Exposing

"I drove from the opposite direction just now. My car recorded everything that happened earlier. Do you want to see it before speaking up for the old man?" Ye Lin raised his eyebrows.1

"Ah, really?!" Lan Xin instantly smiled.

"Yes, so Grandpa, are you sure you want to call the police?" Ye Lin lowered his head and asked Grandpa.

"I…" For the first time, the uncle's tone became hesitant.

Ye Lin squatted down and reached out a finger to touch the old man's swollen area. He probed under his nose and smiled. "Grandpa, you guys are too serious about acting. At least wait until the smell of the medicine dissipates before lying."

"Medicine smell?" Lan Xin lowered her head, wanting to test it.

The old man was agile and immediately let go of Lan Xin's calf to cover his leg. He said, "You're just bullying me. Can't I have some illnesses and misfortunes despite being dozens of years old? What's wrong with applying some ointment usually?"

"Grandpa, stop pretending. You've been here for a while, but the smell of medicine has not dissipated. You clearly applied some stimulant medicine with a heavy component, okay? That's why your leg is so swollen."

"I see." Lan Xin instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

The uncle was instantly at a loss for words. He started fooling around and said, "The two of you are in cahoots. Everyone, be the judge!"

The surrounding crowd stepped forward and said, "Grandpa is so old. Isn't it normal to use some heavy medicine?"

"Then tell me, what illness does Grandpa have that requires such heavy medicine?" Ye Lin turned and said.

"How would I know? I don't know this old man," the crowd said.

"Oh, is that so?" Ye Lin smiled slyly and looked at the old man. "Then tell me, Grandpa, what illness is it?"

"I…" The old man did not know what to say.

"Why? You haven't discussed this yet?" Ye Lin's smile grew wider, but his eyes were still on the crowd of onlookers. "You came out to cheat without even thinking of the possible consequences of the entire plan. You're really lacking in the standards of a cheat!"

The man in the crowd felt guilty and said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Lin retracted his smile and snorted. He said disdainfully, "Are you still unwilling to admit it?"

"You mean they're in cahoots?" Lan Xin saw through something and asked.

"Smart. Don't you realize that there are more and more people watching? But isn't the one speaking for that old man always the two or three people in front? It's simply to support him," Ye Lin explained.

With that, Lan Xin recalled as well. It seemed like it.

With that, the few of them suddenly ran away.

"Ah, what if they escape?" Lan Xin was a little anxious.

"It's okay. The person involved is still here." Ye Lin grabbed the old man's arm tightly.

It turned out that when Ye Lin was explaining earlier, the old man had also stood up and wanted to run together, but he was caught by Ye Lin, who was the closest to him.

"Brother, I beg you to let me go. I didn't even hurt this young lady." The old man cried again. This time, he no longer had the domineering aura.

"Don't call me brother. I can't afford it!" Ye Lin said.

"Besides, you delayed this lady's work and even frightened her. Shouldn't you compensate her for her lost wages and mental damage?" Ye Lin's voice was fierce.

"Brother, I don't have money. If I had money, I wouldn't do such a scam!" The old man frowned.

"Why don't we let him go? This grandpa is already dozens of years old. His companions even abandoned him and ran away. He's quite pitiful." Lan Xin looked at the old man and suddenly felt a little saintly.

"Then apologize to this lady!" Ye Lin ordered.

"Okay, okay!" The grandpa nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Young lady, I was really blind today. I shouldn't have provoked you…" The old man was interrupted by Ye Lin.

"Be more sincere!" Ye Lin shouted again.
