Chapter 517: Could Not Stop Her

Translator: Tuiwen Editor: Tuiwen

She handed the bowl to one of the two other girls.

The policeman watched as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

If this girl had wanted to attack him instead of handing over that bowl of medicine, he did not doubt that he would be lying on the ground right now.

Scared beyond reason, he unwittingly took a few steps back, his knees turning into jelly. Fear was written all over his face.

Yao Tang, on the other hand, maintained a neutral expression as she passed the medicine on to Grandma Xu.

She did nothing else.

The police officer soon came to his senses and shook his head in self-derision. He couldn’t understand why he was so spooked just now. She was just a teenage girl, after all.

What could she possibly do to hurt him?

More to the point, since when had he come so timid and cowardly?

He was unaware then that his colleagues were also gaping at Yao Tangin horror and disbelief.

What the hell just happened?

Just when had the girl slipped from their notice, and when had she moved past them and reached the old lady’s bed?

But they had no time to ponder any further.

The head officer saw that Yao Tanghad already handed the bowl toQin Jing, who then began spooning the medicine and holding it againstGrandma Xu’s lips.

It wasn’t that the officer had no faith in traditional Chinese medicine. It was just that Yao Tangwas still a teenager who couldn’t possibly be skilled in the arts that very few adults had managed to conquer.

They couldn’t just watch as the old lady drank whatever dubious concoction she had made.

“Stop her! We must not let the old lady drink that medicine.”

“Stop, I say! Don’t do it!”

Shouts rang out in rapid succession as the officers rushed forward to stop Qin Jing. This time, however, it wasYao Tangwho stood and blocked their path.

“You can’t get any closer,” she said in her usual indifferent tone. She casually opened her arms wide to keep the officers from going any farther.

If the old lady drank that medicine, then she would need to get her stomach pumped at the hospital later. Could her old body even take it?

She was already so old and frail, why must she endure any unnecessary suffering?

As these thoughts flashed in the officers’ minds, they shed their hesitation and lunged forward. They could have easily grabbed the bowl or swatted it out of Qin Jing’s hands, but Yao Tang blocked every attempt.

The men fumed in outrage. They were barely holding off the urge to use force on the girl and shove her aside.

To their dismay, she was very nimble on her feet, and try as they might, they couldn’t even graze her with their fingers.

Whenever a policeman reached for the bowl, Yao Tangwould appear and smack his hands away.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Qin Jingfed the old lady spoonful after spoonful of the medicinal draught.

If they had known that this would happen, they would have chased these two other girls out of the room instead of letting them sit by the bed.

Even if Yao Tangwas quick, she wouldn’t be able to feed the old lady the medicine all by herself.

Unfortunately, there was no use crying over spilled milk, as the famous saying went.

Determined to salvage the situation, the policemen exchanged a look and made up their minds. With a nod from their team leader, they pounced on Yao Tangaltogether. They needed to capture her once and for all before she did anything else to the patient.

This scene excited Liu ZhiandXu Hong, who were both hiding near the door. Their eyes widened with anticipation and glee.

The insolent girl had already attacked an officer. No matter what happened later on, she would definitely be taken in for investigation.

Not only that, but she had also succeeded in feeding the old woman the suspicious medicine. They were sure that it would be the death of Grandma Xu.

Even if she survived, she would likely end up in a vegetative state, anyway, and this house would eventually go to Xu Hong.

As a bonus, they could also pursue their extortion of Xu Xuan’s classmates. They were well-dressed and carried themselves with fine air, so they must come from wealthy families. The couple just needed to apply the right pressure, and they would have no choice but to compensate them for harmingGrandma Xu.

It was a win-win for Xu HongandLiu Zhi.

They stared avidly at Qin Jing, not really caring that the bowl was almost empty. ‘That’s it, feed it all to her.’

Truth be told, they could have applauded the girls for their valiant efforts, and for playing right into their hands.
