Chapter 277: Chapter 0277: Lin Xue Comes Again

"I’ll just pay the money!"

Shen Yan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said, this transaction had turned into a pure loss.

"Then hurry up and bring it, I want cash."

Tang Ming’s eyes sparkled as he stretched out his hand, ten thousand yuan, ah! He could eat back the energy he had expended multiple times over, and even make a small profit.

"Ten thousand is too much, can we make it a little less?"

Shen Yan lowered her voice, preparing to bargain with Tang Ming.

"So how much are you prepared to give?"

Tang Ming also knew that asking for ten thousand was a bit excessive and was willing to reduce the claim a bit. He couldn’t scam Shen Yan all at once; it had to be a slow and steady process.

"At most a thousand."

Shen Yan bit her lip and held up one finger.

"You bastard, that’s not how you haggle, it’s way too insincere."

Tang Ming exploded, this was just ridiculous.

"You’re completely fine right now whereas my car needs to go in for repairs, and that’s going to cost several thousands, inside and out."

Shen Yan said with an unhappy face, "Giving you a thousand is already not bad, considering you’re not injured."

"No way, whether I’m injured or not is my business, but you hitting me with your car is your issue. You were the one trying to kill me; you have to pay a hundred thousand, not a penny less."

Tang Ming’s attitude was firm. He had thought that if Shen Yan could give him eight or ten thousand, he would accept it, but she offered only a thousand. That wasn’t even enough for a decent meal.

"You’re trying to scam me, I don’t have the money."

Shen Yan became angry too, after all, Tang Ming wasn’t injured, and making a fuss wouldn’t be too troublesome.

"What’s going on here, why are so many people gathered?"

Just when Shen Yan and Tang Ming were at a standstill, Officer Lin Xue, who was on patrol, happened to pass by.

"Ah, Policewoman Auntie, save me! This woman tried to run me over with her car, and she won’t pay up."

The moment Tang Ming saw Lin Xue, his head grew bigger and he immediately started shouting, needing to make sure Lin Xue knew he was the victim, otherwise he might get arrested again.

"The police are here!"

Shen Yan’s complexion changed slightly, her identity couldn’t be exposed, and she hated dealing with the police the most.

Seeing that it was Tang Ming who was calling for help, Lin Xue quickly approached to inquire about the situation, her first reaction was that Tang Ming had suffered retaliation from the Qin Family.

Noticing that Lin Xue and Tang Ming seemed to know each other, Shen Yan’s face turned sour. In a stroke of inspiration, she shouted loudly, "Officer, this guy is faking an accident, he’s trying to extort me."

"What?"

Tang Ming was stunned and stared at Shen Yan in disbelief. This woman was really good at stirring up trouble and talking nonsense.

"Officer Lin, don’t listen to his rubbish. Everyone here can prove that she tried to run me over with her car!"

Worried Lin Xue might misunderstand, Tang Ming immediately pointed to the surrounding people for confirmation, but...

As soon as the police arrived, the previously indignant onlookers all fell silent, not uttering a word. Once the authorities got involved, it would mean trouble, and nobody wanted to bring problems upon themselves.

"Won’t you say something?"

Seeing that no one was responding, Tang Ming shouted in frustration.

"Officer, you see? No one can prove she hit me, on the contrary, he’s been clinging to me, demanding I compensate him a hundred thousand yuan."

Shen Yan was also surprised by the reaction of the crowd but immediately used it to her advantage, shouting loudly, "A hundred thousand yuan! That’s enough to compensate for a death."

"Tang Ming, what exactly happened?"

Lin Xue was also at a loss for a moment, particularly because Tang Ming did not appear to have been hit by a car.

"It’s really her who tried to run me over with her car. Look, the car’s front is dented. If I didn’t possess some skill, I’d have been hit to death by now."

Tang Ming pointed over and shouted.

"Heh, since the car’s front is dented, then please tell me, where are your injuries?"

Shen Yan sneered repeatedly as she interrogated.

"I..."

Tang Ming looked down at himself, cursing in his mind, "Damn it, my Protective Divine Skill is just too overbearing, not even a scratch left. Had I known, I should have pretended to be severely injured by the hit!"

"Where exactly is your injury?"

Shen Yan pressed aggressively.

"I sustained an internal injury from the impact."

Tang Ming clutched his chest, dramatically crying out, "Internal bleeding, I’m dying."

"What a joke."

Shen Yan rolled her eyes at Tang Ming and turned to Lin Xue, "You saw it yourself; this guy doesn’t have a single injury, yet he insists I hit him and demands compensation. He’s clearly running a scam. Arrest this fraudster at once to prevent any further mischief."

"Who’s causing trouble? If you didn’t hit me, then how do you explain the dent in your car?"

Tang Ming retorted unsatisfied.

"That was already there."

Shen Yan defended herself.

"Oh, really? That level of damage has already wrecked the engine. Try starting the car right now, let me see!"

Tang Ming smirked, fully aware of the damage he had inflicted on the car.

"If you can start this car, we can consider our issue settled."

"I, what if I say I hit a utility pole?"

Shen Yan’s complexion shifted subtly as she continued to equivocate.

"Do you take us for blind? Where is there a utility pole around here?"

Tang Ming gave Shen Yan a contemptuous look and angrily stated, "Your car got damaged from hitting me."

"Everybody shut up."

Seeing Tang Ming and Shen Yan arguing noisily, Lin Xue called out with a stern face, "Both of you, come with me to the police station; I will find out the truth."

"Officer, just arrest this scammer, there’s no need for me to go to the station, right?"

Shen Yan frowned slightly, a bit apprehensive.

"What’s the matter, feeling guilty?"

Tang Ming stared at Shen Yan, boldly declaring, "I have nothing to fear if I’m innocent; I’ll go with the officer to the police station."

"Ahem, it’s ’innocent have nothing to fear’!"

Lin Xue coughed, correcting him.

"My foot’s twisted; is that all right?"

Tang Ming blinked, meekly asking.

"Yes, that will do. Let’s go!"

Lin Xue’s mouth twitched slightly before she could even lift her hand, Tang Ming had already skillfully ducked into the police car.

"Miss, let’s go!"

Lin Xue looked coldly at Shen Yan, worried that Shen Yan might be the assassin hired by the Qin Family to retaliate against Tang Ming. Otherwise, there would be no reason to hit someone with a car. Therefore, she needed to go back and investigate thoroughly.

"Alright."

Shen Yan sighed reluctantly and then followed into the police car. Her BMW was no longer drivable and had to be left for a towing service to deal with.

Lin Xue drove Tang Ming and Shen Yan toward the police station. In the back seat, the interaction between Tang Ming and Shen Yan was exceedingly...discordant.

"It’s my first time being this close to a target—an excellent opportunity for an assassination."

As she looked at Tang Ming, who was leaning back in his seat and closing his eyes as if to sleep, Shen Yan narrowed her eyes to slits and felt torn,

"Murdering someone in front of a cop will surely bring trouble later. But forget it, I’ll kill this bastard first. As long as I’m discreet about it, I should be able to detach myself from the situation. Worst comes to worst, I’ll move somewhere else and continue living after I get the commission."
