The burly man with the dark face was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

He turned his head angrily and saw a woman with a veil covering her face, her features obscured, holding up a silver note and looking at him with a smile in her eyes.

The burly, dark-faced man was furious that his prize had slipped through his fingers; he roared in anger:

"Where did you come from, you worthless wretch? Give me the silver notes!"

The masked woman was none other than Yu Shuyan.

She had actually arrived long ago, but she had been standing quietly in the crowd, observing the people there.

Since she felt there must be a mastermind behind this, she naturally wanted to observe whether that person was present at the scene.

Upon this observation, she discovered something fishy.

The white-clad man in the crowd who was leading the commotion was very suspicious.

The behavior of the victim's relatives was even more unusual.

Also, the mention of that miracle doctor sparked a thought in her mind.

However, seeing Yu Wantao about to give the burly, dark-faced man a silver note, she didn't have time to think. She grabbed a light veil from a nearby stall, put it on, and rushed forward.

Yu Shuyan waved the silver note in her hand and shook her head:

"No, I just said I want this silver note!"

The burly man with the dark face was so angry that his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

"I'm telling you, if you don't give it to me, even if you're a woman, I'll beat you up!"

The woman who had been lying on the patient no longer had time to cry. She quietly stood up and moved towards Yu Shuyan, who had her back to her.

The target was clearly Yu Shuyan, holding up a stack of silver notes.

However, at the moment she seized the opportunity and pounced.

Yu Shuyan slipped and easily dodged it.

The woman, having exerted too much force, lost her balance and stumbled, falling face-first to the ground. Blood gushed from her nose, and she screamed in pain, this time truly crying.

Yu Shuyan feigned surprise:

"Oh dear, weren't you taking care of your husband? Why are you suddenly coming towards me? What are you trying to do?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the silver notes in his hand and exclaimed loudly and exaggeratedly:

"Oh, so you're here for the silver notes! Oh dear, your husband's practically half-dead, lying there. You were just crying your eyes out, how could you possibly be thinking about these silver notes? It seems these silver notes are far more important than your husband!"

As he spoke, he waved the silver notes at the onlookers:

"Don't you all agree?"

Those watching, looking into the woman's eyes, also began to have doubts:

"Yes! If she really cared about her man, why would she bother robbing banknotes?"

"Yes, yes, that's really true. You can't judge a book by its cover."

"Could it be that they really came here to extort money?"

"That's hard to say. After all, you can only know a person's face, not their heart!"

······

Hearing the crowd's discussion, both the burly man with the dark face and the woman looked extremely grim. However, for a moment, they seemed unsure how to refute the comments.

The burly, dark-faced man was short-tempered. He pointed at the onlookers, clearly preparing to unleash a torrent of abuse.

Yu Shuyan was secretly delighted; what she wanted was their anger.

Once anger takes hold, one can no longer pretend and is more likely to reveal their ugly side.

However, the man in white in the crowd spoke first:

"Hey, young lady, I think the most ridiculous person is you. This person is waiting for money to save their life, and you inexplicably run out and snatch their silver notes. Isn't that robbing her husband of his hope of survival? This woman, struggling to get up and snatching the silver notes, I think, is not what you say, someone who only cares about money. On the contrary, she is fighting for her husband's little bit of hope to live."

Reminded of this, the woman immediately realized what was happening. She sat down on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and pointed at Yu Shuyan:

"I was just so worried about my husband, how could you slander me like this? We may be poor, but doesn't a poor person's life have a life? Doesn't a poor person's dignity have dignity? Can we just be so easily poisoned and smeared like this?! Is there no law anymore?! Ah! I... I don't want to live anymore!"

The onlookers started whispering again:

"Yes, they're right. Those aren't just banknotes; they're her husband's hope for survival."

"Yeah, where did this woman come from? How can she be so shameless? She robbed someone's money and then slandered their sincerity."

"Oh dear, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest."

"Quickly return the silver notes to them, they're waiting for help!"

······

More and more voices echoed this sentiment.

The man in white, seeing that the time was right, snapped his folding fan shut with a "clatter," tapped it on his palm, and then, feigning surprise, loudly proclaimed:

"Okay, I understand!"

The onlookers all looked at him curiously, clearly wondering what he had discovered.

The man in white was satisfied with the crowd's reaction, having piqued their interest, before he spoke:

"This woman, could it be that Boss Yu hired her just to joke around and avoid paying?"

Everyone seemed to have been suddenly enlightened.

Everyone's eyes were darting back and forth between Yu Wantao and Yu Shuyan.

His eyes were filled with undisguised suspicion.

Some people even started shouting:

"They usually look so respectable, I never expected them to be such hypocrites. They value money more than human lives. Who would dare to come to a pharmacy like this?"

"Yes, we should return the banknotes to them immediately; they are their life-saving money."

"Pay back the money quickly."

······

The man in white had a smug look in his eyes. He opened his folding fan with a "whoosh" and waved it with a very elegant and carefree air.

Yu Wantao was just wondering where this woman came from and why she was getting involved in this matter.

However, he couldn't discern her true intentions, especially when she accused the woman of wanting money over people. Deep down, he felt a sense of satisfaction, even hoping she could help expose their true colors.

However, seeing the situation escalate, the crowd became even more agitated.

Unable to resist, he looked at Yu Shuyan with embarrassment:

"Young lady, we don't seem to know each other. You've come here and caused such a scene. Whatever your purpose, please don't interfere anymore."

The burly, dark-faced man, seeing that Yu Wantao had backed down, became even more aggressive and stretched out his large hand towards Yu Shuyan:

"We'll deal with you later, you little bitch. Hand over the silver notes!"

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow, waved the silver note in her hand, and made a gesture as if to hand it to the dark-faced man.

The burly, dark-faced man glared at her smugly and reached out to take it.

However, just as she was about to touch the silver note, Yu Shuyan pulled it back again.

The burly man with a dark face, having been tricked twice in a row, finally lost his temper and charged at Yu Shuyan, swinging his fists.

Like a ferocious beast, it wants to tear apart its prey.

Some of the onlookers gasped in surprise. After all, with her small frame, it was hard to imagine whether Yu Shuyan could withstand a beating from the burly man with the dark face.

However, what happened next made everyone stare in astonishment:

How could this be?
