By the end of it, police cars had arrived outside the village and taken everyone away.
Lin Yuan also went to the police station to give a statement.
After he briefly described what had happened, his elementary school classmate did not deny it and admitted to smashing the car and scratching its paint.
Someone from the dealership also came to assess the damage, which amounted to several hundred thousand yuan.
Such an enormous sum was simply beyond the means of ordinary people.
What was more, his elementary school classmate had no intention of paying it back at all.
"You want me to pay? I don't have any money. At worst, just lock me up."

Lin Yuan frowned.
Making him admit his mistake would not be easy.

"Your grandmother is pitiful too. She's already over eighty, and her legs aren't very steady.
