Chapter 1478: Encountering a Scam?

When Lin Feng left the Longfeng Martial Hall, it was already past eleven. He didn’t delay further, drove all the way, and soon arrived outside Qingshan residential area where Tang Rou’s small home was located.

As he approached the entrance of the residential area, there were quite a few pedestrians on the road. Lin Feng slowed down the car and drove in slowly. Lin Feng prided himself on his driving skills, and at such a slow speed, there should be no problem. Suddenly, he saw an elderly lady with a poodle beside his car let out a painful cry, and directly fell to the ground…

Could it be a scam? Lin Feng looked at the elderly lady speechlessly and hit the brakes. He was very sure that his car had absolutely no contact with the lady. However, whether or not it was a scam, he had to get out of the car to check the situation.

Lin Feng stopped his car, got out from the driver’s seat, walked to the side of the fallen elderly lady, and saw the red poodle anxiously whining as if it was worried.

“Poodles are considered one of the smartest dog breeds. Could this poodle know its owner’s medical history and is trying to warn?” Lin Feng thought, no longer hesitating, he squatted down next to the elderly lady and reached out to check her pulse.

Nearby, many pedestrians saw that something had happened here. They gathered and started discussing:

“What happened? Did this young man hit someone? Whose relative is this elderly lady?”

“I don’t know, this elderly lady looks unfamiliar… But everyone, be alert, whether he hit her or not, don’t let this young man run away, else there will be big trouble…”

“Of course, don’t let him run away, stop him, stop him…”

“What’s this young man doing? Not calling 120 for emergency? Does he think he can save someone himself?”

…

While diagnosing the fallen elderly lady’s condition, Lin Feng ignored the words and actions of these passersby. With this pulse check, he really found out the reason for the lady’s fall… This elderly lady probably fainted due to cardiovascular diseases. Such diseases are common among middle-aged and elderly people, very prevalent, and difficult to completely cure. However, the medical book Lin Feng studied recorded an acupuncture method for the emergency treatment of such diseases.

Without thinking much, Lin Feng was about to return to his car to get a needle bag… The needles he carried with him were large enough to be used as weapons, whereas treating cardiovascular diseases required small needles, and his needle bag was in the car.

“Hey, young man, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to run away?!”

“How disgraceful! You hit someone and still want to escape?! Look at you, dressed so neatly, driving a BMW, yet so despicable!”

“Don’t let him get back in the car and run away…”

The onlookers saw Lin Feng walking towards the car, thinking he was trying to escape. They became agitated and blocked Lin Feng, loudly rebuking him.

Lin Feng frowned, not expecting so many agitated onlookers to obstruct his actions. However, these were ordinary people, and Lin Feng could not use force on them. Just as he was about to explain that he didn’t intend to run, a woman in her thirties, dressed simply, suddenly squeezed out from the crowd and lunged towards the elder lying on the ground, exclaiming, “Ma’am, what happened to you? Don’t scare me…”

The simply dressed woman’s voice was full of panic. She had just gone to the restroom briefly, and upon returning, she saw this scene… If something happened to the elderly lady on the ground, she couldn’t shoulder the responsibility.

The onlookers realized that this simply dressed woman seemed to be the caretaker or maid of the downed elderly lady.

“Don’t worry too much, it’s not your responsibility. This lady might have been scraped by that car… This young man is dishonest, looks like he wants to run…” a “well-meaning person” said to the woman.

The woman’s eyes flashed with agitation, she turned to Lin Feng, somewhat nervously saying, “We can’t let him run away! I’ll call the family first…”

Lin Feng felt speechless. It seemed the misunderstanding was getting deeper, but now, the elderly lady had a blood clot in her brain’s blood vessels. If not treated urgently, there could be very serious consequences. If Lin Feng didn’t act, the ambulance might arrive too late.

However, in the current situation, whatever Lin Feng did would probably be misunderstood.

Lin Feng glanced at the fallen elderly lady and the anxious red poodle whining for its owner, eventually making up his mind. Amid the gasps of bystanders, he forcibly got into the driver’s seat and started looking for the needle bag!

“Bastard, this scoundrel wants to run, everyone stop him…”

“Grab the car door, block the car’s front, don’t let him leave! Pull him down for me!”

Seeing Lin Feng’s actions, countless people screamed, even wanting to physically drag Lin Feng out of the car…

Lin Feng found the needle bag and stepped out of the car when several burly onlookers rushed over, trying to grab Lin Feng’s arm and control him… Their enthusiasm was kind, but timing was everything; Lin Feng felt utterly wronged.

“Let go! I wasn’t trying to run!” Lin Feng’s temper flared a bit. He glanced at the people pulling his arm and said in a deep voice.

“Behave yourself! Don’t try anything funny! You want to run after hitting someone in our residential area… Don’t be delusional!” one of the men said to Lin Feng in a deep voice.

“I didn’t hit anybody…” Lin Feng casually explained, effortlessly breaking free from the grip of the three.

“Hey, how dare you move…” the earlier man said angrily, intending to take action against Lin Feng, but was stopped by another slightly older man.

“Don’t be impulsive. I feel that he isn’t trying to run away. Look at what he is holding in his hand…”

The man hesitated for a moment, looking at the acupuncture bag in Lin Feng’s hand, frowning slightly, “That’s an acupuncture kit? Is this young man a doctor?”

“Seems like it…” the older man nodded, half believing and half doubting.

Others, seeing Lin Feng get into the car to grab the acupuncture kit, also realized they had misunderstood Lin Feng. Embarrassed, they withdrew their hands, but they continued to watch Lin Feng closely, fearing he might suddenly seize a chance to slip away.

Lin Feng approached the fallen elderly lady with the acupuncture kit, selected a suitably small needle, cleaned and disinfected it, and was about to use Inner Strength to perform acupuncture to clear the blocked blood vessel… When the nursemaid, who had just finished her phone call, saw Lin Feng’s actions, she showed an extremely panicked expression:

“What do you intend to do?! Don’t act recklessly!” The nursemaid rushed to Lin Feng, attempting to forcibly seize the Silver Needle from Lin Feng’s hand, shouting, “Do you want to kill me?!”
