00:00A man saw an elderly person fall to the ground, but no one dared to help him up.
00:03Out of kindness, the man helped the old man to his feet,
00:05yet the old man falsely accused him of knocking him down, and refused to let him leave.
00:08The man explained that he had only helped out of goodwill,
00:10but the elderly man, seeing an easy target, insisted that it was the man who had hit him.
00:13Soon after, a traffic officer arrived, and asked the man to show his ID.
00:16While searching for it, the man accidentally revealed a wad of cash,
00:19and the old man's eyes lit up immediately.
00:20The old man called his son, claiming that he had been knocked over by a bicycle,
00:23and asked him to come to man justice.
00:24Seeing the old man's persistence, the officer asked the man whether he had proof,
00:28that he was not responsible for the fall.
00:29The man replied that he had merely been passing by,
00:31and that the old man had already fallen when he arrived.
00:33Moreover, nearby witnesses could testify to that.
00:35When everyone present testified in the man's favor,
00:37the officer realized that the old man was attempting blackmail.
00:40However, witnesses were still needed.
00:41To close the case properly, the officer therefore asked who would be willing,
00:43to testify at the police station.
00:45The bystanders remained silent, afraid of getting involved, and causing trouble for themselves.
00:49At that moment, the old man's son arrived.
00:50The man thought the younger one would be more reasonable, and explained the situation again.
00:53To his surprise, the son was even more unreasonable,
00:56asking why he would help if he hadn't hit anyone.
00:57The man replied that in his village, people help those who fall.
01:00Seeing the man's kindness, the old man's son demanded that he take the old man to the hospital,
01:03and pay the medical expenses, as well as nutritional costs.
01:06The man was furious.
01:07This was clearly extortion.
01:08Even the bystanders sympathized with him.
01:09But the son refused to admit any wrongdoing.
01:11He pushed the old man toward the man, telling him to hit him,
01:14if he really thought it was extortion.
01:15The man immediately stepped back, not daring to touch him at all,
01:17for fear of getting into even more trouble.
01:19The officer said the matter would have to be handled at the station.
01:21Press for time.
01:22The man wanted to leave.
01:23But the old man's family revealed their true intentions.
01:25They suggested that if he paid some money, the matter could be settled.
01:27Without going to the hospital, realizing it was a scam,
01:30the man reluctantly offered $16, hoping to end it quickly.
01:32But the old man's daughter-in-law demanded at least $1,000.
01:35He agreed, considering it an expensive lesson for the day.
01:37As he counted the money, the old man realized the man was wealthy,
01:40and raised the demand to $5,000.
01:42Furious, and understanding that this was outright racketeering,
01:45the man prepared to go to the police station.
01:46But pressed for time, he unwillingly handed over the $5,000,
01:49muttering under his breath that they were social scum,
01:51then rode away on his bicycle.
01:52The old man's family was on their way to sign an $80 million contract
01:55to save their cement factory from bankruptcy.
01:57They had no idea that the man they had just swindled
01:58was the father of the company's CEO.
02:00Later, the old man arrived in front of the company building
02:02and saw a shared bicycle parked at the entrance.
02:04His daughter-in-law noticed that all shared bicycles looked the same
02:06and hurried them inside to sign the contract.
02:08Unbeknownst to them, the man was there to have lunch with his daughter,
02:10who, despite being the company's president,
02:12still liked to personally pick up her father with affection.
02:14As the father and daughter entered the elevator,
02:16the old man's family arrived.
02:17The daughter-in-law then realized that the man from earlier
02:19was actually with the company's president.
