Chapter 749: Chapter 734 Drunk Driving

Su Xuan had realized early on that these people were all part of the same scheme. Thinking about it, their extortion really was painstakingly executed, starting with the old man’s intentional fall, which was the first step of their plan.

The old man didn’t fall to the ground to scam drivers with a fake accident. In fact, his real target was a bottle of perfume. This bottle was modified so that a single spray absorbed through the nostrils would simulate drunkenness—even if stopped by traffic police, it could result in a positive breathalyzer test for drunk driving.

The bottle of mineral water had also been switched. It was actually lychee water. Anyone who has driven a car knows that eating three fresh lychees can lead to a positive breathalyzer test for drunk driving, which is quite a nasty trick.

The appearance of the man suddenly crossing the street was also calculated. He certainly had no intention of letting Liu Ruobing hit him; his sudden appearance was just to make Liu Ruobing brake instinctively. Then came the third step, having the man on the bicycle deliberately crash into them.

This was indeed a nasty trick. Many shameless people specifically linger around KTV bars, waiting for those who have had a few drinks to drive away so that they can intentionally rear-end them on motorcycles or bicycles.

Then they’d take out their phones, pretending to call the police. At that point, over 80% of people choose to settle privately, even if they know it’s a scam. They just accept their bad luck because drunk driving is taken very seriously in Huaxia. Once you’ve had a drink, you are basically considered in the wrong, regardless of the circumstances.

If the traffic police really showed up, the first step would be to tow the car away. Since people in Huaxia prefer to avoid trouble, they’d rather accept the loss than make things too complicated.

Clearly, the group Su Xuan encountered today belonged to this merciless type of scammers, particularly after they realized Liu Ruobing was a novice, which made them see even greater opportunities.

As a result, Liu Ruobing had indeed been tricked. Had it not been for Su Xuan, he would have been forced to part with thirty to fifty thousand yuan today. In such a situation, had he called the police and his BMW been towed, he might have been immediately fired when he returned to his company.

“Damn it, get lost, and don’t let me see you guys again, or I won’t be so nice!”

Su Xuan was also venting his anger on these scammers. He had intended to play the role of the Beauty Guardian out of kindness, but instead of being hailed as a hero, he was blamed by the beauty. Thinking about it, Su Xuan felt that indeed, being a good person was hard, and maybe he needed to reconsider before doing a good deed next time.

Though these guys were resentful, they knew they had met their match today. A wise man knows better than to pick battles he can’t win. If the situation escalated, it would be bad for everyone involved. What they were doing was nothing less than gang fraud, and getting caught could be disastrous.

“Kid, you, just you wait.”

The man who had just crashed his bicycle into the BMW dropped a threatening line before quickly leading his cronies away. If they didn’t leave then, staying would only make things worse.

After those people had left, Liu Ruobing felt helpless. Only now did she realize that all of them had been in it together, performing a series of linked extortions. Honestly, at that moment, Liu Ruobing found herself unable to comprehend society.

It used to be said that fraudsters were detestable, but why has open extortion become so rampant nowadays? Is it still possible to drive peacefully, to live peacefully? Why has this situation arisen?

What further drove Liu Ruobing to despair was actually her job situation. Going to meet a client now was unrealistic, and she didn’t know how to explain the matter to her manager now.

“Uh, that, sorry, I might have messed up your situation!”

Ye Kai rubbed his nose, somewhat embarrassed, thinking that his handling of the situation might have been inappropriate. His current power almost made him invincible in the whole city, sitting at the pyramid’s top with his own company. Honestly, such a position meant he didn’t have to struggle to make a living.

But many others aren’t the same. Out of billions of people worldwide, how many can afford to look at the world and its turmoil with detachment? Very few, indeed. Most people must hustle for basic necessities their whole lives.

Having Ye Kai say this made Liu Ruobing squat down and start to sob. Her life had not been easy. She had to support her family with her earnings in a hostile environment, where a typical salary of just over 3,000 yuan a month was not enough to sustain her life.

It had taken her great effort to enter Dingsheng Group, a dominant large-scale company where even a probationary period salary was 5,000 yuan, and regular employment could easily bring in over 10,000 yuan. This made her especially cherish her job.

To someone like Liu Ruobing, who might think about earning as soon as she opened her eyes, money was crucial. Although it’s said that money isn’t everything, without it, she couldn’t move an inch.

Now, she faced the risk of being fired. For the future, she suddenly lost her focus; in that moment, Liu Ruobing was truly overwhelmed.

If given a chance to choose again, she would have preferred being scammed out of 30,000 yuan, as with enough effort, she could earn it back quickly. However, if fired by Dingsheng, she might never return there.

In that moment, her heart was bleeding, feeling helpless, she shook her head and then stood up, holding back her tears. No matter how hard or exhausting life was, she still had to face it alone. She glanced at Su Xuan and said softly.

“Thanks for your help today, goodbye!”

Liu Ruobing said stiffly, then got into the car, drove the BMW back the way she had come, while Ye Kai watched her leaving figure, feeling somewhat bitter. He had intended to do a good deed, but now it seemed more like he had done something wrong.

“Forget it, no point overthinking. Thinking too much only hurts the brain. I’ll just go handle that FlyingKnife Hall first!”

Su Xuan said, returning to his Porsche. As he drove following the navigation, he couldn’t help but think of Liu Ruobing’s fragile inner self contrasting with her resilient exterior.
