The chubby man's eyes lit up immediately when he heard that the trial was free.
"Is it really true that if it doesn't work, you don't have to pay?"
Su Ying nodded firmly, "That's right. No charge if it doesn't work."
The chubby man was moved by these words and sat down in a chair with the woman's help.
"Then I'll give you a chance. My wound has been hurting for several days, and the hospital doesn't have any painkillers. The medicine won't arrive for several more days. I can't stand the pain anymore. I can't eat or sleep."
"If this can actually relieve my pain for even a moment, I'll be thanking my God."
Su Ying handed the painkillers in her hand to the woman opposite her, saying, "Could you please help me apply this medicine?"
The woman was a little uneasy and dared not do it again. She had just applied the medicine to him, and it hurt terribly; she was sweating profusely.
"Brother, why don't we go back? Nothing in this black market is licensed; who knows what's in there? Have you forgotten the medicine that guy gave you?"
The chubby man looked conflicted. The pain from earlier was still vivid in his mind. Not only did it not relieve the pain at all, but it actually made it worse. It was still very painful, so much so that he was trembling.
I dare not gamble anymore.
Although I don't know much about medicine, all medicines have some degree of toxicity, let alone medicines applied to wounds.
"No need. My wound is already painful enough; I don't want to risk my leg any more."
Su Ying pointed to the wound, "Your wound is so big, without painkillers, you haven't been able to get a good night's sleep for the past few days."
"Anyway, the medicine is already in your sister's hands. If you don't want to use it, you can give it back to me. We're in a hurry... I'll have to leave now."
The woman stood there nervously, holding the medicine in her hand, unsure of what to do.
This woman didn't seem like a bad person at all; she seemed much more reliable than the old man with white hair from before. Besides, she spoke with such conviction that she started to have some doubts.
I'm not sure if I should give it to my brother. The hospital is having a severe shortage of painkillers lately, and there haven't been any for the past few days. My brother hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days, and he looks like he's lost weight.
She felt very sorry for him.
Anyway, my brother has already suffered once, so it shouldn't be a big deal if he suffers again.
She turned around with a troubled expression to look at the fat man. "Brother, do you want to use this medicine or not? I'll do whatever you say."
"There's a recent shortage of painkillers, and they've all been allocated to military use. It'll be several days before we can buy them. But even though it's said to be several days, there's no accurate estimate of how many days it will take."
"Brother may have to suffer for a long time, whether or not this medicine is used depends entirely on you."
The chubby man took a deep breath and quickly made a decision, "I'm willing to use it. This woman said that if it doesn't work, I don't have to pay. Since she's so confident that her medicine is so effective, why not give it a try?"
Now that the older brother had made his decision, the woman applied the medicine to the man's thigh.
The blood-stained gauze revealed how severe the leg injury was. The woman lifted the wound again, and the people around her gasped.
Su Ying looked at the wound and was speechless. No wonder she couldn't bear it and took a different approach; her leg injury was so serious.
This post-treatment care will take quite some time.
She has the medicine here, so she's not worried. She's just afraid they can't afford it.
"This injury looks pretty serious?"
Gu Sinian's gaze lingered on the man's wound, feeling that something was off about it, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. After all, he wasn't a professional doctor and couldn't tell.
"Yes. Can you tell what kind of sharp weapon caused the wound to fester so badly?"
Su Ying pinched her chin and examined the wound, unsure of what to do. "In my opinion, this wound is a bit strange."
"What's so strange about it?"
"It looks like a gunshot wound."
"No way? This chubby patient doesn't look like a public official. He looks like he's a lazy bum. How could he have been shot?"
Su Ying whispered with her hand, "I wasn't sure before, but now I have a feeling that the reason that man was so badly injured was partly due to human intervention."
The man frowned; his young wife's words were becoming increasingly enigmatic, and he couldn't understand them at all.
"Explain in more detail."
Su Ying understood what the man meant: "The bullet was removed, possibly by force without any medication."
"What."
"Keep your voice down. You're afraid others won't hear you."
"Continue with your judgment."
"The hospital not having painkillers is a made-up excuse. Painkillers are essential for nail salons and medical institutions. Besides, there's no place that needs large quantities of medicine recently, and your military doesn't have any major missions. Why would you need to transfer painkillers? It's pure nonsense."
Gu Sinian pondered, "That's true. I haven't heard of any important figures recently, so how could the hospital not have painkillers?"
"So they were putting on an act just now, making people with painkillers deliver themselves to their door."
Hearing the man's analysis, Su Ying felt like dying. Why did she suddenly have such a greedy thought? Now she had gained nothing, and who knew what kind of bloody storm awaited them.
"Is it too late for me to take the painkillers back and not let them use them?"
Gu Sinian raised an eyebrow and gave Su Ying a helpless look. "What do you think?"
They've already applied all her painkillers to the affected area, how could they possibly give them back to her?
In addition, Grandma's medicine is so effective, it takes effect in five minutes at most. Two minutes have already passed, and there are only three minutes left. Is it still possible for them to escape?
"Since we can't get the medicine back, we'll just give up on it. We don't have much time left. Is it too late for us to escape now?"
What do you think?
Su Ying looked utterly dejected.
"You're doomed. Your promotion quota has just been cancelled. If you get caught on the black market, your career will be over immediately."
Gu Sinian was also very worried. With so many people surrounding them, how could they break through the encirclement and escape?
The fact that they can put on such a brazen show in the black market, with so many thugs nearby, suggests that this brother and sister are no ordinary people.
He was shot but couldn't go to the hospital for treatment, fearing that others would find out his identity.
This indicates that their identity is something that cannot be revealed.
This is in Dongshi, not his territory, so even if he wanted to investigate further, he couldn't get involved.
If he were caught showing up on the black market today, he wouldn't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tried.
To infiltrate a case under a false identity?
Where did this case come from?
Who gave me permission to investigate a case on the black market?
Just thinking about these things gave Gu Sinian a huge headache.
His biggest concern right now is how to safely get his wife away from this dangerous place.
