Chapter One: Gao Jianfei
Chapter One: Gao Jianfei
It was a summer night. The exact time was 10 p.m.
The scorching winds roamed freely through the city's streets and alleys, but this did not dampen people's vibrant nightlife.
The food street was bustling with activity. Long rows of food stalls lined both sides of the street, their clinking of glasses echoing through the air. Men, shirtless, or women dressed in various sexy outfits, offering up most of their skin for men to see, drank, ate, and flirted wildly. In some dark corners, eerie crimson lights shone, and under obscure neon signs stood prostitutes of varying prices, striking alluring poses, their figures curvaceous and alluring, enthusiastically soliciting customers and desperately promoting themselves.
Although ZG City is only a third-tier city in mainland China, this food street perfectly embodies the profound meaning of phrases like "debauchery" and "nightly revelry."
Gao Jianfei walked numbly down the food street.
Everything around him seemed irrelevant. The bustling, glamorous scene was nothing more than a silent backdrop to him.
A young, staggering, drunken girl glided up to Gao Jianfei, grabbed his hand, and said, "Brother, buy me another beer, and I'll agree to go to a hotel with you, okay?"
Gao Jianfei shook off her hand and said indifferently, "You've mistaken me for someone else."
Gao Jianfei continued walking forward like a puppet. Waves of scorching heat rushed towards him, but a chill ran down Gao Jianfei's spine.
"Hmph! You can petition, complain to the provincial government, even the central government, it's useless! I am Zeng Jian, Zeng Shiji is my father. I hit your mother, that's all! It's nothing! Giving you tens of thousands of yuan for medical expenses is already quite humane, and you still want to cause trouble? You ignorant fool! If my father hadn't specifically told me, I would have had someone kill you long ago! From now on, I'll beat you every time I see you! Get out of here!"
Zeng Jian said these words this evening, pointing his finger at Gao Jianfei.
Zeng Jian was the one who personally shattered Gao Jianfei's simple yet happy life, despite its poverty.
A month ago, Zeng Jian drove under the influence of alcohol and ran a red light, hitting Gao Jianfei's mother, a temporary worker at a sanitation station, leaving her in a vegetative state.
Three days after Gao Jianfei's mother was hit, the doctor told him, "Your mother has intracranial hemorrhage, and the blood clots have blocked some brain cells and nerve tissue, causing insufficient oxygen supply to the brain. In this situation, without craniotomy, your mother will become a vegetable! However, you must know that craniotomy is an extremely complex and sophisticated procedure, and you will have to bear high surgical costs and extremely high risks. I must tell you the truth, the chance of the surgery succeeding is 4%. But even if your mother creates a medical miracle and wakes up, her mobility and intelligence will be greatly affected. Of course, if the surgery fails, it means... death!"
Gao Jianfei dared not gamble his mother's life on that 4% chance.
Another point is that the cost of the craniotomy, which is 120,000 yuan, is not something that Gao Jianfei's family can afford.
Zeng Jian, who was fully responsible for the traffic accident, only sent someone to deliver 30,000 yuan to the hospital after the incident and then ignored the matter.
Gao Jianfei's mother was just a temporary worker at the sanitation station and did not have medical insurance.
So, after Gao's mother stayed in the hospital for half a month, the 30,000 yuan that Zeng Jian had "donated" and the 15,000 yuan in Gao's family savings were all used up.
Unable to afford the enormous costs of monitoring, observation, and treatment at the hospital, Gao Jianfei could only tearfully take his mother home.
Now, Gao's mother lies at home, motionless on the bed. If it weren't for her faint pulse and heartbeat, she would be no different from a dead person!
A person in a vegetative state!
Gao Jianfei was not satisfied with this!
He reported the case to the police and traveled to various places, hoping to get an explanation.
However, things didn't go as Gao Jianfei had expected!
The traffic police can no longer find the surveillance footage of Zeng Jian running a red light and hitting Gao's mother. Their explanation is that the surveillance camera happened to be malfunctioning at the time.
The police station won't handle this case either. It's simple: this is a traffic accident, not a criminal case or a civil dispute. What business is it of the police station?
To Gao Jianfei's surprise, all the people who witnessed the entire traffic accident remained silent, and no one was willing to testify that Zeng Jian had run a red light or been drinking on the day of the incident.
Gao Jianfei was like a headless fly, bumping into walls everywhere! It hurt!
He had lived for 22 years, and only now did he realize how weak and insignificant his power was!
He also realized just how complex this society is!
Later, Gao Jianfei learned that Zeng Jian's father was Zeng Shiji.
Zeng Shiji, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the CPC Central Committee, and concurrently Director of the Public Security Bureau.
And what about Gao Jianfei's family?
Gao Jianfei's father was disabled, and his mother came from the countryside and worked as a temporary worker in the city for half her life. Gao Jianfei did not go to university. After graduating from technical school, he struggled at the bottom of society, working as a waiter in a hot pot restaurant, a waiter in a teahouse, and killing fish and skinning rabbits in the market.
The Gao family has never had any particularly remarkable relatives.
As it turns out, such a grassroots family has no right to compete with a high-ranking official's family!
The two families are on completely different levels. Can an ant hurt an elephant?
However, Gao Jianfei was still unconvinced!
This evening, he blocked Zeng Jian at the entrance of Century Karaoke, but before he could say two words, Gao Jianfei was lifted into the air by two burly men next to Zeng Jian.
Then, Zeng Jian, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, arrogantly pointed at Gao Jianfei's nose and launched into a tirade of ridicule and warnings.
"I...I refuse to accept this!" Gao Jianfei dragged his empty shell of a body through the decadent food street. His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his flesh.
In fact, although Gao Jianfei came from a humble background, had a humble education, and a humble job, he was always an optimistic and positive person. He got along very well with everyone around him, and he always had a lot of jokes on his lips. People who knew him might not necessarily like him, but they would definitely not dislike him.
His height of 1.78 meters and healthy tan skin, while not particularly refined, combined with his pleasing features, earned him a certain degree of popularity with women.
It can be said that Gao Jianfei is temporarily content with his current lifestyle.
But all of that was murdered, shattered, and destroyed by that damned traffic accident!
After walking for half an hour through the food street, Gao Jianfei finally returned to his neighborhood.
This is a residential area consisting of low-rise bungalows, which can be described as a slum in ZG city.
In the courtyard where Gao Jianfei lived, there was an old, dilapidated locust tree in the middle, surrounded by a ring of long-neglected bungalows.
Gao Jianfei stood at his doorstep for two minutes, then sighed deeply and went home.
A dim 30-watt light bulb illuminated the living room. Gao Jianfei's father, sitting in a wheelchair, smoked, seemingly waiting for Gao Jianfei to come home. Both his legs were severed at the knees, and his left hand was severed at the wrist.
He is the kind of person who makes your heart ache at first glance!
His temples were completely white, and his face was covered with crisscrossing wrinkl
