Chapter 527: Chapter 523 Yang Xiaozhi’s Crisis (one more subscription please)
Yang Xiaozhi is a kind-hearted girl. Seeing the elderly woman had fallen, she ran over without a second thought.
The elderly woman was lying on the ground, her body even convulsing.
Yang Xiaozhi panicked.
"What’s wrong, grandma?"
The elderly woman trembled and said, "I have a heart condition; my medication is in my pocket."
Yang Xiaozhi reached into the elderly woman’s pocket, searching for the medication, but found only a wallet instead.
"Grandma, there’s no medication in your pocket; could you have remembered wrong? Let me call 120 for you."
Saying that, Yang Xiaozhi prepared to stand up.
But as she was about to rise, the elderly woman, who had been barely conscious moments ago, suddenly grabbed Yang Xiaozhi’s wrist.
"You little girl, how can you be so heartless, trying to flee after hitting someone!"
Yang Xiaozhi was stunned.
You obviously fell on your own.
Now, the elderly woman didn’t seem weak at all; in fact, she appeared very spirited.
Her eyes gleamed with malice: "I was walking just fine, and you knocked me down. You can’t leave unless you pay me."
Yang Xiaozhi had seen news about scam artists feigning injury before, but she never imagined she would encounter such a thing herself.
"What nonsense are you talking? You clearly fell on your own, and I came to help you." Yang Xiaozhi argued.
As she spoke, Yang Xiaozhi tried to break free from the elderly woman and leave.
However, the elderly woman’s grip was surprisingly strong, and Yang Xiaozhi couldn’t break free.
The elderly woman gripped her arm tightly while shouting at the passersby.
"So heartless, crashing into someone and running away—this little girl even hit me!"
Yang Xiaozhi was about to explode with anger; even the actors in dramas couldn’t act as well as this elderly woman.
At this moment, Yang Xiaozhi just wanted to break free from the elderly woman behind her.
Just then, a reprimanding voice rang out, "You nasty girl, what have you done to my mom?"
A bald man appeared, glaring fiercely at Yang Xiaozhi.
Yang Xiaozhi quickly said, "I didn’t do anything. She just fell, and I wanted to help her."
The elderly woman cried and wailed, "You city people are so cruel. You clearly knocked me down."
The bald man sneered, "Girl, you knocked someone down and still dare to lie? If you didn’t hit my mom, why did you come over to help her? It must be you."
Faced with the bald man’s accusations, Yang Xiaozhi was speechless.
Is it wrong for me to go help the grandma when I see her fall?
By this time, a crowd had gathered to watch the commotion.
A woman jumped out and pointed at Yang Xiaozhi, saying, "This girl is lying; I definitely saw her hit the person."
"I saw it too; she knocked down the elderly woman and was just rifling through her pockets. Probably wanted to steal money while she was knocked out."
Upon hearing this, people around began to accuse Yang Xiaozhi as well.
"How can this girl be like this?"
"Exactly, so lacking in decency."
"Young people these days."
Yang Xiaozhi was so aggrieved that she cried, "I really didn’t knock her down."
The bald man pointed at Ye Chen coldly, "You little girl are really rotten, hitting my mom and trying to steal money. Figure out how you’re going to resolve this today."
Yang Xiaozhi gritted her teeth and said, "You’re all lying. I didn’t knock her down; she fell herself. I was trying to do a good deed, but she is actually scamming me... I was looking for her medication, not stealing money."
"There is no justice, she clearly knocked me down but won’t admit it."
The elderly woman lay on the ground, crying and wailing, throwing a tantrum.
The woman who jumped out earlier said smugly, "Hmph, young lady, I recorded the process. Still want to argue?"
The woman pulled out her phone to show the people around.
"Look at this girl, going through the elderly woman’s pockets—what else is she doing if not stealing money?"
"Really, this girl looks so innocent yet she’s so evil."
"No wonder she’s wearing a mask and sunglasses, covering herself so tightly. Must be afraid of being caught doing bad deeds."
"We can’t let people like this off."
The crowd around started to scold Yang Xiaozhi.
Yang Xiaozhi couldn’t defend herself, regretting meddling in other people’s business.
Now she finally understands that this was definitely a scam team.
It was a setup from the start.
Yang Xiaozhi could only explain to the people around her, "I really didn’t knock anyone down. She said she had a heart problem and I was helping her find her medication."
Then, an old man walked out of the crowd and pointed at Yang Xiaozhi, scolding, "You still want to argue, people like you spoil social morals."
The old man’s words immediately resonated with the surrounding crowd.
"Exactly, crashing into someone and saying you’re doing a good deed—have some shame!"
"Even trying to steal money from the elderly, it’s just too much."
...
The middle-aged woman smugly said, "I have video evidence and yet this girl argues—it’s unforgivable."
The onlookers’ emotions started to rise.
At this point, the bald man had a smug look on his face, "Hmph, I suspect this girl isn’t a good person. Otherwise, why cover herself so tightly? Let’s take off her mask and sunglasses and see her real face."
The woman agreed, "Yes, expose her so everyone can see."
Yang Xiaozhi became scared after hearing these people’s words.
After all, she is a celebrity. If her sunglasses and mask are taken off, these people will recognize her.
No doubt, if she’s recognized, she’ll definitely be on entertainment headlines the next day.
Worse yet, she’s being falsely accused now, and if it’s reported...
Thinking of the severe consequences, Yang Xiaozhi’s heart sank.
"You’re overreacting; wearing a mask and sunglasses is my personal freedom."
The old man sneered, "Hmph, I bet you’re afraid to be seen—perhaps she’s a fugitive afraid of being recognized by the police."
The crowd, agitated by a few people, started shouting, "Yes, yes, take off her mask and sunglasses. Let’s see if she really is a fugitive."
"Yes, yes, don’t let bad people get away."
The crowd was roused into a frenzy.
Many in the group actually didn’t know the truth, they were just joining in.
Yang Xiaozhi was practically crying in anxiety.
These people were too hateful, constantly inciting the crowd.
Under the crowd’s accusations, the man reached out to grab Yang Xiaozhi.
"You brat, I want to see what you really look like."
Yang Xiaozhi’s face changed, she was doomed.
She even regretted sneaking out.
Just then, as the man reached for Yang Xiaozhi, a cold voice rang out, "Stop."
The man was startled by this stern shout and turned to look behind him.
Ye Chen stood in front of Yang Xiaozhi, "I dare anyone to make a move."
Seeing Ye Chen, Yang Xiaozhi’s previously desperate heart suddenly felt reassured.
"Ye Chen, you’re here."
He had already been furious seeing these people targeting Yang Xiaozhi.
He directly pushed the man’s hand aside, then pushed the elderly woman away.
The crowd’s expressions changed slightly upon seeing the suddenly imposing man.
