Zhao Xiaobo was momentarily speechless.

Despite constantly proclaiming himself to be a social elite and upper-class individual with a million-dollar annual salary, he was, in essence, a stingy person who valued money above all else.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao mentioned that the bet was his one-year salary, he immediately felt a tightness in his chest.

However, after he regained his senses, he immediately agreed: "Alright, I'll bet! You said it yourself, so don't try to go back on your word when the time comes!"

Zhao Xiaobo deliberately provoked him, fearing that Chen Xiao would regret it.

In his view, Chen Xiao's actions were no different from handing him money.

He seemed to already see his account balance increasing by a million!

Chen Xiao naturally said, "Go back on my word? You should save that for yourself!"

"However, I want to state in advance that my treatment has an immediate effect, but to fully recover, several more treatments are needed."

Zhao Xiaobo urged impatiently, "Just hurry up and start! Don't dawdle. I can't wait!"

Although Mother Wu was very weak, she still understood what these two young men were doing.

"Fei'er, quickly advise them not to let my problem ruin their relationship."

Wu Fei'er pleaded, "Chen Xiao, Zhao Xiaobo, I think we should just forget about this bet, okay?"

Zhao Xiaobo immediately jumped in, "No way! Why should we just forget about it just because you said so? Chen Xiao is already destined to lose! Even if he doesn't want to bet now, he has no choice!"

Chen Xiao shrugged. "You've all seen it. It's not that I don't want to. Auntie, please don't worry about us. Let me give you the acupuncture!"

Mother Wu had no choice but to let them do as they pleased.

Chen Xiao's fingers danced, and the silver needles accurately pierced into Mother Wu's acupoints.

Wu Fei'er was dazzled by the sight. Just by this technique alone, her trust in Chen Xiao increased by several points.

However, she still couldn't completely believe that acupuncture could be used to treat cancer.

Zhao Xiaobo was even more skeptical. He completely dismissed Chen Xiao's actions: "Tch, pretending to be a miracle worker."

Ten minutes later, Chen Xiao put away the silver needles and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Alright."

Chen Xiao had really put in a lot of effort today, and his back was soaked with sweat.

Wu Fei'er was still a little incredulous. "It's done already?"

Chen Xiao nodded. "Yes, why don't you ask Auntie how she feels?"

"Mom, how do you feel?" Wu Fei'er asked immediately.

Then, Mother Wu actually sat up from the bed on her own.

"Fei'er, I feel very good. I haven't felt this good in a long time."

Wu Fei'er had an unbelievable look on her face because her mother was full of energy at the moment, completely different from before.

Her complexion was also much rosier.

What was even more amazing was that this was the first time in half a year that her mother had relied on her own strength to sit up from the bed.

In an instant, Wu Fei'er burst into tears: "Mom—"

Mother Wu quickly comforted her, "Silly girl, why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I? Your classmate is really capable. You have to thank him properly!"

"Yes, I know, Mom, I will definitely thank him properly!"

Wu Fei'er wiped away the tears on her face.

But now was obviously not the time to thank him because Chen Xiao was asking Zhao Xiaobo for the money.

"Come on, Xiaobo, transfer the money. One year's salary. I'll just count it as one million."

Zhao Xiaobo immediately retorted, "Why should I give you money? What proof do you have that you cured Auntie's illness? Maybe you just temporarily helped Auntie relieve the pain with acupuncture. Many doctors can do that!"

Zhao Xiaobo was obviously talking nonsense, and Wu Fei'er was the most qualified to speak on this point.

Since her mother became seriously ill, she had spent all her savings seeking out famous doctors.

They had naturally seen those famous Chinese medicine doctors as well, but none of them could do what Chen Xiao had done.

And Zhao Xiaobo's reaction was obviously within Chen Xiao's expectations.

"Hehe, Zhao Xiaobo, you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Fine, let's go to the hospital to take a film now. My treatment definitely has an effect. The film won't lie, right?"

Zhao Xiaobo shouted with his neck stiff, "Alright, let's go to the hospital to take a film now!"

It just so happened that Wu Fei'er also needed to take her mother for a check-up recently, so she directly agreed.

They rushed to the hospital, registered, and took a film.

However, the film results could not be obtained immediately. The fastest would be two hours.

Since it involved a bet of one million, Zhao Xiaobo would naturally wait.

But Chen Xiao felt that it was meaningless because he already knew the result.

In fact, after possessing the X-ray vision, he could already clearly see the cancer cells in Mother Wu's body.

After his treatment, most of the cancer cells had been eliminated.

The effect was immediate, and it would be shown on the film later.

So Chen Xiao wanted to leave, but Zhao Xiaobo grabbed him and wouldn't let him go.

"Want to leave? Feeling guilty, aren't you? Want to go back on your word, don't you?"

When Chen Xiao heard this, he immediately perked up.

Now he wanted to know what Zhao Xiaobo's expression would be like when the film came out.

However, after waiting for nearly two hours, Chen Xiao did not wait for the film results, but instead waited for Qi Tianhu's call.

"Boss Chen, where are you now? The company has important business. It's not convenient to talk on the phone. I need to trouble you to come in person."

Chen Xiao said, "I'm at the hospital. Where are you? I'll come find you!"

Qi Tianhu said an address, and Chen Xiao hung up the phone.

Then he said apologetically:

"Fei'er, I'm sorry, I have something important to do. I have to take a step first and won't wait for the results with you!"

Wu Fei'er quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm already very embarrassed to have delayed you for so long. Go and take care of your business. I'll find you when you're free."

Wu Fei'er knew Chen Xiao's identity, so she knew that Chen Xiao was definitely not just making an excuse to leave.

But Zhao Xiaobo began to speak sarcastically:

"What's going on, Chen Xiao? You've waited two hours, and you can't wait for the results to come out?"

"Hehe, I think you're just feeling guilty, knowing that you're definitely going to lose, and you want to go back on your word, don't you?"

"I've seen through your little tricks long ago. You can leave, but leave the money behind!"

Zhao Xiaobo was aggressive, and Chen Xiao also became impatient: "Zhao Xiaobo, don't push your luck. I'm telling you clearly, you've already lost. Prepare the money!"

"Tch, you say I've lost, and I've lost? If I've lost, why are you running away?"

Zhao Xiaobo stood with his hands on his hips, looking smug, and was very confident.

Just then, a doctor walked in with an excited expression.

"Liu Ying, where are Liu Ying's family members?"

When Wu Fei'er saw him, it was her mother's attending doctor. She quickly said, "Doctor, we're here!"

The doctor trotted over and said excitedly, "A miracle! This is truly a miracle!"

Wu Fei'er looked confused. "Doctor, what miracle?"

The doctor said with a smile, "I don't know why, but more than half of your mother's cancer cells have been cured!"
