An Linchang and the others sneered again. "Kid, what do you mean by that? Are you saying Old Mo has cirrhosis?"
"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to curse Old Mo. Did the Qin family put you up to this?" a middle-aged man who had a bad relationship with the Qin family asked dismissively.
"Old Mo is in good health, how could there be any problems? Kid, watch what you say and where you are. If you anger Old Mo, even if your father-in-law is the Qin family head, he can't protect you."
Chen Fan ignored An Linchang and the others, his gaze fixed on Old Mo.
Old Mo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, I'd like to see what kind of miracle doctor you are."
Saying this, Old Mo reached out, and a burly middle-aged man quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Everyone was stunned by Old Mo's words.
Old Mo stood up and smiled calmly at the crowd. "This young man is right. Not long ago, I was diagnosed with cirrhosis."
What?!
Qin Hongguo and the others were shocked. They hadn't expected that Old Mo, who looked so robust, would actually be suffering from such an incurable disease.
What surprised them even more was how this young brat knew about Old Mo's illness when even they were unaware of it.
Old Mo didn't bother explaining much to them. He then turned to Chen Fan and asked, "How do you plan to treat me?"
Chen Fan looked around. "Just find a quiet place."
Old Mo glanced at Liu Zhijun, who understood his intention and quickly led everyone to the restaurant not far from the banquet hall.
The restaurant was a suite. Liu Zhijun and the others stayed in the reception room, while Chen Fan and Old Mo walked into the private dining room of the restaurant alone.
"You have guts," Old Mo said, sitting down and appraising the calm Chen Fan. He nodded in satisfaction.
"You flatter me, Old Mo. You pay, I work, it's only natural," Chen Fan said with a faint smile, taking out a few silver needles.
"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Old Mo looked surprised when Chen Fan produced the needles.
Especially Chen Fan's needle-handling technique, which felt comparable to that of TCM masters.
Chen Fan nodded and began to apply acupuncture to Old Mo.
Meanwhile, in the reception room outside the restaurant, several influential figures of Huá Nán province, whose slightest move could shake the province, sat waiting for the results of Chen Fan's treatment of Old Mo.
Qin Hongguo's face was grim, and he said nothing.
He had intended to take this opportunity to announce Chen Fan as his family's son-in-law, but he hadn't expected Chen Fan to cause such a huge problem for him right from the start.
If Chen Fan succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, not only would the Qin family lose face, but Old Mo might also vent his anger on the Qin family!
Qin Shuran could sense her father's emotions and quickly said in a low voice, "Dad, don't worry. Chen Fan will definitely succeed. Before."
Before Qin Shuran could finish, An Linchang, who was sitting nearby, burst into laughter. "Niece, don't joke. Everyone knows cirrhosis can only be treated with a transplant, and the survival rate is extremely low. Are you trying to fool your uncle by saying I'm uneducated?"
"But Chen Fan."
"Silence!" Qin Hongguo snapped before Qin Shuran could explain.
"Brother Qin, isn't your Liu family's Liu Qianze quite good? He's handsome and talented, and I heard he's also a top student in medicine."
"He's a doctor from the world's number one medical university. I've heard of him for a long time. He's a rare genius in the medical field. Why would you reject such an excellent son-in-law? He's much better than this bragging kid." An Linchang asked again.
"If people didn't know, they'd think the Qin family looked down on Liu Qianze," the middle-aged man who had previously targeted the Qin family interjected again, clearly trying to sow discord between the two families.
Liu Zhijun's expression immediately turned displeased.
Wasn't this targeting the Qin family? Why was it dragging him into it now?
"This is between me and the Qin family. It has nothing to do with you, right?" Liu Zhijun said coldly, unwilling to dwell on the matter, as it also concerned the Liu family's reputation.
"Click!" Just then, the tightly shut door was opened.
Chen Fan and Old Mo emerged from the restaurant.
The room instantly fell silent, and all eyes turned to Old Mo.
"Old Mo, how do you feel?" Qin Hongguo asked impatiently.
"Brother Qin, are you really asking if your eccentric son-in-law can cure cirrhosis?" An Linchang chuckled mockingly.
The others also watched with amusement, eager to see how the Qin family would extricate themselves.
"Hahaha, thanks to Dr. Chen Fan, I feel much better now! And that stinging pain has completely disappeared. According to Dr. Chen, my condition isn't severe, and I'll be fully recovered after taking some more medicinal soup." Old Mo laughed heartily, his voice sounding more energetic than before.
"What?!" Hearing Old Mo's words, An Linchang and the others were stunned.
Especially those who had hoped to see the Qin family embarrassed were filled with disbelief.
"This, how is this possible? Old Mo, are you joking?" the middle-aged man who had previously targeted the Qin family asked, unable to help himself.
Old Mo, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold. "Do you really not want my illness to be cured?"
"No, no, no! Old Mo, how could I possibly have such a thought?" the middle-aged man waved his hands frantically, his face filled with panic.
Old Mo ignored the middle-aged man and turned his gaze to Qin Hongguo. "Patriarch Qin has indeed found a good son-in-law."
Qin Hongguo's heart was already in turmoil. He hadn't expected Chen Fan to actually be able to cure Old Mo's illness.
Subsequently, Qin Hongguo's face broke into a smile. Chen Fan's performance in front of Old Mo today was a great boon for the Qin family. Perhaps the cooperation with Changlin Group would fall into the Qin family's hands!
Seeing Qin Hongguo's joy, the others were filled with envy and jealousy.
Everyone at this charity gala had their own agenda, hoping to secure the cooperation with Changlin Group. After all, it was a Fortune Global 500 company, and who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
But they knew that after this incident, cooperation would likely be out of the question for them.
Since Old Mo needed to undergo further detailed examinations at the hospital, these important figures planned to leave the charity gala early. After all, there was no longer any point in staying.
Chen Fan and Qin Shuran had already left the private room while the others were chatting.
The second charity event had already begun outside, but Chen Fan and Qin Shuran had lost all interest. They planned to return directly to the Qin family villa.
However, just as they were about to exit the hotel, several figures suddenly blocked their path, looking at them with ill intentions.
A young woman at the forefront, with a smirk on her lips and a glint of coldness in her eyes, said, "Brat, you've angered me, and you think you can just leave unscathed?!"
