "When Jiang Lin drove the car away, were you present?

Did you give him the keys?"

Jiang Qiangguo thought for a bit and said, "The car’s in the garage.

The keys are usually kept in the living room.

So whoever needs it can grab them easily."

"So in other words, when Jiang Lin took the car, you didn’t actually know, correct?"

Beauty Zhang asked.

"We really didn’t know.

And while we were eating we were telling him not to mess around.

Who knew the kid would take the car without a word!"

Jiang Qiangguo nodded repeatedly.

"If that’s the case, then Jiang Lin stole someone else’s car on his own, and then caused a crash.

Congratulations, Mr. Jiang Qiangguo.

You don’t even need to bear partial responsibility.

On the contrary, Jiang Lin also has to compensate you for your loss.

Has the car’s damage been assessed?"

Beauty Zhang asked with a smile.

"Yeah, the assessment’s done, repairs will cost at least fifty to sixty thousand."

Jiang Qiangguo said.

"That money, Jiang Lin should reimburse in full.

Also, the insurance company is in the wrong here too.

Your car was stolen and driven off, then got into a crash.

They must bear liability for compensation.

You not only don’t have to take responsibility.

You can also claim up to five million in third?party liability from the insurance company.

But if we go that route, Jiang Lin will definitely have to go to prison!"

Beauty Zhang sneered.

"Y?you’re full of crap!

What kind of lawyer are you!

Jiang Lin is part of this family, how can that be called stealing.

And they just say they didn’t know and we’re supposed to believe it?"

Lucia couldn’t help exploding into curses.

"As far as I know, Mr. Jiang Feng has long since severed his father?son and mother?son ties with Mr. Jiang Qiangguo and Ms. Guo Ling.

So, as your son, Jiang Lin is naturally not part of this household.

You’re the ones squatting in the Jiang Family’s home.

And stealing their car, causing a serious crash.

On top of that, your charges can be upgraded."

Beauty Zhang sneered.

Of course, some of what she said was deliberately to scare Jiang Feng and the others, because she was seriously pissed off!
