Chapter 45

"Boss, don't misunderstand. I am now observing your condition. I have already given you acupuncture, and your body will soon feel changes. You might feel a bit of pain for a while. I have pressed your acupoints, so you can't speak for now. I am just holding your hand, don't get too excited." Mo Zhitao said while slowly channeling his internal energy into the woman's body.

Hearing Mo Zhitao's words, the woman calmed down. He was just holding her hand and hadn't done anything excessive.

At first, the woman didn't feel anything, but after a while, she felt her body getting warm.

Mo Zhitao closed his eyes and could now sense the yin and yang in the woman's body.

The woman's body was almost entirely filled with black qi, with only a small part being red qi. The black qi was consuming the red qi, which was resisting stubbornly, possibly due to the detox pill he had given her earlier.

However, there was too much black qi in the woman's body. The detox pill could only maintain the red qi for a while. Once its effects wore off, the red qi would be consumed by the black qi again, and the woman would eventually die from the poison.

Mo Zhitao used the Yin-Yang Technique to enter the woman's body and used his true qi to drive away the black qi. Again and again, the woman felt very hot and uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes. She didn't see that Mo Zhitao's face was turning red, eventually looking like Guan Yu.

When Mo Zhitao had driven away half of the black qi, he withdrew his internal energy.

This was the first time he had used his internal energy to treat someone, and he felt a bit tired. His clothes were drenched in sweat. He let go of the woman's hand and then used a needle to prick her a few times.

"Boss, you can speak now. How do you feel?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"Doctor, I don't feel numb anymore, and my head isn't dizzy or nauseous," the woman said happily.

"Good, the poison is basically cleared." Mo Zhitao nodded and looked at the woman's chest. "I feel that the bite might be on your chest. You can check it in the mirror when you get home."

When Mo Zhitao was trying to balance the yin and yang in the woman's body, he noticed that the black qi, or yin qi, was constantly surging from her chest, which was likely where she was bitten.

It was strange that such a sensitive area could be bitten without her feeling it. Mo Zhitao was puzzled.

"Ah." The woman blushed when she saw Mo Zhitao staring at her chest.

She wanted to get angry at Mo Zhitao, but she remembered that he had just treated her, so she held back her anger.

If she didn't find any marks on her chest when she got home, she would come back to settle the score with Mo Zhitao. She thought he was a pervert for staring at her chest like that.

"Doctor, here is an additional 100,000 yuan." The woman handed Mo Zhitao a check for 100,000 yuan.

Mo Zhitao didn't hesitate and took the check, then opened the door and walked out. Yu Meijing saw that Mo Zhitao was drenched in sweat and quickly handed him a towel. "Director, here, to wipe your sweat."

Mo Zhitao took the towel and wiped his sweat. He seemed to be used to this kind of care. Every time he treated a serious patient and was very tired, Yu Meijing would give him a towel.

Mo Zhitao sat back in his chair and said, "Boss, I will now write you a prescription, and you should take another detox pill tonight."

As he spoke, Mo Zhitao took another detox pill from his bag.

The woman saw that Mo Zhitao had quite a few pills in his bag and was thinking about it. Wang Mengxin said, "Doctor Mo, is it safe to leave these medicines here? They must be very expensive, right?"

"Hehe, it's not a matter of safety. The pills I make are all similar in appearance. If not me, others wouldn't know which are detox pills, which are other pills, or which are poisons." Mo Zhitao noticed the greed in the woman's eyes. The cost of these pills was only a few thousand yuan, but after his adjustments, they were different.

"Doctor, you gave our boss two detox pills. How much do they cost?" the bodyguard asked curiously.

"One pill costs 10,000 yuan," Mo Zhitao said with a smile.

One pill costs 10,000 yuan? Yu Meijing gasped. She had seen that Mo Zhitao had at least a hundred pills in his bag, which meant there were over a million yuan in there. No wonder Mo Zhitao had treated her to a Western meal that cost over 10,000 yuan yesterday. He was so rich; she should have asked for more.

Wang Mengxin said, "Doctor Mo, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

She was reminding Mo Zhitao that the pills were very expensive and that he was in danger.

Mo Zhitao shook his head. "It wouldn't do them any good if they stole them."

He took out a pill similar to the one he gave the woman. "This pill is a supplement. If the boss takes it now, not only will the poison not be eliminated, but it will also worsen her condition, and she will die from the poison in three hours."

"Ah." The woman was startled. "That's so scary."

