Mozhitao kept looking at Cheng Hai, hoping to read something from his face. However, he was disappointed; Cheng Hai appeared completely normal, showing no signs of panic or distress. "I met Zhifeng when I went to the provincial medical college. His medical skills were also quite good. I didn't expect him to die so early. Who killed him?" Mozhitao asked again.
"Director Mo, you don't know, Zhifeng had an accident because he was driving too fast. Sigh, I told him before to drive more slowly," Cheng Hai's face showed sorrow.
Did you ever tell me to drive more slowly? Mozhitao thought to himself. At the time, Cheng Hai told him that his BMW had excellent performance and that even in a collision, no one would die. Now Cheng Hai was saying this. However, Mozhitao did not expose Cheng Hai's lie, as he could not speak for Cheng Zhifeng's body.
"Oh, I see. Can I visit Zhifeng's room when I have time? He was very kind to us before, and he often invited us to his house," Mozhitao looked at Cheng Hai.
Cheng Hai nodded and said, "Of course, why not? By the way, Director Mo, have you heard of a friend of Zhifeng's surnamed Li?" Cheng Hai remembered that someone had come to Cheng's house looking for Cheng Zhifeng, saying he was surnamed Li. He had someone check in the provincial city, but found nothing.
"Surnamed Li, what's his name, and what does he look like?" Mozhitao had not expected Cheng Hai to remember the time he went to Cheng's house. "Zhifeng was very hospitable. Sometimes when we attended academic discussions, he often invited us to dinner."
Mozhitao was not lying. In the past, when he had money, he often treated his classmates and friends to meals. Xiao Rufeng, due to his poor family background, often received his help. Thinking of Xiao Rufeng, Mozhitao became angry. He decided to find a time to go to the provincial city and settle accounts with Xiao Rufeng.
"Someone came to Cheng's house a while ago looking for Zhifeng, saying he was Zhifeng's friend. So I'm asking if you know him," Cheng Hai glanced at Mozhitao. At the time, Mozhitao was wearing glasses and had disguised himself, so Cheng Hai felt that Mozhitao did not look like that person.
"Oh, I see," Mozhitao said. "Mr. Cheng, I'll visit your house when I have time. Everyone, I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."
Wang Zhongqiao said, "Wait, Director Mo, I want to ask you, is there any problem with the two patients tonight? What's wrong with their illnesses? Were Xiong Zhengkai and Chen Wentian's diagnoses incorrect?" Wang Zhongqiao mentioned the main reason for inviting Mozhitao.
Mozhitao shook his head and said, "I reviewed the diagnoses and treatments of the two patients, and there were no problems."
"Then why did this happen?" Luo Baoshou asked, unwilling to let it go.
"The first patient mistakenly consumed a beverage that conflicted with his stomach condition, and the second patient had a minor issue with an acupuncture point," Mozhitao did not want to elaborate on the second patient's condition. He also had doubts in his mind. It was too coincidental that two renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners had problems on the same night.
Mozhitao heard from Shen Hua that the banquet had invited two renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and both had issues. If he had not resolved the crisis, traditional Chinese medicine's reputation would have been damaged. What was going on? Was someone targeting traditional Chinese medicine, or was it just a coincidence?
"Oh, Director Mo, what do you think happened tonight?" Luo Baoshou wanted to ask Mozhitao again.
Mozhitao became angry, "Mr. Luo, I am just a doctor, not a police officer. If you suspect there's a problem with tonight's events, you can call the police to investigate. What's the point of asking me?" Luo Baoshou was speechless after being rebuked by Mozhitao. "I'm leaving," Mozhitao did not want to talk to these people any longer.
"Alright, Mengxin, help me see Director Mo off," Wang Zhongqiao said to Wang Mengxin. He now knew that Mozhitao's medical skills were impressive, and he was looking forward to the detoxification formula Mozhitao held. If it really worked, the Wang Group would surely improve. He wanted Wang Mengxin to build a good relationship with Mozhitao.
However, Luo Baoshou was furious. Was Wang Zhongqiao trying to marry off Wang Mengxin to multiple men? He had already promised Wang Mengxin to his son, but now he was letting Wang Mengxin charm Mozhitao. All three of them were surprised by Mozhitao's medical skills, as Chen Wentian and Xiong Zhengkai were well-known and not just famous for nothing. The illnesses they could not solve were resolved by Mozhitao, and his reputation in Qingmei City would soon rise.
Shen Hua did not come out. He was discussing the new drug with Wang Zhongqiao.
Wang Mengxin accompanied Mozhitao out, "Director Mo, it's so late, are you going back to Macheng District? We have booked a room here, you can stay here."
"Ah, I can't sleep alone, and you're not staying with me," Mozhitao said while looking at Wang Mengxin.
