Chapter 198: A Slap of Fifty Thousand

198

There has been an idiom in China since ancient times called respecting the old and loving the young, which means respecting the elderly and loving the children.

Therefore, for a long time, any disrespectful behavior towards the elderly will be criticized, including Xu Taiping's current behavior.

Many onlookers didn't know the cause and effect. They only saw Xu Taiping slap a gray-haired old man, and then the old man seemed to faint from the slap.

The old man's family members attacked Xu Taiping angrily. Some kicked him, some hit him with their fists, and some pounced directly on Xu Taiping.

For Xu Taiping, he didn't even have to dodge too much to deal with these ordinary people, because these people's fists and kicks could not pose any threat to her at all.

With just a few clicks, four or five of the old man's family members fell to the ground and groaned. However, Xu Taiping's heroic scene did not arouse cheers from the crowd present. Many people looked at Xu Taiping with contempt. Taiping, some resentful people even started to accuse Xu Taiping.

"Why are you so unqualified? You're still a college student. You're such a disgrace to your college!"

"That's it, how could you do this to an old man? You are a young man, you are so inhumane!"

Facing the accusations from around him, Xu Taiping did not respond. He was not a person who cared about what others said. He turned around and was about to walk towards Ma Xiaodong when his foot was suddenly grabbed by someone.

"Beat someone to death, someone is beating someone to death!!" The white-haired old man who seemed to have fainted before hugged Xu Taiping's feet tightly and shouted loudly.

His shouts were full of energy, not like someone who had just woken up from a coma.

The white-haired old man shouted this, and the enthusiasm of the onlookers was once again ignited. The crowd surrounded Xu Taiping tightly, and some even picked up their mobile phones to call the police.

"You, how could you do this? They were the ones who beat me first!" A female student was so anxious that she almost cried when she heard the accusations from people around her.

"Director Xu, let's leave quickly?" Ma Xiaodong said nervously, "Someone called the police."

"What are you afraid of?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Respecting the old and loving the young means respecting the behavior of the elderly, not respecting their age. If an old man is disrespectful, then why should he win the respect of others? Respect? Do we have to respect him just because he is older? A rooster and a robber, do we have to respect him as he gets older? How can there be such logic? "

"But, a lot of people are scolding us!" Ma Xiaodong said in a low voice.

"Excuse me." Xu Taiping looked at the people around him coldly and said, "To stand on the moral high ground and accuse others is what Chinese people are most willing to do. They say it with such righteousness that they don't dare to stop a thief when they see it. , I’m still afraid of these people?”

After saying this, Xu Taiping looked down at the white-haired old man beneath him and said, "Old man, I'll give you a chance. Let go of your hand, or believe it or not, I'll kick you in the face?"

"It's incredible. Today's young people are addicted to beating the elderly. Please comment. Our family finally went out to enjoy family happiness. This person bullies others and beats my old man without saying a word. Beat our family, whoever we offend whomever, is there any law left?" the white-haired old man shouted with runny nose and tears.

"What's going on?" A low voice suddenly came from outside the crowd, and then two policemen walked through the crowd and walked to Xu Taiping's side.

"Officer, you are finally here. This man beat me and my family. Now I am dizzy and want to vomit!" The white-haired old man frowned, covered his head with one hand, and shouted excitedly. .

"Officer, that's not the case, they were the ones who beat people first!" a female student said quickly.

"What's going on?" A thin policeman frowned and looked at Xu Taiping. At this time, Xu Taiping was only wearing a towel. Some wounds on Xu Taiping's body could be vaguely seen. From these vague wounds, this The police instinctively felt that Xu Taiping was not a good person.

"This man beat me! You must make the decision for us!" The white-haired old man hugged Xu Taiping's feet tightly and shouted.

"Did you hit someone?" the skinny policeman asked.

"It's me." Xu Taiping nodded and said, "I'm a security guard at Jiangyuan University. This old man beat up a student from our school. I'll beat him back. It's that simple."

"Jiangyuan University? That's a key university. How can you, a security guard from a key university, hit an old man? No matter who made the move first, it's wrong for you to hit an old man!" the thin policeman said with a frown.

"Officer, it's like this. We were queuing up in the rapids just now, and it was almost our turn. This old man wanted to jump in line. We didn't say anything. After all, we should respect the old and love the young. But this old man not only jumped in line, but , and asked his family to jump in line, I couldn't stand it and said a few words, and the old man beat me. Director Xu also made the decision for me, so he beat the old man. Please don't arrest Director Xu, okay?" Ma Xiaodong He looked at the policeman pleadingly and said.

"What the hell, when did I join the queue? You were the one who jumped in, but you came back to bite us!" the white-haired old man said angrily.

