Chapter 6
The Zhang Family
An hour later.
Qin Mo put away the silver needles, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the black line had stopped spreading.
Then, he quickly pulled Su Wanxing's clothes up.
"Okay, she's alright now."
Upon hearing this, Su Dingshan finally let out a long breath.
He quickly stepped forward and, after confirming that Su Wanxing's vital signs had stabilized, excitedly grasped Qin Mo's hand.
"Xiao Qin, thank you so much!"
"If it weren't for you today, Wanxing might really be beyond saving."
"I was blind to your greatness before, and I now sincerely apologize!"
Qin Mo waved his hand dismissively, "Uncle, don't be so polite. Since you're an acquaintance of Master, this small favor is what I should do."
Then, his gaze fell on Elder Jiang and Li Xin: "However... some people are different."
He turned his head to face the two men.
Su Dingshan understood and immediately said, "Little Qin, what do you want to do with these two people? Do you need me to handle it?"
Qin Mo waved his hand: "No need."
When it comes to cleaning house, it's his personal responsibility.
He walked up to Old Jiang, turned his back to Su Dingshan, and directly showed him a jade pendant.
"As a disciple of Yuanshan Hall, you are incompetent in medicine, a habitual liar, and a contemptible killer."
"From today onwards, Yuanshan Hall will no longer have anyone like you."
"Did you understand?"
Upon seeing the jade pendant, Old Jiang, who still held onto a sliver of hope, instantly collapsed.
Li Xin looked at Qin Mo as if she had seen a ghost.
This jade pendant is a token of the head of the Yuanshan Hall!
"You, you are...?"
Qin Mo put away the jade pendant and interrupted directly: "Never mind who I am. If you continue to practice medicine in the name of Yuanshan Hall, the consequences will be..."
"I see!"
Old Jiang looked ashen-faced, as if his soul had been ripped out.
Being expelled from Yuanshan Hall is equivalent to being expelled from the medical profession.
However, if one disobeys the orders of Yuanshan Hall, it will not be as simple as just leaving the medical profession.
"Take your people and get out of here."
Seeing that he understood, Qin Mo said no more.
The two of them didn't dare to linger and slunk away.
Upon witnessing this scene, Su Dingshan fell into deep thought.
No matter what, Elder Jiang is still a member of Yuanshan Hall.
Given Yuanshan Hall's background, even if I wanted to take action, I would have to consider Yuanshan Hall's feelings.
But Qin Mo actually made Old Jiang leave with just one sentence?
This young man is extraordinary!
That evening, Qin Mo stayed at the Su family's house temporarily.
Although Su Wanxing's condition has stabilized, she has not yet woken up.
Qin Mo also suggested that it would be better to let her remain unconscious for two more days, administer acupuncture twice more, and then wake her up.
This time, Su Dingshan agreed without even thinking.
The next morning, Qin Mo got up early and went downstairs, where he ran into Su Dingshan and his wife.
Because of what happened yesterday, Shen Biqin looked somewhat embarrassed when she saw him today.
But she still didn't treat Qin Mo well.
Even if he could cure diseases, a convict is absolutely not good enough for her daughter!
"Little Qin is awake? Come quick, I was just about to send someone to call you for dinner."
Qin Mo smiled and waved his hand in refusal: "No need, Uncle, I plan to go out for a while."
The situation was urgent yesterday; he hadn't even had time to go home after being released from prison.
Su Wanxing's condition has stabilized today, and he plans to go home to see his mother, Shao Lanfang, first.
He comes from a single-parent family; his father is a soldier.
His father died shortly after he was born, and Shao Lanfang raised him all by herself.
Later, they found Qin Yurou, who had been abandoned, and ended up dragging two others along with her.
After he went to prison, the person who was most heartbroken was Shao Lanfang.
He would have gone back yesterday if Su Wanxing hadn't been critically ill.
Upon hearing that Qin Mo was about to leave, Su Dingshan hurriedly offered to personally escort him, but Qin Mo politely declined.
He didn't want any outsiders present during the mother-son reunion.
Su Dingshan expressed his understanding, but still arranged for someone to drive him there, as it was difficult to get a taxi in the villa area. This time, Qin Mo did not refuse.
As soon as Qin Mo left, Shen Biqin finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Su Dingshan, you're supposed to be the richest man in Xichuan, why are you always so subservient to that kid? You've completely disgraced him!"
"I was terrified to let him stay at my house yesterday! Do you know I didn't sleep a wink last night?"
Su Dingshan's expression turned displeased: "What are you saying? Mr. Qin... Little Qin just saved Wanxing's life, what's wrong with him staying at our house?"
"Isn't he a doctor? Saving lives and treating illnesses is his duty, and it's not like we're not willing to pay!"
Shen Biqin rolled her eyes: "I'm warning you, even if his medical skills are not bad and he happens to save Wanxing, I will not agree to this marriage."
No matter how skilled a doctor is, frankly speaking, he's still just a wage earner.
Want to join the Su family? Dream on!
Su Dingshan shook his head, sat down, and sighed softly, "You don't agree? I was more afraid he wouldn't agree..."
"Ha, he doesn't agree? Look at how eager he was to prove himself yesterday, he was more like he couldn't be happier!"
Shen Biqin rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky: "I'm too lazy to talk to you. Let him heal Wanxing first. If you don't kick him out after that, I will!"
She slammed her hand on the table, losing all interest in eating, and left Su Dingshan behind before going upstairs.
……
Xichuan, Anding Community.
Qin Mo went straight here after leaving the Su family.
During his years in Blackstone Prison, he was unable to contact the outside world.
So they didn't know that three years ago, their original house was demolished, and Shao Lanfang moved here.
Standing at the entrance of Anding Residential Area, Qin Mo was stunned.
The environment here is even worse than where they used to live.
The location is close to the suburbs, the buildings are dilapidated, and there is garbage everywhere.
These places are low-rent housing specifically designed for migrant workers.
The house was cold and damp, and the rooms were small and dilapidated.
"Didn't Mom receive compensation for the demolition three years ago? How come she's living here?"
Qin Mo was somewhat confused.
Shao Lanfang has a stable job and is now in her early fifties.
With the demolition compensation, even if she's not around and Qin Yurou doesn't care, her life shouldn't be too bad.
Qin Mo had a bad feeling and quickly followed the address he had found earlier to find the address.
But as soon as he reached the door, he heard a barrage of insults.
"You old bastard, where's your money? Why is it only eight hundred yuan this month?!"
"I...I was sick this month and took some medicine..."
"Take medicine? You dare buy medicine? That's my money! I'll teach you to squander it!"
--Snapped!
A slap was heard, followed by the sound of something hitting the ground.
Qin Mo heard Shao Lanfang's screams and his blood rushed to his head.
He strode forward and kicked open the dilapidated door.
--boom!
The iron gate was kicked down, startling everyone inside.
Qin Mo almost fainted when he saw the scene inside.
Four burly men were crammed into the cramped room.
Shao Lanfang was only fifty years old, but half of the black hair she remembered had turned white.
He was dressed in tattered clothes and was extremely thin.
At that moment, she was being stepped on by a man and forced to kneel in front of another man sitting on the sofa.
That slap just now made her spit out a mouthful of blood!
