Chapter 695: Chapter 734: No More Evidence

"Old man, please think about it, it really wasn’t me who hit you." Su Yiyi was still trying to appeal to the elderly man’s conscience, wiping her tears as she fell beside the bed, pleading with him.

The old man was almost eighty years old, and it was unclear whether he was confused or simply trying to extort Su Yiyi when he said, "You’re being too hard on the child. Look at how pitiful she is. It seems I’m not seriously hurt."

The man wearing the gold necklace immediately glared, "Dad, have you lost your mind? You’re so old, and being hit like this, how could you take it lightly? If you end up bedridden, won’t we have to take care of you? And don’t you know how expensive the hospital is nowadays? From last night until now, we’ve already spent over a thousand yuan. If we stay a few more days, who knows how much more it’ll cost? This girl hit someone, she should be responsible."

The old man suddenly fell silent, sighing deeply with his eyes closed.

Song Xiaoli knew Su Yiyi’s family didn’t have money. If this issue wasn’t resolved, a compensation would surely be demanded. Naturally, the person who could make decisions for Su Yiyi was her boyfriend Li Yifei. She quickly said, "Yiyi, call Li Yifei right away."

But Su Yiyi immediately shook her head, "No, don’t!"

Song Xiaoli insisted anxiously, "We can’t handle this ourselves, we have to get Li Yifei."

"No, no, I can deal with it myself," Su Yiyi hurriedly stopped Song Xiaoli. If it had been before, she would have called Li Yifei, but now that Li Yifei was married to Xu Yingying, and Xu Yingying had treated her well, she didn’t want to trouble Li Yifei or cause Xu Yingying to be angry with Li Yifei because of her.

Song Xiaoli was so anxious she stomped her feet, "Li Yifei is your boyfriend. If something happens to you, who else would you turn to but him? What are you doing?"

At that moment, Su Yiyi was being stubborn. Even if Xu Yingying knew about this matter, she wouldn’t blame her, but she didn’t want Li Yifei and Xu Yingying to know. She urged, "Anyway, you’re not allowed to contact him. I will handle this matter myself."

The man wearing the gold necklace snorted, "Girl, I don’t care who you call, but let me tell you, you won’t solve this without paying compensation. Do you know who I am? I’m Er Pi. Go ask around, there’s nothing I say that can’t be done. And my brother-in-law works at the Bureau of Commerce and Industry. We have clout in both the underworld and the overworld. If you’re thinking of skipping out on this, you won’t find a way out."

Right then, Su Yiyi suddenly remembered something. She exhaled and said, "Whether I hit the old man or not, since we can’t settle this clearly, we can report it to the police and let them handle it. The place where I helped the old man has a camera. Whether I hit him or not, the camera will provide clear evidence."

Song Xiaoli also spoke out excitedly, "Yes, there is a camera there. You say we hit the old man, then let the camera speak."

At that moment, Er Pi laughed slyly, "Alright, you two girls want to play it this way. Then let’s proceed with official procedures. If you settle this privately, our old man stays in the hospital for a couple of days, you pay a few tens of thousands, and that’s the end of it. If not, we’ll stay put, and we’ll see how much you end up spending in the end."

Su Yiyi stood tall and said, "What’s white is white, and what’s black is black. If it’s proven I hit someone, and you stay in the hospital for a lifetime, then I’ll be responsible. But if you’ve wrongly accused me, I’ll demand an apology from you."

Song Xiaoli’s own energy surged as well, huffing, "Not just an apology—we’ll also have you openly apologize to us in the newspaper and restore our reputation."

The man with the satchel frowned at this moment; he had arrived later and had heard from his nephew that his father-in-law was hit. Regardless of who it was, whoever caused an accident had to take responsibility. But now, these two young girls were so confident, suggesting there might be a problem with this situation.

The major concern was his nephew, Er Pi, who was generally up to no good, engaging in all sorts of scams. It would be in his character to falsely accuse someone. With the old father-in-law being old, relying on his son for support in his old age, he’d have no choice but to say these uncomfortable things. Moreover, given his age, it was possible that he often got confused and could have mistaken someone.

Just as he was considering clarifying things further before proceeding, Er Pi suddenly stood up with a whoosh and approached Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli aggressively, his intimidating demeanor causing them to retreat in fear.

"You two girls really won’t be convinced until you see the coffin. Fine, then you report the police right now. I’m telling you, if you report and it can’t be proven that you didn’t hit someone, you won’t get away without paying two hundred thousand. I won’t let this go," Er Pi declared.

Although Su Yiyi was a bit scared by Er Pi’s threats, having been with Li Yifei for a while, she was no longer as timid as before. She clenched her small fists and shouted, "Fine, if it can’t be proven, don’t say two hundred thousand—I’ll even give you three hundred thousand."

"The girl talks big. Well, go ahead and call the police," Er Pi said confidently.

Song Xiaoli immediately took out her phone and called the police. Meanwhile, Er Pi went out briefly and returned with a grin, looking like he had Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli completely at his mercy.

Both Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli felt uneasy at Er Pi’s demeanor, and the more Song Xiaoli thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Claiming she needed to use the toilet, she dashed out and called Li Yifei.

Shortly after Song Xiaoli returned, the police arrived. After asking about the situation, they said, "This matter should be handled by the traffic police department. However, I can still call to verify for you. If these two girls really didn’t hit anyone, there’s no need to file a case."

The police made the call right in front of everyone. After stating the specific location, the traffic police department relayed information back. But then the policeman frowned, and after hanging up the phone, he told Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli, "The camera at the location you’ve mentioned is broken, so it can’t be proven that you didn’t hit anyone. If you don’t settle this privately, you’ll have to file a case with the traffic police. However, it’s best if you find some witnesses, otherwise you can’t be cleared of suspicion."

Su Yiyi and Song Xiaoli were stunned. The timing was too coincidental; how could the camera be broken? Now, they had no evidence to prove they hadn’t hit the old man. Finding witnesses would be no easy task. "How is this possible... how is this possible..." Su Yiyi murmured to herself, utterly bewildered.
