Why do you have a recorder?
“Is it possible that I didn’t drink at all?”
Xu Ning’s question instantly froze the designated driver, whose expression changed repeatedly.
Didn’t drink?
If you didn’t drink, why did you call a designated driver?
Especially since you’re driving such a cool supercar, shouldn’t you be speeding through the quiet night?
It’s one thing not to enjoy the speed yourself, but to even hire a designated driver to drive, what were you thinking?
Just as Xu Ning couldn’t understand some people’s thought processes, the designated driver couldn’t comprehend Xu Ning’s actions at that moment.
Xu Ning shrugged with a smile.
I’m tired, I simply don’t want to drive, so I called a designated driver. That’s perfectly reasonable!
Even if I am a designated driver, so what?
Am I a chef, so I can’t eat at restaurants outside?
Am I a taxi driver, so I can’t hail a taxi outside?
By the same logic, even if I am a designated driver, you can’t deprive me of the right to call a designated driver, right?
“Uh… since you didn’t drink, then it’s a misunderstanding.”
“We’ve reached the destination, and the trip is over, so I’ll be going now.”
“I hope to have the opportunity to serve you again next time.”
After the designated driver reacted, he saw the situation was bad and wanted to slip away.
Xu Ning couldn’t help but sneer, “You can leave when the Police Officer tells you to!”
Seeing Xu Ning’s attitude, how could the designated driver not know things were serious?
“Sir, it’s my fault, I apologize, let’s not involve the Police Officer, okay?”
“You haven’t suffered any losses, and I haven’t called the police, so just pretend nothing happened and let me go, okay?”
“I have elderly parents and young children, life is hard, you don’t need to be so ruthless, do you?”
“I beg you, otherwise, should I kneel for you?”
As he spoke, the designated driver seemed as if he was really about to kneel before Xu Ning.
Xu Ning sneered again, but he couldn’t feel much sympathy.
Regardless of how much genuine emotion was in his words, his act of blackmail alone was unforgivable.
You have hands and feet, what can’t you do to earn a living?
Why must you engage in such unscrupulous activities?
You have elderly parents and young children, don’t other car owners have them too?
If you genuinely saw someone drunk driving inadvertently and asked for a bit of hush money, that might be understandable.
But you deliberately set a trap for the car owner and then extorted him!
Weren’t those car owners you extorted wronged?
So, don’t try to gain my sympathy here!
It’s useless!
Xu Ning wore a mocking smile but remained silent, showing no inclination to be swayed.
The designated driver’s face turned ugly, and his thoughts raced.
Otherwise, should I just run away quickly?
Maybe they won’t catch me!
However, he then remembered that this car owner had called a designated driver through a designated driving platform; as long as the police sent a letter, the platform would surely provide his detailed information.
So running was useless!
Then, is it possible for me to insist that I didn’t commit blackmail?
It seems… possible… I didn’t see the car owner recording on his phone just now, so there shouldn’t be any evidence to prove I extorted him, right?
There might be surveillance cameras on the roadside, but they usually only have video and no audio, so they can’t prove I extorted him either.
Thinking of this, the designated driver breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of relief after a narrow escape.
But the next second, he froze on the spot, completely losing his mind!
A voice recorder!
He watched with wide eyes as Xu Ning pulled a voice recorder from his pocket!
How is this possible?
Why would you have a voice recorder?
What kind of normal person carries a voice recorder with them!
At this moment, he felt a chill from head to toe, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Things had reached this point, and it was no longer up to him.
Before long, Officer Wang arrived at the scene in a police car.
Of course, just like the previous few times, his gaze towards Xu Ning was exceptionally peculiar.
He truly felt that Xu Ning, this young man, was so strange that normal people simply couldn’t understand him.
So wealthy, yet he likes to be a designated driver to experience life;
Being a designated driver is one thing, but he always encounters all sorts of bizarre incidents;
In just one week, how many times has he dealt with him, a Police Officer?
It’s not an exaggeration to say they contact each other almost daily!
He even felt he could apply to the station chief to assign a dedicated Police Officer to him.
After understanding the situation from Xu Ning, he realized that this designated driver might indeed be involved in blackmail.
So, Officer Wang took both Xu Ning and the designated driver back to the Police Station, one for a statement and the other for interrogation.
The evidence was conclusive!
Not only was there Xu Ning’s voice recorder, but there was also surveillance footage from the ‘Eye of Heaven’ showing the designated driver finding a corner to record after getting out of the car.
This made the designated driver’s excuse of having family matters fall apart.
Without much effort, the designated driver confessed on his own.
He just wanted to use this method to make drunk car owners drive, and then extort them.
And this was not the first time he had engaged in such activities; he had succeeded several times before, and the income from extortion was far higher than from designated driving.
According to the current sentencing standards for extortion, he would likely face a fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years.
If it weren’t for Xu Ning, he would probably still be at large.
But how could he have foreseen that there would be such an oddball like Xu Ning, who called a designated driver even when he hadn’t drunk alcohol!
One can only say, it was fate!
As they left the Police Station, Officer Wang said with a rather strange expression, “Next time you encounter similar illegal situations, ensure your own safety before calling the police.”
He had figured it out; given Xu Ning’s special constitution, similar incidents would likely not be uncommon in the future.
In a situation like today’s, Xu Ning could have paid the person first to satisfy them, and then found a suitable opportunity to call the police.
After all, the other party was a legitimate designated driver from a designated driving platform and couldn’t escape.
Calling the police on the spot, if the other party became desperate, safety wouldn’t be guaranteed.
Xu Ning understood Officer Wang’s meaning and nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful next time!”
It was really late, but Xu Ning no longer felt like calling another designated driver and drove to the hotel himself.
There was nothing he could do; he was truly afraid of encountering another bizarre incident.
Another time would be fine, but now he just wanted to lie on a large bed and get a good night’s sleep.
Although the hotel environment was mediocre, being extremely tired, he didn’t care much about it and slept straight until his phone alarm rang in the morning.
While groggily washing up, he pondered that as a super-rich person earning tens of millions a day, he should at least stay in the most upscale hotels.
When he had time, he would look around nearby.
At least before buying a large villa, he couldn’t treat himself badly.
After dropping off Xiao Dong at school in the morning, Xu Ning had nothing to worry about for the day and planned to return to school to continue working on his graduation project.
However, shortly after arriving at the dormitory, he was called away by his counselor, Yu Qiang.
Because he secured Xu Ning’s 60 million yuan donation, Yu Qiang was in the spotlight.
Without any surprises, his bid for the position of Assistant Director of the Student Affairs Office was successfully approved, and he would take office after the current batch of students from Xu Ning’s two classes graduated.
