Facing the starkly different statements of the two people, the interrogating police officer raised an eyebrow. Accustomed to all sorts of cases through years of service, his expression betrayed no surprise as he seriously regarded the calm Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, then glanced at the elderly lady who was incessantly wailing on the ground.
"I am now seriously asking you, my colleague has turned on the recording device, which will capture all our conversations as evidence for this report. If you utter a single lie, you will have to accept legal responsibility for it, so I hope you all speak the truth after careful consideration," he stated seriously.
[This police officer’s voice is kind of nice!]
[This police officer is not bad, although I haven’t seen what he looks like, but that upright posture and robust voice must mean he’s a total hunk!]
[Tell the police about the ongoing livestream!]
The livestream viewers began to get excited.
Sitting on the ground and receiving medical treatment, the elderly lady’s eyes darted around guiltily before she quickly regained her composure and shouted, "How could I, an old woman, possibly lie! It was you who pushed me! Why don’t you believe me!"
After speaking, she vented her anger on the doctors and nurses attending to her, "Ouch! Be gentle! Why are you so rough? Are you trying to kill me, an old woman?"
The nurse pursed her lips and said nothing, while the doctor who had briefly examined her hands and feet spoke up, "The wound on her forehead is quite severe and can only be controlled by stopping the bleeding temporarily; she’ll need stitches at the hospital. Her left ankle is bruised and swollen, and an extensive examination at the hospital is necessary to determine the exact condition."
Hearing this, the elderly lady didn’t wait for the police to speak and immediately responded, "I’m not going! Unless they pay, I won’t go to the hospital! They shouldn’t think about leaving either; I’d rather die right here!"
Her demeanor was self-righteous and arrogant throughout.
The viewers in the livestream were impressed with the elderly lady’s shamelessness:
[If I hadn’t known the truth of the matter, I might have really been fooled by her defiant appearance!]
[...Who wouldn’t be.]
Not only the viewers but also Jiang Ning was astounded by the elderly lady’s unflinching audacity.
"Fine, how much were you trying to swindle from me just now, fifty thousand? I’ll give it to you."
Saying so, she actually took out a stack of crisp, new banknotes from her bag.
Her decisive action stunned everyone present, as well as the livestream viewers.
The elderly lady’s eyes widened, even forgetting the pain from her forehead wound.
She lifted her head and, seeing the thick wad of cash in Jiang Ning’s hand, she eagerly reached out to take it.
The police officer, noticing something off from their expressions, raised his hand to intervene, "Hold on, let’s wait until we’ve investigated the matter fully before settling privately."
At that moment, the elderly lady was only fixated on the fifty thousand yuan, hardly listening to the police.
And to her, stopping her from getting rich was no different from killing her parents.
Even the police couldn’t block her path to fortune!
The elderly lady, who had just been howling about her severe injuries and inability to stand, suddenly sprang up from the ground, blocked the police officer’s hand with brute force, and grabbed all the banknotes from Jiang Ning, for the first time revealing a smile to Jiang Ning, filled with triumph:
"Wouldn’t it have been better if you did this earlier!"
She clutched the substantial amount of money in her hands, inwardly calling Jiang Ning a fool.
The sudden windfall almost made the elderly lady forget her physical pain; she waved away the doctors, nurses, and police, saying, "Our matter is settled now, no need for you here; you all can leave. I’ll head to the hospital myself later!"
As if she didn’t know how expensive it is to call an ambulance these days, she was not about to play the sucker!
[LOL, the doctor and nurse were just helping her, even stopping the bleeding from her forehead wound, and she didn’t even say thanks?]
[Is she even human? After living so many years, she’s practically lost all morals and principles.]
[It’s not that she lost her principles and shame when she got old; she never had them. Bad people don’t turn bad when they get old; it’s just that bad people grow old.]
[I have an idea, give her some rat poison to eat, if she eats it and dies, then she’s definitely just a rat.]
[If she doesn’t die, then she’s a demon in the shape of a rat.]
[That’s a good idea!]
Not only the viewers of the livestream, but even the police and the medical staff couldn’t help but feel frustrated upon hearing the elderly lady’s words.
Others might burn bridges after crossing them, she hadn’t even crossed and was already tearing it down.
"Since you don’t need the police anymore, then I’ll ask the officers here to help resolve the situation I’m facing," Jiang Ning’s voice arose.
