Xiao Nan left in a disheveled state.
Old Master Mo had just woken up and needed rest, so everyone left the room, leaving a nurse to care for him.
Outside the ward.
Zhang Jingtao rushed forward, looking at Lu Pan with some excitement, and asked with a trembling voice, "Young friend, was that the Taiyi Xuanmen Needle you just used?"
Lu Pan had noticed Zhang Jingtao long ago. What surprised him was that Zhang Jingtao, an ordinary person, actually knew the Taiyi Xuanmen Needle.
Lu Pan nodded.
Seeing Lu Pan admit it, Zhang Jingtao became somewhat incoherent with excitement, "Excellent, excellent... it really is the Taiyi Xuanmen Needle."
Saying that, Zhang Jingtao reached out to grab Lu Pan, "Young friend, could you come with me somewhere to help treat an old friend?"
Lu Pan dodged Zhang Jingtao, frowning slightly, "Sorry, I'm not interested!"
With that, he took Mo Ziyan's hand and walked towards the ward where Mo Shiyao was.
Zhang Jingtao was somewhat unwilling. He stumbled forward and said urgently, "Young friend, young friend, please let me finish. My old friend fought on the battlefield for decades and sustained many injuries... I've researched many materials and ancient texts, and asked many old friends, only to find that the legendary Taiyi Xuanmen Needle, which can both save and kill, can help him prolong his life..."
"Young friend, young friend."
Lu Pan was Zhang Jingtao's only hope.
Lu Pan stopped and turned back to ask, "You said he fought on the battlefield for decades?"
Zhang Jingtao took a breath and nodded quickly, "Yes, my old friend fought on the battlefield his whole life, shedding blood and sacrificing for the country. In his old age, he doesn't even have a son or daughter."
"Good," Lu Pan agreed.
Lu Pan sincerely respected the older generation who fought on the battlefield.
Without them, there would be no peace today; without them, there would be no tranquility now!
"Young friend agreed?" Zhang Jingtao thought he misheard and asked Lu Pan with disbelief.
"Time, location!" Lu Pan asked directly without further ado.
"Haiwang Road, number 66," Zhang Jingtao said with joy, "Do you have time tomorrow, young friend?"
Lu Pan nodded, "Tomorrow at eight in the morning, see you at 66 Haiwang Road!"
After speaking, Lu Pan and Mo Ziyan left.
—
Ward.
"Shiyao, I just found out about the fire. I put down what I was doing and rushed here immediately. How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"
A man with brown hair entered the ward holding a bouquet of flowers and looked at Mo Shiyao with concern.
Mo Shiyao frowned slightly, showing a hint of dislike towards the man.
"Oh, why isn't this a VIP ward?"
Before Mo Shiyao could speak, the man put down the flowers and questioned a nurse beside him, "Are there no more VIP wards? It's not like we can't afford it!"
"Sorry, sir, the VIP wards are already full," the nurse replied.
The man was about to continue, but Mo Shiyao interrupted him, "Liu Wu, I'm fine. The VIP ward can't accommodate so many people, and I want to be with Mom and Dad."
Ding Li, who was beside them, said with a smile, "Shiyao, Liu Wu is also thinking of you."
"Liu Wu, you didn't have to bring so much with you when you came," Ding Li said, looking at Liu Wu like a mother-in-law appraising a son-in-law, clearly hoping to match him with Mo Shiyao.
"Aunt Ding, this is what I should do," Liu Wu said politely. "I should have called Shiyao last night, but I was busy with the company's IPO."
Ding Li smiled even more when she heard this, "The company's IPO is the most important thing. We're fine, aren't we? Don't worry."
Liu Wu's eyes were always on Mo Shiyao. Seeing that she didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, he said, "Shiyao, when you're discharged, I'll rent the Pearl cruise ship and take you to relax for two days, how about it?"
"Pearl?" Mo Shiyao finally showed a hint of interest, "Is it the Pearl, one of the seven most luxurious cruise ships in the world?"
"That's right. The Pearl will arrive at Qingcheng East Port tomorrow and is said to dock for seven days," Liu Wu said with pride. "I know a vice-captain who operates the Pearl. Renting it for two days should be no problem."
Mo Shiyao was indeed tempted. After all, it was one of the seven most luxurious cruise ships in the world, and it would be good to experience it.
Ding Li couldn't help but ask, "Liu Wu, how much is the rental fee for one day?"
"It's not much, about ten million a day," Liu Wu said casually, as if twenty million was nothing to him.
"Ten, ten million?"
The Mo family's annual profit was only forty to fifty million. Renting it for one day would cost ten million, which still shocked Ding Li.
"What ten million?"
Mo Ziyan pushed the door open and asked curiously.
"Ziyan, Liu Wu wants to take your sister on the Pearl cruise ship. If you have nothing to do, you should come along too."
Ding Li quickly waved to Mo Ziyan.
Although Ding Li was grateful for Lu Pan's life-saving grace, she still hoped her two daughters would marry into wealthy families.
Liu Wu met Mo Ziyan for the first time. A flash of astonishment flickered in his eyes, and he quickly hid the emotion.
Mo Shiyao's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Pan following Mo Ziyan.
In her heart, Liu Wu was nothing compared to Lu Pan!
"Mom, I'm not interested in the Pearl, so I won't go."
Mo Ziyan shook her head. Nothing could attract her more than her Brother Pan.
"You little girl..."
Ding Li was about to say something more when Mo Ziyan interrupted her, knowing what her mother was thinking.
"Mom, since you're all fine, I'm relieved. Brother Pan will take me back to school later. I'll come see you again after class in the evening."
Mo Ziyan hugged Ding Li and then cautioned Mo Shiyao, "Yaoyao, you stay in the hospital and be good. I'll bring you the claypot rice you love tonight."
Mo Shiyao hummed and glanced lingeringly at Lu Pan.
Unfortunately, Lu Pan's eyes were only on Mo Ziyan.
She showed a sly look and asked with a smile, "Lu Pan, will you come with my sister tonight?"
Mo Ziyan looked back at Lu Pan.
Liu Wu also looked at Lu Pan upon hearing this, showing a hint of hostility.
"Brother Pan might be busy with other things. If he's not busy, I'll drag him over," Mo Ziyan preempted Lu Pan, coming to his rescue.
"Where does brother work?" Liu Wu couldn't help but ask.
Lu Pan didn't want to deal with him, but since he was a guest of the Mo family, he had to consider Mo Ziyan's feelings.
He replied faintly, "Unemployed for now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wu's eyes showed a mocking expression, "Is that so? My company is planning its IPO. If brother doesn't mind, you can come to our company as a..."
At this point, Liu Wu paused, his face beaming with a strong sense of superiority, and continued with a smile, "I think you look quite strong and not bad-looking. How about coming to our company as a Public Relations Manager?"
Mo Ziyan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, showing some displeasure towards Liu Wu.
Mo Shiyao looked at Lu Pan curiously, wanting to see his reaction.
Ding Li felt a little awkward, but still spoke up to defend Liu Wu, "Lu Pan, Liu Wu means well."
Lu Pan, however, started to laugh, "Idiot, your company will never go public!!"
