Sky Supermarket Network is the most important business in Fang Zhicheng's hands now. If it fails, it means that he will be defeated by Zang Yi.
It’s not that Fang Zhicheng can’t afford to lose, but that he doesn’t want to lose.
…
It was already past nine in the evening when Shang Yan got off work. She did not leave early today, so Fang Zhicheng drove her home. In the car, Fang Zhicheng smiled and said to Shang Yan: "I heard that you were learning to drive before. How are you doing now?"
Shang Yan said a little ashamedly: "I have been too busy and have no time to learn. My coach used to call me to urge me, but now he has probably given up on me."
Fang Zhicheng said: "You still have to learn to drive. It's a skill, just like eating. If necessary, I will give you a holiday. You must learn to drive as soon as possible."
Fang Zhicheng recalled the first hurdle he encountered when entering the officialdom. It was because someone claimed that he did not have a driver's license that he almost missed an opportunity.
After sending Shang Yan home, Fang Zhicheng turned back to the community where he lived. There was one street left before he turned into his destination when a figure flashed in the side mirror. Fang Zhicheng was startled and quickly braked and pushed the door open. He saw an old woman lying beside the wheel, groaning in pain.
Fang Zhicheng quickly recalled what had just happened. He was extremely sure that he had braked in time and would not have hit the old woman.
The old woman hummed softly, "Save me, please save me."
Fang Zhicheng sighed. There was no one around, so he could only squat and ask, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman said: "My heart hurts..."
Fang Zhicheng thought about it for a while and finally called 120. Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the scene and Fang Zhicheng followed the old woman to the hospital. After the examination, the old woman had multiple fractures. Fang Zhicheng paid the money first and was about to leave when the old woman's family arrived.
Before Fang Zhicheng could explain, a middle-aged man grabbed Fang Zhicheng's arm and shouted angrily: "You murderer!"
Chapter 0736: A casual trap
The middle-aged man looked about fifty years old, tall, with a rather ferocious face, and he was not a good guy at first glance. Fang Zhicheng was not afraid, and stretched out his hand to make a simple grab, and the middle-aged man's wrist was twisted back. Fang Zhicheng pressed down, and the middle-aged man cried out in pain and almost fell to the ground.
Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "I reiterate again that I did not hit the old lady, and her injury has nothing to do with me."
The middle-aged man was already sweating profusely from the pain and shouted angrily, "Let me go!"
Fang Zhicheng pushed gently, and the middle-aged man staggered half a step and leaned against the wall, pointing at Fang Zhicheng and said, "My mother is usually in good health. If she hadn't been hit by you, how could she have gone to the emergency room? In addition, if you hadn't hit anyone, could you have paid for the medicine?"
Fang Zhicheng said, "I saved her out of humanitarianism. I can't just stand by and watch her die. How about this, when the old lady leaves the emergency room, you can ask her and the truth will naturally come out." After saying this, he took out a piece of paper from his bag and wrote his contact information on it. "I'm leaving first. If you have any questions, you can call me."
"No, you can't leave." A middle-aged woman from the old lady's family stopped Fang Zhicheng, "If we let you go, where can we find you?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, saying: "It's really good intentions that lead to bad results. Well, I'll just wait for the old lady to come out."
After waiting for about an hour, the old lady was sent out. Although she was given anesthesia, she was still somewhat conscious. The middle-aged couple came over and asked, "Mom, how did you get hurt? Did someone hit you?"
The old lady hummed and said, "Yes, he drove too fast..."
When the middle-aged woman heard the old lady say this, she turned around and pointed at Fang Zhicheng and said, "Did you see that? If you still don't admit it, we say you were the one who knocked it over."
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly, knowing that the situation was not favorable to him now, because he had entered a dead end. The other party was a family, and he only had one mouth. No matter how right he was, he could not defend himself. So he said: "If I remember correctly, there are surveillance cameras at the scene of the accident. If I'm lucky, I should be able to capture the scene. If it's really my problem, I will definitely take all the responsibilities, not only pay the medical expenses, but also compensate you. But if it's not my problem, then please apologize to me when the time comes."
The middle-aged man sneered, "My mother is already awake, so stop pretending. It must be you who bumped into her."
Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly and said, "It's late now, and many things can't be dealt with. The old lady is awake now. How about we just give up tonight and solve the problem tomorrow?"
The middle-aged man said, "It's no use just giving us a phone call."
Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment, took out his ID card from his wallet, and said, "I'll leave it with you, is that ok?"
The middle-aged man took it, took a look, and said, "Okay, don't even think about running away. I have a way to find you."
After leaving the hospital, Fang Zhicheng kept recalling the situation at that time. He was sure that he did not hit the old lady. The only explanation was that he was hit by a scammer.
Fang Zhicheng arrived at the scene and called Xiang Xin. Xiang Xin hadn't rested yet, so he rushed over. Fang Zhicheng told Xiang Xin the whole story. Xiang Xin checked around and said, "There are cameras here, but I don't know if they are useful. I'll arrange for someone to check the surveillance now."
It was too late and it was difficult to collect information at this time, but the police officers who arrived later still found clues and found a camera in a nearby storefront, which might have recorded the entire incident that night.
Xiang Xin said: "Leave it to me. I will go meet the old lady's family tomorrow."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "I always feel like something is wrong."
Xiang Xin spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "This is how society is now. There are many good people, but there are also many bad people. There are many cases of people taking advantage of the kindness of good people to blackmail them."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Tell me if there are any new clues."
Around seven o'clock the next morning, Xiang Xin called Fang Zhicheng and reported: "Boss, it seems you have really been set up. We went to the store early in the morning to retrieve the video footage from last night, but to our surprise, the boss said the surveillance camera was broken. Then, we noticed that he looked a little strange, so we asked him for a long time and finally learned that the surveillance camera had been purchased at a high price last night."
Fang Zhicheng said coldly: "It seems that someone is deliberately trying to frame me?"
Xiang Xin nodded and said, "I guess there will be a lot of changes today, you have to pay attention to them. I will also hurry up and see if I can find more things. We have already investigated the situation of that family. The old lady's surname is Shen, and she is almost eighty years old. The first one to arrive last night was her adopted son, Zheng Dagui, who is a bit uneducated and has a lot of stains on his public security file. He was once detained for theft."
Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "The most urgent task now is to find out who is behind this. I am at a disadvantage now because I don't know who my opponent is, so I can't guess what they are going to do next."
…
In a teahouse near the Municipal People's Hospital, Zheng Dagui went up to the second-floor box with some nervousness. A young man had already been sitting inside. He was sipping tea. When he saw Zheng Dagui, he pointed to the seat opposite him and said with a smile, "Sit down."
Zheng Dagui smiled apologetically and said, "Boss, I have done everything according to your instructions. Can you give me the balance?"
