Late at night, in front of the ICU of the First People's Hospital of Changhu City.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of baking soda and disinfectant.

Bian Xuezhang slumped onto the plastic bench, his hands gripping his hair tightly, his eyes bloodshot, and his fingernails digging almost into his scalp.

Suddenly, the deathly silence of the corridor was broken by the rapid thud of leather shoes.

"Excuse me... are you Bian Xuezhang?"

Bian Xuezhang raised his head in a daze and saw a middle-aged man in a jacket, covered in sweat, standing in front of him, panting heavily.

The person who arrived was Chen Liping, Chen Mo's uncle, who rushed over overnight after receiving Chen Mo's call.

"I am Bian Xuezhang... And you are?" Bian Xuezhang's voice was hoarse.

"I'm Chen Mo's uncle!" Chen Liping, not even bothering to wipe his sweat, pulled Bian Xuezhang up from the bench. "Xiao Mo called me, I know the situation. Has the money arrived?"

"It's...it's here. President Chen transferred 500,000 to me..." Bian Xuezhang took out his phone, his hands shaking so much he could barely hold it. The screen displayed a text message notification that the money had been deposited into his account.

"We're here! Let's go to the payment window first!" Chen Liping grabbed Bian Xuezhang and ran downstairs.

Standing in front of the ATM, Chen Liping glanced at the long payment slip and said in a deep voice to Bian Xuezhang, "Xiao Zhang, listen to me, don't just use your card to pay the 200,000 yuan debt. Go to the counter and expedite the withdrawal of 100,000 yuan in cash!"

Although Bian Xuezhang's mind was in a mess, he trusted Chen Mo completely and obeyed Chen Liping's words without question. He immediately followed Chen Liping to the counter and withdrew a full 100,000 yuan.

After receiving the cash, Chen Liping, relying on his business connections in the provincial capital, managed to find the door to the hospital director's office, who was on duty that night.

"Dean Zhang, I'm so sorry to bother you so late at night."

As soon as Chen Liping entered the room, he discreetly slipped the black plastic bag containing 100,000 yuan in cash deep into the dean's drawer, while offering him a cigarette and speaking in a low voice.

"The person lying in the ICU is a family member of one of my company's senior executives. The 200,000 yuan treatment fee has already been paid. This 100,000 yuan is a reward for the experts working overtime tonight. Please do us a favor and bring over the province's top cardiology and chest pain specialists for an emergency consultation tonight!"

Dean Zhang glanced at the heavy, rounded shape in the drawer, then at Chen Liping's impeccable demeanor. His previously stern expression softened instantly, and he accepted the cigarette. "Mr. Chen, you're too kind. Treating patients and saving lives is our duty. Don't worry, Professor Liu from Changhu Medical University happens to be at the hospital for an academic exchange tonight. I'll personally go and ask him to perform the surgery!"

With this 100,000 yuan in real money invested, Dean Zhang immediately got to work.

Treating patients and saving lives is the hospital's responsibility. Professor Liu is also a good friend of mine. He can earn 100,000 yuan just by asking. Why not do it?

In less than twenty minutes, two provincial-level experts, who usually couldn't even get an appointment, rushed to the ICU, and the green surgical indicator light lit up in the middle of the night.

For the entire second half of the night, Bian Xuezhang and Chen Liping stood guard at the door.

Bian Xuezhang stared intently at the tightly closed door, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.

4:45 a.m.

The red indicator light finally went out, and a weary-looking Professor Liu pushed open the door and came out, taking off his mask and exhaling a breath of stale air: "Fortunately, the patient has been using the top-of-the-line imported thrombolytic drugs, and the vascular embolism caused by the acute myocardial infarction has been basically cleared. The condition has completely stabilized, and as long as he is observed in the ICU for 48 hours, he can be transferred to a regular ward."

"thump!"

Bian Xuezhang could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, tears and snot streaming down his face.

……

The next morning, at nine o'clock.

A Hummer H2 conspicuously drove into the somewhat crowded courtyard of the First People's Hospital of Changhu City.

