Chapter 1544: One Lie After Another (15)
“Bingo!” Mu Xiaoxiao snapped her fingers. Placing her hands on her hips and unfazed at his fierce expression, she pointed at his noise and stared into his eyes as he said, “Yes! You injured yourself! You’re so obviously deliberately running into cars so that you can demand compensation afterwards. How can you expect me to pay you?”
“Try not paying up and we’ll see what happens!” The man turned aggressive and hollered at her. He even stepped forward and tried to knock into Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao had precautions and took a step back.
However, she tripped over something accidentally. She staggered and lost her balance.
A lean arm held her up in time.
Mu Xiaoxiao did not need to see who it belong to to know it was Yin Shaojie. She smiled. Turning back, she hugged his arm.
“Yin Shaojie, what should we do? This person is being unreasonable.”
The man was ferocious. “You’re the unreasonable one. You’re the one who’s not paying compensation despite injuring me. Does law still exist? Sister, Brother, don’t you agree?”
The auntie by his side nodded in agreement. “That’s right. You should pay compensation since you hit him. Little girl, why are you so ill-hearted?”
Her, ill-hearted?
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at this auntie incredulously.
The auntie sneered and scolded, pointing at her nose, “Say, little girl, how did your parents raise you? Did they teach you manners? You have to pay compensation if you hit someone! That’s the right and proper thing to do!”
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. She hated it the most when people criticized her for not being well-brought up.
“What did you say!”
Yin Shaojie reached out his long arm and pressed her against his chest, holding her forehead with his large hand.
“Don’t be angry. I’ll deal with them.”
Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but to be angry, even though she knew that being angry at such unreasonable people was detrimental only to herself.
Yin Shaojie was straightforward as he glared at the man coolly and said, “You want compensation? Sure. Call the police and check up on your injury. If we are the ones who injured you, we will pay all your medical bills.”
Upon hearing the suggestion that the police should be called, the man became visibly nervous. “Call the police? Sure! I’ll call the police if you want me to!”
Just then, a person wearing police clothes walked over. He shouted, “Why is there a crowd here? What’s the matter?”
Immediately, the auntie started shouting, “Comrade Policeman, someone has been hit, but the person who injured him refuses to pay compensation. Hurry up and deal with it.”
“Someone has been hit? Who injured the person?” The policeman’s voice was a little loud.
“It’s them! It’s them! Comrade Policeman, you have to seek justice for me!” The man’s attitude changed immediately as he complained plaintively, a complete change from his previously fierce demeanor.
“Relax, if you have really been hit, they will take full responsibility for it. Was your injury caused by them? It looks serious,” the policeman exclaimed.
The man did not hesitate as he said, “My waist is injured too! My whole body is in pain! It’s real!”
“The medical bills for that would be quite a sum… Who’s the driver? How did you drive to hit someone like that? The policeman looked up and swept his eyes across. Upon meeting Mu Xiaoxiao and Yin Shaojie’s eyes, he froze.
Mu Xiaoxiao thought there was something off, especially with the policeman. Why did he look so familiar? She felt like she had seen him before.
“Uncle Policeman, he’s trying to scam us. He ran into the car on purpose,” she said.
The policeman’s gaze wavered. He coughed as though he was trying to hide something and said in a rougher voice than before, “The outcome of this matter cannot be determined easily. All of you have different stories, so we’ll need to ask the passersby. Did anyone witness the accident?”
