Chapter 1142: The Sun-Surnamed One Is Meddling!

~8 min read 1,461 words

Zhang Ping said modestly, "You flatter me! Anyone with a conscience wouldn't stand by and watch someone die. I wonder how that child is doing!"

Lao Gao looked relieved, "The child was taken to the County People's Hospital by a passerby. Come to think of it, that passerby was quite decisive; to get the child there, they ran quite a few red lights along the way."

Zhang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

In his heart, Zhang Ping actually still had some concerns.

If he entered the Police Station and were detained, that wouldn't actually matter.

He worried that if no one looked after that child and their medical treatment was delayed, then he would have done a bad deed with good intentions.

Zhang Ping dialed the taxi owner's phone number.

"Li Ge, I want to say I'm sorry; I was too impulsive today."

Li Ge knew the ins and outs of the matter.

"This matter isn't your fault. That illegal taxi driver was indeed too arrogant. You don't need to worry about the car repairs; just go through insurance."

Going through insurance would affect next year's insurance premiums.

Zhang Ping explained, "Li Ge, the police officer at the Police Station told me the other party will cover all the repair costs."

Li Ge was stunned for a moment, then said happily, "That would be great! Once the car is fixed, you can continue driving for me, and I won't collect this month's rent."

Zhang Ping hurriedly declined, "That wouldn't be right!"

Li Ge said with a smile, "You've had it tough too. I heard your elderly mother is sick and needs money urgently for surgery."

Zhang Ping, a grown man, felt his eyes instantly moisten.

"Li Ge, thank you, really."

Li Ge waved his hand, "We are all brothers; helping each other out is only right. You did a very good job with this incident. We shouldn't be so cowardly when facing these illegal taxi drivers."

"We operate legally, so why should we have to look at their faces?"

"You let out a breath of pent-up anger for all of us taxi drivers."

Zhang Ping took a deep breath, and his clenched fist slowly relaxed, "Li Ge, thank you for your encouragement. Actually, I had already prepared for the worst—that you wouldn't let me drive your car anymore."

Li Ge smiled and comforted him, "Xiao Zhang, you can keep driving my car for as long as you want. But with your capability and willingness to endure hardship, in a few years, you will definitely be able to buy your own car and be your own boss."

Zhang Ping said gratefully, "Li Ge, I'll take your kind words to heart."

After hanging up on Li Ge, Zhang Ping's mood improved quite a bit.

Lao Gao suddenly frowned and said in surprise, "The traffic radio station seems to be talking about that child's situation!"

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment and hurriedly listened with rapt attention.

The radio host Da Bing said with a unique voice, full of passion, "Just received a breaking news story: this afternoon, a black vehicle ran through multiple red lights on the road, an incident that has sparked much debate among citizens. Our station's reporter Xiao Xiao received the notice and followed up on this event immediately. We will now connect with our reporter on the scene, Xiao Xiao."

"Da Bing, hello, this is Xiao Xiao."

"Hello Xiao Xiao, regarding this red-light running incident, do you have the latest news?"

Xiao Xiao's tone carried some excitement, "After our investigation, we discovered that the vehicle that ran the red lights eventually stopped at the County Hospital."

"It turns out the driver was forced to run the red lights to rush a child who had fallen into a coma from a high fever to the hospital, leading to this traffic violation."

"She stated that after doing this good deed, the kind-hearted person refused to reveal their identity."

Da Bing said, "Many thanks to Xiao Xiao for bringing us the latest news from the hospital."

"No one expected that behind this red-light violation, there was actually such a warm and touching story hidden."

"True love exists in the human world."

"Although we always remind everyone to strictly abide by traffic laws when traveling, in such special emergency situations, flexibility is also needed."

"Let us all applaud this kind-hearted person who did a good deed without seeking reward."

"If our society could have more such kind people,"

"I believe our lives would definitely be even happier and more harmonious."

The illegal taxi driver's name was Chen Hui, and he and Cai Lin were long-time friends.

And the Police Station Chief, Cai Guobiao, was a relative of Cai Lin.

In Chen Hui's view, at most he would be lectured a few times, and it wouldn't be long before he could get out of the Police Station.

A police officer walked in and said in a serious tone, "We will notify your family later and have them bring you some daily necessities."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hui hurriedly said, "Didn't you say that as long as I was willing to pay for the car repairs, I could be let go?"

The police officer shook his head and said, "Your case has been directly instructed by the leaders above, who have demanded it be handled strictly; you cannot leave for the time being."

Chen Hui widened his eyes and said loudly, "I want to see Police Station Chief Cai."

The police officer couldn't be bothered to deal with Chen Hui and said coldly, "Police Station Chief Cai hasn't been at the station lately; you should just stay here and reflect on your problems."

After the police officer left, Chen Hui sat dejectedly on the chair.

He didn't expect this matter to be so serious.

Wasn't it just a fight with someone?

The other party had also thrown punches!

It wasn't just his own one-sided fault!

He had originally planned to use this incident to demand medical expenses, compensation for mental distress, and lost wages from the other party, and really make them suffer the consequences.

As it turned out, the other party walked away unscathed, while he had brought this upon himself.

When Cai Lin heard that his good brother had been detained for fifteen days, he was anxious and hurriedly took out his phone to call Cai Guobiao.

As it turned out, Cai Guobiao did not answer the phone.

Cai Lin was incredibly frustrated; he just couldn't swallow this anger.

"Tian Ji, have you found out the background of that taxi driver?"

"Found him! His name is Zhang Ping, he used to be a soldier, he's thirty-one this year, his wife is a sales clerk at a shopping mall, and there's a seven-year-old daughter at home."

Cai Lin said coldly, "Have your people keep a close eye on him, figure out his usual routine, find a suitable opportunity, and give him a good beating."

"Got it, brother!" Tian Ji curled his lips into a wicked smile and added, "Oh right, brother, there's one more thing; we found out who that passerby who took the kid to the hospital that day was!"

Cai Lin was surprised, "Who is it?"

Tian Ji said, "That outsider who said he wanted to unload cargo at our Wharf that day."

Cai Lin said in surprise, "That grandson surnamed Sun?"

Tian Ji nodded, "Mm, someone recognized that car."

Cai Lin curled his lip, "I didn't expect that guy surnamed Sun to be so fond of meddling in other people's business. When he comes to me to unload cargo, I'll have to make him taste some bitterness."

At this moment, a cell phone rang.

Cai Lin smiled at Tian Ji, "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives!"

He answered the phone, his tone feigning enthusiasm: "Boss Sun, you finally called me. When is your cargo arriving?"

Tang Ye remained calm and composed, "Around four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, it will arrive at your Wharf."

Cai Lin nodded and said, "Is there a lot of cargo?"

Tang Ye said, "Quite a lot."

Cai Lin sighed, "Then we'll have to work overtime! The cost for workers to unload cargo at night is quite different from the daytime price."

Tang Ye laughed readily, "Don't you worry about that, the unloading price will be handled according to your wishes!"

Cai Lin was instantly overjoyed, thinking to himself, this time I can fool this outsider fool again and quietly rake in a fortune!

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ye called Ma Ran into the office.

He handed a phone number to Ma Ran.

"Contact this person and have her come to the County Government at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon!"
