Chapter 54

"Director, there are still some of the former doctors and nurses from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) department who want to come back. What do you think we should do?" Yu Meijing said awkwardly.

Those doctors had found her and even gave her some shopping cards. At the time, Mo Zhitao and Lin Xiaoyong had agreed that anyone entering the TCM department needed Mo Zhitao's approval. Now that the TCM department was doing well, those people were thinking of coming back.

"What do you think of their work? How many are there?" Mo Zhitao asked.

"They should be good, two doctors and two nurses," Yu Meijing replied.

Mo Zhitao said, "Alright, I'll leave it to you. But we have a deal: after one month, if they don't meet the standards, I can kick them out. Or we can deduct their bonuses; our TCM department awards bonuses based on the number of patients treated."

"Sure, no problem," Yu Meijing said with a smile.

She followed Mo Zhitao to see patients. Since he charged so much per visit, she also got a good bonus, and her working hours were not long. Thinking about this, Yu Meijing felt happy.

In the evening, Mo Zhitao also invited the four new colleagues to the Yinsa Hotel. He wanted to see how they were, especially the doctors. If they were not competent, it could harm patients and damage the reputation of the TCM department. This time, Yu Meijing asked Mo Zhitao to ride in her car, which made him a bit excited.

"Meijing, you're too good to me," Mo Zhitao said excitedly as he sat in the back seat. The fragrance from her body made him restless.

When Mo Zhitao's hand touched Yu Meijing's body, she nervously said, "Director, don't be inappropriate, or I'll call for help."

"Hehe, how could I be inappropriate? I'm not that kind of person," Mo Zhitao said awkwardly.

He had intended to take the opportunity to hug Yu Meijing, but she saw through his intentions.

"Hmph, you're not a person when you're being inappropriate," Yu Meijing muttered to herself.

"Director, those colleagues who are coming back are not bad. Don't look at them with prejudice. They know they were wrong now," the returning colleagues said. When they heard that Yu Meijing had helped solve their problem, each of them gave her a 500 yuan shopping card.

Mo Zhitao looked at Yu Meijing and said, "Meijing, why do you always speak up for them? Is there something going on?"

Mo Zhitao felt something was off; otherwise, Yu Meijing wouldn't have been so enthusiastic about inviting him to ride her motorcycle.

"No, nothing's going on. Let's go to the hotel," Yu Meijing said, afraid that Mo Zhitao would see through her. She quickly drove to the Yinsa Hotel.

The Yinsa Hotel was one of the landmark hotels in Macheng District, a three-star hotel with 28 floors, offering dining and lodging services.

In front of the hotel, there were two lions over two meters tall, giving it a grand appearance. It was said that the Yinsa Hotel was a chain hotel with branches in many places across the country, but Mo Zhitao didn't know who the boss was.

When Yu Meijing parked the car in the parking lot, Mo Zhitao saw a car stop in front of them. A man got out of the car; it was Hu Shaohua from the Tiesha Gang.

Seeing the beautiful Yu Meijing, Hu Shaohua's eyes lit up. He stared at her intently, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Cough," Mo Zhitao coughed to remind Hu Shaohua. The last time they tried to collect protection money from Lin Zhenqiang, Mo Zhitao had knocked him out from behind, so Hu Shaohua hadn't seen his face. Hu Shaohua realized his awkwardness and turned to walk towards the elevator.

"Hmph, pervert," Yu Meijing said, satisfied with her beauty, which always attracted men's attention.

"Exactly, if he looks at you again, I'll gouge out his eyes," Mo Zhitao said angrily.

"What does it matter to you if someone looks at me?" Yu Meijing rolled her eyes at Mo Zhitao.

Hu Shaohua went to the surveillance room of the Yinsa Hotel. The security guard saw him and quickly stood up, respectfully saying, "Brother Hua."

"Help me find out which private room this woman went to, and I want her information," Hu Shaohua said, pointing at Yu Meijing on the video.

It was rare to see such a beautiful woman; if he didn't get her, he would feel he was letting himself down.

"Brother Hua, they went to room 316. You can call the front desk to find out who booked it," the security guard said.

Hu Shaohua nodded and called the front desk. He soon found out that Yu Meijing and her group were from the District People's Hospital.

The Yinsa Hotel was a property of the Tiesha Gang, a large gang with members across the country. Hu Shaohua was the hall master of the Macheng branch. He often boasted about being the hall master to show off his power.

"Heh, just some doctors and nurses, nothing to worry about," Hu Shaohua said dismissively.

"Is Elder Shui available now?" The security guard was also a member of the Tiesha Gang, so he spoke freely.

The security guard shook his head and said, "No, Elder Shui has been in the presidential suite on the 28th floor and hasn't come out."

