Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 547 Gold Digging
"I also have friends at the funeral home. When the time comes, a slip of the hand, and her urn gets smashed. It's just an accident," Lin Wan'er said, taking out her phone. "Let's pick a good day with a southeast wind, so we don't even have to collect the ashes."
Huai Yi's expression changed. He sighed inwardly, "Deep Red is awesome!"
He was also present yesterday when Jiang Cheng unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse at Xue Jinhua. "Does Deep Red have a special course on how to curse people?" Huai Yi wondered secretly, "Why do these two sound exactly the same?"
"Could it be that Deep Red and the Night Watchmen are engaged in a cyber war, using keyboards to greet each other's family members?"
"What is this? A struggle for the initiative in morale?"
Before Huai Yi could figure it out, Jiang Cheng and the others opened the door and left. A few seconds later, Fatty came back and stood at the door, saying, "Hey, they want you to come along!"
"Bring everything you need."
"Okay, okay." Huai Yi immediately packed his things, stuffing his computer, projector, hard drive, and everything else into his backpack, worried about holding back the Deep Red trio.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to lock the door.
Downstairs was his old black Mercedes Jeep, and he took the initiative to be the driver.
Fatty didn't say a word, smartly opened the passenger door, sat down, and left the back seat for Doctor and Boss Lin.
Following the navigation, Jiang Cheng and his group quickly arrived near the studio.
"I don't see Xue Jinhua's car," Jiang Cheng frowned. "Where did they go?"
Xue Jinhua was very particular about appearances. If she had arrived, you could see her convoy from a long distance. Pi Ruan learned many of his bad habits from her.
"She said she had already arrived when she called me," Lin Wan'er said, looking at her phone. A strange expression flashed across her face.
As the vehicle turned towards Lin Wan'er's exclusive parking space, someone suddenly darted out from behind a black sedan, heading straight for the car.
At the critical moment, Huai Yi slammed on the brakes, stopping two meters away from the old woman.
Unexpectedly, the old woman, with nimble steps, spun around and lay down in front of the car, dropping her shopping basket on the ground, scattering radishes and cabbages everywhere.
"Ouch!" An old woman wearing a headscarf lay on the ground, groaning in pain. "It hurts so much! This unconscionable person almost killed my old bones!"
"What the heck!" Huai Yi was anxious. "I didn't even touch her!"
"This is a scam, right!" Fatty's eyes widened. It was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He had only seen it on TV before, and now he was seeing it live.
The old woman's wails quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers, but upon seeing that it was the old woman, many people showed angry expressions.
This wasn't the first time. The old woman was a public nuisance in the neighborhood, and she didn't usually target just any car, only luxury cars.
Because of her skillful acting, her success rate was quite high.
The old woman wailed even louder, her small eyes hidden under her arms darting around.
Sitting in the car, Jiang Cheng immediately realized that this was a trap set by Xue Jinhua, and that the scamming old woman was arranged by her.
It was likely that everything that was happening here was being secretly filmed by Xue Jinhua's people.
Preparing to use this as leverage to coerce them into not interfering with Pi Ruan's affairs.
"Don't move," Jiang Cheng said, opening the car door and stepping out.
Seeing someone get out of the car, the old woman's expression became even more pained, and she moved her body towards the wheels from time to time, making the scene look more realistic.
Jiang Cheng jogged over and knelt down beside the old woman with concern. "How are you? Are you alright?"
"Oh dear, you murderers, you didn't slow down on the curve, did you want to kill this poor old woman? I can't feel my left leg, it must be broken..." The old woman was acting dramatically, cursing with a victim's face.
"I said, you're so old, can you have some shame? How many people have you scammed? As a human being, I advise you to be kind!" An old man passing by couldn't bear it any longer and pointed at the old woman with his cane.
"Mind your own business, you old bastard, be careful you get hit by a car tomorrow, and your damn little bastard gets run over too!" Upon hearing this, the old woman lifted half her body and cursed at the old man who was taking his grandson out.
"You..." The old man was trembling with anger.
Although the old woman was lying on the ground, she was full of energy. She cursed away three or four people who criticized her, and after seeing that no one in the crowd dared to say anything, she lay back in front of the car wheels with a domineering look.
Jiang Cheng stopped a female student who had been scolded into tears and smiled at the old woman on the ground. "It's cold on the ground, let's talk standing up."
The old woman's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice and sneered, "Young man, I see that you are also a reasonable person. How about this, you give me 20,000 yuan, and I'll get up and leave, and I won't make things difficult for you."
"Otherwise, I'll just stay here with you today. I'm a vulnerable group, and it's no use calling the police. My health isn't good, and the police won't dare to do anything to me."
"If anything really happens to me, you'll all be responsible!"
"Don't give it to her, don't encourage these bad habits!" The female student who had been scolded into tears was furious, recording a video with her phone while crying.
"You little slut, look at the way you dress, no man wants you, right? Just thinking about seducing someone, rotten to the core, any man who finds you will dump you after playing with you enough!" The old woman looked at the people around her jumping with anger, yet helpless, and the satisfaction in her heart was fully reflected on her face.
"Okay," Jiang Cheng nodded helplessly, with a look of "I really can't do anything with you" on his face. "But I don't have any cash on me right now, why don't you come with me to get it? My home is nearby."
"Hey, you know the rules." The old woman stood up limping and walked towards the car door. Before getting into the car, she put on a triumphant look and waved to the angry onlookers, saying arrogantly, "You guys can keep scolding, I'm going to get the money, a bunch of losers, you deserve to be poor!"
After getting into the car, the old woman touched here and looked there. After seeing the hairpin on Lin Wan'er's head, her eyes lit up, thinking that these people were richer than she thought. The other party agreed to 20,000 yuan so readily, she must have asked for too little.
"You dare to ask for 20,000 yuan just like that, you're really something," Fatty said, staring at the old woman through the rearview mirror.
The old woman's eyes darted around. "What 20,000 yuan? You hit me, you wouldn't want to use 20,000 yuan to get rid of me, would you? I want 50,000!"
"If you don't give me 50,000, this isn't over!"
