“Master! Master!” Just as Shen Jing was walking back after finishing her shopping, a sharp cry rang out. Shen Jing looked towards the source of the sound and saw an elderly man lying on the ground at the corner of the alley. He was experiencing full body spasms. Kneeling beside him was a middle-aged man, his face filled with panic.

Shen Jing furrowed her brow and walked over briskly. “Don’t move. If you keep shaking him like that, he’ll be shaken to death by you.”

The middle-aged man looked up sharply upon hearing the voice. Shen Jing naturally squatted down beside him, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Jing take out a silver needle. The words that were about to come out of his mouth changed to, “Are you a doctor?”

“Sort of,” Shen Jing replied casually, opening the needle bag and taking out a silver needle. Her gaze fell on the elderly man lying on the ground, and her movements paused for a moment. It turned out to be him? He was the head of the Mu family, the leading family among the Four Great Families of Hua City, even higher in status than the Shen family.

Shen Jing shifted her gaze away and picked up the silver needle to stab the acupuncture points on the Old Master of the Mu family. However, she was stopped by the middle-aged man. “You want to use needles?” His eyes held skepticism and disbelief. After all, Shen Jing was too young. “Are you a medical student at Beijing University? How confident are you?” The position of Old Master was too important, and he didn’t dare to let Shen Jing casually use needles.

Shen Jing turned her head to look at him, her clear eyes devoid of much emotion. “I currently have an 80% confidence level. If we delay any longer, I don’t know.”

“But…” The middle-aged man hesitated. He had already called for an ambulance, but the Old Master’s illness had acted up too suddenly, and the ambulance would not be here for a while.

Saving a person relies on timing and fate, and Shen Jing wasn’t that kind-hearted. Her tone turned colder. “Take it or leave it, but let me remind you, if we don’t treat him soon, he won’t live for more than five minutes.”

The middle-aged man locked eyes with Shen Jing, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He stood up and bowed ninety degrees to Shen Jing. “I apologize, miss. I was too anxious earlier, and my tone was too harsh. Please do everything you can to save him. I will express my gratitude later.”

Shen Jing’s expression softened slightly, and she replied with a faint “Okay.” in response. She took out the silver needle again and swiftly inserted it into the acupoints. The middle-aged man, witnessing Shen Jing’s technique, assessed her skill with his eyes. Although he wasn’t a medical professional, he had seen many old Chinese doctors administer acupuncture because of the Old Master’s poor health. The young girl in front of him may be young, but her needle technique was as smooth and effortless as that of many experienced doctors, even more so. He didn’t expect there to be such a formidable person in Jingcheng.

“Pfft!” Old Master Mu coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“Master!” The middle-aged man exclaimed in alarm.

“Cough, cough, cough.” Old Master Mu coughed violently, but his breathing became noticeably smoother, and his face regained some color. Only his eyes remained tightly closed.

“He’s fine now, but his body is still weak. Take him to the hospital,” Shen Jing said, putting away the silver needle.

The middle-aged man supported the Mu family patriarch and hurriedly said to Shen Jing. “Miss, what’s your name? I need to take Old Master to the hospital first. I can’t properly thank you now, but I will definitely express my gratitude in the future.”

“My name is Shen Jing.” Shen Jing didn’t have the habit of leaving her name after doing good deeds, but having a connection with the Mu family would benefit the Shen family as well. At that moment, her phone, which was in her pocket, rang. Shen Jing glanced at it and saw a message from Fu Linyuan saying that he had arrived. She nodded at the middle-aged man and turned back.

To reach the street outside, she had to pass through a long alley. However, as soon as she entered, she stopped in her tracks. At the same time, a group of hooligans rushed out, surrounding Shen Jing in the middle.

“Hey, what a beauty we have here!” The leader, a man with green-dyed hair, lit up at the sight of Shen Jing and shamelessly scanned her with his eyes. Despite wearing loose clothing, Shen Jing’s impressive figure was still evident.

“If you don’t want your eyes, shall I dig them out for you?” Shen Jing leaned against the wall and when her calm eyes met the lewd gaze of the man with green hair, she frowned in disgust.

As soon as Shen Jing spoke, the others burst into laughter. “Who would have thought, she’s a spicy one! But with a hot temper, it’ll be more fun to play with!”

“Darling, big brother doesn’t want to hurt you.” The man with green hair approached Shen Jing, rubbing his hands with a lewd expression. “If you obediently let Big Brother enjoy, Big Brother will let you go. Big Brother keeps his promises…” Before he could finish his words, Shen Jing swiftly and forcefully kicked him in the groin. The others hadn’t even had time to react until the man with green hair knelt on the ground, clutching his crotch. They finally realized what had happened and reflexively clamped their legs together, staring at Shen Jing in shock.
