At this point, not only were Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge disgusted by the truck driver, but even among the large crowd gathered around, some people could no longer stand it.
"Hey, don't you think you're crossing the line? Are you seriously risking your life for a staged accident? It's clear you dozed off while driving. If it weren't for this gentleman's quick reflexes, you'd be paying until you're bankrupt!"
The speaker was a passerby who had witnessed the entire incident, a young man looking around eighteen or nineteen, dressed in casual attire.
The truck driver's face twitched a little, and recalling the situation, he felt somewhat nervous. However, since he had already decided to shamelessly deny everything, he naturally wouldn't back down now. He glared and shouted angrily, "None of your damn business! Shit! Are you also in on this with these two?"
The young man snorted through his nose, "Screw you, watch your mouth! Do you really think all of us are blind? Just now..."
After cursing, he described in detail what he just saw.
When he started, the young man spoke with anger, but as he continued, his expression became somewhat excited, and unconsciously he spoke with a tone of admiration for Chu Ge.
Hearing his account, everyone was stunned, but most still remained skeptical, thinking it was absurd.
To have merely evaded by luck to beneath the truck would be believable, but grabbing someone and jumping onto the roof of another vehicle, then swinging to the roadside using the mirror of a bus, wasn't he just joking?
Not only did the surrounding people find it unbelievable, even Qin Ruojing felt the same. Everything just happened too quickly; from the moment Chu Ge pushed her down, her mind was almost completely blank. By the time she came to her senses, she was already safely back on the roadside.
After listening to the bystander's account, Qin Ruojing finally realized what unbelievable actions Chu Ge had just performed and how much risk he had taken for her!
When the young man finished describing what he saw, the truck driver's face flushed red, and he said harshly, "What utter nonsense, do you even believe what you're saying?"
The young man looked disdainfully at the truck driver, "With so many people here, I don't believe I'm the only one who saw it. If you're not satisfied, let everyone judge whether you're responsible for this!"
After he spoke, he looked around, but unfortunately, he was indeed the only one who had seen it, and no one among the crowd responded to his challenge.
It seemed that this matter really couldn't be clarified.
At this moment, a white motorcycle came threading through the gaps between the cars, with a long-faced traffic policeman on it. Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, the truck driver looked over and couldn't help but feel a bit more confident, his expression showing a hint of smugness.
In his line of sight, the traffic policeman was his nephew, whom he had just called over. Naturally, his nephew would speak in his favor, and this matter would surely be settled.
"Make way, make way."
The long-faced traffic policeman stopped his motorcycle at the edge of the crowd, squeezed through with a frown, glanced at the truck driver, who was his uncle, and pretending not to know him, asked ceremoniously, "What's going on? Why is everyone blocking the way here?"
"Hello, officer, here's the situation: I was driving normally, and this woman suddenly rushed in front of my truck. Then this man pulled her away and started accusing me relentlessly. They must be part of a gang trying to scam me! You've got to stand up for me."
Before Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing could speak, the truck driver quickly spoke up, twisting the facts to his newly-made traffic cop nephew.
The long-faced traffic policeman had come precisely to solve his uncle's problem. After listening, he half-heartedly asked Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing a couple of questions and then perfunctorily looked at the scene.
Then, the long-faced traffic policeman furrowed his brows, turned to Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing, and said righteously, "The situation is already very clear. You two should stop thinking up any schemes. Considering this is your first offense, I'll give you a warning. Leave quickly."
When the long-faced traffic policeman first arrived, Chu Ge noticed the suspicious look exchanged between him and the truck driver. It was clear that there was something fishy between them.
Now, hearing what the long-faced traffic policeman said, Chu Ge narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "What if we don't leave?"
"What do you mean?" The long-faced traffic policeman furrowed his brows again, looking at Chu Ge with a noticeably unfriendly gaze.
Chu Ge glanced at the truck driver and said calmly, "What I mean is quite simple: I have a headache and a pain in my butt, and I just want to go to the hospital for a check-up, and have him cover the expense."
Upon hearing this, the truck driver snorted through his nose and looked at Chu Ge as if examining an idiot.
