Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 701 - 657: Cat and Mouse

Upon hearing the distant sound of police sirens, Lin Yi put away his phone; since they had already arrived, he didn’t need to call the police himself.

However, the fat guy rolling on the ground in pain seemed visibly flustered when he heard the sirens.

But when he saw Lin Yi’s pale face, he seemed to regain some confidence:

"Kid, I’m giving you a chance now. The police will be here soon, and if this goes to court, it’ll be bad for you. Don’t even think about the 300,000; I’ll tell them you intentionally hurt me, and not only will you have to pay me, but you’ll also go to jail, you know?"

Lin Yi nodded at the fat man’s words:

"I know, so what do you want to do? Why don’t you show me a way out? As I said before, I can’t come up with that much money."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s tone, the fat man gained even more confidence, even with the police about to arrive:

"I see you’re quite sensible, plus I’m a kind-hearted person. I wouldn’t bear to send you to jail.

So I’ll give you a chance, 300,000, just give me 300,000, and this matter will be private.

We’ll settle it between ourselves, you go your way, I go mine, I won’t bother you anymore.

Think carefully, this is the last chance.

The police are arriving soon, and if they get here, I can’t guarantee I won’t sue you for intentional injury."

No one knew where this fat guy got his courage from; people around were feeling awkward watching.

Right now, the tall Lin Yi was standing, looking down at the fat guy rolling on the ground in pain, yet it was the fat guy threatening Lin Yi.

This situation was somewhat comical, leaving everyone feeling confused. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

And no one knew if Lin Yi’s large stature was just a waste, seeing him so weak.

Upon hearing the fat guy’s words, Lin Yi actually nodded.

Not only that, his originally timid expression suddenly changed.

It turned somewhat cold, and he spoke coolly:

"Indeed, I’m also a kind-hearted person; if you’d apologized earlier, I wouldn’t have made a fuss."

These words made the fat guy on the ground look visibly stunned, unsure at Lin Yi’s newfound confidence to speak like this.

Does he think my 200-plus pounds are just for show?

Just as he wanted to sit up and teach Lin Yi a lesson with a baseball bat, a sharp pain in his lower back made him groan and lie back down.

Seeing the fat guy trying to get up, reaching for the baseball bat, the crowd was shocked, fearing he’d beat Lin Yi.

But when the fat guy grabbed the baseball bat and lay back down in pain, the crowd couldn’t help but feel relieved and even somewhat satisfied.

Just then, a police siren was heard nearby, and two motorcycles stopped next to them.

Two police officers stepped down and approached them.

Upon seeing the situation, they were stunned, then glared at Lin Yi viciously.

A middle-aged officer reached for his baton at his waist, looking at Lin Yi with some hostility, and said sternly:

"Did you hit him?"

Upon hearing this, a nearby colleague took a defensive stance, glaring at Lin Yi.

However, facing the tense duo, Lin Yi shrugged innocently:

"Officers, you might have misunderstood; I’m the victim here!

This fat guy wasn’t hit by me; he fell down himself, and I suspect he’s trying to extort me by faking his fall."

Pausing slightly, Lin Yi pointed at the baseball bat in the fat guy’s hand and explained to the police:

"Look, he’s still holding the bat. This guy suddenly crashed into my car from behind, and when he got out, he threatened to smash my windows with that Korea, so scared I didn’t even get out of the car.

But later, I had no choice. My daughter is still in the car, and I feared he’d harm her, so I opened the car door and got out.

But who would’ve thought, as soon as I opened the door, he faked a fall. I realized it’s not just about extorting money; this is extortion! Thank goodness you’re here."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, the fat guy on the ground grew enraged.

He pointed the baseball bat at Lin Yi and shouted arrogantly:

"You’re talking nonsense! It was you who suddenly slowed down and crashed into my car, and when I confronted you, you knocked me over with the car door on purpose. You’re the one making false accusations!

I’m telling you, this isn’t over. I won’t accept a private settlement, even if you pay me; I want you locked up for a few days."

Upon seeing this, Lin Yi immediately pointed at the bat in the fat guy’s hand and said to the two skeptical officers:

"Look, look, he’s still using the bat to threaten me. Thank goodness you’re here; he scared me to death just now."

The two police officers also turned their gaze to the fat guy on the ground, seeing him holding the bat and pointing at Lin Yi, his face oozing aggression, which made the officers frown.

Their hostility towards Lin Yi vanished, turning instead to the fat guy; they reprimanded sternly:

"Put it down! Put the bat down! What do you intend to do? How dare you act like this in front of me? If there’s an issue, handle it through proper channels. What are you doing? Threatening?"

Chastised by the police, the fat guy came to his senses, his mind clearing up. He quickly tossed the baseball bat aside and smiled awkwardly, saying:

"Of course not, of course not, I got overly emotional for a moment. But this kid kept slandering me!

Officers, it’s great you’re here; hurry up and arrest this kid.

This kid, even if he pays me, I won’t accept. I won’t accept a private settlement."
