NOVPUBWatching Wu Bin violently coughing up blood, Guo Xiong was completely dumbfounded.
That’s not right, isn’t the amount of blood loss too exaggerated?
Freeman only gave you a few punches and kicks, was it necessary to vomit so much blood?
Wu Bin was immediately lifted onto an ambulance.
Seeing this, the police didn’t say a second word and had someone take out handcuffs, directly shackling Guo Xiong.
The viewers in the live broadcast room saw this scene and began to make a commotion.
"Oh wow, got himself a pair of silver bracelets."
"Should’ve known, it’s always the foreigners who are reckless, daring to lay hands on our Brother Wu."
"With Brother Wu’s volume of blood vomited, he must be seriously hurt, right?"
"From now on I’ll gladly call Brother Wu the ’rich second generation killer.’ His efficiency in sending people away is too high!"
Guo Xiong hadn’t imagined that he would end up handcuffed.
Guo Xiong quickly said, "Officer, isn’t there some mistake? We were just fighting, is it necessary to handcuff me?"
"Just fighting?"
The police officer, Kang Xing, scoffed repeatedly.
"Does a regular fight lead to so much blood? I suspect you were trying to commit murder!"
"Stop wasting my time with your excuses. Get in the car now, we’ll talk back at the station."
Guo Xiong and Freeman were forcibly put into the police car.
Before getting into the car, Freeman yelled at the police.
"You have no right to arrest me! I am an American!"
"I am an American, I have diplomatic immunity!"
Fu Qiang forcefully shoved Freeman into the police car.
"Get in there."
...
Half an hour later, inside the police station.
Guo Xiong sat restlessly inside the station’s temporary holding room.
Just then, a police officer came in, opened the door, and said, "Guo Xiong, your lawyer is here, come with me."
Hearing the officer say this, Guo Xiong was very pleased.
He followed the officer to a small room.
According to the laws of China, there would be no surveillance cameras or listening devices in this small room. Even if something was recorded, it would be illegal.
"You have ten minutes."
After saying this, the officer closed the door.
Guo Xiong looked excitedly at the senior lawyer, Ding Zhi.
"Lawyer Ding, I’m glad you finally came. I can’t stand another minute in this damned place. Do you have any way to get me out of here?"
It wasn’t Guo Xiong’s first time being detained; he had been brought here before for fighting, and every time Ding Zhi came forward, he was able to fish him out of the police station.
Bail first, then deal with the lawsuit slowly.
This was Lawyer Ding’s usual strategy, but this time, it wouldn’t work.
Ding Zhi said awkwardly to Guo Xiong, "Young Master Guo, the situation has escalated this time."
"I just received the medical report from the hospital, which states that Wu Bin already had a severe coagulation dysfunction."
"You could think of him as a huge blood bag; once he starts bleeding, it’s very hard to stop."
"Normally, not getting hurt is fine, but once injured, the internal bleeding can’t be stopped, and now there’s a risk to his life."
Guo Xiong was stupefied.
"Are you kidding me? Just a few punches and there’s a risk to his life?"
Ding Zhi said gravely, "It’s really no joke now, if you want to get out of here, you must have Wu Bin’s forgiveness."
"If we proceed legally, there’s a high chance we’ll lose, and this matter could escalate from a civil to a criminal case. You might end up in prison."
As soon as he heard he might go to jail, Guo Xiong panicked.
"But Wu Bin hit us too! And so many agricultural college students also hit us, shouldn’t they be responsible too?"
Ding Zhi sighed and said, "This matter is indeed difficult to handle."
"First off, according to the descriptions at the scene, Wu Bin had invited you guys with a sincere attitude to eat watermelon and fried chicken, even warmly inviting you to visit the cotton test fields, right?"
"For some reason, Freeman suddenly started hitting Wu Bin."
"We’ve also reviewed the store’s surveillance, and Wu Bin was entirely defending himself passively, which qualifies as self-defense."
"As for the agricultural college students rushing up together to beat you up, although there is video footage, we can’t sue so many people at once; the law does not punish the masses."
After hearing Ding Zhi’s explanation, Guo Xiong couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
Could it be that all this was within Wu Bin’s plan?
Inviting black people to eat watermelon and fried chicken would definitely be considered outright discrimination abroad; if they didn’t pull out a gun and shoot you on the spot, it would be considered them having a good temper.
But this is in China!
In China, there is no law saying you can’t invite black people to eat watermelon and fried chicken.
Therefore, Wu Bin’s actions hardly qualify as provocation or trouble-making.
On the contrary, in the eyes of the judge, Wu Bin even earned points.
There had been a minor conflict between them before, so if Wu Bin brought food as a peace offering, how could this be seen as provocation?
He is practically a peace envoy!
In contrast, Freeman not only spoke arrogantly but also took the initiative to start a fight.
Not to mention that Wu Bin’s life was now hanging by a thread.
Simply based on this, none of them could escape punishment.
Upon realizing how serious the situation was, Guo Xiong felt completely numb.
He did not want to go to jail!
Just then, Ding Zhi’s phone rang.
Upon answering the call, Assistant Luo You’s voice came through the speaker.
"Boss, Wu Bin is no longer in critical condition, he’s now resting quietly in the patient room. Should we make contact with him?"
Ding Zhi said in a somber voice, "Go and talk to him, see if he is willing to issue a letter of forgiveness."
"Okay boss."
Luo You, holding the phone, walked into the patient room.
Only to find Wu Bin lying on the hospital bed, sharing cold jokes with Yin Yourong, Han Jiaoyan, and Xu Qian, making the young ladies giggle.
At this moment, Wu Bin’s face was flushed with vitality; he didn’t look like a severely ill person at all.
But Luo You also knew the judge would not consider Wu Bin’s recovery state; he would only consider the critical condition Wu Bin was in after he was beaten.
After all, for the victim, being rushed into emergency treatment is an unforeseen calamity, a responsibility the assailant must bear.
Being wheeled out of the emergency room and how well one recovers depends on personal health.
You surely can’t give a lighter sentence just because someone recovers quickly due to good health, right?
Precisely, Wu Bin belonged to such individuals.
After being beaten, he was spitting blood by the mouthfuls; it seemed he might not make it.
Once his situation was severe enough to meet the sentencing guidelines, he recovered quickly, as if nothing had happened.
How frustrating is that?
Luo You knocked on the door, and after catching their attention, he walked up to Wu Bin’s hospital bed, smiling as he said, "Wu Bin, I am an assistant attorney for the Guo Family. I am here to talk to you."
Upon hearing that someone intended to discuss official business with Wu Bin, Yin Yourong immediately got up and left.
However, Han Jiaoyan and Xu Qian stood by without any intention of stepping back.
Han Jiaoyan said, "Don’t be scared, Wu Bin, I can also get you a lawyer."
Xu Qian nodded as well.
"My dad can help you too."
