Capítulo 2: How to deal with it?
The scorching sun of summer in July and August is relentless, its blazing rays akin to a fiery orb roasting the earth, capable of making the ground sizzle at a mere splash of water.
Yet, even in such heat, it cannot deter the diligent steps of pedestrians on the streets, striving to make a living.
Ding-ling-ling. In the late afternoon, a young man in a thin undershirt, wearing a pair of worn-out military boots, was pedaling a dilapidated tricycle down the street.
A bell was tied to the front of the tricycle, and the cargo bed was piled with assorted rubbish and waste cardboard, with a large signboard affixed to the side.
The words "Scrap Collection" were written in a crooked and unsightly manner, which, in Chen Liuhe's own words, was a lively form of artistic expression.
Beneath these three large characters, there was a line of smaller text resembling earthworms, boasting of comprehensive household services, supporting door-to-door service, with a hotline number xxxxxxxx.
Undoubtedly, this had become a conspicuous sight in the bustling city. However, most of the gazes cast upon it were filled with disdain and contempt. It was hard to imagine a young man of tall stature and good looks choosing such a way of life in his prime.
To put it nicely, this could be seen as enduring hardship and working hard, but to put it bluntly, it was simply surrendering to a life without dreams.
Having worked in this trade for half a month, Chen Liuhe naturally didn't care about the gaze of others, especially since he was a man who lived by his own rules, laughing at the ever-changing world.
After a tough negotiation, using his usual tactics of shortchanging, Chen Liuhe successfully purchased a batch of waste paper from an elderly lady at an extremely low price.
Just as he was about to load the goods onto his tricycle with satisfaction, suddenly, an accident occurred on the street next to him. A red BMW 5 Series came to a sudden stop in the middle of the street, and lying in front of the car was a man who appeared to be around thirty years old, with a sly look.
"He hit someone!" This was the first thought of everyone. Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered at the scene, mostly curious bystanders not thinking much of the incident.
The door of the BMW opened, revealing a pair of white crystal-strap high-heeled sandals, followed by a pair of fair, smooth, slender legs. Wrapped in thin flesh-colored stockings, these legs appeared even more clean and shiny, stirring people's hearts.
Soon, a woman emerged from the car, appearing in everyone's sight.
The owner of the car was a young woman in a red dress, with bright eyes and white teeth, stunningly beautiful, with delicate and exquisite features. Coupled with her charming and provocative figure, she was extremely sexy and charming, definitely belonging to the kind that made losers drool and rich men stare without turning away.
With a head of wine-red waves, this woman, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, exuded a mature charm, like a ripe peach.
Seeing such a stunning beauty on a hot day, it was easy to understand why it would make one's mouth dry and testosterone levels soar.
Another top-notch beauty worth a score of ninety. Chen Liuhe defined her in his mind. It should be noted that Chen Liuhe's aesthetic standards were very high, and women who could score ninety points in his eyes were extremely rare.
Unexpectedly, within just a month, he had encountered two such women. One was Su Wanyue, whom he had seen at the Zhenyun Prison half a month ago, and the other was the troubled woman in front of him now.
"Ouch, it hurts so much, I hit someone, my leg is almost broken." The man lying in front of the BMW was wailing in pain. When he saw the woman get out of the car, he wailed even louder.
Leaning lazily against the tricycle, Chen Liuhe lit a cigarette and shook his head gently, offering a critique: "The acting is too exaggerated, not professional enough."
This was clearly a staged collision, but Chen Liuhe was not a chivalrous hero who would rush to the rescue of a damsel in distress. He was not that idle.
His gaze involuntarily swept over the woman's body again, her broad chest and curvy hips making him look twice: big breasts, round buttocks, she's either a mistress or a lover. Chen Liuhe was very satisfied with his blunt assessment.
Not everyone had Chen Liuhe's keen eyesight, and the beautiful and moving female car owner had never encountered such a situation before. Even though she knew the other party had intentionally hit her car, she was a bit flustered for a moment.
"Are you okay, sir? Where are you injured? Shall I take you to the hospital?" The beautiful woman said nervously.
"Okay? My leg is broken, how did you even drive? What should we do now? I can't even stand up." The man lying on the ground wailed, "Are we going to handle this privately or through official channels?"
The female car owner was not too foolish. She immediately realized that the other party was deliberately trying to extort money from her. She was instantly angry and blushed slightly: "Let's handle this officially, call the police first, then go to the hospital. It's my fault. I'll take responsibility."
The man was obviously experienced and not afraid at all, insisting, "Alright then, call the police, go to the hospital for a check-up, I want a thorough examination, then make a statement. I don't think I'll have time for this even in a day."
