Chapter 281: Chapter 281: No Need to Call a Doctor, I Am One

"Ah—" Chen Anna let out a scream, covering her eyes with her hands.

She was a pampered young lady, how could she have witnessed such a violent and barbaric scene before?

Mrs. Lan Xiang was the wife of the Foreign Minister, and yet someone dared to attack her?

If anything serious happened to her, it wouldn’t just be a simple criminal case, but would likely become an international dispute, right?

Jiang Man glanced at the man holding the dagger; it was clear he wasn’t with the man who had smacked the fake rock.

The latter committed ’murder’ in a fit of passion, while the former clearly had premeditated the act.

The unfamiliar Central Asian face, dark skin, and a strong and sturdy build.

He moved with agile steps, his eyes sharp and precise like scanners.

Wielding the dagger, he made a move to slash the back of Mrs. Lan Xiang’s neck.

Screams echoed incessantly on the scene; some people stumbled as they ran away, providing some resistance to the assailant.

Though it was a moment’s delay, it was all too quick.

Jiang Man leapt from where she stood, aiming a kick at the assailant mid-jump.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Xingzhou snatched a gun from a nearby security guard.

Bang—

He precisely aimed at the man who was holding a fruit knife to Mrs. Lan Xiang.

The couple coordinated perfectly.

With one shot, Lu Xingzhou hit the man in the palm, piercing right through it, causing him such pain that he immediately dropped the fruit knife.

Seeing this, the security team moved forward in a swift motion and immediately subdued him.

Jiang Man, on the other hand, delivered a high-kicking blow, kicking the man in the face.

As the man’s face twisted from the kick, saliva mixed with blood, and he crashed heavily onto the ground.

He tried to turn around and stab Jiang Man with the dagger.

Jiang Man, reacting swiftly, landed steadily and stepped on his wrist.

A crunch was heard, and the man screamed in agony.

His whole arm was disabled on the spot, causing him to writhe in pain.

The security guards quickly got him under control as well.

The two men were lifted and brought before Mrs. Lan Xiang.

Mrs. Lan Xiang, still shaken, fainted when she was being supported, unable to catch her breath.

"Oh my God, Jiang Man is so cool! Are her martial skills actually that good?" Chen Anna watched the intense rescue through the gaps between her fingers.

Hu Ming was also too shocked to put his feelings into words.

All he knew was that the man was handsome, and the woman was cool.

Lu Xingzhou’s shot was both fast and precise, and Manman’s combat power was simply off the charts!

Such a petite body could actually kick down a man twice her size, sturdy as an ox?

"Quick! Call a doctor!" the butler stepped forward and instructed the waitstaff.

Mrs. Lan Xiang had fainted, and for a moment, the entire event lost its pillar.

The security team was escorting the two culprits, unsure of where to go.

"Find a soundproof room, take him there; I will interrogate him personally. As for this one, call the police; leave him to them."

Lu Xingzhou quickly took control of the scene, handling it with ease.

"First, lock down the scene; no one is allowed to leave."

After giving the orders, he immediately called Zhao Huai, asking him to bring a team for support.

Because his aura was too strong and everyone present had received quite a fright,

people followed his commands without anyone daring to say ’no.’

In an instant, Lu Xingzhou turned the tables and took over Mrs. Lan Xiang’s role, becoming the most authoritative person present.

Hu Ming was impressed by such decisiveness.

He wondered, if Lu Xingzhou hadn’t been there, how would he have handled it?

Probably at the very part where the assailant struck, he would have crumbled.

With courage and skill, truly able to control the scene! The person in charge of Lu Corporation certainly lives up to his reputation!

"Third brother, I’ll leave this to you."

As Lu Xingzhou was about to leave, he instructed Hu Ming.

Jiang Man quickly approached Mrs. Lan Xiang, took her pulse, and said coldly, "No need for a doctor, madam is fine. She’s just been startled. Take her back to her room and bring some ginger slices."

"This..." the butler hesitated.

"I am a doctor, now go!" Jiang Man glared at him.

The butler immediately turned and obeyed as if possessed, "We have ginger in the kitchen, I’ll go fetch it right away!"

...

A few minutes later, Jiang Man followed the attendant and escorted Mrs. Lan Xiang back to her room.

The room’s decor was luxurious, clearly reflecting the lady’s taste, which was very much to her liking.

The European-style antique curtains were rolled up by the attendants, and she gently pushed the window open.

When the butler came in with a plate, Jiang Man saw that he had cut almost half a plate of ginger slices.

"We don’t need that much, just put a slice in madam’s mouth to let her suck on it. Also, bring some hot water. Have her drink some when she wakes up."

After speaking, Jiang Man sat down by the bed.

She did not have her acupuncture kit with her, otherwise, a needle would have awakened madam right away.

Without a needle, she used her hands to gently press on the Baihui acupoint on Mrs. Lan Xiang’s head.

The attendants standing by watched in a daze, not really believing in Jiang Man.

After all, she was young and seemed inexperienced.

However, to everyone’s surprise, a few minutes after she rubbed, Mrs. Lan Xiang actually began to wake up!

"Madam, how do you feel?" the butler immediately came over to ask anxiously.

Mrs. Lan Xiang struggled to open her eyes, frowned, and her gaze fell on Jiang Man. She spit out the ginger slice from her mouth.

The butler instinctively reached out to catch it.

She took the tissue handed to her by an attendant and wiped her mouth clean.

In a short amount of time, she had composed herself, returning to her usual elegance and calm.

"I’m fine."

Mrs. Lan Xiang’s eyes burned into the girl in front of her, growing fonder as she looked, "Did you save me?"

Right before she fainted in fear, she saw Lu Xingzhou shoot at the assailant and also saw Jiang Man rushing towards her from behind.

Jiang Man nodded, not saying much.

Mrs. Lan Xiang curved the corners of her mouth, "You are my savior; I must repay you."

"Repayment isn’t necessary," Jiang Man said indifferently, her face unruffled, "A doctor does not ignore the dying. My professional ethics compel me to act."

After a pause, she said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

"Wait a moment..." Mrs. Lan Xiang was surprised.

How many people sought to curry favor with her, yet Jiang Man was indifferent?

"Butler, go get the small daisy necklace from my drawer."

"Madam?"

"Just go get it!"

Before long, the butler went to the vanity, entered the code, opened the drawer, and took out a silver jewelry box.

Walking over to Jiang Man, he handed it to her.

"I don’t like owing people. You saved me, so why don’t you take this necklace? It’s not worth much."

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

Mrs. Lan Xiang watched her earnestly, "Please, take it."

"Alright," Jiang Man glanced at the pendant on the necklace, two small daisies, one large and one small, made of yellow jade. They looked quite refreshing and bright.

"Then we’re even," she said, taking the necklace and slipping it into her pocket before striding away.

Only after her figure had disappeared did the butler stammer out, feeling he had to speak, "Madam, that was your first piece entering the design world, and you’ve treasured it for over twenty years. Why would you just give it away? When the young mistress liked that necklace, you obviously didn’t want to part with it..."
