241 Extortion

ask such a stupid question"After a slight pause, Xia Tian said, "I’ll just give him a call right now."Xia Tian took out his phone and dialed Bai Xialei's number: "Little Black, where are you""Brother...Chapter 241: Extortion - Wuyou Chinese Network

The traffic police officer's move earned praise from the onlookers.

"Impressive, this traffic police officer really has eagle eyes!"

"I think he should become a detective; he must be exceptionally skilled at solving cases!"

"This is what a good cop looks like, not caring about the other party's identity at all!"

"Such a fine traffic police officer isn't common anymore. I'm worried that he won't be able to come to work tomorrow."

Mu Han was furious; there wasn’t any alcohol in her car. Clearly, someone had secretly placed the bottle inside just moments ago. Given how chaotic the scene was, she hadn’t noticed this detail. Since even she didn’t realize it, neither did the spectators around them, and thus, Mu Han became the target of everyone’s ire.

"Well then, how much money do you want" Mu Han gritted her teeth as she asked. Although someone of her status could easily handle such matters, she was too lazy to deal with it and just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She wasn’t afraid of the two people trying to extort her but didn't wish to clash with the ordinary citizens who had been misled.

"Is money that great"

"First, arrest her and take her to the police station!"

"Exactly. Put her in jail; let's see how she acts then!"

"She looks like a demoness, just because she’s attached herself to some wealthy man. Does she think money can solve everything"...

Around were accusations, but the traffic police spoke again: "Everyone, don't get excited. It's not important to catch someone; what's important is saving lives first. Since this lady is willing to pay, let’s accept it and send the victim to the hospital."

The man who had lost his hand also looked in pain: "Yes, I can’t hold on anymore. Alright, just give me five thousand, I need to go to the hospital first. If that's not enough, I’ll come back for more."

He asked for five thousand right away; indeed, he had quite an appetite, but it was understandable as there was a chance to make a fraudulent claim.

"Alright then, here’s your five thousand!" Mu Han agreed readily and quickly wrote out a check, preparing to hand it over to the man who lost his hand.

The man's face flashed with uncontrollable excitement; he had just gotten five thousand. Losing one hand was worth it.

Even the traffic police’s eyes gleamed with joy; this money was too easy to earn, it was literally risk-free profit.

The crowd around them felt a bit disappointed; five thousand wasn’t much for a truly wealthy person. They believed that this guy who got hit by a car had been bought off again. Damn, being rich really is impressive!

But suddenly, the situation changed. Just as the man who lost his hand was about to grasp the check, someone snatched it away.

"What are you doing" The man whose hand was severed immediately flew into a rage; the five thousand that had just been within reach was gone. He yelled at the person ruining his dream.

"Husband, give him the money; it's only five thousand," Mu Han couldn't help but plead too. The one who snatched away the check was Xia Tian.

“Why should I give it to him” Xia Tian ripped the check in half and then crumbled it into powder with his palm, which blew away in the wind.

This move left everyone staring in shock. Was this guy a magician Otherwise, how could he turn a check into dust

"Honey, don't be so petty over such a small amount of money!" Mu Han still didn’t want to cause trouble and continued persuading Xia Tian.

"That’s unacceptable. No one can extort my wife." Xia Tian had his principles; 50,000 yuan was also just pocket change for him, but he wasn't concerned about the money either way. However, being willing to pay out of goodwill was one thing, while being forced to pay due to extortion was another matter entirely. How could someone extort his wife

"That’s outrageous! Not giving any compensation even after hitting a person!"

"Why don’t we take him to the police station"

"Exactly, let's take him to the police station!"

The crowd began to jeer again. The traffic cop looked at Xia Tian with a stern expression: "Sir, if that’s how you feel, then we’ll have to take both of you to the police station."

"Do you dare go to the police station" Xia Tian sneered. "Who are you trying to scare I’m not even sure if you’re really a cop. Even if you are, you’re no good cop. You and that fool are in cahoots; do you think I don’t know about it"

"Sir, please don’t speak nonsense!" The traffic cop’s face changed slightly as he angrily rebuked him.

"I never speak nonsense," Xia Tian sneered. "It was you who put the bottle of alcohol in the car; nobody else noticed it, but I saw everything clearly."

The area erupted into a commotion, but Xia Tian didn’t wait for them to react and instead looked at everyone disapprovingly: "All of you shut up!"

"Sir, please don’t slander me!" The traffic cop was very indignant.

"I have no interest in slandering a fool like you," Xia Tian said lazily. "You say this bottle of alcohol is ours, then why is the cap of the bottle inside your shirt pocket I saw with my own eyes how you twisted off the cap and put it into your shirt pocket; are you willing to let someone check your shirt pocket"

"Nonsense, how could this be possible" The traffic police officer looked furious.

