Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2240 A Surprise Attacks the Heart
If it weren't for his older sister forcing him to come, Zhong Xiangxin would have genuinely refused to meet Bian Mu. He knew better than anyone that the car accident had severely damaged his health. No matter how reckless he was in his daily life, his family background, education, and experience were still there. He had a basic understanding of medical knowledge, philosophical concepts, and logical reasoning. No one's damaged health could be fully restored in a short period of time, and even the wealthy Zhong family couldn't achieve their goal.

A true man stands between heaven and earth; what joy is there in living?! What fear is there in dying?! To sit idly by like a cripple, guarding the family business?! Is that still Zhong Xiangxin?!
Life is simply worse than death!
Even if Bian Mu keeps bragging, if he can't solve this problem, what's the point of all this charlatanry in front of his father and older sister?! In the end, isn't he just trying to get some sponsorship from the Zhong family to open branch clinics everywhere, using their resources to manufacture and sell so-called new traditional Chinese medicines with questionable ingredients?!
What else could be new and exciting?!
Zhong Xiangxin truly looked down on Bian Mu deep down.

The usually gentle and refined Dr. Bian suddenly pulled this stunt, leaving Zhong Xiangxin so surprised and furious she almost fainted! Just as she was about to lash out, her phone rang.

A phone call from the second young master of the Xu family in Nanjin.

Overjoyed, Zhong Xiangxin didn't have time to argue with Bian Mu and quickly took out her phone to answer the call.

Over the phone, the second son of the Xu family said that their company could continue to provide all the raw materials for the previously interrupted project at the same price. However, at the end of 2026, Zhong Xiangxin's company would have to pay them a "market credit guarantee deposit" to offset the corresponding losses caused by the Xu family's failure to raise prices in line with market conditions.

Zhong Xiangxin immediately agreed and then thanked him repeatedly. Xu's second young master was obviously not interested in listening to his rambling and hung up the phone directly.

Zhong Xiangxin felt somewhat awkward. Back then, even if they had a hundred times the courage, would any member of the Xu family have dared to treat him like this?!

Overwhelmed with mixed emotions, Zhong Xiangxin's arrogant and untamed ambition seemed to have been suddenly hollowed out by an invisible, lingering force, leaving him feeling empty and lost. Wait, what?! His legs felt unsteady; what was happening?! His entire mind felt like an overinflated balloon—was it about to explode?!

Zhong Xiangxin suddenly felt a little guilty...

Instinctively, Zhong Xiangxin turned her head very naturally and glanced at the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic twice, then slightly raised her left arm and pointed seemingly unintentionally towards the clinic's entrance...

Soft and limp, Zhong Xiangxin slid gently onto the floor tiles like a damp towel drying on a clothes rack, without a sound, not even a "plop" could be heard. Like a falling leaf, she was light and weightless.

If Zhong Xiangxin knew that he was as insignificant as a broken branch or withered leaf at that time, I wonder what he would think...

Among the row of luxury cars, a rather mature-looking male driver was the first to realize something was wrong. Perhaps his family had experienced a similar misfortune. Without thinking too much, the driver pushed open the car door, rushed out, and shouted a few hoarse warnings to the group of young men chatting idly on the street...

The driver and his assistant rushed ahead, while the young men lagged far behind. The group desperately crossed the road and headed straight for the direction where Zhong Xiangxin had collapsed...

……

Bian Mu appeared unusually calm.

"What's the panic! Call his sister over, and don't stand so close! I'm warning you! President Zhong's situation is extremely dangerous right now. If something really happens to him tonight, do you think the Zhong family will let it go?! If the Zhong family really settles scores with those responsible... then those closest to President Zhong might be in trouble..." Bian Mu gave a lukewarm reminder.

Before he finished speaking, the group of people were suddenly thrown back a long distance as if they had been electrocuted... Only a tall man in his late twenties stood motionless in place.

Bian Mu guessed that the person in front of him was probably Pan Shaojie, who was always trying to save face in front of him, an unconventional young master who had nothing to do all day and found all sorts of strange and quirky things to do for fun.

Those onlookers who were quick-witted had already called and notified Miss Zhong immediately.

No medication, no injections, no oxygen support... and no emergency IV drips were arranged either. Bian Mu simply directed a few honest-looking drivers and assistants to carefully wrap Zhong Xiangxin's feet in several layers of medical blankets. As long as the "Yongquan acupoint" on the soles of her feet didn't lose temperature too quickly, it would be a piece of cake for Zhong Xiangxin to get through the night.

Pan Shaojie didn't really care about Zhong Xiangxin's life or death. Being a fool all day didn't mean he was mentally deficient. He had heard a lot about Bian Mu. Lei Xiaoxuan and the others were absolutely right. This young doctor in front of him was much calmer than he had imagined. He did have some extraordinary demeanor. At least, Bian was definitely not someone who was afraid of trouble. Pan Shaojie was deeply impressed by this.
"May I have a word with you in private?" Pan Shaojie finally admitted defeat. No matter what, if Zhong Xiangxin really died at the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic tonight, and if the Zhong family really pursued the matter, he, Pan Shaojie, would definitely be held responsible. Besides, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family appears to be quiet and virtuous, but if she really got angry and dealt with someone... the entire Pan family would have to think twice!
"How much do you know about how dangerous President Zhong's situation is right now?!" Bian Muyu said with a smile, her tone laced with threat.

Pan Shaojie was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.

"The older driver, stay here and give me a hand. The rest of you, go outside and wait. You can go out too!" Without any politeness, Bian Mu directly ordered them to leave.

Pan Shaojie had already discerned something from Bian Mu's eyes that he had never seen before. He was indeed quite shrewd, and it was clear that recently, from any perspective, he was really no match for this quack doctor in front of him. Well! A wise man submits to circumstances! He wouldn't stoop to the level of this kid.

Pan Shaojie habitually tapped his fingers a few times, then sent two assistants to help the more experienced male driver. They were to do whatever Bian Guanzhu told them to do. After glancing at Bian Mu's back a couple of times, Pan Shaojie led everyone out onto the other side of the road to get into the car and wait.

……

When the eldest daughter of the Zhong family saw her younger brother like that, she was terrified.

"What's going on? He..." The eldest daughter of the Zhong family lost her composure as her voice trembled.

"It's nothing serious, should I contact them? I need to borrow an emergency room from the hospital." Although she said that, Bian Mu was actually worried that the clinic would get dirty during the treatment.

Miss Zhong had no idea about the unusual content here. She nodded slightly and quickly made a phone call to several of her trusted friends.

……

The emergency facilities at the top-tier hospital were indeed much better. Forty-seven minutes later, Zhong Xiangxin's vital signs gradually returned to normal, and the eldest daughter of the Zhong family finally felt completely relieved.
