Chapter 53: 52. Join forces to demand compensation!
Pu Sangzhi’s heart was finally in turmoil.
Under normal circumstances, had Huo Feng dared to ask her like this, she would have retaliated with some cruel remark.
But now, she remained silent for a long time...
After a long while, she softly responded to him, "Can you stop it, Huo Feng? You’re already like this..."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t outright refuse Huo Feng, undoubtedly because she was pained by his injury.
At this moment, Huo Feng, nestled in the warm and tender embrace of Pu Sangzhi, felt his head spinning, and upon hearing her words of sympathy, his chest began to burn hotly, the little devil inside him reveling in an ecstatic dance to senior disco.
He pretended to moan again with an "Ah"...
Pu Sangzhi thought he was in pain, and gently patted his shoulder, "Hang in there a little longer, we’ll be there soon..." freёweɓnovel.com
Being cared for in such a way, Huo Feng’s lips curved in a slight smile, feeling extremely complacent, "Sangzhi... could you always treat me like this from now on..."
Pu Sangzhi let out a soft sigh and patted his shoulder, "Don’t talk anymore..."
Huo Feng weakly moaned "Mhm~", "Promise me, Sangzhi."
Pu Sangzhi felt that something was off because she was utterly disgusted by Huo Feng.
And then, as she lowered her head and spotted the smirk on Huo Feng’s lips, she suddenly realized the truth.
"Huo Feng."
"Hmm..."
Pu Sangzhi frowned, "Are you laughing?"
Huo Feng immediately stopped laughing, frowned deeply, letting his body heavily rest against her chest, "Hiss... my head hurts..."
Pu Sangzhi: "..."
Asshole.
She couldn’t tell if he was really in pain or just pretending.
Pu Sangzhi was completely at a loss with him.
...
Fortunately, they soon reached Tangxia People’s Hospital, which put an end to Huo Feng’s performance.
At the hospital, after registering for emergency treatment, Huo Feng went through a series of checks and wound treatment.
It was only afterward that Pu Sangzhi learned that he had merely had a 4-centimeter cut on the back of his head, which required a few stitches. Apart from that, there were no other injuries on his body.
Furthermore, he hadn’t lost much blood; the CT scan showed nothing wrong, so practically right after the treatment, he was able to stand up, lively and kicking.
So, in the end, it turned out that his display of weakness during the whole ride... was all an act!
The driver who caused the accident paid for the medical expenses, which amounted to a little over seven hundred.
This unexpected expenditure and the wasted half a day left the driver very annoyed. Once Huo Feng’s wound was treated, he didn’t say anything else and prepared to leave.
Thankfully, Pu Sangzhi had noticed him in time and hurriedly rushed out of the treatment room to stop him.
"Sir, you haven’t paid for the follow-up medication yet," Pu Sangzhi said.
At that moment, the already irritated driver immediately erupted in anger, starting to yell right at the doorway of the treatment room, "I didn’t pay? Who paid the bill of over 700 then?!"
His shouting drew the attention of patients in the nearby corridor, medical staff in the treatment room, and Huo Feng, who still had gauze wrapped around his head, casting their gazes over.
"Oh no..."
Huo Feng saw the man bullying Pu Sangzhi and without a word, he suddenly stood up. The bandage wrapped halfway around his head immediately became a mess.
The doctor hurried to urge him, "Sit down, it’s not done yet!"
"No more wrapping!"
Huo Feng was about to rush out, but just a few steps forward, he stumbled since the bandage was still held in the doctor’s hand.
Huo Feng turned his head, and the anxious doctor said, "Come here, sit down, it’ll be done in no time!"
Huo Feng had no choice but to sit down, but at that moment, he was frantic, urging, "Hurry, my girlfriend is being bullied!"
At the entrance of the treatment room, Pu Sangzhi still fearlessly blocked the way of the driver who had caused the accident, absolutely refusing to let him leave.
"You’ve only paid for the medicine once; he still needs to change the dressing, get stitches removed, and be prescribed antibiotics. What about the rest of the money? Are you not planning to compensate anymore?" Pu Sangzhi stood tall and chest out, unafraid to confront the driver.
