Chapter 62 - Extortion

Chen Yang rushed all the way, finally arriving at Lintianxia Hotel.

He had just parked his electric scooter and walked into the hotel when he saw the lobby filled with people.

“Come take a look, one of your hotel’s waiters,” he didn’t know what he fed my brother,

“After eating, he just started foaming at the mouth and became unconscious!

And you’re telling me the hotel is doing nothing about it?”

In the middle of the crowd, a skinny, blonde troublemaker was shouting back and forth in the lobby incessantly.

The surrounding crowd, meanwhile, was pointing and whispering, their words unclear.

Chen Yang glanced at the blonde a few times, then turned toward the front desk of Lintianxia, where he saw Li Han’s figure.

Li Han was the general manager of Lintianxia Hotel.

Faced with such hooligans causing trouble, she naturally would not deal with it personally, so she could only stay helplessly at the front desk, watching the situation in the lobby closely.

After observing the scene for a bit, Chen Yang walked straight to the front desk, “Li Han, what’s going on here?”

“Chen Yang!

You’re here!”

Li Han was instantly relieved when Chen Yang suddenly appeared at the counter, then she continued, “These two had a meal at our hotel.

Before they could even leave, they started foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

We said we would call for emergency services, but they refused, only demanding compensation.”

“I can see that these two are nothing but ruffians, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Li Han said helplessly.

After listening to Li Han’s explanation, Chen Yang had a good idea of the situation.

“I see, let me handle this.

I’m a doctor, I want to see what’s wrong with them,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Good,” Li Han nodded happily.

She had called Chen Yang over for exactly this reason, to let him check whether these hooligans were actually ill or not.

“I’m telling you!

If you delay any longer and my brother dies here, your entire hotel is finished!

Better compensate me now and take him to the hospital,” the blonde troublemaker was still shouting in the lobby.

The security guards surrounding him were helpless.

At that moment, Chen Yan, accompanied by Li Han, made their way through the crowd to confront the troublemaker.

“Look, you’ve picked the wrong place to scam, this is Lintianxia Hotel, the biggest hotel in the county.

Aren’t you scared that the hotel’s backing will make you regret coming here?” Chen Yang stepped out from the crowd, addressing the blonde.

The blonde was still yelling, but when he heard someone talking to him, he turned his fierce face around.

“Who are you?

Mind your own business!

My brother’s unwell here, and demanding compensation is scamming?” the blonde said fiercely.

“Heh, the general manager of this hotel is my friend, so how does it not concern me?” Chen Yang chuckled in response.

“Oh, the general manager is your friend?

Then it’s easy to talk!

My brother got food poisoning here, notify your friend to come compensate fast.

Without seventy or eighty thousand today, this won’t end,” the blonde retorted, his spirits lifted upon hearing Chen Yang was friends with the general manager.

He thought that those who had dealt with him earlier were unimportant figures.

Now that someone connected to the general manager had arrived, it certainly meant his disturbance had had an effect, making the general manager restless.

“Got food poisoning, huh?

I’ll check on your brother first, I happen to be a doctor,” Chen Yang stepped forward, grabbed the wrist of the man lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, and began to take his pulse.

In just a moment, Chen Yang discovered that the man’s vitals were stable, with no signs of food poisoning at all.

Looking at the foam in his mouth, which even had a slightly minty taste, it was clearly an effect created with toothpaste.

“Listen here!

My brother is already like this, you better back off now and call the general manager to compensate, or if something happens to my brother later, you won’t be able to detach yourself from the blame,” the blonde sneered, threatening from behind Chen Yang.

“Wow, your hotel really is something, with people turning out like this, how could it be fake?”

“I really didn’t expect that the biggest hotel in the county could be so irresponsible, not caring even when a person is like this.”

“Seriously, sending a young guy in his twenties to handle this?

Are they trying to dismiss us?”

As Huang Mao issued his threat, the surrounding onlookers, clueless about the situation, also began to make various comments.

They only saw Huang Mao’s brother lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, which looked severe, without considering anything else.

Some of the more rational onlookers simply stood by, echoing Huang Mao’s demands for the general manager to appear, while the irrational ones started cursing and complaining about the attitude of the Lintianxia Hotel.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yang stood up and said, “Everyone, please calm down.

I am a doctor, and I can tell that these two are just trying to scam us!

Please don’t believe them.”

“Yeah right!

Big talk, just because you say you are a doctor doesn’t mean you are.

Show me your medical license!” Huang Mao said, his face full of smugness.

With the support of the people around him, Huang Mao’s attitude became even more arrogant.

“I don’t have a medical license, but I can cure your brother’s illness,” Chen Yang frowned, then reached out and pressed a point on the waist of the man who was foaming at the mouth.

Chen Yang had pressed his laughter acupoint, and immediately the man stood up from the ground and began laughing uncontrollably.

The man suddenly burst into laughter, startling everyone around.

They were wide-eyed and visibly surprised, struggling to understand what was happening on the scene.

“What…

what did you do to my brother?

Do you want to die?” Just as everyone was shocked, Huang Mao suddenly burst into rage and charged aiming to grab Chen Yang’s collar.

But Chen Yang raised his arm, mimicking the gesture he had used to press the acupoint, and Huang Mao instantly backed away.

Clearly afraid that Chen Yang might do the same to him.

“Didn’t you say your brother was poisoned by the food?

Well, isn’t he cured now?” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“You…” Huang Mao’s face turned ugly, but quickly he said, “Cured?

Didn’t you see my brother has gone completely mad?

This condition is even worse!

Looks like not even a hundred thousand yuan could fix this.”

“Heh, no problem, I can also treat his madness,” Chen Yang chuckled again, then immediately reached out and pressed the same point on the man’s waist, causing him to immediately stop laughing.

Chen Yang’s actions left everyone at the scene utterly stunned.

The onlookers who had previously accused Lintianxia Hotel of faults were speechlessly shocked, and their faces felt as if they were burning…

The situation was now very clear; Huang Mao and his companion were indeed scammers.

Otherwise, how could someone supposedly poisoned by food suddenly stand up and start laughing?

“Shit, how did you do that?” Huang Mao couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Huang Mao knew well that his brother’s foaming was faked, but he hadn’t expected Chen Yang to be so effective, making his brother uncontrollably laugh with a press, and then stopping it with another.

“How I did it is none of your business.

I just want to know if your condition is cured now.

If it’s not, let me help you some more.” As he spoke, Chen Yang raised his hand again, ready to press on Huang Mao and his brother a couple more times.

Huang Mao, frightened, kept retreating, and the man who had been foaming just now shook his head frantically.

“No more, no more, I’m fine,” the man hurriedly said.

“Fine, is it?

Then get lost!

If I catch you scamming in Lintianxia again, I’ll make you laugh for three days and nights!” Chen Yang raised his voice and threatened.

Looking at the angry Chen Yang, Huang Mao’s face turned pale.

Inside, he was also somewhat shaken, not only because of Chen Yang’s imposing figure, but also because of Chen Yang’s mysterious ability to induce laughter, which frightened them.

Out of this fear of Chen Yang, Huang Mao wanted to leave.

But the thought of being exposed by Chen Yang in front of so many people filled him with rage.

If he walked away like this, how could he continue to mix in his circle?

“Damn it!

You’re asking for it!” Huang Mao suddenly roared to embolden himself, then he pulled a dagger from his waist and lunged at Chen Yang.

Huang Mao’s sudden violent act caused a panic among the onlookers, making them hastily retreat!
