Zhu Ling: "..."

Without any hesitation, Bai Ze stretched out his hand and raised it high, looking very much like he was about to give Zhu Ling a hard slap across the face.

As for what Bai Ze was doing at the moment, Zhu Ling had no comment.

Wu Bin stepped in front of Zhu Ling without the slightest hesitation.

Zhu Ling raised her head and puffed out her chest, even a little pissed off: "If you’ve got the guts, hurry up and slap me, then I’ll just fall straight to the ground and say my whole body hurts and demand a million in compensation from you!"

"You!"

Bai Ze was furious: "How can you, as a woman, be so unreasonable here?"

He was livid.

He could practically see that two hundred thousand about to land in his hands; he absolutely couldn’t let this woman in front of him ruin it.

At the same time, Bai Ze said with great certainty, "Since you’ve decided to call the police and have them handle it, then hurry up and call the police."

"Anyway, all the medical expenses for my father, plus my mental damages and whatnot, you must pay for them. If you don’t, we’ll take it to court."

"And you look so young; you probably don’t want this incident to ruin your whole life and turn you into garbage that everyone despises."

Back then Bai Ze looked like he was earnestly trying to persuade Wu Bin, saying a whole bunch of stuff right in front of him.

But Wu Bin just stared at him indifferently the whole time, completely unaffected by that tirade he’d just spewed.

Facing the shameless nonsense pouring out of the other man’s mouth, Wu Bin nodded slightly: "I actually think what you just said makes a lot of sense."

"So from here on, we definitely have to do exactly what you said and call the police right away."

...

Just as they were heatedly arguing over the matter, the police were already rushing over.

When the officers saw Wu Bin, their expressions froze.

They hadn’t expected this incident to end up involving Wu Bin again; no wonder Shantou had just instructed them they had to handle this properly and not give certain people any loopholes to exploit.

As soon as Bai Ze saw the police, he stormed up and started complaining in front of them: "These young people suddenly crashed into my father, which caused multiple injuries all over his body."

"The most important thing is that my father is now mentally confused. I have to hold them accountable. I only asked them to pay some mental damages and medical expenses, and they flatly refused."

"I hope the police can stand up for me as soon as possible and severely punish this person right here." He marched up to the officers back then and shamelessly blurted all this out. The police were actually pretty shocked when they heard him.

On the way over, they had already heard how big this incident had blown up, and had specifically watched the video.

Only then did they realize that Wu Bin and his friends had stepped up out of kindness to help.

But the moment Bai Ze showed up, he dumped all the dirty water on Wu Bin and even spoke as if it were beyond doubt.

"On our way here just now, we already watched the on-site surveillance footage and their livestream. The truth is, when they were still some distance away from your father, your father had already fallen."

"They stood up purely out of goodwill to help your father and called 120, but now you’re forcibly trying to pin all the responsibility on this young man."

When Bai Ze heard what the police said, his face turned very ugly.

He had thought he could use this opportunity to squeeze out a big sum of money.

Who could have expected things to be completely different from what he’d imagined.

He was so mad he was about to explode, his tone turning vicious.

"Aren’t you people supposed to be here to help innocent ordinary folks like us? How can you suddenly pull something like this? They obviously have a problem. It’s bad enough that you refuse to stand on my side—how can you even try to hold me responsible?"

Bai Ze was stunned by what they said, and he snapped back, clearly displeased: "Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this? Or is it because the other side has money, so you’re deliberately dumping everything on me?"

"Yeah, we’re just ordinary people, but that doesn’t mean you can trample all over us like this."

Bai Ze grumbled about it furiously, his dissatisfaction with the whole thing sky-high.

He was burning with anger, and his tone grew extremely impatient.

"Were you all in on this from the start? Otherwise how could you just show up and immediately convict me?"

"And that surveillance video you mentioned—you’d better show it to me right now. I don’t believe it!"

"The way you people do things..."

He was furious.

Bai Ze had thought the opportunity had finally landed in his lap.

He hadn’t expected things to blow up halfway through like this.

He was about to be driven mad with anger.

He was furious.

His face twisted with rage.

"You’re obviously all colluding to pin this disgusting setup on me. How do you even have the nerve to pull something like this?"

"And as for that video, I absolutely won’t just believe it that easily!"

He came up with all kinds of excuses for himself, stuck in his own shock.

Wu Bin: "..."

Listening to his shameless rambling, Wu Bin just found him ridiculously pathetic.

When all the evidence was laid out in front of him, he still refused to admit any of it was real.

The worst part was—

He was still racking his brains for excuses for himself.

Faced with that whole disgusting act, Wu Bin couldn’t even be bothered to keep arguing.

Wu Bin was innocent.

And Wu Bin’s stance couldn’t be clearer.

"If I had really hit your father, I would immediately pay compensation and even hire a lawyer to handle the matter."

"But what happened to your father has nothing to do with me from beginning to end, and yet my good intentions have been ruthlessly trampled under your feet."

"What you’ve done is so disgusting it’s made me realize, deep down, that sometimes you really can’t afford to be too kind."

Wu Bin was very disappointed.
