"The young man just now was treating me," Old Master Mo explained.
Treating him?
The woman frowned slightly, scrutinizing Chen Mo from head to toe.
She then observed her grandfather's complexion. Indeed, he looked much better than before, and when he spoke, there was no more phlegm.
"Nonsense, Old Master Mo, don't be fooled by this brat. He's not a doctor at all. He's just a cleaner who sweeps toilets. He doesn't even have a physician's qualification certificate. How could he possibly treat anyone?" Zhao Lidong immediately jumped out.
Old Master Mo's face darkened. "Director Zhao, are you calling me a liar?"
Zhao Lidong was startled. "No, no, no, how dare I call you that? I mean Chen Mo, I'm saying he's talking nonsense. Please don't believe anything he says. This kid has serious character issues."
Faced with Zhao Lidong's slander, Chen Mo did not argue.
He had clearly seen the change in Old Master Mo's complexion just moments ago.
At this moment, the woman slowly walked up to Chen Mo.
"What are you going to do?" Chen Mo sounded a little nervous.
He still vividly remembered the woman's suplex from earlier.
"Your name is Chen Mo?" the woman asked.
Before Chen Mo could answer, Zhao Lidong eagerly chimed in, "Miss Mo, his name is Chen Mo. He was an intern doctor in my department before, but due to his poor character, he was transferred by the hospital to clean toilets here."
"Did I ask you?" The woman's icy gaze swept over Zhao Lidong.
Her overbearing aura made Zhao Lidong shrink back in embarrassment, daring not to speak again.
However, his gaze towards Chen Mo was filled with mockery.
He believed that with Chen Mo's actions just now, the Mo family would absolutely not let him off!
"Yes, my name is Chen Mo," Chen Mo replied.
"Do you have a way to save my grandfather?" the woman continued to ask.
"Yes," Chen Mo nodded.
"Very well, I'll give you a chance. From now on, your grandfather's illness will be your responsibility, Chen Mo."
Chen Mo blinked, looking at the woman in shock.
He had prepared many arguments, intending to persuade this cold and aloof woman to let him examine Old Master Mo. But he never expected that she would offer it herself.
Zhao Lidong, standing nearby, was also stunned and quickly tried to intervene, "Miss Mo, this is absolutely not possible! He's just a cleaner, a toilet cleaner at that. How can you let him treat Old Master Mo!"
"Then you do it?" the woman said indifferently.
Uh...
Zhao Lidong's further words were immediately choked back.
"If you don't have the ability, then shut up. Do our Mo family's decisions require the approval of a mere department director like you?" The woman's subsequent words utterly disgraced Zhao Lidong.
Especially since he didn't dare to retort.
Seeing Zhao Lidong's embarrassed expression, Chen Mo couldn't help but curve his lips.
"How long will it take to treat my grandfather's illness?" the woman asked Chen Mo again.
"Three to five hours," Chen Mo said after a moment's thought.
"What?!"
The woman and Old Master Mo were both startled.
The people around them also looked astonished.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Lidong, whose face had been grim just moments ago, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chen Mo frowned slightly and touched his chin. "Actually, two to three hours would also work."
"What?! Two to three hours?!"
The crowd was further shocked.
Chen Mo showed a troubled expression. "If the medicinal ingredients are all available, and I work hard, it's not impossible to do it in an hour."
Boom!
The entire place fell silent.
Everyone stared at Chen Mo, dumbfounded.
Chen Mo said with a helpless expression, "An hour is really the shortest time. You can't rush this kind of thing."
The crowd was speechless.
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, Zhao Lidong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Chen Mo, what did you just say? Do you know what Old Master Mo is suffering from? An hour? Even getting hemorrhoids removed requires a week's hospitalization. An hour, even if you're bragging, you should be mindful of the occasion. Are you insulting the intelligence of Old Master Mo and Miss Mo?!"
The woman frowned slightly and said, "I'll give you a month."
Chen Mo asked, "Are you not trusting me?"
The woman remained silent, clearly not believing that Chen Mo could cure her grandfather's lung cancer within an hour.
"Chen Mo, do you really think Miss Mo is a fool? One hour? If you can cure Old Master Mo's illness in an hour, then all the toilets in the hospital will be cleaned by me alone from now on!" Zhao Lidong also made a bold statement.
Chen Mo sneered, "Good, I've been waiting for you to say that."
"What do you need?" the woman asked coldly.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and listed a pile of Chinese herbs: "I need a box of silver needles, and also Fritillary Bulb, Astragalus, American Ginseng, Atractylodes Macrocephala, Licorice, Lotus Seeds, Ginseng, Pinellia Ternata, Trichosanthes Kirilowii, Atractylodes Chinensis, Bambusa Textilis, Dandelion."
The woman glanced at Zhao Lidong. "Does the hospital have these items?"
Zhao Lidong quickly nodded. "Miss Mo, these are all relatively common Chinese herbs, and the hospital has them."
"Then go and prepare them for him."
"Alright, I'll arrange it now." Before leaving, a cold smile appeared on Zhao Lidong's lips.
As soon as he stepped out of the fire escape, Zhao Lidong took out his phone and dialed the hospital director.
Soon, Chen Mo returned to the ward with Old Master Mo and the others.
Chen Mo seemed a little surprised. He had just started his internship and didn't know that the hospital wards had such luxurious suites.
About ten minutes later, the ward door was pushed open.
Leading the way was an old man in a white coat. Chen Mo recognized him at a glance as Jiang Hongwen, the executive vice president of their hospital.
Behind him followed other hospital leaders, with Zhao Lidong trailing at the very end.
Outside the door, doctors had already crowded. The news that Chen Mo was to cure Old Master Mo's lung cancer within an hour had spread throughout the hospital.
Many of these people were there to watch the spectacle.
Jiang Hongwen briefly understood the situation and his gaze fell on Chen Mo, who was still wearing his cleaner's uniform.
"Chen Mo, you need to think carefully about the consequences before you act. If anything happens to Old Master Mo, you will not be able to bear the responsibility."
"Don't worry, Vice President Jiang, I will bear all the consequences myself," Chen Mo said calmly.
This was his opportunity, and he would not let it slip away.
Moreover, things had reached this point, and there was no turning back now.
Jiang Hongwen nodded to Zhao Lidong beside him.
Zhao Lidong carried a bag and handed the Chinese herbs to Chen Mo.
At the same time, he whispered, "Chen Mo, I know exactly how capable you are. I want to see how you'll get out of this."
His tone was full of smugness.
"I'd actually like to see again the scene of Director Zhao cleaning toilets with his face."
"Hmph, let's see how long you can be arrogant."
After handing over the herbs, Zhao Lidong snorted and retreated.
