"Dude, I'm just trying to give you some friendly advice. If you're not going to listen, then forget it!"

Unwilling to waste any more time, Luo Xiu ignored the young man and ran toward the burning car.

Watching Luo Xiu's retreating figure, the young man cursed, "What a complete idiot! I'd like to see what you think you can possibly do to save anyone!"

But just as he finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through his leg. Lin Xiyue had caught up and kicked him.

"Who the hell are you?!" he yelled. "What did I ever do to you?!"

Lin Xiyue looked at him with disdain. "It's bad enough you just stand there gawking instead of helping, but you have the nerve to criticize someone who's actually trying to save a life," she said coldly. "You're just another keyboard warrior, the kind of trash who spouts nonsense online all day."

"Damn, you're a crazy bitch! You know what? You're a woman, so I won't even bother arguing with you!"

Not wanting to get into trouble, the young man cursed under his breath as he backed away.

Meanwhile, Luo Xiu had already forced the car door open and dragged out a middle-aged woman trapped inside. The woman's head was covered in blood, but she was still conscious and able to move.

She clung tightly to Luo Xiu's hand, on the verge of tears. "What are you standing there for? Go save my daughter!"

Lin Xiyue rushed over and helped the middle-aged woman back, yelling, "Luo Xiu, there's someone else in the back!"

Luo Xiu saw the other person and quickly opened the rear door. He reached his hand directly into the flames and pulled out a young girl who was already being consumed by the fire. He carried the girl to the side of the road, found a faucet used for watering the flowerbeds, and turned it on to extinguish the flames on her body.

The burnt clothing was fused to the girl's skin. Tearing it off at this moment was out of the question, as it would rip away the burned skin underneath and cause even more severe injuries. The burns were serious, but thankfully, the girl was still breathing. The critical issue was that she had several fractures, all her ribs were broken, and her head had also suffered a severe impact. Apparently, she hadn't been wearing a seatbelt in the back seat.

Luo Xiu's hands moved quickly over the girl's body, attempting to set her broken bones.

The middle-aged woman, supported by Lin Xiyue, considered Luo Xiu's rough technique highly unprofessional. She hurriedly broke free, ran over, and shoved him away.

"Kid, what do you think you're doing!"

Interrupted, Luo Xiu grew impatient. "Can't you see I'm saving her life?"

"Saving her, my ass! Is this how you save someone?! I'm a doctor too! Get out of the way, I've already called for an ambulance!"

Luo Xiu tried to remain patient. "Her condition is extremely critical. We have to—"

"Don't give me that crap! I'm a doctor, I know better than you!" she shrieked. "You're not saving her; you're causing secondary damage! Get lost! If anything happens to my daughter, I'll make you pay!"

Lin Xiyue couldn't stand it any longer. "Ma'am, we saved your life. Is this how you thank us?"

The middle-aged woman scoffed. "There were plenty of people here. Even if you hadn't come, someone else would have! Who are you trying to impress? With the internet so prevalent these days, you're just trying to get attention, aren't you?"

Lin Xiyue clenched her fists in anger. Taking a deep breath, she said patiently, "I'm not going to argue with you. But you should know, this man is a very good doctor. He's trying to save your daughter, not hurt her."

"A doctor?" The middle-aged woman recalled Luo Xiu's rough handling and sneered. "You call him a doctor? What school did he graduate from? Does he have a medical license? Show it to me! Let me see it before I let you touch her again!"

"I don't have one," Luo Xiu replied, his face devoid of expression.

"No license, and you're still putting on this act? Fine, I don't want to waste any more words on you. All of you, get lost! I'll wait for the ambulance to save my daughter!"

Luo Xiu shrugged and looked at Lin Xiyue. "Let's go."

She nodded, and they turned to leave without another word.

"It really takes all kinds, doesn't it?" Lin Xiyue muttered.

Luo Xiu smiled. "Forget about it. We did what we could, so our conscience is clear. After what she said, trying any harder would have just been humiliating ourselves."