"Yeah, yeah, you're the one who jumped in! You bastards!"

"What kind of bullshit is this? You jumped in line and got angry and beat the old man. But now it is said that it was us who did it. You are really the scum of society!!"

Several people who had been knocked to the ground by Xu Taiping had regained their composure at this time, and stood up one after another to accuse Ma Xiaodong and others. When these people opened their mouths, they used a lot of filthy words, saying that Ma Xiaodong and his group did not mix well. People living in society cannot open their mouths at all.

"Whether this matter is private or public, you have to decide for yourself. If it's private, you pay some money and apologize, and then this matter will be over. Everyone should go and do whatever they want. Don't waste time. If it's public, , then you have to go to the police station with us to take notes." The skinny policeman said loudly, then he came close to Xu Taiping and whispered, "I advise you to keep it private. Listen to the tone of this family's words. I know that this family is not someone to be trifled with. No matter which one of you made the move first, I am an old man. When the time comes, I will go directly to the hospital. Don’t even think about it if you don’t have thirty or fifty thousand yuan. It’s not worth it to you. when."

"Private? How come the law is private?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Don't worry, I'll ask for you." After the skinny policeman finished speaking, he knelt down and said to the white-haired old man, "Old sir, if you remain in such a stalemate here, it will bring bad consequences to the entire water world. Influence, so be it, if you have any requests, please make them.”

"Request? Do you think I'm blackmailing someone?" The white-haired old man rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"That's definitely not the case, but I see that you, the old man, weren't injured at all. Isn't it good that you're still so stiff?" the policeman asked.

"Why didn't he expect to freeze when he hit someone? Let me tell you this. It's not over. I'm over sixty years old. How can I withstand the beatings of young people? My whole body hurts now. Oops, it hurts. Kill me!" The white-haired old man said while wailing.

"You and I can only take him back to the police station and file a case." The skinny policeman was also a little annoyed. The old man was really too embarrassed. He didn't look like he was injured at all. Now he has brought it up. It's really infuriating that he is still so unwilling to make a fuss even if they have settled things privately.

"Dad, let this man pay some money and then take you to the hospital for a checkup." The old man's son suggested.

"Since my son has said so, then you should pay me compensation." The white-haired old man shouted.

"How much do you want?" Xu Taiping asked.

"How much do you want? I want 50,000!" The white-haired old man opened his five fingers and said, "You give me 50,000, and then take me to the hospital for a physical examination. If there is anything wrong with my physical examination, then you don't decided!"

After saying this, the white-haired old man said in a voice that only Xu Taiping could hear, "Old man, I'm sick a lot. Please prepare to take care of me for three to five months."

"A slap in the face costs 50,000?" Xu Taiping shouted in shock, seemingly frightened by the old man's words.

Xia Jinxuan, who was watching the whole show from the sidelines, saw Xu Taiping's artificial performance, held back her smile, covered her mouth and walked aside.

"Do you know how strong your young man's hands are? If you slap me in the face, you can kill me. Fortunately, old man, I am in good health, otherwise you would be a murderer, you know? For fifty thousand yuan, you Pay me fifty thousand yuan!" the white-haired old man shouted loudly.

When the people around him heard what the old man said, the little pity they had for the old man suddenly faded away. After all, Xu Taiping just slapped him and didn't really hurt him. Just this slap was enough. Asking for fifty thousand people is really a bit dark.

"If I ask you to pay 50,000 yuan, just pay it. You can only consider yourself unlucky for this kind of thing. Who asked you to hit the old man? You pay the 50,000 yuan, and I will explain it to you later, so that you don't go again. The hospital is serving people, so this matter should be resolved as soon as possible to avoid trouble." The thin policeman on the side said to Xu Taiping.

"Okay. No wonder the old people nowadays are getting more and more arrogant. A slap in the face can earn 50,000 yuan. It's amazing." Xu Taiping sighed, then looked around, waved to Xia Jinxuan, and called Xia Jinxuan to him. Then he leaned into Xia Jinxuan's ear and said a few words.

"I understand." Xia Jinxuan nodded, turned and left. Everyone present thought that Xia Jinxuan had gone to withdraw money. Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Jinxuan left, Xu Taiping picked up the phone and said to the white-haired old man, "A slap costs 50,000 yuan. If I give you 500,000 yuan, you owe me nine slaps, right?"

"What?" The old man looked at Xu Taiping in surprise, thinking that he heard wrongly.

"If you think it's okay, I'll give you the five hundred thousand yuan right away. If you think it's not okay, then prove that this slap is not worth fifty thousand yuan, so I don't have to give you the money. Old man, you can make your own choice. , I respect your decision." Xu Taiping said jokingly.
