Su Ruyi's needle pricked the man's fingertip:

"I have already shown mercy."

But you mosquito-like things are so annoying!

Tell me a reason why you did this.

How much money did they give you? Or did they promise you any benefits?

The man could only wail softly, "Ahhh!!! Don't, don't stab me! I, I already told you, I drank pesticide! I'm dying!"

Su Ruyi jumped up and went out, returning with a slop bucket in her hand.

She pulled the two long needles from the man's hands, and the man let out two more cries of pain:

"Ah!!!...Holy crap!!!"

Su Ruyi punched the man hard in the stomach, then held the swill bucket to his mouth.

The man vomited as if by reflex.

Su Ruyi practically shoved his head into the garbage can: "Where's the pesticide you drank? Did it digest on the way here?" The man was so disgusted by the smell that he vomited again and vomited until his stomach was completely empty.

The only smell emanating from the swill bucket was a corrosive odor, from stomach acid and partially digested food. You could even tell he had eaten tofu and vermicelli buns that morning, and had wolfed them down.

There was absolutely no pesticide smell.

A nurse came over and took away the garbage can.

Su Ruyi pressed the man into a chair: "You choose, should I call the police, or will you expose your master?"

At this moment, the man suddenly wiped his mouth and revealed a strange smile: "Dr. Su, Dr. Su! You don't need to call the police—I've already done it for you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sirens of police cars wailed outside.

"What's going on? What's going on? Don't you want to enjoy the holiday anymore? Want to go to jail?" Several police officers' voices rang out.

The elderly women whose license plates had been stolen and whose plates had been used by others quickly pulled the police aside:

"Officers, you have to help me! These scoundrels stole our license plates and are trying to kick us old ladies out!"

"Yes, catch them quickly."

In that brief moment, the five troublemakers had already scattered and fled.

After the police found out what had happened, they put the elderly women back in their proper places and went into the clinic.

Seeing Su Ruyi pin a man to a chair, the first police officer to enter was somewhat surprised: "What's going on? What's this...?"

Su Ruyi said, "Officer, this person is here to cause trouble, and may be in cahoots with those people outside. Please take him back for questioning!"

The police officer frowned and said, "Wait a minute—who is Su Ruyi?"

The way the question was asked was strange, and Su Ruyi had a bad feeling.

However, she still pointed to herself: "That's me."

The police officer sized her up: "We've received reports from the public that you're hoarding and reselling license plates. You'll have to come with us."

Su Ruyi asked in surprise, "What? What are you reselling?"

Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly let out a wail and knelt on the ground: "Officer, I was wrong, I was wrong! It's all because of this Dr. Su, who insisted that I help her with this license plate scalping business. I didn't want to do it... but she... she tried to bribe me with money and corrupt me! Officer, I want to turn myself in, I want to turn myself in!"

This sudden turn of events left Su Ruyi frozen in place.

After saying this, the middle-aged man began to pull out a large number of license plates from his pocket.

Su Ruyi then realized that the "number plate" the two people were referring to was the specialist appointment she was seeing.

Su Ruyi made her own name tags, using cheap elm wood—she had an old carpenter carve it into thin squares and write numbers on them with red paint.

If you really want to counterfeit this, it's not difficult at all.

The number plate that fell out of the man's arms is exactly the same as the one that Su Ruyi distributed!

Su Ruyi's head buzzed—whoever wanted to mess with him, their methods were ruthless!

She frowned and said, "This is a free clinic! It's not free!"

The middle-aged man, looking aggrieved, continued to speak to the police officer: "Officer, isn't it a merit to expose someone? I want to expose—this Su Ruyi is a heartless and rotten bastard! She uses the guise of free medical consultations to secretly make me sell her appointment cards, which can sell for up to twenty yuan each!"

"How many?!"

The police officer clicked his tongue in surprise, then looked at Su Ruyi: "Do you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, Song Wenyu, Chu Liang'an, and Jin Xingqiu, who had come looking for the sound, were all dumbfounded.

Su Ruyi glanced at him: "Go tell Ya Sheng that I was framed."

After saying that, he calmly extended his wrist.

The policeman scoffed, "You're quite sensible!"

"Smack!"

A pair of cold handcuffs were once again cuffed to Su Ruyi's wrists.

"Smack!"

Another pair of cold handcuffs bound the middle-aged man.

This was the first time Su Ruyi had taken a close look at the man. She noticed that his features were strangely familiar, yet he didn't match anyone in her memory.

The crowd waiting in line for medical treatment watched helplessly as Su Ruyi was handcuffed and taken away.

However, that's not all.

Ten minutes later, a man who called himself "Director Cao" entered the consultation room with several of his men.

He turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "I am Cao, the director of the Discipline Inspection Office of the Health Bureau! We have received reports from the public that the Huichuntang Branch of Beijing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has serious problems and needs to be sealed off according to law!"

As he spoke, his men began searching through the documents, collecting the medical qualification certificates and medical practice certificates of Su Ruyi and the other three individuals—the "two certificates."

He then questioned Jin Xingqiu, Chu Liang'an, and Song Wenyu, confiscated their "two certificates," and kicked them out.

The seal, with its black and white lettering, was smeared with glue and pasted on the door of the clinic.

The crowd that had gathered there hadn't left yet, and they were all whispering among themselves:

"What happened?"

"What exactly did this Doctor Su do wrong?"

"This is very strange! Doctor Su must have offended someone!"

"Yes, think about it. This Dr. Su is on New Year's Day holiday, not resting at home, but giving us extra appointments and free consultations. She's doing a good deed! Who did she offend?"

"You all didn't see it clearly. I was number 11 in line, and I saw it all clearly—the man inside set a trap for Dr. Su, and Dr. Su didn't realize what was happening before she went in!"

As he spoke, he began to tell the story vividly.

Song Wenyu walked to the back of the group and listened to Number 11 finish speaking before urging everyone to leave: "Please go back, everyone. Huichuntang is temporarily closed. We will post a notice when it will reopen."
