Chapter 41

Let's see how you get out of this.

"Okay, he's alright now."

After the acupuncture was finished, the patient's complexion improved significantly, and he stopped crying out.

After taking the woman's pulse again and confirming her diagnosis, Cui Pu gave her a few instructions.

Then he asked a few men to help him get the patient to the ward.

He will need further treatment and rest for his illness.

The old woman readily agreed, and at the same time praised Qin Mo, "This young man must be Cui Shengshou's student, right?"

"That's excellent! A great teacher produces a great student!"

"I could tell at a glance just now that your acupuncture technique was clean and precise, no less than your master's!"

They were all local residents who frequently came to Baolintang for treatment, and over time they gained some understanding of these traditional Chinese medicine techniques.

Even a polite compliment made Cui Pu feel ashamed: "Xiao Liu, you're wrong about that."

He looked at Qin Mo with a sigh: "This young man has surpassed his teacher. I am not his teacher, nor am I qualified to be his teacher."

"To be honest, he's more like my mentor!"

After all that trouble, Cui Pu finally understood.

Qin Mo's medical skills are far more mature than his age suggests.

That kind of insight alone is something I can't compare to.

"Young man, I was blind before and failed to recognize your greatness. Please don't take it to heart."

Qin Mo shook his head: "Elder Cui, there's no need for that. It's not a big deal."

Both of them were very polite, but the neighbors around them still praised them.

With Cui Pu's words today, Qin Mo will at least have no problem finding customers if he wants to open a clinic here in the future.

After the neighbors had all left, Cui Pu turned to Qin Mo with a sigh and said, "Young man, your name is Qin Mo, right?"

"I was being a bit harsh with what I said earlier, please don't take it to heart."

"You wanted to buy my clinic, and I agreed."

"However, I disagree with your offer of fifteen million."

"My clinic is listed for ten million. If you can come up with eight million, I'll give you the clinic!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing and the other person, who had been standing there stunned, became indignant.

Qiu Yue exclaimed in a cacophony, "What?! Eight million!"

"Old man, are you doing this on purpose?"

"Every time we came before, our offer was a million higher than the previous one. Now you're not selling for thirteen million, but for eight million to this bastard?"

"Are you suffering from dementia?!"

She was furious.

She's willing to sell Baolintang to anyone, even if someone offers 20 million to buy it, she won't be angry.

But I just can't sell it to Qin Mo, especially not in front of the two of them!

This is a slap in their face!

Lin Wanqing pulled her back, finally managing to calm down from her complicated emotions.

She tried her best to remain calm, not allowing herself to lose her composure in front of Qin Mo.

"Master Choi, I think you're going to be disappointed."

"Even if the person in front of you has some basic medical skills, it's impossible for him to come up with eight million, or even eight hundred dollars."

"His ambition to buy your clinic is merely a ploy to antagonize me and get my attention."

You've been deceived by him.

She tried to persuade Cui Pu, but Cui Pu didn't give her any face at all, coldly saying, "Miss Lin, although I'm old, I'm not blind or deaf."

"I know better than you whether this young man's medical skills are rudimentary."

"Besides, even if I don't sell it to him, I will never sell this clinic to you!"

"you!"

Lin Wanqing's face turned cold.

She never expected that the old man Cui Pu would be so stubborn.

It's all Qin Mo's fault. If he hadn't interfered, Cui Pu might have given in today through coercion and bribery.

But now, Cui Pu really thinks he has a buyer who will take over, and would rather sell it at a low price than sell it to him.

She was so angry that she almost turned on people and started yelling at them on the spot.

But she couldn't lose her composure; at the very least, she absolutely couldn't let her guard down in front of Qin Mo.

This is exactly what Qin Mo wants to see, and she will never let him have his way!

She coldly swept her gaze over the two people in front of her, finally fixing it on Qin Mo:

"Fine, fine..." Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth and sneered, "Then I'll see how you're going to clean up this mess!"

"Qiu Yue, let's go!"

