Chapter 238

Two hundred thousand?

The anger in Elena's eyes intensified. This person was absolutely outrageous - even though she didn't know much about cars, she knew that the damage to this vehicle would cost at most fifty thousand to fix, and with insurance coverage, he wouldn't need to pay a penny out of pocket.

"What's wrong? You're not happy about compensating two hundred thousand?" The man rolled up his sleeves, looking fierce and menacing. "Let me tell you today - if you don't pay up, don't even think about leaving! Don't think I'll be polite just because you're a woman. Female drivers are road killers, aren't they? It would be better if women like you could never drive again!"

"You—" Elena gritted her teeth, torn between abandoning this matter and rescheduling for three days later.

Just then, a man in his early twenties suddenly approached from the side, holding his phone and speaking directly to the man and woman: "I recorded the entire incident clearly on my phone. This lady stopped for three seconds before your car crashed into her, yet you're blaming her for not knowing how to stop and demanding two hundred thousand in extortion.

This isn't just about points deduction and fines - extortion can land you in prison. Do you need me to submit this video to the police?"

What?

Both the man and woman were stunned, looking at each other. When they crashed into Elena's car, it was completely because the child was crying incessantly and they got distracted. But seeing Elena's expensive car, they knew compensation would definitely be over a hundred thousand.

In their desperation, they decided to shift the blame, never expecting someone to interfere!

The man couldn't help but feel furious. Originally, he wouldn't have to pay compensation and could even get two hundred thousand, but this young man fresh out of school had to come and ruin everything.

"Video? There's a video on the phone? Let me see?"

The man snatched the phone from the young man's hand and immediately smashed it on the ground, breaking it in half, then stomped on it viciously with his shoe. "Where's the video now? Show it to me!"

The young man hadn't expected such vicious and bold behavior. His expression darkened, but he remained calm: "It's fine. I already saved the video to the cloud. As long as there's a phone, the video can be accessed."

He turned to Elena: "Sister, could you lend me your phone?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man grabbed the young man by the collar and slammed him against the car angrily: "You little bastard! I think you need a beating!"

After speaking, the man actually raised his fist and, when no one expected it, punched the young man hard in the face.

The man was already tall and burly - the force of this punch was unimaginable. Elena was shocked and quickly tried to push the man away: "Are you crazy? How can you hit people!"

The man violently shoved Elena away and, in his rage, pinned the young man to the ground and beat him.

Elena lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her palms scraped against the rough surface, immediately breaking the skin. Ignoring the pain, she quickly grabbed her phone to call the police, then asked passersby to help break up the fight.

When the police arrived, the man was still shouting, pointing at the young man's nose: "I think you deserved that beating! What business is this of yours, running your mouth like that? Let me tell you, you're finished from now on - I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Elena was trembling with anger, but her first concern wasn't arguing with the man - she walked over to the young man and asked gently: "Are you okay? Do your wounds hurt? Should I take you to the hospital?"

The young man stood to the side wiping his nosebleed. His naturally fair skin made the bruising on his face even more obvious. Despite his decent build, he looked as fragile as a weak chick compared to the burly adult.

Elena was afraid something serious had happened to him and offered the handkerchief from her pocket.

"Wipe your hands."

The young man was stunned, looking at the expensive handkerchief and refusing: "Paper is fine, thank you. I'm okay."

"Please wipe them." Elena rubbed the handkerchief on the man's dirt-stained hands and handed it to him, saying earnestly: "I should be thanking you for stepping up to help me."

Elena smiled at him, then turned her attention back to the man who was describing the situation to the police.

Since it was already past five o'clock and the office would be closed by the time she got there anyway, she now had plenty of time to settle accounts with this man properly.

Setting aside the extortion and false accusations, she absolutely couldn't tolerate this man hitting people and making threats.

Elena's expression grew increasingly cold as she walked over, hearing the man arrogantly say: "So what if I hit him? That little punk deserved it - serves him right! What business was it of his? My car got hit, that female driver didn't look when stopping, causing a dent in my new car. We were discussing it privately and civilly, then he suddenly rushed over to slander me. I was being polite by not beating him to death!"

"Watch your attitude. No matter what, hitting people is wrong. Keep this up and I'll take you to the station!" The police naturally couldn't tolerate such arrogance, their expressions very serious.

The woman beside him tugged at the man, and his expression softened slightly: "Then make that kid apologize to me!"

"A social scumbag who can't drive properly and slanders others at will, a pitiful creature who skipped nine years of compulsory education and has no manners - and you want others to apologize to you?" Elena couldn't help but want to laugh. "Let me tell you, not only will I not make him apologize, I'll also sue you for extortion. See you in court."

"What?" The man raised his voice in disbelief. Over such a trivial matter, she actually wanted to go to court?

He almost thought he'd heard wrong. This woman who was acting submissive and ready to pay money earlier, but now had confidence because the police arrived - he wasn't afraid of her at all.

"You want to sue me? On what grounds?" The man gestured toward the young man, his eyes full of malice: "Don't think that just because he said a few words for you, you can turn black into white. Today you'll compensate for the car whether you want to or not!"

The man looked as if he wanted to skin the young man alive, making Elena frown deeply. She was afraid this kind-hearted young man who helped her would face crazy retaliation from this man.

Since he dared to openly commit fraud and beat people in front of everyone, there was probably nothing he wouldn't do.

She gritted her teeth: "You should compensate for the damage to my car first."

The man got so angry he wanted to rush forward and hit someone again, but this time his target changed from the young man to Elena. To be so brazen in front of the police showed that if Elena had refused to pay and called the police earlier, he definitely would have gotten physical.

Seeing the police intervene, Elena's gaze turned icy cold. Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side: "Elena."
