Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: The ’Coward’ Has Ten Lives on His Hands

Seeing the beautiful woman take out a small bottle from her bag, he quickly distanced himself.

Even so, the air was still filled with a pungent smell.

"What kind of eyesight is that? Who are you calling big sister?"

Even in pain, the woman was extremely resistant to being called big sister.

Women, especially beautiful women, care a lot about being called old.

Li Jingsheng had encountered many women in their sixties, clearly already grandmothers, and calling them "auntie" would make them very unhappy. What should you call them then? You should call them "sister"...

The woman’s left forehead had a bump from a collision, her face might have been hit, her body probably didn’t have any broken bones, especially since the two layers of fat on her chest were very thick, protecting the chest well.

Pain was certain.

So, sometimes being too skinny is not necessarily a good thing.

Though she’s pretty, she’s more seriously injured without the protection of fat layers.

"Are you alright?"

Li Jingsheng kept a safe distance of over three meters from her.

"I’m fine, you can leave now!"

She gripped the pepper spray tightly, watching Li Jingsheng warily, not giving him any chance to get close.

"Visibly, there’s a hematoma on your left forehead, minor soft tissue injury on your face, your right ankle seems sprained; are you sure you don’t need my help?"

After eyeing her closely for a few seconds, Li Jingsheng asked seriously.

"Are you really the owner of the clinic?"

Without being a professional doctor, there’s no way someone could be this professional.

"Sister, how deeply are you hurt to be so distrustful of others?"

An act of kindness being taken as that of a thief, Li Jingsheng felt truly speechless.

Fortunately, he was a doctor, misunderstanding from patients and their families wasn’t a new thing, he was used to it.

If it were someone else, they might have left this woman long ago.

Psst psst!

She sprayed wildly at Li Jingsheng again with the pepper spray.

"That’s for calling me big sister, for calling me! Get lost!"

She cursed angrily.

"Maybe I should call 120 for you, let the ambulance take you to a hospital. Seeing how irritable you are, calling you big sister was already too young, should call you auntie. Because besides menopausal women, I can’t think of any other woman so irritable."

Though scolded, Li Jingsheng didn’t hold back.

He retorted directly.

Looking at her fair skin and beautiful appearance, she seemed about twenty-seven or eight years old, only her temper was as grand as a princess.

"You... bastard!"

She was enraged to the point of madness.

Li Jingsheng was already calling 120 emergency services for her.

This was the second 120 emergency call he made that night.

"Hurry up and tell them I’m fine, no need to send an ambulance here, you’re misusing public resources, you know that?"

The woman was already standing up with the help of a lamppost.

But as soon as she stood up, she let out a muffled groan, her right foot couldn’t bear any weight, an extremely pained expression appeared on her bewitching face.

Her beautiful dark eyebrows knitted into a frown.

Inwardly, she admitted that this sharp-tongued stranger did have some skills, managing to spot her sprained right foot at a glance.

Li Jingsheng had to explain a couple more words to the 120 operator, then hung up.

"Why don’t you call someone from home to come pick you up? It’s late at night; I’m a wolf that won’t eat you, but if another wolf passes by, who knows what might happen."

He wasn’t trying to scare her.

A pretty young woman, injured foot at such a late hour, could easily fall prey to thugs or ill-intentioned "body snatchers."

"I, I know. You should leave, my family will come to get me soon."

She said this with flickering eyes, likely bluffing.

"Alright then, take care of yourself." Li Jingsheng walked a few steps away, then turned back to remind her. "If you don’t have family around, call a trustworthy friend for help."

This woman seemed unaware of how dangerous the world could be.

Many evils happen when least expected.

He didn’t concern himself with her any longer, leaving her behind as he walked away.

He walked to an intersection about fifty meters ahead, the red light was on, so he had to stop and wait.

Even though there were barely any cars now, he didn’t dare run the red light.

If he got hit, running the light would make it entirely his fault.

The 120 seconds of the red light felt endless!

Riding the ambulance there with the privilege of running red lights, he hadn’t realized how long the wait at this intersection was.

Finally, the red light flickered to yellow, and seeing no cars around, he quickly crossed the street.

"Hey, doctor, come help me!"

The woman’s cry came from behind.

If it weren’t for the quiet night, he wouldn’t have heard it clearly.

Li Jingsheng turned to see the woman limping painfully along, flanked by two young men with dyed yellow hair he hadn’t noticed before. A buzz-cut, earring-wearing young man was on a motorbike on the road.

Due to strict city regulations, any disturbance would easily get complaints, so many motorbike enthusiasts liked to install silencers on their exhausts.

Li Jingsheng himself was a motorbike enthusiast.

Not hearing the engine roar just now indicated that the bike likely had a silencer installed.

Of course, it might also be a modified electric bike.

The three young men clearly weren’t benevolent types; two of them were already trying to approach the woman.

The pepper spray’s effectiveness relies on catching the enemy off guard; if spotted, its power diminishes significantly.

This kind of woman was easy to handle, requiring almost no effort.

Now, their only trouble was this young man.

"Ha! Bleed me? I’ve sent off no less than ten lives, and I don’t mind adding you three."

Li Jingsheng smirked coldly, exuding an aura as powerful as King Yama walking out of hell.

Facing the thug wielding a knife, his gaze showed no fear, and he walked straight towards them.

The two thugs stood off against him, stepping back step by step.

"Damn it, let’s go!"

The guy on the motorcycle spoke up, perhaps realizing Li Jingsheng was not to be messed with.

Unable to discern the background of the opponent, they didn’t know if Li Jingsheng’s claim of sending off no less than ten lives was a bluff or reality.

If it were true, they might all meet their end here.

At the very least, it would be a bloody battle.

Such a loss was unacceptable to them.

Just like a leopard in hunting, if it senses potential injury, it will abandon the hunt.

"Listen up, act like decent human beings, or if I catch you doing this again, well, there’ll be no walking away."

Li Jingsheng still held a powerful aura, his tone full of strong confidence and assurance.

The three thugs on the motorcycle initially wanted to act tough, forcing him to delete the photos, but after Li Jingsheng’s threat, they didn’t dare to make a sound. They revved the engine hard and took off.

Coincidentally, the light ahead was red again.

Whether out of fear of Li Jingsheng catching up, they didn’t slow down and ran the red light.

"Ha, three cowards!"

Li Jingsheng spat harshly in the direction they fled, then tossed away the two handfuls of dirt he had been holding.

This was his ’weapon’ when confronting the enemy just now.

He had calculated it all; as long as he caught the enemy off guard, tossing two handfuls of dirt to temporarily blind them, the woman’s pepper spray would become useful.

As for the thug on the motorcycle, Li Jingsheng wasn’t very afraid of a one-on-one.

After all, a guilty conscience.

The opponents were committing illegal acts and dared not entangle too much with him. For this reason alone, the three thugs lacked the confidence, so it wasn’t surprising they were frightened away.

"I thought you’d run away in fear! Thank you!"

She smiled at Li Jingsheng for the first time.

To be honest, it was incredibly charming, leaving Li Jingsheng momentarily dazed.

"Watch you get taken away and ruined by those three thugs?"

Li Jingsheng sneered in reply.

"I knew you were a good guy, for sure!"

She accompanied the words with a smile, her manner completely different from before.