"Then get someone to search him!" Xia Tian glanced lazily at the crowd. "Hey, you guys aren't so full of righteous indignation Why doesn't anyone come and search him"

The group exchanged glances but no one actually stepped forward to search the traffic police officer. This was how things worked in this world; many people talked tough but when it came down to doing something, they lacked the courage. If they encountered someone who could be bullied, they would gang up and attack him together, but if they met a formidable opponent, they would run far away, at most muttering curses behind his back.

"No one is willing to search, I'll do it myself." Xia Tian said as he prepared to act.

The traffic police officer barked sharply: "You're not a cop! Even if you were, you wouldn't have the right to casually search someone's body!"

"Let me handle this," Mu Han stepped forward and pulled out an ID, showing it to the traffic police officer. "Unfortunately for you, I do have the authority to search your person."

The traffic police officer’s face instantly turned pale; Mu Han was indeed a real police officer, so he recognized that ID. At this moment, he realized he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have.

Initially intending to resist, the traffic police officer now didn't dare move and could only watch as Mu Han reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a bottle cap which perfectly matched the open Maotai aged liquor.

The surroundings fell silent; the evidence was right before them, making it impossible for anyone to deny what had happened.

"Now can you two just go away" Mu Han huffed indignantly.

“We'll leave immediately!” The traffic police officer looked at Mu Han fearfully and turned around to flee. With this action, he admitted his frame-up behavior, convincing even those who were skeptical before that the two had indeed conspired to stage a hit-and-run.

"Damn it! These scoundrels actually deceived us, beat them up!" Someone shouted, and in an instant, dozens of people rushed forward. The unfortunate traffic police officer and the man with a broken hand couldn’t escape in time, getting swallowed up by this sea of people’s wrath. Suffering cries could be heard continuously; it didn't take long before these two unfortunate souls were unrecognizable.

As for Mu Han and Xia Tian, they had already gotten into the car and left quickly. Whether those two people lived or died was something they didn’t care about.

But after this incident happened, Mu Han no longer felt like driving around to look for a restaurant. After crossing an intersection, she drove a few hundred meters ahead and saw a Hunan restaurant, so she parked her car in front of the entrance and got out to go inside.

After eating who knows how many chili peppers and increasing her chance of getting pimples by several hundred times, Mu Han finally finished lunch. However, right after that, she suddenly didn’t know what to do next.

She had come to Jianghai City originally to carry out another mission, but now the mission had been stopped, and Ydyo had already left Jianghai; only she was still here, which made her feel a bit lost for a moment.

Afther thinking about it, Mu Han finally understood that she didn’t need to think too much because her current task was simply to find an opportunity to kill Xia Tian. In other words, all she needed to do was follow him around, and what he should be concerned with was his own business.

"Honey, let's go play at the North Lake," suggested Xia Tian after finishing his meal.

"North Lake" Mu Han knew where that place was. "Husband, it doesn't seem to have much fun stuff there."

"You can swim there," said Xia Tian.

“Do you like swimming” asked Mu Han in a puzzled tone.

Xia Tian nodded his head: “Honey, I want to see you swim.”

“What’s so good about watching me swim” Mu Han still couldn’t figure it out.

"When you’re swimming, you’ll be wearing a swimsuit!" Xia Tian finally said what he really wanted to say.

Mu Han immediately understood that this lecher was still thinking about her great figure. Previously, he had wanted her to buy sexy lingerie on the pedestrian street, and now he was trying to persuade her to wear a swimsuit because he wanted to see her in revealing clothes.

"Husband, if you really want to see me like that, I can do it at home. As for swimming, forget about it—I don’t particularly enjoy water."

Summer suddenly became happy: "Wife, shall we go back now"

Mu Han found herself laughing and crying at the same time; couldn't he be less eager

"Husband, I want to take a drive outside for a while longer. Let's head home later."

Summer was somewhat disappointed but wanted to continue persuading Mu Han to come back early so that she could show off her swimsuit at home. Just then, his phone rang again, and the number showed an unknown caller.

"Who is it" Summer answered with a bad temper. Who would ruin his plans

"Brother-in-law, it’s me—Liu Gang."

“Is that you What do you want” Summer asked with little interest.

"Brother-in-law, do you remember Tong Fei" Liu Gang quickly asked before Summer could speak. Without waiting for an answer, he rushed to explain: "The girl who was seen on the football field with that scoundrel Yang Fei."

“I know her. What’s up” Summer still had some impression of this girl.

"Brother-in-law, she just called me and asked me to go over to her place!" Liu Gang sounded very pleased; it was normal for him to be happy as the girl he liked suddenly invited him to her home.Xia Tian stopped."Wife Meiyu, were you waiting for me for lunch" Xia Tian asked in surprise when he saw Meiyu standing not far ahead of him."I didn’t wait for you," Meiyu denied outright. "I’ve alread...
