The family was dumbfounded by the ironclad evidence.
They were no longer the victims but the accused. All trembling in fear, they started to cry and beg for mercy.
“We were just trying to scare her.”
“We didn’t cause much of an impact. At most, we’ll just refund her the medical fees.”
“That’s right, Mr. Policeman. We’re willing to return the money.”
“…”
The police officer in charge of recording was the young man who received Chen Yuan. Hearing this, he stopped writing and looked up at them with a sneer. “So you were just playing a prank?”
The woman who pulled Aunt Chen’s hair and hit her last night was now as timid as a quail. She shrunk her neck and nodded crazily. “Yes, I was just joking. We already know our mistake, so don’t hold it against us… We’re not cultured and don’t know anything.”
The young policeman had seen many people and was used to them pretending to be pitiful. He knocked on the table, and when they piped down, he said in a serious tone, “Then do you know what extortion is?! Do you know that extortion and blackmail can result in jail time? According to the criminal law, you can be sentenced from one to three years in prison.”
“What? Jail!”
This time, the entire family was stunned.
The crocodile tears were out as they cried, “We’re not going to jail! We don’t know anything. We were just joking with her.”
“Quiet.” The interrogator patted the table, then looked at all of them and asked, “Tell me, who asked you to do it?”
The whole family looked scared. They hesitated but still did not want to say anything.
The young policeman wasn’t in a hurry. He put down his fountain pen and leaned back in his chair, looking like he would slowly take his time with them.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I have plenty of time. But let me remind you that if you confess, you’ll be granted leniency. If you keep quiet, you’ll be severely punished.
“You still have a chance to redeem yourselves. But if you insist on not cooperating, we can only put the blame on you and take it that you’re maliciously extorting them.
“Malicious extortion will get you three years in jail!”
This family had gone to find trouble with Aunt Chen for money.
No matter how much money the Zhou family gave, how could it be as serious as going to jail?
The family cried for a while. Seeing that there was no other way, someone raised his trembling hand. “I-I’ll tell you.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Mr. Zhou had lunch with Captain Yang and the others at a high-class private restaurant.
He even ordered a few bottles of vintage wine.
The meal cost a six-figure sum.
However, Mr. Zhou was very generous and did not even bat an eyelid.
Before leaving, he even gave everyone a big red packet. He knew how to behave.
He and his assistant sent them to the door and walked them to the car one by one. They bent down beside Captain Yang’s car and knocked on the window.
After the window rolled down, he raised his eyebrows and said to the person in the car, “As long as you can do my job this time, I’ll ‘thank’ you properly later.”
He emphasized the word ‘thank’.
Everyone was an adult. They smiled happily at each other. Soon, they finished exchanging pleasantries.
The man in the car looked at his watch. His cell phone, which he had thrown on the passenger seat, lit up. Not daring to delay any longer, he said to Mr. Zhou, “President Zhou, I’ll leave first.”
Mr. Zhou stepped aside. “Take care.”
He watched as the black car slowly drove away. Heaving a sigh of relief, he felt even more relaxed. He turned to his assistant and said, “Let’s go. We’ll look for that person tonight.”
He was naturally talking about Aunt Chen.
He still had not realized the storm was brewing.
