The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter Ninety-One: Soon, Soon

Chu Ruohan was confused. Manager Wu turned and left, as if afraid that her reaction to say another word would puzzle her.

"Dr. Xiao Bai, did I say something wrong just now?" Being rather shy, she felt a little embarrassed and unsure how to proceed. She glanced innocently at Mo Bai beside her and asked softly.

Mo Bai was stunned. Manager Wu's meaning was so obvious, yet Miss Chu still couldn't understand it?

However, she quickly realized that she was ultimately just a girl born into a wealthy family. Although she seemed mature and well-mannered, it was all just upbringing. The Chu family wouldn't actually send her out into the world to learn these social etiquettes of greeting and seeing off guests. She had only been exposed to them a little, and she was certainly still somewhat unfamiliar with them.

"No, Manager Wu is just being polite!" Mo Bai looked at her slightly flushed face, shook his head and chuckled softly.

"Then...should I go over now and express my family's sincere gratitude again?" Chu Ruohan glanced at Manager Wu, then hesitated for a moment.

Mo Bai's lips curled slightly upward: "There's no need for that. Leave these matters to your father and elder brother. When you return, simply tell them what Manager Wu said, and they will handle it appropriately. As a young lady, Manager Wu naturally won't say much to you."

"Hmm... alright." Chu Ruohan felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly. It was better to leave this matter to her older brother.

"Come on, let's sit down for a while!" Mo Bai sat down with Chu Ruohan, glancing at Manager Wu again, his smile deepening.

That's all the better, since he's actively distancing himself from the situation...

Before long, all the medicinal herbs had been prepared, and Mo Bai stood in front of the counter watching Manager Wu personally calculate the price.

Needless to say, compared to the last time I got the medicine, this time it was truly fair and ruthless.

Shopkeeper Wu glanced at Mo Bai out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that he seemed not to care at all about the difference between the price of the medicine and the price he paid last time, he felt a little more at ease. After all, offending someone in person would make anyone feel a little uncomfortable.

Mo Bai noticed the slight oddness in Manager Wu's expression, but he simply smiled and helped Chu Ruohan examine the medicinal herbs without showing any resentment.

"Miss Chu, please give my regards to your father and wish him a speedy recovery!" Manager Wu said politely before leaving.

"Manager Wu, you're too kind. I apologize for my rudeness today. My elder brother will personally come to Jishi Medical Clinic to thank you another day!" Chu Ruohan said.

"No, no!" Manager Wu waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "How could I possibly take credit for Mr. Changqing's work? Miss Chu, please don't say such things, absolutely not!"

"Manager Wu, I won't bother you any longer. Please be sure to inform Doctor Zhu when he returns. Master Chu has prepared some gifts today, so I can finally meet Doctor Zhu in person!" Mo Bai said, bowing.

"Mr. Changqing, you are too kind. But please rest assured, I, Wu, would not dare to delay you!" Manager Wu bowed and saw the guest off.

Mo Bai smiled and nodded, then cupped his hands in farewell to Dr. Chen, who had stood up, saying, "Dr. Chen, farewell!"

"Take care!" Dr. Chen's eyes were already calm, and he simply nodded slightly.

"Let's go!" Mo Bai nodded to Chu Ruohan, and the two turned around.

Before they even reached the clinic's entrance, Manager Wu, who had been smiling and watching their retreating figures, seemed to suddenly remember something. His eyes widened, and he quickly turned to his servant and asked, "Does Miss Chu have a receipt for the medicine prescription?"

"Yes!" the servant nodded quickly.

To avoid disputes, clinics always keep a copy of the prescription when dispensing medicine. After all, this is a matter of life and death, and any problem could lead to a major issue. If the patient's family tries to blame the clinic, it will be a huge problem.

Having the prescription recorded provides a basis for action. In critical situations, fellow medical professionals can be asked to uphold justice. However, if the prescription itself is flawed, then it is no longer the clinic's concern.

"Give it to me quickly!" Manager Wu said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing.

The servant dared not delay and quickly handed him a copy. Manager Wu didn't even look at it before hurrying towards Doctor Chen: "Doctor Chen, this is the prescription written by Mr. Changqing. Please take a look!"

Doctor Chen glanced up at Manager Wu's expression but didn't take the prescription, saying softly, "Manager Wu, why are you showing me Mr. Changqing's prescription?"

"Dr. Chen, this Mr. Changqing is only twenty years old, yet he dares to diagnose and prescribe medicine. How can we feel at ease? It's one thing if the medicine is ineffective, but if there is a serious problem, it is a matter of life and death. How can we sit idly by?" Manager Wu said with a serious expression.

"Mr. Changqing is the doctor invited by the Chu family. He took over the patient and wrote the prescription, so he is responsible for it. Miss Chu did not ask me to verify the prescription just now, so how can I speak ill of other doctors' methods? The medical profession does not tolerate such things, and I do not have that ability." Doctor Chen lowered his eyes slightly and said indifferently.

