It now seemed that she was not just a firecracker, but also had the potential to be a time bomb. At least for now, she was holding herself back, though the look she cast inside was already ablaze.

“Medical police.” Jason Scott’s voice sounded again, quite strange—clearly, he had never heard of anything called a medical police.

“A doctor among the police, just muddling along.” David Harris said, ignoring Jason Scott’s earlier words, and walked straight over, crouching down to check on Nina King who was lying on the ground. At this moment, Nina King’s face was deathly pale, the light in her eyes already fading. When she saw David Harris, her lips moved as if to say something, but nothing came out. She had been shot in the neck, and the bullet had hit a blood vessel. Fortunately, Lily White had been pressing on it with her hand the whole time.

When Nina King saw David Harris, she became so agitated that no matter how hard the wound was pressed, the blood couldn’t be stopped, and it kept flowing faster and faster through Lily White’s fingers.

“Hmph!” Seeing David Harris ignore her words and crouch down, the person inside snorted.

Bang… A gunshot rang out, hitting the ground not far from David Harris. The sparks from the bullet striking the floor made Lily White’s pupils contract slightly in tension.

But David Harris seemed completely unfazed, as if he didn’t notice them at all. In fact, David Harris had already pushed his embryonic breathing technique to the limit. If the other side really locked onto him and fired, he would still have some sense of it. Coupled with the keen instincts honed from years of fighting on the edge of life and death, it was unlikely that an ordinary gunman could hit him.

David Harris nodded at Nina King, showing a calm and reassuring smile. He found that aside from the wound on her neck, she was otherwise fine. But right now, Nina King was far too agitated, which was clearly not good. With this in mind, David Harris immediately took out something resembling an inhaler used by asthma patients. This was the latest generation of American military calmative, a sedative spray that could quickly calm a patient’s emotions and prevent their condition from worsening due to agitation. He gently opened the patient’s mouth and sprayed twice.

“Are you… sure you can handle this?” Lily White looked at David Harris in surprise, amazed by his composure just now and puzzled by his actions.

After all, the medical police in the Anyang branch was a joke. Just now, Lily White had cursed out all the bureau leaders in her mind—these bastards brought someone like this here at a time like this, as if things weren’t chaotic enough already. But now, she had no choice.

David Harris’s medicine was definitely effective, given its value—a bottle of calmative cost over twenty-six thousand US dollars. If it didn’t work quickly, that would be strange. Soon, Nina King’s expression became much calmer, and she gradually closed her eyes, like a sleeping baby.

“Take your hand away.” David Harris flicked Lily White’s hand lightly, and Lily White felt a numbness, instinctively pulling back. David Harris quickly wiped away the blood around the wound, but more blood immediately welled up. A bloody hole could be seen, caused by the bullet passing through from the side. Fortunately, it hadn’t hit directly, or there would have been no hope—only the blood vessel was damaged.

In this situation, external wound coagulant was no longer effective. If the blood vessel wasn’t sutured, external control would always be limited. But such a surgery was impossible for David Harris to perform here, and the conditions didn’t allow it.

David Harris’s fingers weren’t pressing on the wound itself, but on several other acupoints of the injured officer. Still, the bleeding clearly began to slow.

Lily White looked at David Harris in amazement. This was her first time seeing a medical police officer. She had only heard about him before—everyone said he had connections up top and was just here to hold a position. But just now…

When she saw David Harris not pressing on the wound, Lily White immediately exploded, anxiously saying, “Do you even know what you’re doing? Can you handle this or not?”

If it weren’t for the special circumstances right now, at any other time, Lily White—this firecracker—would have already blown up. Even now, her fists were clenched. If David Harris really messed things up, she would not hesitate to take action, regardless of his background.

David Harris pressed on the injured officer’s acupoints with one hand, using his own strength to seal several points. If it were another part of the body, like the hand, foot, or elsewhere, David Harris could completely block the blood flow temporarily without much impact in the short term. But blood supply to the brain couldn’t be completely blocked—he could only slow it as much as possible. Fortunately, it wasn’t a major artery. If it had been a large or medium artery, the blood would have sprayed out, not just flowed. Major arterial bleeding usually can’t be stopped, as the arteries are deep inside the body, and blood loss leads to shock and death in seconds.

Now that Lily White could stop the bleeding with her hand, it was probably just a vein or a small artery. If it was a vein, compression would suffice. But since compression wasn’t working well, it was likely a small artery or a slightly larger vein that was damaged.

With David Harris’s medical skills and rich combat experience, he quickly made the right judgment. So all he needed to do was use the powerful calmative to calm the patient, and use acupoint control to slow the blood flow, buying enough time.
