On Wednesday afternoon, Yan Feifan received a definite update on the complaint from Mr. Huang.
During the disability assessment, it was confirmed that he had lied. While his reimplanted left thumb was capable of flexion and extension, Mr. Huang claimed that the nerve pain in his thumb was so severe that he genuinely didn't dare to move it.
The officials from the Health Commission solemnly warned him that if it was ultimately proven he was lying, his actions would constitute extortion.
The compensation he was demanding was enough to land him in prison for several years.
Under immense pressure, Mr. Huang finally confessed.
He had lied.
The accident was a result of his own carelessness.
The family he had been working for refused to cover his medical expenses.
This meant he had to shoulder the entire medical bill himself, which basically meant he had worked all year for nothing.
