What's wrong with this lawyer?!

After putting down the phone, Old Song was about to stand up but felt waves of dizziness, with his hands shaking uncontrollably.

Now was not the time to think too much. As Old Song was heading out the door, he dialed a number, "Hello, Wang Daming, you're home already? Why the rush to get home so early?"

"Hurry up and come to the hospital with me, something's happened to Old Tang, he's been in a car accident and is now at the hospital, quick!"

On the other end of the phone, Old Wang, who was having dinner at home, was completely baffled by the conversation.

I'm a full-fledged partner, the chief director of the law firm, and I can leave even if I don't clock out; can't I go home after I do?

But as soon as he heard the next line, he promptly stood up and said, "What? Old Tang's been in an accident? Which hospital?"

"The First Hospital of Provincial Medical University, quick!"

Wang Daming hung up the phone, started putting on his shoes, and said, "Honey, something urgent has come up, I need to go. You guys go ahead and eat!"

After finishing his sentence, he dashed out the door, then hurried back in, "Honey, grab my wallet for me!"

Old Wang's thoughts were crystal clear at that moment. Old Tang had hardly any relatives, and with him suddenly getting hospitalized out of the blue, money was definitely needed, and it only made sense for the law firm to chip in, both morally and practically.

He went back out, descended the stairs, got into his car, and drove straight to the First Hospital affiliated with the Medical University.

At the hospital entrance, Old Song got out of the car in a rush, then began making a call, "Hey, it's Song Tengfei. I'm downstairs now, where are you?"

"Lawyer Song, just come straight to the emergency room. You'll see us once you get here."

Old Song briskly made his way to the emergency room, and two police officers approached him when they saw him, "Lawyer Song?"

"Yes, that's me. How is Old... Lawyer Tang doing now?"

One of the younger police officers, Qi Zizhong, shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear on the details, but... but Lawyer Song, it seems... it seems not too good..."

The older police officer glanced at the younger one and said, "If you don't know how to talk properly, don't blabber!"

Then he turned to Old Song and continued, "Lawyer Song, when we got the call and arrived, Lawyer Tang had already been loaded onto the ambulance."

"I'll fill you in. Lawyer Tang was leaving the Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau and was about to cross the street. He was hit by a dump truck that ran a red light while he was crossing."

"He was thrown around ten to twenty meters, and according to some eyewitnesses at the scene, Lawyer Tang's body was covered in blood, and he was bleeding profusely from his mouth."

"Then the ambulance brought him back here, and he has been in resuscitation. We're not aware of the specific details; you can ask the doctors later."

Furrowing his brows, Old Song asked, "A dump truck hit Lawyer Tang? Did it run a red light? How come it only hit him?"

Although Old Song was not exactly top-notch, he was still a lawyer, and he knew that Old Tang had been investigating the issue of an unfinished building.

Even though he had been somewhat distant lately, Old Song still knew a bit about it.

Suddenly, he was filled with doubts.

Hearing this, the police officer said, "It was just a coincidence that only Lawyer Tang was crossing from this side, while several other bystanders were walking from the opposite direction."

"They hadn't even reached the middle when they witnessed this scene and were stunned."

"Lawyer Song, I understand your suspicion, and our department has already started an investigation. The dump truck driver is under control, and we are reviewing the nearby CCTV footage!"

Only then did Old Song nod, and after some thought, he said, "Comrade, what I know is that Lawyer Tang has been working on a case involving an unfinished building recently."

"It's that Victoria Gardens community; I'm not clear on the specifics, but there has definitely been significant progress."

The older policeman nodded, understanding that there was no need to spell everything out; the police would be able to find out the necessary information.

Just then, Old Song's phone rang, and it was Old Wang.

"I'm over here at the emergency room, yeah, they're still trying to save him!"

Soon enough, Old Wang also arrived, and without asking about the situation, he immediately pulled a nurse aside and asked, "Excuse me, I want to pay for the emergency treatment, how do I do that?"

The nurse then accompanied Old Wang to make the payment, knowing what needed to be done at that moment; thinking too much was pointless when resuscitation was underway.

Old Song was waiting when a doctor came out of the emergency room.

"Officers, has the family of the patient arrived yet?"

The elder policeman quickly answered, "They're here already, no, wait, Lawyer Song, haven't you contacted Lawyer Tang's family?"

Shaking his head, Old Song replied, "Lawyer Tang doesn't have any family. His parents passed away long ago, and he hasn't been in touch with other relatives back in his hometown for a while. However, our Director Wang is here."

"He will take care of any necessary signatures later."

The older policeman fell silent, as the doctor handed over a critical condition notice, stating, "Tang Fangjing's situation is very serious, direct impact from the dump truck, cranial bleeding, multiple organ damage, severe abdominal hemorrhage..."

"Let's get the signatures done now."

Since there were no family members, a unit leader could sign on his behalf.

Old Wang, who had just finished making the payment, was called over to sign without hesitation.

But after watching the doctor go back in, the two former partners looked at each other, at a loss for words.

The two policemen had already left, as their station was short of people.

Hesitating for a moment, Old Song still spoke up, "I feel like this is not a common traffic accident."

Seeing Old Wang looking at him, Old Song continued, "Right now there's no evidence, but I think it's too much of a coincidence, how it just so happened that Old Tang was hit."

The hospital kept on with the resuscitation, and the duo just waited there, with critical condition notices issued three times.

Anyway, every time the doctor came out, it seemed like Old Tang's seconds were numbered. But as the doctor went in and out, he never uttered that dreadful sentence.
