Xiang Dazhong, although he did not utter the final words, Jiang Ning, who had been staring down at the medication in her hand, understood clearly.
She lifted her head, her face bearing a hint of scorn.
"Since when did the price of vitamin pills rise to a hundred yuan each?"
She raised the item in her hand, "Isn’t this thing thirty yuan for a hundred pills?"
Without waiting for Xiang Dazhong to speak, Jiang Ning opened the transparent bag and took a light sniff, "It even has an orange scent."
"Wha, what?" The elderly man beside them stopped reaching for his money immediately upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.
He looked at Jiang Ning, then at Xiang Dazhong, finally resting his gaze on the little bag in Jiang Ning’s hand, "Are these vitamin pills?"
Even as an old man, he wasn’t unfamiliar with the word "vitamins."
When lacking nutrition, doctors would often recommend buying some vitamins or calcium pills to take.
"Yes, grandfather, don’t pay; also, don’t believe these salespeople in the future, they are all scammers!" Jiang Ning responded.
Her gaze fell once more on the bag in her hand.
Because the old man had expressed a desire to buy five pills, Xiang Dazhong had taken out a package with five pills in it.
In the small transparent bag were five orange-flavored vitamin pills.
Each pill was about the size of an adult’s thumbnail, white and round in shape, looking slightly different from ordinary calcium pills.
If it were young people, they certainly would not be so easily deceived, but these elders had probably only encountered the small round types of vitamin pills before, which was why they couldn’t tell the difference.
Xiang Dazhong saw that Jiang Ning was not only ignoring his threat but also directly called him a scammer.
Even though Jiang Ning was speaking the truth, it didn’t prevent Xiang Dazhong from becoming infuriated with embarrassment.
His face darkened as he glared at Jiang Ning, veins on his forehead slightly bulging, as if he was about to lose control of his anger and strike Jiang Ning the next second.
If Qi Xingzhou hadn’t been watching closely, Xiang Dazhong would have attacked as soon as Jiang Ning opened her mouth to speak.
"I’ll remember this!" he uttered darkly, clenching his fists tightly, and turned to leave.
Jiang Ning stepped forward, blocking him with a raised hand, "Hold it, did I say you could go?"
"Yo?" Xiang Dazhong stopped in his tracks and looked at Jiang Ning, who blocked him. When he caught sight of her clear eyes filled with cold intent, Xiang Dazhong suddenly realized, "What, you want to call the police?"
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to reply, Xiang Dazhong sneered, "Go ahead, call them if you dare. I’ve seen plenty of you young people who parade under the banner of justice. You’re just jealous inside because you’re envious of my earnings; you can’t make money and can’t stand to see me do well!"
"If you’re going to call the police, then do it quickly. I would like to enjoy a few days of free food."
Looking at his smug expression, Jiang Ning’s eyes turned cold, and her lips slightly pursed.
Indeed, from the beginning until now, the System had not issued any task prompts, indicating the man’s actions likely did not constitute a crime.
Even if Jiang Ning called the police, at most they would just confiscate the other vitamin pills he had and give him a verbal warning.
The most severe punishment would just be taking him to the station for a few days of detention.
But seeing him pride himself on deceiving the elderly for money, and specifically targeting patients in the hospital, Jiang Ning felt the Flat-bottomed Pan in her pocket seemed to be getting restless.
"System! Is there any medicine in the shop for punishing people?"
Since the law was lenient, she would punish the villain in her own
