Chapter 8: Stir-fried Pork with Chili Peppers

It was obvious that the police were called by the child's grandmother, but they turned around and said that the police were in cahoots with Shao Yuan and others.

Not to mention that I, Shao Yuan, was speechless, many of the onlookers were speechless as well.

But they still held up their phones to take pictures.

I didn’t expect that Shifang’s figurine was actually real.

The price is real too.

This is simply an exciting short video topic.

So, a bunch of people took out their phones and took all kinds of photos.

The child's grandmother thought that what she had just said had worked.

He was glancing smugly at the two policemen.

The two policemen frowned.

"Ma'am, please be cautious. We are performing official duties. Your actions constitute obstruction of public service. Furthermore, you have slandered and defamed us in public. We have the right to initiate an investigation."

In the Han Dynasty, defamation in public, slander and libel, and obstruction of public service by the police.

There will be suspicion of treason.

The Han Dynasty has always been severe in its punishment for this.

Once either party applies to initiate an investigation, the situation becomes serious.

If the investigation finds the police not guilty and the child's grandmother has not colluded with the enemy, she will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and not more than ten years.

Conversely, if two police officers are found to have problems under investigation, the penalty will be doubled.

This kind of thing has happened many times before.

So this is something that the entire Han Dynasty knows.

Therefore, as long as the police say they want to open a case for investigation, it basically means that they have no problems.

After all, this is not something to be joked about.

When the child’s grandmother heard that a case was going to be filed for investigation, she immediately became timid.

"I, I was just talking. If it's not true, then it's not true. There's no need to open a case and investigate it."

When the people around her saw her guilty look, they immediately realized that what she had just said must have been a lie and slander.

"Ma'am, you are an adult, please be careful with your words."

The two policemen no longer had a good impression of her. After all, it was she who called the police, but they turned around and slandered them for being in collusion between officials and gangsters.

Even if you know that the charge will not be established in the end, applying for an investigation will not be a glorious thing.

This is simply an unexpected disaster.

"Since the conspiracy between officials and bandits has been proven wrong, let's talk about compensation."

The young man in black still had a faint polite smile on his face.

However, this time the smile did not have a trace of warmth, but rather seemed a little cold.

"Five hundred thousand, not a cent less."

"Five hundred thousand? How can an old woman like me afford five hundred thousand? Isn't this going to cost my whole life?"

The child's grandmother actually sat down on the ground and started yelling and acting pitiful.

"I'm an old woman with no pity. I have to take care of my child alone. I don't have a job and no pension. I just make a living by picking up bottles. Five hundred thousand is better than taking our lives."

The sight of her slapping her thigh and crying miserably made some of the onlookers unable to bear it.

A middle-aged woman couldn't stand it anymore and stood up. She said to Shao Yuan, "Hey young man, it's just a toy. You're so rich, why bother with it?"

"Being petty?" I, Shao Yuan, was really furious.

He is clearly the victim, but now you are accusing him of being petty?

However, before Shao Yuan could reach him, the young man in black standing in front of him frowned and looked at the middle-aged woman coldly.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, our young master is indeed a bit too picky. Since you are so generous, it seems you are willing to compensate our young master with 500,000 yuan on their behalf."

When I, Shao Yuan, heard the first half of his words, I was a little angry. After all, this guy actually said that he was petty.

But after hearing the second half of his sentence, the corners of Shao Yuan's mouth immediately rose.

He agreed, "Yes, it seems this auntie is a generous person. It's only 500,000. I believe the auntie is very willing to give it, right?"

The aunt's face suddenly changed. "It's not me who broke your things, why do you want me to compensate you?"

I, Shao Yuan, pressed my lips into a line. "Since you can't be so generous, what qualifications do you have to ask me to be generous?"

The aunt opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, she could only turn around and leave in shame.

"Hey, don't go."

When the child's grandmother saw the man leave, she quickly looked at the people around.

However, the onlookers all took two steps back at the same time.

Then he turned his face away, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to her at all.

Are you kidding? That's half a million.

Many of those present were young people, and they probably had less than 50,000 yuan left on their bodies.

What’s more, it’s five hundred thousand.

Besides, even if you really have 500,000, wouldn’t it be better to spend it yourself?

Why give it to this unrelated person?

