Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

The old lady held on tightly to the girl.

At this moment, a Volkswagen car drove up.

”Mom, Mom... what’s going on?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

He finally realized that this was essentially a scam gang.

Poor little girl’s good intentions were exploited by this group of scammers.

In society, there are elderly people who, for personal gain, use false accidents to extort money.

Now, when elderly people fall, no one dares to help them.

Such people must be dealt with properly.

The little girl never dreamed that her good deed to help the elderly would end up getting her falsely accused.

Although she had seen such news before, she didn’t expect it to happen to her.

”No, it wasn’t me. I saw the old lady fall and wanted to help her up.”

”Little girl, it was clearly you who hit me. My leg seems broken.”

Two young people also approached angrily, saying, ”Little girl, look at how you hit my mom. What are you going to do about it?”

Soon, many people gathered around.

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

”This old lady is surely a scammer.”

”I just saw her fall by herself.”

”Don’t say such things recklessly and cause trouble for yourself.”

...

The little girl was so wronged that she started crying.

”It wasn’t me, really, it wasn’t me.”

...

”If it wasn’t you, then why did you help my mom?”

Listening to these ridiculous words, Ye Chen had an impulse to go over and slap them twice.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, ”I saw it. It was this girl who hit the elderly.”

”I saw it too.”

With these witnesses, the two young people and the old lady became even more aggressive.

”Everyone sees, right? This little girl hit the person and won’t admit it.”

At this point, many in the crowd who were initially doubtful started blaming the little girl.

”How can she do this? The young these days are so lacking in manners.”

”Exactly, wearing Modu University of Technology’s uniform too, hit someone and won’t confess.”

”The old lady seems pretty badly hit, compensation is definitely necessary.”

Listening to the chatter around her, the old lady and the two young people grew more and more complacent.

Just then, Ye Chen squeezed into the crowd.

He squatted down and touched the old lady’s leg.

The old lady quickly pulled her leg back and said, ”What are you trying to do?”

Ye Chen said, ”I’m here to sort this out.”

He asked the old lady, ”Are you sure this little girl really hit you?”

”Of course, I was walking, and this girl rode her bicycle right into me.”

Ye Chen nodded and said to the little girl, ”You don’t need to be afraid, I’m also from Modu University of Technology, if it’s your fault, your brother can help pay for it.”

”No, brother, it really wasn’t me,” the little girl said, feeling wronged.

Ye Chen sighed, ”Do you have any evidence to prove it wasn’t you who hit her?”

”I...” the girl was at a loss for words.

Indeed, she had seen the old lady fall and simply wanted to help her up; how could she have evidence?

”No evidence, then you can only compensate. By the way, how much do you want?” Ye Chen looked at the two young people.

One of the young people’s eyes lit up.

Earlier, they had seen Ye Chen get out of a luxurious SUV, so they knew he must have money.

”Well, my mother is quite old; you’d say after being hit like this, she’d be bedridden at least half a year. How about this, we’re not asking too much, just give us 20,000 yuan.”

”20,000 yuan?” The surrounding people shook their heads quietly.

This was clearly extortion.

The little girl said anxiously, ”Why should I pay if I didn’t hit her?”

Ye Chen patted the little girl’s shoulder and gave her a look.

”20,000 yuan is a bit too little,” Ye Chen stood up and said.

”Little?” The young man thought he had heard wrong.

Ye Chen said, ”Look, the old lady must be nearly seventy, the elderly are inherently frail, being hit like this must have been shocking, with hospital treatment and mental distress compensation, I feel it should be at least 2 million yuan.”

”Two... two million?” The two young people and the old lady were dumbfounded.

Ye Chen said, ”No worries, I’ll pay for the little girl. By the way, what’s your account number?”

The young man showed an expression of shock and then joy.

This time they really hit the jackpot.

With this windfall, they could relax and enjoy life for the next few years.

My goodness, it’s 2 million!

He quickly reported his account number.

Ye Chen took out his phone.

”Ding dong!”

million yuan was transferred.

Seeing the 2 million on the bank card, the young man was about to go crazy with happiness.

They really struck it rich this time.

”Young man, you’re straightforward; I love dealing with straightforward people like you,” the young man said, with a beaming smile.

Ye Chen’s lips curved slightly upward and he suddenly addressed the onlookers, ”Everyone, do you know why many elderly people fall and we dare not help them? It’s because there are people like this, for personal gain, exploiting the kindness of good people. We all will grow old someday, and there may come a time when we fall on the road, if no one dares to help, how would you feel?”

The audience empathized and began whispering among themselves.

”I actually saw the old lady fall by herself, the girl was just passing by and wanted to help.”

”Exactly, I saw it too, and she’s even paying compensation.”

...

Despite the murmuring, no one dared stand up.

The two young people and the old lady turned pale upon hearing Ye Chen’s words and wanted to leave.

But Ye Chen blocked them.

Ye Chen continued, ”Here is a fraud ring, I need everyone to provide evidence to help me catch these people, there’s a reward of 10,000 for video evidence, and 10,000 for capturing these fraudsters.”

Upon hearing about the reward, someone immediately shouted, ”I recorded with my phone, it wasn’t the girl who hit the old lady.”

”I recorded it too.”

...

These people are despicable, catch them!

The two young people, the old lady, and two others among the crowd decided to run when they saw the situation wasn’t in their favor.

But where could they run?

With Ye Chen’s reward, the spectators sprang into action like descending tigers, and quickly caught all five fraudsters.

Ye Chen directly called Zhou Susu.

After a short while, Zhou Susu came with the police.

Some of the onlookers provided testimonies, while others provided video materials.

Zhou Susu said coldly, ”Such fraudulent behavior seriously disrupts public security and has severe social impacts, and for defrauding 2 million yuan, the amount is huge, we will surely punish them severely.”

Only then did the young man understand why Ye Chen had straightforwardly transferred 2 million yuan—turns out it was a trap!

As for the 2 million yuan, it was naturally returned to Ye Chen’s account.

Ye Chen rewarded more than 500,000 yuan to the onlookers.

This amount was nothing for Ye Chen; it was all about getting justice for the girl.

Ye Chen was about to leave when the little girl called him.

”Brother, thank you.”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”What’s there to thank? It’s what I should do, and besides, I’m also a graduate of Modu University of Technology, so I guess you could consider me your senior.”

”Ah, you’re also from Modu University of Technology. Today is our school’s 60th anniversary celebration. Why didn’t you come back?”

”Oh, I didn’t receive any notification.”

Ye Chen knew that events like a school anniversary celebration invite those who are affluent and influential with a certain status in society.

As a mere DiDi driver alumnus, who would remember him? Not receiving an invitation was completely normal.

”Senior, come back to school for a visit, I’ll take you to eat the most authentic fried cold noodles at our school.”

”Okay!” Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

Modu University of Technology, after all, is his alma mater, where he spent his youth; Ye Chen indeed wanted to go back and take a look.
