93: Chapter 93 Chen Mo intervenes to save the day
About half an hour later, Chen Mo’s car stopped in front of a secluded private hospital. The area around the hospital was heavily guarded, with several bodyguards in black suits standing at the entrance. They looked stern, with sharp eyes, clearly not ordinary hospital staff.
As Chen Mo’s car approached, the bodyguards at the gate immediately stepped forward. After recognizing the license plate and the pass displayed in the car, they quickly stepped aside to let him through, even saluting him:
"Director Chen, please come in!"
This pass was specially issued to Chen Mo by the authorities and carried a very high clearance level. Forget the bodyguards at this hospital; even the Provincial Chief might not have such great influence, but Chen Mo usually kept a low profile and never used it.
The car proceeded smoothly all the way to the ground floor of the inpatient building. After getting out of the car, Chen Mo quickly walked into the main building. Just as he reached the vicinity of the ward, he saw Miss Wu standing at the door with red eyes, accompanied by many members of the Wu Family.
As soon as Miss Wu saw Chen Mo, she seemed to find her anchor. She immediately threw herself into Chen Mo’s arms and burst into tears:
"Chen Mo, you’re finally here... My grandfather is still inside. The doctor said... said he only has one breath left..."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. I’ll go in and take a look."
Chen Mo gently patted Wu Dongju’s back, comforting her softly. He then noticed the members of the Wu Family waiting nearby.
Most of the Wu Family members looked at Chen Mo with unfriendly eyes; some even held a degree of hostility and disdain.
One younger relative of the Wu Family, dressed in a suit and not much older, stepped forward first and blocked Chen Mo with an unfriendly tone:
"What are you doing? This is my grandfather’s ward. By what right do you think you can go in?"
Chen Mo let out a cold, disdainful laugh:
"I’m going in to save Old Master Wu. What? That’s not allowed?"
"Save my grandfather?"
That younger relative scoffed, his face full of mockery.
"Heh heh, Chen Mo, don't think too highly of yourself! What is my grandfather’s status? And what is yours? The best doctors from home and abroad couldn't save him. You, a mere businessman, dare to say you can save him? I think you’re trying to take advantage of the situation to curry favor with our Wu Family!"
"Exactly!"
Another younger member of the Wu Family stepped out and chimed in.
"Do you think just because you have some money and some ability, you can casually enter Old Master Wu’s ward? Let me tell you, impossible! Also, you and our eldest Miss have an unclear relationship, you won't even give her a proper title, and now you have the nerve to come to our Wu Family to rub shoulders? You have quite a thick skin!"
Seeing this, Miss Wu immediately lifted her head from Chen Mo’s embrace and roared at the two younger relatives:
"Shut up! Chen Mo was invited by me. He is here to save Grandpa. Stop spouting nonsense here!"
"Sister, we are doing this for your own good, and for the good of the Wu Family!"
The relative who spoke earlier said disdainfully:
"Why can't you see clearly? He is just deceiving you. He absolutely cannot save Grandpa; he just wants to take advantage of the situation to control our Wu Family!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a Zhongshan suit with a calm demeanor walked out. He was Miss Wu’s eldest uncle, Wu Qiming, who was currently the second-in-command of the province. He held a very high position in the Wu Family and was the person who disliked Chen Mo the most.
Wu Qiming stared at Chen Mo, his tone icy, carrying the oppressive aura of a superior as he looked at Chen Mo:
"Director Chen, thank you for coming, but my father’s matter is our Wu Family’s private affair. We won't trouble you with it. Furthermore, the doctors have already issued a critical notice. Please don't cause trouble here; please go back."
He had long been displeased with Chen Mo!
Ever since his second brother (Miss Wu’s father) started aligning himself with Chen Mo, his position had soared, now almost catching up to his own. Many of the Wu Family’s businesses and affiliated parties had also begun leaning toward his second brother. It was becoming increasingly difficult for him, the eldest son, to inherit the position of Family Head.
If Chen Mo truly saved Old Master Wu, then his second brother’s family would only become more prominent, and he would have even less chance. Therefore, he would rather Old Master Wu meet with misfortune than let Chen Mo step in to provide aid.
Chen Mo looked at Wu Qiming and sneered:
"The Wu Family’s private affair? Is Old Master Wu only your father? Miss invited me to save him, so I have the right to go in. As for whether I can save him, it’s not up to you to decide, nor is it up to those doctors. It’s up to me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene instantly fell silent. The faces of the Wu Family members all changed!
Chen Mo was clearly showing that he did not hold their Wu Family in high regard!
"Insolent!"
