Chen Mo still held the department's morning meeting as usual after arriving at the hospital.
He then accompanied the doctors on their rounds before heading to his own consultation room.
To Chen Mo's surprise, a patient had already registered first thing that morning.
Chen Mo had initially expected this situation to continue for several days, but a patient had arrived so early.
Glancing at the registration information, Chen Mo frowned slightly, as he noticed the name was identical to someone else's.
Soon, the door to the consultation room was pushed open, and a young man, disheveled, dusty, and with bruises on his face, walked in.
The first glance Chen Mo gave made him think a beggar had arrived.
However, Chen Mo quickly recognized the person β wasn't this Zheng Chen, the sucker he met at the auction that day?
The man had even paid for Chen Mo to acquire quite a few items.
"Isn't this President Zheng? How did you end up like this?" Chen Mo asked, feigning shock.
Back then, Zheng Chen had been in a suit. While he might not have matched Chen Mo's appearance, he was at least presentable. Now, Zheng Chen was clearly a living, breathing beggar!
"How did I end up like this? Chen Mo, you should probably be the one to answer that!" Zheng Chen glared fiercely at Chen Mo.
"Me? What does it have to do with me?" Chen Mo asked, feigning confusion.
Seeing Chen Mo act as if it were none of his business, Zheng Chen, enraged, pulled out a dagger from hisζ.
He then turned and locked the door.
He then turned his furious gaze to Chen Mo, "What does it have to do with me? If it weren't for you, I'd be bankrupt? Abandoned by my family? Detained at the auction for so long? And beaten black and blue! Can you honestly say you have nothing to do with all this?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo finally understood. This Zheng Chen before him was clearly here to demand an explanation.
"If I hadn't been quick-witted and sneaked out of the auction, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape that place my entire life! Chen Mo, I owe all of this to you!"
Chen Mo let out a cold laugh, "Heh, you lose, you pay. How can you blame me? You need to understand that you're an adult, not a child."
"You're holding a dagger, do you intend to kill me?"
"That's right, I intend to kill you! I'm going to stab you a hundred times! No, five hundred times! And then let you die in terror!" Zheng Chen said furiously.
Chen Mo pointed at the registration information, puzzled, "You say you came to seek revenge on me, so why did you register and give me money?"
Zheng Chen said indignantly, "I wanted to come in directly, but the security guards at the door wouldn't allow it!"
"It seems you still have some money on you," Chen Mo said, stroking his chin, showing no fear.
"That's the money I earned from collecting bottles all day yesterday!"
"I was originally planning to buy two steamed buns, but I didn't expect your registration fee to be so expensive, costing fifty yuan! I haven't eaten anything since yesterday!" Zheng Chen said fiercely.
Chen Mo finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?!" Zheng Chen demanded.
"President Zheng, you're probably the most amusing person I've ever seen seeking revenge. To meet me, you actually spent all day yesterday collecting bottles." Chen Mo genuinely couldn't help himself and wasn't mocking the man.
Hearing this, Zheng Chen's face turned green.
Chen Mo then remembered something and asked, "Were those two assassins yesterday hired by you?"
"What assassins?" Zheng Chen asked.
Chen Mo slapped his forehead, "I forgot, you can't even afford the registration fee, so how could you have hired assassins?"
"You! Chen Mo, I've become like this because of you, and you still dare to mock me!" Zheng Chen, holding the dagger in anger, was about to stab Chen Mo.
Chen Mo waved his hand, "President Zheng, you need to think carefully. If you rush at me, the nature of this will change. You might find yourself with no way back."
Zheng Chen said emotionally, "No way back? What other way back could I possibly have? I had already made up my mind before coming here. I want to kill you, and then kill myself. My family doesn't want me anymore anyway, and my life has no meaning."
Then, Zheng Chen no longer hesitated, and charged at Chen Mo with the dagger.
"Bang!"
Chen Mo kicked Zheng Chen in the chest.
"Ouch!"
Zheng Chen stumbled and fell to the ground.
He still wasn't giving up and continued to charge at Chen Mo.
The dagger in his hand actually aimed directly at Chen Mo's chest, intending to deliver a fatal blow!
However, he had underestimated Chen Mo's skills.
Chen Mo's two fingers directly clamped onto the blade of the dagger.
Even with all his strength, Zheng Chen couldn't budge it an inch.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound.
Zheng Chen froze in place.
Because Zheng Chen was shocked to discover that the dagger in his hand had been snapped in two by Chen Mo's fingers!
To be able to snap a dagger with just two fingers, how terrifying was that!
Zheng Chen was dumbfounded. How could he not understand that his desire for revenge had been completely shattered!
Chen Mo flicked his wrist, and the blade of the dagger embedded itself into the wall beside them.
Instantly, Zheng Chen was even more stunned!
He stood there foolishly, staring at the scene with wide eyes.
"President Zheng, you want to kill me? You probably won't be able to. So, you should think about how to repay the auction house." Chen Mo said, then sat back down to drink his tea.
At this moment, Chen Mo's phone suddenly rang.
Chen Mo looked at it; it was an unknown number.
Ignoring Zheng Chen in the consultation room, Chen Mo answered the call.
A charming female voice immediately came through, "Mr. Chen, do you remember who I am?"
Chen Mo paused, but a vision of a seductive and charming woman quickly surfaced in his mind, "Manager Meng, is there something you need?"
The caller was indeed the auction house manager, Meng Zhuqing!
"Mr. Chen, you forgot, they allowed you to call me Zhuqing." Meng Zhuqing sounded slightly displeased.
"Zhuqing, miss, is there something?" Chen Mo called out awkwardly.
"Hehehe."
Meng Zhuqing let out a light laugh, then said, "Mr. Chen, I have some bad news for you. That Zheng Chen accidentally escaped from the auction house. He absolutely despises you, so you need to be careful of his revenge."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo looked up at Zheng Chen, who was still in a daze.
"Miss Zhuqing, thank you for the reminder. You should also hurry and find him, otherwise, if something happens to him, you might not get back the money from your auction house." Chen Mo reminded her.
"Heh heh, Mr. Chen, are you worried about me losing money? Mr. Chen, if Zhuqing runs out of money, will you support me?"
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it all out.
