The World's Number One Medical Hall

Chapter 82 This family is not to be trifled with

The weather was a bit gloomy.

To be honest, even Chu Ruohan herself didn't understand why she couldn't help but come to see this young doctor again this morning.

Perhaps it was the exaggerated and impressive signboard of Mo Bai's "Number One Medical Clinic in the World" that made her so curious, or perhaps it was because she had never seen a young doctor her age who dared to sit in the clinic and perform for money.

In short, this combination, which would seem like a cheap, low-class gimmick to the average person, somehow held a grudge in her heart, making her inexplicably want to come and see if there would be any unexpected surprises.

"That's the basic situation, little doctor, what do you think..." Chu Ruohan had been sitting in front of Mo Bai for a while, and now, looking at Mo Bai's face, which hadn't changed much from beginning to end, she felt a little nervous.

"Miss, my surname is Bai, not Xiao." Mo Bai, who had been listening attentively to the young lady's story without interrupting, finally couldn't help but raise his eyes and correct her seriously after she addressed him as "Little Doctor" again.

"Uh..." Chu Ruohan stammered. For some reason, seeing Mo Bai, who was so young yet so serious, with the calm and composed demeanor of an old doctor in a clinic, made her want to laugh for no apparent reason.

But the slightest smile on his lips was quickly suppressed as he lowered his head to hide it.

Seeing her like this, Mo Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. Seeking medical treatment was no fun at all.

But remembering his own pale, beardless appearance, he didn't bother to pursue the matter further. He simply changed the subject and said softly, "So, it's been two months since your father suffered a stroke and fell. Although he's still conscious, he's unable to get out of bed and regain his independence, is that right?"

"Yes, yes, we've seen so many doctors, but there's still no hope of improvement." Chu Ruohan looked up at Mo Bai and nodded repeatedly, "Dr... Dr. Bai, can you treat my father's condition?"

Looking into her expectant eyes, Mo Bai remained unmoved, and simply said softly, "Whether it can be cured or not can only be known after examining the patient's specific condition."

Not getting a definite answer, the light in Chu Ruohan's eyes dimmed slightly. Even though she knew the young doctor was right, she still felt that the hope she had been holding onto had suddenly vanished.

I've heard this sentence far too many times, and the result is always the same.

Seeing her dejected state, Mo Bai could understand. Sometimes, the mental pressure on the patient's family members is far greater than that on the patient. This girl was clearly spoiled and pampered. After her family's fortunes suddenly collapsed, she must be feeling fear and anxiety.

He spoke again, his voice still calm and composed: "Young lady, stroke is not a rare disease, but the recovery is not always the same. If the symptoms are mild, a few doses of herbal medicine can clear the blood vessels, allowing the patient to regain self-care ability, or even recover to their pre-stroke state. However, some more severe cases may require years to recover. This depends on the patient's actual condition, their ability to cooperate with treatment, and external environmental factors. Without seeing the patient in person, I cannot give you a precise answer, but..."

"But what?" Chu Ruohan quickly interjected.

"However, the first three months are crucial for any stroke, as they are the golden period for recovery. Your father has only been ill for two months, so there is no need to be too pessimistic," Mo Bai said in a steady voice.

"Hmm, young doctor, you mean my father can be cured!" Chu Ruohan was immediately shocked and stood up abruptly, staring intently at Mo Bai.

"My surname is Bai!" Mo Bai was defeated!

……

Manager Wu stood at the door, watching Mo Bai leave with the young girl, holding up the signboard of the "Number One Medical Clinic in the World." A smile appeared on his lips: "I didn't expect him to actually take on this business."

"Shopkeeper, this Doctor Bai must still think this is a good deal," a servant said with a smile, standing in front of the shopkeeper.

"Heh, didn't you see their signboard? They claim to be the best in the world! Who knows, they might just cure a disease that the entire Mingzhu medical community can't cure with a single treatment? They'll become famous overnight." The shopkeeper's smile widened.

"If he were really that skilled, would he need to set up a stall to earn money to seek treatment from our Doctor Zhu? Heh heh, this family is not to be trifled with..." the waiter chimed in.

The shopkeeper turned his gaze from the man's retreating figure to the empty tables and chairs opposite him, stretched, and said, "With that eyesore gone, I feel much better. Come on, let's wait and see what happens!"

After saying that, she turned and went back to the clinic counter, but her gaze fell on Dr. Chen, who was sitting in the office. She paused for a moment, then went to Dr. Chen and waited until he finished seeing a patient before leaning down and whispering in his ear, "Dr. Chen, Mr. Changqing over there is setting up his stall again today!"

"Hmm?" Doctor Chen frowned suddenly, glanced at the shopkeeper, then lowered his gaze and said directly, "Next!"

