“Wait for me!” Bai Jiang couldn’t spare much time and quickly said to the people around her.

Bai Jiang pushed through the crowd and went to the scene to check.

She saw a group of people surrounding the black dog, seemingly wanting to kill it.

The black dog seemed to be in an unstable emotional state. Without hesitation, Bai Jiang approached and directly touched the black dog’s head. She then took some Spirit Spring Water from her space and sprinkled it on the black dog.

The black dog’s emotions calmed down, and it looked up at Bai Jiang.

Bai Jiang took out golden needles, and the people around finally reacted to stop her.

“Miss, this black dog looks fierce. We don’t know if it has rabies.”

“Yes, if it bites someone, it won’t be good.”

“Miss, please step back.”

While taking out the golden needles, Bai Jiang said to the group of people, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Please step back.”

Bai Jiang pricked the dog a few times, and its emotions visibly calmed down.

It obediently lay on the ground, looking up at Bai Jiang.

“Stay here and wait for me,” Bai Jiang said.

Then, the black dog snorted and tilted its head.

Seeing that the black dog showed no signs of aggression, everyone felt relieved and didn’t say anything more.

Bai Jiang went back to the old man’s side, took a glance at his condition, and told his family, “Quickly take him to the hospital.”

As soon as the old man’s family heard Bai Jiang’s words, their expressions immediately changed.

“No, my dad doesn’t want to go to the hospital. He said that if we take him there, he’ll jump off the building as soon as he wakes up.”

Bai Jiang was speechless. Why was this old man so stubborn?

At this moment, something unexpected happened. The old man’s face turned even more pale, and his lips suddenly turned purple.

Bai Jiang was greatly shocked and quickly asked the old man’s family, “Does the old man have coronary heart disease? Do you have any emergency medicine? Hurry and feed it to him!”

“Yes, yes, we all know about my father’s condition, so we always carry the pills with us. They’re in his shirt pocket,” the old man’s son said.

Hearing this, Bai Jiang took out the pill from the old man’s shirt pocket. It was a fast-acting cardiac pill.

Taking it could indeed save a life.

Bai Jiang took out the pill and wanted to feed it to the old man, but when his condition flared up, he tightly pursed his lips, seemingly having no desire to eat.

“What should we do? My dad won’t eat it,” the old man’s son said anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.

Bai Jiang took a deep breath and asked about the old man’s condition. She found that the old man did not have an ordinary heart disease.

Instead, it was the complications of several heart diseases.

Bai Jiang clenched her teeth and took out the golden needles, saying to the old man’s son, “How about this? I’ll give your father a few acupuncture treatments, but once he regains consciousness, you must take him to the hospital.”

The old man’s son wanted to say something more, but Bai Jiang was not in the mood to listen. Saving a life was the top priority at the moment.

Bai Jiang took out another unused needle kit from her body.

The one she had used on the dog couldn’t be used on a human. Swiftly, she administered acupuncture to the old man’s major acupoints.

Soon enough, the old man’s complexion gradually regained a healthy flush, and his previously purplish lips began to ease.

Bai Jiang then checked the old man’s pulse and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Alright, after the emergency treatment, your father is no longer in critical condition. However, for his safety, it’s still best to take him to a larger hospital,” Bai Jiang advised the old man’s son.

The old man’s son hastily expressed his gratitude and lifted his father onto his back. Just as he was about to say something more to Bai Jiang, she vanished without a trace.

He and his wife carried the old man on their backs and were about to go to the hospital.

However, the old man woke up as soon as he got into the car. When he learned that his son was going to send him to the hospital, he was especially agitated.

“I’ve told you before that I don’t want to go to the hospital. Why won’t you listen? If you take me to the hospital, I’ll jump out of the car! I know my own body!” The old man huffed.

Actually, before his illness acted up, he had a thought in his heart that he was afraid that he was going to die.

However, he felt distressed at the notion of departing from this world without having the chance to see his beloved grandson.

The old man’s son let out a sigh. His father was just that stubborn.

“But the doctor who saved you just now said that your life is no longer in danger, at least for the time being. It’s still better to go to a larger hospital,” the old man’s son reasoned.

“Zhong Yi, I know very well whether I should go to the hospital or not.”

“Do you know what? If I go to the hospital with this body of mine, I’ll never see you again.” The old man sighed as he spoke.
