"Does Old Mr. Han have something to ask of me?" Mo Wen looked at the elder with confusion. He had a good impression of this elder, but now that the patient's condition was under control, why was he still looking for him?

"Little Friend Mo Wen, I have come here to make your acquaintance. I am Han Jian Gong, a fellow scholar in the medical field. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me."

Han Jian Gong walked a few steps to Mo Wen and smiled politely.

"Mo Wen, it is a great honor to meet you, Old Mr. Han." Mo Wen smiled modestly. Being able to make connections with some of the old predecessors in the medical field was something he would not refuse.

"Haha, Little Friend Mo, you are too polite. If you don’t mind, just call me Old Brother Han. We are of the same generation. A gentleman’s friendship should be based on mutual respect. With your medical skills, even I have to admit my inferiority."

Han Jian Gong laughed heartily and waved his hand generously.

"Since Old Brother Han puts it this way, I will follow your lead."

Mo Wen was slightly taken aback but then smiled freely. He was a carefree person and did not care much about such formalities.

"Old Brother Mo, you are indeed a man of great spirit. I have some matters to attend to today, so I won’t disturb you. We must have a long talk another day."

As he spoke, Han Jian Gong took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to Mo Wen, and hurriedly walked back to the ward. After all, Old Mr. Yun’s condition had just stabilized, and there were still a series of follow-up examinations and treatments to be done, so he could not leave yet.

"Mo Wen, you are truly a person of mystery."

When Mo Wen walked out of the ward, Shen Jing also followed. She had been standing aside, waiting, and did not interrupt when she saw Old Mr. Han talking to Mo Wen.

"Not really, it’s just that the traditional medical techniques passed down in my family happen to have a method to treat this condition."

Mo Wen smiled calmly.

"Who would believe you?"

Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen, not believing his words for a moment. She was a doctor herself and was not so easily fooled. However, she did not press further, as everyone has their secrets, and she did not want to be the kind of woman who pries into others' affairs.

At this point, there was not much for the two of them to do at the hospital, and Old Mr. Pan could not leave due to Old Mr. Yun’s ongoing treatment.

When the two walked out of the hospital, it was already dusk, and only a dim sunset could be seen on the horizon.

"Mo Wen, where do you live? I can give you a ride."

Shen Jing drove her not-too-flashy Audi A8 from the parking lot, stopped in front of Mo Wen, and smiled as she rolled down the window.

"No need, I can go back on my own." Mo Wen shook his head.

"Then I’ll be off."

Shen Jing glanced at Mo Wen sideways and drove away in a huff. Who knew how many people would love to get a ride from her, yet Mo Wen did not even appreciate it.

Watching the car drive away, Mo Wen smiled bitterly. Where did he have a home? After leaving the construction site, he had nowhere to stay. In the vast city of Jingdu, with its vibrant life, there was no place for him.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the dim sky, feeling the absurdity of fate. If he had not regained his memories from his past life, what kind of person would he be now?

"Big Brother Mo, wait!"

Mo Wen had not walked far when a clear voice called out from behind. The next moment, a slender figure rushed to him like the wind.

Yun Xiaoman was out of breath, her face flushed, and she could not speak for a while.

She had been so happy when her grandfather’s condition improved that she almost fainted. Her attention was naturally on her grandfather. But when she turned around, she realized Mo Wen was gone, and she rushed out immediately.

Running down from the 10th floor of the hospital, she was exhausted.

"Is there something you need?"

Mo Wen looked at the cute girl in front of him, puzzled.

Seeing Yun Xiaoman run out of the hospital, Mo Wen took a good look at her. She had been sitting and crying earlier, but now he noticed how beautiful she was.

Yun Xiaoman was not short, about 165 cm tall, her nose almost level with Mo Wen’s. She wore a beautiful light blue dress that reached her knees, revealing her lotus-like, tender legs, and a pair of cute white shoes.