The shopkeeper, having made a fool of himself and not daring to provoke further, could only stand up with a dry laugh. However, as he turned around, a slight glint flashed in his eyes. For some reason, he felt that Mr. Changqing might not actually be on the verge of death as Dr. Chen had said. It wasn't that he didn't trust Dr. Chen; although he disliked Dr. Chen's personality, he was still a doctor at the clinic, and he knew his medical skills well. Dr. Chen was considered a renowned doctor in the entire Pearl River Delta.

Having only dealt with Mo Bai a few times, perhaps out of a businessman's intuition, he always felt that although Mo Bai did look sickly, he still had a human touch and did not seem to be on the verge of death.

This made him uneasy. What if Mr. Changqing really didn't die and kept running that stall across the street? If Doctor Zhu came back and got angry, he would probably be in trouble.

That's why when the siblings came to his door this time, he subconsciously wanted to trick Mo Bai; it was just an instinctive precaution.

He shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore. Now that this guy was embroiled in this mess, it would probably be quite embarrassing for him. He had no power or influence in Mingzhu, so that family might not treat him well...

……

"This is it!" At the entrance of a modern garden villa, Chu Ruohan led Mo Bai to the gate and introduced it to him.

Mo Bai, dressed in a long robe, held up a sign that read "The Best Medical Center in the World," looking just like a wandering Taoist priest as he glanced at the building.

His expression remained calm, but a thought secretly flashed through his mind: "This is the residence of politicians; these brother and sister are indeed from an official family!"

"Dr. Bai, could I ask you for a favor?" Upon arriving at the courtyard gate, Chu Ruohan seemed to realize that she had forgotten something. With a somewhat embarrassed expression, she tugged at the hem of her skirt and whispered.

Mo Bai remained calm, glancing at her before speaking softly, "Miss Chu, I did not accept any money from you beforehand, nor did I come here willingly. It is simply that a doctor's duty is to heal the sick and save lives. Since there is a patient before me, I cannot stand idly by if I can do my best. However, this requires the cooperation of the client. Otherwise, even if I suffer a bad attitude, if the client does not cooperate, I will be powerless to help."

Chu Ruohan's heart tightened immediately. In fact, after today's interaction, she naturally realized that although this young doctor was taciturn and composed, he also had a faint sense of pride and was not the kind of person who would grovel.

But what about my own family...?

With a heart full of trepidation, she had already reached the door, but she could only face it, forcing a smile at Mo Bai and saying, "Young doctor, you're right, please!"

Mo Bai was clearly uneasy when she called him "Little Doctor" again, but he didn't say anything more. In fact, what he said earlier was not a lie. When there was a patient, if he could treat him, he would always be willing to help, no matter what the circumstances.

A servant came out to greet them and opened the door. However, upon seeing the flag that Mo Bai was holding, the servant's expression clearly froze, but he did not dare to speak.

However, this reminded Chu Ruohan, who looked at Mo Bai's signboard again: "Dr. Xiao Bai, could you... put this away for now?"

Mo Bai glanced at his own signboard, hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. After all, he understood that the signboard did indeed look rather low-class...

Seeing that Mo Bai agreed, Chu Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief.

The courtyard is quite large, and the environment is very nice.

Of course, Mo Bai was not naive and had no expectations. He followed Chu Ruohan to the hall.

Mo Bai looked up and surveyed the room, a flicker of emotion involuntarily crossing his eyes, though not one of surprise.

Upon arriving here, he found it to be the first time he had ever seen such a modernly decorated scene.

Carpets, European-style hanging fixtures, long leather sofas, stylish coffee tables, long dining tables...

"Miss!" Just as she was looking around, an elderly man in his fifties came forward to greet her, but his gaze lingered on Mo Bai.

"Uncle Zhou, is my older brother here?" Chu Ruohan nodded and asked.

"Young Master just returned and is talking with Master," Uncle Zhou replied, glancing at Mo Bai, especially at the rolled-up signboard in Mo Bai's hand, before continuing to ask Chu Ruohan, "Miss, do you have guests?"

"Uncle Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Dr. Bai, whom I invited to treat my father," Chu Ruohan said.

"Oh, Dr. Bai!" Uncle Zhou quickly bowed to Mo Bai and clasped his hands in greeting.

Seeing that he wasn't surprised, Mo Bai realized he already knew what was going on. He paused for a moment, then glanced at Chu Ruohan beside him, thinking to himself that this girl must have someone following her, which he hadn't noticed.

"Hello!" He didn't show it on his face, but simply bowed slightly to Uncle Zhou.

"Miss, please have a seat with Doctor Bai. I'll go upstairs and inform them!" Uncle Zhou said.

"No need, Uncle Zhou, I'll just take Doctor Bai there directly. You can go ahead and do your work!" Chu Ruohan shook her head and refused.
