Chapter 1620 - 1594: Never Let Them Off

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Li Cuihua was instantly speechless.

The policeman nearby was also stunned.

At this moment, the woman thoroughly understood.

Initially, she wanted to extort some money, but now she realized she had hit a hard wall.

She wished she could slap herself in the face as she looked at Ye Chen.

When the man offered her a million, why hadn’t she realized there was something wrong?

The woman immediately gave a signal to the elderly person on the bed.

The elderly person understood right away.

"Young man, I remembered wrong, it wasn’t him who hit me."

Saying this, the old lady even started crying.

"Young man, I made a mistake, I was confused, I’m sorry, I wronged you, we’ll return the money immediately."

The old person’s crying appearance was very pitiful.

But seeing this scene, Ye Chen felt no sympathy at all.

Pitiful?

If it weren’t for the video evidence, maybe I would be the pitiful one.

This kind of person is not worth pitying at all.

The ones they intend to harm are people like me, but what about others?

Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount for an average person.

What if it were a student?

What kind of shadow would this cast on a student?

Most importantly is the societal impact.

Why is it that so often in the media we hear reports of elderly people falling and no one helping? It’s because of people like this elderly person’s family.

They think they gain a small advantage, but they hurt kind-hearted people.

It’s precisely because of people like them that many young people hesitate to get involved.

Even parents educate their children to remain indifferent to matters that don’t concern them.

This leads to deteriorating social standards.

Now that I’ve encountered this situation, it must be dealt with seriously.

Ye Chen looked at the crying elderly person on the hospital bed with a detached expression.

No one else spoke.

The resolution of this matter actually depended on Ye Chen.

If things were settled privately, Ye Chen wouldn’t pursue it, return the money, and the matter would be over.

If Ye Chen continued to pursue it, then it would become a criminal case.

The woman saw Ye Chen didn’t react and began moral coercion.

"Kid, my mom’s crying like this, haven’t you got any sympathy?"

Seeing her mother’s tears have no effect, the woman couldn’t help but shout loudly.

She even fell to the ground in a tantrum, pointing at Ye Chen.

"Will you only be satisfied if you drive our family to death?"

For a moment, the ward was filled with crying.

The policeman gave Ye Chen a sign, and then the two of them walked out of the ward.

"Are you sure you still want to sue their family?"

Ye Chen looked at him in surprise.

The policeman said: "I don’t mean anything else, if you want to sue them, although the other party would be punished, it’s really troublesome if..."

Ye Chen replied coldly: "No ifs, I’m definitely suing. I want people like this to be punished."

The policeman listened and said nothing more.

Ye Chen understood that there was a trend in society now.

It’s called "I am weak, I have the truth."

The opposite party was an elder, and Ye Chen could easily put up a million yuan.

Therefore, when the elderly cried, many people would feel the elderly is pitiful.

Policemen have deep feelings about these kinds of things.

That’s why he wanted to persuade Ye Chen, to avoid complications.

Ye Chen said to the policeman: "Tell me, is having more pitiful villains worse, or having fewer kind-hearted people more terrible?"

The policeman understood Ye Chen’s meaning.

He sighed and didn’t say anything: "Ah, young man!"

The policeman knew that Ye Chen evidently wasn’t planning to let it go.

The two of them returned to the ward.

The woman and the elderly were still crying there.

Seeing the concerned parties come back, they cried even harder.

"Our family has old and young, and we originally don’t have money, you still bully us like this."

"If you continue forcing me, then I’ll jump."

The woman walked to the window, extending a foot in an act as if to jump.

The policeman became anxious at this: "Please come down, let’s talk this through properly."

Not just the policeman, even the nurse was startled.

Seeing it was effective, the woman shouted there: "You’re driving us to death, leaving the poor no way to live."

Ye Chen felt speechless, this woman was truly wasted if she didn’t become an emperor.

The woman’s yelling immediately attracted quite a few people.

The crowd gathered at the entrance of the ward.

Seeing so many people come, the woman cried even louder.

She loudly aired her grievances to everyone.

Insisting that their family is very innocent.

It’s just that the old woman couldn’t think straight and made a mistake.

Ye Chen, however, was relentless, insisting the police arrest them.

Pushing their entire family to despair.

After hearing their words, someone indeed stood up to speak for them.

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, I think it should be let go."

"Yeah, their family is already very pitiful."

"This young man is really too ruthless, is he really planning to jail them?"

Seeing so many people, the woman cried even louder.

At this point, someone finally spoke up for them.

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, I think it should be let go."

"Yeah, their family is already pitiful enough."

"Why is this young man’s heart so ruthless, just insisting on sending them to jail?"

Many people were saying similar things.

The policeman’s face also looked bad.

He was most worried about encountering these kinds of situations.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up.

He looked at Ye Chen with disdain.

"She’s already threatening to jump, how can you be so cold-blooded? I just don’t get it, how could your heart be so cruel?"

Ye Chen looked at him in surprise and then asked: "What do you think I should do, Uncle?"

The man replied smugly: "Haven’t you heard the saying, ’When possible, show mercy’? How can you have no compassion at all?"

At this moment, the man seemed to be standing in a superior position, speaking with an arrogant tone.

"Oh." Ye Chen nodded as if he had been persuaded.

Seeing Ye Chen’s expression, the man became even more proud.

"Young man, you should be a bit more generous. Besides, the old lady is this age, can’t we help a bit? What harm does it do?"

Ye Chen’s expression looked even more convinced, then he admired and praised the man: "You really are compassionate."

Pleased by Ye Chen’s compliment, the man became more excited.

"If it were me, not only wouldn’t I let the police arrest them, I’d pay their medical bills too."

Ye Chen nodded: "Alright, are you saying you’ll help pay the medical bills?"

The man was instantly dumbfounded: "Ah?"

Ye Chen smiled as he looked at him: "Didn’t you say the elderly are pitiful, since you’re so compassionate, why not help their family and pay the bill?"

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the man’s face immediately changed: "This..."
