《Return of the Soldier King》Chapter 44 Blackmail
Advertisement
There were six people in the group; two men and four women, accompanied by a nurse. The speaker was a fat woman.
The nurse interjected, "I don't know whether he is the hit-and-run driver or not," before hurrying away to attend to other duties.
The fat woman glared viciously at Ye Fei and shouted, "If he isn't hit-and-run driver, why did he call an ambulance? Why did he take the victims to the hospital? It’s gotta be him!"
"Yeah, I bet it’s him! He looks like a creep!" another woman shouted.
"You hurt my husband, I’ll kill you!" The fat woman screeched and scratched at Ye Fei with her long nails.
Ye Fei was stunned. He didn’t understand these people's logic at all. If he was a hit-and-run driver, why would he call an ambulance and accompany the victims to the hospital? How was it a hit-and-run if he didn’t flee the scene? Besides, he wasn’t even driving!
"Lady, I didn't hit these two people," he said sincerely.
"Then who did? Why did you take them to the hospital if you didn't hit them? You even paid the deposit and gave your ID as a collateral," the fat woman shouted, pulling at Ye Fei’s clothes so he couldn’t run away.
Ye Fei suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Lady, my car is a BMW and it is still in the parking lot. The car that hit these two was a Land Rover, and it’s gone."
"A BMW!" The group exchanged greedy looks amongst themselves. They all knew that anyone who drove a BMW must be loaded. They were going to seize the opportunity to blackmail Ye Fei.
"Rich bastards like you never care about common people’s lives!" The fat woman shouted loudly, as if she had picked up on Ye Fei’s weakness.

The nurse who woke up Ye Fei came up from behind him and whispered, "Calm down, please! Why are you harassing this Good Samaritan?"
The fat woman glared at the nurse. "Oh, you have a lot to say about it, do you? Were you there when it happened? Did you see how it all went down?"
"I..." The nurse was dumbstruck for a moment. She really wasn’t there when it happened. Now she could only stand there with an embarrassed expression.
However, the group was apparently not ready to let her go yet. A middle-aged man coldly said, "If you weren’t there, why are you taking his side? When I just walked in, I saw you two being intimate. You’re a couple!"
"No! No, I have nothing to do with him! I don't know him at all!" The nurse waved her hands defensively.
"You don't know him? Yeah, right!" another middle-aged man snarled, stepping forward to shove Ye Fei.
A thin woman joined the fray as well. The nurse tried to appease her, but the woman tried to scratch the nurse's face with her nails in return.
The nurse jumped back with a frightened yelp. Fortunately, Ye Fei stretched out his hand in front of her, catching the thin woman’s nails on his forearm.
At the same time, Ye Fei gripped the middle-aged man’s wrist, a knowing grin on his face. He understood that these people were simply not concerned about facts or logic. They only wanted to blackmail him for some money.
"Well, if you’re so sure I ran them over, let’s call the police and let them deal with me."
Ye Fei had a lot of things to take care of. He didn't have time to talk to these buffoons.
"OK, let’s call the police. We are not afraid of the police!" the fat woman arrogantly exclaimed.

As soon as she said that, three policemen walked through the door. "What’s going on here?"
The cops came over after receiving a report about a hit-and-run, only to stumble upon this heated altercation in the hallway.
The blackmailers immediately surrounded the three policemen.
"Officer, this man ran over my husband in his car and he’s denying it!"
"My son is still unconscious. I only have one son; if he dies, I will have nothing left to live for! You have to punish this bastard and throw him in jail!"
The leader was one Lieutenant Qin Peng. Seeing all this commotion, an angry vein began throbbing on his forehead. "Shut up!" he commanded. “Tell me what happened - one at a time.”
Then, Qin Peng pointed to Ye Fei ad said to another policeman, "Xiao Xie, you question this guy in the meantime."
The young policeman called Xiao Xie nodded and beckoned Ye Fei over to an empty doctor's office.
Xiao Xie had a good attitude. He took out a cigarette case and asked Ye Fei, “Smoke?"
Ye Fei shook his head. "Smoking inside the hospital is prohibited."
"All right," Xiao Xie smiled and put the cigarette case back. "So, what is going on here?"
Ye Fei gave him a quick and concise rundown of what happened. Naturally, he made no mention of the Burning Bar. That was not for the traffic police to deal with.
It was really simple. Xue Bing had committed a hit-and-run, and Ye Fei accompanied the injured men to the hospital. Now, the relatives of the victims were trying to blackmail him.
"I’ve heard enough. You can go." Xiao Xie stood up.
"That's it? You believe me?" Ye Fei was a little skeptical.
"The police are not unreasonable. We saw the security camera footage of the accident before we got here. You clearly had nothing to do with it. You're a hero. There are not many people like you in our society. I admire you, really."
Xiao Xie walked over and patted Ye Fei's shoulder, "Don’t get too upset about this. We deal with these kinds of ‘relatives’ all too often."

Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...
