334: Extortion

Extortion

Hearing the woman's words, Qin Yan huffed out a burst of angry laughter, "You mentioned rear-ending him yourself. Under traffic laws, if a person collided with someone they were tailgating, it's all their fault. Now, you've admitted to tailgating someone, so you're fully responsible!"

She continued, "You deserve the broken electric-powered scooter. Initially, I wanted to help my grandfather subtly settle the matter, but since you're acting unreasonable, then fine. Now, I want you to compensate my grandfather for his mental trauma and shock."

"Also, since you frightened him, nobody knows if his blood pressure will peak or something. Everyone knows that the elderly are more prone to heart attacks and cerebral hemorrhage if their blood pressure increases. We can only be sure after an MRI scan in the hospital. A local MRI scan costs 700 yuan; two trips cost 1400 yuan. Besides, there's also the payment for specialists, medicine prescription, and rides to the hospital. I'll give you a discount—you'll only have to pay 2000 yuan!"

The woman was baffled by Qin Yan's accusations, "You… You're being unreasonable! What rear-end? I'm just using that as an analogy. I'm not a car. I can't believe you actually brought up traffic laws! Look clearly, this is an electric-powered scooter!"

"Who told you that electric-powered scooters are allowed to break traffic laws?"

"There's no such thing as tailgating for an electric-powered scooter!"

"Even if it's not a tailgating, this is still a collision with pedestrians. According to traffic laws, whether it's a motor or a non-motor vehicle, as long as you hit a pedestrian, you have to take full responsibility. If you don't believe me, I'll call the traffic police now. We'll see whether it's your fault or my grandfather's! At the same time, we'll have the traffic police watch you pay up."

"You… Just you wait!"

The woman panicked when she heard that Qin Yan wanted to bring in the traffic police and demand compensation from her. She started to leave after throwing that angry statement at Qin Yan.

She had only taken two steps when Qin Yan blocked her.

"What are you doing? I didn't even ask you to pay for damaging my scooter, and you're blocking my way. Are you trying to pick a fight?"

The woman's eyes widened into an intimidating glare as she swiped at her shirt, looking like she was about to hit Qin Yan.

"You're going to leave your scooter parts spilled all over the ground like that? The road is already narrow enough. If you're not picking up the pieces, who will?"

"Go away!"

Feeling embarrassed, the woman reached out to push Qin Yan away, but Qin Yan grabbed her instead.

With a light squeeze, the woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Let go! Let go! Let go! Ouch, it hurts!"

Qin Yan looked down at the woman and asked, "Are you going to clean up or not?"

"I will! I will! I'll clean up!"

The woman thought that she was very unlucky to have run into such a strong person. However, since she was a bully who would only bow down to power, she was scared senseless after that pinch from the strong woman.

When all this was going on, the old master started to cry out. He even clutched at his waist as he yelled.

The woman was throwing away a small pile of parts from the electric-powered scooter when she jumped in shock at the old master's sudden yell while clutching his waist. Afraid that Qin Yan would demand her to pay for the old master's medical fees, she took the opportunity to throw the trash away and distanced herself from Qin Yan.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Qin Yan could not help getting anxious.

After all, the elderly could suffer from shortness of breath after experiencing a shock. Coincidentally, the old master was also suffering from shortness of breath.

At this moment, he was in such pain that his expression transformed.

The old master wanted to call for help, but he was in such pain that even his breathing felt constricted. How could he speak now?

Would he die before his granddaughter-in-law today?

Qin Yan immediately helped the old master onto a stone bench.

"Grandfather, bear with it. Put your hand here."

Qin Yan supported the old master on the stone bench with one hand and lifted up a corner of his shirt with the other. The bodyguards first didn't think that Old Master's problem was a serious one.

However, as they continued watching, they realized that something was really wrong. Before they could stop Qin Yan, she had already stuck a silver needle into his waist.

"Stop!"

The bodyguards were aghast. Two of them quickly ran forward to stop Qin Yan.

"Shut up!"

Seeing that one of them was about to touch her hand, Qin Yan barked a stern rebuke that shocked the man into hesitation.

However, these were the guards who stayed by the old master's side. They were trained in the special forces for a long time. In fact, some of the older ones had even experienced several assassinations. Who were they to be stopped by Qin Yan just because she yelled at them to shut up?

Qin Yan knew that this would not intimidate them, so she said immediately, "He's suffering from shortness of breath now and can't speak properly. If you don't let me insert these needles, his muscles will be cramped for a long time. Besides, he's aged, so it's very easy for him to suffer major side effects. It's even possible for him to suffer from hemiplegia."

When the guards heard that, they were frightened.

One of them asked, "Then, do you really know acupuncture?"

"Mmm."

Seeing Qin Yan nod her head, everyone believed her. After all, she was the future granddaughter-in-law of the old master. The old master meant to dote on her endlessly—she was the future matriarch of the Xi family who would carry on the family line for the old master and the young master.

After Qin Yan inserted three needles into the old master's body, the old master was surprised to find that he could breathe smoothly again. His body, which had been in so much pain just now, gradually stopped hurting. Moreover, he could move again.

It was a miracle.

The old master could not help but applaud his grandson! He actually found this old man such a beautiful granddaughter-in-law who could perform acupuncture for him!

"Grandpa, don't move. Just maintain this posture for three minutes."

"Okay, okay, okay!" The old man quickly cooperated and told the guards, "Don't make a big fuss. You can't believe how nimble my granddaughter-in-law's hands are. I couldn't even breathe earlier, but after she inserted these needles into me, I instantly felt better."

"Yes," The two guards stood in a single file and looked at Qin Yan with admiration.

The young master's future wife was indeed extraordinary.

Those onlookers who had been out for a walk that night, that had not dispersed from the scene had their eyes lit up when they saw what happened. They quickly came over to watch.

"Sir, do you really feel fine?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine! Just now, I suddenly sprained my waist, and then I felt a shortness of breath. I couldn't breathe. But the moment the needles came in, I immediately recovered. I recovered so quickly I don't feel any symptoms anymore. She must be a miracle doctor!"

The old master was definitely fated to be a chatterbox, especially if it was related to his granddaughter-in-law. Soon enough, he joined the crowd in the ruckus.

"Grandpa, you can move a little now. If there's no problem, we can remove the needles in two minutes."

"Okay."

The old master was extremely pleased with Qin Yan. Following Qin Yan's instructions, he straightened his back and did two chest-stretching exercises.

Seeing the silver needles around his waist, the guards were extremely nervous, afraid that the old master would sprain his waist severely.

After twisting a few times, the old master's eyes lit up, "It doesn't hurt anymore, Yan Yan! It really doesn't hurt anymore! It's amazing! It's amazing!"

At this moment, the old master was looking at his granddaughter-in-law—he almost lit three incense sticks on her forehead.

He felt that the Xi family had picked up a treasure!

"As long as you're not hurting anymore," Then, Qin Yan removed the three needles from the old man's waist and put them back into her bracelet.

"Sir, have you really recovered?" A man in the surrounding asked.1

"Yes, yes! I'm good!" The old man was overjoyed.

"Miss, since you're so good at acupuncture, why don't you take a look at this for me? My knee hurts especially when it rains."

"Miss, let me take a look too. My back hurts."

"Miss…"

In an instant, Qin Yan was tightly surrounded by the crowd. Facing these neighbors, she was caught in a dilemma—she could neither reject nor accept their requests.

Seeing how things unfurled, the old master hurriedly attempted to put things into order.
