Even After My Death-Chapter 633 - 536: Jiang Ning Accused 2

Jiang Ning, when bored, would sometimes browse through short videos to pass the leisure time.

She had come across instances of people being scammed after offering help online before.

She just never thought that one day, such an incident would happen to her.

And to top it off, this was a task issued by the System.

The system in Jiang Ning’s mind was clearly baffled, a big question mark hovering over its head.

The System boasted the most intelligent and precise calculations, able to compute complex data in split seconds, yet it failed to understand the human heart.

The old woman clutched Jiang Ning’s arm tightly with one hand, while the other hand covered her injured forehead.

She took the opportunity to sit up from the ground and finally saw clearly whom she was trying to scam.

Jiang Ning had left home with light makeup on that day, her facial features clean and clear, dressed appropriately, her demeanor excellent—she looked distinguished at a glance!

A trace of greed flashed through the old woman’s eyes; looking at Jiang Ning was like spotting a juicy, big fish.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s firm and composed question, although she felt that the person in front of her seemed unusually calm, she didn’t take it to heart and took the chance to sit up, responding vehemently, "Of course! I clearly remember someone pushing me from behind just now, causing me to fall. There’s only us here—if not you, then who else?"

The ignored Qi Xingzhou stepped forward and spoke coldly, "We were passing by in our car when we saw you fall and came over to help."

He held up his mobile phone, gesturing, "The video recording on the phone proves we aren’t lying, and even if the police come, they won’t take your side."

The old woman had been preoccupied with sizing up Jiang Ning and hadn’t noticed there was another person next to her.

And he was a tall man with a cold demeanor!

Upon seeing Qi Xingzhou, the old woman involuntarily shrank back a little.

With his physique, a single punch from him could probably cripple her.

However, as she listened to Qi Xingzhou speaking to her dispassionately and without any intention to get physical, the guilt and panic that had just risen in the old woman instantly dissipated like smoke.

Her shrewd and greedy gaze could not help but size up Qi Xingzhou and Jiang Ning, and upon noticing that Qi Xingzhou’s attire was more low-key and luxurious, she brazenly replied, "So what if there’s a video? Who can prove that you didn’t knock me down before helping me up? I don’t care. Today, you’ll need to compensate me 20 thousand, no, 50 thousand yuan at least! Otherwise, I won’t let you go!"

[Damn it! Seeing this just makes my blood boil—where is this happening? I’ll go there right now and give this old hag a punch!]

[I’ve occasionally seen posts about scammers who accuse good Samaritans online, and now, even though it’s through a screen, I finally witnessed this kind of live scam unfold!]

[She’s laying there probably just waiting to trap someone who comes to help, then scam them, right?]

[50 thousand yuan? How dare she even ask for that much—I only earn 1,800 yuan a month slaving away! If she can scam like this successfully, I won’t wait for tomorrow, I’ll resign right away and lay down in the main road come morning!]

[Sisters, don’t worry, it won’t be successful. Jiang Jiang has been live-streaming the whole time; we can all be her alibi.]

[Lucky it’s Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou passing by, they’ve been live-streaming the whole time, and there’s even a dash cam in the car. I don’t even want to think about what would happen if it were some pedestrian or cyclist who happened to pass by and, without any video evidence or monitoring on the roadside, came forward to help, only to be bitten back by this vicious old woman—what then?]

[I’m suffocating, just thinking about it makes one feel cold and hopeless...]

[It’s too bad Qi Xingzhou held his phone at such an awkward angle, he didn’t catch the old hag’s face at all, otherwise, each of us spitting once would’ve been enough to drown her.]

The netizens were filled with righteous indignation, deeply detesting the old woman’s behavior.

Jiang Ning didn’t let the old woman off just because she was injured or because of her age; upon hearing she wanted 50 thousand yuan, Jiang Ning roughly knew the woman’s motive: "Fine, then let’s wait for the police."

"Wait? I’m not afraid!" the old woman glared.

After that, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou both refrained from speaking.

They thought the old woman might calm down and quietly wait for the arrival of the police and the ambulance.

Unexpectedly, the old woman only kept quiet for a minute or two before starting to talk again.

Her cunning and greedy eyes kept sizing up Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, and the words that came out of her mouth were uglier than the last.

Many netizens watching the live-stream felt their lungs were about to explode with anger, wishing they could climb through the screen and beat up the old woman.

Some netizens could tell at a glance that the old woman was deliberately saying these things to provoke Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.

If Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou were really provoked by the old woman’s words and couldn’t restrain themselves from touching her, according to the laws of Hua Country, no matter how polite Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou had been before, as soon as they laid a hand on her, they would be at fault.

Just as the netizens were filled with righteous indignation for Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, the sound of sirens suddenly rang in the distance. An ambulance and a police car appeared around the corner and came into view of Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.

The old woman, who had been spouting nonsense at Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou without stopping, calmed down instantly when she saw the police car and ambulance, like a chicken being choked by the neck.

Watching the police car and ambulance stop at the roadside, the old woman adjusted the expression on her face, from previously arrogant to weak and pitiful.

As the police and medical staff appeared, she immediately sought help: "Doctor, save me, please save me!"

The medical staff hurried over and checked the old woman’s body for the first time, taking out a medical kit to stop the bleeding from the ghastly wound on her forehead.

A few police officers in uniform glanced around, their gaze falling on Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, and asked softly, "Who called the police?"

"We called the police," Jiang Ning spoke up, without waiting for the officer to continue asking, she proactively recounted everything that had happened: "My friend and I were driving by here when we saw this old woman fallen by the roadside, her head bleeding, so we called an ambulance to help her. Since she was here alone, without any companions or family, we also called the police. Next, we were accused by her."

As soon as Jiang Ning finished speaking, the old woman angrily interrupted: "Who is scamming you! You hurt me and won’t admit it!"

She pointed at Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, directing the police officers standing aside: "Officers, it was them—they pushed me down on purpose just now! Not only is my head bleeding, but I also have back and leg pain, my ankle hurts so much I can’t get up! Hurry up, arrest the two of them!"
