Chapter 275: Chapter 167: Sir, They’ve Brought You Another Banner_3

Yang Chen said to Zhao Ying, "Junior, did you understand what I meant?"

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "I understood!"

Zhang Xiang said with a smile, "Mr. Yang, don’t worry, I’ll teach her how to talk. But, there’s something I don’t know if I should say or not."

Yang Chen: "Lawyer Zhang, what can’t you say to me?"

Zhang Xiang smiled and nodded, then said softly, "I think there’s something wrong with this driver too. Normally, a driver would let passengers off at an open area near the neighborhood entrance, but instead, he stopped next to the green belt, right in front of the old lady. From the timing, the old lady and her group had just arrived there for less than a minute, and his car stopped right in front of her. Plus, when Miss Zhao said she wanted to get off, the driver deliberately called out to her. At that moment, she turned instinctively to look at the driver and didn’t see the old lady outside the car. From my experience as a lawyer, this driver is likely a member of their gang. We can have the traffic department pull up the road surveillance to confirm, and if they are a gang, they must communicate via WeChat or something. Officer Chen can check it out."

Just now, Yang Chen felt something was off with Song Yixue, but couldn’t pinpoint what.

Listening to Zhang Xiang’s analysis, he realized it made perfect sense.

Chen Qingxia finished watching the video and inspecting the jade bracelet, then said, "Based on the video, you, old lady, clearly made a deliberate move to hit the car door. Also, this jade isn’t newly broken; it’s been broken for a while, with oil stains on the break. To put it plainly, you’re part of a scam extortion gang. Come on, come with us for an investigation."

The onlooking crowd was shocked.

"What? A scam gang?"

"No wonder they just asked for 700,000 straight away; that’s not normal at all."

"Wow, now even scams are done by gangs."

...

The two hidden among the onlookers saw it wasn’t going well and turned to leave.

Yang Chen immediately pointed at them and said, "Those two are probably members of the gang too, don’t let them get away."

The two instantly took off, but the police quickly tackled them to the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Xiang walked over, showing the authorization letter Zhao Ying just signed, and said, "I’m Miss Zhao Ying’s proxy lawyer, Zhang Xiang. From now on, I’m fully responsible for handling the case where you’re extorting Miss Zhao Ying."

The burly man quickly said, "What extortion? I... I can just return the money to him."

Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "You can’t just take and return money as you please. 700,000 falls under the category of particularly large-scale extortion, and if any of you have criminal records, you might all be facing life sentences this time."

"Ah!" The whole crowd was shocked.

The burly man: "What life sentence? Don’t scare me!"

Zhang Xiang: "I’m a professional lawyer, you should trust my abilities."

The burly man looked at Yang Chen and said, "This was all part of your plan, wasn’t it? You saw the loophole and deliberately gave me 700,000, didn’t you?"

Yang Chen: "Brother, I told you from the start, the outcome depends entirely on your choices. You asked for 700,000; how can you blame me?"

The burly man: "But you knowingly gave us so much despite the loophole, isn’t that deliberately setting us up? Officer, we’re not convinced! He deliberately gave us that much to trap us!"

Chen Qingxia: "As long as you asked for it, the responsibility lies with you. Alright, come with us."

The police immediately loaded the entire gang into the vehicles.

At this moment, Song Yixue tried to slip away.

Zhang Xiang immediately said, "Mr. Driver, you’ll also need to come to the police station for investigation." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Song Yixue: "What does it have to do with me? I’m a victim too!"

Zhang Xiang: "Heh... everything will be determined by evidence. Let the police check your phone and the road surveillance footage. Whether you’re an accomplice or a victim, it will naturally become clear."

Song Yixue instinctively touched the phone in his pocket, but he thought he’d already deleted the chat logs, thinking the police wouldn’t find anything.

Little did he know, the police’s tech department could recover data and could contact WeChat for access to his chat logs. He thought deleting them would keep him safe.

The onlooking crowd started talking again.

"No wonder he didn’t bargain; he wanted to get the whole gang locked up for life!"

"That’s terrifying, just quietly getting people sentenced for life like that?"

"This shows the advantage of knowing the law; in casual conversation, they managed to send the other party to prison."

"And by the way, I remember a star’s mistress demanded money from him and ended up being sent to jail by him. Apparently, asking for money far beyond a reasonable range counts as extortion."

...

Everyone arrived at the police station.

Through police interrogation of the crime syndicate, phone verification, and analysis of road surveillance footage, it was confirmed that including the driver Song Yixue, all these individuals were part of the same scam extortion gang.

They had various methods of operation, with today’s being one of the common ones.

Song Yixue, after picking up passengers, identified a target and contacted the gang, getting them to prepare at the destination in advance.

Song Yixue would deliberately stop the car in front of the old lady. The moment the passenger opened the door to get off, he would call out, causing most passengers to instinctively turn their heads to look at him, allowing the old lady to bump into the car door and fall down.

The reason the driver didn’t stop in the open area near the neighborhood entrance was due to potential surveillance there, or the behavior might be too obvious. It’s more of a strategy to stop next to the green belt, providing only a small space for passengers to open the door, ensuring the old lady, who conveniently passes by, would get hit.
