Chapter 207
C207 – This Is Yours
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman seemed to be giddy with the two hundred thousand yuan cradled in her arms. She even played along with Jiang Hao’s rhetorical question, asking, “How much?”
Jiang Hao, with a smile, fixed his gaze on her. He first extended one finger, then added four more.
Clutching her newfound fortune, the Deliberately-Provoking Woman mimicked Jiang Hao’s hand signals before looking up at him expectantly. “One hundred and forty thousand?”
Jiang Hao shook his head. “No, think bigger!”
She gasped in surprise. “Could it be one point four million?”
The crowd exchanged knowing glances. It made sense now why he could easily pull out two hundred thousand.
Yet, Jiang Hao shook his head again. “Guess again! Be bold with your guess!”
Silence fell upon the crowd as they processed his denial. The Deliberately-Provoking Woman paused, her eyes wide with astonishment, before venturing, “It can’t possibly be fourteen million, can it?”
At that, all eyes snapped to Jiang Hao, seeking his confirmation.
He nodded, then quickly shook his head, adding to the confusion. He then clarified, “You’re partially correct. The exact price of this car is 14.32 million!”
“Doubtful? I have the receipt right here,” he said, producing a receipt with an impressive string of figures.
Everyone collectively inhaled sharply at the revelation.
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman was visibly shaken. “Over fourteen million!”
She lamented, “What a fool I’ve been with money! I should have demanded two million from the start!”
Regret was eating her up inside. But in that moment, Jiang Hao seized her and strode over to his car, pointing out the sizable dent her electric scooter had made.
His eyes glinted with an unmatched chill as he spoke in an icy, emotionless tone.
“My issue here is that this pitfall is worth a million dollars!”
“If you don’t cough up the cash today, you’re not going anywhere!”
Jiang Hao’s explosive outburst took everyone by surprise.
It took a moment before the crowd caught on.
Jiang Hao, an idiot? Far from it – he had set a trap!
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman had met her match this time!
“You give me two hundred thousand, and now you owe me a million?”
At that point, the Deliberately-Provoking Woman was utterly flabbergasted.
A million dollars! Where on earth would she come up with that kind of money?
Just then, Soong Wan, who had observed the whole scene, cracked a knowing smile.
This was the Jiang Hao she recognized!
In a desperate bid, the Deliberately-Provoking Woman threw herself to the ground, clutching her legs and wailing.
“My legs! I’ve been hit!”
The onlookers were at a loss for words before turning their attention to Jiang Hao.
They were eager to see how he would handle this shameless scammer.
That’s when they saw Jiang Hao whip out his phone and start tapping away, volume cranked up to the max.
Suddenly, a recording filled the air.
Even the Deliberately-Provoking Woman ceased her cries as everyone listened in.
……
Jiang Hao said, “Ma’am, here’s two hundred thousand for you!”
The Deliberately-Provoking Woman responded, “Young man, you’re such a good Samaritan!”
She then declared, “I’m all right now, you all can go!”
Jiang Hao replied, “Ma’am, I’m glad to hear you’re okay!”
……
The recording prompted a chorus of snickers from the crowd.
“Ma’am, if you don’t pay up, I’ll have no choice but to call the cops!”
