"That was something my sister spent five hundred million yuan on at an auction to treat our father," Wu Linxiong said, his face darkening. "Mr. Chen, aren't your demands a bit too much?"
The middle-aged doctor beside him immediately showed delight. He knew he was right; this young man was a fraud. He had heard about the Morning Glow Group's acquisition of the sky-high-priced Blood Bodhi. That was precisely why he had gone to such lengths to get acquainted with Wu Linxiong and offer to treat his father.
"Mr. Wu, you see, this kid is a swindler. The Blood Bodhi, your family bought it for five hundred million yuan." He glanced at Chen Mo with schadenfreude.
Wu Min frowned slightly and looked at Chen Mo. "Mr. Chen, your request is a bit too excessive, isn't it?" If it weren't for Huangfu Qi and Zhang Chaoyang, she would have turned on Chen Mo on the spot. However, Wu Min had also decided that she would absolutely not use Chen Mo's prescription.
Chen Mo smiled faintly. "Ms. Wu, I said I wanted the Blood Bodhi, but I didn't say I wouldn't pay. What's excessive about that?"
"Pay?"
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged doctor couldn't help but laugh. "Kid, were your ears deaf just now? That's something worth five hundred million yuan! Not five hundred thousand or fifty million! Even in the entire Jianghai City, there are very few people who can come up with five hundred million yuan at once, let alone a young brat like you!"
Wu Min and Wu Linxiong didn't comment. They thought the same thing.
Chen Mo smiled playfully, took out a checkbook from his pocket, and quickly wrote down an amount. He then tore off the check and handed it to Wu Min. "I've cured the old gentleman's illness. On top of the original five hundred million, I'll add another hundred million. I hope Ms. Wu will sell the Blood Bodhi to me."
Boom! When everyone saw the check Chen Mo produced, they were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Wu Min stared at the check in Chen Mo's hand for a long time, dumbfounded.
Wu Linxiong couldn't help but walk over quickly and look at the check in Chen Mo's hand. He was certain that this check was legitimate!
"Ms. Wu, if the price isn't suitable, we can discuss it further," Chen Mo said again when the two remained silent.
The middle-aged doctor beside them was completely dumbfounded. He never expected to be proven wrong so quickly. Just as he said Chen Mo couldn't come up with the money, Chen Mo produced six hundred million yuan!
"This, this check must be fake!" the middle-aged doctor quickly said. He still couldn't believe that a young man like Chen Mo could have six hundred million yuan!
Zhang Chaoyang then spoke up. "Ms. Wu, Mr. Chen's check is legitimate. If it's not, our Zhang family will cover the six hundred million."
Wu Min was shocked again! This was six hundred million yuan, not six hundred thousand! Zhang Chaoyang's words showed how highly he regarded the young man in front of him.
"What kind of person are you? Six hundred million, can you, an old geezer, afford that?!" the middle-aged doctor cursed at Zhang Chaoyang.
Zhang Chaoyang smiled playfully, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the middle-aged doctor. He was only so respectful in front of Chen Mo, but that didn't mean he, the head of the Zhang family, was someone to be trifled with.
"If I, Zhang Chaoyang, couldn't afford six hundred million, I'd be a laughingstock among all the noble families," Zhang Chaoyang said playfully.
"Hmph, you really think..." Just as the middle-aged doctor was about to retort, his expression suddenly froze. "You, who did you say you were? Zhang, Zhang Chaoyang?!" The middle-aged doctor's eyes widened. After arriving in Jianghai, he had researched the wealthy and powerful families. He naturally knew the name Zhang Chaoyang! The middle-aged doctor hadn't expected the person in front of him to be Zhang Chaoyang!
"Patriarch Zhang, I, I wasn't mocking you just now. I meant that swindler, I was talking about him. You must have been deceived by him too," the middle-aged doctor hastily explained.
However, just as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a man rushed back from outside, holding a lab report. The man said, "Master, the test results are out. The medicinal residue indeed contains a prohibited substance, Dimethylflurin."
Zhang Chaoyang took the lab report and personally handed it to Chen Mo. Chen Mo didn't take it and instead looked at Wu Min. Wu Min quickly took it and looked at the contents. When she saw Dimethylflurin, she was completely stunned. Her beautiful eyes showed a look of anger, and her hands holding the paper trembled slightly.
"Ms. Wu, what is this test?" the middle-aged doctor couldn't help but ask.
Wu Linxiong stepped forward angrily, grabbed the middle-aged doctor by the collar, and said, "It's the test of your so-called immortal medicine!"
Boom! The middle-aged doctor was shocked and completely dumbfounded!
"That, didn't the old gentleman take that pill?" the middle-aged doctor quickly asked.
Wu Linxiong sneered, "This is the medicinal residue found in your brocade box!"
"You beast, you actually used such despicable means to make us think my father's condition had improved! People like you deserve to die!" Wu Linxiong punched the middle-aged doctor directly in the face.
"Bang!"
The middle-aged doctor's face was hit, and he let out a cry of pain, falling to the ground. At this moment, the middle-aged doctor felt dizzy, and his nose was bleeding profusely, making him look extremely miserable. However, no one present felt any pity for him.
"Mr. Wu, please listen to my explanation. This, this must be a misunderstanding!" the middle-aged doctor pleaded.
"Bang!" Wu Linxiong kicked the middle-aged doctor. "Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding your uncle!" Wu Linxiong could no longer control his anger and kicked the middle-aged doctor repeatedly. It was only when the middle-aged doctor was beaten to the brink of death that Wu Linxiong stopped.
Wu Linxiong, panting, took out the thirty million yuan check from the middle-aged doctor's pocket. He then shouted, "Someone, drag this dog out and send him straight to the police station!" Several men dragged the half-dead middle-aged doctor out.
At this moment, Chen Mo spoke again. "Ms. Wu, how about six hundred million yuan for this Blood Bodhi?"
Wu Min looked at Chen Mo and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, may I ask why you want this Blood Bodhi?"
Chen Mo didn't hide it. "It's like this, my beloved wife suffered a serious injury and urgently needs the Blood Bodhi for treatment."
"What?! Madam is seriously injured?" Huangfu Qi and Zhang Chaoyang were both shocked!
Chen Mo nodded but didn't elaborate. Wu Min then pushed away the check in Chen Mo's hand.
