Chapter 372 Extortion



Gu Yiming had read the message Xu Mo sent before leaving, and then instructed his men not to look for him anymore. Actually, it was a good thing that Xu Mo left.

Ye Qingqing has become increasingly calm and has accepted Hu Haoran's condition, but she hasn't given up hope. After the last surgery, the doctor said, "You can talk to the patient about happy things to awaken his desire to wake up."

“Okay, doctor,” Ye Qingqing replied.

During this time, apart from her normal routine, Ye Qingqing spent every moment talking to Hu Haoran about what had happened between them, even explaining where he had done wrong or what she had been thinking at the time. As she spoke, tears would uncontrollably stream down her face. The sweetness of their past contrasted sharply with the present, making Ye Qingqing feel as if she had swallowed a bitter pill.

She had been talking to Hu Haoran for three days straight, but he remained unchanged. This disappointed Ye Qingqing, and she couldn't help but lie down beside the hospital bed and cry silently.

Just as Ye Qingqing lowered her head to wipe away her tears, Hu Haoran's eyes darted around and his fingers twitched a few times.

After calming herself down, Ye Qingqing continued reminiscing about their past sweet moments, and even placed her hand in Hu Haoran's. Suddenly, Ye Qingqing felt the movement of Hu Haoran's fingers. Thinking it was her imagination, she noticed a few more slight movements, which made her very happy. She quickly pressed the call button and called for him to come over.

After the doctor's examination, he said that Hu Haoran's condition had improved and his body was beginning to respond, which was a sign that he was about to wake up. These words made Ye Qingqing much more lively, as if a withered tree had come back to life.

Ye Qingqing excitedly called Jiang Hua: "Huahua, Haoran is waking up soon! I'm so happy, so happy! I've finally waited for him!" Her tone was filled with undisguised joy, which made Jiang Hua feel very happy.

"Stay calm and don't get too emotional. I'm coming right now. Wait for me. I brought you some delicious vegetarian soup. Drink plenty of it to nourish your body. You have to take good care of yourself, otherwise Hu Haoran will be heartbroken when he wakes up and sees you like this," Jiang Hua rambled on and on.

Ye Qingqing, on the other end of the phone, was in a good mood and had returned to her lively and cheerful self: "Okay, my dear housekeeper, thank you for the drawing."

"Do we still need to use the word 'thank you' between us? As long as you're doing well and happy, I'm satisfied," Jiang Hua said sincerely.

"Okay, come on over, I'm waiting for your... soup," Ye Qingqing said, even joking for the first time.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hua arrived at the hospital in a very cheerful mood. As she walked down the corridor outside the intensive care unit, an elderly woman accidentally bumped into her, causing her to fall and knock the soup out of Jiang Hua's hand.

Jiang Hua quickly apologized, afraid that the soup would scald the old woman or cause her to fall. She kept apologizing, but unexpectedly, the old woman, seeing Jiang Hua's apologies, began to insist that Jiang Hua pay compensation.

"Ouch, my legs! My back! It hurts so much! I can't get up! Oh my, it hurts so much! Young lady, why are you walking so fast? You knocked me to the ground, hurry up and help me up!" The old woman started shouting in the hospital corridor.

She was the one who sat on the ground and refused to get up, yet she insisted that Jiang Hua hadn't helped her up. Jiang Hua was so angry with the old woman that she couldn't speak. She didn't want to argue with the old woman and just wanted to quickly settle things and go find Ye Qingqing.

Unexpectedly, the old woman started making a scene, arguing and twisting the truth. As time went on, more and more people gathered in the hospital corridor. Jiang Hua was very embarrassed and realized that the old woman was probably trying to extort money from her, and that she had encountered a "hit-and-run scammer" in the hospital.

"Old woman, stop throwing a tantrum. Let's just get it checked out, okay?" Jiang Hua's head was throbbing from the old woman's wailing.

Just then, a forceful voice interrupted: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you rolling around on the ground at your age?" Ye Qingqing's unexpected remark caused the surrounding onlookers to burst into laughter. Jiang Hua knew immediately that her friend had arrived. They exchanged a glance, and Ye Qingqing gave Jiang Hua a "watch me" look before unleashing her fighting prowess.

"How can you talk like that, young lady? If you don't know the situation, shut up," the old woman said firmly.

"Ha! You bumped into someone and instead of apologizing, you're trying to extort money from them. Old lady, you've got some nerve! Have you been working on building your skin all these years?" Ye Qingqing's words were sharp, directly exposing the truth and showing no mercy to the old woman.

"You saw that? Talking nonsense like that! Don't you have any respect for elders? You really have bad upbringing!" This old woman was no pushover either, and her words were quite harsh.

"You don't need to worry about my upbringing, but judging from your behavior, your upbringing is even worse~ I don't want to argue with you anymore. As for what really happened, there are surveillance cameras in the hospital corridors. Let's go check the footage!" Ye Qingqing pointed to the camera above her head and said contemptuously.

The old woman panicked slightly upon seeing this, but still stubbornly insisted, "I won't stoop to your level. You hit someone and won't admit it. You have bad character! Humph! Seeing you like this makes me worry about your parents!" She quickly got up, left those words, and prepared to leave.

"Explain yourself clearly, or we'll settle things here today before you leave! Come on, let's watch the video," the old woman's words infuriated Ye Qingqing. Looking at the spilled soup on the ground and the pointing and whispering crowd around her, Ye Qingqing grabbed the old woman's hand.

"Young lady, what are you trying to do? I have witnesses, everyone saw it. Stop making a fuss," the old woman said, pulling her hand away from Ye Qingqing with a flustered tone.

The people around were all watching the show, and when they saw the old woman back down, someone stood up and said, "We all saw you, old lady, trying to extort money from this young girl. Don't try to argue your way out of this."

A few voices echoed around her, and the old woman looked embarrassed. She stopped talking and tried to leave. Seeing this, Ye Qingqing stopped making a fuss and said, "Thank you, everyone. Please disperse."

After saying that, he picked up the thermos from the ground, took Jiang Hua's arm, and went back to his ward without delay.

"Qingqing, your fighting power is as amazing as ever!" Jiang Hua said with a smile, adding a thumbs up.

"Your fighting ability is still as trash as ever," Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes at Jiang Hua.
