Jimmy and Tang really didn't know what to do at the time.
This Owen was now being talked about intensely.
Many said he had super strong combat skills.
He might have been a special forces soldier before.
Or maybe he had some superpower.
After all, getting an American to believe the Earth is round,
is almost as difficult as convincing them Spider-Man is real.
Jimmy and Tang were quite afraid of Owen; if they didn't handle things well, something big could happen.
So, in their minds, they needed to find someone formidable to handle it.
Brother Pi?
This guy is even dumber than the two of them!
Although, usually, fools have a non-mocking agreement with each other.
But at a time like this, you have to be realistic.
Jimmy and Tang felt Brother Pi definitely couldn't solve the problem with Owen.
So, they thought of someone more formidable.
Attorney Oden.
They called Oden, and the result was quite peculiar.
This lawyer was indeed somewhat impressive, and went straight to chatting with Owen.
The two of them had no choice but to follow suit.
Owen's gaze was intimidating, and the two were trembling as they handed over the phone.
Luckily, they made the right choice.
They had no idea how Oden talked to Owen.
Owen's murderous intent had notably decreased.
Afterwards, they went to the second floor of the Asian Supermarket.
And then they saw Dr. Zhou.
Alright, Dr. Zhou did not pay much attention to the two of them.
Once Dr. Zhou arrived, Attorney Oden's punchable face changed.
It became... even more punchable.
F*ck, why don't you give us that smile?
But right after, Oden ushered the two out.
Clearly, to leave Dr. Zhou and Owen alone.
Honestly, Jimmy and Tang really wanted to listen in.
These two are quite the gossipers.
But they had no choice, Oden dragged them out.
In the small law office, only Zhou Mo Sen and Owen were left.
From the start, Zhou Mo Sen felt that this Owen was not an ordinary person.
Everything happening now validated his thoughts quite well.
But the Owen in front of him was really pitiful.
Never mind the bloodstains, he had at least three bullet wounds.
Fortunately, none of them were fatal.
The key was, this guy was emitting a foul stench.
Heard he was found in a garbage pile?
That would explain the stench.
Thus, the opening remark was made.
"Those garbage might help you hide, but they could also take your life. Your wounds are likely already infected, and without tetanus or anything, this is bad news..."
This statement almost sentenced Owen.
You are not far from death.
From the moment Zhou Mo Sen came in, Owen's eyes had fixed on him.
Now, being spoken to like that, he should be angry.
But Owen was rather calm.
"Life or death doesn't matter to me."
This sounded somewhat pretentious.
Zhou Mo Sen smiled, "Really? If you don't want to live, why run? Why hide yourself?"
Owen remained calm, "That's my basic instinct, years of training, I don't die easily."
Translation: Not willing to die at the hands of small fry.
Zhou Mo Sen nosily asked, "What training? Were you in the military before?"
Owen's eyes revealed he didn't want to say.
Zhou Mo Sen intended to say: Can you fight? What's the use of fighting?
But couldn't say it.
"Owen, dare to make a bet? I think you still want to live."
"No need to bet, I admit I want to live."
This guy Owen was quite honest.
This time Zhou Mo Sen put away his smile, "Are you still tangled up with something? What do you want to figure out?"
This touched Owen deeply.
"Dr. Zhou, you are a doctor, can you answer some questions for me?"
Actually, Owen's previous look already implied he wanted to understand some truths.
Zhou Mo Sen understood, that's why he said this.
"Ask away."
Owen didn't look at Zhou Mo Sen, instead seemed to be pondering.
"You know, the biggest shock for me when I went to kill this time wasn't that Sect Leader, but those followers.
At the time, I heard words like this.
They knew the truth, yet still chose to believe that guy.
The key was, they said it's too expensive to cure illnesses, they truly..."
Just hearing part of it, Zhou Mo Sen was certain.
American version of "Dying to Survive"!
When the film was released, some had already said.
That drug in reality wasn't as expensive as described in the movie.
Our domestic market actually gave quite a significant discount.
Zhou Mo Sen didn't remember the details too clearly.
But probably, continuously taking for a few months, approximately three months, and then free for the next year.
It seemed like that; Zhou Mo Sen couldn't recall specifics for the moment.
Because such discounts existed on expensive drugs, but not entirely the same.
Domestically, we've been working hard to lower drug prices.
Health insurance negotiations with pharmaceutical companies, many internet users have read the stories.
Our country's medical system is indeed trying hard; many drugs and medical devices have been reduced in price.
Didn't the heart stent substantially drop in price too, but I heard it went back up later.
Zhou Mo Sen isn't a specialist in this field; he only heard.
This high cost, sometimes there's just no way around it.
Zhou Mo Sen also admitted that even with discounts, the drug in "Dying to Survive".
Is really f*cking expensive!
Truly unaffordable!
Switch to the United States, and it gets even more complicated.
"Do you want to ask, why is treatment so expensive?"
Owen nodded.
Zhou Mo Sen replied quite indifferently, "It's hard for me to answer precisely. I can only tell you, some illnesses were untreatable before; with medical advances, they became treatable.
But medical advances and technological development all cost money."
After hearing this, Owen was filled with disappointment.
Did Dr. Zhou answer his question?
He did, but it seemed he didn't.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Mo Sen suddenly posed a question.
"Owen, the United States is a market economy, right? The American healthcare system is fully marketized and commercialized.
So I ask you, a person's life is thrown onto the market.
How much is this person's life worth?
In other words.
If he was dying, and we doctors saved his life,
How much should we charge?
If he has money, we charge whatever he has.
Is it too much?"
This wasn't a series of questions; it was actually one!
Owen's eyes widened, and a tremendous emotional upheaval raged within him!
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen's words weren't questions at all.
They were an answer!
Summarized, Zhou Mo Sen himself was very clear.
His question boiled down to three characters: system question!
Undeniably, American healthcare is so expensive because it's a system issue.
At this moment, observing Owen's expression.
Zhou Mo Sen understood his strategic borrowing of common knowledge really worked!
Also, I, Zhou Mo Sen, wasn't misleading anyone.
The complete commercialization and marketization of healthcare in the United States is the real reason medical costs keep rising.
Just as he was thinking, Owen suddenly spoke, "Dr. Zhou, I want to live, I don't want to die."
Zhou Mo Sen smiled, "How much do you plan to give?"
Perfectly aligning with the question he just raised.
Owen stared at Zhou Mo Sen and said, "Whatever you want, I'll give it."
Zhou Mo Sen directly quoted a price.
"Then become my sword!"
