This outburst startled Wu Yu.
Would he resort to killing him on the spot to silence him?
As the thought crossed his mind, the pain in his body lessened, replaced by an overwhelming sense of fear. However, as the heir of the Wu family, he managed to suppress his terror and continued his threat: "You, you wouldn't dare. If you dare touch me, the Wu family will never let you go!"
Han Mo remained unfazed. "If you recover, you'll seek revenge on me yourself. If you die, the Wu family will avenge you. After much thought, I suddenly realized that dragging you down to hell with me would be the most cost-effective."
Yan Feng blinked in surprise, frowning. "Teacher Han, please be cautious!"
Wu Yu was the heir of the Wu family. Teaching him a lesson, and to save face, the Wu family might not dare to make a big fuss, especially given Black Gold Academy's standing. However, if something truly happened, the Wu family would absolutely not let Han Mo and Bai Xi off.
At this moment, Wu Yu finally broke. He could genuinely see death. In the face of his life, all pride and face suddenly became insignificant. "No, no, that's not what I meant. What I mean is, if you heal me now, I'll let bygones be bygones. I won't make things difficult for you, nor for your girlfriend."
Yan Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Honestly, he wouldn't believe a single word Wu Yu was saying at this moment.
However, Han Mo currently had no better options.
Perhaps, after considering all angles, there were only two paths. First, find a sufficiently powerful backer. But the influence of the Wu family was immense; apart from backers at the level of top commanders in the Dark Department, it was unlikely anyone would dare to step forward. The other path was to take his family and leave Black Gold Academy, leave the capital, so the Wu family's reach wouldn't extend that far...
The dark power... It was enough to make one feel desolate just thinking about it.
Han Mo glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more. The silver needles in his hand, however, spoke volumes. Another needle fell, this time piercing his back. The pain was incredibly sharp and unbearable!
Wu Yu knew he was being tortured, but he no longer dared to utter a single boastful word. Wu Yu, since birth, had never felt so humiliated!
Just then, a frail voice echoed, "What are you doing!"
Everyone turned to see an elderly man with white hair, wearing a white lab coat, approaching with a stern expression. This person was none other than Elder Gao from the Medical Department of Black Gold Academy.
Elder Gao was in the midst of preparing a new thesis when he learned about the impending merger of the Medical and Martial Arts departments for combined classes. The collaboration and shared learning between the Medical and Martial Arts departments were, in principle, a good thing.
However, he couldn't understand why Principal Wei had entrusted such an important matter to a young teacher who had just joined Black Gold Academy.
How could this be acceptable?
Medicine was built upon the foundation of people's lives; it was not to be taken lightly.
Therefore, he decided to see for himself, and that's when he witnessed the scene before him.
Upon seeing Elder Gao, Yan Feng's brow furrowed slightly.
Elder Gao was a pillar of Black Gold Academy, renowned for his kindness and his commitment to medical ethics, which he valued more than his own life. Even though, in their eyes, Wu Yu had deliberately provoked trouble today, Elder Gao would surely not stand by and allow Han Mo to retaliate against Wu Yu under the guise of treatment.
If Elder Gao discovered Han Mo acting this way, he might expel Han Mo from the academy and from the medical profession, which would likely be a fatal blow to Han Mo.
"Elder Gao, it's nothing major. A male student from our department was injured during a spar, and someone is currently treating him."
Bai Xi also frowned slightly, genuinely surprised that the legendary Elder Gao had appeared.
She had considered seeking help from Elder Gao for her brother's illness, but they had never met.
Earlier, Han Mo had falsely claimed to be Elder Gao's disciple, then later said that the Hall Master of the Kui Hall and Elder Gao were brothers-in-arms. Before that, he had told Wei Changhe that Elder Gao knew him, suggesting they were indeed acquainted. However, she was unsure of the exact nature of their relationship.
She knew Elder Gao's character, and Han Mo's use of medical skills to target Wu Yu was clearly contrary to Elder Gao's principles. She wondered if he would suppress Han Mo because of this.
Teaching Wu Yu a lesson was merely a secondary matter after arriving at Black Gold Academy. If this incident led to Elder Gao targeting Han Mo and affected the investigation into the Kui Hall, it would truly be a loss.
With that thought, she looked at Han Mo.
Han Mo was also looking at her, his dangerous eyes holding an indescribable tenderness, like a soothing gesture, causing her to gradually relax, as if he were saying, "It's alright, I'm here."
Elder Gao, unaware of the situation inside, frowned. "Why is the treatment sounding so agonizing? And I thought I heard something about being a disgrace to doctors. Has someone done something that harms medical ethics, shaming us doctors?"
"No, no! Doctors are professions under the sun, glorious and great. How could that happen!" Yan Feng stepped forward, blocking Wu Yu and Han Mo and the others behind him, and immediately tried to smooth things over. "Besides, I didn't hear anything either! You must have misheard!"
Elder Gao peered suspiciously inside, trying to see if the situation was as Yan Feng described.
Seizing the opportunity, Wu Yu loudly exclaimed, "Elder Gao, help me! This quack is trying to kill me under the guise of treatment!"
Hearing this, Elder Gao's expression instantly changed.
As a doctor, medical skill was important, but medical ethics were even more so. A doctor lacking in skill was a quack; a doctor without ethics was no better than a beast!
"Who dares to harm a patient in the name of medicine here!"
Wu Yu shouted, "It's him! The new teacher from the Medical Department. He's doing this to me out of revenge for some lowly woman."
Upon hearing this, Elder Gao's anger flared. He said to Yan Feng, "Move aside."
Yan Feng frowned, unsure what to say. After a moment of hesitation, he finally moved aside.
Really, Wu Yu was already subdued, why didn't Doctor Han just silence him? Now that Elder Gao knew, how could this matter be easily resolved?
Elder Gao's face contorted with anger, his wrinkles deepening. "I want to see who dares to joke with medical treatment!"
Wu Yu, lying on the ground, his face contorted with pain, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
Excellent! With Elder Gao here, Han Mo wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him. Given Elder Gao's temperament, as long as the charge of Han Mo harming a patient was proven, Han Mo's career would be ruined. Once he was disgracefully driven out, the Wu family would ensure he couldn't live or die!
"Elder Gao, it's him, this quack! He wants to kill me!"
Wu Yu cried out more vehemently, hoping Elder Gao would save him and punish Han Mo.
Elder Gao finally approached the crowd and saw Han Mo, whom Wu Yu had identified. His pupils dilated instantly, and his astonishment was evident.
Seeing that Elder Gao showed no reaction after seeing Han Mo, Wu Yu assumed he was angered by Han Mo's actions and continued to lodge his complaint with even greater zeal. "Elder Gao, it's him! Under the guise of saving me, he intends to kill me!"
Unfortunately, Elder Gao seemed frozen as if by magic, staring at Han Mo without moving.
Wu Yu's body ached all over, and his anger flared, but he still had to suppress it and remind Elder Gao again, "Elder..."
However, the moment he uttered the first syllable, Elder Gao moved. His previous calm and dignified steps vanished, and he strode directly to Han Mo.
Just as everyone expected him to reprimand Han Mo, he surprisingly grabbed Han Mo's hand with the excitement of seeing a beloved relative. "How could it be you? Why are you here..."
The City Lord of Qing Yu City was the savior of his wife, and thus, also his savior!
