For a moment, everyone had different expressions.

Iron-fisted constable was impatient:

"What happened?"

Yu Shuyan smiled faintly:

"I can vouch for him; he wasn't poisoned!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the tension in Qin Dalang and the others' eyes instantly turned into mocking smiles:

Proving someone is sick is easy, but proving someone isn't sick is not so easy. After all, it's very difficult to wake someone who is pretending to be asleep!

Iron-haired scalp smiled insincerely:

"Very well, remember this: if you can't prove it, I'll smash your mouth open right now!"

A smug and malicious smile crept onto the woman's lowered lips.

Qin Dalang, on the other hand, nonchalantly opened his folding fan and leisurely began to fan himself. It seemed he was mocking her ignorance and naiveté.

Yu Wantao sighed deeply, clearly feeling that Yu Shuyan had no chance of succeeding.

Yu Shuyan paid no attention to the reactions of the crowd. She simply walked slowly to the sick man and calmly squatted down beside him.

Then, he made a move that left everyone speechless.

She patted the man's chest lightly and said casually:

"Stop pretending and get up!"

In an instant, the crowd of onlookers erupted in a cacophony of noise.

Some people even laughed out loud.

Qin Dalang's lips curled into a mocking smile as he loudly proclaimed:

"I suggest you shout louder. Maybe you'll actually wake them up!"

Iron-faced Constable's eyes also held a hint of mockery, but he coldly snorted:

"I think you're scared out of your wits. Otherwise, you're just playing us brothers for fools. Alright, brothers, let's slap her mouth shut first."

Several constables' eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty excitement. They drew their bamboo clappers from their waists and walked towards Yu Shuyan.

In the crowd, some women even covered their children's eyes.

However, just as those constables reached out to grab Yu Shuyan, they were about to pull her away.

The man on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. He scrambled to his feet and ran around the room, shouting:

"Ugh, it's so itchy, it's really so itchy~~~"

"Quick, quick, scratch me, it's so itchy!"

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Except for the man's shouting.

Yu Shuyan simply followed the instructions and used silver needles to prick acupoints, making him unbearably itchy and unable to pretend to be dead anymore.

Yu Shuyan stood up and looked at the head constable:

"See, I told you I could prove it. Now, can you release Boss Yu?"

Her calm voice brought everyone back to their senses from their shock.

"No, no, no, how could this be? How could this happen!"

The woman screamed as if she had seen a ghost.

It's not her fault. That burly, dark-faced man collapsed inexplicably because of Yu Shuyan. And now, this person who should be lying down is running around aimlessly because of her.

Her entire worldview was about to collapse.

How could she not be incoherent, she was terrified.

Yu Shuyan looked at her calmly:

"What's wrong? Your husband's better now, shouldn't you be happy? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Her reminder made everyone realize that something was wrong with her. This, coupled with Yu Shuyan's gradual build-up earlier, further highlighted her unease.

At this point, everyone understood perfectly well, and they all stared at her with disdain.

"I never expected it to be a scam!"

"How vicious! To do such a shameless thing for money."

"I never expected there would actually be such shameless people."

······

Although the head constable's face was extremely ugly and his teeth were grinding, he reluctantly nodded to the two constables escorting Yu Wantao.

The constable reluctantly released Yu Wantao's arm, which he had been twisting.

Yu Wantao was completely bewildered, unable to understand how he had just almost lost everything and even faced imprisonment.

Suddenly, everything was fine.

The head constable coldly glanced at Yu Shuyan, then looked at Yu Wantao:

"Although today's incident was a misunderstanding, your Yu's Pharmacy still needs to operate more cautiously in the future. Don't cause us any trouble!"

After saying that, without waiting for Yu Wantao's reaction, he turned around and was about to leave with the constables.

Yu Shuyan, however, spoke loudly:

"Don't rush off, Officer Tie."

The head constable paused, frowned, and turned around:

"Anything else?"

Ignoring the anger in his eyes, Yu Shuyan smiled faintly:

"Of course. You just said something wrong. This is not a misunderstanding."

Qin Dalang, who was in the crowd, sensed something was wrong. Although there was a deep sense of resentment in his eyes, he still slowly backed away, clearly wanting to run away.

Yu Shuyan, however, didn't give him a chance and shouted directly at him:

"What, is Qin Dalang trying to run away?"

Instantly, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Dalang.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Qin Dalang's eyes, but he feigned ignorance and looked at Yu Shuyan:

"Run? Why would I run? I just have some things to take care of at home."

Yu Shuyan scoffed:

"You've been watching and acting here for so long, and your family isn't in a hurry. But now that things are about to be exposed, your family is in a real emergency!"

Instantly, disdain began to appear in everyone's eyes as they looked at Qin Dalang.

Obviously, anyone could see that he was up to something.

Feeling the disdainful looks from everyone, Qin Dalang could no longer hide his panic, but he still forced himself to say:

"What? You think you can control everything, but you can't control other people's business? I'm leaving now, so shut up."

After saying that, he turned around and tried to run away again.

Yu Shuyan, however, looked at the man who was already rolling on the ground, itching uncontrollably:

"If you don't want to keep itching, tell everyone what your relationship is with that person!"

The man, as if grasping at a straw, stared at Qin Dalang and shouted:

"Qin Dalang, it was him, it was him who gave us money to come here and extort money from us. Please, please help me stop itching, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore."

Qin Dalang's face turned deathly pale in an instant. He desperately tried to push the crowd away and run away, but they held him tightly, and he couldn't break free at all.

Yu Shuyan glanced at the head constable at the opportune moment:

"Officer Tie, you heard that, didn't you? I believe you will definitely seek justice for us law-abiding citizens!"

The head constable's face flushed red and then turned pale. Although he was extremely unwilling, he still forced a smile.

"That's natural."

After speaking, he gave instructions to the constables behind him:

"Take them all back!"

After saying that, he gave Yu Shuyan a cold look, then turned and left quickly.

The constables obediently took away the woman, the dark-faced man, the man who was still itching and at a loss, and Qin Dalang from the crowd.

Yu Shuyan squinted as they left.

His brows furrowed:

Who exactly is behind them?

She had considered the possibility of Wen Lang. However, Wen Lang was merely a scholar. If he had already begun plotting against the Yu family now, then Wen Lang was truly far too cunning and shrewd.