"Good, I'll go visit Elder Shui," Hu Shaohua said happily as he went up to the 28th floor.

Elder Shui was an elder of the Tiesha Gang, with even more power than the branch master. If he could win Elder Shui's favor, it would be very beneficial for him.

Hu Shaohua entered the presidential suite and saw Elder Shui sitting cross-legged, practicing his skills. He stood quietly beside him.

After about half an hour, Elder Shui opened his eyes.

"Hu Shaohua, is there something you need?" Elder Shui asked.

Hu Shaohua was responsible for coordinating matters in Macheng District for Elder Shui, so Elder Shui was quite polite to him.

"Elder Shui, I have nothing to report. I just came to visit you, Elder," Hu Shaohua said.

"Have you found any leads on the masked person who attacked me?" Elder Shui asked.

That day at Linhu, if not for the masked person's ambush, they would have obtained the Golden Dragon Snake. The Tiesha Gang had never suffered such a significant loss before; they were determined to find out who the attacker was and take revenge.

"Our branch master is investigating," Hu Shaohua said.

"Since we have limited clues, it's very difficult to find the masked person in Macheng District," Elder Shui said. He had only provided a rough age and the fact that the masked person was not young, making the search like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now, Elder Shui was having them investigate people in Macheng District who knew martial arts, checking them one by one.

"Elder Shui, I heard there are people from the TCM Sect in Macheng District. Do you know about this?" Elder Shui asked.

"The TCM Sect?" Hu Shaohua was taken aback. "I'm not very clear about this, Elder. I'll send people to investigate."

"The people from the TCM Sect are not easy to deal with. Please tell your branch master to be very careful," Elder Shui said.

He had been leading people to investigate Linhu but had not found any trace of the Golden Dragon Snake. The treasure might have been taken by the masked person that night.

Therefore, Elder Shui wanted to find the Golden Dragon Snake as soon as possible. Since the Golden Dragon Snake could not be used immediately and required some time, they needed to find the masked person first.

Hu Shaohua nodded. "I will definitely inform our branch master. It's a pity that my martial arts skills are not high, or I could have done more for you, Elder."

"How far have you progressed with the Iron Sand Palm?" Elder Shui asked.

"Only the first level," Hu Shaohua said, embarrassed.

"You should practice more and not waste your time on other things," Elder Shui said.

"I will teach you a technique called 'Opening the Sand and Splitting the Waves.' Without my permission, you cannot teach it to anyone else. It is a secret technique of our gang," Elder Shui said, his expression serious.

Hu Shaohua nodded excitedly. "Elder Shui, rest assured. I will work hard for you and find the masked person."

"Good," Elder Shui nodded and taught Hu Shaohua the technique "Opening the Sand and Splitting the Waves." Hu Shaohua learned it very diligently.

When Mo Zhitao returned home, he found the black-clothed man waiting for him.

"Senior, you're here," Mo Zhitao said.

"Yes, Mo Zhitao, someone might be paying attention to you. Be careful. Keep some of your medical skills hidden, and don't let others recognize your Yin-Yang Technique," the black-clothed man said.

"Qingmei City is no longer peaceful."

"I've been very careful. I haven't used my internal energy to treat anyone unless I trust them," Mo Zhitao nodded and said.

"Here are some books. Read them carefully. They contain a brief introduction to Chinese medicine over the years. These things can be found elsewhere and are not secrets, but they will help you understand medicine more comprehensively," the black-clothed man said.

"You mainly practice the treatment methods in the Yin-Yang Medical Canon, but you should also learn about other medical schools."

Mo Zhitao was secretly pleased. Although he had read many medical books in medical school, medicine is a field where learning never stops. Having more materials to study would be beneficial for him.

"Thank you, Senior," Mo Zhitao said.

"Do you need money now?" the black-clothed man suddenly asked.

"I have taken on some followers, so I need some money," Mo Zhitao said, surprised that the black-clothed man knew so much about him.

"You can take on followers, but you cannot teach them the martial arts I taught you. Only you can learn those skills. If I find out you've violated this rule, I will kill you," the black-clothed man warned. His voice was filled with menace, which startled Mo Zhitao.

"Senior, rest assured. I won't teach them the skills you taught me."

"If you need money, you can check the Medical Rankings, but you must hide your identity. The minimum consultation fee there is 100,000 yuan. With your skills, you can try taking a second-level case with a 1,000,000 yuan consultation fee," the black-clothed man said calmly.

"Medical Rankings?" Mo Zhitao asked curiously.

"What is it? I've never heard of it."

"Of course, with your previous skills, you wouldn't have heard of the Medical Rankings. It's not something ordinary people know about," the black-clothed man said, stopping as if he was thinking of something.
