Chapter 375 An Accidental Encounter with a Scam



But when she turned around, she saw that the person holding her was Gu Yiming. Her anger intensified, and she shook her hands frantically, saying, "Gu Yiming, what do you mean? Let me go right now."

However, Gu Yiming did not want to let go of Jiang Hua at this moment, and immediately said to Jiang Hua, "Huahua, don't be angry. I was wrong this time. I'm sorry."

"Is saying sorry enough? Don't you know..." Jiang Huai felt extremely helpless as she watched Gu Yiming apologize to her repeatedly. She reached out and shook off Gu Yiming's hand, saying just that.

Seeing Jiang Hua like this, Gu Yiming felt very helpless, but in the end he still said to Jiang Hua, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Huahua, what do you want in order to forgive me? Tell me."

Faced with Gu Yiming's sincere attitude, Jiang Hua had already forgiven him in her heart, but she still felt a little unwilling. Thinking this, she reached out and poured some water on Gu Yiming, saying deliberately, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but I forgive you now."

Seeing that Jiang Hua had gotten his coat wet, Gu Yiming knew that Jiang Hua had done it on purpose, but thinking that she would not expose him once she calmed down, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little wet, it will dry in a while."

And so, the conflict between the two was over. However, Jiang Hua thought about the atmosphere in the ward and realized that it was not appropriate for them to go there at this time. So she took Gu Yiming's hand and said, "Alright, now that I'm not angry anymore, come with me for a walk outside."

Seeing Jiang Hua's happy expression, Gu Yiming felt very satisfied. He let Jiang Hua pull him along, and the two of them walked outside.

"Was Hu Haoran alright when you came out?" Gu Yiming asked Jiang Hua as they walked, wanting to know Hu Haoran's current situation.

Jiang Hua kept looking around before speaking to Gu Yiming: "He's fine now. He's woken up. The doctor checked him over and said there's nothing serious. He just needs to rest. I thought about how Qingqing has taken care of him for so long, so I wanted to give them some space to be alone, and that's why I came out."

When Gu Yiming heard that Hu Haoran had woken up and his condition had improved a lot, he felt relieved. At the same time, he found Jiang Hua's sensible behavior quite amusing. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards the two of them.

It turned out to be that old man who had staged an accident to extort money. It seemed he had found someone easy to bully. The old man saw Jiang Hua coming from afar, so he stepped forward again and pretended to fall down in front of the two of them, while shouting, "What's wrong with you? I'm so old, how could you push me down like that?"

Gu Yiming immediately ignored the old man who was trying to scam him, grabbed Jiang Hua's hand, looked her up and down, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Jiang Huai felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at Gu Yiming's concerned expression. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry. But..."

As she spoke, Jiang Hua glanced at the old man lying on the ground. She felt quite helpless, never expecting to encounter such a thing time and time again.

The old man on the ground, who was pretending to be injured, also saw Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming's actions. Seeing that the two of them were only paying attention to each other and completely ignoring him, the old man accused them: "Well, you two, didn't you see that I was bumped into by you? You're actually concerned about yourselves, but you don't even look at me, an old man lying on the ground. You're really heartless. What has society become? Why are young people so lacking in character?"

The old man kept shouting and glancing around as if hoping to attract more attention so he could extort more money.

After confirming that Jiang Hua was alright, Gu Yiming listened to the old man on the ground rambling on and on, and felt a surge of anger. He pulled Jiang Hua behind him and immediately said to the old man, "Old man, I don't know if this is the first time you've done this, or if you've always done it, but let me tell you first, your tricks won't work on me."

Gu Sheng rebuked the old man. Gu Yiming truly loathed such things. He didn't know what was going on in society, or whether society had changed. He was skeptical of the idea that bad people had grown old, or even that old people had become bad. But since this had happened to them, he wanted to teach them a lesson.

But it was clear that the old man who was trying to scam people was a repeat offender. Hearing Gu Yiming's reprimand, he wasn't afraid. Instead, he seized on Gu Yiming's words and shouted loudly to the surroundings, "Come and see! This person is really too much. He bumped into me and now he's scolding me. Poor me!"

While shouting, the old man who was trying to extort sympathy from others was clearly trying to gain more people's sympathy. He kept pounding the floor with his hands and talking, and his head was lowered as if he was crying. But in reality, he was scanning his surroundings to see how likely he was to fool the other party this time.

"Oh dear, what's going on here? They knocked someone down, so they should just help them up." Many people were walking around the hospital, unaware of what had happened. Some sympathetic individuals were discussing the situation, while simultaneously casting accusatory glances at Gu Yiming, as if they had done something wrong.

Facing the stares of these people, Gu Yiming acted as if he didn't notice them at all. His gaze remained fixed on the elderly man who was trying to extort money, and he said again, "Old man, I already gave you a chance. Since you still want to extort money, then don't blame me for being impolite. Since you say we hit you, then I'm calling the police right now. There are security cameras here; let the police come and see if we really knocked you down. Whether this is all part of your scheme or not, I think the law should sentence someone to how many years in prison for this kind of extortion..."
