I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 153 Sky-high Bill

Jiang Li didn't believe it. Injuring a dozen or so people would cost 17 billion. She immediately said, "Fine, as long as you come up with the money, I'll compensate them!"

Cai nodded at the expression, then gestured with his eyes to the police officer beside him.

The police officers immediately stepped forward, intending to pull Jiang Li out of the car.

However, they failed and were easily knocked to the ground by Jiang Li.

Just three minutes later, the family members who were disguised as police officers were all lying on the ground, incapacitated.

Caiyi's eyes widened, revealing a surprised expression.

She forgot that although Jiang Li had lost her memory, her fighting skills remained, so these people definitely couldn't beat her.

Cai Yi took a deep breath and personally engaged Jiang Li in battle.

After a fierce battle, Caiyi ultimately defeated Jiangli by a narrow margin.

Jiang Li struggled desperately, shouting, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"Do you know who I am? I am the daughter of the Jiang family!"

"If you dare arrest me, my parents will never let you get away with it!"

Cai Yi grinned, his teeth grinding menacingly, and said, "But you assaulted a police officer. That's a matter of the law, not whether your parents will let us off the hook or not."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, and retorted sarcastically, "What assault on a police officer? Isn't that something that can be solved with money?"

"Tell me, how much does it cost?"

Cai Yi was amused by her, seeing Jiang Li so arrogant for the first time: "Alright, since you're so willing to spend money to save yourself, I'll give you a chance."

"Including the compensation for those seventeen people, it'll be a total of 30 billion."

How could Jiang Li possibly pay so much in compensation? She struggled again, shouting and yelling as she tried to attract the attention and sympathy of the students around her.

Caiyi frowned as he looked at the chaotic scene before him. He then asked his family members, who had already gotten up, for a pair of shackles and used them to handcuff Jiang Li without hesitation.

Jiang Li was startled by this sudden action and burst into tears, crying pitifully. Her eyes brimming with tears, she cried, "Waaah...you're bullying us...those seventeen people were clearly only slightly injured...waaah...how could it cost 17 billion..."

Cai Yi was surprised that Jiang Li was still mentally sharp and could even discern the extent of these people's injuries.

However, she certainly couldn't admit that those people only suffered minor injuries.

She raised her eyes, pinched Jiang Li's chin, and said coldly, "I don't lie. You'll know the exact amount when I send you the bill later."

Jiang Li's snot bubbles were coming out, and Cai Yi felt a little nauseous, so she pulled up her own sleeve to wipe Jiang Li's nose.

Jiang Li sobbed, "Wait...wait until the bill comes out...sob...I'll pay then..."

Caiyi nodded in agreement: "Okay, you've assaulted a police officer, so you'll need to go to the police station for a while."

After saying that, she pulled Jiang Li towards the police car.

Jiang Li looked at Cai Yi with disbelief, her eyes wide, and said, "Assaulting a police officer...does it cost this much money?" Her tone was full of doubt and surprise.

Cai Yi turned his gaze to the disguised policeman beside him. The policeman looked pained, and there were even some bruises and swelling on his face, so he looked like he was indeed injured.

The fake policeman blinked, instantly understanding Cai Yi's meaning. He immediately became serious and warned Jiang Li, "Assaulting a police officer is a serious crime! Generally speaking, in this situation, ransom is not allowed."

"But considering this is your first offense, we can give you a chance."

"One hundred and fifty billion," Cai Yi said casually.

However, Jiang Li shook her head and seriously retorted, "No, I remember saying before that the ransom was 30 billion, but then you reduced it by 17 billion, so it should be 13 billion!"

Upon hearing this, the fake policeman couldn't help but laugh, but the next second he straightened his face and explained, "Yes, that's right."

"But weren't you unwilling to pay for those people's medical expenses?"

"Therefore, we did not reduce your fine."

"That doesn't mean you should reduce the ransom!" Jiang Li insisted. "These are two completely different things. They only suffered minor injuries!"

A fleeting thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind, realizing that assaulting a police officer seemed to be a serious crime.

Thinking of this, her attitude softened slightly.

The fake policeman coughed lightly and said, "Alright, then it'll be 13 billion. Transfer the money now."

At this moment, Caiyi saw that Jiang Li had calmed down, so he smiled and stepped forward to help her remove the shackles from her hands.

Jiang Li fiddled with her phone for a long time, but the money still wouldn't transfer out.

Cai Yi looked up at the sky, then smiled at Jiang Li and said, "If you don't have money, you'll be going to jail~"

If he goes to jail, the storyline naturally falls apart.

After all, the time spent in jail for assaulting a police officer is enough for the story to end.

These words seemed to trigger something, and Jiang Li immediately transferred the money.

Caiyi's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was from her family.

There was no money, but the world's consciousness provided three storylines for characters with extremely different personalities.

Cai Yi beamed with joy, then reported back home that the medical expenses for those seventeen people amounted to 17 billion, and that they needed concrete evidence.

Since Jiang Li's clever mind is still intact, it would be easy for her to spot a fake; she can just make a real one.

World Consciousness: "..."

Okay, okay, let's make the bill right in front of them!

Caiyi felt this was an opportunity.

She began to think about how to use Jiang Li's storyline to gain more benefits.

Jiang Li looks like the kind of rich heiress with bad character.

Today alone, I've contributed three plot lines that weren't written in the book. With the medical expenses for those seventeen people, I might even get three or four more plot lines.

Caiyi's eyes gleamed, like the eerie green light of a wolf eyeing its prey.

Jiang Li was terrified by what she saw.

She initially thought she could resolve the issue by transferring money, but now it seems things are far more complicated than that.

Her parents had just sent her a text message warning her to behave herself and not cause trouble for the family, and they transferred 20 billion yuan to her as living expenses for four years of university.

She couldn't help but regret her decision, but it was too late.

As time went on, Jiang Li became increasingly nervous.

A rider disguised in a yellow shirt arrived and shouted, "Who sent the medical bill?"

Cai Yi raised his hand, and the rider, anticipating this, ran over.

Cai Yi didn't even open the package before handing it to Jiang Li, fearing that something bad might happen later and she would be accused of cheating.

Jiang Li hurriedly opened the package and looked at each one carefully, not missing anything suspicious.

Then they made several phone calls to that hospital to inquire, and there were no flaws in their story.

Jiang Li was stunned, repeating, "How is this possible? How is this possible..."

Caiyi patted her on the shoulder: "Pay up."
