Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 146 No Time to Explain, Get in the Car
"Senior Brother Fan, I'm so sorry to bother you again. Are you free after get off work tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."

At the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Lin Mo handed a bottle of water to Fan Peng and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, 'It's not right to use connections if you don't have them.' He's already come to the hospital, so naturally he'll try to find connections."

Putting everything else aside, at least he can pick out the best medicinal herbs, and he can also help out when it comes to decocting medicine.

"Hey, why bring this up? Don't be so formal. Besides, I wasn't really that helpful. I just mentioned it briefly. But forget about dinner, I have to work tonight and can't go out."

"Let's do it another day. I'll treat you another day, senior brother. I just saw the news about you saving someone online these past few days. Senior brother Pan is still talking about you. How about we go visit Senior brother Pan's rehabilitation department later?" Fan Peng said with a smile, clearly very close to his junior brother.

Firstly, the two are close in age, and secondly, they were taught by the same master. He was even thinking that someone could share the burden for him in the future. The two were simply natural allies, brothers in the same trench. Who else would he be close to if not him?

"Let's forget about it. Senior Brother Pan is so busy, why bother him with such a small matter? I just went to visit my teacher today and took the opportunity to take care of my health," Lin Mo said, waving his hand.

To be honest, compared to Senior Brother Pan, who was also skilled in massage and bone setting, he preferred to be closer to this unreliable Senior Brother Fan. After all, the two were not that far apart in age. Senior Brother Pan was almost the same age as his parents, so what was there to say?

Upon hearing that Lin Mo actually dared to visit the teacher's house today, Fan Peng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. To be honest, not only him, but even senior brothers and sisters like Senior Brother Pan wouldn't dare to visit the teacher normally.

When faced with a difficult case, it's one thing to call someone over and get scolded, but who would go looking for a scolding? He's in the hospital now, and every time he hears a teacher call his name, his legs tremble.

This made him want to specialize in massage like his senior brother Pan. At least his teacher wasn't good at massage, so he couldn't be scolded. Senior brother Pan was the most successful example.

"Junior brother, you're something else! Even Senior Brother Pan doesn't dare to go to our teacher's house. I admire you!" Fan Peng said with a thumbs up.

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Seeing his expression, Fan Peng knew that his junior brother was still in the learning stage and hadn't experienced the harsh treatment from his teacher yet. He then picked up the prescription in his hand and whispered:

"Junior brother, your two classmates are quite weak. One has kidney yin deficiency and the other has kidney yang deficiency. Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, I can treat this kind of minor problem. Next time you have this kind of minor problem, just bring your people and come to me directly."

If all else fails, I can give them a couple of acupuncture treatments!

Hearing this, Lin Mo slowly took a step back and chuckled dryly, "Next time, let's talk about it next time. They might not be so lucky."

"What good fortune? Junior brother, your friend is my friend too. In the future, if you have any pain, fever, frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, trigeminal neuralgia or anything like that, just bring me here. I'll give you a couple of acupuncture treatments, and I guarantee it will cure you instantly," Fan Peng said, patting his junior brother on the shoulder and starting his persuasive mode.

Just then, a middle-aged woman in a nurse's uniform rushed out, wielding a leg bone club, and roared from afar:

"Fan Peng, are you planning to have the patient use those 500 bottles of saline solution for bathing?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Peng took off running without saying a word, patting him on the shoulder as he left to indicate that he was alright and could handle it.

Then I saw the nurse carrying a leg bone stick chasing after me up to the second floor.

Lin Mo:
Meanwhile, Wang and Chuanmei, who were standing not far away, were completely dumbfounded. They never expected that their roommate would have connections everywhere, even going to the hospital to find someone, and the person she asked was a senior student. The two of them began to doubt whether they were even computer science majors anymore.

"Hey? Old Mo, why did your senior brother run away?" Director Wang asked.

Lin Mo glanced at him upon hearing this: "Call me Your Majesty!"

"Seriously, Lao Mo, is this also Professor Li's apprentice?" Chuan Mei exclaimed.

Lin Mo: "What? You've paid the money, and now you're not even calling me 'Father' anymore?"

Two people:.
"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Lin Mo called to the two of them.

Sichuan girl: "Where are you going? We haven't picked up the medicine yet."

