Xie Yan stared at Wang Yindi with great interest, his eyes seeming to be watching a carefully orchestrated farce.
After her tearful performance came to an end, Xie Yan spoke slowly, with a hint of mockery in his tone: "Sorry, you seem to have forgotten something. When you fell, your head didn't hit the ground."
So, you can't blame me for this headache!
He paused deliberately for a moment, his eyes sharp as he slowly swept over the crowd of onlookers, then raised his voice and said, "If you don't believe me, we can ask these old men and women over there. They all have sharp eyes and can see it clearly."
"Isn't that right, Aunt Wang?"
Wang Yindi's face, which had been contorted like a pretzel, froze instantly, as if she had been frozen in place. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and her heart was in turmoil.
She carefully recalled what had just happened.
Did you really not hit your head?
How could this be? It shouldn't be like this!
She vaguely remembered hitting her head!
However, before she could even sort out her chaotic thoughts, Xie Yan gave her no chance to catch her breath.
Xie Yan quickly turned to face the crowd around him, a half-smile on his face, and said loudly, "Aunt Wang, Aunt Wu, and Uncle Liu over here, you must have seen clearly what just happened. Why don't you tell our incredibly 'dedicated' actor what happened?"
Those who were just moments ago bossing Xie Yan around and acting arrogantly, now changed their tune like face-changing actors in Sichuan opera.
Aunt Wang, who had been mentioned twice at the banquet, spoke first, her tone resolute: "It seems she really didn't hit her head!"
“That’s right, that’s right, I saw it clearly. After she fell, I only heard her bottom hit the ground with a ‘thud,’ and her head didn’t even hit it.” An uncle chimed in, gesturing to show the scene.
"Yes, yes, that's right!" The others chimed in, as if the scene of their previous verbal abuse had never happened, and everyone was eager to distance themselves from their previous attitude.
After all, Wang Yindi had already been thoroughly humiliated by Xie Yan. If they told the truth now, they could not only prove their character but also curry favor with Xie Yan.
After all, Xie Yan is a teacher, and their children will inevitably be taught by him when they go to school in the future, so no one wants to have a falling out with him.
As if on cue, a gust of cold wind swept in, whistling across everyone's faces and stirring up dust that flew wildly in the air.
Sitting on the ground in astonishment, Wang Yindi embraced the dust head-on, adding a touch of earthiness to her already ashen face.
The pervasive dust added to the absurdity and comicality of the farce, as if even the heavens were adding a unique atmosphere to the play.
Wang Yindi's fingers gripped the ground tightly, her nails turning white from the force. Remembering Wang Xiao's words, she gritted her teeth, swallowed the curse that was about to come out of her mouth, and her face instantly turned ashen, like the dark clouds before a storm, gloomy and terrifying.
Her gaze shot at Xie Yan like a poisoned arrow, her eyes burning with intense hatred, as if she wanted to tear Xie Yan to pieces.
Xie Yan looked at her and sneered.
Is this person sick? Or seriously sick?
Why should we give him a "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river" scenario?
snort!
Xie Yan really wasn't afraid. To be honest, someone like Wang Yindi could only be arrogant in this small mountain village.
They are typical bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. If they really encounter a tough opponent, they won't dare to utter a single word!
Wang Yindi stared at Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui, who were beaming with pride, and suddenly let out a cold laugh. The laugh was like the cry of an owl, sending chills down one's spine.
"Fine!" she gritted her teeth and squeezed out the two words. Then, she slowly placed her hand on her arm, a resolute glint in her eyes, and then suddenly exerted force.
With a crisp "crack," the arm fell limply to its side.
Intense pain surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing her.
Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, slid down her cheeks, and soaked her collar. Her lips trembled slightly with pain, and her pitiful screams were deafening.
Upon seeing this, Xie Yan felt a chill run down his spine and gave Wang Yindi a deep look.
Oh!
This person is indeed a ruthless character!
Moreover, this person is not only ruthless, but also quite clever!
Xie Yan walked forward expressionlessly, his eyes as cold as an icy pool.
He reached out and grabbed Wang Yindi's dangling arm, his movements clean and swift, twisting it sharply. With another "crack," amidst gasps of astonishment, Wang Yindi's arm miraculously returned to its original shape.
Xie Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he said slowly, "A dislocated joint doesn't count as a broken one!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Yindi's arm and gestured, "If you really want to get this money, the only way is to cut off the connection here!"
He tapped Wang Yindi's elbow joint with his finger, looking at her defiantly, "Well? Have you decided where to break it?"
"You can choose any arm, or the other one will do too. Just tell me, and I'll make it happen for you." Xie Yan finished speaking with a very kind smile, a genuine and bright one. "See how kind I am! I'm even giving you the chance to choose!"
Have you decided where to cut it?
Wang Yindi stared fiercely at Xie Yan, the hatred in her eyes like a tangible flame that could devour Xie Yan at any moment.
Xie Yan met her gaze without flinching and scoffed, "What, can't you choose?"
"How about I make the decision for you?"
"I'm easy to talk to, anything is fine with me."
Wang Yindi knew in her heart that she had miscalculated this time, and her plan to make Xie Yan pay money through this incident was no longer going to work.
Enraged, she suddenly stretched out her hands and shoved Xie Yan with all her might.
Xie Yan was half-squatting at this moment. He wasn't very stable to begin with, and this sudden push made him lose his balance instantly and fall backward.
Yu Yuehui, who had been closely observing Xie Yan from the sidelines, reacted quickly.
She rushed forward and, with her strong hands, firmly pulled Xie Yan from behind, thus preventing him from having a "close encounter" with the ground.
When Wang Yindi failed to push Xie Yan down, she became so angry that her face turned red, like an angry old ox with flames shooting out of her nostrils.
She stood up angrily, pointed at the two people in front of her, and roared through gritted teeth, "You just wait! I'll get my revenge sooner or later!" After saying that, she left without looking back, like a black whirlwind.
Xie Yan watched her departing figure, a sigh rising in his heart. He deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "I'm waiting! I'm ready anytime!"
