Chapter 113: Obstruction

~7 min read 1,299 words

When Su Yichen and Zhang Lulu hurried to the street corner, the scene was already surrounded by people three layers deep.

Her gaze piercing through the bustling crowd, Su Yichen recognized the man with silver hair and a black leather jacket at a glance—who else could it be but Chu Yehan?!

"Chu Yehan, stop right there!"

Su Yichen shouted, pushing through the crowd to get inside, only to see a man lying on the concrete, covered in blood and unrecognizable.

"Xing'er, he's that dog who was putting up posters everywhere and spreading rumors about you! I taught him a lesson for you!"

Chu Yehan gritted his teeth, saying each word clearly. His eyes were still stained with lingering malice and murderous intent.

"Shut up!"

Su Yichen had already guessed the cause of the matter, but with a life at stake, she had no heart to pursue any responsibility.

"Chu Yehan, who told you to act on your own like this! By doing this, you are practically pushing me into a pit of fire!"

"Xing'er, I won't allow anyone to hurt you! This brat was asking for death! But don't worry, I left him a dog's life so we can dig out the person behind him."

"My affairs don't need you to manage! Move!" Su Yichen's delicate brows stood upright, her eyes burning with raging anger.

Seeing that Su Yichen was truly angry, Chu Yehan had no choice but to wave his hand and give an order:

"Move aside."

The gang members "whooshed" and cleared a path. Su Yichen walked over in two steps, crouched beside the man, and reached out to check his breathing, her face full of tension.

After feeling the faint breath against her fingertips, Su Yichen let out a long breath.

Fortunately, the man was still breathing.

However, his breathing was already very weak and mixed with a heavy wheezing sound; his lungs were likely hemorrhaging. Judging from the wound on his chest, at least three ribs were broken, and there was internal bleeding as well.

Su Yichen leaned down, pressed her cheek against the man's blood-stained chest, held her breath, and listened quietly for over 30 seconds... Then, she slightly raised his upper body, tilted his head to one side, and without caring about the blood and filth in the man's mouth, she inserted her fingers to clear the clotted blood from his oral cavity.

"He has massive internal bleeding! He needs emergency surgery! No one move him, wait for the ambulance to arrive!" Su Yichen commanded with a grave expression.

As she spoke, she took off her own coat and carefully covered the man with it. For someone with massive bleeding, the greatest fear is hypothermia; keeping him warm was a crucial step.

Seeing this scene, everyone went quiet. Their eyes were filled with surprise, admiration, and a hint of respect.

Chu Yehan's face, however, turned pale, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

Just then, the unconscious Chen Dahai, lying on the ground, suddenly had his lips tremble, and he let out a difficult plea:

"Save... my wife, and the child..."

"Please... save... them..."

Su Yichen turned her head sharply and realized that a crowd had gathered not far away as well. She didn't know what was happening, only hearing bursts of a woman's painful moans from within.

"I am a doctor, let me go in and see!"

Su Yichen walked over quickly, her expression cold and stern.

The residents of Happiness Street gathered around were just about to make way for Su Yichen when an old man with white hair and an overbearing aura jumped out from the crowd—it was Li Daye, who had been taught a lesson by Chu Yehan just a few days ago.

Li Daye was over 60 years old and was a "veteran" of this residential area. He had been "upright and righteous" his whole life, fighting against heaven, earth, and all kinds of evil forces, and had never lost. He hadn't expected that in his old age, he would be taught a lesson by a white-haired brat! How could he swallow his anger?

"You say move and we move? Who are you?" Li Daye said aggressively: "You are clearly in the same gang as those gangsters from before! And you're a murderer who bleached your identity to open a black-hearted clinic! What if you treat someone and cause a problem?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lulu was about to explode with anger. She took a step forward and said aggressively:

"You old bastard! Who is a murderer, who is running a black-hearted clinic! Don't you go around slandering people here! Don't you have any self-awareness about Dr. Shen's character and medical skills? Don't think that just because Dr. Shen can't be bothered to deal with you, you can bully us! Some people just rely on their age to act like bullies and spout filth!"

"You... you..."

Li Daye was stunned by Zhang Lulu's words, his mouth hanging open for a long time, but he couldn't say a single word.

Su Yichen chuckled inwardly, not expecting that Lulu, who usually looked like a carefree and gentle girl, could be so sharp-tongued. However, she still pulled Zhang Lulu aside and said softly: "Lulu, you stand back first."

"Dear elders, neighbors, we can talk about the Xiaoman Clinic later. Saving lives is urgent. Please move aside and let me see the patient."

Su Yichen walked to the front of the crowd and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Li Laotou, in a fit of rage, spread his arms to block Su Yichen, his eyes wide open.

"With me, Old Li, here, you murderer, don't even think about going in to harm people!"

Zhang Lulu was so angry she gritted her teeth.

"You keep calling her a murderer—aren't you afraid that your tongue will rot from all the slander and rumors!"

As she spoke, she turned and tugged on Dr. Shen's sleeve, saying indignantly: "Dr. Shen, why don't we just leave? It has nothing to do with us anyway! Why suffer this humiliation here!"

Seeing the situation before her, Su Yichen couldn't help but purse her lips helplessly. Even though she wanted to save the person, she was at a loss for what to do right now.

Just then, Zou Dama, who had been to the Xiaoman Clinic for treatment, gritted her teeth and stood out.

"Old Li, move aside quickly. If something happens to Dahai's wife, who can take responsibility for that!"

Li Daye, however, had a "death-defying" expression.

"The ambulance is coming soon, a few minutes won't matter! Besides, if she treats her and something goes wrong, let's see who you go to for responsibility!"

"Dr. Shen is a proper doctor, how could she cause problems? Old Li, you are being too unreasonable!"

"Heh, I'm unreasonable? If she really treats the person to death, and you can take responsibility, then I'll move." Li Laotou sneered.

Hearing Li Laotou's words, Zou Dama's face darkened, and she had to retreat to the side sheepishly.

In the crowd, the woman's painful moans continued to come. Everyone was in a state of chaos, standing by with pale faces... but no one dared to step forward to pull Li Laotou away.

Although they knew in their hearts that Dr. Shen was definitely not a black-hearted doctor or a charlatan, when it came to life and death, no fool wanted to be the "first bird to be shot."

Su Yichen had no choice but to sigh helplessly...

Just then, a sudden, harsh "clatter" sounded from the center of the crowd, as if a flowerpot had smashed onto the ground.

Immediately after, a woman's voice came, panting and seemingly enduring great pain, but firm beyond measure.

"All of you... move aside! Let Dr. Shen... come in!" ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
