The old man's son and daughter-in-law still didn't move aside.
The old man's son, looking unreasonable and belligerent, said, "What surveillance, what surveillance? I'm telling you both, if you don't pay up today, you're not leaving!"
As he spoke, the old man's son even started to get physical, pushing Qin Yi's chest with his hand.
Qin Yi raised an eyebrow and pushed back. The old man's son stumbled back several steps, landing on his rear on the ground.
It was a joke; tangling with Qin Yi was asking for trouble.
The old man's daughter-in-law gasped and quickly helped the man up, asking with concern, "Husband, are you alright???"
Then, she turned back and glared at Qin Yi, "You dare hit my husband, I'll fight you!"
Like a shrew, she lunged at Qin Yi, raising her hand to slap him.
However, before her hand could land, Han Xin, standing beside Qin Yi, slapped her across the face.
*Slap.*
A clear, crisp sound echoed as the old man's daughter-in-law stood stunned.
Han Xin's face was icy, exuding an innate aura of authority that made the old man's daughter-in-law feel intimidated. She clutched her stinging cheek, too shocked to speak.
"We kindly saved your mother and specifically brought her to the hospital. If you're not grateful, you then try to extort us without understanding the situation..." Han Xin spat coldly, "Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"
"I..."
Under Han Xin's formidable presence, the old man's daughter-in-law wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
The old man's son recovered and pointed at Han Xin, cursing, "You hit my wife, I'll fucking kill you!"
He then charged forward aggressively, intending to hit Han Xin.
But with Qin Yi beside her, how could he succeed?
As soon as he charged, Qin Yi delivered a kick, sending him to his knees. He clutched his stomach, his face contorted in pain, unable to stand for a while.
The old man's daughter-in-law snapped back to reality, seeing her husband groaning in agony, unable to even speak.
She no longer dared to attack Qin Yi or Han Xin. Instead, she started shouting.
"Someone help! These two people brought my mother to the hospital, and not only did they refuse to pay, they also assaulted us..."
Her cries attracted the attention of passersby in the hospital. They stopped and looked their way.
Hearing the old man's daughter-in-law's words and seeing her husband kneeling in pain, the onlookers initially pointed and cursed at Qin Yi and Han Xin.
Qin Yi and Han Xin felt both angry and speechless at the scene.
The old man's daughter-in-law, however, was beaming with smugness.
Just then, a doctor in a white coat approached and said to Han Xin, "Ms. Han, the old lady's condition has stabilized. She just needs a period of rest."
He was, undoubtedly, the doctor who had treated the elder earlier.
After speaking, the doctor noticed the situation and asked with surprise, "Uh... Ms. Han, what's going on here???"
Han Xin looked at the old man's son and daughter-in-law and said, "They are that old woman's son and daughter-in-law. They claim we hit the old woman and are demanding compensation!"
The doctor was taken aback.
He then approached the old man's son and daughter-in-law and said, "I am your mother's attending physician. There are no signs of her being hit by a vehicle on your mother. She fainted due to a pre-existing medical condition. I can testify to this!"
The doctor spoke at a volume that allowed everyone nearby, not just the old man's son and daughter-in-law, to hear him clearly.
Suddenly, the accusations against Qin Yi and Han Xin ceased. Many people wore embarrassed and sheepish expressions.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the old man's son and daughter-in-law's faces flickered.
But to Qin Yi and Han Xin's surprise, after their expressions changed, the daughter-in-law still said, "This doctor knows you, you're in cahoots! Of course, he'd take your side!"
"Regardless, I don't care. My mother was hit by you, and you must pay! And you hit me and my husband just now, so you have to compensate us too!"
"Otherwise, this matter isn't over!"
It was clear that the couple had resorted to shameless trickery, determined to extort money from Qin Yi and Han Xin.
The doctor was also at a loss for what to do in this situation.
However, a moment later, he seemed to have an idea. He walked closer to the couple, keeping a slight distance, and lowered his voice, saying, "You should think carefully. Ms. Han's status is extraordinary. She is the CEO of Han Corporation, and her father is the richest man in Hai City, Han San Wan..."
"Are you sure you still want to extort her?"
"!!!"
"..."
As the doctor uttered these words, to no one's surprise, both the old man's son and daughter-in-law froze on the spot.
Their faces simultaneously showed expressions of shock!
They had never dreamed that Han Xin's background was so significant!
When they regained some composure, they no longer dared to demand money from Qin Yi and Han Xin.
It was a joke; knowing Han Xin's background, even if they had a hundred more lives, they wouldn't dare.
Trying to extort the daughter of Hai City's richest man was like an old man hanging himself, wishing for a longer life.
Therefore, the old man's son stood up from the ground and changed his tune, "Uh, we're really sorry about that just now. Th-this was all a misunderstanding! We apologize!"
"Yes, yes, it was all a misunderstanding!" the old man's daughter-in-law also hurriedly said, "Thank you for bringing our mother to the hospital, thank you..."
Han Xin didn't wait for them to finish speaking. She walked past them and headed out of the hospital.
Qin Yi glanced at the couple, with no intention of further engagement, and followed her out.
As Qin Yi and Han Xin left, the surrounding people started scolding the couple again, calling them shameless and ungrateful.
The couple flushed red from the insults and fled the scene as if escaping.
They were filled with regret, having gained nothing and instead endured a beating and public condemnation!
If they were given another chance, they would never dare to extort Qin Yi and Han Xin again.
...
Han Xin drove Qin Yi back to his opulent residence.
Upon returning home, it was not yet nine o'clock in the evening, so Zheng Shufen and Qin Lei were still awake.
As soon as Qin Yi entered the house, Qin Lei approached him, interrogating, "Brother, why are you back so late again? Spill it, where have you been?"
Qin Yi's face immediately showed a few dark lines. "I was on a date with your Sister Xin. What, you want to control this too?"
"Dating Sister Xin!"
Qin Lei said, "If you're with Sister Xin, then it's fine!"
With that, she turned to leave.
But before she could take a step, Qin Yi grabbed her by the collar.
Then, he flicked her forehead with his finger.
"Ouch..."
"If you're disrespectful and try to control your elder brother again, see how I deal with you!"