Shopkeeper Wu felt a surge of disgust. He knew the old man had long disliked him, but he had no choice but to endure it. He said, "Doctor Chen, that's not how it works. You know what Young Master Chu did a few days ago. This Master Chu is no ordinary person. If something goes wrong with this prescription, since we're the ones who got the medicine, who can guarantee they won't be unreasonable if the Chu family gets angry? If it involves us, it could cause quite a bit of trouble."

"Heh!" Doctor Chen's lips twitched slightly. Of course, he knew that Manager Wu was not worried about Master Chu's illness. If he really had such a concern, why would he push a disease that the entire medical community was helpless against into the hands of a quack doctor who was not even twenty years old?

Although I knew Manager Wu's temperament beforehand, I still couldn't stand this kind of thing. After all, we were both doctors, and even if we weren't familiar with each other, I felt disgusted by this kind of thing that framed doctors.

In the end, Dr. Chen accepted the prescription. In life, no matter how much you hate something, you still have to compromise with reality.

Since he works at this Jishi Medical Clinic and receives generous compensation, he has no choice but to serve the clinic.

"Hmm?" After carefully examining each ingredient in the prescription, Doctor Chen was startled and looked up at Manager Wu with surprise: "This was prescribed by Master Changqing?"

"So there really is a problem?" Manager Wu's voice immediately rose a little, clearly indicating that he was in better spirits.

"Hmph!" Seeing his expression, Doctor Chen's face immediately darkened. "Manager Wu's words are probably inappropriate!"

"Uh... I knew this Mr. Changqing was too young. What's going on? Miss Chu hasn't gone far yet. If there's a serious problem, we have to hurry and catch up. We absolutely can't let Mr. Chu be in danger. This is a matter of life and death..." Seeing Doctor Chen's expression, Manager Wu's face flashed with embarrassment. He secretly resented the old man.

Dr. Chen ignored him and looked back at the prescription, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes looking up in confusion.

After a long while, he slowly exhaled, his voice filled with obvious amazement, "I never expected that I had misjudged him. Just from this prescription alone, it's clear that Mr. Changqing is no ordinary person. This medicine... is truly wonderful!"

"Hmm?" Manager Wu was taken aback, then his expression changed slightly: "Doctor Chen, what do you mean?"

Doctor Chen glanced down at the prescription again and said softly, "This prescription seems simple, but it is truly miraculous. I find it hard to believe that it was written by a young doctor who is only eighteen years old..."

Upon hearing Doctor Chen's high praise, Manager Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he became inexplicably nervous. He asked urgently, "Doctor Chen, could this prescription really cure Master Chu's illness?"

Dr. Chen really didn't want to talk to him, but he still frowned and pondered for a moment. Finally, he shook his head slightly and sighed, "It's not that simple. Although I haven't tested Mr. Changqing's prescription for common stroke cases, I can basically conclude that it's a classic formula! But Mr. Chu's symptoms are truly troublesome. The blockage is too severe, especially in the head. To this day, his eyes are still crooked and his mouth is slanted, and it's still difficult to clear the blockage. This prescription is good for attacking the body's limbs, but with the acupoints in the head blocked, the body's limbs are like rootless duckweed. This prescription... I'm afraid it will still be difficult to be effective!"

He didn't say anything more, but shook his head slightly, looked towards the door, and sighed softly, "This Mr. Changqing must have come from a master's school, but... what a pity, what a real pity!"

Manager Wu didn't care about whether it was a pity or not. He only felt a sense of relief when he heard that this place could not achieve its goal. Then he felt a little self-deprecating. I knew it. How could it be?

In the entire Mingzhu Medical Pharmacy, even Doctor Zhu was at a loss. What merit or ability did this young man possess?

If he truly possessed such skill, why would he be a wandering doctor? Why would he need to seek treatment from Doctor Zhu?

"So, this prescription is fine?" Manager Wu asked, seemingly a little regretful.

Dr. Chen finished packing her things, turned around, glanced at him, and said, "Move aside!"

Dr. Chen ignored him, walked past him, finished get off work, and left.

Manager Wu, however, curled his lips and shook his head regretfully. If there was really a problem with the prescription, he would immediately go to Master Chu's residence to point it out.

Actually, people are really complicated.

Mo Bai and Manager Wu had no prior grudges, so Manager Wu shouldn't have been so wary of him and so intent on harming him.

But after all this turmoil, Manager Wu felt increasingly guilty towards Mo Bai. He had already offended him openly today, so naturally he harbored a deep resentment towards Mo Bai.

In order to have peace of mind, she naturally hoped not to face this person again, and therefore became even more hostile towards Mo Bai.

Furthermore, if there really is a problem, wouldn't my going to the Chu residence also demonstrate my concern for Master Chu?

Presumably, the Chu family will have to repay this favor in due time...

……

After saying goodbye to Miss Chu, Mo Bai was unaware that Manager Wu was regretting not being able to trick him out of his prescription. In fact, the reason he took Miss Chu to the Jishi Medical Clinic to get the medicine was so that they could verify the prescription.

"By now, they should have a better understanding of my abilities..." Standing at the entrance of He's Restaurant, Mo Bai's lips curled into a slight smile: "Soon, soon!"
