Chapter 228: Chapter 186: A Bad Guy Who Loves Doing Good Deeds

"You definitely will! Good people are always rewarded."

After crossing the road, Sam Odyssey parted ways with the old man.

He continued on his way. ’Kongming Bookstore is eight hundred meters away. Lan Caihe and Lin Xiaoxiao are there.’

However, after he had gone about five hundred meters, he saw an old woman sprawled on the ground. Potatoes from her grocery basket were scattered everywhere. Plenty of people were passing by, but they all just went around her. Not one person went over to help.

’How uncivilized.’

Sam Odyssey frowned slightly, suppressing the urge to strike out and kill everyone around him as he stepped forward to help the old woman.

But unexpectedly, the moment he touched the old woman, she grabbed his sleeve in a death grip.

???

Before Sam Odyssey could say a word, the supposedly frail old woman, who was gripping him tightly, suddenly found the energy to wail, "Help! An old woman is being bullied! Help!"

"This foreigner pushed me down and was trying to run away!"

"Oh, the pain! I think my old bones are broken! Everyone, come and judge for yourselves! Can a foreigner just run wild in our country like this? Can he just bully people as he pleases?"

Aside from those who had already seen the old woman on the ground, a crowd of uninformed onlookers quickly gathered, pointing and muttering.

’A shakedown?’

Sam Odyssey let out a humorless laugh. He didn’t struggle or argue, but simply asked, "How much do you want?"

The old woman’s ears perked up. ’Ah, this one knows the drill!’

The corner of her mouth lifted in a slight smirk, but she kept up the performance. "I feel like my bones are broken. A full check-up at the hospital will cost at least 2,000, and with hospitalization and treatment on top of that, it won’t be any less than 10,000."

"It won’t cost that much."

Sam Odyssey shook his head. "Ma’am, you must not have pulled this scam in a few years, have you?"

???

’How do you know?’

The old woman froze, not quite understanding what he meant.

"The anti-corruption campaign in the medical field has been going on for years now. Hospital costs are much lower than they used to be."

"It won’t cost 10,000."

"Seven thousand, tops."

Sam Odyssey said.

He was a foreigner, how did he even know that?

The surrounding passersby were stunned, but they subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"Well..."

The old woman faltered, then said with a false air of magnanimity, "Seven thousand it is, then."

"No, no, no."

Sam Odyssey didn’t sound like a foreigner at all, having clearly lived in the country for a long time. "I don’t have that much cash. I only have five thousand on me."

"Fine, five thousand then."

The old woman conceded again.

"No, no, no."

"I still need money for food, a room, and a taxi."

"I can only give you two thousand."

Sam Odyssey said again.

Two thousand?

’Is he treating me like a beggar?’

"To the hospital, then!"

The old woman started throwing a tantrum again. "Otherwise, you’re not going anywhere."

"Let’s go."

"To the hospital."

"I’ve got nothing better to do anyway."

Sam Odyssey nodded, pulling the old woman along with him toward the hospital.

"You... you’re the most pathetic foreigner I’ve ever seen in our country."

"Fine, two thousand it is."

The old woman said, giving in helplessly.

"But I don’t want to give you two thousand."

Sam Odyssey shook his head.

The old woman asked, "How much are you willing to give me?"

Sam Odyssey replied, "Two hundred."

The old woman instantly exploded. "Two hundred? Who do you think you’re looking down on!"

"Then let’s call the police."

Sam Odyssey glanced around. There were no surveillance cameras—’She’s experienced,’ he thought. Then he casually pointed to a young person filming with their phone. "She was live-streaming back when you were still on the ground."

"It must have recorded everything that just happened."

"The police will find out as soon as they look into it."

"You... I..."

Hearing this, the old woman almost fainted with rage. She stammered tremulously, "Fine... two hundred it is."

Sam Odyssey smiled faintly. "I’ve changed my mind. I don’t even want to give you two hundred."

"Let go!"

"You..."

But the old woman wouldn’t let go.

CRACK.

With a casual exertion of force, Sam Odyssey twisted and broke the old woman’s arm. Then, amid the horrified gasps of the crowd and the woman’s shrill screams, he calmly walked away.

What he didn’t know was that the incident on the live stream had been captured by big data and locked onto by some website’s AI recognition system...

「Meanwhile.」

DING! DING!

Xia Yu received a message on her phone: "Intersection of Nanjiang Road and West River Street. Suspect broke the arm of an old woman attempting a shakedown."

VROOOM.

Her eyes lit up. She immediately started her vehicle, slammed her foot on the gas, and sped straight for the target area.
