Deaths in Cent

第6話 “I’ll make sure you regret it!”

“What? Compensation of 240,000 yuan?!”

The short and stout woman sitting opposite Qin Yu screamed, “My father was paralyzed by his pet! Only 240,000 yuan?”

“I disagree, I absolutely disagree!”

“I disagree too!”

Yang Jianguo rubbed his temples, “Quiet. We are here for you to negotiate. This doesn’t mean that the compensation is fixed at 240,000 yuan.”

The short and stout woman slapped the table and snorted coldly, “The doctor said the treatment costs are 1,000,000 yuan. Then there are the nutritional expenses, care fees, lost wages, travel expenses, emotional damages… Everything added up is 1,000,000 yuan, totaling 2,000,000 yuan. We won’t accept anything less than that.”

“Yes, 2,000,000 yuan, not a cent less,” the mustached man sitting beside the stout woman echoed loudly, staring greedily at Qin Yu.

“Isn’t your father unemployed? Where do the lost wages come from?” Yan Zisu couldn't help but interject.

“I don’t care. No less than 2,000,000 yuan, otherwise he’ll be going to jail.”

The stout woman glared viciously at Qin Yu, looking like a venomous snake that had caught its prey and wanted to swallow him whole.

Qin Yu recognized this shrew; she lived in the same building and the mustached man was her husband. She was notorious in the Yushuiyuan community for being unreasonable and difficult to deal with. Once she got hold of someone, they wouldn't get away without paying a hefty price.

“Qin Yu, do you have anything to say?”

Yan Zisu’s eyes showed some sympathy.

“I’ve already said, I don’t own a pet!”

Qin Yu was speechless. Why was he still entangled in such trivial matters in a world on the brink of apocalypse? All he wanted now was to return home and eat the energy fruits to enhance his abilities, practice combat skills, and become more self-sufficient in this dangerous world.

“Damn, you don’t want to pay, do you?!”

“Your pet paralyzed my father and now you say you don’t own a pet! Are you even human?”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with brutality, “Watch your mouth.”

“Fuck you, you dog! Aren’t you just a supermarket employee? Acting all high and mighty!”

“If you have the guts, fork out 2,000,000 yuan and I won’t say another word.”

“If you can’t, then shut up and listen…”

“What? Want to hit me? Come on, hit me if you’re a man!”

The stout woman brought her face close to his, “Hit me! If you’re a man, hit me! You coward!”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu’s eyes grew cold. The temperature in the mediation room dropped several degrees in an instant.

Yang Jianguo’s goosebumps rose, and he looked at Qin Yu in surprise. This kid had killing intent!

Yang Jianguo was about to retire this year, having handled thousands of criminal cases. He had only seen this kind of gaze and cold killing intent in extremely dangerous murderers.

To him, Qin Yu now seemed even more terrifying and cruel than those murderers.

“Sit down!”

Yang Jianguo’s eyes showed a hint of fear as he slapped the table and yelled at the stout woman.

“What, you’re siding with this criminal too?”

The stout woman, used to being aggressive, didn’t even put Yang Jianguo in her eyes, pointing her finger at his nose, “Let me tell you, I’m not afraid of you. If you dare to protect this criminal, I will complain about you!”

Yang Jianguo’s face turned grim. He had intended to save this shrew, but instead, she pointed her finger at him and cursed. “Do you want mediation or not? If not, you can leave now and go straight to court.”

Qin Yu stood up, “If I refuse mediation, can I leave now?”

“Fine!”

“You two are ganging up to bully me, huh? Just wait, I’ll make sure you suffer!”

“You’re close to retirement, right? Dream on if you think you’ll retire peacefully!”

“I’ll make sure you regret it!”

The stout woman screamed, as if Qin Yu and Yang Jianguo had robbed her of 2,000,000 yuan.

Qin Yu gave the stout woman and the mustached man a cold look, then turned and walked out of the room without hesitation.

“Don’t go, you coward! If you leave, I’ll make your life miserable…”

The stout woman’s screams echoed behind him.

Qin Yu couldn’t care less about the shrew. It was already 19:57 when he walked out of the law enforcement bureau, and red fog was drifting outside.

The streetlights were dim, visibility was low, and there were hardly any people on the streets, let alone rental cars.

In the dark, rustling sounds were heard, eerie and creepy…

“I need to get back quickly.”

Feeling the dangerous atmosphere, Qin Yu’s expression changed slightly. He took out his phone to use the navigation app and quickly walked home.

“Qin Yu, wait~”

Just then, Yan Zisu ran out after him.

“What is it?” “Qin Yu, are you sure you don’t own a pet?”

Qin Yu grew impatient, “I said I don’t own one. Check the surveillance cameras in the community if you don’t believe me.”

Yan Zisu took out her phone and showed two videos.

In the first video, a white cat dashed past an old man who was walking, tripping him. The old man fell straight onto the curb, his spine making a noticeable cracking sound.

In the second video, a young man in a River Horse Supermarket uniform was seen happily feeding the white cat. After eating, the cat affectionately rubbed against the young man’s leg, and the young man happily petted the cat’s head.

After seeing the two videos, Qin Yu finally understood why he was summoned to the law enforcement bureau.

The old man in the first video was the shrew’s father, and the white cat was Little White. The second video was of him feeding Little White three months ago.

“That white cat is a stray, right?”

Before Qin Yu could respond, Yan Zisu’s eyes showed a hint of sympathy.

Qin Yu was taken aback, “Yes, Little White is a stray. I fed it four or five times three months ago and then stopped.”

“If you know it’s a stray, why call me to the law enforcement bureau?”

“Because you fed it before.”

“Because I fed it before?” Qin Yu’s eyes showed confusion, “What do you mean?”

“Because you fed this stray cat before, when it knocked over the old man and caused his paralysis, you also bear responsibility.”

“If you don’t accept mediation, the old man’s family will sue you with these two videos, and you’ll definitely lose.”

Yan Zisu’s eyes were complicated, her pure and beautiful face darkened slightly.

Boom! Qin Yu’s mind went blank.

He didn’t know how long it took before his eyes showed immense disgust and…

Revulsion.
