First Assistant's Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 87: I wonder if Dogs would want to Eat you

Lu Jiao didn’t want Qi Lei to see the surgery tomorrow. This was because, for Xie Yunjin’s surgery, she needed to use anesthesia and antibiotics. Those were not drugs she wanted Qi Lei to see.

She didn’t have a big pile of those medicines in her space. If she uses them up, she’ll need to figure out a way to get more.

Lu Jiao said to Qi Lei, “Tomorrow’s surgery is very bloody. It’s not suitable for a beginner to observe. You can start observing when I do smaller-scale surgeries. You’re new and you need to ease into it. The surgery is important tomorrow – what if you pass out while I’m operating? That would endanger my husband.”

Lu Jiao’s statement was logical. Many people could not handle situations that bloody. If something did happen, it would negatively impact Xie Yunjin and she didn’t want to risk it.

Qi Lei thought her argument had merits and agreed. Plus, he silently used his imagination to visualize exposed bones and muscles. The thought of it made his scalp numb.

Though he’s treated many patients, he’s never cut anyone open.

Lu Jiao remembered something important as she reached the exit. She couldn’t let Xie Yunjin see that she was the surgeon so she needed him to be asleep before she got in there.

Lu Jiao thought about it and then took out a tranquilizing pill from her sleeve.

“Once my husband arrives, get him to take this. He will fall asleep after he takes it. I will go inside to do the surgery after he’s asleep.”

“Okay.”

Qi Lei had no reason to say no. After this was settled, Lu Jiao left.

It was still early and Lu Jiao was in no rush to get back. She went to a store and bought a whole bunch of bowls and eating utensils. Then, she bought three pounds of candy.

She didn’t buy any baked goods since Xie Yunjin’s classmates gifted them so much. Though she brought some out today in her basket, she had secretly snuck them back into her space.

Lu Jiao then secretly took out some peaches and grapes from her space and snuck them into the basket as she placed her newly bought candy inside.

It was late now and she planned to get food nearby.

When she turned into an alleyway, a few men jumped out and blocked her.

The man that led the group was stocky and muscular. There was a scar on his face that made him appear extremely violent and aggressive.

The four to five men behind him were no upstanding citizens either.

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow as she checked these people out. She didn’t recognize them so why were they blocking her way?

Lu Jiao narrowed her eyes.

The leader of the pack opened his mouth in disdain, “You are the fat pig who hurt sister Shen Xiu. You sure are ugly but somehow, you have guts.”

He then waved at his subordinates, “Come and grab a hold of her. Then sell her to one of the brothels.”

One of his subordinates shouted, “She’s so fat we won’t get much money from the brothel.”

“They’ll take her for two taels of silver.”

The scar face glared, “Go get her.”

The men began to crowd Lu Jiao. Calmly, Lu Jiao placed her basket on the ground.

She wasn’t scared because while she was putting down her basket, she secretly sprayed around some knock-out drug. Hiding behind her basket, she took a gulp of the antidote.

The moment she stood back up, a few people attacked from behind. She aimed her fist at one of the men while she kicked away the other attacker.

Lu Jiao was naturally strong and since these people highly underestimated her, her attack surprised them and they both flung outwards.

The others were shocked and were too scared to move.

The scar face’s expression changed. He waved around his hand, “This pig sure has some skill. No wonder she was able to hurt sister Shen Xiu. Go get her!”

This time, the men were better prepared. They carefully surrounded Lu Jiao.

With a smile, Lu Jiao stared at the men and started to clap.

“Three.. Two…”

A few of the men felt their vision go black and their legs go limp. Very quickly, they collapsed onto the ground.

The scar face was now flustered, “What did you do to them!?”

“What do you think I did?”

She started to slowly pace towards scar face.

By now, he had realized that this woman was no joke and started to retreat. Finally, he flat out turned around to run.

Sadly, the knock-out drug had invaded his system and his legs too, gave up on him and he fell.

Lu Jiao stomped on him. Still a little conscious, scar face threatened, “You… let me go. I will never let you get away with this.”

Lu Jiao laughed as her gaze turned somber, “Not let me get away? Tell me, how are you going to do that?”

She then swung around her arm and a scalpel appeared in her hand.

Scar face’s eyes widened into the size of eggs. How did this woman get a knife out of thin air? Was she a demon?

Scar face felt all the hair on his body stand up. Lu Jiao bent down and slid the scalpel down his face, “What an ugly face. Why don’t we skin you and use your skin to make a drum?”

Before he could answer, Lu Jiao shook her head, “No, no, to make a drum with such ugly skin would mean the drum will come out damaged. Then why don’t we skin you and feed your bones to the dogs? I wonder if dogs would want to eat you.”

Scar face started to perspire. He didn’t get the sense that this woman was joking since her tone was so serious.

Scared, he shouted in horror, “Don’t kill me! It was Shen Xiu! She asked me to sell you to the brothel.

She promised to be with me for a month and that’s the only reason why I agreed to help her. It’s not my fault. It’s not -”

The drug in his system took over and he passed out.

Lu Jiao took out the antidote and held it under his nose. After a while, he woke up.

Lu Jiao dug the scalpel into his neck. Sensing pain, scar face shrieked.

“Sister, I won’t hurt you anymore. Please don’t skin me and feed me to the dogs. I promise that I won’t ever trouble you again. Please, forgive me!”

Lu Jiao’s lips stretched out as she snickered gloomily, “I can do that if you do me a favor.”

Scar face complied right away, “Of course, of course!”

Lu Jiao put away the scalpel and looked down at the man, “Since Shen Xiu likes the brothel so much, then make sure she has a good time there.”

She then stared at scar face, “I hope you shut up about this. If I even hear a whiff about this, I will gladly skin you.”

Behind her, the scar-faced man on the ground didn’t dare to breathe a word. This woman was a demon, not a human.

“Of… of course, of course.”
