"You're not doing so well either, are you? You've only chased for less than a kilometer and you're already giving up?"
"As a grown man, how can I say I can't do it? Let's keep going!" Lin Xiaotian even beckoned with his finger.
The man looked to be in his forties, wearing the uniform of a sanitation worker. He appeared disheveled at the moment, especially his gaze, which burned with extreme anger, as if he had been greatly insulted.
Fire blazed in his triangular eyes. It was the first time he had encountered someone so provocative.
He had attempted staged accidents dozens of times and had never failed. Yet today, he had been toyed with by this guy. He had been waiting here for a long time. He had seen this car driving earlier. The car wasn't an exceptionally expensive luxury vehicle, not exceeding 800,000 yuan.
Professional scammers specifically targeted the most suitable victims. He had noticed that the car didn't have a dashcam. The most crucial issue was that this type of car generally wouldn't dare to hit someone fatally, as they weren't the kind of big shots driving supercars.
Moreover, people like this were middle-class, capable of parting with a good amount of money. The key problem was that there were no cameras on this stretch of road.
But he hadn't expected the other party to be so despicable. He had already prepared to give up, and that little brat actually provoked him.
Without any hesitation, he charged directly towards them.
Lin Xiaotian didn't continue to reverse; he just watched.
By the time the middle-aged man reached his car's hood, a ferocious smile had already spread across his face.
He directly sat down on the ground, grabbed the car's bumper, and repeatedly slammed his head against the front of the car.
He dazed himself, blood trickling down his forehead. A more twisted, ferocious smile appeared on his face as he grinned at Lin Xiaotian, then lay down on the ground, placing his leg under the car's wheel.
A bright smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "I must say, you're quite dedicated. This is the first time I've seen a scammer injure himself so badly."
"Doesn't your head hurt?"
The middle-aged man glared at Lin Xiaotian with intense anger in his eyes. "You don't need to worry about whether I can get at least 100,000 yuan now. Otherwise, I'll call and report you."
"I'm recording with my phone right now. If you can't compensate me quickly, we'll meet at the hospital. With all my injuries, a simple examination and treatment at the hospital will cost over 100,000 yuan."
"And at that time, you'll also have to compensate me for emotional distress and much, much more."
"If you don't want any trouble, you'd better take out the money right now. Ten thousand yuan is nothing to you."
"You can afford a car worth five or six hundred thousand, so you won't care about ten thousand yuan. Better to pay to avoid disaster."
Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even more pronounced. "What if I refuse to pay?"
"Refuse?"
The middle-aged man said fiercely, "If you refuse to compensate, then you're finished. Let me tell you, I'm a sanitation worker. You hit me with your car, and once I post it online, I'll tell everyone about your arrogant behavior."
"Those who don't know the truth will definitely curse you endlessly, and your reputation will be ruined. Even if I don't get compensation, I'll just have a bloody head. I don't care about that. All I care about is money. Money in my pocket is mine."
"And ten thousand yuan can resolve all this endless trouble for you. It's a very worthwhile deal for you."
Lin Xiaotian chuckled. "Have you considered that my car has a dashcam?"
"Nonsense. I checked just now, and your car doesn't have one."
The middle-aged man said triumphantly, "And your car is new; it doesn't even have license plates yet. You can't fool me. I'm the ancestor of this profession."
"Now, honestly, take out the money, and we'll settle this. This is the consequence of your earlier provocation."
"If you hadn't provoked me earlier, I would have just taken ten thousand yuan and left. I didn't want to anger rich people like you. But you played with me again and again, even beckoning me. Now you've learned your lesson, haven't you?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile became more evident. Looking at the man's smug expression, he didn't seem anxious at all. He took out his phone and pointed it directly at the middle-aged man.
"Do you want me to lend you my phone so you can call directly?"
"I've already left evidence. As soon as the police arrive, they can take you away. I'll calculate how many years you'll serve for staging accidents and extortion."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face showed suspicion. But seeing Lin Xiaotian's confident demeanor, he felt a bit uncertain. He got up from the ground and carefully examined the front windshield of the car.
He truly couldn't find any dashcam. "Kid, are you trying to bluff me?"
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Why don't you try it yourself?"
"The phone is right here anyway. Whether you want to make this call depends on you. If you want to call, then get lost immediately. I'm too lazy to deal with you. Otherwise, make the call and send yourself to jail."
"I'll tell you that there's no such thing as regret in this world."
The middle-aged man glanced around, noticing that no one was paying attention. His face showed fierceness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Take out all the cash you have on you right now."
"Let me tell you, if you dare to resist, I won't hesitate to stab you. I've never been so wronged. I almost killed myself, and I didn't get a single cent. If this gets out, people will laugh me to death."
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "So, after failing to stage an accident, you're resorting to outright robbery?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'm just bluffing? You know that the consequences of forcing the issue are even more severe."
He had nothing else to do, so he decided to toy with this guy.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. "There are no cameras around anyway. What can you do even if I rob you?"
"And I'm lying here, so even if you have a dashcam, you won't be able to see me. Honestly, hand over the money, or don't blame me for my blade being blind."
He glared, deliberately putting on an extremely ferocious expression, and pulled out a dagger from his person. The gleaming blade looked menacing.
Lin Xiaotian's smile became even more pronounced. "Actually, you guessed right. This car doesn't have a dashcam. This is just a new car my friend bought, and he's letting me use it as a temporary ride."
