"Thump, thump, thump..."
"Help, help."
The cries for help from inside the coffin went from intense to faint, and lasted a good two or three minutes.
During this ti, the onlooking crowd recovered from their initial shock and panic.
"It’s not a hallucination; soone is really crying for help."
"This doesn’t seem like a case of a corpse coming back to life, rather, the person isn’t dead yet."
"My God, could it be that there’s really a living person inside the coffin?"
"Could these guys actually be scamrs, exploiting everyone’s sympathy?"
"I think that’s quite likely."
Public opinion instantly reversed.
The bearded n beca the targets of public outrage.
"Let’s see how you continue your act now."
Just as the cries from the coffin were becoming weaker and almost inaudible, Zhang Xiaoshan finally said to Lin Yanran.
"Bring over that bucket of cold water from your n."
Soon, a large bucket of cool water was placed in front of Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan walked over to the coffin.
He opened the coffin, then grabbed the collar of the man lying inside, yanking him out like a little chicken.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
At that mont, the shrouded man began to gasp desperately, trying to breathe in fresh air.
"I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die."
A few seconds later, he visibly regained so semblance of consciousness.
"Is this person alive, alive?"
The onlookers were downright astonished.
What kind of trick was this?
Zhang Xiaoshan, however, imdiately dunked him into the bucket of cold water.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
The shrouded man was forcibly gulping down quite a bit of water, but his mind was also becoming much clearer, as he fully ca to his senses.
"You were already dressed in a shroud, weren’t you?"
"Are you afraid of water, even as a ghost?"
Zhang Xiaoshan sneered as he pulled the shrouded man out of the water and tossed him aside.
"Spare , spare , please."
The shrouded man kept begging for rcy,
and as he looked up, people could see clearly.
His face was now an intense red, a stark contrast from the previous pallor.
"He, his face was pale before, that, that was makeup?"
"Now that the makeup has been washed off by the water, his true face is naturally revealed."
A few fashionable won articulated the obvious.
The crowd imdiately beca restless.
"Faking death, this man really was faking death, they are all frauds."
"These people ca to scam Hundred Herbs Hall, we’ve all been fooled."
"These scoundrels."
"Smack, smack, smack"
People started throwing rotten eggs and spoiled vegetable leaves at the impostors.
"No, it’s a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding, probably we got it wrong."
The bearded man had a million curses running through his mind, but still managed a strained smile and said.
"Perhaps we were careless, and mistook my brother for being completely dead, it’s all a misunderstanding, we will leave right away, we will leave right away."
The bearded man called to his people to leave.
The shrouded man also hurriedly got up from the ground, looking to make an escape.
"Wait a minute, did I let you go?"
Zhang Xiaoshan placed his hand on the shoulder of the man in the shroud, and spoke coldly.
The atmosphere in the room once again beca tense.
"Kid, I already said it was all a misunderstanding, and I’m not holding a grudge against Hundred Herbs Hall anymore, what else do you want?"
This group was obviously led by the man with the big beard.
By now, the look in the big-bearded man’s eyes toward Zhang Xiaoshan was filled with the intent to kill.
The good situation had been ruined by Zhang Xiaoshan, plus, now they had beco like rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting to hit them, the matter was completely botched.
All this was because of Zhang Xiaoshan’s sudden interference, and the big-bearded man wished he could eat Zhang Xiaoshan’s flesh to vent his anger.
But Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t give a damn about the big bearded man, and directly rebuked him arrogantly.
"Co when you want, leave when you want, do you really think my friends are so easy to bully?"
"Today, unless things are made clear, no one is leaving through that door."
With that said, Zhang Xiaoshan directly picked up a small knife used for cutting herbs from the table nearby and pressed it against the vet’s neck.
"Tell , what’s your na? How old are you?"
"Zhang, Dr. Zhang..."
Lin Yanran was stunned at this mont.
Could this be the highest level of playing the hero to save the beauty?
Zhang Xiaoshan, to take revenge for her and to prove his innocence, was actually this brave?
The heart of Lin Yanran, who was experiencing the first stirrings of love, was filled with ripples of admiration as she gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Don’t, don’t move the knife, I, my na is Liu Xiaomao, I’m thirty-six," the man in the shroud imdiately blurted out in fear.
"Humph."
Zhang Xiaoshan let go of the man in the shroud and then grabbed the son of the deceased who was beside the coffin draped in hemp and wearing mourning clothes.
"What, what are you doing?"
The son of the deceased was visibly panicked.
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t waste words with him
With one sweep of the Heavenly Dragon’s Eye, he saw right through him.
"So it’s here."
He reached directly into the crotch of the son of the deceased.
A wallet was pulled out.
Then, an ID card was fished out.
"Give it back to ."
The son of the deceased tried to snatch back his ID card, but was scared stiff by the knife in Zhang Xiaoshan’s hand.
"Heh, Zhang Xiaowu, twenty-two years old."
Zhang Xiaoshan held up the ID card.
"Look everyone, my na is Liu Xiaomao, thirty-six, and yet my son’s surna is Zhang, already twenty-two years old. A father and son with just fourteen years between them, do you believe that?"
"That’s impossible, at fourteen years old one’s hair isn’t even full-grown yet, let alone have a son, they, they aren’t father and son."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Seeing this, Lin Yanran looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with even more admiration and fondness
So, Zhang Xiaoshan had seen through everything from the start.
At this point, the situation was completely turned around.
"Miss Lin, please call the police and report a fraud gang," Zhang Xiaoshan said.
"Alright."
Lin Yanran was about to call the police imdiately.
"Don’t, don’t."
The woman playing the deceased’s wife imdiately rushed over, grabbed Lin Yanran’s hand which was about to call, knelt in front of Lin Yanran, and began to sob and beg.
"Don’t call the police, please don’t call the police, I, I’m begging you, I will tell you everything."
"I, I am not with them, I really am a local, they gave three hundred bucks to help act the part, I, I don’t want the money, please just let go."
With that, the woman took out the three hundred yuan reward from her pocket.
"What?"
The surrounding onlookers were all petrified.
They felt their intelligence had been insulted.
