Chapter 27: Close Shave.
Xi Yaobing was trying his best. He tried all the techniques and methods he studied about, he tried for more than 10 minutes, but the patient, which in this case is the old man was not reacting.
Yaobing reached to check the old man's heart rate. His pupil's shrunk, to his surprise the old man's heart rate was just fine. But he clearly saw the old man clutch his heart before collapsing, even the old lady shouted if his heart was acting up again.
'Damn! did I mess up? Was it not something related to Heart? or is it just too complicated? Dammit, my shot at being the protagonist, the national hero, will it all be in vain? Moreover, if this old man has a powerful background like I thought he would, wouldn't his family hold me accountable if something happens to him?' Yaobing was now scared.
"It's been 10 minutes, the old man looks like he has a heart problem. He still shows no reaction, is he dead?"
"Maybe, looks like this young doctor made some mistake and put the old man in an even bigger peril!"
The crowd started talking about all sorts of things. Xi Yaobing started to sweat.
"What! Young Man, you didn't mess up did you?" The old lady said in a fit of rage.
"I.." Xi Yaobing didn't know what to say, he was scared about the consequences.
"You! why did your words suddenly stop?! weren't to quite arrogant and smug when you approached me, what happened now?" The old woman then started to weep.
"If anything happens to my husband, I will not leave you alone, you will have to face the consequences!" she wailed.
"Yes, Yes. We have all recorded everything from the start, there are also CCTV Cameras around the corner, don't even think about escaping!" said someone in the crowd.
Seeing this mess, Long Tian shook his head. He was enjoying the scene with some coffee, now he can't do that, the plot calls.
'So, it's my burden now huh' he thought.
Just as he was about to go near the old couple, someone yet again rushed past him.
The old lady who was weeping and wailing suddenly started to laugh. She put her hand on Xi Yaobing's shoulder.
"Young man, please take a look behind you."
Xi Yaobing was confused, he was already scared. Now he obediently looked back, he was not able understand anything he was in a daze.
The person standing behind Xi Yaobing was the same person who just rushed past Long Tian. He was holding something big and black on his shoulders.
The old man who collapsed also laughed and got up, put his hand on the shoulder on Xi Yaobing.
"Kid, look at the camera, this was a prank. You have been pranked!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening and burst out laughing. The camera had the logo of Grand Central on it.
"Pfft.... What is this bullshit, this is some f'ed up plot" Long Tian said while he spat his coffee out.
'That was a close shave, I almost made a joke of myself on national television.' he thought.
Hearing that this was a prank, Xi Yaobing was both angered and delighted. There were no consequences anymore. He was relieved, he got up and was about to leave, when some kid in the crowd said.
"Mommy, what is that circle on that uncle's pants? It looks wet!"
The crowd and camera's suddenly turned towards Yaobing, yes he pissed himself. Yaobing was so ashamed he started to run off. The crowd started laughing.
[Ding! The host has witnessed a greatly engineered prank. Skill Prankster has reached Beginner Level]
Long Tian was at a loss of words. He sighed heavily and started to walk to home.
