Liu Zhi and Xu Hong stood straight, their faces filled with righteous indignation.

“Get out of the way,” Yao Tang suddenly said, still cool as a cucumber.

The police officers didn’t react and continued to stand in her path. Yao Tangfrowned at the bowl in her hands.

It wouldn’t be easy fighting with this added burden.

More importantly, it wouldn’t be a good idea to get into a brawl with the police.

She was still considering her options when the head officer. “Young Lady, I’m giving you a fair warning. If you don’t put down that bowl immediately, you and I will have to do some business. Right now, the old lady’s life is more important than anything else. I hope you would do the right thing for her sake.”

With that, he reached out and tried to take the bowl from her.

Yao Tang deftly avoided his reach, her face blank, as though she hadn’t heard anything.

Her gaze went past the people blocking her and landed on Grandma Xu.

What little color the old woman had on her cheeks was slowly fading.

Meanwhile, Qin JingandXu Xuanheld on toGrandma Xuand tried their best to explain the truth to the officers.

“Uncle Policeman, please don’t stop us. We are treating the patient. This is the only way! If you delay any further, it will be too late. Please move aside and let her give Grandma the medicine!”

“Please believe us,” Xu Xuanpleaded. “This patient is my grandmother. I will definitely not stand by and let someone harm her.Yao Tangknows what she’s doing, so please let her through!”

“Stop spouting any more nonsense,” a police officer said sternly. “This matter is non-negotiable.”

But when she saw how anxious Xu Xuanwas, he couldn’t resist offering some comfort. “Don’t worry. We’ve already contacted the emergency department. A doctor will be here soon, and your grandmother will be just fine. You should stop causing trouble, or it will only make things worse.”

“You’ve got it all wrong!” Qin Jingsaid angrily while staring daggers at the couple. “Those two are the culprits in all of this. If it weren’t for them,Grandma Xuwouldn’t have fainted in the first place!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Also, that man attacked our friend with a jar. Just look at the shattered fragments on the floor. If our friend hadn’t dodged in time, she would be injured and unconscious right now.”

Unfortunately for them, the story about the jar was just as ridiculous to the policemen as the rest of their claims.

After all, Yao Tangdidn’t have a single scratch on her body, whileLiu Zhiwas riddled with wounds on his face and arms.

He was obviously the victim here.

“Stop lying, Miss,” an officer said to Qin Jing. “Are you aware that you can serve time in jail for slandering innocent people?”

“That’s right. Don’t think you can fool us. She is your friend, so it’s not surprising that you would speak up for her.”

“Hey, all of you, stop talking. Don’t do anything and just wait until the doctor gets here.”

The officers shook their heads at Qin Jingand sighed in disappointment.

How could a pretty young lady be so good at lying? What a pity.

If she were telling the truth, then Yao Tangshould be the injured one instead ofLiu Zhi.

Shortly after, the color completely disappeared from Grandma Xu’s face. Her vitality, too, was wavering.

When Yao Tangsaw this, her fingers tightened around the bowl.

Within a flash, she disappeared from the officer’s sight.

The man was stunned and couldn’t even begin to comprehend what had happened.

The others had similar shocked expressions as they looked around. They weren’t sure if they were simply seeing things, but how could they have imagined the same thing all at once?

Suddenly, one of the men felt a chill run down his spine.

The hair on his arms and neck stood on end.

When he turned around, he found that the girl who had disappeared just a few seconds ago was now standing behind him.