It took a long time for the ambulance to arrive, held up by traffic. The delay was made worse by inconsiderate drivers who refused to yield, some even deliberately blocking its path as if the ambulance were cutting them off.

「Central Hospital of the Provincial Capital.」

Zhang Yong, drenched in sweat, ran frantically to the emergency room entrance where he found the middle-aged woman.

"Gu Fang, how is Xiao Yi? Hurry up and tell me, how is our daughter?!"

The middle-aged woman was Gu Fang, a director at this hospital and the wife of the Provincial Capital's Mayor, Zhang Yong. The patient in the emergency room was their only daughter, Zhang Yi.

"Husband… I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. This happened to our daughter because of me!"

Zhang Yong's eyes welled with tears as he pulled Gu Fang into a tight embrace. He was still wearing muddy rubber boots. As the mayor, he had been inspecting nearby farmland when he got the news and had to borrow a motorcycle from a villager to rush to the hospital.

After an agonizing wait, the door to the emergency room opened. A doctor in a white coat, smelling faintly of something burnt, walked out. When Gu Fang caught the scent, she nearly fainted. She knew it was the smell of her daughter's charred skin.

The doctor removed his mask, his face calm but his voice filled with pain. "Director Gu, Mayor Zhang… I'm sorry. We did everything we could. Miss Yi was brought in too late, and we missed the optimal window for treatment."

"She has extensive burns all over her body, a severe impact to the head, a fractured skull, and her ribs…"

"Don't… Don't say any more," Zhang Yong whispered, his face streaked with tears, his entire body trembling.

But Gu Fang hadn't given up. She suddenly remembered someone. "Right, husband, don't you know Doctor He? Hurry, call him and ask him to come! He must have a way to save our daughter!"

Without hesitating, Zhang Yong dialed He Dang Gui's number. A moment later, he lowered his phone. "Doctor He is on his way."

"That's wonderful! As long as Doctor He is here, Xiao Yi will be safe!"

Before long, He Dang Gui arrived at the hospital in a great hurry. However, after an examination, he could only shake his head and sigh, indicating there was nothing he could do.

Gu Fang broke down completely. "How is this possible… Aren't you the Divine Doctor? Why can't even you save my daughter?!"

Doctor He sighed helplessly. "But I am not a true god. Besides, your daughter sustained fatal injuries; this isn't an illness. Mayor Zhang, I am truly sorry."

Zhang Yong swayed and collapsed onto a bench in the corridor, burying his head in his hands and weeping bitterly. "Xiao Yi is only twenty-one! She just started her career as a celebrity. She had such a bright future…"

"It was him! It was all his fault! That bastard did this!" Gu Fang suddenly shrieked, her teeth clenched.

Zhang Yong looked up. "Who?"

"Back at the car accident," Gu Fang said, "we met a man. He pulled us out of the car, and then he started treating Xiao Yi with his unprofessional methods! He was so rough! He must have caused secondary damage that cost Xiao Yi her chance at survival! I'm going to find that bastard and make him pay! I'll get revenge for Xiao Yi!"

He Dang Gui watched Gu Fang's tirade in silence. She was clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Suddenly, He Dang Gui remembered Luo Xiu. "Mayor Zhang," he said urgently, "there's good news."

"What good news? Doctor He, tell me quickly!"

"Doctor Luo has come to the provincial capital," He Dang Gui said. "In fact, he had lunch with me this afternoon."

"Doctor Luo…" Hearing the name, Zhang Yong's eyes widened as hope rekindled in his heart. "You mean the young Divine Doctor who practices alchemy? The one I met at the auction in Sea City?"

"If he's willing to help, he can definitely save Miss Yi," He Dang Gui said, taking out his phone. "Mayor Zhang, don't worry. I'll call Doctor Luo right now and ask him to come take a look."

"Yes, yes, please! Doctor He, you must convince Doctor Luo to come! If my daughter can be saved, I, Zhang Yong, will do anything for you for the rest of my life!"
