Chapter 91

"A seventy-year-old woman falls in front of a door, ruthlessly driven away by the shop owner!"

Then,

Zhu Tao topped up another 500 yuan,

directly enabled personalized recommendations for this video, and then uploaded the video straight to Douyin.

These things,

Yang Tao and Qin Feng knew nothing about.

And at this moment, Yang Tao

was at the hospital,

looking at the doctor with a face full of surprise and asking: "No way, Doctor, did the old lady really fall and break a bone?!"

"Yes."

The emergency doctor pointed at the old lady's CT scan,

and said: "Look here, a fracture of the left fibula. It needs a plaster cast for fixation, and later it will require bed rest. You go pay the fees in a bit; it's estimated she'll need to stay for at least seven or eight days."

"Got it, Doctor."

Yang Tao responded,

came to the emergency ward bed,

and then looked at the old lady: "Old lady, give me your ID card, I'm going to handle your hospitalization and pay the fees."

"What? ID card?"

Hearing that she needed an ID card, the old lady's expression changed: "No, I don't have one."

"How is that possible?"

The two police officers heard this and couldn't listen anymore: "Old lady, if you don't have an ID card, you aren't a citizen of our Great Xia. If you aren't our citizen, you don't enjoy legal protection!"

Frightened by the police,

the old lady hesitated.

After a while, she looked at the bag placed to the side: "My ID card is in my bag, get it yourself. Also, there's over three thousand yuan in my bag, you are not allowed to touch it!"

"Got it, I won't make you spend money."

Yang Tao responded helplessly,

opened the old lady's bag,

and sure enough, it contained a stack of brand-new banknotes.

Yang Tao searched through it,

didn't find the ID card,

but found a business card for Zhu Tao.

Zhu Tao?!

How could this old lady have his business card?!

Yang Tao looked up at the old lady,

and seeing the old lady staring at her motionlessly,

Yang Tao remained silent,

and continued to search,

only then pulling out the old lady's ID card,

and putting the bag back in its original place.

[Group: 554707555]

Seeing that Yang Tao had indeed only taken the ID card,

the old lady finally relaxed and started complaining about being hungry.

Yang Tao smiled helplessly,

and after promising to buy the old lady something to eat,

she took the old lady's ID card and headed toward the payment counter.

After walking for a while,

Yang Tao thought more and more that something was wrong,

so,

[Group: 255595300]

she took out her phone and dialed Qin Feng's number.

A few seconds later,

Qin Feng answered the phone: "Hello? Have you figured it out?"

"No, Boss, something's up."

Yang Tao hesitated for a moment,

then recounted the old lady's situation in detail,

and then mentioned her discovery.

Finally,

Yang Tao said very suspiciously: "Boss, could it be that this old lady was hired by Zhu Tao to cause trouble?"

"Even you think so, then it must be."

Qin Feng nodded slightly: "Yang Tao, is this style very 'Zhu Tao'?"

"Mm, he's done this kind of brainless thing many times!"

Yang Tao nodded, but then asked with confusion: "But Boss, what I find strange is that the old lady really did break a bone, and it's a leg bone!"

"No rush, the fracture will be figured out. However, let's solve the matter of the old lady blackmailing first."

Qin Feng thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Yang Tao, you said there were several thousand brand-new banknotes in the old lady's wallet, right?"

"Yes, a quite thick stack, probably three or five thousand, very new, but the other banknotes in the bag were a bit old."

"Alright, I know. You first communicate with the police according to the method I told you, and then try to bluff that old lady."

After Qin Feng finished speaking,

he explained his method in detail.

After hearing Qin Feng's method,

Yang Tao suddenly saw the light and nodded seriously.

First, she opened a medical card for the old lady and topped it up with two hundred thousand yuan directly,

which made the finance officer in charge of the top-up freeze for a moment.

After the top-up was finished,

Yang Tao returned to the emergency ward,

found an excuse,

and spoke with the two police officers privately.

The three of them came to the hospital hallway,

and Yang Tao didn't hide anything,

saying directly: "Two officers, to tell you the truth, I'm being blackmailed by this old lady."

The two police officers looked at each other,

and then,

one of the older officers said: "Miss, we aren't trying to make things difficult for you. To be honest, the old lady fell at your shop entrance, so it doesn't have much to do with you."

