Xu Ke's eyes widened in anger. "I dare you to show the dashcam footage."

He knew he'd been set up. There were no surveillance cameras at this intersection, and there had been no witnesses. In the end, he would be the one to suffer the most, already injured. As for the dashcam, the other party had definitely turned it off long ago.

"Alright, there's no need to argue. What dashcam?" But Li Jun paid Xu Ke no heed. Instead, he provocatively kneaded Siao Jia's slim waist, a mocking gleam in his eyes. "You've said so much, isn't it all just about money? Fine, I'll give you some."

As Li Jun's hands kneaded her, Siao Jia leaned her entire body against him. The two of them looked down on Xu Ke from their superior position, their eyes brimming with triumph.

When Xu Ke saw that Siao Jia wasn't resisting in the slightest—in fact, she seemed to be enjoying it—his eyes blazed with fury.

「At that moment」

SMACK.

A crisp sound rang out as Li Jun pulled out a few red bills and slapped them across Xu Ke's face. "Is three hundred enough? You don't even make that much in a day, do you?"

A fiery sting spread across Xu Ke's cheeks.

Yang Qing exclaimed dramatically, "Young Master Li, that's five hundred! You gave him too much."

"The rest is his tip," Li Jun said with a booming laugh.

Siao Jia's voice was cloyingly sweet. "Young Master Li is so kind and generous, infinitely better than a scumbag like Xu Ke who stages accidents to extort people."

"Of course," Li Jun replied with a satisfied grin, his hand caressing Siao Jia's body in a show of dominance. Then, he leaned down and whispered to Xu Ke, "This is just the beginning. Just you wait. I'll show you what happens when you offend me."

"You dare kick me? I'll kill you!"

"Take good care of the money I gave you. Don't lose it... It could go toward your mortgage, though I doubt you can even get into your house anymore, hahaha."

Li Jun twisted the knife, cruelly grating on Xu Ke's nerves.

Xu Ke's eyes turned crimson. He desperately wanted to punch Li Jun. But this wasn't the hallway of Siao Jia's building, where there were no surveillance cameras and he could kick him without consequence. Now, under everyone's watchful eyes, striking him would mean falling right into Li Jun's next trap.

Li Jun deliberately leaned closer but found that Xu Ke didn't move an inch, only staring at him fixedly.

Li Jun clicked his tongue. "You've got a brain, Xu Ke. Good... Next time. Next time, I'll be sure to finish you."

At his words, Xu Ke clenched his jaw even tighter. The rage in his eyes seemed intense enough to burn Li Jun to ashes, but he had to hold back.

As long as I'm alive, there's still hope.

If he swung his fist in a moment of anger, the price would be too much for his parents, far away in Jiang City, to bear.

After his threat, Li Jun straightened up, a triumphant smile on his lips. "Alright, let's go. Xu Ke has already apologized to me, admitting he was wrong to stage the accident."

"At least he's self-aware," Siao Jia sneered, turning to get into the car.

Wong Teng spat disdainfully onto Xu Ke's toppled electric scooter. "Just stick to your deliveries. Don't go thinking you can get something for nothing."

Yang Qing wrapped her arm around Wong Teng's. "Darling, you're so compassionate, even bothering to educate a delusional, poor loser like Xu Ke."

"Indeed," Wong Teng said, raising his eyebrows.

The four of them turned and walked toward the Ferrari. Seeing this, the other onlookers cast disdainful glances at Xu Ke and also began to disperse.

Just then, Xu Ke gritted his teeth against the pain. "You hit someone. You can't leave."

Not throwing a punch didn't mean he would simply let Li Jun and the others walk away.

"Can't leave?" Li Jun paused and turned his head, looking at him with a playful expression. "Not enough money?"

"You're breaking the law," Xu Ke shouted angrily.

"Oh, really? You say I'm breaking the law?" Li Jun stepped in front of Xu Ke, his voice menacing. "Do you have evidence?"

「Just then」

"What's going on? Who's breaking the law?"

Two traffic officers pushed through the crowd. They saw the bloodied Xu Ke, then looked at the Ferrari, and their expressions hardened as they turned to Li Jun. "Are you the owner of this car?"

"I am," Li Jun nodded. He could handle any situation. He exchanged a look with Wong Teng, who understood immediately, a smug smile curling his lips.

"Officer, it was like this." Siao Jia, normally timid, suddenly grew anxious on Li Jun's behalf. Her expression changed as she hurriedly pointed at Xu Ke, beginning to twist the truth. "He was driving illegally on the sidewalk, and Young Master Li couldn't avoid him in time! That's how the accident happened. We can all testify."

"Yes, yes, that's right," Yang Qing chimed in hastily.

Wong Teng stepped forward. "Officer, cut us some slack. This is the Li Family's young master."

"Why not just check the dashcam?" one of the officers said with a frown, glancing at Wong Teng. "I don't care whose young master he is. Show me the footage." He wasn't about to be fooled by a few words like the rest of the crowd.

"This…" Siao Jia's expression faltered, and she looked at Li Jun.

Could there be trouble?!

But Li Jun's expression remained unchanged.

The dashcam was turned off long ago!

The two officers immediately walked over to the Ferrari. After a moment of checking, their expressions darkened. Indeed, they found nothing.

"Sorry about that, Officer. Our car has some issues, so the dashcam wouldn't turn on," Li Jun said with a grin.

Their faces filled with smug satisfaction. Wong Teng and Yang Qing recovered their composure and even shot a provocative glance at Xu Ke.

Xu Ke clenched his teeth.

He knew it! They had turned it off long ago!

"How about this," one of the officers said after exchanging a look with his partner. He glanced at Xu Ke on the ground, frowning. "There's no evidence now, but you did hit him, and he's this badly injured. You should at least compensate him for the medical bills."

At this, Li Jun replied smugly, "No problem."

Seeing this, Yang Qing put on an air of deep grievance. "Poor Young Master Li. He runs into someone recklessly crossing the road and still has to pay. So tragic."

At her words, the surrounding crowd began to look at Xu Ke with hostility. Not only had this group suffered an unexpected misfortune, but now they had to pay for it... How tragic.

Anger burned even hotter in Xu Ke's eyes. But with no evidence, saying anything more would just be an act of futile rage.

"Alright," the two officers said to each other. They shook their heads and left.

Li Jun's mouth curved into a mocking sneer. "So, how should I compensate you? Wong Teng, go get the cash from the car."

"Seeing as you only hurt your leg, is fifty thousand enough?" He had brought the cash with him intentionally, for the sole purpose of humiliating Xu Ke in public.