"Doesn't the medicine need to be brewed? If they don't brew it for us, are the three of us just supposed to go back and eat it all? Let's wait, it'll take at least two hours. Let's go eat first," Lin Mo said, rolling her eyes at him.

Did they think this was like going to a pharmacy to buy sugar water, where they could just pay and get medicine? I have no idea what these two were thinking.

At a fast food restaurant near the hospital, Lin Mo and his two companions ordered two light dishes to eat something to fill their stomachs.

"Old Mo, your senior colleague looks very young. Is he also a doctor?"

As soon as she sat down, the Sichuan girl asked.

"You mean Senior Brother Fan? He's also Professor Li's student and now works at this hospital. He just said he could treat both of your conditions too," Lin Mo said, picking up a piece of stir-fried vegetables.

"Really? Your senior brother can cure this too? Could you give me Senior Brother Fan's contact information? I can contact him later. I always feel that Professor Li is too serious," the girl from Sichuan said excitedly.

Wang, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly, feeling a strange sense of nervousness in front of Professor Li. They weren't Professor Li's students, and couldn't be as relaxed and at ease as Lin Mo.

The most important point is that if others can also cure it, then they won't need to accompany Lin Mo on visits anymore, which would be quite awkward.

“Sure, my senior brother is just worried about not having anyone to practice on!” Lin Mo said readily.

Upon hearing this, both of them were taken aback.

Wang Chu couldn't help but ask, "Wait, you said practice?"

"That's right. My senior brother Fan has only been out of school for a short time. He once had the glorious achievement of paralyzing himself with three needles. If you two go over there, as long as you don't let him prick you with needles, I can't guarantee whether you can be cured, but you should be able to keep him from dying."

But if it's about him giving you acupuncture, I can't guarantee anything; it'll depend on your luck."

Two people:.
They thought he was going to be another big shot, but it turns out he's not quite there yet. In that case, they'll just have to wait another ten or eight years. They're really worried about Fan Peng in his current state.

Meanwhile, in the southern district of Jiangning, at the home of Miss Yuan's maternal grandmother in an old government compound, Professor Li Chengyang was taking the pulse of an elderly woman with thinning hair and a gaunt frame.

The old man was Miss Yuan's maternal grandfather. Although he looked very old now, his eyes were still very bright.

"Old leader, your health is still good, but your mind is too cluttered. You're already this age, why think about so many things? It's much better to just eat and drink."

"I'll prescribe two doses of medicine for you in a bit, and with acupuncture, that should alleviate your symptoms," Professor Li said with a smile.

You should know that the old man in front of you, although now retired, used to be a high-ranking official in Jiangning City and had even carried a gun back in the day.

Professor Li, though also an old man, still deserved the respect due to his former leader. Hearing this, Old Jiang grinned and said in a deep voice, "Alright, Li, you don't need to flatter me. Just tell me I have a few years left to live, so I'll have a better idea of ​​what to expect."

It's actually quite amusing to see Professor Li at this age being called "Little Li."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Jiang and her eldest son Jiang Jianguo, who were standing to the side, both showed signs of nervousness, while Miss Yuan was in the inner room with her grandmother.

The old man hasn't been feeling well these past few days, and Ms. Jiang is worried about him. Mr. Yuan can't come over every day because of company business, so Ms. Jiang, as his daughter, naturally wants to be there and invites her daughter along as well.

As the youngest in the family, and with Yuan Meng being their little daughter, the two elders adored her. Grandpa hadn't been feeling well lately, and with Yuan Meng around, at the very least, she could please him.

Upon hearing this, Professor Li immediately gave a wry smile. To be honest, based solely on the pulse and the old man's medical examination report, he could roughly diagnose how many years Jiang had left, but he absolutely could not say such a thing.

It's not like the person is about to die; we're notifying the family to prepare for the funeral.

"Old leader, you're making things difficult for me. I don't have that ability."

"Look at your medical report. It has been diagnosed as a malignant tumor. The doctor said there is no need for treatment. The tumor has not had enough time to grow. It will take ten or twenty years to grow little by little. If it is all fine, what other problems do you have?" Li Chengyang said with a smile.

Mr. Jiang was diagnosed at the hospital at the end of last year. He was there at the time, but considering the old man's age, there was no need to interfere.

As for the old man's other problems, they are mainly common ailments among the elderly. Of course, there is also the fact that he was shot years ago and has shrapnel in his body, which is compressing his nerves.

