Super Strong Little Divine Farmer
Chapter 383: Porcelain Bumping
Lin Chen had just left the Dragon Group base when Zuo Siqi's call came through.
"Lin Chen, don't you want your diploma anymore? Remember you promised me you'd come back for the exams," Zuo Siqi's angry voice came through the phone.
What's with this girl? Could it be her time of the month? She's so fired up.
Feeling a bit down, Lin Chen hung up the phone and drove his Phantom sports car towards the school.
He couldn't help but complain about the traffic in Capital City. A journey that should have taken half an hour took Lin Chen nearly an hour.
Looking at the time, there was one hour left until the end of the exam.
Finally, after getting through the congested section, Lin Chen sped up, approaching the school entrance when he suddenly slowed down.
It was because on the side road, Lin Chen saw a familiar figure riding a bicycle.
An Xiaodi was wearing her school uniform. The super short skirt fluttered in the breeze, almost revealing her white undergarments.
"This girl looks really pretty in her school uniform."
Just then, An Xiaodi suddenly stopped her bike and hurried towards the street corner.
Lin Chen looked that way and saw an elderly lady had fallen on the ground.
People were coming and going on the road, yet no one dared to help her up.
An Xiaodi ran to the old lady's side: "Grandma, where did you fall?"
The old lady glanced at An Xiaodi with a look of disappointment on her face, but she still made sounds of pain.
"Could you lend me a hand, young lady?" the old lady asked pitifully.
An Xiaodi nodded, intending to help the old lady up.
But suddenly, the old lady grabbed An Xiaodi's arm: "Young lady, you can't just leave after hitting someone!"
An Xiaodi was instantly confused. She clearly came over after seeing the lady fall. When did she hit her?
As soon as the old lady shouted, a crowd immediately gathered.
Watching the scene, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew An Xiaodi had encountered a scammer.
At that moment, a look of injustice on her face, An Xiaodi said, "Granny, how can you frame someone? I saw you fall and wanted to help you up. How can you say I knocked you over?"
"You seemed like a well-mannered young lady. How can you lie? I was just coming back from buying groceries and was passing by here when you knocked me down."
Then, a man with triangular eyes in the crowd also began to instigate: "It was this young lady who knocked her over. I saw it with my own eyes."
With a witness stepping forward, the people around started to accuse An Xiaodi.
"She's quite pretty, but her heart is so dark."
"Exactly, it's clear she knocked over the old lady and still pretends to be Lei Feng. It's simply despicable."
Hearing the opinions of the crowd, An Xiaodi was almost in tears, "Please believe me, I really didn't hit her."
As An Xiaodi continued to deny it, the old lady suddenly began to wail loudly, "Oh my heavens! Is there no justice left? I'm hit and the culprit won't admit it. Poor me, an old lady, all alone with no one to take care of me."
Hearing the old lady's crying, the onlookers grew even more sympathetic, "Young lady, you're a college student; you can't be so heartless."
"Right, you must take responsibility for the elderly woman."
At that moment, the man with triangular eyes suddenly acted as if he were a fair judge, "How about this, let your parents come and compensate the old lady with fifty thousand yuan for her medical expenses."
Then, Lin Chen abruptly pushed through the crowd, looked at the old lady, and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, how could the old lady's leg be injured like this? The bone's completely broken. Fifty thousand won't be enough; it'll have to be at least a hundred thousand."
"A hundred thousand!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, both the old lady and the man with triangular eyes were stunned.
This kid wasn't one of their arranged shills. Where did he come from?
An Xiaodi turned her head and saw it was Lin Chen, first startled then immediately understood what Lin Chen's gaze meant.
"How could it be a hundred thousand? Aren't you just bullies?" An Xiaodi said angrily.
At that moment, Lin Chen crouched next to the old lady, pressing on her leg as if diagnosing her condition.
"Ah, ah, ah!"
Suddenly, the old lady let out a scream more tragic than before.
Off to the side, the man with slanted eyes admired to himself, "The old lady's acting is getting better and better. Her acting could totally make her a movie star."
At this time, the old lady grimaced, large beads of sweat rolling down her cheeks instantly.
The pain just now was fake, but now it was genuinely agonizing.
She felt as if her leg had snapped, the pain was excruciating.
"What, what have you done to me?" the old lady pointed at Lin Chen and shouted angrily.
Lin Chen adopted a look of aggrievement. "Old lady, you can't frame people like this. It was clearly her who bumped into you," he said.
Pointing at An Xiaodi, Lin Chen had a face full of grievance.
"You're lying! My leg didn't hurt at all a moment ago. It only started hurting suddenly after you pressed on it," the old lady said through her pain.
Lin Chen's expression suddenly changed. "I understand now; you all must be in cahoots. All three of you are scammers," he said, pointing at An Xiaodi, the old lady, and the middle-aged man with slanted eyes.
The plot twist caught the surrounding crowd by surprise, making them all startle.
Seeing Lin Chen deny it, the old lady became anxious, "You're lying; we aren't together at all."
"Not together? It was clearly her who bumped into you. Stop denying it," Lin Chen said furiously.
"Who says? She didn't bump into me at all just now; I fell on my own. But my leg stopped functioning after you pressed on it," the old lady, in too much pain and verging on fainting, couldn't care less anymore and blurted out the truth.
"So that's how it is. You've been framing this young girl all along!" Lin Chen said, as if he had an epiphany.
After hearing the old lady's admission, the surrounding people instantly understood everything, and they all turned angrily toward the old lady.
"This old woman is shameless, framing a young girl like this."
"No wonder no one dares to help the elderly anymore; it's all because of people like her."
Just then, someone had called the police, and a police car arrived, with three officers stepping out.
Before Lin Chen could speak, the people around them started saying, "Officer, please arrest this old lady quickly; they were trying to scam us here."
The leading police officer glanced at the old lady, his expression shifting slightly, "Wu Po, it's you again, you and your son are out here scamming money."
The middle-aged man with slanted eyes tried to flee but was quickly seized by several enthusiastic onlookers.
Wu Po, with a face of desperation said, "Officer, I really wasn't trying to scam this time; my leg has been broken by that young man."
"Stop pretending; if you won't get up, we'll lift you up," the officer said coldly, seeing Wu Po lying on the ground unwilling to get up.
Wu Po felt extremely frustrated at this moment, not because she didn't want to get up, but because she truly couldn't.
Ever since Lin Chen pressed on her leg a few times, it was as if it had snapped, rendering her incapable of moving.
Seeing Wu Po remain on the ground, the officer snorted and waved his hand, and the other two officers picked her up and put her in the police car.
Wu Po and the middle-aged man with slanted eyes were taken away by the police, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed.
An Xiaodi looked at Lin Chen somewhat surprised, "How come you are here?"
