Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"No, no, no, we're not trying to extort you, we just want to borrow money from him!" Jin Deyi blurted out nervously.

No one can stand being labeled like that.

Ye Chen would most likely not sue for defamation, after all, he would have to consider family ties, and it wouldn't sound good if word got out.

The older sister probably won't pursue these matters against him; at most, she'll just scold him!

But extortion is a different story. If he's convicted of that, he could really end up in jail.

The law enforcement officer said sternly, "But your behavior is a classic case of extortion. Is this how you lend money?"

"Using malicious live-streaming to defame others and force them to comply in order to achieve one's own goals, what is this if not extortion?"

"Paying back 100 million? That's a huge amount, you know? If you have other serious circumstances, consider a 3 to 10-year sentence!"

"You still haven't adjusted your attitude? Do you really think we're just joking around with you?"

Jin De was sweating profusely; he did indeed have other serious circumstances...

Jin De's voice trembled slightly: "Comrade, it's not that serious, is it? Ye Chen blocked us. We couldn't contact him, so we had to come to his shop hoping to get him to show up. We really didn't mean to blackmail him!"

Li Wenlong curled his lip: "It's not that serious yet. How serious would it be? The live stream has already surpassed 3000 viewers, and the number of views is unimaginable!"

"My master has already lent you 100,000 yuan. Who can you blame for your gambling addiction? You've only been gambling for two days and you want to borrow another 1 million yuan. Who wouldn't block a relative like that? Even mountains of gold and silver couldn't withstand your extravagant spending!"

"Unable to borrow money, you resort to live-streaming slander against my master and damaging his reputation. Don't you know my master is a public figure now?"

"Your actions have already had a huge impact on my master!"

My aunt quickly added, "The 100 million was the previous figure. We don't need to borrow that much now, just another 10. My husband broke his hand and needs money for hospital treatment. It's a loan, not extortion!"

Jin De nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, we just wanted to force him to show up, we didn't mean to extort him. Comrade, why don't you notify Ye Chen, the person in charge, to come over, and we'll borrow him in person, no, we'll talk to him in person, is that okay? We'll also apologize to him for our rash behavior."

My aunt and Jin De both emphasized that they had no intention of extorting money.

Since they did not explicitly state that they were demanding money or valuables, it is indeed difficult to determine the nature of the crime.

The law enforcement officer looked at Li Wenlong: "What do you think?"

Li Wenlong pointed at the live stream camera: "You need to clarify things for the audience first before saying anything else!"

The law enforcement officer looked at Jin De: "Did you hear that? First, clarify the truth of the matter, then release an apology video and obtain the forgiveness of the person involved!"

Jin De asked timidly, "As long as I clarify things, everything should be fine, right?"

The law enforcement officer frowned: "You need to straighten out your attitude first, understand? Just do it, there's no room for negotiation. As for whether your actions will gain the understanding of the person involved, and what punishment you will receive, that's another matter!"

Jin De hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, I'll clarify, comrade, I really wasn't extorting you, I'm a good person!"

"Look here, talk to the audience!" Li Wenlong pointed his phone camera at Jin De.

Jin De's expression was complicated, and he eventually began to retract his inappropriate remarks.

She claimed that everything she had just said was a slander and defamation against Ye Chen, in order to force him to show himself, and admitted that she wanted to borrow money from Ye Chen.

He also cursed himself for being a worthless person who had come up with such a terrible idea, damaging Ye Chen's reputation.

He then bowed deeply in apology!

Whether they were sincere or not, at least they showed their attitude, and it was passable on the surface.

The live stream chat was flooded with praise, but most of the comments were criticizing Jin De for being inhuman.

[Damn, he's a jerk! Anyone related to him is doomed!]

[That's utter nonsense after all.]

This couple is such scumbags, so calculating, they're truly despicable!

[You've used such a valuable resource as Dr. Ye in this way. How ignorant, pathetic, and lamentable!]

[They're practically treating Ye Chen like a lamb to the slaughter! First 10, then 100, then another 10... I wouldn't even dare ask my dad for that much, for fear he'd turn against me out of loyalty.]

This story teaches us that you shouldn't flaunt your wealth, otherwise you'll never know what kind of strange relatives you have.

[It's true, I bought a car and posted it on WeChat Moments, and the next day a relative asked to borrow money from my family. If I didn't lend it, they would gossip about me. It's so tough!]

......

Jin De didn't have time to care about the reactions of the viewers in the live stream; he just wanted to extricate himself from the situation first.

He looked at the law enforcement officers: "Officer, is this alright for me?"

One of the officers nodded: "Their attitude in admitting their mistake is acceptable. It all depends on what the person involved has to say. Remember, don't do this kind of thing again!"

Li Wenlong called Ye Chen and briefly explained the situation.

After hearing this, Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with Jin De and didn't want to see him again, so he let him go this time.

After all, I still have to give my mom some face.

My mom says she doesn't acknowledge this younger sister, but as her son, he can't keep hurting her feelings.

We still need to save face among relatives, otherwise how will Mom face her relatives from her own family in the future?

However, Ye Chen reserves the right to pursue legal action. If Jin De engages in similar behavior again, then there's nothing more to say; he'll just have to go straight to jail.

In fact, Ye Chen didn't even need to take action himself. If Jin De didn't change his ways, he would definitely suffer a lot in society.

In the end, the law enforcement officers gave Jin De a lecture, and the aunt and her family of three slunk away.

This matter is temporarily closed.

Those who watched the live stream online felt a bit uneasy because they didn't see Jin De receive a severe punishment.

However, the live stream was turned off, and Ye Chen, being magnanimous and mindful of their kinship, didn't hold it against them, so he didn't say anything.

They couldn't beat up Jin De through the screen, so all they could do was curse and swear.

......

Meanwhile, inside the noodle shop, Brother Chicken and the others were too full to eat any more noodles.

"Damn, this bastard just apologized so casually and that's it?" A tattooed man slammed his hand on the table.

The noodle stall owner was so frightened that he trembled and hid in the back kitchen, not daring to utter a sound.

Chicken Bro sneered, "The more I look at him, the more I dislike him. My hands are itching lately!"

A burly man chuckled, "Brother Chicken, that's easy. I'll take a few brothers and beat him up tonight!"

"No rush, we have to wait until he gets his severed hand back on first. Toys are toys, you have to play with them slowly! Just because Mr. Ye isn't going to hold a grudge against him doesn't mean this is the end of it." Chicken Brother rubbed his chin with a playful expression.

"Brother Chicken, we've gone to such lengths to avenge Ye Chen, will he remember our kindness? What if he holds us responsible in the end?"

One of the men hesitated to speak up!
