Chapter 109: Violent Rescue

The sudden situation made Ye Fan stop in his tracks. Turning around, he saw that the old man from before had collapsed on the ground, his chest heaving violently. It was clear that he was barely breathing and on the verge of death.

The young woman crouched beside the old man, crying and panicking. Her cries attracted a crowd of onlookers, who had also been waiting at the red light.

"What happened?"

"Quick, get him to the hospital! It must be some kind of sudden illness!"

Several kind-hearted men immediately tried to move the old man, but before their hands could touch him, a voice stopped them. The voice belonged to Ye Fan.

"If you don't want him to die faster, don't move him."

Ye Fan walked through the crowd and squatted down beside the old man, his hands feeling around the man's chest.

"What are you doing?"

The tearful young woman was about to stop him when Ye Fan's next words stunned her.

"I'm a doctor."

These four words instantly caused a stir among the onlookers.

"Nonsense! How old is he?"

"Look, he's still carrying a schoolbag. Could he be a student from Zhenhua High School?"

"Girl, don't listen to this boy's nonsense. He probably hasn't even gone to university yet. How could he be a doctor? This is a matter of life and death, hurry up and send him to the hospital."

…

The young woman was also caught in a dilemma, hesitating. But seeing her grandfather's condition worsening, she stopped Ye Fan's hands from examining his chest. "Whether you're a doctor or not, I'm taking my grandfather to the hospital now…"

"You can't move him."

Ye Fan's expression remained calm as his eyes, gleaming with sharp focus, stayed on the old man's chest.

The crowd around them erupted upon hearing this.

"Who will be responsible if something happens to him?"

"He's sick, and you're saying we can't take him to the hospital? What kind of nonsense is that?!"

"Young man, mind your own business and don't cause trouble here!"

…

Hearing these remarks, the young woman grew frantic. Her face turned cold as she said, "Please move aside! If anything happens to my grandfather, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

Ye Fan looked up at the crowd, his gaze finally settling on the girl's face. "Does your grandfather smoke a lot?"

The girl was taken aback. She hesitated for two seconds, then nodded slowly. "Yes, he does."

Taking this opportunity, Ye Fan checked the old man's eyes, confirming his diagnosis.

He looked at the young woman and said, "Your grandfather has a tension pneumothorax. Because he smokes so much, it caused bullae in his lungs. Now, one of the bullae has ruptured, causing some blood vessels in his lungs to burst. This has led to blood accumulating in his lungs. The situation is very serious. His breathing is rapidly failing, and he could suffocate and die at any moment."

"Moreover, there's already a lot of blood in his lungs. He can't be moved, or it will accelerate his death. We need to drain the blood immediately."

"What?!"

Hearing the word "death", the young woman's face turned pale, and she panicked. "What do we do now? How do we drain the blood? We're not at a hospital!"

Hearing Ye Fan's reasonable explanation, the onlookers started to have doubts.

"I have a way."

Ye Fan took out his phone and checked the time. It was already past eight o'clock. A hint of frustration appeared on his face, but it vanished when his eyes fell on the old man on the ground.

A doctor's heart was filled with compassion.

Although he didn't have a medical license, he couldn't just stand by and watch in a life-or-death situation like this, especially since he had the ability to save the old man.

Feeling the old man's weakening breath, Ye Fan knew he couldn't delay any longer. He tossed his phone to the girl and said, "Call 120 now. I'll perform emergency treatment on your grandfather."

As he spoke, all sorts of medical knowledge surged in his mind. With Level 3 Medical Skills, his medical expertise was no less than that of chief physicians at major hospitals, and more importantly, he was proficient in all fields.

Within seconds, Ye Fan had formulated an emergency treatment plan. He quickly took off his backpack, took out a ballpoint pen, looked at the onlookers, and shouted, "Someone come and hold down his arms and legs, quick!"

The onlookers looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward. It was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to act rashly. If anything went wrong, they wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

Ye Fan's eyes flickered, understanding their hesitation. He didn't say anything more. He had no right to force anyone to do anything. He placed his left hand on the ground, straddled the old man, and said to the girl who was making the phone call, "Turn around and don't look back until I tell you to."

"Don't do anything reckless!"

The young woman's face was full of distrust towards Ye Fan. It was understandable, after all, Ye Fan looked too young to be a doctor, and the schoolbag on his back was especially conspicuous.

Ye Fan's expression remained calm. He asked back, "At this rate, your grandfather will suffocate and die within five minutes. Are you sure you don't want me to save him?"

"C-can I trust you?" The girl's eyes were filled with worry.

"Yes!"

The young woman stared at Ye Fan intently. For some reason, she didn't stop him this time. She took a deep breath and turned around with difficulty.

Seeing this, Ye Fan pulled open the old man's shirt. The old man's chest was already bulging. Holding his breath, he raised his right hand holding the ballpoint pen high and thrust it down, piercing the pen into the old man's upper left chest.

Instantly, gasps and screams erupted from the crowd.

The onlookers were so shocked by Ye Fan's actions that they quickly covered their eyes, their hearts in turmoil.

Was he really trying to save him, or was he trying to kill him?

Oh my God!

These sounds didn't faze Ye Fan at all. Right now, all he could think about was saving the old man and rushing to school for the exam.

After checking the depth of the insertion, he removed the pen cap, pinched the ink cartridge with two fingers, and pulled it out forcefully. Blood spurted out, staining his white shirt red.

This scene was shocking!

Two men with stronger stomachs couldn't help but swallow, their expressions frozen.

Would he... kill the old man?

They had never seen such a way of saving someone, it was too brutal!

As the blood spurted out, the old man's breathing quickly became smoother.

Ye Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first time practicing medicine, and he was still a little nervous, but fortunately, everything went smoothly.

"Done."

Ye Fan stood up and took off his jacket. The strong smell of blood made him frown. He walked over to the stunned young woman, took his phone back, and instructed, "Don't touch the pen in your grandfather's chest. When the paramedics arrive, they'll know what to do."

After saying that, he turned to leave. But as he took a step, the woman called out to him. "My grandfather has lost so much blood, you can't leave!"

No one knew what her grandfather's current condition was, she couldn't just let this boy leave.

Ye Fan turned around, his face full of helplessness. "I have something to do, I really can't stay. Your grandfather is out of danger for now, we just need to wait for the ambulance."

"But you can't leave!"

The young woman's pretty face was filled with determination.

Just then, the old man on the ground slowly opened his eyes and said haltingly, "Ziyi... business card... let him... go... thank you... get his phone number..."
