Chapter 1579: Carried Two Lives on His Back
The old man was now helplessly lying here at the mercy of others. That was what happened when one condoned bad wolves, things that couldnt be raised to be loyal. To expect an animal to feel goodwill was unrealistic.
Xi Mucheng, who was burning with hatred, couldnt wait to see the s.h.i.+ family die.
The doctor didnt approve of Ning Shus transfer, though. The old mans condition wasnt good right now, and it could easily go wrong if they disturbed him.
The old mans eyelids opened for a bit before he fell back into unconsciousness. Ning Shu channeled some mild energy into the old man to help him slowly repair his body.
Ning Shus determination to transfer the old man solidified and she signed all the requisite papers.
The old man was lifted into the car, and the maid also followed him.
At the new hospital, Ning Shu asked the staff to keep the old mans condition confidential and treat him in secret. His name also couldnt be found in the hospital system.
After doing these things, it was almost dawn. Ning Shu cracked her neck. If she didnt have the Unsurpa.s.sable Martial Arts, staying up all night like this would be too much for her body.
The old man had a doctor, nurse, and maid to take care of him, so his condition was stable, neither good nor bad.
The old man was already getting on in years. His body wasnt as it used to be in his youth, and the car accident made things even worse.
Ning Shu was a little worried that the old man wouldnt wake up.
She infused some spiritual energy into the old mans body. Ning Shu couldnt allow anything to happen to the old man. Otherwise, in the absence of a will, Xi Mucheng, a legal son, would also have inheritance rights to the shares and the real estate in the old mans hands.
Xi Mucheng shouldnt dream of getting a penny from the s.h.i.+ family, as they didnt owe him anything.
Ning Shu received a call from the police station; the driver had admitted that he was paid to cause a traffic accident.
She didnt say anything. Instead, she directly got a lawyer to prosecute that driver. Not only would the man not get half a million, but he would also face jail time.
And even after going to prison, it wouldnt be easy for him.
She made sure he would be tortured inside.
So far, the driver carried two lives on his back: s.h.i.+ Lina and the old mans driver.
The court awarded the s.h.i.+ drivers family $500,000. Moreover, the truck driver also had to pay for the emotional distress of the s.h.i.+ drivers relatives.
In the end, the truck driver was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of all civil rights.
Ning Shu used the money to pay off the prison bully who shared a room with the driver. He said he would treat the driver well.
The s.h.i.+ drivers family received generous compensation. All in all, with the sum from Ning Shu, they had nearly a million dollars of family wealth.
Ning Shu had the family leave the city. It was good to have money in hand, but there was no guarantee that Xi Mucheng wouldnt dispose of the s.h.i.+ driver and his family.
A million was no small number.
The s.h.i.+ familys driver was an innocent who was caught in the s.h.i.+ familys struggles. When they learned that the truck driver was paid to harm people, the s.h.i.+ drivers family didnt hesitate to leave the city anymore.
After dealing with these things, Ning Shu hurriedly went to the company to hold a meeting with the board of directors. The old man being in a car accident couldnt be covered up. The prices of their shares had fallen, and the shareholders were getting a little restless.
Ning Shu had to ensure the companys normal operation and keep these shareholders pockets from shrinking.
She was busy as a bee every day.
Ning Shu asked the secretary if Xi Mucheng had come to work. The secretary shook her head, saying that the vice president hadnt come to the office for several days.
Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. If her guess wasnt wrong, he was humping with s.h.i.+ Sinan every day.
Although she hadnt been back to the villa for days, s.h.i.+ Sinan still hadnt made a single call to ask how her grandfather was doing.
It was a nightmare to have this kind of daughter.
Ning Shu really hated such people, who were simple and beautiful and oh so untouched by the world.
She bought a set of needles and went back to the villa. On the way, Ning Shu bought some weight-gaining pills that contained hormones. These things could be detected and should be used as little as possible.