"Yes, different illnesses require different medicines. If you take them randomly, you will only harm yourself," Mo Zhitao said with a smile.

"So I'm not afraid of others stealing my medicine. It wouldn't do them any good."

"Doctor Mo, I heard you say that you have poisons in your bag? This is not a joke. The police will come after you," Wang Mengxin said.

Mo Zhitao said, "Director Wang, all medicines have some toxicity. It's hard to define whether a medicine is a poison. If you take any of my pills for testing, you won't find any poison, but the effects can vary depending on the time, the person, and the illness. Boss, the poison in your body is basically gone. If you have any other problems, call me." Mo Zhitao gave the woman his phone number.

The woman had the bodyguard pay another 90,000 yuan, and then they left. Yu Meijing was delighted to see that Mo Zhitao had earned 100,000 yuan in one go. She wondered how much their salary and bonus would be at the end of the month.

"Doctor Mo, it's noon. I should go," Wang Mengxin said to Mo Zhitao.

"Director Wang, let me treat you to lunch," Mo Zhitao said.

Wang Mengxin glanced at Yu Meijing and said, "Would that be appropriate?"

"It's fine. Let's go now. Where do you want to eat? You choose, and I'll pay," Mo Zhitao said, pretending to be interested in pursuing Wang Mengxin.

"Hehe, then let's go to Macheng Hotel. We should contribute to Macheng," Wang Mengxin said.

It was a subsidiary of the Macheng District government, and they usually went there for official meals.

"Director Wang, do you have a car? I don't have one," Mo Zhitao said.

"I have a car. I'll drive you," Wang Mengxin said.

Yu Meijing watched as Wang Mengxin and Mo Zhitao left, and she couldn't help but get angry. "Hmph, Mo Zhitao, you can't even afford a car. Do you think you can pursue Wang Mengxin? Dream on. You said you would treat me to a meal, but now you're treating other beauties instead of me."

Yu Meijing got angrier the more she thought about it.

At Macheng Hotel, Wang Mengxin easily booked a small private room. Just as she was about to order, Mo Zhitao had already ordered a few dishes that Wang Mengxin used to like.

"Doctor Mo, how did you know I like these dishes?" Wang Mengxin was surprised.

"Hehe, if I want to pursue you, I have to know you well, right?" Mo Zhitao smiled.

He had eaten with Wang Mengxin before and knew what she liked.

"Also, I am now the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. You can call me Zhitao or Director."

"Oh, then I'll call you Director," Wang Mengxin said.

She knew that Mo Zhitao had given himself the title. If he were the director of the People's Hospital, it would have to be approved by the Health Bureau, and she would have known about it.

"What about my rival? The one who came to the People's Hospital in a Mercedes-Benz?"

"His name is probably Luo Dakang."

Wang Mengxin said seriously, "Director Mo, don't joke around. There's no future between us. You don't need to cause trouble for yourself."

"What's wrong? Can't I like you and pursue you?" Mo Zhitao looked at Wang Mengxin and smiled.

"Hmph, Wang Mengxin, you are going to be my wife. Now that I'm dead, you've turned to Luo Dakang. I can't let that happen. It's a shame Luo Dakang isn't here today; otherwise, I would have made him explode with anger."

"Do you know my background? Do you think you are a match for me?" Wang Mengxin looked at Mo Zhitao without backing down.

Mo Zhitao said, "I don't know your background, but I think I am definitely a match for you. Haven't you heard people call me a divine doctor? My medical skills are so powerful that being your boyfriend is not a problem."

Wang Mengxin stared at Mo Zhitao for a while. "Director Mo, I don't know what your intentions are, but I feel like you are targeting Luo Dakang. Are you trying to use me to provoke him? Do you have a grudge against him?"

Wang Mengxin's gaze was sharp, as if she could see through Mo Zhitao's heart.

Mo Zhitao was secretly alarmed by Wang Mengxin's words. He hadn't expected her to be so smart and to see through his intentions.

Thinking about this, he smiled and said, "Mengxin, I won't hide it from you. I liked you the first time I saw you and wanted to pursue you. But I didn't expect Luo Dakang to be such a coward and not compete with me. He had people attack me in the dark. If I hadn't been lucky, they would have killed me."

"What? Luo Dakang had people attack you?" Wang Mengxin was surprised. "What exactly happened?"

"It's not a big deal. He had some thugs beat me up and then bribed the police to deal with me," Mo Zhitao said casually.

Since Wang Mengxin suspected his motives, he decided to mix truth with lies.
