Chapter 286: Chapter 285: Playing Dead?

The bearded man looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with gritted teeth full of hatred.

At this point, he knew he was in the wrong, yet he still forced himself to argue.

"This, this is all nonsense you guys are making up, it’s just your side of the story. You’re just bluffing, everyone, please don’t be deceived by them."

"They just want to shirk responsibility, so they deliberately spout nonsense here. They say the herbal residue was within twenty-four hours, but is that really so?"

"Everyone, please don’t fall for their trick."

The bearded man’s words infuriated Lin Yanran.

"Our Hundred Herbs Hall is a century-old pharmaceutical enterprise, well-reputed; how could we possibly spout nonsense? It’s clear that you are lying."

However, the crowd outside was more inclined to believe the bearded man and the others,

"Yes, we’re just ordinary folk, we don’t know medical techniques, who knows when those herbs were prepared and how long they have been boiled."

"If people from Hundred Herbs Hall were spouting lies, we wouldn’t be aware of it."

"Yes, the coffin is right here before us, the dead deserve respect, I still believe the victim’s family side."

On hearing this, the bearded man couldn’t help but laugh joyfully.

"Hahaha, boy, you hear that? Even if you speak eloquently, no one believes you, hurry up and pay up, don’t waste everyone’s time."

Lin Yanran initially believed that the deceased had some connection to their Hundred Herbs Hall, which made her willing to pay; but after Zhang Xiaoshan pointed things out, she realized these people were just causing trouble to extort money.

So she was exceptionally angry and scolded the bearded man and his group.

"It’s clear that you are lying, yet here you are turning the tables, I, I’m going to call the police, I want an autopsy, you won’t get a single penny from me."

Lin Yanran’s words enraged the bearded man,

"Fine, I’ve accommodated your requests repeatedly, yet you still break your promises. Is this the responsibility of a century-old pharmaceutical enterprise?"

"I see Hundred Herbs Hall is just this, merely a crooked shop; everyone, please never come to Hundred Herbs Hall again."

"Wuwuwu, my man, you died so miserably."

"Dad, you died so miserably, how are we, a whole family, supposed to live without you?"

"Open your eyes and see these conscienceless people, your death is too wrongful."

The "mother and son" kneeling in front of the coffin began to wail bitterly.

Their crying caused a disturbance among the crowd outside.

The crowd’s emotions started to stir up.

"This damned Hundred Herbs Hall treats lives like grass, and doesn’t even take responsibility, what’s the difference between this and a crooked shop?"

"This is even worse than a crooked shop."

"We must never have any dealings with them ever again, definitely don’t come to Hundred Herbs Hall for treatments, and we must never sell them our herbs for them to harm others; otherwise, we would become accomplices to murder."

"Right, get out of Qingshan Town."

"Get out of Qingshan Town."

"Get out of Qingshan Town."

The crowd was enraged.

They began to throw bricks, stones, and rotten eggs at random.

The situation was getting slightly out of control.

"This is bad, Miss, we’ve incited public rage. To prevent the situation from getting worse, we should just pay up. If this continues, our house might even get burned," Doctor Li said anxiously at that time.

Lin Yanran clenched her teeth against her red lips, so infuriated that she bit her lips until they bled.

She knew she was being framed, being wronged, but still had to be led by the nose by the other party and compromise, which felt utterly terrible.

Yet, seeing the agitated crowd outside, she seemed to have no other choice at that moment.

She just had to swallow the bitterness of coptis.

"Thank you for your help, you better leave now, this matter no longer concerns you."

"Though it changes nothing, at least you let me know I was wronged, I really appreciate you, please go, I don’t want you to get involved."

Lin Yanran looked at Zhang Xiaoshan, urging him to leave.

Zhang Xiaoshan remained calm and collected, smiling as he spoke.

"As a man, once I say something, not even four horses can pull it back. I said I wouldn’t let you be bullied, so I will make sure of it; it hasn’t even been five minutes yet, why the rush?"

"You rascal, what’s the use of worrying about the time now?"

"The situation is set, if you don’t want the medicine shop to be destroyed, go get the money."

The bearded man’s face was full of a smug and sinister smile.

"Thump thump thump..."

However,

just at that moment, there came a knocking sound from inside the coffin.

"The, the coffin is making noise?"

"In broad daylight, did we just see a ghost?"

"Is it possible we are hallucinating, did we hear wrong?"

The emotionally charged crowd outside suddenly quieted down, their doubtful gazes directed at the coffin.

"This is bad." The bearded man also became anxious.

But, just when the coffin had quietened down again, there was no other sound.

"Did we really hear wrong?"

"Hallucination, definitely a hallucination, how could there be any noise when a person is dead?"

The bearded man also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yet, just as it had quieted down, the coffin began to make noise again.

"Thump thump thump..."

"Let me out, let me out."

"Help, help me."

This time, not only did knocking sounds come from the coffin, but also cries for help.

"It’s a resurrection."

The scene instantly turned chaotic.

Only Zhang Xiaoshan laughed.