The long-faced traffic policeman furrowed his brows even tighter, looking very impatient as he stared at Chu Ge, "I warn you, it's best not to make trouble without cause. Staging collisions is illegal and disorderly conduct. If you don't leave, I'll have the police handle this."
Chu Ge laughed heartily, "No problem, did you bring a phone? Do you need me to lend you my phone to call the police? I'm eager to hear what other nonsense you can come up with."
The long-faced traffic cop was taken aback, not expecting Chu Ge to respond like that. In fact, his threat to call the police was merely a tactic to scare Chu Ge, hoping he would take the woman who was almost hit and leave quickly.
Yet, this guy in front of him wasn't scared at all? Could it be that he had something to rely on?
The long-faced traffic cop found himself in a dilemma, quickly reconsidering his previous thoughts. He dismissed the idea, reasoning that if Chu Ge really had something up his sleeve, he would have shown it by now instead of talking so much with him.
Thinking this, the long-faced traffic cop felt more at ease, snorted, and gave Chu Ge a cold look, "Fine, since you don't appreciate my kindness, you can wait to be arrested!"
Muttering something unpleasant under his breath, the long-faced traffic cop took out his phone, determined to see how long this guy could keep up his bravado!
At this moment, Qin Ruojing stood behind Chu Ge, though angry, she had no desire to speak. To her, this was a game of cat and mouse.
Of course, with Chu Ge being He Qing's cousin, he was the cat, and the conniving long-faced cop and the truck driver were the two clueless mice about to meet their end.
However, just as the long-faced cop, filled with rage, was about to dial, another police motorcycle arrived. A round-faced young traffic cop, also in his twenties, pushed through the crowd.
"Xiao Zhang, what's going on?"
Seeing his colleague arrive, the long-faced cop glanced at Chu Ge, who had his arms crossed, snorted, and said, "This kid is faking an accident."
The round-faced cop nodded and turned his gaze to Chu Ge. But just as he was about to routinely inquire about the situation, he suddenly got a clear look at Chu Ge's face.
In that instant, the round-faced cop's pupils contracted sharply, his heart pounded wildly, and his face twitched as if he saw a ghost. He opened his mouth but seemed unable to make a sound, like someone pinched his throat. He didn't even notice the small ticket book slipping from his hand with a plop.
The round-faced cop's reaction puzzled the onlookers. The long-faced cop, about to make his call, sensed this and hesitated, his finger hovering over the phone.
Not just the crowd was confused, even Chu Ge felt a bit puzzled, until it occurred to him humorously, could it be this cop was involved in the chase against him?
However, even if that were true, this young cop's reaction seemed a bit excessive, right?
In fact, Chu Ge's guess was spot on. On the day he sped on his skateboard to buy medicine for Hong Zude, this young round-faced traffic cop had indeed been part of the action. He was the one who instinctively blurted out "that's awesome" when Chu Ge soared over the barricade, earning a fierce glare from the traffic police captain Wang Zhi.
Moreover, Chu Ge's wild performance that day had made him the number one nightmare for all the traffic cops in Lidu City. Even though their superiors considered the incident a disgrace, the story spread among the cops like wildfire.
Because of that incident, an unwritten rule had emerged among the Lidu traffic cops: whenever encountering a traffic violation by Chu Ge, unless it involved a major accident, it was best to turn a blind eye. The wisest decision was to pretend not to see.
After all, most of the police department knew that behind Chu Ge stood the influential He Junming, Eldest Young Master He!
If they accidentally provoked him and he went off on another wild spree, the Lidu traffic police would be utterly humiliated.
At this moment, the young traffic cop felt like crying; had he known the presence of this big shot, even under threat of death, he wouldn't have come to join this fray.
Chu Ge faking an accident? What a joke!
But, now that things had reached this point, it was too late for regrets. He could only look at the long-faced cop as if he were an idiot, then salute Chu Ge with a "snap," forcing out a stiff smile, "Uh... Mr. Chu, could there be some misunderstanding in this matter?"
Seeing the young traffic cop treating Chu Ge with such fear and respect, the long-faced cop couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Had he accidentally kicked an iron plate?
Chu Ge was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID to see an unknown number.
Picking up the call, a somewhat familiar voice came through the receiver, "Hello, is this Comrade Chu Ge?"
Chu Ge responded, "Yes, who is this?"
