The man with the fierce expression on his face had truly turned black.

That expression... it wasn't exactly one of pain, but it was also strangely intense and contorted.

Moreover, he stood there frozen, maintaining the posture of throwing a punch at Yu Shuyan, without making a move for a long time.

The only eye that could move was now fixed on Yu Shuyan, its gaze filled with malice, yet also with a hint of fear that it couldn't hide.

The disheveled woman, who had just gotten up and was wiping blood from her nose, couldn't see the big man because she was standing behind him. She urged him on:

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give us the silver notes, let's snatch them back!"

After waiting a while, seeing that the big man still didn't move, I couldn't help but reach out and push him.

"I said, hurry up!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was so frightened that she froze on the spot.

The burly man with the dark face lost his balance when she pushed him, and fell straight to the ground in that stiff posture.

The woman took a while to react, screaming "Ahhh!" and taking several steps back. She pointed at Yu Wantao, then at Yu Shuyan, swallowing hard for a long time before finally uttering a sound:

"Ah~ Murder~ They killed someone~"

"Help! Murder!"

Yu Shuyan was quite frightened when she saw her, and her heart stirred slightly.

From an angle unseen by others, he stared at her coldly and took a few steps closer.

The woman trembled with fear. Disregarding everything else, she desperately pushed her away, stepped on the dark-faced man's face, and rushed out.

He rushed straight towards the man in white, crying out:

"Qin Dalang, save me! She's trying to kill me!"

As she spoke, ignoring Qin Dalang's gesturing look, she hid behind him and clung tightly to his sleeve.

A look of disgust flashed in Qin Dalang's eyes:

The woman actually rushed over and called out his name.

He desperately wanted to strangle her right then and there. Wasn't this blatantly telling everyone that they knew each other?

A smile appeared on Yu Shuyan's lips beneath the veil; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Just now, when that dark-faced burly man rushed towards her...

A slight stirring occurred to her heart:

How can you immobilize someone without taking their life?

Immediately, silver needles appeared in her hand, along with the acupuncture point chart that floated in the air, invisible to others.

Even more remarkably, on the dark-faced burly man she had targeted, there was a clearly visible acupoint.

Just before the burly man with the dark face was about to grab her, she subtly and quickly inserted silver needles into the acupoints in sequence.

Immediately, the dark-faced giant transformed back into the same appearance he had just shown.

Even more amazingly, the silver needle, after being inserted into the acupoint, was so clearly visible, yet no one could see it at all.

She had just deliberately frightened the woman because she suspected that the woman was connected to Qin Dalang, the man in white in the crowd.

Sure enough, she had just confessed without being asked.

Yu Shuyan didn't hold back either, looking at them with direct mockery:

"Oh, it seems you two know each other!"

The onlookers, already curious, watched as the so-called peasant woman clung tightly to the fair-skinned scholar.

Yu Shuyan's words only deepened the doubts in their eyes.

Qin Dalang panicked. His eyes darted around, but he spread his arms to protect the peasant woman behind him, staring at Yu Shuyan warily.

"Don't try to distract me, you vicious woman. You must have been hired by Boss Yu. You didn't want to pay, fine, but now you dare to kill someone in broad daylight. This lady must have been terrified by you to come to me for help. Let me tell you, as long as we're here, we'll never let you hurt anyone again."

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd:

"Don't you all agree?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's passion for justice was reignited.

"That's right, that's right, how can you hurt people?"

"Mr. Yu, I never expected you to be this kind of person. Who would dare to come to your Yu's Pharmacy from now on?"

"That's right, report it to the authorities immediately, report it to the authorities immediately."

"They botched their treatment, refused to admit it, and then actually dared to kill someone! This isn't just a mistake, this is downright shady!"

······

As the crowd grew increasingly animated, a venomous glint flashed in Qin Dalang's eyes:

You little punks, trying to mess with me? I'll make you pay!

Yu Wantao was extremely anxious, frowning as he stared at Yu Shuyan:

"Young lady, I'm begging you, please don't get involved. A little money would have settled it. Now you've caused such a huge mess, alas, what are we going to do!"

Despite Yu Shuyan's alleged murder, the kind-hearted Yu Wantao did not intend to sever ties with her.

Yu Shuyan knew he was anxious and afraid he might worry himself sick, so she quickly said:

"'Murder'? What kind of talk is that!"

Yu Wantao pointed to the motionless, dark-faced man on the ground:

"Then him?"

Yu Shuyan shrugged:

"He's probably getting his comeuppance for all the bad things he's done. But evil deeds last a thousand years; he's not going to die so easily!"

Upon hearing her words, Yu Wantao stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the dark-faced man before unconsciously letting out a sigh of relief.

He stood up and addressed the crowd of onlookers:

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. This gentleman is fine, nothing's wrong with him."

Qin Dalang snorted coldly:

"Boss Yu, you really know how to lie through your teeth. A perfectly healthy person suddenly collapses without moving. Even if they're not dead, something's definitely wrong. Could it be that you've poisoned them again?!"

As he spoke, he subtly tapped the woman's hand with his fan.

The woman snapped out of her daze, now regretting how she had been so frightened by such a vile woman. A malice flashed in her eyes, and she plopped down on the ground, bursting into tears.

"This is outrageous! Everyone, please be the judge! My man has already been brought to the brink of death by them. Now, my brother has been poisoned and is lying on the ground, unable to get up. Is there no justice left? Everyone, please help me judge this!"

The onlookers looked at the woman with pity in their eyes.

They then took turns criticizing Yu Wantao and Yu's Pharmacy.

Yu Wantao's face was extremely pale.

Yu Shuyan felt sorry for him, her eyes hardened, and her voice was icy cold:

"Enough, all of you, shut up!"

Qin Dalang was secretly delighted; the more volatile her temper, the easier it would be for him to manipulate public opinion. He sighed with feigned sympathy:

"Sigh, things have come to this point; your anger won't solve anything. I suggest that Mr. Yu quickly demonstrate genuine sincerity and beg for the victim's forgiveness. If your sincerity is sufficient, I can also help you reconcile..."

Yu Shuyan stared at him with disgust:

"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll make sure you can never speak again!"

Qin Dalang clearly hadn't expected this woman to be so stubborn and unyielding, and her words were even more malicious:

"Oh dear, what a wicked person! With so many of us here, she still dares to be so arrogant and threatening. It's unimaginable what kind of dirty tricks they wouldn't do behind our backs. This isn't a pharmacy; it's a ruthless black market that kills without blinking an eye."

Yu Shuyan was so angry that she almost wanted to pull out a needle to silence him.

It seems that the decline of the Yu family pharmacy in the previous life was definitely due to this person's instigation.

"The constables are here!"

With a loud shout, the crowd parted to make way, and four or five constables strode in menacingly.

Yu Shuyan's brows suddenly furrowed:

In my past life, it seems that no officials were involved.

Moreover, judging from the expression on the leader of the police, they were clearly up to no good!
