Chapter 1320 - 687: Child of Destiny_2
"It’s this number, why is no one answering? Did he lose his phone or forget to bring it with him?" Chen Feng speculated.Yu Xiaohui took back the phone and said, "Let me try calling him."
With that, she dialed Jia Yuanwu’s number right in front of Chen Feng.
Sure enough, the call went through, but no one answered.
"Maybe it’s really like you said, either he lost his phone or it’s not with him."
Yu Xiaohui said somewhat helplessly.
Meanwhile, Jia Yuanwu, who was being talked about by Chen Feng and Yu Xiaohui, was sitting dazedly in the detention room at the police station.
Just over half an hour ago, the sleazy old man he beat up died from a sudden heart attack in the hospital, and then Jia Yuanwu was taken into criminal custody.
As the general manager of Zhongsen Chain Supermarket, he got himself involved in a murder case without any warning and a bit muddled.
He never even dreamed that the sleazy old man had a heart condition, even less that he would be so fragile; just a few hits and he had a heart attack.
Jia Yuanwu, terrified and flustered, hurriedly sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment, but after more than an hour of rescue efforts, he couldn’t be revived.
Jia Yuanwu certainly hadn’t intended to kill anyone; otherwise, he wouldn’t have instinctively rushed the old man to the hospital.
When the old man couldn’t be saved, Jia Yuanwu wanted to deny he had beaten the man, but Wu Chunbi pointed him out, and no one is blind—the old man was caught red-handed with bruises all over his face.
More importantly, the old man’s family wasn’t easy to deal with, especially his eldest son, who works in the district; not a top official, but still a person of influence.
His younger son is a real estate company boss, and even his son-in-law has a billion-dollar fortune.
With such a family background, their father (father-in-law) had been "beaten to death" by him, could they let it go? Certainly not.
At least he couldn’t escape a charge of accidental death; more severe would be intentional injury resulting in death, which carries a minimum sentence of ten years.
The children seemed eager to accuse him of intentional injury resulting in death, which was apparent from their hateful looks in the hospital.
The murder of a father is unforgivable, and they have every reason to find ways to end him.
At the time he wanted to immediately call up some connections, but unfortunately, the eldest son was present, and the police escorting him directly confiscated his phone and put handcuffs on him.
Then, on the way, he tried to build rapport with the two escorting officers but got nowhere, ending up locked in the detention room.
This left Jia Yuanwu feeling utterly helpless.
This matter was evidently very troublesome, and prison time was looming.
Thinking about possibly going to prison for ten or more years made him feel faint.
He’s already forty-four; in ten years, he’ll be fifty-four, and then coming out, his life will have no prospects.
Thinking of this point, he felt waves of despair.
Then, he found himself filled with hatred for the "culprit" Wu Bichun. If it wasn’t for this woman’s infidelity, would he be hit by this mishap?
Especially in the hospital, when this woman pointed him out for beating up the old man, plunging him directly into an abyss.
The most poisonous woman indeed!
If Wu Chunbi were in front of him right now, he would surely strangle her.
People tend to blame others for their misfortunes and mistakes, rather than themselves.
Chen Feng only learned of Jia Yuanwu’s "murder case" in the evening from Yu Xiaohui.
Yu Xiaohui heard it from another sleazy friend of her husband, who, like Jia Yuanwu, is also married with kids but still fooling around outside. This guy once tried approaching her with romantic intentions, but for some reason, Jia Yuanwu found out and managed to deter him, so he never bothered her again.
After Jia Yuanwu’s incident, he proactively called her to vividly relay the whole matter.
Yu Xiaohui could clearly sense a gloating tone in his voice.
Really, none of them are decent.
After hearing the expose, Yu Xiaohui told Chen Feng.
Upon hearing it, Chen Feng appeared calm on the surface but was quite shocked inside.
Not because of Jia Yuanwu’s situation, but because Jia Yuanwu turned against him and faced backlash.
Similar things have happened multiple times before, not just once or twice.
It seems like anyone malicious towards him always faced some karmic retribution, proving more and more this phenomenon with repeated examples.
Simply put, his luck is exceptionally good.
Every intention to harm him seems to swiftly "backfire" before succeeding.
In other words, he seems to fit the ’child of fortune’ template from those fantasy novels.
Exceptionally lucky, overcoming adversity and danger every time.
"Looks like Jia Yuanwu is really going down this time; the old man he beat to death is said to have quite a background, and his family has declared they’ll ensure Jia Yuanwu spends a lifetime in jail."
Yu Xiaohui said with a hint of sigh.
