I can dream about my own death.

Chapter 9: The truth is not important.

A few days later, the police station finally released its investigation results.

The brake caliper on the left front wheel of the dump truck was not installed by Xu Pingshi, but secretly installed by a fellow truck driver, Lao Qin, who knew him, in order to frame Xu Pingshi.

Because his daughter, Xu Xiaoqi, has a heart condition, Xu Pingshi needs to work extremely hard to earn money to buy medicine and treat her.

As a result, Xu Ping worked exceptionally hard, taking on any job he could find, even those with very low freight rates.

This behavior seriously affected Lao Qin, a fellow dump truck driver, as Xu Pingshi snatched away many of Lao Qin's business partners.

Faced with this act of stealing his job, Lao Qin could no longer tolerate it and, in a moment of impulsiveness, secretly installed a set of calipers on Xu Pingshi's dump truck.

Uncle Hat found an identical set of brake calipers, a complete set of tools for installing brake calipers, and tools for remote-controlled brake calipers at Lao Qin's house.

There was a motive, a tool, and a time for the crime... everything pointed to Lao Qin.

After being taken back to the police station, Lao Qin remained silent for about ten minutes before finally admitting that he had done it all.

After the case was solved, Chen Wensheng took Xu Xiaoqi to visit Xu Pingshi in the detention center again.

After the three met, Chen Wensheng briefly recounted the truth of the matter.

After listening, Xu Pingshi shook his head and said, "This is not the whole truth."

Chen Wensheng nodded: "I know, but for your current situation, this is the best outcome."

"Qin and I are both dump truck drivers, and we might have minor disagreements like competing for business. Qin has a very fiery temper, and when things like that happen, he usually comes up to me and yells at me, saying a lot of really nasty things, and all the conflicts are resolved on the spot. Qin would never frame me like that behind my back."

Chen Wensheng frowned: "If someone gave Lao Qin a large sum of money to treat you like this, would Lao Qin do such a thing?"

"Old Qin's wife has had diabetes for many years, along with many complications, and needs to take medication all year round. His family's situation is also particularly bad. If given enough money, he really could do something like that," Xu Pingshi did not deny.

Chen Wensheng nodded slightly: "I guessed right."

"What did you guess?" Xu Pingshi asked curiously.

"Can I say a few words?" Xu Xiaoqi asked expressionlessly.

"Children shouldn't interrupt," Xu Pingshi immediately retorted.

Xu Xiaoqi turned to look at Chen Wensheng.

Chen Wensheng nodded slightly: "Go ahead and say it."

"Old Qin must have received a large sum of money. Just think about it, Old Qin's family is in such a bad situation, how could he afford brake calipers with remote control devices? And the brake calipers for heavy trucks like dump trucks are quite complicated. If Old Qin had the ability to install such complicated car parts, would he still be driving a dump truck? Wouldn't he be making more money repairing cars? Considering all factors, Old Qin's circumstances do not support him doing such a thing," Xu Xiaoqi analyzed in a cold tone.

"You guessed the general result just from my brief retelling, Xiaoqi. You're really smart."

Xu Xiaoqi shook her head, her face cold, and said, "Actually, a lot of the evidence is obvious, and many people even know the truth. But people are selfish. For their own benefit, they will choose to maintain an outcome that is favorable to themselves, and the truth is not important."

This sentence silenced Chen Wensheng completely.

In this world, all the wealth under heaven is divided into one bushel, but the rich have twelve bushels, while the poor owe two bushels.

The rich control the vast majority of wealth, so they can use monetary benefits to drive the poor who are in dire need of money or who are greedy to do illegal and criminal things for them.

Just like this time, Lao Qin secretly installed remote-controlled brake calipers on Xu Pingshi's dump truck in order to kill Xu Pingshi.

Old Qin secretly received huge benefits from a rich person, and then did bad things for the rich person and took the blame for them.

Another thing that Chen Wensheng couldn't accept was that the case of the dump truck overturning would ultimately be closed by Lao Qin and wouldn't be investigated any further.

The wealthy people who orchestrated all of this will not be punished or even affected in any way.

Chen Wensheng turned to look at Xu Xiaoqi, his feelings incredibly complicated.

Xu Xiaoqi is only seven years old and has a serious heart condition. Her fragile body is not suitable for liver donation.

A super-rich man like Xue Mingzheng is extremely protective of his life. Unless a new liver donor is found, Xue Mingzheng will not let Xu Xiaoqi go.

Xue Mingzheng would use every despicable and shady means to try and get his hands on her liver.

Her father, Xu Pingshi, is sentenced to six months in prison for dangerous driving.

Without her father's protection, her future situation will be even more dangerous.

Seeing the complex look in Chen Wensheng's eyes, Xu Xiaoqi immediately realized what was going on and asked, "Dad, does that wealthy person behind me want something from my body? Like my corneas or kidneys?"

Xu Pingshi looked extremely conflicted. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, he finally said truthfully, "There is a seriously ill wealthy man who wants your liver for a liver transplant."

"My liver?" Xu Xiaoqi's expression finally changed, becoming very serious. Her breathing became particularly rapid, and she clutched her chest tightly as she slowly squatted down.

This was the first time Chen Wensheng had seen her have an attack, and he never expected her to be in so much pain when she had an attack.

Xu Pingshi hurriedly shouted, "Get the medicine, get the medicine! Her medicine is in the left pocket of her pants. Give her three pills."

Chen Wensheng immediately bent down, found the medicine in her pants pocket, poured out three pills, and fed them to her.

After taking the medicine, Xu Xiaoqi's pain lessened somewhat, and she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Pingshi looked at his daughter with a guilty expression, then knelt down before Chen Wensheng and pleaded, "Mr. Chen, please protect my daughter! I beg you!"

Holding the unconscious Xu Xiaoqi in his arms, Chen Wensheng couldn't free his hands to help Xu Pingshi up. After a sigh, he replied, "I promise you, I will do my best to protect Xiaoqi from now on."

"Thank you!" Xu Pingshi kowtowed three times to Chen Wensheng.

Outside the room, staff noticed something amiss and immediately came in, helped Xu Pingshi up, and took him away.

As he left, Xu Pingshi turned back to look at Chen Wensheng and shouted, "Please!"

Chen Wensheng's mood suddenly became extremely heavy. He was just a small employee of 749 Media, and his social status and influence in Changfeng City were almost zero.

He was to face Xue Mingzheng, a bigwig in the Changfeng real estate industry.

There is a world of difference between the two.

Even though the gap was as vast as an insurmountable chasm, he did not shirk his responsibility, because he could not stand by and watch a 7-year-old child with heart disease be harmed.

As human beings, we still need to have basic conscience and a bottom line!