"Director Mo, you really know how to joke," Wang Mengxin was already used to Mozhitao's teasing, and she often encountered such situations. It wasn't that she looked down on Mozhitao, but he wasn't the type of man she liked.
"Mengxin, I'm serious. Do you have time tonight? Let's talk in bed," Mozhitao looked at Wang Mengxin's chest, which was beautiful tonight. Her devilish figure and dignified face made her even more attractive to men. This was what made Wang Mengxin different from other women. As a deputy director of the health bureau, such a beautiful woman in the political arena was very appealing to men.
Wang Mengxin glared at Mozhitao and said angrily, "Alright, if you keep making such jokes, I'll get angry."
"Okay, I won't say it. I'll leave, alright?" Mozhitao knew that women like Wang Mengxin couldn't be teased too much. She was different from Yu Meijing.
Seeing that Shen Hua had not come out, Mozhitao went to the hall to wait for him. Li Bin and Shi Qianzhi were standing there talking quietly. When they saw Mozhitao, they hurried over. "Brother Mo, where's our boss?" Shi Qianzhi asked.
"He's still talking with others. He should be out soon," Mozhitao said. Shen Hua had only given some materials to Wang Zhongqiao. If they were interested, they would contact Shen Hua the next day.
Sure enough, not long after, Shen Hua came out smiling. "Zhitao, they are very interested in our drugs and want to cooperate with us."
"Brother Hua, I'm going back. How about you?" Mozhitao asked Shen Hua.
"Hehe, brother, don't go back. I called a female college student for you to play with. I'll call them over," Shen Hua waved to the side, and soon three beautiful women came over.
At the beginning of the banquet, Shen Hua had already introduced these three girls to him. They were female students from Qingmei University, who often came to accompany drinking and sleeping, but the price was very high. Mozhitao had no interest in such women.
"Brother Hua, you play, I'll go back," Mozhitao shook his head.
"Damn, brother, you can't be like this," Shen Hua pulled Mozhitao aside and said, "I planned to let you play with one tonight, and I'll play with two. If you go back, I'll have to play with three tonight. Won't I be too tired to get up tomorrow?" Shen Hua was a bit worried about his health. His body had just been treated by Mozhitao, and he couldn't play with too many women in one night, at most two.
Mozhitao said, "Brother Hua, take care of your health. If you keep playing like this every night, your body will be as bad as before."
"Ah, a man who doesn't enjoy life isn't a real man," Shen Hua smiled, "I want to enjoy life. If I wait ten more years, I won't be able to enjoy it anymore."
"Brother Hua, are you married?" Mozhitao suddenly asked.
When Shen Hua heard this, his face changed immediately. "Zhitao, what are women? They are just passing clouds. They only care about the money in your pocket. As long as you have money, can't you find any woman you want? Damn, if I don't give those female students money, will they play with me? Will they let me do whatever I want?"
Mozhitao said embarrassedly, "Brother Hua, you play, I'll go." He felt that Shen Hua might have been hurt in a relationship before, which was why he often changed women.
"Alright, everyone has their own path. Go ahead," Shen Hua nodded.
Mozhitao left with Li Bin. After getting in the car, Li Bin asked Mozhitao, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Li Bin, we're brothers, call me Brother Mo. I'm going back to Macheng District," Mozhitao said.
"Okay," Li Bin nodded and drove towards Macheng.
Just as Mozhitao and Li Bin left the first-floor hall, a man stood by the window in a room upstairs, watching them leave. "Boss, Mozhitao and his group have left," the man quickly took out his phone and made a call.
"Okay, I've already arranged for people to prepare. Those who disrupt our plans will not have a good end," a sinister voice came from the phone.
"Damn, it was almost successful, but I didn't expect Mozhitao to step in and help them. He has some skills, and he actually figured out the problem and cured the patients," the man said angrily.
"This Mozhitao is not simple. I'll have someone keep an eye on him," the boss said. "You can do some things tomorrow. Although Mozhitao helped Xiong Zhengkai and Chen Wentian tonight, their reputations will be greatly damaged. You can help Mozhitao and boost his reputation, thereby damaging Xiong Zhengkai and Chen Wentian. They will surely hate Mozhitao."
The man's eyes lit up. Damn, the boss is the boss, he knows how to use such tactics to make the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners fight each other, which is better than doing it ourselves. "Yes, boss, Chen Wentian is always petty and can't tolerate others. I'll focus on him."
"Okay, be bold. You are responsible for Qingmei City, but your progress has been slow recently. If it continues like this, you'll have to take care of yourself," the boss's voice became even colder.
The man shivered, knowing the boss's power. If the boss abandoned him, he would not survive. "Boss, rest assured, I will complete the task," the man said fearfully.
