Si Mingjing listened to Zhang Muguang’s description of the symptoms and the prescription he had provided and found no issues.
Her master’s descendant was actually quite skilled in medicine.
The passersby also understood now. It turned out the patient had taken medications recklessly and encountered problems because of it, so the doctor couldn’t be blamed, right?
Li Yuelan glared at Zhang Muguang, her eyes ferocious. "You’re clearly making excuses! I just wanted my daughter to get better sooner, so I had her take both medicines. You never said the consequences would be this serious. Now that my daughter has ended up , if you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll destroy this tiny, pathetic clinic!"
Si Mingjing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Taking medicine without following medical advice and then blaming the doctor for the problems that arose—no wonder her master said that it’s difficult to be a doctor on Earth.
Zhang Muguang was clearly a gentle and shy young man, completely at a loss when faced with such aggressive behavior.
"You brat, give me my daughter’s life back!"
Someone from the family suddenly charged at Zhang Muguang.
A slightly overweight man, brandishing a kitchen knife, swung it as if he desperately wanted to kill Zhang Muguang.
The attacker moved too quickly. Before Zhang Muguang could react, the knife was already heading for his arm.
The knife sliced through Zhang Muguang’s black down jacket. "AAAH!" White feathers scattered like falling snow, some landing on Si Mingjing’s face.
Si Mingjing’s eyes twitched violently. She kicked the knife-wielding man, sending him flying.
The man fell to the ground but, unwilling to give up, scrambled back to his feet. He continued waving the knife at Zhang Muguang, his eyes fierce and brutal, determined to fight him to the death.
The man was the child’s father, Sun Peng. His daughter had developed cerebral palsy, and at this moment, he had lost all reason. He only desired to kill the doctor to vent his anger. Sun Peng’s wrath didn’t even spare Si Mingjing, who was protecting Zhang Muguang.
The onlookers, who had been watching the commotion, all screamed in alarm.
Ye Shen was also startled.
Before Sun Peng’s knife could land on Si Mingjing, Ye Shen swiftly applied a restraining hold, pinning him down. Several passersby, fearing a fatality, also intervened. Together, they held Sun Peng tightly to the ground.
Some concerned onlookers had already called the police.
The scene was utter chaos.
Li Yuelan shouted, "Let go of my man!"
Si Mingjing rebuked her sharply, hitting the nail on the head, "You’d be better off telling your man to be rational. If someone dies, he’ll go to prison. Then, with an imprisoned husband and a daughter with cerebral palsy, your life will be even harder."
Li Yuelan took Si Mingjing’s words to heart and somewhat reined in her belligerence. "Honey, calm down a bit."
Sun Peng roared, "How can I stay calm? Our daughter has ended up ! Even if it means going to jail, I want this goddamn incompetent doctor to pay with his life; otherwise, I’d be failing as a father!"
Si Mingjing stated bluntly, "Calm down. Your daughter can still be treated!"
Sun Peng, pinned to the ground, struggled fiercely. "Don’t joke with me! Even Western doctors said there’s no cure!"
"They can’t cure her, but I can!"
Si Mingjing’s aura was commanding. "If you keep causing a scene and delay her treatment, then you’ll truly be failing as a father!"
Sun Peng looked at Si Mingjing. She’s so young, barely twenty, probably not yet experienced in the ways of the world. How could he possibly believe her?
"Stop trying to fool me! What do you know about medicine?!"
Si Mingjing raised her hand and pointed at Ye Shen. "I’m currently treating Mo Yinhe. Even Mo Yinhe sought my medical expertise. Do you think I know what I’m doing? If you don’t believe me, ask this handsome fellow. He’s Mo Yinhe’s younger brother."
Though Ye Shen might act like an absolute bootlicker in front of his brother, he had a commanding presence when dealing with outsiders.
He stood protectively in front of Si Mingjing, like a towering mountain.
"That’s right! She’s my brother Mo Yinhe’s personal physician. You surely recognize me, don’t you? Look closely! I am Mo Yinhe’s biological younger brother, Ye Shen!"
