Deep in the alleyway, a panicked young woman was running desperately after a punk with dyed green hair.
The green-haired youth had a shoulder bag tucked under his arm, and as he ran, he kept turning back to mock her.
"Give it back to me, I'm begging you, give it back!"
The young woman was running out of breath, on the verge of tears.
In that shoulder bag was her husband's life-saving money, borrowed from various relatives.
If she lost it, the consequences would be simply unthinkable.
Without breaking his stride, the green-haired youth turned his head back with a look of utter contempt.
"I snatched it fair and square, why should I give it back to you?"
Glancing at the young woman's remarkably full and curvaceous figure, the green-haired youth suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and a lewd grin spread across his face.
"Big sister, seeing as your figure isn't half bad, how about you come with me to open a hotel room and play some poker, and I'll give the bag back to you?"
With that, the green-haired youth let out a hooligan's whistle.
At that moment, his attention was entirely fixed on the woman behind him, and he completely failed to notice that two people had suddenly appeared in the previously empty path ahead.
Hearing the green-haired youth's words, the young woman had been plunged into utter despair.
For the sake of her husband's life, no matter how unwilling she was, she would have had no choice but to compromise and submit.
Yet, when she saw two figures suddenly appear at the mouth of the empty alley, the young woman's heart leaped with joy.
"You two, please, help me stop him!" the young woman cried out loudly.
"What, someone's there?" The green-haired youth finally realized the gravity of the situation.
He hurriedly turned back around, but it was already too late.
Ye Wushuang and Tang Moxixi had already blocked his path from both left and right.
Seeing this, the green-haired youth gritted his teeth and lunged straight at Tang Moxixi, attempting to break through on her side.
"Scum!" Just as Ye Wushuang was about to make a move, a cold flash suddenly crossed Tang Moxixi's eyes, and she delivered a fierce side-kick straight ahead.
The green-haired youth never expected a sweet-looking girl to dare to provoke a hoodlum like him.
He failed to dodge in time and took the kick square in the chest.
With a cry of pain, the green-haired youth crashed to the ground, taking a thoroughly ungraceful tumble.
"Damn it, you bi—" Fury burned in the green-haired youth's chest.
He had just opened his mouth when he abruptly realized his body was suspended in mid-air.
Focusing his eyes, he saw that the man on the left had already reached him, lifting him effortlessly off the ground with a single hand.
"Big sister, here is your bag." Tang Moxixi picked the shoulder bag up from the ground and handed it back to the young woman.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" The young woman finally caught up.
Her eyes were wet with tears, and her gratitude was beyond words.
"What should we do with this person?" Ye Wushuang asked.
He had already gained a preliminary understanding of the rules of modern society—he couldn't just kill people casually.
"I'll make a call and have the police come take him away," Tang Moxixi said after a moment of thought.
Catching a juvenile delinquent like this could only be left to the police to handle.
Hearing that Ye Wushuang and his companion intended to hand him over to the Police Station, the green-haired youth instantly panicked.
He had already been wanted for home invasion last time; if he got sent to the Police Station now, getting slapped with a ten-year sentence would probably be getting off lightly.
The green-haired youth begged bitterly, but Ye Wushuang and the others remained entirely unmoved.
"I actually preferred how rebellious and arrogant you were a moment ago," Tang Moxixi sneered.
Under the green-haired youth's despairing gaze, she dialed the number for the Police Station.
Soon enough, the police arrived. After taking statements from the young woman and Tang Moxixi, they took the green-haired youth away.
"Thank you both, my name is Lin Yourong."
The young woman expressed her gratitude once more and shared her name with Ye Wushuang and Tang Moxixi.
"Lin Yourong, what a lovely name, big sister," Tang Moxixi said with a smile.
Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang stroked his chin as a famous quote he had studied suddenly popped into his mind: *"The sea embraces a hundred rivers; tolerance makes one great."*
Glancing down at the magnificent peaks on Lin Yourong's chest, Ye Wushuang nodded inwardly.
They certainly were quite large; the ancients truly never deceived him.
"I'm in a rush to get to the hospital, so I won't treat you two to a meal today. Once my husband is discharged from the hospital, I will definitely treat you both properly."
Lin Yourong exchanged phone numbers with Tang Moxixi and turned to leave.
Just then, however, Ye Wushuang spoke up to stop her. "Big sister, stay a moment."
Lin Yourong turned around, looking at Ye Wushuang with curiosity. "Is there something else?"
"Big sister, well... there is something, and I'm not sure if I should say it or not." Ye Wushuang suddenly looked a bit hesitant.
"What is it?" Seeing Ye Wushuang's expression, not only Lin Yourong was taken aback, but even Tang Moxixi couldn't help finding it strange.
Why was this guy suddenly acting so shy?
"Big sister, have you recently often felt that pair of milky-white snow globes of yours feeling a bit swollen and distended?"
Gritting his teeth, Ye Wushuang asked the question he had wanted to ask.
A healer has a benevolent heart; this was the first lesson his master had taught him when passing down his medical skills.
Since he had already spotted Lin Yourong's ailment, he had an obligation to inform her.
Hearing Ye Wushuang's question, Lin Yourong's face flushed a brilliant red.
However, she wasn't some naive, sheltered maiden after all, and her inner calm quickly returned.
"That is indeed the case, young man. How did you know?"
Recalling her bodily reactions over the past few days, Lin Yourong nodded slowly, staring at Ye Wushuang with curiosity.
"That settles it then. Big sister, you likely have breast cancer—there's a tumor growing inside."
"It's just in the early stages, so you don't have any severe symptoms yet, other than occasionally feeling some swelling and distension in your chest."
Ye Wushuang stated his diagnosis.
"No way, my company only did a physical examination last month."
She fished a medical report out of her shoulder bag, opened it, and handed it to Ye Wushuang.
"Look, all my indicators are completely normal," Lin Yourong said, her voice trembling.
"That's just the result detected by Western medical instruments. Most early-stage cancers cannot be detected by them."
The corners of Ye Wushuang's mouth lifted into a slight, sarcastic smile.
"Of course, I'm just kindly reminding you. Whether you take it seriously or not is your own business."
"If you want me to treat you, I can, but my fee is very cheap—just one million."
Ye Wushuang said with a completely straight face.
One million, and the fee is very cheap?
Lin Yourong was dumbfounded, and she hurriedly waved her hands.
"No, no, I'll go check at the hospital first. Maybe it's not that issue at all."
Are you kidding me? She had scraped and borrowed everywhere just to pull together the money for her husband's surgery; where on earth would she find one million to pay for her own treatment?
Let alone the fact that all of this was still just Ye Wushuang's speculation.
"I really have to go now. My husband is still waiting for this money to save his life."
Lin Yourong took out her phone to check the time.
The surgery was going to start in half an hour.
Nodding to Ye Wushuang and Tang Moxixi, Lin Yourong hurriedly hailed a taxi and got inside.
"Let's get going too," Ye Wushuang shrugged.
"Alright," Tang Moxixi nodded.
The two of them strolled side by side along the streets of the Qinhuai River Bank.
A gentle breeze swept by, feeling like a warm palm stroking one's cheek.
"That big sister... does she really have a breast tumor?"
After walking for a while, Tang Moxixi tilted her head and asked Ye Wushuang.
