"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving." Mo Zhitao smiled and stood up. "You're Lei Yuanfeng, right? Being Luo Dakan's lackey won't end well for you, so be careful."

Lei Yuanfeng said angrily, "You can't leave, I need to make a call to confirm."

Lei Yuanfeng called Chen Dachao to verify that the thug's foot was fine. Then he received a call from a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who inquired about Mo Zhitao's case.

Lei Yuanfeng understood that Mo Zhitao must have sought help from the deputy director.

Since there wasn't enough evidence, Lei Yuanfeng had no choice but to let Mo Zhitao go. When Mo Zhitao walked out of the Public Security Bureau, he saw Shen Hua standing next to a Mercedes-Benz, looking at him.

"Boss Shen, what are you doing here? Didn't you go back to the city?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"Zhitao, we're friends. If you're in trouble, I definitely have to come and see you," Shen Hua said with a smile.

This morning, he had another three-way. He trusted Mo Zhitao's medical skills. A person like Mo Zhitao, if he could be a friend, would be a great fortune in his life.

A good doctor can get a lot of things. Life is the most important. If a person doesn't have a life, no matter how much money they have, it's useless. So, Shen Hua believed that Mo Zhitao would definitely be a powerful person in the future, and he wanted to be friends with Mo Zhitao.

"Just now, I called a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to coordinate your matter. I didn't expect you to come out so soon."

"Thanks, Brother Hua." Mo Zhitao understood. No wonder Lei Yuanfeng let him go after receiving a call from a director.

It seems that in this world, having connections and not having connections are different. Since Shen Hua helped him like this, it wouldn't be right not to consider him a friend. Moreover, he still wanted to take revenge and needed Shen Hua's help.

"Brother Hua, when you're free, I'll treat you to a meal."

"How about lunch? You pick the place, and I'll pay," Shen Hua said.

He now felt that Mo Zhitao considered him a friend, and he also wanted to be friends with Mo Zhitao.

Mo Zhitao said, "Let's go to the hotel. I'll give you a prescription at noon. If you take it three times a month, it will definitely make you a man among men, at least for over half an hour."

"Really? Zhitao, is it that powerful? Will there be any side effects?" Shen Hua swallowed his saliva excitedly. He was into this. He couldn't sleep without playing with women every day. But his body had been weak for the past two years, which was embarrassing.

"No, the prescription I give you has no side effects," Mo Zhitao said confidently.

After agreeing on the time with Shen Hua, Mo Zhitao called Li Xiong. Li Xiong now hated Mo Zhitao the most. He was always worried about incontinence, which made him very miserable. Since Mo Zhitao had something to ask Li Xiong, Li Xiong didn't dare to let Mo Zhitao come to the police station. He booked a room in a teahouse across the street.

When Li Xiong saw Mo Zhitao, he stepped forward and said, "Doctor Mo, you're here. I had an episode this morning. I was in a meeting, and it was very embarrassing. If this continues, I won't be able to be the chief of the police station."

Although it only happened once a day, frequent episodes would quickly make him a laughingstock in the Public Security Bureau.

"Li Xiong, I can help you cure this disease. You might have a serious stomach problem, which I can also cure, but you need to help me with something," Mo Zhitao said, looking at Li Xiong.

"Doctor Mo, just say it. I'll do what I can," Li Xiong said.

His stomach problem had been bothering him for a long time, and he hadn't found a cure despite seeing many doctors.

Mo Zhitao said, "Do you remember the car accident in your jurisdiction a while ago?"

"Which one?" Li Xiong asked. There had been several car accidents in their jurisdiction recently.

"The one involving Cheng Zhifeng's BMW," Mo Zhitao said.

"Oh, that one. It happened in our jurisdiction," Li Xiong recalled. "When we arrived, the car was almost burned out, and the person was dead. We originally wanted to hand it over to the traffic police, but the district Public Security Bureau said it was a Cheng family matter and couldn't be taken lightly, so they assigned it to the district Public Security Bureau."

Mo Zhitao's heart stirred. Such an accident could have been handled by the local police station. Why did the district Public Security Bureau get involved?

"Who was in charge of the case?"

"Lei Yuanfeng was in charge," Li Xiong said with a bitter smile.

He used to follow Lei Yuanfeng, but now that this had happened, Lei Yuanfeng considered him a traitor and wouldn't promote him.

"Lei Yuanfeng?" Mo Zhitao frowned.

Lei Yuanfeng must have taken over the case at someone else's behest. Who was it? Cheng Hai? Luo Dakan? Or someone else?

"Li Xiong, do you think there were any suspicious points in the accident? Could it have been a murder?"

"Later, I read some reports. From the scene, it looked like the driver crashed the car himself. He was driving too fast, so the tragedy was inevitable," Li Xiong said.

