‘Jasmine’s husband accepted the reservation order. After accepting it, he has no right to cancel it. Once he was late and complained to the passenger, he will have to compensate ten times the unit price.
This order was not cheap. If he was reported, he would be deducted hundreds of dollars and his credit points would also decrease.
After hesitating again and again, and worried that he would be beaten and scolded by another gangster youth behind him if he didn’t drive, Jasmine’s husband finally stepped on the accelerator and started the car:
“Don’t bully people anymore.”
“Don’t worry, uncle, I said it was just a joke.”
Because of the presence of such an ignorant guy, the young man on the other side, who was acting like an idiot, also glared at him fiercely but did not touch people again.
The moment the car started, Jasmine‘s husband saw the embarrassed young man in the rearview mirror.
There was disappointment in his eyes, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Seeing that look, Jasmine‘s husband felt a little guilty and ashamed. He was thinking about how to compensate the boy in his mind at that time.
He thought that after arriving at the place and the person who placed the order clicked to confirm the delivery if the boy still wanted to leave, he would send him back for free.
Gu Zhisang’s voice pulled him out of his memories:
“Then you sent the three of them to the place and left. You should have seen Xu Youhan’s predicament at that time, and you also knew clearly that he was being bullied.”
“But you didn’t take it seriously.”
“The next day, the police notified you that Xu Youhan was dead, and asked you to go to the police station to record your statement and ask if you saw anything that night, but you didn’t tell the truth, right?”
Gu Zhisang’s voice was a little cold: “You saw him being bullied, but you didn’t tell the truth, which led to his unjust death and his hatred for you.”
Jasmine heard this and her mentality collapsed. She pushed her husband directly:
“Why didn’t you say anything? Why did you tell the police that you didn’t see anything? Didn’t you say that there was no conflict between them in the car? Why didn’t you help the child at that time?!”
Gu Zhisang didn’t speak, because Jasmine‘s question was also her curiosity.
She just saw the scene where Xu Youhan was forced to get in the car.
Then, the shaking, angry, and powerless scene was that he was beaten and humiliated by a group of young men.
Before she could finish watching, the other party discovered her peeping and disconnected the connection of the soul’s empathy.
She guessed from the cause and effect that Jasmine‘s husband did not tell the truth concealed the truth and helped several murderers to cover up.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Xu Youhan hated a driver who had nothing to do with his death.
Unless this driver was also a part of his death.
Hearing her firm tone, the middle-aged man, who originally had a low psychological defense, was completely broken.
His eyes were cloudy and bloodshot. He had not slept well these days and was tortured by this matter.
He swept away all the goods on the counter and growled: “How can I manage it if you ask me to?!”
“Why? Because I have a family. Don’t the two children need money for school? Don’t your father and your mother need money for their illness? How dare I manage it? I ask you? Will you be happy if something happens to our family? I don’t have the courage. I’m not a hero who sacrifices himself to save others!”
The man’s hysterical look shocked ‘Jasmine‘.
She looked at her husband, who was crying with his face covered, and her nose was a little sour. This was the first time she saw her husband in such a mess.
“Then tell me, you don’t need to hide it. 20 million people are watching.” Jasmine couldn’t help crying as she said: “You don’t know that our son has been implicated in this matter. The master said that the young man who died unjustly has resentment and will affect everyone in our family!”
After a few minutes, the man barely calmed down.
He wiped his tears, his expression was a little numb, and he finally told the truth of that day in a hoarse voice.
It turned out that he had thought about helping the young man at the beginning.
Then the car arrived at the place, he waited for the man to order the delivery, and was about to call Xu Youhan.
As a result, he saw several young men coming out of the villa area walking over sloppily to the front of the car: “What are you doing here so late?’
“He doesn’t give you face.”
A gangster glanced at Jasmine‘s husband: “Who is this?”
Looking at seven or eight burly and strong young boys staring at him covetously, the justice and courage of Jasmine‘s husband that he had in his heart were extinguished at this moment.
