"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, Ah Long's face flushed with anger.
"Someone in his family died, what does that have to do with us? We weren't even here when they died!"
"What's this!"
The driver shook his head, his face full of indignation.
"Don't even mention how angry you would be if you heard this; I would be angry even if I saw it."
"You probably don't know this, but a coffin can be kept for months, and money can be collected for months. If there were people inside, they would have stank long ago!"
"This is essentially a disguised highway tollbooth..."
As soon as the convoy stopped, a group of people immediately surrounded it.
Those who gathered around were not the elderly, weak, women, or children; they were all men, and they all looked young and strong.
There were more than a dozen of them.
Just as the burly man at the head was about to speak, nearly thirty people jumped out of the car, more than their own.
Seeing this, he felt no fear, but rather a surge of excitement.
With thirty people hauling the goods, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that there must be some good stuff hidden on the truck.
This is a windfall!
But if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way!
The leader shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Fellow villagers, this is the car that killed my second uncle. Luckily, God had mercy and I caught him..."
"A life for a life, a debt for a debt. This matter cannot be left like this. What do you suggest we do?"
"Pay up!"
"Pay up!"
"Pay up!"
A dozen or so people shouting at the top of their lungs, coupled with their bloodshot eyes, would really intimidate most people.
The twenty-odd people behind Ah Long were all veterans, so why would they care about this little scene?
Seeing that Ah Long and the others had no expression, the leader snorted coldly.
"You heard it too, if you don't pay up, you're not leaving. No one can change your mind!"
How much compensation do you want from me?
"One hundred thousand yuan!"
Ah Long asked with a forced laugh, his anger turning into a rage.
"We both know exactly what happened. It's broad daylight, and you dare to rob people so brazenly. Is there no law anymore?"
"The law? Bah!"
The leader spat a mouthful of phlegm at Ah Long's feet and said arrogantly.
"What kind of bullshit law is this? All I know is that the dead should be respected. You killed someone, and no matter what, I'm in the right."
"Either pay up, or leave the goods behind. That's my rule!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the road bullies started clamoring again, with endless demands for compensation.
Not only that!
The women who were crying their eyes out also gathered around.
The two sides are locked in a standoff; a single glance or a single word could ignite a battle!
Just then, Ah Long spoke, his tone cold and sharp.
What if I don't agree?
