Chapter 334: Extortion
Hearing the woman’s words, Qin Yan huffed out a burst of angry laughter, "You mentioned rear-ending him yourself. Under traffic laws, if a person collided with someone they were tailgating, it’s all their fault. Now, you’ve admitted to tailgating someone, so you’re fully responsible!"
She continued, "You deserve the broken electric-powered scooter. Initially, I wanted to help my grandfather subtly settle the matter, but since you’re acting unreasonable, then fine. Now, I want you to compensate my grandfather for his mental trauma and shock."
"Also, since you frightened him, nobody knows if his blood pressure will peak or something. Everyone knows that the elderly are more prone to heart attacks and cerebral hemorrhage if their blood pressure increases. We can only be sure after an MRI scan in the hospital. A local MRI scan costs 700 yuan; two trips cost 1400 yuan. Besides, there’s also the payment for specialists, medicine prescription, and rides to the hospital. I’ll give you a discount—you’ll only have to pay 2000 yuan!"
The woman was baffled by Qin Yan’s accusations, "You... You’re being unreasonable! What rear-end? I’m just using that as an analogy. I’m not a car. I can’t believe you actually brought up traffic laws! Look clearly, this is an electric-powered scooter!"
"Who told you that electric-powered scooters are allowed to break traffic laws?"
"There’s no such thing as tailgating for an electric-powered scooter!"
"Even if it’s not a tailgating, this is still a collision with pedestrians. According to traffic laws, whether it’s a motor or a non-motor vehicle, as long as you hit a pedestrian, you have to take full responsibility. If you don’t believe me, I’ll call the traffic police now. We’ll see whether it’s your fault or my grandfather’s! At the same time, we’ll have the traffic police watch you pay up."
"You... Just you wait!"
The woman panicked when she heard that Qin Yan wanted to bring in the traffic police and demand compensation from her. She started to leave after throwing that angry statement at Qin Yan.
She had only taken two steps when Qin Yan blocked her.
"What are you doing? I didn’t even ask you to pay for damaging my scooter, and you’re blocking my way. Are you trying to pick a fight?"
