The next morning.
Li Chuan was still sleeping with Ma Yuanzhi in his arms.
There was a commotion outside the martial arts school.
These days, Li Chuan had been staying at the Ma Family Martial Arts Hall. During the day, he studied the pill formulas, and at night, he engaged in Dual Cultivation with his senior sister. Life couldn't be any more blissful.
In the morning, it was supposed to be their ti for morning exercise, but unexpectedly, soone disturbed their mood.
This made Li Chuan very unhappy.
Ma Yuanzhi was also very unhappy.
"Senior sister, you worked hard last night, sleep a bit more, I'll go out and see what's going on."
Li Chuan kissed Ma Yuanzhi and then got up to go to the front yard.
The front and back yards of the martial arts school were separate, with several courtyards in between.
Early in the morning, so junior brothers had already started practicing in the front courtyard.
Yet, when Li Chuan walked to the front, he found a few junior brothers with bruised faces gathered at the entrance, with a group of people holding stones, eggs, and rotten vegetables, smashing them inside the martial arts school haphazardly.
The scene was in complete chaos.
"Get the hell out of here! Or else don't bla for getting physical."
Li Chuan, already feeling grumpy from the disturbance to his morning exercise, was even more furious seeing the state of the school.
Standing at the forefront was a middle-aged man around forty, shouting angrily, "Everyone look! It was this bastard! He's the one who caused the death of my parents."
As he spoke, the group started throwing stones, rotten eggs, and vegetables at Li Chuan.
They were putting all their strength into the attack!
"Bastards! Just because the tiger is quiet, you think it's a sick cat."
Li Chuan grabbed a large Guan Dao from a nearby weapon rack and knocked away the stones, eggs, and vegetables coming at him.
Then he stepped forward, kicked the leading middle-aged man flying, and swept his leg across, sending the crowd sprawling.
Though these middle-aged n seed fierce, in front of Li Chuan, they were just there to be defeated.
Li Chuan kicked each of the troublemakers out of the martial arts school.
Imdiately, outside on the street, people were falling over, lying on the ground crying and rolling around in pain.
At this mont, an extrely skinny young man suddenly jumped up from the ground, holding a dagger, aiming for Li Chuan's back.
Without turning around, Li Chuan swung the hilt of the Guan Dao backward, sending the young man flying.
"Are you people looking for death?"
Killer intent erged in Li Chuan's eyes.
"Quack doctor! Boy! You caused the death of my grandparents, my third uncle, and my fourth aunt, today I'm going to make you pay."
The ambushing young man, eyes red with fury!
"Nonsense!" Li Chuan, "I haven't treated anyone these days."
"Nonsense! My grandparents took so dicine from here, and after taking it, they died. Who else could it be if not you?" The young man looked venomous, "And now you're even hitting us! It's utterly lawless?"
The young man was extrely agitated.
A junior brother softly explained, "I just asked, the elderly who took the dicine from us yesterday were indeed his grandparents. They took the herbs back, had so in the evening, and died in the morning, so they're making a scene claiming they died because they took our dicine."
Li Chuan's face darkened, "I clearly emphasized yesterday that after taking the herbs back, you absolutely shouldn't take them randomly. You must see a doctor before taking herbal dicine, who told you to eat them indiscriminately?"
The middle-aged man, about forty, shouted, "What's the use of saying this now? My parents are already dead! They were killed by you! You must compensate us."
"That's right! Compensation is a must, or this won't be over."
"Yeah, after taking dicine from your martial arts school, I feel dizzy and weak when walking. You must compensate too!"
"Yeah, after taking your martial arts school's dicine, my leg even hurts more! Your school is harming people!"
Besides that family, so acquaintances originally living nearby also started twisting the truth, trying to extort money.
Why do they say human nature can't withstand tests?
Why do these people remain at the bottom of society?
It's because they deserve it.
The junior brother, trembling with anger: "Our martial arts school, for your convenience, offers free dical treatnt, and now you're slandering us? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
A group of elderly won laughed after hearing this.
Who talks about conscience these days?
Does conscience even compare to the allure of money?
"Enough, why are you saying so much nonsense? If they don't compensate us, we'll make a big deal out of it, call the police. Isn't there a saying these days? The bigger the trouble, the more importance given. The dium trouble, dealt with. Small trouble, ignored."
"To make quack doctors compensate, you have to make a huge scene."
The son of the rogue elders spoke smugly.
Looking at this situation, it seed like they had Li Chuan completely figured out.
The two junior brothers were so angry they couldn't speak.
Li Chuan appeared calm, "You want money, right? Fine, produce the evidence proving the fault lies with our martial arts school. As long as you provide evidence, I'll pay any amount. If you can't provide evidence, then get lost!"
The middle-aged man sneered, "Everyone look! This kid is playing rogue! He doesn't want to give money! We might as well call the police directly."
Soon, soone called the police.
Since soone died, the police took it seriously, Zhao Donglai personally led the team.
However, there were many people around now. To avoid suspicion, Zhao Donglai did not show too much acquaintance with Li Chuan but simply asked a few basic questions.
"Take the deceased back for forensic examination."
"And those of you claiming discomfort after taking dicine from the hall, go to the hospital for checks."
"Everyone, don't gather here. This incident is severe, and we will strictly follow rules, upholding justice according to law!"
Zhao Donglai shouted to the crowd.
"Leave? We're not leaving. What if he runs away when we leave?" The middle-aged man was still being unreasonable.
"That's right, we can't leave!" A group of people hell-bent on getting money was unwilling to disperse at all.
Zhao Donglai said coldly, "There are many suspicious points in this incident; you can't pin him as the culprit based solely on your claims. If you don't disperse, it will constitute creating a disturbance."
The middle-aged man disdained, "His dicine poisoned my parents to death. If he's not the culprit, who is? You're saying we're creating a disturbance. Are you shielding him?"
Zhao Donglai felt speechless.
These were pure troublemakers; reasoning with them was impossible.
And they were already convinced it was Li Chuan's dicine that killed their parents.
Zhao Donglai: "I've already ntioned, evidence is crucial for everything. If the forensic report confirms that taking his dicine caused the issue, then there must be compensation, not only compensation but criminal liability as well."
"Soone, seal the martial arts school; no one is to enter or exit."
"Bring all personnel related to the martial arts school back to the police station."
Zhao Donglai intended for Li Chuan and his party to first return to the police station.
However, this group of troublemakers was already fired up, paying no heed to the police's authority. Without money in hand, they weren't willing to let anyone leave.
