Now reading: Chapter 22: The ’Coward’ Has Ten Lives on His Hands from Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic, a Fantasy novel by Fisherman by the River.

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 sll.

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

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

Won, especially beautiful won, care a lot about being called old.

Li Jingsheng had encountered many won 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, sotis 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 ters 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 soone 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 soone 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 big sister, for calling ! 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 nopausal won, 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 seed 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 ergency services for her.

This was the second 120 ergency 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 extrely 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 so 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 soone from ho to co 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 co to get 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 seed 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 ters 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, co help !"

The woman’s cry ca 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 n 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 n 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.

Those two young n assud defensive stances against being sprayed, evidently not harassing won for the first ti.

Only those who have experienced it can be so seasoned.

The woman had a strong sense of pride and originally wanted to grit her teeth and walk up to Li Jingsheng to scare off the three thugs. Unexpectedly, the red light turned green, and Li Jingsheng quickly crossed the street.

This left her with no choice but to urgently seek help from Li Jingsheng.

Compared to the three thugs, Li Jingsheng obviously seed safer to her.

Li Jingsheng decided to curb the woman’s arrogance, to prevent her from being careless and unable to distinguish right from wrong next ti.

He continued to turn and walk forward.

The pretty woman gritted her teeth in hatred, but her heart was even more flustered.

Being surrounded by two thugs on both sides left her with no chance to secretly call the police.

She didn’t know if Li Jingsheng was timid and unwilling to ddle, or if he was annoyed with her previous harsh words.

"Hey, wait for ! Help , I hurt my foot!"

She completely adopted a tone and manner of acting coy with her boyfriend.

A person under the eaves must bow his head.

The three thuggish n brought her imnse fear and pressure.

Seeking help from Li Jingsheng beca her best way out of trouble.

In the current situation, even calling the police might not be useful. By the ti they arrived, she feared she would already be taken away and hard by the three thugs.

Under extre fear, acting coy with Li Jingsheng wasn’t so difficult anymore.

At least she had proactively overco all psychological barriers.

Li Jingsheng still didn’t look back, continuing to walk forward.

"Coward! Wimp!"

She couldn’t help but curse inwardly, filled with despair.

She was considering the worst in her mind.

Her right hand tightly gripped the pepper spray while the left was bruised from the earlier collision. She still gritted her teeth and quietly touched her small square bag for self-rescue.

The phone was inside.

When the two thugs saw her reaching for sothing in the bag, they exchanged glances, a fierce look in their eyes.

"If you don’t want to die, don’t move, and co with us."

One of the thugs threatened in a low voice while slightly showing a knife gleaming with cold light.

Her face instantly turned extrely pale, and her heart was gripped with extre fear.

At that mont, a flash went off under the dim streetlights, illuminating the area with white light.

Click, click.

Li Jingsheng sohow returned, taking photos of the three thugs with his phone. He didn’t even spare the man on the motorcycle.

"Kid, I advise you not to ddle; otherwise, we’ll bleed you a little!"

How could the thugs easily give up their prey?

They had seen through it — the woman beca obedient as soon as a knife was shown.

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

Now, their only trouble was this young man.

"Ha! Bleed ? 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 ssed 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 et 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 beco 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 ti.

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