After the service department inspected the car, they replied, "The car body is seriously damaged, and some components may need to be shipped from the headquarters. It will take a week before you can get your car."

Qin Mu nodded. A week was actually quite fast.

Meanwhile, he also asked the service department to provide a detailed list of the repair parts. The car body was damaged, and it was clearly not economical to repair. The only option was to replace the entire car body. He needed this detailed list so that he could have clear evidence of the exact damages he sustained during the trial.

「The third day.」

Mountain and Water Garden District. Building 10, Apartment 2801.

Bai Shuirong was at home as usual, taking care of her grandson. Watching her grandson bounce around the house wildly, she couldn't help but show a doting smile. She didn't care at all about the feelings of the residents downstairs.

Those nine car owners were all bark and no bite, just bullying an honest person. Thankfully, I wasn't intimidated by them at the time.

Bai Shuirong recalled the events of the past few days and couldn't help but snort coldly. Her grandson is only six years old. It was wrong for him to scratch the cars while playing, but these people have no generosity at all! They kept blaming him and even demanded he pay them money. Luckily, I stood my ground, so I didn't end up paying unjustly. Never mind seven or eight hundred thousand; I wouldn't pay a dime over ten thousand! And sure enough, none of them came to cause trouble the whole of yesterday. The homeowners' group chat was peaceful too. Nobody mentioned the car-scratching incident. It seems they realized they were in the wrong and felt too embarrassed to ask for compensation anymore.

However, in the afternoon, a postal worker delivered a package, specifically instructing Zhang He to sign for it. Zhang He was her son, the father of her grandson. But since her son was at work, she, as his direct relative, could sign on his behalf.

What's this package?

With curiosity and confusion, she opened the package addressed to the specific recipient. She discovered it contained mainly two documents: a summons and a copy of the complaint. The summons bore the stamp of the Jin City grassroots court. It clearly stated that her grandson had intentionally damaged other people's property, leading to a civil dispute, and that his legal guardian, Zhang He, was required to participate in the civil lawsuit. The plaintiff section clearly listed nine names. In the claims section, they demanded compensation for car damage, mental anguish, and loss of earnings, totaling 1.09 million! The event description attributed all blame to them for improper guidance and inadequate supervision of the child. The court date was set for three days later!

This… wasn't it supposed to be around seven or eight hundred thousand? How did it suddenly jump to 1.09 million?

Bai Shuirong swallowed hard, suddenly panic-stricken. They didn't cause any trouble all day yesterday. I thought they had given up. I can't believe it… on the third day, I receive a summons from the court! And the lawsuit demands are even more outrageous, jumping to 1.09 million!

Thinking this, she took out her mobile phone and started accusing Qin Mu and others in the homeowners' group chat.

"We're all neighbors, seeing each other daily. Is it necessary to take things this far?"

"The day before yesterday, you were talking about seven or eight hundred thousand, and just two days later, it's jumped to 1.09 million! You really know how to exploit the situation!"

"A child made such a small mistake, and you just won't let it go!"

"Weren't you children once? Didn't you make mistakes when you were young?"

"1.09 million! I can't believe you have the nerve to ask for that much!"

"I'm telling you, don't think you've already won just because you've taken us to court. My nephew is a well-known attorney in Jin City, Zhang Wei!"

"There's no way we'll lose a lawsuit against people like you!"

With a surge of indignation and rage, she vented furiously in the homeowners' group chat, continuously flooding the screen. Even after receiving the court summons, she showed no remorse or apology. She still felt she was not in the wrong.

PS: Sorry, today's chapter was written a bit late.

I've repaid one chapter, so I still owe eight.

But if we go by the "nine out, thirteen back" high-interest principle that everyone's joking about, then I suppose I owe twelve chapters.

Guanyu will continue to repay them.
