Chapter 266 Too Thick-skinned
She never expected that Shen Meier was such a good person.
It's truly rare to find such wonderful people in the world.
"It's alright, just be well. I'll be going now, I'll come see you tomorrow." Shen Wantang prepared to leave.
She's going home now; she's been wandering around outside all morning.
"Okay, be careful on your way back." Grandma Wang nodded, and Grandpa He also wanted to stay and chat with Grandma Wang.
Shen Wantang had just driven off when she was stopped by a red BMW at a corner.
"My husband is this woman!" The middle-aged woman was accompanied by a burly, bald man with a thick gold chain around his neck!
At first glance, it has the characteristics of a nouveau riche.
"You? Stopping my wife from coming to collect debts?" The bald man looked at her, his eyes filled with lust. This young girl was much prettier than his wife.
Shen Wantang looked at them and laughed: "You're so rich, yet you're trying to scam money from an old person. That's just too...tacky, isn't it?"
"What the hell do you know? That's ten thousand yuan!" said the middle-aged woman, let's call her the "Red Woman" for now.
Who told her to be dressed in red herself?
"Is ten thousand yuan a lot?" Shen Wantang frowned. For ordinary people, it is indeed a lot, but she is not an ordinary person!
"Hehehe, little girl, you probably haven't seen how much ten thousand yuan is, have you?" The woman in red sneered. Even if her family had a little money, they wouldn't dare to spend ten thousand yuan so easily!
"What brings you here?" Shen Wantang didn't want to waste any more words with them.
The bald man and the woman in red sneered, "What can we do? We won't do anything illegal. We're just here to collect a debt."
"Collecting debts? Impossible, they don't owe you anything." Shen Wantang shook her head slightly: "It seems you won't let this go until this matter is resolved today, will you?"
"Nonsense, that's our money." The woman in red rolled her eyes.
"There's no way we can get in. Let's just stay here! I have plenty of time." Shen Wantang leaned against the hood of her car and looked at them.
The meaning was clear: if they wanted to get past her, they'd have to get past her. She wanted to see what other options these two had.
"Honey, look at her car. It looks big, but it's a no-name brand. I've never seen one like it before," the woman in red whispered in her husband's ear.
The bald man also observed Shen Wantang's car; he hadn't seen it before.
Moreover, there's a lane next to her car that their car should be able to squeeze through, but it might need to be repainted. But repainting costs a few hundred dollars, can that compare to ten thousand dollars?
So the two of them got in the car, intending to drive through and force their way in.
Shen Wantang frowned. She had seen stupid people before, but she had never seen anyone this stupid.
She thoughtfully made way for them to pass.
After seeing them pass by, Shen Wantang immediately called the police.
The police arrived quickly because Shen Wantang said that some people were extorting money and deliberately running people over with their cars.
The police arrived shortly afterward.
The bald man was still gloating over his actions when they heard police sirens. They were about to go find Aunt Wang when they heard the sound of sirens.
The woman in red stared at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "You little bitch, you actually dared to call the police?!"
"Why don't you dare call the police? You scratched my car, can't I call the police?" Shen Wantang retorted.
"You little slut, all you want is money, right? This car of yours... five hundred yuan, is that enough?" The red woman glared at her angrily.
"When the police come, just say we'll settle this privately, and we'll give you five hundred dollars! That should be enough for you!"
Shen Wantang raised an eyebrow: "You guys really are stubbornly persistent."
She thought that once the police arrived, the two men would behave themselves, or at least run away or stop trying to collect the debt.
However, she underestimated the shamelessness of this group.
"Who called the police?" The police arrived quickly.
Seeing both cars, it was unclear who started the fight.
"They forced their way in and scratched my car. My car is a high-end custom-made one, and it's scratched on two sides. The repair cost should be around 30,000 yuan," Shen Wantang said calmly to the police officer.
"What?! How much?!" the woman in red shrieked. "You're charging so much for painting just two sections of this cheap car? You're ripping me off! Officers, arrest her right now!"
The bald man nodded: "Exactly, officer, that's outrageous! Thirty thousand!"
"Didn't you spend 20,000 yuan on repainting your car last time? Just look at your car." Shen Wantang pointed at her car.
"Last time? What happened?" When the officer heard that her BMW cost 20,000 to repaint, he immediately thought of what the caller had said on the phone earlier about someone scamming him.
Shen Wantang told the police officer everything that had happened last time, including the incident of the woman in red assaulting someone.
"Is what she said true?" the police officer asked, looking at the woman in red and the bald man.
The woman in red was undecided, and she looked at her husband hoping he could help her.
"No, that old woman scratched our car. We discussed it for a long time and decided to settle it privately. She compensated us for lost wages and the cost of repairs. We agreed on a total of 20,000 yuan, and the old woman has already given us 10,000 yuan."
“They didn’t agree to that. You forced them to confess. It happened the day before yesterday. I only found out this morning and just came back from the hospital. The medical bills are still in my car. They assaulted someone, so they need to pay compensation!” Shen Wantang took out the bills and handed them to the police officer.
The officer looked at it and confirmed that it was indeed the case.
“The surveillance footage can show it,” Shen Wantang said. “Besides, those two have been using violence to collect the debt. Aunt Wang only needs to compensate for the car paint and half a day’s wages, which adds up to less than a thousand yuan, but they actually want ten thousand!”
"Officer, no..." The woman in red panicked.
"We're discussing..."
The officer raised his hand to interrupt her: "We will investigate the matter. If what this lady said is true, you will be held criminally liable."
"Ms. Shen, may I ask where the driver was hit?" At this moment, another black BMW pulled up, and a man in a suit and tie got out, carrying a briefcase.
"This side is scratched, and the car door is also damaged. We need you to estimate the damage." Shen Wantang stepped aside to let the car company's people handle it.
“Okay, I’ll estimate right away, Miss Shen.”
The woman in red and the bald man were surprised to find that a professional was there to assess the damage... which meant the car must be very expensive!
"Ms. Shen, I've done a rough estimate, and it will cost around 2.8 yuan. We'll need the insurance company to come over and give us the exact amount." The company representative quickly provided the estimate on a piece of paper.
"What?! How can it be so expensive! Our luxury car, BMW, only cost five hundred to get its paint job done!" the red-clad woman roared.
