Chapter 902: The Little Extortion Expert An Yiqing (5)
You could say An Yiqing was exploiting Old Lady Xia’s fear of death and her greed for life. She knew all too well that such a person loved money but cherished their life even more, utterly selfish.
"Oh, isn’t this Old Lady Xia? Is your heart condition better now? No more pain? Not passing out anymore? Feeling spirited?" Ruan Xue taunted with a peculiar intonation, staring at Old Lady Xia with mockery.
Old Lady Xia felt a blockage in her chest, her eyes glowering resentfully at Ruan Xue, yet she dared not speak.
"Lao San, help me up!" With a cold huff, the old lady stretched out her hand arrogantly like Empress Dowager Cixi, waiting to be waited on by Xia Lao San.
However, after a long wait, there was no movement from Xia Lao San. Old Lady Xia’s face couldn’t save face, and, turning her head in a rage, she suddenly remembered that Xia Laoda and Xia Lao San were already immobilized!
"What, what have you done to them? Why can’t they move? I’m telling you, don’t think I’ll be afraid of you just because you’re some commander’s granddaughter. I, Old Lady Xia, have lived more than seventy years with dignity and integrity, and I’m tough as nails!" Old Lady Xia blustered with a stiff neck and feigned bravado.
"Oh? Dignified and integral, you say? Alright then, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up," An Yiqing suggested while leisurely pulling out a long, slender Silver Needle from her brocade bag, the chilling glints on the needle instantly silencing Old Lady Xia’s rant.
Watching Old Lady Xia’s frightened eyes, An Yiqing smiled radiantly, and said in an ethereal voice, "Old Lady Xia, don’t be nervous, just relax."
"You see, I’m a very reasonable person. My master and grandfather always educated me to be a sensible and good child. Over the years, I believe I’ve done quite well, having saved many people. Overall, my reputation is pretty good out there."