He was a bit puzzled why Mo Zhitao was asking about this, but he didn't dare to say it.

Seeing Li Xiong's suspicion, Mo Zhitao smiled and said, "Li Xiong, a friend of mine asked me to investigate. He thinks Cheng Zhifeng's death is suspicious. The car's performance was excellent, so how could the driver die? He was a friend of the driver."

"It might be hard to investigate now. The car was burned beyond recognition, and the case was assigned to Lei Yuanfeng. Now that Lei Yuanfeng doesn't like me, it's hard for me to investigate," Li Xiong said with a bitter face.

"Help me investigate secretly. I don't need to know the results immediately. See if you can find any suspicious points. If you have any news, I'll reward you generously," Mo Zhitao said.

"Doctor Mo, if you can cure my disease, I'll be very grateful," Li Xiong said.

Mo Zhitao nodded and took out his needles, pricking several acupoints on Li Xiong. Li Xiong felt a sharp pain, followed by a sense of relief.

"Li Xiong, your incontinence won't happen again. As for your stomach problem, I'll give you a prescription. Take it for seven days, and the effect will be noticeable. If you still have stomach pain, take it for another seven days."

"Thank you, Doctor Mo," Li Xiong said gratefully, taking the prescription.

"Alright, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Mo Zhitao stood up. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned and looked at Li Xiong. "Li Xiong, you won't think that I cured your disease and you don't need to help me, right?"

"No, no, how could I be such a person?" Li Xiong waved his hands hurriedly.

Mo Zhitao smiled and said, "I hope you keep your promise and help me with some things. Otherwise, you'll have the disease again in a year, and I won't help you then. Li Xiong, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Another episode in a year? Li Xiong hesitated. Although Mo Zhitao said it was a joke, he didn't dare to take the risk. If he didn't help Mo Zhitao investigate, and he really had the disease again in a year, he would be in trouble.

Damn, if I knew, I wouldn't have gotten involved. Li Xiong had his own sources of information. He heard that Lei Yuanfeng was investigating Mo Zhitao, but Mo Zhitao came out of the Public Security Bureau after a short time, indicating that Mo Zhitao wasn't an ordinary person.

At noon in a private room at Macheng Hotel, only Shen Hua was there. Shi Qianzhi had taken Shen Hua's lover back to the city.

After Mo Zhitao arrived and heard Shen Hua's explanation, he couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Hua, you're really impressive, with two women at once."

"Hehe, a man who doesn't enjoy life when young is a waste. Besides, I've made some money, and it's not good to keep it all to myself," Shen Hua said with a smile.

"What business are you in, Brother Hua?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"I used to do steel business, but it's not good now. I'm planning to change industries."

Shen Hua looked at Mo Zhitao, "Zhitao, I want to start a pharmaceutical factory. Are you interested?"

Mo Zhitao was taken aback, "Start a pharmaceutical factory? I don't have money, so being interested is useless."

"Zhitao, I've thought about it. If the prescription you gave me is produced as a virility drug, the market will be very good. Which man doesn't want to be better in that aspect, and your drug has no side effects," Shen Hua began to explain his idea, which was also the reason he had been good to Mo Zhitao. "If you have any other good prescriptions, you can give them to me for production. You can join as a technical partner, how about that?"

"Is that so." Mo Zhitao's heart stirred. He was also thinking about the benefits of having money. Without money and power, he couldn't investigate his own death. Shen Hua seemed a bit cunning, but that's how businessmen are. Letting him join as a technical partner was very attractive.

"Brother Hua, how much are you planning to invest? I can give you some prescriptions, even for common colds. But I'm thinking of giving you some main prescriptions, like the virility drug, a wound-healing drug, and a special cough and asthma treatment."

Since those prescriptions were already public, he was thinking of using them to make money.

"Great, Zhitao. I plan to invest ten million to start a small pharmaceutical factory. Once we make money, we'll expand. I have connections for applying for licenses and drug inspections. We'll split the profits fifty-fifty, how about that?" Shen Hua said excitedly. A pharmaceutical factory can only make money like a river if it produces effective drugs. From the past few days, Shen Hua believed in Mo Zhitao's abilities.

Mo Zhitao nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Hua. I'll give you some prescriptions, and I'll also improve the virility drug."

"Good, I'll have my secretary bring the contract over to sign with you. Write the prescriptions now." Shen Hua was quick to act, making the call while they ate.

After eating, Mo Zhitao asked the waiter for some paper. After thinking for a moment, he wrote down over twenty prescriptions, including some powerful ones from the Yin-Yang Medical Canon, which were very effective.

Of course, Mo Zhitao adjusted one or two ingredients to make the effects less immediate, to avoid scaring people.