Seeing that no one was willing to help her, the child's grandmother simply started to give up.

He actually fell directly to the ground.

"If you don't have money, then take my life."

In her opinion, as long as she insisted that she had no money, the other party would have no way to do anything to her.

This cheating look makes me, Shao Yuan, so angry that my teeth itch.

Seeing that Zhen Shao Yuan was angry, the young man in black glanced coldly at the person on the ground and said to the two policemen, "Officers, since this lady is unwilling to resolve the matter through negotiation, let's handle it in a fair and impartial manner."

"According to Article 275 of the Criminal Code of the Han Kingdom, intentional destruction of public or private property, where the amount exceeds 5,000, is punishable by a prison sentence of not less than three years and not more than seven years."

“Although it was done by a child, the child is under the age of fourteen and the child’s guardian needs to be held responsible.

"If the child still has parents, then the parents are the primary guardians. If not, then I can only say sorry to this lady."

The young man in black has been polite and courteous since he appeared, and he speaks very politely.

What's more, he always calls me "young master".

I, Shao Yuan, feel that the young man in front of me looks very much like the old housekeepers of wealthy families in ancient times.

Although he is not old, he is still very young.

"Going to jail?"

The child's grandmother stopped howling and immediately got up from the ground.

Of course she also has a son and daughter-in-law.

Her son cannot go to jail. Once her son goes to jail, this family will be finished.

"Privately, officers, let's settle this privately."

Seeing that he and his son were going to jail, he had no time to throw a tantrum.

He quickly called his son and daughter-in-law.

I, Shao Yuan, the young man in black, dealt with the child's grandmother so quickly that I couldn't help but look at him.

The young man in black seemed to feel my gaze, turned his head and smiled back at me.

Polite, but with a hint of distance.

Soon, the child's parents rushed over.

When they learned that the child had broken someone's 500,000 yuan figurine, they immediately started to work on the child, who usually wouldn't touch a hair, and cooked a meal of stir-fried pork and green peppers.

The child was beaten loudly by the mixed attack of boys and girls.

Then he started hiding behind his grandmother.

Her grandmother was so distressed and anxious that she reached out to stop her son and daughter-in-law.

"Well, it's only 500,000 yuan. It's not like our family can't afford it."

"Only five hundred thousand?" the child's mother said angrily, "Mom, you don't really think our family owns a bank, do you? That's five hundred thousand, not fifty yuan."

The child's grandmother disagreed, "My son earns a million a year, so 500,000 is nothing."

However, the child's father couldn't help but get angry.

"With a million-dollar annual salary, don't you have to spend money on daily expenses? There's a house and a car to pay for. There's also the children's tuition and tutoring fees. Everything costs money. How can I come up with half a million?"

The child's grandmother grabbed the father's arm and said, "What can we do? That man said that if you don't pay, he will put you in jail. Son, what will I do if you go to jail?"

The child's father gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? We have to sell the car. Adding all the savings at home, it's barely enough."

"What? Selling a car?"

And then add all the savings we have at home?

The child's grandmother widened her eyes.

In her opinion, her son's annual salary was one million, and a mere 500,000 was only half a year's salary.

But I never thought about how much the family expenses were.

The child's father said exhaustedly, "Mom, you can't indulge your child anymore. If you continue like this, we'll have to sell the house next time."

The words "selling the house" touched the bottom line of the child's grandmother's heart.

She thought about having to empty her savings and sell her house for the sake of her grandson, and then end up living on the streets.

Suddenly the volcano erupted.

He simply pulled out his most beloved grandson who was hiding behind his mother and gave him a meal of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

He beat the child even more harshly than his parents.

Finally, the two parties signed a compensation agreement, and the 500,000 yuan compensation must be paid within two days.

Otherwise, you will just be waiting to eat free food from the government.

The news spread quickly.

After all, there were so many people present at the time.

I also took a short video.

Originally, I, Shao Yuan, was planning to go to the comic exhibition.

But after what happened, he lost interest.

So, when it's over, just leave.

Before leaving, Shao Yuan couldn't help but ask the young man in black, "What's your name?"

The young man in black said, "Si Yi, the Si of unbridled, Yi of Yiren."

"Si Yi?"

I, Shao Yuan, murmured, this name is so special.

