Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Extortion Expert An Yiqing (4)

With a determined heart, Old Lady Xia tightly closed her eyes, deciding to go all in.

However, she didn’t know that while she was pondering over things, her eyeballs kept moving around, and her eyelids were trembling, which was quite distressing to see.

Ah, come on, at least pretend to be a bit more convincing, huh? Aren’t the eyelids of someone who’s unconscious supposed to be still?

Old Lady Xia closed her eyes and waited for a long time, her muscles all tensed up, just waiting for An Yiqing to make her move.

But once again, to her surprise, she didn’t hear An Yiqing approaching even after a long wait.

At that moment, Gu Tingting’s surprised voice rang out in the great hall.

"Eh? Qingqing, what’s this for? Shouldn’t you use a scalpel for surgery? What are you doing with a tiny hammer?"

A tiny hammer?! What is that girl up to?! Could it be she’s trying to crack open her skull?! Old Lady Xia’s heart skipped a beat as she rapidly envisioned numerous scenes of her head being smashed to pieces, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead instantly.

Then, An Yiqing’s leisurely voice came over.

"Hmm, this is a unique method my shimen uses to treat heart patients, very effective. I’ve personally seen my master save several heart patients who were in critical condition. However, today is the first time I’m using this Heart-protecting Hammer, so I’m not very skilled yet."

"Not very skilled? What happens if there’s a mishap?" Gu Tingting continued to ask.

"At worst, it’ll just cause some minor injuries, nothing too serious."

An Yiqing’s words greatly relieved Old Lady Xia; she was willing to take a bit of light damage in exchange for a fortune.

But before she could catch her breath, An Yiqing’s next words almost made her spit blood.

"However, although there aren’t any serious consequences, that’s only the case for patients with severe heart conditions. When our shimen’s ancestors created the Heart-protecting Hammer, it was targeted at severe heart disease patients. When the hammer falls, it can promote myocardial blood circulation and treat many sudden serious illnesses like heart attacks. However, there’s an issue with using the Heart-protecting Hammer, if someone without heart disease or with a minor heart condition uses it, they might die or become a vegetable due to the hammer’s high intensity. So every time the hammer is used to save someone, the master always checks the patient’s condition repeatedly to ensure it’s correct before treatment."

An Yiqing spoke with authority, medical jargon in full display, which made Old Lady Xia, who was pretending to be dead with her eyes closed, have palpitations.

Someone without heart disease could die? Become a vegetable?! She just had a health checkup last month, and aside from high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, her heart was perfectly fine!

If that damned girl used that hammer on her, wouldn’t she be dead for sure?

While she loved money, she would still need to be alive to spend it, right? If she were to be killed by a hammer, even in the Underworld, she wouldn’t rest in peace!

The more Old Lady Xia thought about it, the more anxious she became, feeling less and less secure. With a flick of her eyeballs and a vigorous twitch of her eyelids, she suddenly opened her small green bean-like eyes.

With a dry turn of her head, she saw An Yiqing and Gu Tingting’s playful gazes upon her.

Looking again at An Yiqing’s empty hands, there was no sign of the so-called Heart-protecting Hammer, not even a fart.

Old Lady Xia was stunned, finally realizing that she had been fooled.

In fact, it didn’t matter that the cunning Old Lady Xia fell for the bait; the day’s events were already beyond her understanding. An Yiqing, the granddaughter of the Old Commander of Xuanjin, had confused Old Lady Xia so much she couldn’t tell what was true and what was made up. Hearing about the Heart-protecting Hammer, Old Lady Xia felt it was unreliable, but subconsciously, she thought, with the granddaughter of the Old Commander showing up before her, the existence of the Heart-protecting Hammer didn’t seem like such an oddity.
