Chapter 528: Chapter 524: I Compensate 1 Million (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Xiaozi saw Ye Chen, as if seeing a relative, and unexpectedly buried herself in Ye Chen’s arms and began to cry.
“Ye Chen, they’re bullying people. They’re in cahoots and they’re staging accidents.”
Ye Chen patted Xiaozi’s little head, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
At that moment, Xiaozi felt genuinely warm in Ye Chen’s embrace.
Even though she’s a big star, and has millions of fans, in reality, Xiaozi is very lonely.
Many things she can only handle by herself, and it feels extremely exhausting.
In the past, she had her younger brother, who also acted, and she could talk to him about things.
But now her younger brother has a girlfriend, so she feels embarrassed to disturb him.
Ye Chen saw the pitiful look on Xiaozi’s face, “Alright, is it necessary to cry over such a little thing?”
The old lady was pushed aside, was startled at first, then suddenly burst into wailing cries.
“In this world, hitting someone and still being so righteous, everyone look, is there anyone so unreasonable?”
The man flashed a vicious look, pointing at Ye Chen, “What do you mean, kid, are you looking for trouble?”
Saying this, the man swung his fist to punch Ye Chen.
But Ye Chen dodged, and then kicked the bald man in the stomach.
The bald man fell to the ground with a thud.
The old lady saw the bald man being kicked down, and became distressed.
“Everyone look, not only did they hit someone, they beat people too.”
The faces of the old man and middle-aged woman watching changed as well.
“Young man, you actually hit people in the street.”
“Is there no law and order?”
Ye Chen snorted coldly, “Watch carefully, it was him who hit me first, this is called self-defense. And, you all staging a scam like this to bully a girl, aren’t you ashamed?”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, a few people’s expressions changed.
The woman pointed at Ye Chen and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s staging accidents, clarify it? I have video evidence.”
Ye Chen snorted coldly, “Video evidence, great, show the video of the girl hitting someone, if there is one, we’ll admit it.”
“That, I didn’t have time to record,” the woman said, somewhat flustered.
Xiaozi also stood beside and said, “I was clearly helping her find medicine, definitely not stealing.”
“Humph, medicine, who can prove you were fetching medicine?” The woman snorted coldly.
Xiaozi was speechless.
Ye Chen stood in front of Xiaozi and said, “Do you have evidence that the girl hit someone?”
The old man stepped forward and said, “I saw it with my own eyes.”
Ye Chen nodded, “Oh, how strange, with so many people on the street, only you two saw the girl hit the old lady?”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, some onlookers began to whisper.
Someone even murmured quietly, “Actually, I saw it just now, it was the old lady who fell herself.”
Hearing the discussions around, several people panicked.
The bald man viciously said, “Kid, this matter is none of your business, I advise you not to meddle.”
Ye Chen snorted coldly, “Who says it has nothing to do with me, I am her friend, her matters are my matters, I’m going to take care of this.”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Xiaozi felt warm inside.
For the first time in years, she felt the sensation of relying on someone.
And having someone to rely on felt really good.
Ye Chen didn’t know, at this moment, Xiaozi’s fondness for him had broken through the roof.
Facing Ye Chen’s words, a few people frowned.
They all noticed this young man was much harder to deal with than that little girl.
The previously aggressive family began to feel a bit nervous.
The woman whispered to the middle-aged man, “Husband, this kid seems not easy to mess with.”
“Why don’t we just drop it?” The old lady climbed up from the ground and murmured.
“We’ve worked so hard to hook a big fish, yet to just let it go is unsatisfying.” The bald man whispered.
Even though their voices were low, Ye Chen heard them clearly.
This whole time, it was a family teaming up to extort.
The bald man gritted his teeth, “Forget it, the little girl is lucky.”
After some discussion, they were ready to sneak away.
Ye Chen snorted coldly, just tried to pick on a girl, and think you can just walk away? No way!
Seeing them about to turn and leave, Ye Chen suddenly spoke up, “Isn’t this all about money? Name your price.”
The group initially ready to leave, stopped when they heard Ye Chen, eyes lighting up.
“Wow, this kid actually wants to pay up?”
The bald man said, “Smart kid, look, the girl hit my mom, without a few thousand, we can’t let it go.”
The old lady started to wail beside him.
“Oh, my waist, my leg, it seems like it’s broken.”
The crowd was speechless; just a moment ago, you got up pretty swiftly.
Regarding these people, even the onlookers felt increasingly suspicious.
The bald man coldly said, “Originally, your friend hit my mom and stole my mom’s money, usually we should take this to the police, but since you seem sincere, just pay up and we won’t call the cops.”
Ye Chen impatiently said, “How much do you actually want, make it quick, I’m busy.”
Seeing Ye Chen’s attire, the bald man was secretly pleased, realizing this was a “big fish” they could extort.
They thought they could at least demand a thousand yuan.
The bald man coldly said, “To settle this, we need a figure.”
Ye Chen listened and nodded, “I thought how much, isn’t it a million?”
The scene went dead silent.
A million?
The man was dumbfounded, he had meant a thousand, how did it turn into a million?
This statement stunned even the onlookers.
Listening to the one million figure, the bald man felt breathless.
Wow, what luck today to bump into such a mega-rich fool.
The bald man quickly composed himself, nodded, “Right, a million, not a penny less.”
At this moment, Xiaozi began to worry: “Ye Chen, they’re clearly staging a scam, why give them money?”
Ye Chen smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
That said, Ye Chen addressed the bald man, “Honestly, buddy, a million seems a bit much, just how injured is your mom?”
At this, the old lady began her theatrical performance again, groaning.
“My waist hurts, my leg hurts, my butt hurts too.”
By now, the people around could see the old lady was just pretending.
Now everyone understood the old lady was clearly staging this.
If not, how was she so sprightly a moment ago, then so frail in the blink of an eye?
The old man came over to the old lady, pretended to touch her leg.
“The leg is indeed broken, seems it will take a year or two to recover, a million is already a very fair price.”
Ye Chen looked at their lousy performance with a cold laugh.
“Alright, a million it is, but let’s settle it all at once and don’t bother us afterward,” Ye Chen said calmly.
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the scene erupted once more.
