A hint of shock and impatience flashed in Gu Momo's clear eyes. She frowned slightly and scoffed, "What's he doing here at this time?"
Butler Rong is experienced and usually calm in a crisis, but this time he seemed unusually flustered.
It seems that Master Gui Mo's arrival will definitely bring considerable trouble to the Rong family.
Butler Rong struggled to maintain his composure and quickly explained to Gu Momo, "Miss Momo, Master Gui Mo came this time under the banner of the Imperial Medical Association, and he clearly came prepared, specifically targeting you! I'm worried about you, Miss Momo..."
The smile in Gu Momo's eyes gradually turned cold. She slightly curled her lips and said, "Butler Rong, don't worry about me. I'll be there now. We can talk as we walk."
"good!"
Butler Rong bowed respectfully to lead the way for Gu Momo, who followed with her back straight.
Meanwhile, Gu Jingxing had already sneaked into Gu Momo's car like a kitten. He quietly poked his head out of the car, a hint of doubt flashing in his bright black eyes.
Fine, it's better if Mommy doesn't go to see that scumbag daddy. He can just wait for Mommy here for now!
...
The main hall of the Rong family was now packed with people.
Rong Changqing and Rong Moyun were dressed in dark black, custom-made suits. The two stood side by side. Rong Changqing exuded a majestic aura, his body as upright as a sword drawn from its sheath, and his every move conveyed an irresistible authority.
His well-defined fingers gently swirled the teacup, a slight smile playing on his lips, exuding an air of authority without anger.
"Master Gui Mo brought so many people here specifically to cause trouble for Mo Mo. I think he just wants to settle a personal score, right?"
The Imperial Medical Association appears to be a non-profit organization, but in reality, it secretly seeks to make huge profits.
In order to prevent the Imperial Medical Association from making exorbitant profits in the medical field, the Rong family spent a lot of money to buy the ownership of a number of drugs, and then sold them to patients who really needed them at prices far lower than those of the Imperial Medical Association.
These drugs come in more than thirty varieties, which could cost the Imperial Medical Association at least several hundred million yuan less in revenue.
It would be strange if Master Gui Mo wasn't here to settle a personal score!
Master Gui Mo stood majestically at the front, his wrinkled face outwardly righteous. "I'm just stating the facts. Your Gu Momo stole my acupuncture techniques. Shouldn't we settle this score with the Rong family?"
Although Rong Moyun's dark, bright eyes held a faint smile, that smile concealed a dagger, capable of killing at any moment:
"MoMo has never had any dealings with the Imperial Medical Association, and has absolutely no connection with you, Master Gui Mo. Her medical skills are all the result of her own hard work. What makes you think she stole them?"
Master Gui Mo's eyes were full of sneer. "That acupuncture technique is unique to Medicine King Valley. Apart from the people of Medicine King Valley, no one outside knows how it is used! Even my acupuncture technique was developed through countless studies. Gu Momo is not from Medicine King Valley. If she didn't steal it, where else could she have gotten it from!"
Master Gui Mo made a special trip to the Rong family this time, leading the way himself, followed by dozens of people from the Imperial Medical Association.
These are all renowned experts in the capital, holding pivotal positions in the capital's medical field. As long as he seizes on Gu Momo as leverage, the Rong family's reputation will be so tarnished it could be swallowed by the sewers!
Rong Moyun couldn't hold it in any longer, and he slammed his hand on the table, yelling, "You're talking nonsense!"
"My Momo is beautiful, kind-hearted, and incredibly smart. You think she's like you, only good at petty theft? Believe me, I'll take off my shoe and slap you in the face with my slipper!"
As he spoke, he actually made a slipper-like motion.
Master Gui Mo, who always maintained a dignified and respectable demeanor, had never seen Rong Moyun act so roguishly and coolly, and was immediately enraged:
"Ha! I think your Rong family is just feeling guilty! If you're so capable, have your Gu Momo come out and confront me!"
As he spoke, the mockery in his eyes became even more pronounced, and he grinned maliciously, "If your Rong family is scared, then you can sit down and negotiate with our Imperial Medical Association! Here's the deal: if the Rong family and Gu Momo can admit that the acupuncture technique Gu Momo used was stolen from me and publicly apologize to the public, then we can let this matter drop!"
"However, since it was your Rong family who made the mistake, if your Rong family wants to quell this matter forever, then transfer the ownership of those twenty-odd kinds of medicines that your Rong family previously purchased to the Imperial Medical Association for free! We will naturally not bother Gu Momo again!"
Enraged, Rong Moyun took off her shoes and threw them at Master Gui Mo, yelling, "You're the one who stole! I think your whole family are thieves!"
"You, you, you..." Master Gui Mo was hit squarely and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The Rong family is a renowned and prestigious family in the capital. How can they still have such a bad habit as throwing shoes with slippers?
"Ha, I think you're just being unreasonable. Gu Momo stole knowledge, and instead of handing her over, your Rong family is indulging her like this. It's simply..."
Just then, Gu Momo's cold and indifferent voice came from behind the crowd:
"Who said I stole my acupuncture techniques?"
The voice was ethereal, like a clear mountain stream dripping into a valley, melodious and pleasing to the ear. Everyone turned their heads in shock and saw Gu Momo walking slowly and gracefully towards them.
She calmly placed her hands behind her back, her cool and aloof face radiating a powerful aura that instantly drew everyone's attention to her.
"You are Gu Momo?" Master Gui Mo's eyes flashed with surprise and doubt.
For some reason, he felt like he had seen Gu Momo somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place her.
Rong Changqing and Rong Moyun both stood up. Rong Changqing pursed his thin lips and said, "Momo, come to your uncle's side first."
The Beijing Medical Association is nothing but a mere medical association; how could it expect to gain any advantage from the Rong family?
That's like a dream.
Rong Moyun quickly waved to Gu Momo and said, "Yes, yes, Momo, come here quickly! Those people are mentally ill, you might catch it!"
Gu Momo's delicate eyes held a charming smile as she casually placed her hands behind her back, a subtle curve to her lips.
"Uncle, don't worry. Didn't he say that I stole my acupuncture technique from him? Well then... I'll let him see my acupuncture technique and let him experience it for himself to see if it's really something I stole?"
The moment she finished speaking, the smile in Gu Momo's eyes vanished instantly!
Her fingers darted out from behind her with lightning speed, her arms gripping Master Gui Mo's chin with astonishing force. Her other hand produced dozens of silver needles, and a chilling smile played on her lips.
"Since there are no patients here to demonstrate the acupuncture technique to me, in order to prove my innocence, of course... I'll have to use your body to try it out, right?"
