Both sides call people
The landlord, however, sneered and replied, "I've already given you a cheap price. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to leave today without tens of thousands!"
Hearing tens of thousands, the Girl was instantly stunned, looking at the landlord in disbelief: "Tens of thousands? Are you robbing me?!"
Just as her voice fell, there was a commotion outside the door.
"Make way, who called the police!"
Everyone looked towards the door, and the few people at the entrance consciously made way.
Seeing the Police Comrade arrive, the landlord, without a word, immediately walked up and pointed at the Girl, saying, "Police Comrade, I am the landlord of this house, and she is the tenant. Now many parts of the house have been damaged by her. Isn't it reasonable for me to ask her for compensation?"
The young Police Officer smiled wryly as he glanced at the Girl, a hint of pity in his eyes, completely oblivious to Lin Yuan beside him.
This was not the first time he had come to this community.
Every time, it was a conflict between landlords and tenants.
Such matters were simply not within the jurisdiction of the police.
So, before, they would always try to be peacemakers, trying to minimize the conflict and let the tenant compensate a little.
Plus, everyone in this community was in cahoots. If the conflict escalated, it would be even more troublesome.
Seeing that the Police Comrade didn't speak, the landlord took out his small notebook again, which meticulously recorded every damaged spot and its price.
"Police Comrade, look, it's all clearly written here."
The Police Officer glanced at the prices listed, and his face couldn't help but twitch.
Even though he was mentally prepared, he still gasped, saying with difficulty, "You… isn't this a bit too much? It's normal for a house to have some wear and tear. If you charge for that, who would dare to rent your house in the future?"
The landlord's expression didn't change much upon hearing this, and he immediately explained, "Alright, I'll waive the minor wear and tear, but many places are clearly damaged, that's a fact, right? I'll charge her 8000, that should be acceptable."
"That's still too much," the Police Officer replied, his head aching.
"Not much, not much!!"
Just then, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke, "8000, alright, let's make it 8000. Can I scan to pay?"
Hearing this voice, the two Police Officers were instantly stunned, and involuntarily looked towards Lin Yuan.
The next second, their eyes nearly popped out.
Lin Yuan's appearance, others might not be clear, but their police station was too familiar with it; they could recognize him at a glance.
They never imagined that Lin Yuan would actually be there.
However, the landlord's face lit up, and he directly pulled out his phone: "Bank transfer or scan, either is fine."
Huang Jiao, who was beside him, was stunned, looking at Lin Yuan in confusion, her eyes filled with shock.
She couldn't understand, 8000 yuan! Why would he agree?
No matter how much she couldn't understand, the Police Officers also couldn't understand.
In their impression, Lin Yuan was not such a foolish person.
But they also couldn't speak up, only watching helplessly.
As a result, Lin Yuan really transferred 8000 yuan to the landlord, leaving them dumbfounded.
The netizens in the live stream also all expressed their incomprehension.
— [Is he crazy? 8000 yuan? He really transferred it? Any clear-eyed person can see this landlord is extorting him, he couldn't possibly not know that.]
— [I always feel like Lin Yuan is digging a pit for the landlord. He's cunning, definitely not such a foolish person. Just wait, there's definitely a good show coming up.]
— [This has already gone beyond the scope of extortion, it's pure blackmail. It's hard to imagine how many people these guys have scammed, but today they're finished, because they met Lin Yuan. They've kicked a titanium alloy steel plate!]
— [Terrifying, who would dare to rent this house in the future? Whoever rents it will be unlucky. Just the landlord's professional way of assessing damages is enough to scare people half to death.]
Just as Lin Yuan finished transferring the money, he then looked at the Police Comrade with a smile, saying aggrievedly, "Police Comrade, I am extremely scared now. I want to sue them for blackmail and demand that a professional come to assess the damages to see if these damages are really worth 8000 yuan!"
As soon as these words came out, the landlord was instantly stunned, his grinning mouth immediately closing.
The Police Officer was also stunned for a moment, then coughed a few times: "Cough cough~~ Your request is very reasonable. I will call the bureau now and have them send professionals over."
The landlord's heart sank upon hearing this, and he quickly reached out to stop them, saying with a forced smile, "Police Comrade, don't listen to his nonsense! You just saw it, he voluntarily gave the compensation. There's no such thing as blackmail."
"There isn't?" Lin Yuan interrupted directly: "Look at how many of you are blocking the door, restricting my personal freedom. I am truly very scared."
"Police Comrade, I'm so small and weak, I definitely can't beat them. If I don't pay today, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to leave this door."
The Police Officer looked at Lin Yuan, who was feigning misery, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
You're small and weak?
With one punch from you, even if they don't die, they'd lose a layer of skin, right?
Let alone just these few people blocking the door, even a dozen more probably wouldn't be enough for you to beat up.
Now you say you're extremely scared?
Only a ghost would believe that!
However, he didn't intend to expose him. After all, from any perspective, he was on Lin Yuan's side.
So, he went with the flow, nodded seriously, then directly pulled out his phone and made a call to the bureau.
At this, the landlord was completely dumbfounded.
The extortion was successful, but it turned into blackmail.
If this was confirmed, it wouldn't just be a matter of paying money, but a criminal case, and he would go to jail!
After extorting for so long, this was the first time he hit a titanium alloy steel plate, truly unprecedented.
Based on the current situation, they indeed posed a threat.
As for whether it was blackmail, with such minor damage and 8000 yuan, it was a no-brainer.
The most infuriating part was that Lin Yuan really gave him the money, which was equivalent to directly welding the door shut, with complete evidence.
In such a situation, he panicked.
But he wouldn't sit idly by. The reason he dared to do this was because he had some backing, otherwise he wouldn't be so lively until now.
He immediately glanced at the woman at the door and gave her a look.
The other party immediately understood and ran downstairs, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Everyone come out, someone in our village is being bullied, come help!!!"
After shouting a few times.
The entire community instantly erupted.
Whoosh ~ ~ A sound of going downstairs echoed.
In less than two minutes.
Dozens of people appeared downstairs, rushing over in a swarm.
It only took five minutes for the entire stairwell to be packed with people, and the area downstairs was completely surrounded.
One by one, they clamored about who was so arrogant.
"Who the hell is so bold as to dare bully our village? Don't they know our village is famous for its unity?"
"Where's the neighborhood committee? Hurry up and come help, don't let outsiders bully us."
"If this matter isn't resolved today, no one is leaving."
Listening to the commotion outside, Huang Jiao, a Xiao Guniang, was already scared out of her wits.
Even the two Police Officers' faces changed drastically, forcing themselves to remain calm.
Only Lin Yuan was completely nonchalant, sitting there with a smile, as if these people had nothing to do with him.
Seeing him still so calm and composed at this point, the landlord was instantly enraged.
He shouted fiercely, "You little brat, do you think calling the police will help? You say I'm blackmailing, so I'm blackmailing? I'd like to see how you leave here today!"
