The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 70 Mind Your Own Business

Lin Xiaoyin smoothed things over.

"Alright, you two, say less. Let's go pay the medical bills first."

Pushing open the door to the ward, a young man with a ruddy complexion but tightly closed eyes lay on the bed.

Yang Zhen remembered that face. The last time he saw him, he had run into the middle of the road.

Through the car window, Yang Zhen could see the terror on his face.

A woman was sitting next to the hospital bed.

Hearing the door open, the woman stood up, her tone very unfriendly.

"Why are you only here now? I've been calling for ages!"

Lin Xiaoyin quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, we were delayed on the way. Don't worry, I'll give you the medical bills right away."

Lin Xiaolan was expressionless and said coldly, "What's your card number? I'll transfer the money to you."

While the others were talking, Yang Zhen sat down by the bed and touched the patient's wrist.

He originally had good intentions, wanting to see how the patient was doing.

But with this touch, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Xiaolan, don't transfer her the money yet!"

His shout startled the woman.

She looked flustered and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Yang Zhen glanced at her. "I know a little bit about medicine and want to see how the patient really is!"

The Lin Xiaoyin sisters were confused. When did Yang Zhen know about medicine? Wasn't he always just a programmer?

At this time, the woman seemed to have been stepped on her tail and frantically pushed Yang Zhen out.

"Who told you to look? Get out of here!"

During the process, the woman let out a surprised cry.

"Hey? Aren't you the one who caused the accident? You've woken up?"

"You murderer, look at what you've done. My husband has been lying in the hospital for six whole months."

"And you're doing well, you actually woke up first!"

"I want you to pay money, I want you to pay with your life!"

The woman was like a crazy shrew, scratching and clawing at Yang Zhen.

For a time, chaos erupted, and the situation nearly spiraled out of control.

"Xiaolan, quickly transfer the money to her, Yang Zhen, you leave quickly, don't provoke the patient's family anymore!"

Yang Zhen shouted, "Don't transfer her the money!"

"Are you done yet, you good-for-nothing? I'm ashamed enough, so stop already!"

"You don't have to pay the money, so why are you barking like a dog?"

Lin Xiaolan was exasperated.

Why did her sister find such a brother-in-law!

It was bad enough that he was useless, but he was also uncouth, unreasonable, and shameless.

At this moment, Yang Zhen's body shook, knocking the shrew to the ground.

The shrew sat on the ground and howled.

"Murder, this murderer, he wants to kill someone to silence them, help..."

Lin Xiaoyin was in a state of bewilderment. She really couldn't understand what Yang Zhen was doing.

She once suspected that Yang Zhen had slept for six months and damaged his brain.

But Yang Zhen ignored it and grabbed the patient's collar.

Frowning, he roared, "Beast, aren't you going to wake up?"

The shrew pounced on Yang Zhen like a mad dog.

Lin Xiaoyin and Lin Xiaolan looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Yang Zhen was even more excessive, slapping the patient's face.

*Pa!*

With a crisp sound, five finger marks appeared on the patient's face.

The shrew was almost hanging on Yang Zhen's back, grabbing his hair.

With a thought, Yang Zhen suddenly shook the shrew off.

Raising his palm, he roared, "You shrew, I, Yang Zhen, have never hit a woman, but today you are the exception!"

His palm was raised high, but before he could strike, a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Don't, don't hit my wife!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Because the person speaking was the patient who had been in a coma for half a year.

Lin Xiaoyin was dumbfounded. "You, you, how did you wake up?"

The shrew sighed with hatred, "You good-for-nothing, you can't even pretend to be dead, what else can you do?"

The patient's face turned red and he stammered.

"I, I was afraid he would hit you..."

At this point, the truth was revealed.

Lin Xiaolan's eyebrows stood on end: "Good, you two, pretending to be sick to swindle money!"

Lin Xiaoyin looked puzzled and whispered, "Yang Zhen, how did you know he was faking it?"

Yang Zhen said calmly, "I saw two sets of chopsticks with the leftover food on the corner of the table."

Lin Xiaoyin suddenly understood that if only one person was eating, naturally there would be no need for two sets of chopsticks.

It seemed that the young man had been awake for a long time, but she had been kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyin couldn't help but feel ashamed.

However, she didn't know that Yang Zhen knew the man was pretending to be sick just by taking his pulse.

It was just that there was no need to say such a thing, and even if he did, others might not believe him.

At this time, the young man said tremblingly:

"It's not that we're deceiving you, we're just cooperating with Cao Dapeng in acting. All the conspiracies are his fault."

Yang Zhen's pupils shrank. It really was that beast.

In order to force Lin Xiaoyin to submit, he used every means possible!

Lin Xiaolan was aggressive and shouted:

"Stop talking nonsense, you have to spit out the 100,000 yuan a month that you swallowed!"

The man's face turned pale, and he trembled:

"Miss, listen to my explanation. Cao Dapeng falsely claimed that he would pay 100,000 yuan in medical expenses for you every month, but he only gave me 10,000 yuan and told me to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick!"

"You want us to spit out the money, but we can't get it out!"

Lin Xiaolan sneered, "Can't get it out? That's easy. I'll report it to the authorities right away. If you have any difficulties, go tell the judge!"

The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud:

"Grandma, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again!"

"I beg you, please don't report it to the authorities. I still have an eighty-year-old mother who is bedridden. I took this heinous deal in order to treat her illness!"

"If things are exposed and reach her ears, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to bear it!"

"As long as you don't report the case, I'll be your slave!"

Lin Xiaolan coldly took out her phone.

"What happens to your old mother has nothing to do with me? I don't need a piece of trash like you even as a slave!"

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly spit out the money, or I'll report the case immediately!"

The man begged bitterly, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

His head was broken, and crimson bloodstains were left on the ground.

Yang Zhen couldn't bear it anymore and said softly, "Enough!"

The man looked up and looked at Yang Zhen blankly.

Yang Zhen waved his hand, "You can go. Because of your filial piety, I'll spare you this time. If you commit it again in my hands, I will never tolerate it!"

"Thank you, benefactor, thank you, thank you..."

The young man was grateful and wept, kowtowing constantly, with blood and tears flowing.

If the shrew hadn't pulled him away in time, he would have probably kowtowed himself to death on the spot.

Lin Xiaolan was puzzled and scolded Yang Zhen:

"Yang Zhen, are you sick? You let them go before you got the money back?"

Yang Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as indifferent as water.

"This debt was incurred by Cao Dapeng. If I want to settle it, I will naturally go to him!"