The license plate Jiang A·11111, consisting entirely of numbers, instantly attracted the attention of countless passing patients and medical staff.

The car door opened, and Chen Mo stepped out with a serious expression. He casually tugged at the collar of his trench coat and walked straight towards the inpatient building against the morning breeze.

Five minutes later, in the lobby outside the ICU.

Bian Xuezhang, who had been waiting all night and whose eyes were bloodshot, turned his head and saw Chen Mo striding towards him.

At that moment, Bian Xuezhang did not hesitate at all. This future genius of quantitative algorithms, in front of dozens of patients' families and nurses in the hall, his knees buckled and he knelt down heavily in front of Chen Mo with a "thud"!

"President Chen! I'm so grateful for your life-saving grace. I'll do anything for you, my life is yours!"

Bian Xuezhang's voice was hoarse as he slammed his head heavily onto the marble floor with a dull thud.

The air in the corridor instantly became quiet.

Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and pulled Bian Xuezhang up from the ground.

"Get up. A man's knees are worth more than gold. What I value in you is your talent. You should repay me; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen!" Bian Xuezhang wiped away his tears fiercely, and the cowardice and despair in his eyes vanished at that moment.

After settling Bian Xuezhang in, Chen Mo and his uncle Chen Liping, who had stayed up all night, went to a quiet spot on the hospital rooftop.

Chen Mo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to his uncle, lit it for him, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, his eyes turned completely cold.

"Uncle, you've had a tough night. Now, it's time to get some work done on that bitch Wang Li."

Chen Liping took a deep drag on his cigarette, his face also turning ashen: "Xiao Mo, last night I heard Xiao Zhang recount the whole story in bits and pieces. That woman is absolutely despicable! Not only did she maliciously insult an elderly person in public, triggering an acute myocardial infarction, but she also had Xiao Zhang detained. The worst part is, she absconded with all the savings the couple had saved for their wedding and house purchase, refusing to return a single penny of the bride price! This is nothing short of premeditated murder and extortion!"

"Extortion? No, that's too easy on her."

Chen Mo leaned against the cold iron railing: "I'll make her vomit up everything she's swallowed. She thinks she can bully Bian Xuezhang's family because they're honest people? This time, I'll teach her a lesson."

Chen Mo stubbed out his cigarette and said:

"The tens of thousands of yuan in savings that Wang Li absconded with, although it was in her account, was money Bian Xuezhang scraped together by selling his house to buy a house and get married. Find a lawyer, and tomorrow morning, file a lawsuit directly in the Changhu City Court. Don't go through civil mediation; sue her directly for illegally appropriating a huge amount of other people's property and maliciously appropriating premarital property!"

"Regarding the aunt's acute myocardial infarction, call the police immediately and have them retrieve the wedding dress shop's surveillance footage. Charge her with indirect intentional injury and malicious deprivation of another person's right to life. Wang Li must fully compensate for the aunt's medical expenses incurred in the ICU!"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, a flash of violence in his eyes: "Didn't she accuse Bian Xuezhang of intentional injury and send him to the detention center for three days? It was clearly she who maliciously insulted the old man first, and Bian Xuezhang lost control of his emotions in an emergency to stop the crime."

"This is called false accusation and framing! They've paid someone to make the courts and procuratorates handle this as a special case, sending that bitch Wang Li directly to jail on criminal charges!"

Listening to Chen Mo's series of swift and decisive methods, Chen Liping couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at his nephew, who was only eighteen years old and still a high school student, he felt a deep sense of awe.

"Xiao Mo, how come you know so much about the law?" Chen Liping asked subconsciously.

Chen Mo smiled slightly: "I read some law books when I have free time."

He then changed the subject: "Uncle, that's not important. What we need to do now is make sure Wang Li pays the price!"

Chen Liping nodded subconsciously, then said, "I know some lawyers, and the company also has business partners. I can arrange it."

Chen Mo pulled open the rooftop door: "Then let's do as I say for now. I'll go down and check on Bian Xuezhang's mother."
