C218 – Punish Evil!
“My car is valued at 14.32 million—here’s the invoice to prove it!”
Jiang Hao brandished one of the invoices, showing it to the gathered crowd.
As each person inspected it, they involuntarily gasped in astonishment.
“Hiss—”
“Over 14 million!”
“The Liu family spent less than 200,000 yuan on their entire courtyard, and that’s not even close to a fraction of this car’s cost!”
The group was floored by the astronomical sum!
The heavily made-up woman’s face underwent a dramatic change.
Still, she attempted to maintain her composure, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
“This piece of junk is worth over 14 million? You’ve got to be out of your mind!”
“Your family can afford a car like this?
Don’t tell me you’ve resorted to thievery, stealing someone else’s car?”
Her words were merciless, twisting the truth until it was unrecognizable.
Jiang Hao, swallowing his rage, responded.
“There’s no need to discuss this with me. If you have any doubts, feel free to call the police for an investigation.”
The idea of involving the police was something the woman wouldn’t dare consider.
After all, her husband’s shady dealings would be the first to come under scrutiny if the authorities were alerted—Jiang Daloong had the most to lose.
“Perhaps I should call the police to sort this out?”
Hearing that Jiang Hao might involve the police, Jiang Daloong’s wife became visibly distressed.
“Jiang Hao, don’t be unreasonable!” she exclaimed.
“I’ve already compensated you for the paint job. What more do you want?”
Jiang Hao couldn’t help but laugh at her brazenness.
“Don’t play the victim here, as if I’m the one mistreating you.”
With a cold rebuke, he regarded her with contempt.
Then, he produced another document and announced,
“Just a few days ago, someone tried to scam me by damaging my car, leaving a small dent. She ended up compensating me with one million yuan for repairs!”
He brandished the IOU for all to see. “It’s all here in black and white.”
The crowd, seeing the clear evidence on the IOU, was mostly convinced.
A hush fell over them as they processed the situation.
A mere dent had warranted a million yuan in compensation!
How much is Jiang Xiaolong’s scratch going to cost us?
In that instant, Jiang Daloong’s wife went deathly pale.
A million! She had never seen such an amount in her entire life, let alone had to pay it!
If Jiang Hao demanded a million, even selling off her entire family’s assets wouldn’t cover it!
Jiang Hao spoke up, his voice utterly emotionless.
“Normally, for a scratch this long, a million wouldn’t be unreasonable. But I know you can’t afford that. Unlike you, I have some compassion.”
“Let’s do this: considering we’re both from Jiang Village, you can pay half a million yuan as compensation.”
“Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to involve the police.”
Jiang Hao’s declaration seemed to seal the madwoman’s fate!
Hearing his proposal, everyone agreed that Jiang Hao’s demand for half a million was perfectly justified.
At that moment, Jiang Daloong was at a loss.
Even with a fifty percent discount, half a million yuan was beyond his means!
Regret consumed her.
If only she hadn’t spoken out of turn!
Confronted with Jiang Hao’s icy stare, she desperately looked to the others for mercy.
She hoped someone would intercede on her behalf.
But given his past behavior, he had alienated everyone—no one was inclined to advocate for him.
Jiang Hao then took a pen and paper from his car and drafted an IOU.
“I’m aware you can’t pay it all now, but you have five days to come up with the money.
If not, I’ll be forced to call the police.”
