Who is this foolish woman? Is she trying to boost Chen Xiao's favorability for me for free?
Mu Shen rejoiced inwardly but showed no outward sign. Instead, he continued to indignantly accuse Li Bingxue:
"Don't I care about my young lady? Do you need to butt in? Moreover, as a patient's family member, I absolutely and unconditionally trust Doctor Chen's ability!"
Li Bingxue was speechless, her expression filled with disbelief. She muttered to herself:
Could Gou Shiquan have mistaken someone? Is this person really Mu Shen, the loyal butler who accompanied Mu Ni Hong to the Ye family? How can he not care about Mu Ni Hong's life or death? Instead, he's blindly praising and flattering Chen Xiao?
Despite her doubts, Li Bingxue dared not show any displeasure towards Mu Shen. Instead, she put on a pitiable act and argued nervously:
"Uncle Mu Shen, you don't know this, but Chen Xiao, like me, is an intern doctor who just joined Central Hospital not long ago. The reason he became a resident doctor was entirely through connections. In terms of medical skills, he's probably not even as good as me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Bingxue noticed Mu Shen's furious expression and, scared like a mouse, fled in haste.
But no sooner had she left, accompanied by bursts of coughing and thunderous applause, Mu Ni Hong suddenly woke up in the semi-open emergency room.
Mu Shen became even more convinced that Chen Xiao was a doctor of extraordinary caliber. Shocked and fearful, he no longer cared about the rule prohibiting family members from entering the emergency room and rushed in instinctively:
"Doctor Chen, thank you for your miraculous healing of my young lady's heart condition..."
Chen Xiao was still focused on saving lives, his forehead beaded with sweat from severe exhaustion. He removed his disposable gloves and shook his head, correcting him:
"I only temporarily revived her. I haven't cured her heart condition. This illness is caused by obesity compressing her heart and cardiovascular system. If she doesn't lose weight first, even if cured now, it will relapse sooner or later."
Mu Shen nodded in agreement, subconsciously flattering him repeatedly:
"Doctor Chen's medical skills are indeed superb! He diagnosed the root cause of my young lady's illness so quickly! As the saying goes, seeing a task through to the end. Does Doctor Chen have any secret remedies for helping my young lady lose weight? To be honest, she has a special constitution and has tried almost all methods and medications for weight loss, both domestically and internationally, but without any effect."
Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation:
"Her constitution is indeed a bit special, but our family's secret recipe, Jin Kui Shun Qi San..."
Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Mu Ni Hong, whose thoughts and consciousness were gradually returning, suddenly grabbed him with longing eyes:
"Doctor Chen? Is it really you! My son has realized his mistake, please spare him!"
Mu Shen, mindful of Mu Ni Hong's dignity, made a decisive move. With just one sharp glance, he ushered all the doctors and nurses present, including Yang Longjian and Hu Yun, out of the room. Then, while closing the door, he pleaded with sincere fear:
"Doctor Chen, although my young master offended you first and severely interfered with your treatment of the Dragon King, he has realized his mistake and is currently serving time in Ju Xian Mountain Prison. Please be magnanimous and forgive him!"
Chen Xiao unceremoniously shook off Mu Ni Hong's plump hand:
"I clearly stated on the phone before that I don't know any so-called Young Master Tian, nor do I know the Dragon King you speak of."
Mu Ni Hong's face, full of fat, trembled violently with anger, and her expression gradually turned ferocious:
"Boy, is one million enough? As long as you agree to spare my son, I'll give you one million right now!"
Seeing that Mu Ni Hong was willing to resolve the issue with money, Mu Shen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The superficial respect he had feigned gradually gave way to arrogance, and he confidently interjected:
"Doctor Chen, I advise you to agree quickly. After all, one million is not a small sum. It's enough for you to live a life of ease and comfort."
"Is one million a lot?"
Chen Xiao sneered, his expression filled with disdain:
"The guy next door, Liu Jin Ya, was so desperate for me to save his life that he was willing to kneel and beg me to accept his mansion in Swan Lake, which is worth at least thirty million. He's probably going through the title transfer procedures now! Oh, and he seems to be a dog raised by your Ye family, right? Could a mere dog's life be worth more than the esteemed Young Master Tian?"
Mu Ni Hong clearly hadn't expected Chen Xiao's appetite to be so large, and her anger intensified. Her breathing gradually became rapid again, and she said with a pained expression:
"Thirty million it is, then. It's just the money my son spent on buying a car. I'll bestow it upon you! But only if my son can be released from prison immediately. Otherwise, I'll ensure your whole family has the life to spend the money but not the life to live..."
"Slap!"
Before Mu Ni Hong could finish speaking, Chen Xiao raised his hand and slapped her fiercely across the face:
"I haven't even agreed yet, and you dare to threaten me?"