Despite the fact that the driver was a greasy, middle-aged man weighing around 180 pounds... and an angry one at that...
"What the hell! I’ve already compensated you so much, what more do you want! This is extortion! You’re just trying to scam me!" the driver shouted loudly.
This man’s aggressive attitude was evident; his face was red and flushed, and he had a strong voice that was deep and loud, scattering fear into Pu Sangzhi’s heart with just a few shouts.
But at that time, Pu Sangzhi did not back down, still standing in front of him and firmly stated, "If you hit someone, you have to bear all the medical expenses. How can you only pay once! The follow-up treatment will cost at least another 1,000 yuan!"
"Ha! 1,000 yuan! Who are you trying to scam!"
The driver, now laughing furiously, then scrunched his face, full of bulging flesh; every line on his face seemed to radiate anger.
"Get the hell out of my way! Don’t think that just because you’re young, I can’t teach you a lesson!"
Pu Sangzhi, seeing that the driver was unreasonable, simply chose not to argue with him and instead turned to borrow a mobile phone from a nearby young female patient, "Excuse me, please help me call the police. This person drove through the intersection without slowing down, hit my friend and refuses to take responsibility. This matter can only be handled by the police..."
Before Pu Sangzhi could finish speaking, the driver had already thrown a slap toward her!
Just as the hand was about to reach her... suddenly, the driver’s raised hand was intercepted and caught mid-air by another hand!
By then, Huo Feng had already stood by Pu Sangzhi’s side, confronting the unreasonable driver together with her!
Huo Feng tightly grasped the driver’s wrist with one hand, while with the other hand he pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to Pu Sangzhi, whispering fiercely, "Call the police."
Pu Sangzhi took the mobile phone and immediately called the police.
At that moment, the driver’s flushed face seemed on the verge of exploding with anger, "Okay, you two are dead set on extorting me today!"
Huo Feng’s facial muscles tensed, and from the height difference of 8 centimeters, he looked down on the driver and said fiercely, "Compensation, there’s no way around it!"
"I’ve already paid more than 700 yuan! And I even took you to the hospital! Being repaid with ingratitude! How low-quality you are for being so young!" the driver yelled furiously, spitting flying.
However, even with such aggressive shouting, his presence didn’t match up to a tenth of Huo Feng’s.
Huo Feng released his hand and pointed a finger sternly at him, "Just wait. Let’s see if you still act so arrogantly when the police arrive!"
Soon, Pu Sangzhi finished the call to the police, standing with Huo Feng to face the driver, "Just you wait! When the police arrive, it won’t be as simple as just 1,000 yuan!"
The driver was undeterred, "Heh, hehe! I’m not afraid of you two little brats!"
Pu Sangzhi responded directly, "This is a legal society. If I really start to nitpick about this matter today, you’ll have to pay several times the amount! Not slowing down at an intersection and hitting someone is your fault, you should bear all medical costs! Plus, you’ll also have to pay for the emotional distress, lost wages, and nourishment expenses!"
The driver stared wide-eyed in shock, "Fuck your mother! You’re really trying to scam big time, aren’t you! I haven’t even killed anyone!"
The man swore relentlessly and completely lacked manners; Pu Sangzhi now had to teach him a lesson with the law!
"Traffic laws dictate that after an accident, the party at fault must bear all medical expenses, including nourishment, hospitalization, and medicine costs! Moreover, you still owe compensation between 5,000 to 10,000 yuan for emotional solace as determined by the economic situation and the extent of disability. And furthermore, he’s a student, any delay in his education that necessitates tutoring counts as lost wages; you’ll have to compensate at least another 1,000 yuan!"
Pu Sangzhi concluded, "If I get serious, according to the law, you’ll have to pay at least 7,000 yuan or more! You just wait for the police to arrive, let’s see if you pay up or not! And once the police come, you won’t only have to compensate us but you’ll also get points deducted and fined! Because you hit someone!"
Pu Sangzhi was too articulate... a barrage of words like a bead curtain of cannonballs left both Huo Feng and the driver utterly confounded.
