Chapter 55 Xiao Nan's Mockery! A Bet! This is Murder!

"Who is this?" Xiao Nan's tone softened as he glanced at Mo Yunguo.

"Doctor Xiao, this is my eldest daughter, Mo Ziyan." Mo Yunguo's face was covered in blisters, currently smeared with ointment, making his speech a little slurred.

However, Mo Ziyan recognized him instantly.

"Miss Mo, it's not that I don't want to save your grandfather, but he's fallen into a deep coma. He can only wake up on his own."

Xiao Nan explained to the anxious Mo Ziyan, "How about this, Miss Mo, come to my office with me, and I'll explain everything in detail?"

Just as Mo Ziyan was about to nod, Lu Pan, who had approached, said with a cold sneer, "Ziyan, with me here, your grandfather will be fine."

Xiao Nan had been so focused on talking to Mo Ziyan that he hadn't noticed Lu Pan, who had accompanied her.

Upon seeing Lu Pan now, he recognized him immediately, his eyes revealing a cold glint. "It's you?"

Lu Pan stepped forward, ignoring Xiao Nan, and said softly to Mo Ziyan, "Don't worry, have you forgotten I also know medicine?"

Hearing Lu Pan's words, Mo Ziyan remembered that Lu Pan had cured her own illness, even making the divine doctor Sun submit to his medical skills.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xiao Nan couldn't help but mockingly laugh, "Kid, you say you know medicine? Do you have a physician's license? I graduated from the Royal Scandinavian Medical University. Which hospital did you graduate from?"

"Miss Mo, please continue to trust my professional diagnosis and don't be deceived by anyone!"

The Royal Scandinavian Medical University was a top ten medical school globally, possessing immense authority. Xiao Nan was fully confident.

"Brother Pan wouldn't lie to me." Mo Ziyan naturally sided with Lu Pan, but Xiao Nan's words made her hesitate. She couldn't help but look up and ask, "Right, Brother Pan?"

Lu Pan stroked her head and replied, "Of course."

Xiao Nan ground his teeth in anger. It was one thing to be rejected by Yun Chuxue, but now, when he finally found a woman he found pleasing, Lu Pan had to interfere again. He, a graduate of a world-renowned university with an excellent job, had nurses in his hospital clamoring to get into his bed. Yet, he had been defeated by Lu Pan twice. Thinking of this made Xiao Nan even angrier.

Lu Pan cast a cold glance at Xiao Nan and indifferently replied, "I don't have a physician's license, nor did I graduate from any medical school. What does that have to do with me saving lives?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan couldn't help but laugh. "Miss Mo, you heard him. He's a complete fraud. Even if he can cure people, it's by fluke, with no science behind it at all!"

As he said this, a malicious thought formed in Xiao Nan's mind. He sneered at Lu Pan and said, "Do you dare to bet with me? If you can't cure Old Master Mo, you'll get out of Qingcheng and never come back!"

Lu Pan's eyes grew cold, and he snorted, "Who do you think you are!"

Xiao Nan's tone faltered. Suppressing his anger, he provoked Lu Pan, "What? Are you scared? Or are you just trying to trick Miss Mo?"

Lu Pan looked at the clownish Xiao Nan, then at the worried Mo Ziyan, and replied, "If I cure Old Master Mo, you'll kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, and crawl three laps around the hospital!!"

Xiao Nan gritted his teeth. He didn't believe Lu Pan could cure Old Master Mo, especially after all the examination equipment had been used. "Fine!!" Xiao Nan agreed. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. In his opinion, Lu Pan had fallen for his taunt.

In the ward.

Most of the Mo family members had woken up, though they were still weak and required further observation. Mo Shiyao looked at Lu Pan entering the ward and said weakly, "Lu Pan, thank you for saving all of us."

Ding Li and other Mo family members recognized Lu Pan and knew he had saved them all, their faces showing gratitude. Regardless of any past dissatisfaction they had with Lu Pan, they owed him a life-saving debt now!

Lu Pan nodded at Mo Shiyao. "You should rest well. I'm going to see Old Master Mo!"

Old Master Mo lay in the intensive care unit, tubes inserted into his nose, mouth, and arm, lying motionless.

"Grandpa." Mo Ziyan's eyes were red, and she choked back a sob. "Brother Pan, you must save Grandpa."

Lu Pan glanced at Old Master Mo and quickly understood his condition. "Lung infection, cerebral hypoxia, accompanied by slight smoke inhalation poisoning," Lu Pan stated calmly. "Don't worry, your grandfather will wake up soon."

Xiao Nan was surprised that Lu Pan could diagnose Old Master Mo's symptoms with just a glance. "This guy must have seen the case file next to him," Xiao Nan thought, spotting the file on a nearby table, and felt relieved.

"Anyone can brag. If you have the guts, make Old Master Mo wake up right now!" Xiao Nan didn't miss the opportunity to provoke Lu Pan. He was waiting to see Lu Pan humiliated.

Because of the altercation between Lu Pan and Xiao Nan, doctors and nurses from other departments had also gathered. They wanted to see how Lu Pan would wake up the deeply comatose Old Master Mo! However, more people were there to witness Lu Pan's downfall. After all, Xiao Nan was their hospital's genius doctor, with overseas study experience, and the prince charming in the hearts of many nurses. They simply didn't believe Xiao Nan would lose.

Mo Ziyan nervously clutched Lu Pan's arm. Lu Pan gave her a reassuring look, and a golden light flashed in his hand, revealing a three-inch-long golden needle.

Xiao Nan also noticed the golden needle in Lu Pan's hand. After a moment of surprise, he scoffed, "So, he's trying to stimulate Old Master Mo's mind with acupuncture. How ridiculous!"

"Yeah, everyone knows that traditional Chinese medicine in China has a bad reputation in recent years. Many people pose as TCM practitioners to scam others, ruining its reputation!"

"Now there's a show to watch. This kid is young, how proficient can he be even if he knows acupuncture?" Several doctors whispered amongst themselves, directly labeling Lu Pan a fraud.

"Keep your voices down. Didn't you see Director Zhang from the TCM department is here?"

"What are you afraid of? The TCM department barely gets any patients all year. What does it matter if he hears?"

"Don't say that. I heard Director Zhang was once the院长's teacher..."

Standing at the edge of the crowd was an old TCM practitioner with greying hair. He adjusted his reading glasses and looked thoughtfully at the golden needle in Lu Pan's hand. Suddenly, the golden needle in Lu Pan's hand transformed into a streak of golden light and directly pierced Old Master Mo's Tianling acupoint!

"Ah!" A young nurse cried out in surprise at the sight.

Xiao Nan's eyes widened in astonishment. He hadn't expected Lu Pan's treatment method to be so crude, directly inserting a three-inch-long golden needle into Old Master Mo's Tianling acupoint! In his opinion, Lu Pan wasn't saving the man, he was killing him!

"You, you're killing him!" Xiao Nan couldn't suppress his internal glee and shouted.

"Shut up!" Lu Pan coldly snorted, his expression stern, and gently twirled the tip of the golden needle. Wisps of green airflow, following the needle, entered Old Master Mo's brain.

"This, this is... the Taiyi Xuanmen Needle?" The old TCM practitioner at the edge of the crowd was overwhelmed with shock.
