Chapter 37

"You're trying to pull an accident scam on us? Who the hell do you think you are?"

Gu Xiujin, who was crouching nearby and had taken several solid blows from their clubs: ?

Seriously, man, are you guys sick in the head? Exposing your own accident scam?

[Oh my! Oh my, they exposed themselves! Jiang Zhuxin should know what's going on now, right? If she still falls for the male lead after this, she deserves to be made into a human-skin drum.

[This thug? Tsk, tsk, tsk. And he calls himself Daddy? Someone else is your daddy, isn't he? All that money you work so hard scamming people out of goes straight to your wife to support another man. Even the kid isn't his, hahahahaha! Man, you really are doing miserably for a gangster.] Song Shiwei crouched on the ground, calmly enjoying the gossip.

Jiang Zhuxin, who had just gotten out of the car, froze. Paid to put on an act???

The smug-looking gang leader froze too. What the hell?

[Holy crap, his wife is walking across the street right now with her arm linked through Old Wang from next door's.] Song Shiwei continued enjoying the gossip.

The gang leader turned his head in horror, only to find no sign of his wife. What the hell was all this nonsense!

He turned back furiously, but the next second, he spotted his wife on the road at the other end. Old Wang from next door stood beside her, their fingers interlaced. Disregarding the looks from passersby, they even shared a French kiss.

[Oh-ho! Caught cheating in the act! All that blood-and-sweat money he earned from accident scams turned out to be for someone else. He works himself like a grandson every day, only to find out someone else is his daddy.]

"Zhao Meijuan! I work my ass off pulling accident scams to support this family, and you're keeping another man behind my back!" the thug roared, striding rapidly toward the other end of the road.

"I scam people on this road every day to put food on the table, and you're cheating on me! I'll beat you to death!" The boss rolled up his sleeves, pulled the two apart, and delivered a resounding slap to each of their faces. Once he recovered his wits, he gave his wife several more hard slaps.

Both of them were stunned. Zhao Meijuan clutched her face, a trace of fear in her aggrieved eyes. "How was I supposed to know you'd switched roads for your scams today? You didn't even tell me! Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Song Shiwei was practically dying of laughter. [Man, just forgive her. Who told you to break your usual scamming routine today? Just put up with it. It's all your fault.]

The gang leader was dumbfounded. How had this become his fault? He was calling the police!!

"Just you wait! I'm calling the police right now to arrest you adulterous bastard and whore!" Furious, he whipped out his phone and spoke with indignation written all over his face.

"No need to call. We're already here." A police officer's voice sounded behind him, giving him a fright.

"Officer, my wife is cheating on me! Hurry up and arrest them!"

Song Shiwei nearly laughed aloud. [Unfortunately, Mr. Police Officer is here to arrest you, Mr. Accident Scammer.]

Xiao Rong nearly split his mouth grinning. Miss Song had come to boost his performance figures again!

This accident-scamming gang had already turned scamming into a trend along this road. They received no fewer than dozens of calls reporting them every day.

Yet the gang acted without fear, specifically targeting young women's cars. The young women were timid to begin with and paid them off every time. On the rare occasion they ran into one or two stubborn ones who called the police, they fled faster than rabbits whenever they saw the officers arrive.

They also used all sorts of threats and intimidation to force the young women, in their extreme panic, into actually making a move to hit someone with their cars.

Then they would take the opportunity to lie down beneath the wheels. At that point, even the traffic police could do nothing when they arrived, and the drivers could only pay up and swallow the loss. The police simply had no way to deal with these shameless thugs.

They had long hated this gang so much their teeth ached, dreaming every day of someone who could put them in their place.

They never expected that brave soul to appear today-and not just appear, but bring a whole string of juicy gossip along.

She had even made this bastard expose himself right in front of the police. Now they finally had something on this bunch of bastards.

Miss Song had actually put herself in danger and fought magic with magic, keeping every last one of them from escaping today and preventing the young woman in the car from doing anything drastic.

Even more impressively, someone had been investigating and gathering evidence nearby. After this whole sequence of moves, the criminal gang could no longer escape. They would have to spend at least a few days in a cell, and if anyone else came forward to report them, they could absolutely be charged with fraud.

[Congratulations, congratulations! You've landed a secure, state-provided iron rice bowl for anywhere from three to ten years.]

"Mr. Police Officer, they tried to pull an accident scam on my sister-in-law! They admitted it themselves, and we have evidence. Hurry up and arrest them." Song Shiwei pointed at the group, looking utterly vulnerable.

Jiang Zhuxin finally understood. It seemed she could hear her sister-in-law's thoughts.

She had even followed those thoughts to feast on a huge, juicy piece of gossip.

She also instantly understood what Song Shiwei had meant about her eagerly offering up her head, waiting for the male lead to play the hero and save the beauty, and being a woman who threw herself at him.

She fell for Gu Xiujin at first sight, secretly gave him her heart, became deeply infatuated with him, and threw herself at him in every possible way, only to end up sold on the dark web and made into a human-face drum?

Jiang Zhuxin's fingers involuntarily tightened. She instantly felt as though she had fucked a dog. Sometimes she really did want to kill someone!

Who had she ever wronged? Why did she deserve such a miserable end?

Officer Xiao Rong took a pair of silver handcuffs from his pocket. "Zhu Tao, you are suspected of extortion on this road. We will now place you under arrest in accordance with the law."

Song Yurou climbed out of the car then, her little face brimming with righteousness. "Sis, how could you do something like this? You're pulling an accident scam. You should apologize to them."

Song Shiwei: [Lady, if you're sick, get treatment. Don't act crazy here.]

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang held on to each other, nearly dying of laughter. Jiang Ye's entire worldview had been upended too.

They were supposed to apologize to criminals?!

For a moment, the two groups remained at an impasse, and time itself seemed to have stopped. Song Shiwei frowned. Were the male and female leads' halos really this powerful?

She honestly wanted to know: would she die if she didn't apologize?
