I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down
Chapter 859 Charlatan
Chen Mo's expression remained calm: "I won't show my prescription to anyone casually."
"Hahaha!" Li Fugui laughed. "Did you hear that? You don't even dare to write down the recipe! Isn't that a guilty conscience?"
"He must be a charlatan!"
"How could the Liu family trust such a person?"
"It's so embarrassing!"
Doubts poured in like a tide, but Chen Mo seemed to be on the sidelines, his expression expressionless. He looked at Mr. Liu, then at Liu Ying, and sighed inwardly.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly parted, and a majestic voice rang out: "Get out of the way!"
Everyone turned around and saw a tall, gray-haired old man striding towards them. The moment they saw him, everyone was stunned.
"Wang Dingguo!"
“It’s Doctor Wang!”
Wang Dingguo holds a high reputation in the local medical community and is known as a contemporary miracle doctor, curing countless difficult and complicated illnesses. His presence instantly quieted the entire banquet hall.
Wang Dingguo walked up to Chen Mo, suddenly knelt on both knees, and kowtowed three times respectfully: "Disciple Wang Dingguo, I pay my respects to the Master!"
This scene shocked everyone. Divine Doctor Wang actually knelt before this young man? And called him Master?
The entire banquet hall fell silent, everyone stunned by the scene before them. The renowned Divine Doctor Wang was actually performing the master-disciple ceremony for a mocked "son-in-law"?
"Doctor Wang, what are you doing..." Li Fugui asked stutteringly.
Wang Dingguo slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to face the crowd. His face was serious, and his voice was loud and clear: "Everyone, please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Mo, my master, and a rare miracle doctor in this world."
"what?!"
"Master of Divine Doctor Wang?"
"How can this be?"
Everyone looked at each other, completely unable to accept this fact. Wang Dingguo was in his sixties, a highly skilled doctor, and well-known throughout the province. And Chen Mo looked only in his twenties. How could he be his master?
Wang Dingguo seemed to see through everyone's confusion and continued to explain, "Five years ago, I was terminally ill, and all the major hospitals were helpless. Just when I was in despair, I met my master. He used only three pills to pull me back from the clutches of death. From then on, I was determined to become his disciple and learn from him. Unfortunately, my master was always traveling, and his whereabouts were uncertain. It's truly a great blessing to be able to meet him again today."
This statement made sense, but everyone still found it hard to believe. After all, Chen Mo was old, and he also had the burden of being the "Wang family's son-in-law."
Although Li Fugui was shocked, he was unwilling to give in. He cleared his throat and said, "Doctor Wang, we respect your character and medical skills, but... could it be that we've mistaken you for someone else? After all, this Mr. Chen looks too young."
"That's right, and he clearly refused to write a prescription and was unwilling to prepare the medicine for testing." Pharmacist Zhang also echoed.
Wang Dingguo frowned and was about to retort, but Chen Mo waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't want to argue with them."
After saying that, he turned and headed upstairs. In his opinion, whether these people believed it or not, Mr. Liu's condition had improved, and his mission was accomplished. As for these idle gossips, he had long been accustomed to them.
"Wait!"
At this moment, there was a sound of a wheelchair rolling outside the door. Everyone turned around and saw an old man with white hair and a haggard face being pushed in in a wheelchair.
"Mr. Lin!"
"It's actually Mr. Lin from the Lin Group!"
"Why is he here too?"
The Lin Group is a local conglomerate on par with the Liu Group, and Mr. Lin, Lin Tianhai, is a legendary figure in the business world. However, the elder has been in poor health in recent years and rarely appears in public.
Lin Tianhai was pushed to the center of the crowd. His cloudy eyes scanned everyone present and finally fell on Chen Mo.
"Young man, I heard that you are an excellent doctor?" Lin Tianhai's voice was a little hoarse.
Chen Mo stopped and glanced back at Lin Tianhai. With just one glance, he saw the problem. The old man had a lingering toxin in his system, and it was a very specific toxicity. It must have been from a poisoning many years ago that hadn't been completely cured, and now the toxin had seeped deep into his bone marrow, causing his health to fluctuate.
"There is poison in your body." Chen Mo said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"What? Master Lin was poisoned?"
"Nonsense! Mr. Lin is just old and in poor health."
"Is this kid crazy? Cursing an old man in front of so many people?"
Lin Tianhai was not angry, but a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Tell me more about it."
Chen Mo took a look at his face and observed his fingers. "You must have been poisoned twenty years ago. The treatment at that time was not thorough, and the toxin remained in your body. Now, as you get older, your immunity has declined, and the toxin has begun to take effect. Do you often feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness in your hands and feet, and do these symptoms fluctuate?"
Lin Tianhai's eyes widened: "How...how did you know?"
Everyone was stunned. Mr. Lin's reaction showed that Chen Mo was right. He really saw the cause of the disease!
Lin Tianhai was so excited that his body was shaking. "Miracle doctor! He really is a miracle doctor! I do have these symptoms, and they have troubled me for years. All the major hospitals can't find the cause. Some doctors even say it's normal for my age."
He turned to look at the assistant beside him: "Xiao Liu, take out my medical records for everyone to see."
The assistant immediately pulled a thick stack of medical records from his briefcase. Lin Tianhai took it and flipped to a page. "This is my hospitalization record from twenty-three years ago. Back then, while inspecting a factory, I accidentally came into contact with chemical raw materials and was hospitalized for poisoning. The doctor said I've recovered, but my health hasn't been good over the years."
Everyone passed around the medical records, and the records on them indeed confirmed Chen Mo's judgment. Suddenly, the eyes looking at Chen Mo changed.
Li Fugui's face turned pale. He hadn't expected Chen Mo to be so capable. However, he was already in a difficult position. If he gave in now, not only would he lose face, but he would also be unable to survive in this circle.
"Hmph!" Li Fugui snorted coldly, "What's the point of being able to figure out the cause of the disease? The key is whether it can be cured! I just don't believe that a young boy like him can cure a chronic disease that has lasted for so many years?"
This statement was echoed by some people. After all, diagnosis and treatment are two different things, and identifying the cause of a disease does not necessarily mean that it can be cured.
Chen Mo glanced at Li Fugui and said, "I can indeed cure it."
"You're bragging!" Li Fugui jumped up immediately. "If you can really cure Mr. Lin's twenty-year-old illness, I'll smash my herbal medicine shop!"
"That's not necessary." Chen Mo shook his head, "But if you want to completely cure it, you need a medicinal ingredient - thousand-year-old ginseng."
