Nevertheless, the man eventually showed some perceptiveness. Noticing Du Heng and Wu Buwei intended to let go, and his Wife looked ready for another round, he tactfully shut his mouth after a few brief comments.
Before Du Heng could say anything, Wu Buwei stepped forward to play the good guy. "This Patient, you shouldn't be too emotional."
Then he turned to the man and said, "Sir, are your injuries okay? I'll take you to Dr. Yu to have your wound disinfected, alright?"
The man wanted to speak again, but when he saw Du Heng also release his grip, he choked back his words. After a glance at his still furious Wife, he obediently followed Wu Buwei out.
As he left, it seemed he knew he'd lost face, so he covered his face with both hands, preventing anyone outside from seeing his sorry state.
When you see many Patients, you encounter all sorts of them.
But Du Heng had never before seen a husband publicly beaten like this.