"But you've also seen that this old lady is quite old, so we have no choice. We can only ask you to take on a portion of the responsibility. But don't worry, Miss, we definitely won't let you pay too much."

"How about this: you handle the old lady tonight, and then you won't have to come anymore. I'll tell the old lady that if she has any issues, she can come find us."

"Is that okay, Miss?"

After the officer finished speaking, he looked at Yang Tao.

Yang Tao shook her head: "Officer, that's not what I meant."

“What I mean is, the old lady was instigated by someone to specifically target me. As for why she actually suffered a fracture, I think that was just an accident.”

“Instigated by someone?”

The two police officers were taken aback.

Their expressions gradually grew serious: “Miss, tell us in detail.”

Subsequently,

Yang Tao recounted some of the grievances between herself and Zhu Tao, the harsh words Zhu Tao had spoken last time, and the fact that she had found Zhu Tao’s business card in the old lady’s bag.

The police officers exchanged a look.

Then, frowning, they said: “Miss, even if what you say is well-founded, there is no direct evidence. Without evidence, we have no way to make a judgment.”

“Moreover, although the old lady has a fracture, we only wanted you to take responsibility for a few hundred yuan. Once you leave tonight, this matter will have nothing to do with you anymore...”

“It has everything to do with me.”

Yang Tao smiled slightly: “Officers, I have already deposited 200,000 yuan directly into the old lady’s medical card. Now, can I directly accuse the old lady of suspected large-scale extortion?”

“200,000?!”

Both police officers were somewhat astonished.

They exchanged another look.

Then, looking at Yang Tao, they nodded and sighed: “Fine, women these days are becoming more ruthless than the last!”

“Let’s go, let’s head inside. We will cooperate with you in the investigation.”

“Alright, thank you, officers.”

Yang Tao gave a sly smile and walked into the emergency ward.

The orthopedics ward had been overcrowded these past few days,

so,

even though the old lady was about to be transferred to orthopedics,

she had to remain in the emergency ward for the time being, waiting for a vacancy in orthopedics to open up before being transferred.

Arriving at the old lady’s side,

Yang Tao’s expression remained normal.

She first prepared the meal and placed it in the old lady’s hands,

then had the old lady watch her open the bag and put the ID card inside.

However,

after putting the ID card away,

Yang Tao casually pinched two brand-new banknotes,

and then, feigning surprise, looked at the old lady and said: “Old lady, there’s something wrong with this money of yours!”

“Nonsense.”

The old lady didn’t even lift her head: “That money is brand new; how could there be anything wrong with it? Miss, don’t try to fool me.”

“It’s really not.”

Yang Tao smiled slightly: “Old lady, I used to work at a bank. I dealt with money every single day. I can tell if money is real or fake just by touching it.”

“Old lady, don’t look at how new this money is; I can confirm it’s fake. Old lady, carrying this much fake money on you is illegal!”

After Yang Tao finished speaking,

[Resource Group]

The two police officers walked over, cooperating perfectly.

Seeing this, the old lady panicked: “Miss, don’t talk nonsense. This is definitely real money, it’s real money!”

“No.”

Yang Tao shook her head firmly: “This is all fake money. I just touched it, and there’s at least three thousand. Old lady, carrying three thousand yuan in fake money is truly illegal. This matter must be handed over to the two officers to handle!”

After Yang Tao finished speaking, she took the money out of the old lady’s bag and prepared to hand it to the police for inspection.

Seeing this, the old lady was completely panicked: “This money isn’t mine, it isn’t mine! It was a wedding shop owner named Zhu Tao who gave it to me. This three thousand yuan was all given to me by him!”

Hearing this, the police officer immediately stepped forward and pressed: “Speak, why did he give you money?!”

“He, he wanted me to intentionally fall in front of that girl’s shop door, to make a scene with that girl, so they couldn’t open for business!”

In her panic, the old lady blurted out the truth.

Hearing this, the police officer glanced back at Yang Tao,

then looked at the old lady again,

and said in a stern tone: “Old lady, I’m giving you a chance now. Tell us the whole process from beginning to end, clearly.”

“Also, I’ll tell you this: the girl already deposited 200,000 yuan into your medical card. If you don’t explain everything clearly, she can completely use the charge of extortion to send you straight to prison!”

“Ah???”

The old lady turned pale with fright, then said with a mournful face: “I’ll tell, I’ll tell everything...”
