The old man deliberately raised his voice to the maximum, instantly attracting a large group of elderly men and women passing by.

Bai Que froze on the spot.

He had spent time at the foot of the mountain before.

But I never imagined I would encounter someone trying to scam me like this today.

"Let go." Bai Que's face darkened, and his voice softened.

"I won't let go. If I do, and you leave, who will I complain to?"

The old man's eyes darted around, and he continued, "If you hit me, you have to pay me compensation! You also have to take me to the hospital for a full physical examination."

Bai Que clenched his fists, wanting to kick the old man in front of him away.

But considering we're at the foot of the mountain, and the current situation is troublesome...

The old man refused to let go, his hands gripping Bai Que's trouser legs like iron clamps, and began his performance while shouting.

"Your car just whizzed past! It hit this old man! You're not getting away with this today without at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan! Ouch, my head hurts so much! Everyone come quick, the unlicensed taxi driver hit someone and is trying to run away!"

As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the front of the car back onto his face.

It really does look like that.

The uninformed onlookers immediately swarmed around, pointing and whispering.

"Tsk tsk, these young people nowadays, they look decent enough, how come they drive so carelessly?"

"That's right, they hit an old person and injured them like this, and instead of helping them up and taking them to the hospital, the world is going to the dogs."

Bai Que stood in the eye of the storm, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.

In the village, who dares to play the "I'm weak, so I'm right" card with him?

A hint of violence flashed in his eyes, and his right hand quietly reached for the specially made blue-dyed cloth bag at his waist.

I took a deep breath; I couldn't make a move... There were indeed many rules down the mountain.

He explained coldly, "My car was parked on the side of the road, and the engine was already off. You rushed out and lay down there yourself. You're... trying to scam me."

Upon hearing this, the old man became even more reckless.

"What do you mean by 'fake accident'? Look at my injuries, is that staged?"

"You're the one who hit me! You're not getting away with this today."

The old man was self-righteous and fully demonstrated the essence of the internet adage, "As long as I lack manners, you can't morally blackmail me."

"Either you pay me back, or you lie here with me! You look quite smart dressed, you must have plenty of money in your pocket! If you don't give me an explanation today, this old man will lie here until the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Bai Que was so angry that his face turned ashen and the veins on his forehead bulged.

The old man writhed on the ground while howling loudly with great force.

The crowd was so large that it was impossible to move, and everyone craned their necks to watch the spectacle.

"Sir, your acting is quite good. It's a great loss to the entertainment industry that Hengdian couldn't invite you to play the chief eunuch."

A clear, cold female voice suddenly broke through, instantly shattering the tense atmosphere.

Xu Qin walked over expressionlessly.

She was originally in a hurry to get back to the company to deal with her subordinates, but as soon as she stepped out of the apartment building, she saw a large crowd gathered there.

I didn't want to get involved in this mess, but as a senior executive, she had a sharp eye.

At a glance, you can see the old man lying on the ground howling.

He even exchanged a glance with a man with a buzz cut who was smoking in front of the convenience store diagonally in front of him.

Gang-related crimes.

I'm sorry, but she hates liars the most!

Xu Qin shifted her gaze from the old man to Bai Que, who was standing ramrod straight.

The man was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, exuding a cold and hard aura.

His face, besides showing anger, also carried a hint of helplessness.

Xu Qin walked to the car, tapped the hood with her finger, and glanced sideways at Bai Que: "Do you have a dashcam in your car?"

Bai Que frowned even more deeply as he looked at the Han Chinese woman who had suddenly appeared before him.

High heels, sunglasses, and a sharp business suit—she looked like a proud peacock.

"...Dashcam?" Bai Que parted his thin lips slightly, uttering a few unfamiliar words.

Then he shook his head. "No."

The technology down the mountain was managed by the second son, Bai Lan, who knew nothing about it.

This time when I came to Jiangcheng, I was still driving my old second-generation car. I had no idea what kind of equipment was installed inside.

Upon hearing the words "no dashcam," the old man lying on the ground instantly brightened up.

"Young man, the road is right here. Want to settle this privately or through the authorities? If you settle privately, you pay me 50,000 yuan, and I'll get the medicine myself. If you go through the authorities, when the police come, they'll impound your car, and you'll not only have to pay compensation, but you'll also have to spend a few days in jail!"

Bai Que's gaze turned utterly piercing, and the air pressure around him became frighteningly low.

In all his life, he had never been threatened like this by an old Han Chinese man who could barely walk.

The old man shrank back, frightened by his gaze.

But after glancing at the crowd of onlookers, his confidence returned.

He yelled, "What's with that expression? What, you hit someone in broad daylight and now you want to hit me? Is there no law anymore?!"

Xu Qin sneered and withdrew her hand from the hood.

"Sir, that's enough. Know when to stop. This isn't some desolate wilderness. The security cameras at the apartment entrance aren't just for show. If we check the footage, your feints will be exposed."

Upon hearing the word "surveillance camera," the crew-cut man who had been smoking outside the convenience store finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He threw his cigarette butt on the ground and spat.

He strode over, looking around with a provocative gaze as he went.

Finally, he yelled at Xu Qin, "Hey, what's wrong with you, young lady? Are you with this man who hit someone? You two look respectable, so you're just bullying a poor, lonely old man?"

The man with the buzz cut pointed to the camera hanging above his head, which was covered in spider webs.

"The security cameras here have been broken for a long time; the property management posted a notice about two weeks ago. You just don't want to take responsibility and are colluding to scam us!"

"I saw your man hit this old man with my own eyes."

The old man and woman sang in unison, rolling around on the ground even more happily.

"That's right! You two heartless, depraved couple! You've teamed up to bully this old man who's practically half-buried!"

"Good heavens, young people these days are utterly wicked! Would I risk my life by crashing into his car? You owe me an explanation today, or I'll die under these wheels!"

Public opinion was once again swayed, and the elderly people started discussing it amongst themselves.

The way they looked at Xu Qin and Bai Que was like they were looking at heartless capitalists.

A couple?

Upon hearing this word, Bai Que raised an eyebrow and subconsciously glanced at Xu Qin.

However, the shamelessness of this group of people trying to extort money has clearly exceeded Bai Que's limit of tolerance.

He was clumsy with words and not good at arguing at length with these street scoundrels.

In the village, he was too lazy to use words to solve problems that could be resolved with fists and Gu poison.

He didn't say much to the others either.

I just talk more to my troublesome younger siblings.

Just as Bai Que was about to forcefully break the deadlock and send the Miao blessing to these two scoundrels, Xu Qin made her move.

Faced with the provocation of the man with the buzz cut and the old man's tantrum.

Xu Qin showed no sign of panic; instead, she calmly took out a recording phone from her bag.

"First, if you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to someone in need. Who's your spouse? You go out without washing your face, so you see everyone as a couple?"

"What? Do I get dragged into this mess just because I'm telling the truth?"

Xu Qin immediately launched into a tirade of internet slang, leaving the crew-cut man speechless.

"Secondly, who told you the security cameras here are broken?"
