Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1469 - 1443: Greed for Money

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, the daughter-in-law was stunned.

"But you just said you were going to transfer money to us, how did it become us extorting you?"

She originally thought it would be easy to get money this way.

She was even planning to have the Two People playact again after the old lady recovered.

But she didn’t expect Ye Chen would call a lawyer to sue them.

The daughter-in-law certainly knew it was all fake, she had already seen the hesitation on her mother-in-law’s face earlier.

People often think the less trouble the better.

Seeing Ye Chen was so young, she figured they’d squeeze a bit out of him and nothing would happen.

Now it seemed the situation had really escalated.

The daughter-in-law was thinking about how to handle this; she had seen real money.

Of course she didn’t want to give it back.

The old lady hurriedly tugged at the daughter-in-law and frowned.

"Let’s return the money to them."

She thought as long as they returned the money, it would be over.

Since Ye Chen was willing to take her to the hospital where no one else would care,

it proved this young man was kind-hearted.

The old lady also felt very guilty. If it weren’t for her daughter-in-law threatening her with her grandson, she wouldn’t have done such a conscience-shaking thing.

"Mom, he hit someone, he should pay up. Why should we return it?"

The daughter-in-law said, steadying her nerves.

She had already thought even if a lawyer came, so what?

As long as the family stuck to their story, saying it was this young man in front of them who hit the lady.

Let’s see what the lawyer can do.

The old lady wanted to beg Ye Chen for mercy, seeing that the daughter-in-law wouldn’t relent.

But she was stopped by the daughter-in-law.

She couldn’t allow anyone to ruin her good plan.

Initially, Ye Chen didn’t really plan to sue this shameless woman.

Just wanted to scare her a bit.

If she was willing to return the money, Ye Chen would let it go.

But seeing how stubborn this woman was,

Ye Chen decided he must teach her a good lesson.

He knew this woman’s nature; after tasting the sweetness once, she’d definitely want a second try.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit walked into the ward to Ye Chen.

"Mr. Ye, any instructions?"

"Lawyer Zhang, here’s the situation, the old lady was hit by another driver who fled the scene.

I kindly brought her to the hospital, and her daughter-in-law accused me of hitting her, extorting me for a million."

Lawyer Zhang frowned upon hearing this.

"Mr. Ye, you’re too kind-hearted, that’s why you encounter such things. Leave this matter to me, I’ll handle it satisfactorily."

"Alright, I’ll trouble you then, I’ll be going now."

Ye Chen nodded and said.

"Don’t go, this matter isn’t over."

The daughter-in-law grabbed Ye Chen’s hand and said.

"What, you’ve received a million in your account, what more do you want?"

Ye Chen shook off her hand and said.

"Yes, I got the money, but what’s this stranger doing here, my mother needs peace to recover."

The daughter-in-law showed an unhappy expression.

"He’s my lawyer, here to talk to you about the extortion case."

Ye Chen said with a faint smile.

"What evidence do you have that I extorted you? It’s obvious you hit someone."

The daughter-in-law continued to argue stubbornly.

"Lawyer Zhang, why don’t you explain to this lady how we intend to prove it."

Ye Chen was speechless with this woman, she was desperate for the money.

Lawyer Zhang understood Ye Chen’s meaning, he gently coughed.

"Madam, as Mr. Ye’s representing lawyer, I will prove that another person was the hit-and-run driver through surveillance footage, and that my client is innocent."

"We will also accuse you of extortion per Mr. Ye’s wishes. For such significant amounts, you could face over 10 years in prison."

Hearing this from the lawyer, the daughter-in-law panicked, her legs even went a bit weak.

She knew there were surveillance cameras everywhere, and any footage would expose everything.

Her son was about to take his college entrance exams, this was a crucial moment.

If she was sentenced for this, it would definitely affect her son’s future.

Thinking it over, this was really like trying to gain an advantage only to end up worse off.

"Young man, I’m sorry, I was obsessed. I’ll return the money right away, please don’t sue me."

The daughter-in-law cried and pleaded.

"Weren’t you quite fond of that money? A million means nothing to me; you don’t need to return it, and I won’t accept your apology."

"I’m busy, I’ve hired a lawyer, discuss any issues with him."

Ye Chen didn’t want to deal with this woman at all.

"Mom, mom, please help me beg this young man, I really know I was wrong."

The daughter-in-law knew Ye Chen wouldn’t forgive her, she could only ask the old lady for help.

"Ah, I don’t have the face to ask him now."

The old lady said helplessly, shaking her head.

In fact, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but Ye Chen had confirmed this matter with her repeatedly earlier.

Due to the daughter-in-law’s threats, she could only falsely accuse Ye Chen against her conscience.

Where did she have the face to ask Ye Chen now, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

Ye Chen was really tired of staying here, he turned around and left.

The corridors echoed with the woman’s wailing.

Now the daughter-in-law truly regretted it so much it hurt.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she definitely wouldn’t have risked her son’s future just for money.

The million was gone, and her son’s college entrance exams were affected.

Ye Chen only wanted to punish the other party, he hadn’t thought of anything beyond that.

If others encountered such a matter, they’d probably feel depressed.

But Ye Chen didn’t mind.

He always believed that heaven’s watching over man’s deeds.

If he met someone in need next time, Ye Chen would make the same choice again.

Even if it meant being falsely accused as he was now, it wouldn’t matter.

Who was Ye Chen? He was influential and wealthy, able to use legal means to punish wrongdoers.

He delivered a few more parcels, but received no system rewards.

Ye Chen was long used to such occurrences.

Sometimes delivering regular parcels would earn system rewards, and sometimes nothing would happen.

Ye Chen found this quite interesting, adding a bit of anticipation to his routine.

If it happened every time, it’d actually be boring.

He was riding his electric scooter, humming a tune.

"Riding my beloved little scooter, it’ll never get stuck in traffic..."

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s phone rang.

He glanced at it, and to his surprise, it was Lawyer Zhang calling.

He thought he had already explained everything, why was the lawyer calling him again?

Could something have happened?
