Rebellious Game C3.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chp3. part2

Tong Jia was stunned.

You said we’d go together, but you’re the one who left me behind. What are you trying to do?

“I’m wearing high heels today, so I can’t walk fast. Slow down!” In that brief moment of hesitation, Yun Xin was already far away, and Tong Jia quickly caught up.

She had only taken a few quick steps when a small car veered across the road, heading straight for where she had just been standing.

The speed of the car created a gust of wind, ruffling the stray hairs at her temples.

Tong Jia turned around stiffly.

A loud “bang!” followed as the car crashed into a shop along the street. It not only smashed the front door but also shattered part of the wall.

The driver and the labourer, who were unloading goods, were “fortunate” enough to witness the entire crash up close; all three were terrified, their legs going weak.

Tong Jia felt a chill run down her spine.

If she had refused the invitation and stayed to look at the order slip… she dared not think about it, a chill ran through her.

“Something’s happened! Call an ambulance!” The street was in chaos.

At that moment, a transparent panel popped up.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully surviving dungeon number 112132- “Insurance Fraud Accident”.]

[Because you saved a human, your pass rating is “C”, reward attribute points: Strength +0.1, Spirit +0.1.]

“Is this also an evolution game dungeon?” Yun Xin fell into deep thought.

In Tong Jia’s past 28 years of life, never a day has been as thrilling as today.

Only a few steps away from death.

The car that hit her almost grazed her as it crashed into the shop’s entrance.

Before she could even recover, she was taken to the police station for a statement and investigation.

Tong Jia couldn’t remember what she said, but when she came to her senses, she was sitting in a chair at the police station. Yun Xin sat two chairs away next to her.

“Why did you walk so fast before?” Tong Jia finally found a chance to ask.

“Don’t you dislike me?” Yun Xin said casually, “Walk away, so you won’t be annoyed by me.”

“Then why did you invite me to buy milk tea together?” Tong Jia asked again.

“Because I wanted some.” Yun Xin raised her right hand, picked up the plastic cup, and took a sip.

Tong Jia then noticed that she was holding milk tea. The other person had kept their milk tea cup by their side, in her blind spot, so she hadn’t seen it.

“I also bought an Americano, do you want some?” Yun Xin took out a takeout coffee cup from the corner.

“Yes.” Tong Jia desperately needed the caffeine to calm her nerves.

The two sat quietly, one holding milk tea, the other drinking coffee, neither speaking.

Tong Jia didn’t know what time it was or what she should do. Her mind was blank, she didn’t want to do anything, just wanted to space out.

After what seemed like an eternity, a middle-aged man with filthy hair, who looked like he hadn’t washed in days, and reeking of a foul odour, was escorted past them by the police.

The middle-aged man walked away, wailing, “I never thought it would turn out like this! I… I was drowning in debt, I bought insurance, and I wanted to commit suicide to get the money for my family.”

“I even observed for a while, specifically choosing a fast car, waiting for the right moment to dash out. Who knew that the driver would see me and immediately turn the steering wheel?”

“I really didn’t expect him to kill anyone else…”

Tong Jia hadn’t expected that sitting at the police station for a while would lead to the discovery of the cause of the accident. She looked up at the middle-aged man and only wanted to curse him- “What a fucking idiot.”

“This is insurance fraud, the insurance company won’t pay out,” Tong Jia said quietly. “Didn’t you do any research before you tried to commit suicide?”

The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed in disbelief, more shocked than if he’d heard someone had died in an accident.

“Get out of here quickly.” The encounter between the perpetrator and the victim is most likely to cause trouble. To avoid a conflict, the police quickly took them away.

“It was all for insurance fraud.” The unexpected answer left Tong Jia speechless.

The perpetrator deliberately rushed out to commit suicide, let him die, he’d die stupidly anyway.

But he didn’t die!

The driver reacted too quickly, managing to swerve in time.

As a result, others took the blame and suffered greatly…

“If I had been standing there, I would have died so unjustly,” Tong Jia said, both angry and anxious, feeling an indescribable sense of injustice and resentment.

“I heard there were customers in the shop at the time. One person died, and five were injured and taken to the hospital,” Yun Xin whispered. “Everyone involved is innocent.”

Tong Jia thought that narrowly escaping death was the pinnacle of her bad luck. Unexpectedly, after giving her statement and returning to the hotel, her boss told her, “Unexcused absence during working hours will result in a deduction in pay.”

Tong Jia was stunned. She tried to explain, “I had an accident while shopping, and I went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation and give a statement…”

Besides, the driver and the others should have returned first to explain the situation.

The boss bombarded her with questions, “Did you report to the company beforehand? Did the company approve it? Did you disappear without explaining anything?”

Tong Jia, “…”

She’d almost lost her life, who cared about the company anymore?

“So,” the boss turned to Yun Xin, “you too, one day absent. Deduction, absolutely!”

Yun Xin thought about it seriously for a moment, then countered, “Today was my first day at work, so not only do I not get paid, but I also owe the company something?”

The boss was speechless. Shameless as he was, he didn’t dare easily admit that this was how the debt should be settled.

Tong Jia knew she couldn’t avoid it, so she steeled herself and took all the blame. “What does she know? Is she new here? If you want to deduct money, deduct it from my salary.”

The boss, having gotten away with it, feigned innocence. “Since this is the first time, it’s just a warning with a deduction in wages, don’t make it happen again.”

After he walked away, Tong Jia spat fiercely. “I’ll make you regret it!”

Yun Xin questioned, “Is the hotel’s business not doing well?”

Business seems quite good, why are they even trying to save money on this? It doesn’t seem like the owner of a big hotel at all.

“It is doing quite well,” Tong Jia said quietly, “but making money and being stingy are two different things.”