Wu Qiming’s face turned ashen. He pointed at Chen Mo and sternly stated:
"Chen Mo, don't be too arrogant! This is the Wu Family's territory, not a place for you to run wild! Go back wherever you came from!"
"So what if I run wild?"
Chen Mo took a step forward, unleashing his full aura. Years of holding a high position had naturally endowed him with the imposing presence of a superior.
"Today, I must go in and save Old Master Wu. Whoever blocks me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You dare!"
The two younger relatives of the Wu Family exchanged a look and charged directly toward Chen Mo, intending to teach this ignorant fellow a lesson.
The surrounding Wu Family members did not stop them either; instead, they crossed their arms and watched coldly. They also wanted to see exactly how capable Chen Mo was to dare to be so arrogant in their Wu Family.
Miss Wu anxiously shouted:
"Don't fight! Don't hurt Chen Mo!"
But it was too late. The two younger relatives had already rushed in front of Chen Mo, swinging their fists toward him.
But who was Chen Mo? He possessed Grandmaster-level combat skills and was much faster than them. He didn't even move his eyes; he simply raised a hand for a light block, followed by a quick twist of his wrist. A crisp 'crack' sound was heard, accompanied by a piercing wail, as one of the younger relative’s arms was dislocated by Chen Mo.
The other younger relative was so frightened that he froze on the spot. Before he could react, Chen Mo lifted his leg and kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him flying back to crash heavily against the wall. Clutching his stomach, he rolled around in pain and could no longer get up.
The entire corridor instantly fell into a dead silence. All the members of the Wu Family were terrified. They hadn't expected Chen Mo to be so fierce.
These two younger relatives had received military training and were somewhat capable within their circles, yet in front of Chen Mo, they were like small children, unable to block even a single move?
Wu Qiming’s expression instantly became extremely ugly.
Only then did he realize that Chen Mo’s personal strength was also formidable. None of them were his match, and if they pushed things too far, Old Xu beside them might not allow it. He knew Old Xu was sent by higher authorities.
Chen Mo clapped his hands, casually sweeping his gaze across the hostile Wu Family members, and said:
"Is there anyone else who wants to stop me?"
This time, no one dared to speak. The Wu Family members who met Chen Mo's gaze lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word. The hostility and disdain from before were nowhere to be seen now.
Chen Mo then ignored them, took Wu Dongju’s arm, and walked directly into the ward.
The ward was luxuriously decorated and fully equipped. Old Master Wu lay on the hospital bed, his face pale, eyes tightly shut, and breathing faint. He was covered in various tubes, and several monitoring instruments stood nearby, tracking the Old Master’s condition.
Several doctors in white coats stood by the bedside, shaking their heads with helpless expressions. Seeing Chen Mo enter, they frowned. One leading doctor stepped forward and said:
"Who are you? This is the intensive care unit. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in! Hurry up and wait outside!"
Chen Mo ignored him, walked directly to the bedside, looked down at Old Master Wu, and gently placed his hand on his wrist to feel the Old Master’s pulse.
Although the pulse was weak, there was still a trace of life force.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, then said to Wu Dongju beside him:
"Don't worry, there is still hope for a cure."
After speaking, Chen Mo took out a small glass vial from his pocket. It contained a transparent liquid, which was the 'Longevity Potion' he had developed. It could not only cure diseases but also extend life. Even for someone whose lifespan was nearly exhausted, as long as a trace of life remained, they could be saved and have their life extended.
Seeing this, the doctor stepped forward to stop Chen Mo:
"What are you doing? Don't cause trouble! This is a patient; you cannot casually inject an unknown liquid into him. If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
Chen Mo looked up at him and said with a harsh tone:
"Get out of the way and don't delay me in saving someone. If anything happens to Old Master Wu, I will hold you accountable!"
The doctor paused, taken aback by Chen Mo’s imposing aura.
He could tell that Chen Mo’s identity was not simple; even the Wu Family members dared not stop him. As a mere doctor, he certainly couldn't say much more. His attempt to stop him earlier was merely out of professional responsibility.
Chen Mo stopped paying attention to him, carefully opened the glass vial, drew a small amount of the potion with a syringe, and gently injected it into Old Master Wu’s vein. He then stood quietly by the bedside, waiting for the potion to take effect.
Wu Dongju tightly gripped Chen Mo’s arm, looking anxiously at Old Master Wu on the bed, feeling both hopeful and fearful in her heart.
She believed in Chen Mo, yet she was afraid that even Chen Mo couldn't save her grandfather.
The Wu Family members nearby also walked into the ward and stood by the door, watching everything with complex expressions.
Some were expectant, some were worried.
Wu Qiming watched all this, secretly praying that Chen Mo's potion would have no effect.
