Chapter 77

Vicious Competition

Those motorcyclists came quickly and left quickly.

After the Molotov cocktail was thrown in, the person disappeared without a trace.

Qin Xiaoyao reacted quickly. Without Qin Mo needing to say anything, he had already stepped forward and knocked several Molotov cocktails away, causing them to explode in mid-air.

However, Qin Mo also noticed that along with the Molotov cocktail, there was also a note.

Qin Xiaoyao picked it up and handed it to him. He opened it and saw a sentence written on it.

"Close the store within three days, or face the consequences!"

"What a fine 'bear the consequences'..." Qin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing without a doubt who had sent this note.

Hua Guangyuan and Hu Yuanhua were acting under orders. If they fall, they will definitely report it to the person behind them immediately.

Qin Mo rushed back because he was afraid that the people from Tailin Medical Clinic would cause trouble for Cui Pu and his grandson.

I never expected them to be so arrogant.

Afterwards, Qin Mo asked Qin Xiaoyao to clean up the shop and close it temporarily for the day.

Back in the backyard, he told Cui Pu and his grandson what Yang Tianrui had found out.

"Tai Lin Medical Clinic?"

Upon hearing the name, Cui Pu's expression darkened: "I've heard of them. They're a clinic under Shenzhou Pharmaceutical. They tried to acquire my clinic before, but I didn't agree."

His reason for not agreeing was simple.

Like Lin Wanqing, he could tell at a glance who truly wanted to practice medicine and help the world, and who just wanted to use the Baolin Hall's name to make a fortune.

"Alas, you don't know this, but Shenzhou Pharmaceutical is backed by the Qian family and the Pharmaceutical Association."

"In my early years, I had several prescriptions, and they came to talk to me about buying them."

"At that time, I was already resigned to it, but I found out that they did not produce according to my prescription at all. Instead, in order to reduce costs, they replaced the medicines in my prescription with cheaper and less effective medicines."

"I had a falling out with them over this, and they didn't sell me the rest of the prescription."

"A while ago, I heard that they made some kind of health supplement, claiming that it could treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases..."

Cui Pu is old now, and the righteous indignation he had in his youth is long gone.

Besides, he has no connection with Shenzhou Pharmaceutical now, so even if he wanted to criticize it, he wouldn't have a way to do so.

His words carried little weight; they could never compare to the resounding reputation of Shenzhou Pharmaceuticals.

All he could do was refuse the visits from Tailin Medical Clinic.

Who knew that this would lead to a feud?

"They've really gone too far."

Cui Ruiling frowned, her pretty face flushed with anger: "We just run a small clinic, and our fees aren't high. We're not interfering with their business at all, so why are they doing this?"

"Yes, my prescription has already been sold. They can't possibly hold a grudge until now, can they?" Cui Pu couldn't understand it either.

Qin Mo snorted coldly: "It's precisely because our fees are low and our medical skills are good that we're blocking their way."

For Shenzhou Pharmaceutical, the goal is not to make money from a single clinic.

Their concern for the existence of Baolin Hall likely stems from other reasons as well.

"Never mind that for now. I'll have Xiaoyao stay at the clinic for the next few days. Don't leave the clinic unless absolutely necessary."

They have no evidence now, and if they go to the other party's door, there's nothing they can do if the other party denies it.

In the end, you might even get a bucket of dirty water thrown on you.

Qin Mo told the grandfather and grandson to be wary not only of outsiders retaliating, but also of those who were taking advantage of the situation.

He always felt that the people at Tailin Medical Center wouldn't let it go so easily.

And so, Baolintang closed for one day and reopened early the next morning.

After what happened the day before, many neighbors came to visit today.

Besides providing medical care, they also offered words of comfort and support.

However, a special guest has arrived today.

"Dr. Qin, Dr. Cui, please come and see my husband!"

Qin Mo had already booked all his appointments, and there weren't many patients coming for treatment today. He was about to leave when he was stopped by a series of urgent shouts.

As Cui Pu and I walked out, we saw an elderly woman helping her husband walk in.

The old man was in his sixties, and his complexion was extremely poor, with cold sweat pouring down his body.

If it weren't for the elderly woman supporting her, she wouldn't even be able to walk.

They were all neighbors, and patients who knew the patient quickly stepped forward to help.

Qin Mo glanced at him and immediately ordered, "Take him straight to the examination room."

After placing the elderly woman on the hospital bed, Qin Mo first inquired about her condition.

"How long has he had these symptoms?"

The old woman was flustered, but she tried to calm herself down: "Just an hour ago, he suddenly told me that his stomach hurt. I thought he had eaten something bad."

"But about half an hour ago, he was still in terrible pain and kept vomiting."

"When I touched him, he still had a fever, and he could barely hear me when I spoke to him..."

The old woman's description was quite detailed, and Cui Pu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but look serious when he heard about the symptoms.

"That sounds like... the early signs of sudden liver failure!"

Qin Mo picked up the old man's hand, examined it, and then checked his eyes, confirming his statement.

"It's acute liver failure, let's save the patient first."

Cui Pu had already prepared the silver needles for him, and Qin Mo immediately began the first aid.

First, prick the ten acupoints to release blood, which can reduce fever and stabilize body temperature.

Then, he punctured Neiguan and Shenmen points to stabilize his heart rate.

Watching from the side, Cui Pu asked, "In his condition, should we use the Qingfeng Acupuncture Technique?"

Qin Mo nodded: "Old Master Cui is still as sharp as ever, that's true. However, we need to add a set of continuous acupuncture, otherwise the old man's body won't be able to handle it."

"He is very weak now and has long suffered from blood and qi deficiency. He also has a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."

"Using only the Qingfeng acupuncture technique may trigger complications in him."

Qin Mo explained as he quickly applied the acupuncture needles.

During this time, many neighbors gathered outside the clinic, and some came specifically to join in the fun.

Qin Mo's hands flew across the screen, and in less than half an hour, the old man, who had been in a daze, slowly woke up.

"My stomach... seems to be less painful now!"

The old woman stopped crying and started laughing, pulling Qin Mo to kneel down.

"Dr. Qin, you're truly a miracle doctor!"

"My daughter isn't around. If my old man were to pass away, I really wouldn't know what to do!"

Qin Mo quickly helped her up: "Auntie, I'm a doctor, this is what I should do."

"However, I just checked, and the reason why the old man's body is like this is because he took inappropriate drugs, and he took them for a long time, which led to acute liver failure."

"Could you tell me what the old man has been taking lately?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady quickly took out a beautifully packaged bottle from her bag.

"This is it!"

"This was bought for me by my son when he came back before the Lunar New Year. It cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"My husband has always had high blood pressure, and this health supplement is said to be able to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."

"Could it be... this?"

Qin Mo took it and immediately noticed the trademark on it—Shenzhou Pharmaceutical!