He heard the gangster who beat him say angrily: “Don’t bother yourself in other people’s business in the future. Shut up when you shouldn’t say anything. I have your mobile phone number. It’s easy to check on you! Get out of here!”
The taxi platform does have the driver’s phone number marked, and they can see it after placing an order.
When Jasmine‘s husband stepped on the accelerator and drove out, his heartbeat was still a little fast.
From the rearview mirror, he could see several young men pushing the man in the middle, and some even kicked the boy’s leg.
After driving two sections, he stopped the car on the side of the road.
On one side was the other party’s ferocious threat, and on the other side was the balance of justice in his heart. He hesitated to pick up his phone and wanted to call the police, but was afraid of getting into trouble.
Just as he unlocked the screen, the platform popped up another dispatch message, automatically assigning him a nearby order.
The passenger called him, and after the call was connected, he said that he was in a hurry and hoped that he could arrive quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Jasmine‘s husband finally suppressed his uneasiness and drove to pick up new passengers.
When he was young, he also went around for a while, was beaten by others, and also beat others with his second-year mentality.
If it was at that time, he would stand up.
Even if he was beaten black and blue, he would still fight with others. At most, he would sacrifice himself for the sake of righteousness. But now he has been worn down by life and can’t do it. Jasmine‘s husband comforted himself in his heart.
These young men are just like him in the past. They fought over a small friction. Besides, they were all boys, so nothing serious should happen… He thought so and temporarily suppressed the matter in his heart. Until he was called to the police station the next day and learned that the quiet boy yesterday had died.
He was beaten to death by internal organs and bleeding. Jasmine‘s husband was confused and couldn’t believe it. What followed was a huge guilt and regret. All kinds of emotions wrapped around him, making him wonder if he had stopped it yesterday; if he hadn’t parked the car on the side of the road because he was afraid of getting into trouble and being beaten. If the boy had been sent over, would everything today have not happened?
The police officer asked him if he had seen the boy named Xu Youhan, the deceased, clashing with others while in the car.
At that time, Jasmine‘s husband thought that he had been timid for once, and he must seek justice for the boy!
When he was about to answer, a police officer knocked on the door and said that his wife had come and was very worried, and asked him to go out and meet his wife first to reassure her.
When he walked to the hall in a daze, his wife came up to him and said: “You almost scared me to death…”
The noise on the other side caught his attention. He looked up and saw several middle-aged men and women in the hall.
These people were the parents of the children suspected of committing the crime.
They surrounded the two police officers and shouted innocence, saying that their children were only 20 years old, and they were usually very well-behaved and obedient. They couldn’t beat their classmates to death, and they must have been wronged.
Seeing Jasmine and her husband in the hall, one of the women suddenly came over:
“You are the driver brother that the police officer mentioned yesterday, right? You have to testify for my child. He didn’t kill anyone. How can my child become a murderer just because he attended a class reunion? This dirty water can’t be put on our heads!”
Others also shouted: “What you said, my son would not do such a thing. I should not have let him go earlier. It’s unlucky!”
“……”
The middle-aged woman who shouted first was the mother of the young gangster who beat people the most fiercely in the car.
In the chattering crowd, when Jasmine‘s husband saw the face of one of the middle-aged men, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously blocked his wife behind him.
He lowered his head to avoid his gaze, and his palms were shaking slightly.
He knew this man.
Twenty years ago, when he still had the dream of being a gangster, he followed a ‘big brother’ and a group of brothers to walk on the street every day, drink, sing, and brag, and even had several group fights.
It was during that period that he met this man.
The ‘big brother’ he followed at that time had to call this man ‘brother’ when he saw him. Once when they were singing in a KTV, they had a conflict with others. This man picked up a bottle of wine smashed it directly on the other person’s head, and stabbed the other person’s arm with broken glass. He was very cruel.
