Chapter 696 - 735 Forced to Compromise
Er Pi was now full of self-satisfaction, obviously the one behind the mischief; it was just a pity that Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli were too angry to notice.
"You little girl, what have you got to say for yourselves now? You boasted big talk just earlier, saying you’d pay three hundred thousand yuan."
"I..." Su Yiyi opened her mouth, her face deathly pale, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Song Xiaoli was somewhat brasher and knew that Li Yifei would come soon, so she gathered her senses and said, clenching her small fists, "We didn’t hit anyone, so why should we pay you any money?"
Er Pi pointed at the police and said, "You see, the police are right here. If you have any objections, go ahead and talk to them—see if a private settlement or a public one suits you better."
The two policemen looked at Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli with sympathetic eyes; although they were unclear on the facts, the two girls naturally elicited sympathy. However, they were powerless in such matters, and one of them cleared his throat and said, "I think a private settlement would be better. You two kids should call your parents over."
Su Yiyi, with tears welling up, said, "We didn’t hit anyone, officer, we really didn’t. We were doing a good deed."
The two policemen sighed and said, "We can’t handle this matter. If you don’t agree to a private settlement, then a case should be filed with the Traffic Police Team, and they’ll take care of it there." After saying this, the two policemen walked away.
Su Yiyi suddenly felt as if she had lost her main support. She had thought the police would help clear up the truth, but they had left her with such a conclusion. She stood there, bewildered, her mind a complete blank, tears of injustice streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.
At this moment, Er Pi grew even more confident, sitting with crossed legs and smoking a cigarette, he said, "You little girl, have you nothing to say now? Pay up."
