Song Yao kept saying, "I don't care about all that. I opened the door for you, I brought you here to look for her. You promised me ten thousand—you're going to give it to me."

After speaking, the other person tried to leave, but Song Yao refused to let him go. With a trembling voice, he said, "If you don't pay me, I'll call the police!"

At the entrance of her apartment complex, Nan Yu told the driver to head back for now and that she'd call him later to come and pick her up.
