Quan Yuxun ignored the anger that had suddenly risen in her and continued, "But if it wasn't an accidental injury, then regardless of whether you were harmed, she will bear criminal liability."
Criminal liability meant prison.
Xia Chujian raised her brows. "You only mentioned criminal law. What about civil law?"
Civil liability mainly meant paying compensation.
A smile flashed in Quan Yuxun's eyes as he said, "If it was an accidental injury, the civil compensation can be increased."
"If it wasn't accidental, she'll be in the wrong under criminal law, but you can basically forget about civil compensation."
Zong Ruoning understood immediately and hurriedly said, "Then wouldn't it be better to go along with Qiu Zining's claim and say it was an accidental injury, so she has to pay?"
He looked at Xia Chujian and tested the waters. "With Chief Quan Da involved, the compensation she has to pay will definitely be astronomical."
For a family like Xia Chujian's, financial compensation was more practical than insisting on sending the other party to prison, wasn't it?
After listening for so long, Xia Chujian's first reaction had actually been that making the other party pay was indeed more practical than making her go to prison...
But deep down, an unwillingness lingered, as if asking: Why?
Just because Qiu Zining had money and power, she could do whatever she wanted?
Xiao Fei and she had suffered such terrible harm. Xiao Fei had been reduced to a tiny fragment of chip programming, while she herself had nearly died several times. Yet all the other party had to do was pay a little money, and it would all be settled?!
And how much could the other party possibly pay? Even compensation that seemed "astronomical" to ordinary people was only a drop in the bucket compared
