The temptation behind gentleness
Chapter 176: Situation Looks Bad
"Su Fan, what are you doing? You clearly made the mistake, caused someone's death, yet you still hit people?"
Sun Zhigang looked at Su Fan with a sinister rebuke in his eyes.
His words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
The emotions of the crowd were stirred up.
"No hitting, quack doctor."
"You caused someone's death, and you're still so arrogant, is there no law and order?"
The laborers accompanying the burly man also came towards Su Fan, each holding a weapon.
"This kid is too arrogant, we need to teach him a lesson."
Sun Zhigang and Liu Feng exchanged glances, their faces full of glee, simultaneously thinking, "Heh, Su Fan, your days have come."
"Su Fan, don't be impulsive, don't make things worse."
Liu Ye worriedly reminded Su Fan.
Su Fan frowned and remained silent.
This situation clearly wasn't simple, obviously targeting him, and it was most likely Sun Zhigang and Liu Feng's scheme.
Yet, the situation on the scene was complicated; if he resorted to violence, it would probably bring a lot of trouble.
These two bastards, this move was really mean.
But he could not just stand there and be beaten, could he?
"Stop!"
Just at that moment, a commanding shout came from outside the crowd.
Everyone simultaneously turned to look back.
That's when they saw seven or eight policemen approaching.
The leader was an impressive-looking female police officer.
It was the old acquaintance Li Jing.
Upon seeing the police, the people promptly made way.
The woman kneeling on the ground grabbed Li Jing's legs, all snot and tears.
"Officer, help me, my husband was killed by this quack, and he's hitting people, I have to support the elderly and my child, how can a widow survive?"
Li Jing, being a woman herself, immediately empathized when she heard how miserable the woman was.
"Don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you, I will not let any bad person off."
The next moment, she spotted Su Fan holding the burly man's wrist.
"You again?"
"Quite a coincidence."
Su Fan was somewhat speechless,
It was again this brainless female police officer, but since Li Jing was the station head for this area, it wasn't surprising.
"Let him go, you've already killed a patient, hitting someone else only compounds your crime."
Li Jing looked at Su Fan and said coldly,
Su Fan responded somewhat annoyed,
"Which eye of yours saw me kill someone? As for hitting someone, that's utterly baseless. It was this man who attacked me first; I was merely defending myself."
The burly man kneeling on the ground shouted,
"Officer, don't listen to his nonsense. I was just arguing with him, and he hit me outright; he's too arrogant, you must stand up for us poor migrant workers here."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing exploded,
Pulling out handcuffs, she walked towards Su Fan,
"I've tolerated you for a long time, today you must see the authority of the law."
"Right, arrest him, arrest him!"
"We must give an explanation to the deceased's family."
"Well done, officer."
The onlookers, unaware of the truth, were shouting excitedly.
Liu Ye had already started crying from anxiety.
"Little Su, although your medical skills are strong, accidents like this do happen, and since a person died, you must take responsibility."
"As a man, you should be responsible. Besides, as a qualified doctor, you ought to have at least the basic medical ethics."
Sun Zhigang and Liu Feng looked on with smug expressions.
Su Fan frowned slightly.
The situation at hand was really bad.
Good news stays within the walls, bad news spreads far and wide,
If he were to be taken away in public, it would definitely become big news. Even if the investigation later revealed the truth, that he was wronged, people wouldn't care. They would only remember a doctor named Su Fan who killed someone,
Once he was taken into the police car, his career would essentially be over,
He had just become a chief physician, one step closer to fulfilling his grandfather's last wish. He absolutely could not tarnish his professional career.
Wait a minute...
Su Fan suddenly thought of something,
At that moment, Li Jing had already taken out handcuffs to arrest Su Fan,
"My apologies."
Su Fan grabbed Li Jing's wrist and quickly performed a counter-grapple.
"Click"
With a crisp sound, Li Jing's hands were cuffed behind her back.
