"Wang Xiangqin, stop spouting nonsense..." Li Yang knew she was trying to frame him and quickly said, "I didn’t harass you."
But it was no use. A crowd instantly formed, pointing accusingly at Li Yang.
"So young and already up to no good. To think he’d come here to harass someone."
"Yeah! Call the police! This guy is obviously not a good person!"
...
"He harassed me, opened my fitting room door, and even touched me!" Wang Xiangqin absolutely loathed Li Yang.
Fang Ping had called her just before this, telling her everything and chewing her out. Only then did she realize it was all because of Li Yang; everything she’d done had been exposed.
Furious, she had come here to buy clothes and blow off some steam. But as she was changing, she happened to see Li Yang in the store, and a vengeful plan immediately formed in her mind.
"Wang Xiangqin, I didn’t fucking touch you!" Li Yang cursed in a rage.
"Sir..." The store manager walked over and blocked Li Yang’s path, her expression grim. "You need to take responsibility for this."
The others all nodded in agreement.
"I didn’t touch her! She’s the one who opened the door and pulled me over to touch her!" Li Yang fumed.
"That’s ridiculous. Why would a woman do something like that?" someone in the crowd immediately shot back.
"She’s trying to frame me!"
"HA HA..." The onlookers shot Li Yang looks of pure disdain.
Clearly, no one believed him.
Wang Xiangqin’s face was full of smug satisfaction. ’Now let’s see what you’re going to do!’
Li Yang was at a loss. After all, there were no security cameras. How could he possibly prove his innocence?
Just then, Li Yang spotted a red line on Wang Xiangqin’s body. He abruptly looked up and said, "Wang Xiangqin, you’re going to be punished for spouting these lies. I can see your stomach is in a great deal of discomfort. I’m a doctor. If you tell the truth, I can save you. But if you don’t, when your ailment flares up in a moment, I won’t lift a finger to help."
"Just look at him..." Wang Xiangqin said to the crowd. "Now he’s trying to threaten me. You tell me, is this how a decent person acts?"
"Exactly! What kind of man is he? Someone call the police already!" an indignant person in the crowd exclaimed.
The crowd began to point and mutter, their anger growing.
Wang Xiangqin felt a wave of smug satisfaction, feeling she had finally vented her anger. ’Oh, Li Yang,’ she thought, ’let’s see what you do now.’
But just at that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and buckled over.
Unable to keep her balance, she collapsed to the floor.
Instantly, the pain caused beads of sweat to break out on her forehead.
The crowd, startled, all took a step back.
"Wang Xiangqin..." Li Yang let out a cold smirk. "Your stomach hurts now, doesn’t it? Let me tell you, that’s an acute gastrointestinal attack. Don’t take it lightly. If it’s not handled properly, you could die right on the spot. Looking at your condition, I’d say you’ll lose the ability to speak within a minute. If you hold out for another three minutes and an ambulance doesn’t arrive with a doctor to give you proper medical care, you will most certainly die."
"You’re lying..." Of course Wang Xiangqin didn’t believe him. Enduring the pain, she pointed at Li Yang and said, "You’re just trying to trick me, aren’t you? I’m telling you, he’s the one who harassed me—"
But as she was speaking, she suddenly found that she truly couldn’t talk anymore.
The people around her stared in horror, unable to comprehend what was happening.
"That young man was actually right!"
"My god, that’s incredible. He knew in advance how her condition would progress."
"It’s over, it’s over... She’s not going to make it..."
...
Fragments of their conversation reached Wang Xiangqin’s ears, and she began to panic as well.
"If you’re willing to tell the truth, I’ll treat you. Otherwise, even an ambulance won’t be able to save you now!" Li Yang said, his face a blank mask. "If you agree, just nod your head."
Gripped by the fear of death, how could Wang Xiangqin dare to argue? She just nodded her head frantically.
Only then did Li Yang step forward and press several points on her body with his fingertips.
Wang Xiangqin felt her entire body relax as the pain eased considerably. She could even speak again.
"Alright, start talking..." Li Yang wasn’t a fool. He said, "You can talk now, after all."
