Chapter 441: A Show of Power to Qiao Xi
Qiao Xi followed his gaze.
All I saw was a large square, almost crammed with people, like a celebrity meet-and-greet. The crowd was bustling, and I could faintly hear shouts.
This section of the road is completely blocked.
Pedestrians were constantly passing by on the sidewalk, in groups, in a hurry, their faces filled with surprise.
The car window was lowered a little, and the noise continued in my ears.
"It's Dr. Lu, the genius doctor, who's here for a free consultation today."
"She provides free medical consultations and medicinal herbs to ordinary people like us every month. There are too few good people in this era."
"Hurry up and line up! If you're late you won't be able to get a number!"
Men and women, young and old, all rushed to the square. One could even see banners fluttering, with the words "Lu Yingxue" prominently displayed. Because of her presence, cars moved at a snail's pace, adding another burden to the imperial capital's traffic.
Some drivers from other places expressed their dissatisfaction, but were scolded back by those people.
No one has the right to scold the living Guanyin of their imperial capital.
There were photos of Lu Yingxue on the big screen in the square, and footage of her providing free medical treatment was played repeatedly.
Qiao Xi looked at the big screen. Lu Yingxue was beautiful and elegant, with a classical temperament, and she looked ethereal.
There was indeed a compassionate temperament in her eyes and eyebrows, and she was very friendly. She always had a smile on her face, which made it impossible to find fault with her.
"Wow."
Sun Shao exclaimed.
It looks good.
But he stood firm and said quickly, "What kind of living Bodhisattva is this? It's affecting traffic. We don't know how long we'll be stuck here, so we mustn't delay our work. It's still unclear who the little miracle doctor is. Is she just trying to attract attention?"
He turned to look at Qiao Xi, who was carefully scrolling through her phone screen, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm reading news reports. The Internet is very convenient nowadays. You can find everything."
Qiao Xi looked through Lu Yingxue's messages and found that she did provide free medical services at the largest Chinese medicine clinic in the capital every month, but the free medical services were always on the 10th of each month.
Today is not the tenth.
The location is not in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
Qiao Xi glanced at the crowd. Was this a coincidence? Or...
Bang!
The car suddenly shook, and Qiao Xi bumped into the back of the front seat due to inertia. Her forehead flushed and she felt dizzy. The juice in Sun Shao's stomach almost came out.
"Ugh." He covered his mouth and retched.
This is Lao Chen braking suddenly because the car behind him rear-ended him!
"Madam, are you okay?"
Old Chen shouted, "Suddenly an old lady appeared in front of us. I was afraid of hitting her, so I braked suddenly."
As for the rear-end collision with the following car, it is fully responsible because they did not maintain a safe distance.
"How's the old lady?"
Qiao Xi rubbed his forehead and asked.
"I'll get off and take a look."
Old Chen parked the car and opened the door, only to be harassed by a middle-aged man.
"You hit my mother, pay compensation! Don't you have eyes when driving on such a long road?" The middle-aged man pushed Lao Chen. He looked like someone who was not easy to bully, and grabbed Lao Chen's collar to demand an explanation.
The old lady lying on the ground kept shouting "ouch, ouch" and crying out in pain, covering her legs.
Passersby gathered around and couldn't help but say with pity: "At such an old age, a fall is a big deal. She must have broken a bone. You guys are too careless to drive. You let the old lady suffer."
"I think we should just pay to send the old lady to the hospital for a checkup. She's not short of money for a Bentley, is she?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said confidently, "Compensation! Just pay 500,000! My mother will definitely need a full-body checkup at the hospital, and we'll also have to pay for our lost wages and mental damages!"
Normally, Lao Chen could knock him down with one move.
But this was not the time to use force, so he said, "I need to check the roadside surveillance and dashcam first."
"Investigate, investigate! If you continue investigating, my mother will be dead. You rich people really don't care about the lives of ordinary people like us!" He started to make a fuss. "Everyone, please judge for yourself. Did I deliberately let my mother suffer at such an old age?"
This one sentence aroused hatred of the rich among many people.
They looked at Lao Chen with different expressions, but they all felt that 500,000 yuan in compensation was indeed a bit too much.
The middle-aged man, backed up by his support, became even more arrogant. He pointed at Old Chen and said, "You don't look like someone who can make decisions. There are two more people in the car. Let them get out! Why are you such a coward when something bad happens?"
Sun Weimeng got angry when he heard this.
Who the hell is a coward?
What he hates most is being called a turtle.
He pushed open the car door and got out. "Who are you scolding? An old lady ran out of nowhere on the road, and she didn't even use the sidewalk! The traffic was so heavy that the car was going less than 10 miles per hour, and she was injured? I think you are just trying to extort money. You asked for 500,000 yuan. I don't have any RMB, but I can burn 500 million in ghost money for you!"
His mouth is not worse than Huo Sijiao's.
They were originally playing together, and they were of the same bloodline.
"Young Master Sun."
Qiao Xi tugged at his sleeve and said, "Calm down first and don't irritate him anymore."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Sun Weimeng immediately shut up.
Qiao Xi walked forward, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "I'm a doctor. I can check on your mother first. If the injury is serious, we will treat her immediately. Don't delay the old lady's health and send her to the hospital for treatment. For subsequent accountability, we need to see the dashcam and roadside surveillance and let the traffic police make the judgment."
The middle-aged man looked her over pretentiously for a few times, then suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted, "Everyone, come and look! Does she look familiar? Haicheng TV broadcast a video of her interview last time! She was the apprentice of the famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han!"
His voice was particularly loud, as if to attract everyone's attention: "Miss Lu, the living Guanyin of our imperial capital, provides free medical treatment to everyone. And Cheng Han's apprentice from Haicheng hit someone and refused to pay for it! How can she be considered a doctor who saves lives and heals illnesses? How can she compare to the little genius doctor Lu!"
"Traditional Chinese Medicine disciple? I checked my phone, and it really is her!"
"Cheng Han is very capable, but his apprentice is not necessarily better than our Little Divine Doctor Lu. Look at that old lady, her face has turned pale from the pain. How pitiful."
"Everyone says that the traditional Chinese medicine in Haicheng is amazing, but I think our Imperial Capital is the best! People in Haicheng just like to brag, but they're not necessarily that capable."
Passersby were talking about it.
Lao Chen and Sun Weimeng both looked very unhappy.
Old Chen lowered his voice and said to Qiao Xi, "Young Madam, I really didn't bump into that old lady. She either fell down or she was faking it! Seeing how arrogant this man is, he must be trying to scam me, or maybe he was instructed by someone."
Qiao Xi is well-known in Haicheng and is not easily recognized when she goes out.
After all, she is just a little-known Chinese medicine practitioner, not a star in the entertainment industry.
But in the imperial capital, his identity was recognized by someone by chance and was widely publicized.
There is a problem.
Qiao Xi stood aside with an unusually calm expression, her eyes devoid of any panic. She had just checked the location and time of Lu Yingxue's free clinic, and had formed a hypothesis.
This is a warning to her when she comes to the imperial capital!
Then the old lady is most likely pretending, but we still need to confirm it.
Qiao Xi glanced at Sun Weimeng and gave him a wink.