Although her body was not as mature as Lin Qing’s or Shen Jing’s, her slightly youthful figure exuded a sweet, youthful fragrance.

"Big Brother Mo, thank you for saving my grandfather."

Yun Xiaoman wiped her eyes, finally stopping the tears.

"It was just a small effort. Besides, I couldn’t really save your grandfather; I just managed to suppress his condition temporarily."

Mo Wen shrugged. In his past life as a renowned doctor, he had saved countless patients, so suppressing Old Mr. Yun’s condition was not a big deal.

"Big Brother Mo, my grandfather..."

Yun Xiaoman looked at Mo Wen with pure eyes, and tears uncontrollably fell again. She thought her grandfather was cured, but Mo Wen’s words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

"I can’t do anything more..."

Mo Wen said helplessly, cursing himself for speaking too much. Why did he have to bring it up?

"Do you know who can save my grandfather?"

Yun Xiaoman looked at Mo Wen hopefully. To her, Mo Wen was a mysterious expert. If so many skilled doctors could not cure her grandfather, why could Mo Wen? Perhaps Mo Wen knew who could save her grandfather.

"I don’t know."

Mo Wen spoke honestly. With his current knowledge, he had no idea who could cure her grandfather. If he had to say, only he himself could, but he did not have the ability now.

Maybe after entering Huaxia University and learning the medical knowledge of this world, he could integrate it with his knowledge from the other world and easily cure her grandfather’s condition.

But he would not say that, as it was just a guess, and whether it would work was still unknown.

Hearing this, Yun Xiaoman lowered her head in disappointment, sobbing softly, standing dumbly in front of Mo Wen, neither leaving nor speaking.

Looking at the pitiful girl, Mo Wen felt a pang of sympathy. What a mess.

"Although I can’t cure your grandfather now, maybe I can in the future."

Mo Wen said helplessly.

"Really?"

Yun Xiaoman lifted her head, her big eyes wide with hope.

"Maybe."

Mo Wen’s words, though vague, gave Yun Xiaoman a boost of hope, and her mood improved significantly.

"When can you save my grandfather, Big Brother Mo?"

Yun Xiaoman looked at Mo Wen eagerly.

Mo Wen’s mouth twitched, and after a long pause, he said helplessly, "It might not take long, or it might take some time."

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen. If your grandfather’s condition worsens again, come to me. I can still suppress it a few more times."

To avoid Yun Xiaoman’s persistent questioning, Mo Wen reluctantly said something he did not really mean. The acupuncture technique could suppress the Purple Blue Flower poison, but each suppression would make the poison more severe, and he did not know how many times he could do it.

As for completely curing the Purple Blue Flower poison, that was also uncertain. Who knew if he could solve Yun Xiaoman’s grandfather’s problem?

"Really! Big Brother Mo, you are such a good person."

Yun Xiaoman smiled at Mo Wen, her eyes filled with gratitude, and her mood seemed to improve significantly.

Honored to receive a "good person" card, Mo Wen could only smile awkwardly.

"Why don’t you go back? Shouldn’t you go up to take care of your grandfather?"

Mo Wen said helplessly, seeing that Yun Xiaoman had not left and was still standing in front of him, blocking his way.

"Big Brother Mo, you haven’t given me your contact information." Yun Xiaoman blinked her eyes.

"Contact information?"

Mo Wen laughed dryly and hesitantly gave her a QQ number. It was a number a classmate had applied for him in high school, which he rarely used. Given his circumstances, he had no time to chat online.

Apart from that, he had no other contact information. He had no phone, no place to stay, just a few simple clothes and a bit of savings to get by. In the 21st century, few people in a big city would be as poor as he was.

"Alright, Big Brother Mo, I’ll go back to take care of my grandfather."

Seeing that Mo Wen only gave her a QQ number and not a phone number, Yun Xiaoman was a bit disappointed. But she was not an unreasonable girl. After saying goodbye to Mo Wen, she gave him a smile and quietly walked back to the hospital.