"Then this figurine is missing one, how are you going to deliver it?"

Although this figurine matter has nothing to do with him anymore.

But at least this Si Yi has helped me, so it is only right for me, Shao Yuan, to show some concern for him.

However, Si Yi just smiled and did not answer.

The next second, I, Shao Yuan, heard the voice of the system.

"Ding, purchasing task released. Host, please purchase a collector's edition third-party figurine."

"The time is three days."

"Purchase successful, reward: a random Black Dragon suitcase."

"The purchase failed, and the host's deposit of 500,000 will be deducted as punishment."

"Until the entire set of Ten Directions figurines is collected, the host must keep all remaining figurines. Until the mission is completed."

"Please note that this mission does not provide any channels for purchasing figures. The host needs to arrange the purchase on his own."

What?

No purchasing leads?

Then where does he buy it?

Suddenly, I, Shao Yuan, thought of the money issue again.

Immediately ask the system in your mind.

"Since you don't provide a purchasing channel, you should at least provide money, right?"

I, Shao Yuan, said that I don’t have that much money to buy action figures.

System: "The host's black card has been injected with sufficient funds for purchasing. The upper limit for this mission is 1 million. Please use it with caution."

I, Shao Yuan, breathed a sigh of relief. It’s good to have money.

When he came back to his senses, Si Yi said, "Master, we will take our leave first."

After saying that, he retreated with a group of people, not giving Shao Yuan any time to react.

I, Shao Yuan, was left alone, holding the box containing the figurine.

Originally, I, Shao Yuan, planned to go to the comic exhibition after completing the task.

Now that he has this action figure worth millions, how could he dare to stay here?

He quickly hugged the figurine in the box and left in a hurry.

When I went back to school, I didn’t dare take the subway anymore.

I made up my mind and took a taxi.

After all, I just received 50,000 yuan in purchasing fees.

He was willing to spend a few dozen dollars on a taxi.

After all, if one of these figures breaks, he won’t be able to afford the compensation even if he sells himself.

Of course, I, Shao Yuan, was also complaining in my heart that the system was somewhat immoral.

Even though this person has been called here, why doesn’t he take the figurine away?

You have to collect a complete set before you can take it away.

And he has to keep it.

Isn't this just a trap for him?

If you're going to keep it, there should be some storage fee or something, right?

After all, there is no free lunch or free work in this world.

As I, Shao Yuan, had just come up with this idea, the voice of the system came to my mind again.

"Ding, considering the host's request is reasonable. If the host keeps the figurine until the mission is completed, he will be rewarded with a storage fee of 10,000 yuan."

Ten thousand yuan?

My eyes, Shao Yuan, suddenly lit up.

Wow, it turns out this is how it can be done?

With the deposit, he felt more at ease.

Ten thousand yuan, and he will take good care of this figure.

As for the subsequent debt collection issue, it has nothing to do with me, Shao Yuan.

The fact that the naughty kid pushed him and snatched his figurine and broke it was enough to make me, Shao Yuan, angry.

However, seeing that naughty kid being cooked with stir-fried pork and chili peppers by his grandmother and parents at the same time.

I, Shao Yuan, feel relieved.

Five hundred thousand, and the child’s father had to sell his car and empty the family savings.

The parents of that naughty child will never let him off easily in the future.

The most hurtful thing was that after the young man in black made the other person sign the compensation contract, he smiled and waved his hand generously.

Give the broken-arm figurine to the naughty kid.

Even though the kid's butt was beaten to pieces, he still held on to the figurine and refused to let go.

The father of the naughty kid originally wanted to throw away the figurine.

But think about it, I spent 500,000 to "buy" it.

But I can't bear to leave.

I believe that as long as the figurine is there, the child’s father will probably remember its value.

That naughty kid will have no good days in the future.

The whole thing seemed to be caused by the naughty kid alone.

In fact, the child’s grandmother and parents are the culprits.

Without their indulgence and pampering, it would be impossible to raise such a naughty child.

Naturally, what happened today would not have happened.

Just like what the child’s father said, if he is not disciplined.

In the future it won’t just be selling cars, maybe it will be selling houses too.

Even selling the house is not enough.

It may seem like they lost 500,000 yuan in this matter, but I, Shao Yuan, feel that in essence, they made a profit.
