Ren Han ultimately decided to ask Jiang Nian'an and the other two first.
He still had some impression of the slightly chubby young man, Liu Dabao.
He is a strength enhancement type, with about twenty people under his command. He seems very strong, but in reality, he is the only superhuman in his team.
To save on rent, everyone squeezed into one house.
The women and children in the team also occasionally take on small infrastructure projects.
They could do jobs like moving bricks or carrying supplies to earn some food and water.
In contrast, the men in the group spent their days idly, loafing around and fooling around, which led to complaints from many survivors.
Therefore, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Dabao or the other men in his team.
They didn't believe what they said either.
"Excuse me," Ren Han looked at Jiang Nian'an, who seemed the most approachable, "what exactly happened here?"
"It all started because of these two bags of rice."
Jiang Nian'an pointed to the rice still piled up by the door.
"They want to know why you not only refunded the money but also apologized to us, so they can try to extort money from you."
We didn't say anything, so~
Jiang Nian'an shrugged. "They started trying to extort money from us. One of them lay on the ground crying and wailing that we hit him, while the other brandished a knife and hurt himself, saying that we injured him."
"You're talking nonsense! He's the one who hurt me!"
Upon hearing Jiang Nian'an's distorted words, Liu Dabao felt even more pain and anger, and his trembling became even more violent.
"Hey, Deputy Captain Ren, you can't listen to her nonsense!"
The old man started crying and shouting again, "There are so many people here who can testify for us that they are the ones who hurt my grandson!"
Not just my grandson, but also these three—”
The old man then pointed to the three burly men who were still lying on the ground convulsing.
"One of the three who attacked us could generate electricity. With a snap, he knocked all three of them down!"
Ren Han looked at the three convulsing figures and his lips twitched. They were clearly struck by lightning.
He was almost certain that what Liu Dabao and the others said was true; he was just waiting—
At this moment, the person who was following Ren Han squeezed in from the back of the crowd and winked at Ren Han.
Ren Han saw his subtle movements and knew that this time, Liu Dabao and his grandson were not lying.
He scratched his head repeatedly, looking at Jiang Nian'an and the other two with some difficulty.
If it were just Liu Dabao and his grandson, along with the three of them, there would be no problem.
At worst, the base can step in and compensate with some supplies, and that will be the end of it.
But now there are so many survivors watching nearby...
If he favors the three of them, the base's rules will become meaningless, and their base team's prestige will plummet.
But if he really followed the base's rules, he'd probably get beaten to death by the captain.
His team leader was really keen to bring the four of them into their second team.
Jiang Nian'an smiled slightly, not wanting to make things difficult for Ren Han.
She looked around at the people, "They say you can testify for them that we hurt them."
Excuse me, everyone, did we... injure them?
With a flick of his finger, Shen Nanxing created a beautiful silver butterfly that gently landed on Jiang Nian'an's hair.
As the wings flapped, a crackling sound of electricity filled the air.
Yunfan casually played with the ice blade in his hand, seemingly talking to himself.
"Sigh, this base is safe, but a person can't stay holed up in the base forever."
Once you leave the base, there are many unexpected situations that could arise.
Yunfan tossed the ice blade into the air and squinted at the people around him.
This blatant threat caused the surrounding survivors to instinctively shake their heads.
"Deputy Captain Ren, they... they're making a blatant threat..."
Old Liu, trembling, grabbed Ren Han's arm and said, "They're forcing everyone to give false testimony!"
"We don't have any!"
A ten-person team directly refuted Old Man Liu's words and quickly returned to their room.
This is too much excitement; it's better to skip it.
Seeing this, the others also turned and left.
Several survivors who had been tricked by Liu Dabao and his gang in the same way even spoke up for Jiang Nian'an and the others.
“Deputy Captain Ren, the truth is just as these three said!”
If these three can really make Liu Dabao and his group suffer a loss, it will be considered revenge for those who were bullied by Liu Dabao.
Seeing that the situation was turning against them, Liu Dabao struggled to get up.
He looked at Jiang Nian'an and said through gritted teeth, "You say I harmed myself to extort money from you? Then tell me, where did my self-harm weapon go?"
"Here."
Shen Nanxing pulled out a dagger from his waist, which was used to dissect crystal cores, and threw it in front of Liu Dabao.
Liu Dabao: "..."
Damn, this guy is a pro at faking accidents!
Liu Dabao suppressed his anger and pointed at the three people who had been electrocuted by Shen Nanxing.
"Then how do you explain the three of them?"
Jiang Nian'an glanced at the three of them and said calmly, "She's having an epileptic seizure."
Liu Dabao: "..."
With that smoking hair and charred face, it doesn't look like an epileptic seizure at all.
This is blatant lying!
"Whoever makes the claim must provide evidence. If you insist that they didn't have epilepsy and were electrocuted by us, please provide evidence."
Jiang Nian'an looked at Liu Dabao, who seemed unconvinced and wanted to say something more, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Liu Dabao was stunned again.
That sounds very familiar.
He seemed to say the same thing every time he tried to scam those survivors who had just arrived and were not staying long.
Then, since the other party couldn't produce any evidence, they could only swallow their anger and let them steal their supplies.
And since they didn't leave the base, they weren't afraid of the survivors retaliating against them outside the base.
Unexpectedly, the ones who usually cheat others have become the ones being cheated today.
Ren Han was already numb.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have liked to applaud Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing.
Jiang Nian'an looked at Liu Dabao, a cold glint in her eyes, "It seems you have no evidence, then—"
Her gaze swept over the three people on the ground, Liu Dabao, and Old Man Liu in turn.
“Deputy Captain Ren, their actions have caused us psychological trauma, therefore I demand compensation from them.”
I believe the Ning City base will handle this fairly and make each of them compensate us with 50 crystal cores.
As soon as Jiang Nian'an finished speaking, the three people convulsing on the ground straightened up.
Liu Dabao and Old Man Liu: !!
"I want to see those 250 crystal cores before 6 a.m. tomorrow."
Shen Nanxing coldly observed Liu Dabao and Old Man Liu, "If you can't deliver it and anger my An'an, then..."
He snorted coldly, and electric snakes crackled beneath Liu Dabao and Old Man Liu's feet, carrying an aura of death.
Startled, the two quickly lunged at the wall to the side, forced to become geckos for a moment.
"Even in this base, I will take your lives!"