Hearing this, the female car owner was both anxious and helpless. She had a lot of things to deal with and didn't want to waste time. Even though she knew the other party was trying to extort money from her, she had no way to deal with it.
"Okay, what about handling this privately?" The female car owner stomped her foot, an angry gesture that made many onlookers drool.
"Fine, you give me the money, and I'll go to the hospital for a check-up myself. My leg is broken, so I'll need several thousand yuan for medical expenses, right?" The man made a bold demand.
The female car owner gritted her teeth, but obviously, she had something urgent to deal with and didn't want to waste time. She took out a wad of money from her handbag and threw it at the man.
But she wasn't that foolish. She wouldn't let the man take the money directly. She glanced around and coincidentally caught sight of Chen Liuhe, who was watching the scene unfold. She said, "Excuse me, can you help me take him to the hospital? He must undergo a full-body examination."
Chen Liuhe hadn't expected the situation to involve him. Without hesitation, he shook his head directly: "Sorry, I'm busy. Can't you see my business is booming? I earn several yuan per minute."
This earned him numerous scornful looks. "With your scrap collection, you call this booming?"
The beautiful car owner obviously hadn't expected Chen Liuhe to be so unsympathetic. This
made her even more angry, wondering if she had chosen the wrong day to go out. She stared at him and said angrily, "I'll compensate you!" As she spoke, she took out several red bills, about four or five.
Chen Liuhe changed his expression faster than flipping a book, immediately smiling and supporting his tricycle forward, "Alright, alright. It's a pleasure to help. Assisting others is a duty we should all fulfill."
Taking the money shamelessly, ignoring the disdainful gaze of the beautiful car owner, Chen Liuhe squatted down in front of the man who staged the accident, smiling and saying, "Now that you've got the money, why are you still lying down? Hurry up and get to work."
This sentence made the beautiful car owner furious. She questioned Chen Liuhe, "You knew he was staging the accident, why didn't you help me speak up for justice just now?"
Chen Liuhe was stunned, innocently saying, "I didn't know."
"You didn't know? Then what did you mean by saying the money is here, you can finish work?" The beautiful car owner stared at Chen Liuhe, her eyes almost spitting fire. "Are you in cahoots with him?"
Chen Liuhe was speechless. He hadn't expected this woman to have such keen ears.
"Ouch, it hurts so much. There's no justice or fairness anymore. I hit someone, and now he's trying to turn the tables. Who was trying to extort you? My leg is really broken." The man who staged the accident wailed, helping Chen Liuhe dispel the awkwardness.
Chen Liuhe nodded quickly, grabbed his seemingly swollen but actually intact right leg, pinched it with two fingers, not applying much force. There was only a very slight cracking sound, followed by the man shaking all over, screaming like a pig, rolling on the ground, his cold sweat coming out.
Now, he had really broken his bone, not from being hit, but from being pinched by Chen Liuhe.
Although Chen Liuhe didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, he was very disgusted with people who were even more unscrupulous than him. If you wanted to make easy money at someone else's expense, you had to pay some price, right? Everything must be done professionally, including acting.
"See, he really didn't lie to you. His leg is really broken." Chen Liuhe said to the beautiful car owner.
The beautiful car owner didn't know what had happened, but the painful expression of the man who staged the accident was quite frightening. She didn't want to stay here any longer. She glared at Chen Liuhe fiercely before getting into her car. Before leaving, she glanced at Chen Liuhe's tricycle and said, "I'll remember you. You wait for me." Then she drove away.
In her mind, Chen Liuhe was already associated with the words "not a good person."
"Alright, everyone's gone. Stop pretending. Take this ten thousand yuan and take a taxi to the hospital yourself. After you fix your leg, you'll probably have a few thousand yuan left to buy some nutritional supplements." Chen Liuhe said casually.
The man who staged the accident was almost fainting from the pain, trembling and shaking, his speech quivering, fiercely staring at Chen Liuhe, "Kid, what kind of person are you? Do you know where you stand?" Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"
Chen Liuhe leisurely took out the three five-one packs of Red Plum from his pocket, lit one, and said, "I know there are three of your accomplices among the onlookers. What are you trying to do? I can handle all of you, but I'd like to remind you, I can break your legs, and I can break theirs too."
After a pause, Chen Liuhe smiled and said, "I advise you to stop now. If this matter escalates, it won't do you any good. Besides, quickly let your friends take you to the hospital for bone-setting. If you delay, I can't guarantee there won't be any sequelae."
With that, Chen Liuhe flicked the cigarette ash and left in style on his unique and distinctive tricycle.
Just as he was leaving, three young men in the crowd gathered around the man who staged the accident. "Brother, are we just going to let it go like this? Shall we follow him and find a place where no one is around to settle the score?"
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and take me to the hospital. We'll settle this another day." The man who staged the accident wailed.
