Chapter 19: Helping Someone

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was rush hour on their way back. The roads were jammed and the cars were moving at a tortoise speed.

Wu Mei wanted to ask Li Nanchen about the Old Master’s situation, but she felt that the time was not right and swallowed her words.

Perhaps the heavy atmosphere in the hospital had affected them, as the two of them did not communicate with each other throughout the journey.

“Beep, beep, beep…”

“Make way! Save my child, I beg you!”

A heart-wrenching cry could be heard at the most congested part of the road ahead.

Wu Mei rolled down the car window and from far, she saw a woman kneeling in the middle of the road. The woman was hugging a boy who was about five or six years old. The boy’s face was purple and he had difficulty breathing. He even seemed to be foaming at the mouth. He seemed to be suffering from an acute illness. However he was stuck on the road and couldn’t be sent to the hospital to receive treatment.

Emergency situation!

“I’ll go and take a look.” Wu Mei hurried over and shoved the onlookers aside.

A man in a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses was the first to provide emergency treatment. However, looking at his amateurish skills, Wu Mei narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “If you’re an intern doctor, you’d better wait for the ambulance to arrive. Don’t deal with it negligently.”

“Otherwise, it will worsen the child’s condition.”

The doctor felt a little guilty and his hands froze momentarily. When he raised his head and saw that it was Wu Mei speaking, it was replaced with a mocking expression.

“What do you know? A bimbo like you shouldn’t hinder the rescue!”

The crowd looked at Wu Mei’s attire which seemed nothing like a medical staff. They all pointed at her and said,

“What malicious intentions does this woman have!”

“The doctor is trying his best to save him, why is she stopping him? Does she have a grudge against the child?”

A man who seemed to be the boy’s father, stood up agitatedly and pushed Wu Mei when he heard these words. “Who do you think you are? Get lost!”

“…”

Considering that his son’s life was in danger, Wu Mei didn’t stoop to his level. She simply stood by the boy’s side, observing as the boy’s pupils showed signs of dilating.

“If you continue pressing on his chest, he will die in less than ten minutes.”

These words thoroughly enraged the child’s father. He swung his arm to strike Wu Mei.

“One, two, three…”

Wu Mei held up three fingers. As soon as she finished speaking, the boy began to vomit nonstop and even vomited blood. The doctor was so frightened that he stood up and wanted to flee.

Afraid that something would happen to her, Li Nanchen rushed over and instructed his bodyguards to cut off the doctor’s path to prevent him from fleeing.

When the boy’s father saw this scene, he was scared out of his wits. He immediately pulled on Wu Mei’s sleeve and begged, “Don’t go! Please save him! I beg you!”

“Make way, pass the child to me.”

Rolling up her sleeves, Wu Mei ignored the vomit on the floor and knelt down. She moved the boy from his mother’s arms to the flat ground. Then, she gently pressed a few of his acupuncture points. Within about two or three minutes, the boy’s face showed signs of alleviation and his breathing steadied.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise. They cheered and applauded.

This is the real doctor!

“…”

“Thank you! I was blind just now! Please don’t stoop yourself to my level!”

The boy’s parents emotionally sank to their knees and kowtowed nonstop to thank Wu Mei for pulling their son back from the brink of death.

“He has probably had difficulty breathing previously, but you guys didn’t take it seriously. Go to the hospital and have a CT scan done.”

Wu Mei stood up and wiped her fingers. Suddenly, she heard some sarcastic words coming from the crowd.

“It was just a coincidence and you’re lucky! I had already performed emergency treatment for him. Anyone who comes can save him!”

The doctor rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Mei as if she had stolen his glory.

Running into quacks a few days in a row made Wu Mei a little angry. She rushed to the doctor in three strides, grabbed him by the neck with her hand, and effortlessly swung him to the edge of the overpass.

“Help, help… what are you doing!”

The doctor’s body was hanging on the outside. He was so frightened that he nearly peed in his pants.

However, Wu Mei did not care. She loosened her grip and looked at the doctor who was clutching her arm tightly. She sneered and asked, “Aren’t you a doctor?”

“Didn’t you think that your medical skills are outstanding?”

“If I throw you down from here, will you be able to treat yourself?”

Excitement flashed across Wu Mei’s eyes and she said, “I’m really curious. Why don’t we give it a try?”

“No, no, no. I’m an intern doctor. I just made a mistake in the hospital and my license was revoked!”

“Please don’t… Don’t throw me down. I’ll die!”

A few drops of foul-smelling liquid flowed down the doctor’s trouser leg, causing the surrounding crowd to cover their mouths and noses as they criticized him.

Wu Mei couldn’t be bothered to argue with him. She flung him back onto the ground. She watched as he crawled away from the railing like a slug. “So… so scary…”

Li Nanchen, who was far away, scrutinised Wu Mei seriously. She seems to have become another person.

In the past, she has never revealed such martial arts skills or abilities…

Does this mean that he can really believe that she has the medical skills to cure Old Master Li?
