Chapter 363: The Same Trick Again

As June began, Jiang Ning's workload at school eased considerably after doctors Liu and Lü were hired by Principal Lin.

At the end of May, a group of graduating seniors were coming up. Jiang Ning had already gained some experience at the school, so Principal Lin specially asked her to work with the Personnel Examination Center to set exam questions for the medical department.

Because after the exams, the school will assign jobs to the students.

Many students are putting in a lot of effort to get into the 615 Hospital.

Finally, Jiang Ning, as the proctor, also selected some students to intern at the hospital.

This was also the task that Dean Kong assigned to her.

After finishing her exams in early June, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

It just so happens that June is exam season, and Jiang Ning has to set exam questions and proctor exams for senior students, so the students in the first, second and third years are temporarily handed over to doctors Liu and Lü.

The weather in June was getting hot, and Jiang Ning's last day of proctoring was her rest day.

Xu Jin came to see Jiang Ning, and the two agreed to go shopping in the city center together.

On their way to the city center, Xu Jin and Jiang Ning were sweating from the heat, so they bought two popsicles from a roadside shop.

Xu Jin took two popsicles and gave the shopkeeper four cents.

Jiang Ning held the popsicle with a delighted expression. Although she was a doctor, she still craved something cool in such hot weather.

Hearing Jiang Ning take a big bite, she made a 'crunch' sound as she took a large bite.

Xu Jin quickly said, "Ningning, don't get chilled!"

Jiang Ning had an ice pop in her mouth, making smacking noises.

Although it's summer and one shouldn't crave cold foods, Jiang Ning ate it with great relish.

It's fine to eat it occasionally.

Moreover, these authentic old-fashioned popsicles don't have the technology and grueling processes of modern times, so there's no need to worry too much about health issues.

As the two ate popsicles, they walked toward the department store. When they passed through a small alley, a head suddenly appeared at a corner about ten meters in.

"Help! Help..."

The sound coming from the alley wasn't very loud, but Jiang Ning and Xu Jin heard it.

The area was sparsely populated, with only a few vendors carrying boxes and selling their wares.

But the vendors were very timid; they would run away as soon as they heard any noise.

He turned his head and saw two beautiful women, and he was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly spoke up, "Ladies, you're both so pretty, you should leave as soon as possible. This area hasn't been very peaceful lately; there have been some noises coming from the alleys!"

After saying that, he hurriedly prepared to leave.

If it weren't for the fact that the two women were pretty, he wouldn't have bothered to remind them.

Jiang Ning was certain she hadn't misread or misheard anything just now. She stopped the vendor and asked, "Is there a police station around here?"

The vendor said, "Yes, there is, not far away, but calling the police won't do any good. Even if they are arrested, those people will be released quickly."

Jiang Ning's eyes flickered; she knew about some of the unrest that had occurred in various regions over the past year.

"Please go to the police station to report this."

“This…” The vendor hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head and said, “These people are wicked, I don’t believe they can cause trouble! If you want to call the police, go ahead and do it yourselves.”

Reporting a crime to the police station requires a statement to be taken. If he gets targeted by those bad guys, he'll be in big trouble.

After saying that, he quickly ran away.

Xu Jin frowned, her temper flaring up immediately. "What kind of person is this? They won't even help with something as simple as calling the police."

Jiang Ning then took a few steps into the dimly lit alley.

The alley was very dark, but the weather was nice now, so it wasn't completely dark.

Seeing Jiang Ning walk a few steps inside, Xu Jin immediately followed.

As they approached the alley, they immediately heard men's lewd laughter and women's screams of pleading for mercy.

The two men's faces immediately darkened.

Xu Jin was skilled in martial arts, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to rush inside.

But Jiang Ning stopped her.

Judging from the voices inside, there was more than one man, and they were unfamiliar with the place, and the alley was very dark.

No matter how skilled Xu Jin was, he couldn't fight off four opponents.

Xu Jin's face was extremely ugly. "Ningning, why are you pulling me like this? These scumbags, I'm going to teach them a lesson!"

Jiang Ning pondered for two seconds and immediately came up with a plan. She grabbed Xu Jin to stop her from rushing inside, saying, "Don't rush, I'll find a way to save people. Go to the police station and get the police."

"You want me to call the police, and you're going to rescue people?" Xu Jin's eyes widened.

She immediately refused, "No, I'll go save people, you go call the police. Ningning, with your current mediocre skills, you'll have a hard time dealing with a grown man."

Jiang Ning: "......"

"I won't do it."

As she spoke, Jiang Ning suddenly took out silver needles and pricked herself with them a few times.

Blood immediately flowed from her eyes and nose.

Jiang Ning suddenly started bleeding from her eyes and nose without warning, which startled Xu Jin when she turned around.

"scare--"

She stammered, "Ning... Ningning, you..."

Jiang Ning immediately explained, "I'm not sick. I did this on purpose to scare them."

She had used this trick before, and it worked quite well.

As she spoke, Xu Jin noticed blood trickling from the corner of Jiang Ning's mouth, making her look exactly like a wronged female ghost.

Xu Jin, also a doctor, knew that bleeding was inevitable, and Jiang Ning must have used some special methods. He said anxiously, "You...you've done too much damage to your body!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Jiang Ning said. "Sister-in-law, you go to the police station to report it, and I'll go check on the situation inside."

They were at the alley entrance, where it was still somewhat bright. When they suddenly saw Jiang Ning's appearance, even the usually bold Xu Jin was startled, let alone the group of people inside.

Xu Jin still believed in these things to some extent, after all, she was a little scared.

But saving lives is the priority now.

Xu Jin didn't think twice; she was still worried about leaving Jiang Ning alone there.

She said, "Ningning, give me a few injections too, let's go in together."

Jiang Ning knew that Xu Jin was worried about her getting into trouble on her own.

After thinking about it, she didn't insist that Xu Jin go to the police station.

She immediately took out silver needles and pricked several acupoints on Xu Jin's body.

Soon, Xu Jin, like her, also started bleeding from her eyes, nose, and mouth.

Then Jiang Ning quickly used acupuncture to stop the bleeding.

Xu Jin was even less concerned with formalities than Jiang Ning, and immediately smeared the blood all over her face with her hands.

Not only that, she also let her hair down and suddenly covered her entire face. When she raised her head, a pair of bleeding eyes were revealed.

Jiang Ning: "......."

She was even more immersed in the role than he was.

Once everything was ready, Jiang Ning and Xu Jin immediately headed deeper into the box.

The closer you get, the clearer the sounds become.

The girl's pleading voice was filled with despair; her voice gradually grew softer, while the sound of her clothes being torn grew louder.

There were also the excited, lewd laughs of men.

As they drew closer, Xu Jin and Jiang Ning recognized the voices as those of two girls and five men.

After confirming the number of people on the other side, Xu Jin took a deep breath. Fortunately, she hadn't left Jiang Ning alone.
