Zhang Tianxing walked over and saw that the old man was lying on the ground, screaming in agony.
However, the three-wheeled vehicle was still a meter away from his Tiger Head Ben. How could this happen? It seemed he had encountered a con artist.
"My leg is broken, I can't take it anymore, I'm dying. You don't have to think about running away. Your license plate is too easy to remember, five eights. Oh, someone's going to die, the Benz hit someone!"
Hearing the old man's screams, Gao Tianming broke out in a cold sweat, utterly distraught. He had never encountered anything like this before. He stammered to Zhang Tianxing,
"Tianxing, I didn't hit him at all. He fell down on his own. Why is this happening?"
Zhang Tianxing forced a bitter smile. It seemed he was really unlucky this time, falling victim to a scam by a dishonorable old man.
Zhang Tianxing squatted down in front of the old man and examined him carefully.
He was extremely thin, dark and gaunt. He had a towel wrapped around his head, and he was clutching his legs, screaming non-stop.
"Sir, this isn't right. This three-wheeled vehicle is a meter away from the Tiger Head Ben. How could it have hit you?" Zhang Tianxing said, annoyed.
Damn it, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, the old man not only didn't get up, but he screamed even louder.
"Young man, go call your parents. You're in big trouble. Do you have a driver's license? You've injured me like this. We're not done. Oh, it hurts so much, my leg is broken! You're fully responsible!"
The old man began his performance. It was a shame his acting wasn't showcased on an international stage.
The taxi driver looked ahead and understood the situation. Needless to say, this Benz had been targeted.
It was just bad luck that he had rear-ended this Tiger Head Ben.
The driver wanted to slap himself. Why was he driving so fast?
He was originally just an onlooker, but now he had become involved.
Damn it, he rear-ended it. He couldn't afford to compensate for this Tiger Head Ben. He thought how unlucky he was.
Zhang Tianxing took a deep breath, "Sir, get up and talk. I'll give you a hundred yuan, and this matter will be settled." Zhang Tianxing wanted to use force against this kind of old man, but then he thought that he could beat eighty of these old men with one punch.
Forget it, it's better to use money as the first resort.
Hearing a hundred yuan, the old man thought he was being treated like a beggar and completely ignored Zhang Tianxing, instead screaming even louder.
"Nowadays, young people drive Benz cars and hit people. The world is changing, and people's hearts are not what they used to be. He hit me, injured me like this, and he just wants to bribe me with a hundred yuan. Does he realize his mistake?" the old man continued to play the victim.
Hearing the old man's screams, more and more people gathered, pointing and whispering at Zhang Tianxing and his companions.
"Exactly, driving a Benz makes you think you're great, but you have to take responsibility when you hit someone."
"That's right. It's obvious he hit him. If he hadn't, why would the elderly gentleman be lying on the ground? It's so cold on the ground right now, who would lie on the ground for no reason."
"Exactly. Young man, you look like a good person, why are you doing such a terrible thing."
"Whoever is responsible should be responsible. The elderly gentleman is of advanced age, why would he extort you? If it's really necessary, call your parents."
Gao Tianming said softly to Zhang Tianxing, "Tianxing, why don't you have my dad come over to handle this?"
Zhang Tianxing shook his head, "Xiao Ming, if you go back, do you want to have fried bamboo shoots with pork, or do you want to have a mixed male and female doubles match? Leave this to me."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's playful words, Gao Tianming felt a warmth spread through his heart. A true friend, he hadn't misjudged you.
Gao Tianming stepped forward and helped the old man, "Sir, how are you? How do you feel?"
"Young man, I'm dying. You guys should prepare to pay compensation. I have a ninety-year-old mother to take care of and a one-year-old grandson who needs milk. What do you expect me to do? You hitting me is unforgivable. I'm telling you the truth, you've brought great misfortune upon yourselves by hitting me." The old man gasped for breath on the ground.
Someone nearby said, "You've injured the old man badly. How about this, give us a hundred thousand, and we'll let you go. Otherwise, you're not leaving."
"That's right. Otherwise, leave the car, and you can go."
"Exactly. You hit someone, you need to give an explanation. And the taxi behind also has to pay."
The taxi driver's face fell as he watched the scene unfold. He felt wronged. Why was he involved in this old man's affair? This had nothing to do with him.
His front bumper had fallen off, and he didn't dare to look at the damage to the Tiger Head Ben.
That car was too expensive. He was afraid that just one look would make him faint. The repair costs for this Tiger Head Ben were probably an astronomical figure.
Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Zhang Tianxing chuckled.
Gao Tianming was furious. How could this person not speak the truth at all and just make things up?
"Our car was still a meter and a half away from the three-wheeled vehicle. We couldn't have hit him."
Gao Tianming was extremely frustrated. He clearly hadn't hit him, yet they insisted he had. He had never suffered such humiliation.
"Oh, look, the young man is getting agitated. You say you didn't hit him, but you did? Maybe your braking scared the old gentleman. You tell us, it's either hitting him or scaring him. Either way, your responsibility is unavoidable. Choose one."
Wen Qing and Zhu Dachang looked extremely embarrassed seeing this scene. What kind of people were these?
You reason with them, and they give you their own logic.
You present evidence, and they give you conjecture. In any case, the Benz was at fault, and the old man on the ground was the victim.
Gao Tianming was on the verge of tears. At this point, he finally understood that talking about the law with these people was more difficult than climbing to heaven.
"Oh, hurry up and tell us what to do. My old bones have been broken for so long, do you have the heart to leave me lying on the ground? If this matter isn't resolved, you're not leaving." the old man grumbled impatiently.
"This matter, less than one hundred thousand, no discussion. And your license plate is so good, are you drunk driving? If you're drunk driving, that's a criminal offense."
Hearing the implied threats in the old man's words, Gao Tianming, Wen Qing, and Zhu Dachang were almost bursting with anger. They had never imagined they would encounter such a situation.
Were bad people getting old, or did people turn bad when they got old?
The old man's outrageous behavior had completely broadened their horizons. They had never imagined people would resort to such shameless tactics.
"Old man, one hundred yuan is not a small amount. Think carefully." Zhang Tianxing suppressed his urge to explode.
The old man shook his head, "Young man, I already said, less than one hundred thousand, no discussion. That other young man was driving just now. Your license plate is so remarkable, you must not be an ordinary person, right? If you don't pay, I'll ruin your reputation!"
Zhang Tianxing smiled and said softly to Gao Tianming and the other two, "You guys get in the car first. Leave this to me."
Gao Tianming and the others looked at Zhang Tianxing with concern. They had come out together and couldn't let Zhang Tianxing face these scumbags alone.
Zhang Tianxing smiled, "You guys get in, trust me to handle this. I'm best at dealing with this kind of situation!"