She didn't want to watch Qin Mo gloat any longer, so she left with a livid face.

As Qiu Yue passed by Qin Mo, she also let out a cold laugh: "Tch, I'll wait and see how you manage to buy the clinic."

"In less than three days, that old geezer will be begging us to buy his clinic."

"You'll understand then that a joke is always just a joke!"

Two women arrived in a flurry with bodyguards, and left in a huff.

Even after leaving the clinic, Qiu Yue was still cursing Qin Mo.

"That bastard is such bad luck, ruining our plans time and time again!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing also felt a headache coming on, and was still rubbing her temples when she got back to the car.

After calming down, she recalled how Qin Mo treated the patient just now, and a look of doubt appeared on her face: "Qiu Yue, what exactly is going on with Qin Mo?"

"How did he suddenly learn medicine?"

"And how did he manage to hook up with Zhuang Xue'e in the first place?"

Qiu Yue has always looked down on Qin Mo, and even now, she still looks at him with disdain.

"Ha, what kind of medical skills? Wanqing, you've probably been fooled by him."

"In my opinion, he just hired someone to put on a show to deliberately get your attention!"

Qiu Yue's eyes flashed with hatred: "He's just deliberately showing off his abilities to you, waiting for you to change your mind!"

After hearing what she said, Lin Wanqing felt it made a lot more sense.

That makes sense. How could a man you've discarded like trash possibly rise to prominence and become a phoenix?

They're all just childish tactics.

"Forget it, let him do whatever he wants. He won't cause any trouble."

"Let's go back first. Baolintang won't work; we need to find a different location to open our physical store..."

Baolin Hall will be closed today after the two left.

Cui Pu invited Qin Mo into the courtyard, and as soon as they sat down, Cui Pu took the initiative to speak.

"Young man, I can tell you have some grudge against those two."

"However, I was right about something earlier: your medical skills are superior to mine, and you are more than qualified to be my teacher."

"I admire you and respect you, so I'm willing to finish this act with you."

"Now, I won't make things difficult for you. It's okay if you don't want this clinic."

It seems that Cui Pu also believed Lin Wanqing and the other person's words, thinking that Qin Mo didn't have the money to buy the clinic.

After all, judging from his clothes and appearance, he didn't seem like someone who could casually pull out ten million.

Qin Mo didn't rush to refute, but instead smiled and said, "Elder Cui, I definitely want the clinic. But I hope to get it for free."

Cui Pu paused, his goatee twitching slightly. "Young man, you're not joking with me, are you?"

"Of course not, I don't like joking." Qin Mo smiled faintly, "Old Cui sold his clinic precisely to raise money to go to the capital to treat your granddaughter's illness, didn't he?"

"If I told you I could cure your granddaughter, would you give me this clinic for free?"

"However, I don't want much. I'll cure your granddaughter's illness, and in return, you can use my clinic for a month. How about that?"

He could spend the money, of course; Lin Bosheng was already waiting outside.

However, this clinic was Cui Pu's life's work, and he didn't like to take away other people's love.

Even more panicked, he knew he would only stay here for a month.

He will leave here in no more than two months.

There's no need to take away someone's life's work before they leave.

Even though Cui Pu once declared that he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Yuanshan Hall, he didn't care.

Medicine and martial arts are inherently different. If more and more medical schools emerge in the field of healing and saving lives, that would be a tremendous good thing.

Cui Pu understood Qin Mo's intention. He was excited for a moment, but his expression quickly became sluggish again.

He gave a wry smile: "Young man, I appreciate your kindness."

"If you can truly cure my granddaughter, I'll give you this entire clinic, let alone just one month's treatment!"

"Although your medical skills are good, my granddaughter's illness is not ordinary and is definitely not something you can cure."

"Apart from that celestial-level medical saint in Kyoto, no one can help me..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mo smiled and took out something.

"From what Elder Cui is saying, anyone can be a medical sage; it doesn't necessarily have to be the one in the capital, right?"

Cui Pu looked closely and immediately widened his eyes: "This is!"