This has caused the old man to experience body pain from time to time, accompanied by poor sleep quality, and sometimes he even wakes up in the middle of the night in pain.

This is only because my family is well-off and I've taken good care of myself over the years; otherwise, the situation would only be worse.

Hearing this, Old Jiang laughed twice: "Haha, this is what makes me happy. When I was young, guns and cannons couldn't kill me, and now that I'm old, even cancer can't outlast me. It's all worth it."

"Since you're not going to tell me the truth, you should at least help me solve this awful pain all over my body. I don't ask for much, just let me get a good night's sleep. This is just too much to bear."

Upon hearing this, Professor Li breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "That's no problem. I'll prescribe a medicine for you to drink two doses to improve your sleep. Also, you need to control your emotions and not get angry all the time, as your blood pressure is a bit high."

As for relieving your pain, I won't prescribe painkillers or anything like that. You should already know what's going on. The best approach right now is acupuncture combined with massage.

"I can do acupuncture. As for massage, I have a student who's the head of the rehabilitation department at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, specializing in massage. He should be able to do it."

At this point, Professor Li paused, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing his expression, Old Jiang couldn't help but laugh and ask, "What's wrong? What's on your mind again?"

Professor Li, regaining his senses, was somewhat conflicted. Indeed, he was thinking of another of his students, Lin Mo, whose family-inherited massage skills were unmatched even by his own student, the headmaster.

But this was, after all, treating a leader, and Lin Mo was too young. Although he knew his student's skill level, the leader's family might not be willing. After all, in traditional Chinese medicine, the older the doctor, the more sought-after they are. The older generation also believed in the saying, "A young man with no experience is unreliable."

Secondly, he wasn't a professional doctor; how could he just find anyone to treat a leader?

"No, no former superiors, it's me."

"Speak your mind, or shut up. You're a grown man, why are you still babbling on and on?" Old Jiang spat.

Seeing this, Professor Li thought for a moment before speaking: "Old leader, actually I have another apprentice whose family-inherited massage skills are even better than my department head student's. He's not even finished his apprenticeship with me yet. If you trust me, I can have him come over here. As for whether or not to use him, you can make the decision."

Professor Li deliberately used the word "apprentice" to distinguish his student, showing how much he valued this apprentice.

Hearing this, Old Jiang couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, it seems your apprentice is quite extraordinary. Since you recommended him, let's come and give it a try together. What am I afraid of, an old man like me?"

As for Ms. Jiang and Jiang Jianguo, as their children, they would naturally welcome any better options available, regardless of whether they are actually useful or not. They just want to get the people first.

Moreover, while they might not know the others, they did know Dr. Li, a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Jiangning City who had treated many leaders in the system and was a top expert even in the country. Someone recommended by such a person must have some real talent and skills.

“Dr. Li, since that’s the case, let’s give it a try! The person you recommend can’t be wrong,” Jiang Jianguo said.

Ms. Jiang, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Thank you, Dr. Li."

Seeing this, Professor Li nodded, then turned around, took out his phone, and called his student.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo and his two companions had finished their meal and were strolling leisurely back when Lin Mo's phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, junior brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the hospital? Where are you?"

As soon as the call connected, Pan Limin's voice came through.

Lin Mo thought his senior brother knew he was there and wanted to exchange massage techniques, so he smiled and said, "I just came to get some medicine, so I didn't want to bother you. I'm almost at the door. Oh? I see you, senior brother."

But the next second, Senior Brother Pan ran up to him, stuffed a brand-new white coat in a plastic bag into his arms, and then pulled him away.

"Quick, come with me!"

Lin Mo, who was being forcibly pulled along, was completely bewildered: "Senior brother, senior brother, what's going on? Let's talk this out. We're all fellow disciples, it's just a chat, there's no need to rush. I haven't even gotten my medicine yet."

Pan Limin glanced at him upon hearing this: "There's no time to explain, get in the car!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
Only Chuanmei and Wang Churen remained, each holding an ice pop, standing there at a loss.

Director Wang: "Has Lao Mo been kidnapped?"

The Sichuan girl took a sip of her popsicle: "Nonsense, it seems like their sect has encountered a powerful enemy and is recalling its disciples."

Director Wang: "You've been reading too many novels."
