"This..."
How could Shang Yuenong possibly tell the whole truth? If she spilled everything, there was no way Shen Youling would help her!
She decisively edited her story. She claimed that she had run into Lin Tang on the street and suspected he was a con artist. The prescription he gave was fake, she said, and it had terribly harmed Shen Youling's grandfather. So, she had gone to confront him. Humiliated and enraged, he started a fight with her. As the conflict escalated, he resorted to violence, beating her until her face was swollen like a pig's head. He even swore he would kill her to silence her for good.
After hearing the tale, Shen Youling looked stunned. "Yuenong, are you really not lying to me? He didn't just hit you, he wants to kill you?"
"We've known each other for so many years, don't you know me by now? When have I ever lied to you?" Shang Yuenong spoke with a firm tone, showing no hint of a guilty conscience.
