Upon hearing the threat from the rich second generation and even bringing up the deputy director Li from the bureau, the older policemen found themselves in a dilemma.
On one side, there was the wealthy individual driving a multi-million-dollar luxury car, whose identity was certainly not simple. On the other side, they had connections within the police bureau and should not be underestimated.
Neither side was someone he could afford to offend, so what could be done?
"Old Yang, how about..."
Upon hearing the words from the rich second generation, the young policeman gave a meaningful look, naturally showing his bias toward that side. A two million-dollar Ferrari and the deputy director's uncle, this was a huge opportunity. Even if they didn't suck up to them, they couldn't afford to offend them.
Seeing Old Yang's hesitation, the young policeman became anxious too.
What was there to hesitate about? It was clear that the rich second generation had the upper hand. Could fairness and justice truly be upheld?
The older policeman glanced at the young policeman, sighing inwardly. It seemed the young officer hadn't yet learned to navigate this world. In this bustling city, there were plenty of wealthy people and those with connections. Even an ordinary person should not easily offend others. It would be best to handle this matter impartially. The young officer didn't seem to understand the true value of Ye Xuan's car, which had reached a value of millions. How could it be so simple?
"If you two are unwilling to settle this privately, then I'm afraid you will have to visit the police station!"
He couldn't afford to offend either party, so he would let the higher-ups handle this.
"What, go to the police station? Are you joking? I am very busy."
The rich second generation impatiently glanced at the policeman. Did they really intend to favor that poor guy? He took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, uncle, I got into a car accident, and your little policemen at the station said I am mainly at fault. Okay, okay!"
He handed the phone to the older policeman, wearing an unpleasant expression. "Here, it's Deputy Director Li's phone."
After taking the phone, the older policeman repeatedly agreed. After all, Li was his superior, and he was just an ordinary policeman. How could he dare to disobey orders?
Soon, the rich second generation's argument of being mostly at fault changed to blaming it on Ye Xuan.
"Kid, quickly compensate me. I just bought this car recently. A million is enough!"
"Haha!"
Did he think he was the only person here? Ye Xuan wasn't in a hurry. "Give me your account number. I'll transfer two million to you, and you can get rid of this junky Ferrari!"
"Buy, buy it!"
The rich second generation thought he must have misheard. Was he really going to spend two million to buy his car? It would take a real rich guy to say something like that. He gave his account number without hesitation.
Without hesitation, Ye Xuan started to transfer the money, not caring about the two million at all.
"Alright, the money has been transferred."
Sure enough, shortly afterward, the rich second generation received the notification of the money being credited to his account and showed a happy expression, thinking to himself, "This guy is really foolish. It's true that his car was expensive when it was purchased, but it's no longer worth that much now. With this money, he can easily buy another luxury car."
At this moment, Ye Xuan faintly said, "So, should you be compensating me now?"
Was he someone who would easily suffer losses? Giving the other party money was just luring them into a trap, and they were too pleased with themselves.
The rich second generation was in a very good mood at the moment and gestured grandly, "I don't think your car is worth that much money. I'll give you a hundred thousand at most!"
A hundred thousand at most? How shameless!
"When I bought this car, it cost sixteen million Huaxia coins. Yes, I bought it just the other day. After that hit just now, many parts have been damaged. I don't want much, just compensate me with five hundred thousand, and that will be about right!"
"Sixteen million! And you want another five hundred thousand!"
Gulp!
The rich second generation was completely stunned. He had thought it was just a car worth a few hundred thousand, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Sixteen million, that was more than five times the value of his Ferrari. How was that possible?
This was definitely a swindle, absolutely a swindle!
"Kid, are you out of your mind? For your car, you want sixteen million!" The other party simply couldn't believe this price. It was completely outrageous. They had never even heard of this brand. How could it be worth sixteen million? It was ridiculous.
"Don't believe me?"
Ye Xuan directly took out the contract from his car and slapped it on the rich second generation's face. "Take a close look. Is it true or not?"
"This, this..."
As the rich second generation looked at the contract in his hand, he was completely dumbfounded. He had thought the other party was just a small-time mistress, but he never expected her to be driving a luxury car worth millions. No matter how humble her background might be, a person like that couldn't possibly be lacking in wealth.
Damn, do all wealthy people like to play like this?
When you buy a million-dollar sports car, everyone can tell at a glance, and it can reduce trouble. But no, you prefer to drive such a low-key car.
But what can being wealthy do for you? His uncle is the deputy chief of the police bureau. No matter how rich you are, you'd better behave yourself.
"You want compensation? What do I have to compensate for? The responsibility for the accident was entirely yours!" the rich second generation said arrogantly, showing no signs of remorse.
"Is that so?" Ye Xuan sneered. Since things had come to this, he wouldn't blame himself.
He immediately took out his phone and called Zhang Dong. Although he didn't want to owe anyone any favors, he couldn't let himself be bullied. The more you appear weak in this society, the more others will think they can take advantage of you.
After briefly explaining the situation, Zhang Dong asked Ye Xuan to wait and hung up.
The consequences of this call were significant, causing a stir among the higher-ups in the city.
The city mayor's face turned pale after taking a call and immediately phoned Chief Zhao of the police bureau, even scolding him fiercely.
Initially, Chief Zhao was leisurely sipping tea with his legs crossed and humming a tune. But as he saw the mayor's call, he promptly stood up and respectfully answered the phone.
"Well, Zhao Jianye, you've really outdone yourself. Look at the mess you've made, offending someone you shouldn't have. Is it that this chief of yours doesn't want to work anymore!"
A torrent of scolding came through the phone, leaving Chief Zhao bewildered.
He hadn't done anything today, so why was the mayor so furious? He had been dutifully going to work and leaving on time in recent days.
He cautiously inquired, "Mr. Mayor, what have I done recently?"
"You have the nerve to ask me? Look at your deputy named Li, how dare he offend the wrong person! Immediately, make him resolve the matter, beg for forgiveness, and if he doesn't, he won't have a job tomorrow!"
And with that, the mayor abruptly hung up the phone.
"Deputy Chief Li, isn't that Li Yuan? Damn, the mistake he made is making me take the blame!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he immediately called Li Yuan.
Glancing at the number on the screen, Li Yuan immediately answered, "Chief Zhao, what's the matter with your call!"
"Do you still remember I'm the chief? I thought you were the chief!"
Zhang Jianye's tone was extremely confrontational, giving no face at all.
What's going on?
Li Yuan was puzzled. What's wrong with the chief today? Has he lost his temper?
