Just then, the butler rushed out from the inner room, exclaiming in alarm:
"It's terrible! Master Li's illness has flared up more severely than ever before! He needs to be taken to the Li Family Emergency Center immediately!"
The guests and members of the Li family's collateral branches became restless. With Old Master Li's life hanging by a thread, the Li family was destined for turmoil!
Li Zhanting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Since that's the case, then everyone may leave! Today's banquet is over!"
After saying that, he gave Gu Momo a deep look, then quickly walked towards the inner hall.
Gu Momo held Li Qingling's hand with her left hand and Gu Jingxing's hand with her right hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter as she said, "My two little darlings, let's go too! There's bound to be some interesting things happening over there."
Li Qingling jumped up happily, "Yay, Mommy!"
Gu Jingxing asked with a grin, "Ling'er, isn't this old man your grandfather? Aren't you worried about him when he's sick?"
Li Qingling tugged at Gu Momo's clothes with her little hands, bouncing around while pouting her pink lips, "Of course Ling'er is worried about him, but Ling'er knows that Mommy's medical skills are superb, he definitely won't die!"
"Besides, brother, Daddy really doesn't like this grandpa. Daddy said that grandpa used to have a very good temper, but after a bunch of things happened five years ago, his temper became very strange."
"If Grandpa doesn't like Daddy anymore, then Ling'er won't like Grandpa either, hmph~"
Gu Momo narrowed her eyes. Did he suddenly stop liking Li Zhanting five years ago?
The events that happened in the Li family five years ago refer to the family upheaval that occurred there, right?
The power struggle within the Li family was so intense that bloodshed and chaos reigned throughout the capital. Countless branches of the Li family were purged, and countless people were imprisoned. Even some of the most influential members of the Li family were dragged into prison.
From then on, Li Zhanting became the rightful heir of the Li family.
As she was thinking, suddenly, Mr. Canran's cold voice rang out, "Gu Momo! How dare you come here?!"
Mr. Canran, dressed in a white coat, stood at the entrance of the Li family's emergency center. "Heh, it seems you're eager to climb the social ladder by joining the Li family. It's just a pity that you've offended Old Master Li. Even if a god were here, he couldn't protect you!"
Gu Jingxing and Li Qingling made a face at him in unison, "Hehehe... Grandpa's life still depends on Mommy to save him, aren't you saying that a little too soon?"
Mr. Canran was furious, but he had no way to lay a hand on the two little darlings of the Li family!
"Laughable! Saving people, my foot! Old Master Li's illness relapsed because of her! Gu Momo, I don't care what methods you used to appease Zixiao and Ling'er, you're definitely going to jail!"
Gu Momo casually whistled, "It's your own fault for using the wrong medicine, and you're blaming me? Ha..."
Mr. Canran was furious. In order to make the treatment effect appear more obvious, he did give Mr. Li a drug with strong side effects, but this kind of drug is extremely rare. How did Gu Momo know about it?
He sneered, "Old Master Li was so angry he fainted after hearing your words. Who else is to blame but you?"
Just then, a young man in a white coat rushed out of the emergency center, panting. "What can we do? The attending physician just said that the cancer cells in Mr. Li's body are spreading at an alarming rate, and the side effects of the medications used before were too severe. Now, apart from using Shenzhu Pills, which are derived from Shenzhu Pills, to control the growth of cancer cells, I'm afraid there is no other way!"
The young man had barely finished speaking when the crowd of doctors gathered outside were immediately taken aback:
"Divine Pearl Grass? You mean the genetically modified herb grown in Medicine King Valley?"
"Are you kidding me? The Divine Pearl Grass in Medicine King Valley is already hard to find, and using it to refine Divine Pearl Pills is even more difficult. Apart from the master of Medicine King Valley, who among us can guarantee that we can refine it ourselves!"
"Wait a minute, didn't Mr. Canran also hide a few Divine Pearl Grasses...?"
After everyone finished speaking, they all turned their attention to Mr. Canran.
Although Gu Momo had taken all of Mr. Canran's medicinal herbs, how could he possibly give up such a precious herb as the Divine Pearl Grass?
Sure enough, when Mr. Canran saw that everyone's eyes were on him, his expression instantly became more smug.
But on the surface, he still maintained a humble and respectable demeanor. "Of course I have the ability, and I will certainly help the old gentleman treat his illness without hesitation. I just don't know, Miss Gu Momo... how do you plan to save the old gentleman?"
Ha, wasn't Gu Momo bragging a lot just now?
With so many medical experts present, he was determined to humiliate Gu Momo so much that she would never be able to hold her head up in the capital again!
Gu Momo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Oh, so Mr. Canran is really going to stick with her to the end?
A nonchalant smile played on her lips as she yawned lazily. "Using Divine Pearl Grass to refine Divine Pearl Pills, is that some amazing thing? You can brag about something like that?"
Before Mr. Canran could even react, the young doctor who had just gone out to deliver the message was already unable to contain his anger.
He strode forward, his handsome face unable to conceal his anger, yet he managed to suppress it with his good manners.
“Miss Gu Momo, I don’t care why you are in the Li family, nor do I want to interfere with what you do in the Li family, but I must kindly remind you that the Divine Pearl Grass is a special anti-cancer herb that the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor of Medicine King Valley specially cultivated using genetic modification.”
"Because this herb is extremely special, the extraction difficulty is at least dozens of times higher than that of ordinary medicines. Even the world's top pharmacologists are not 100% confident in their ability to control it. According to current intelligence, only the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor in the entire medical community can completely extract it!"
"You may look down on Mr. Canran, but please don't look down on Shenzhu Grass and Shenzhu Pill. Your words are the greatest disrespect and insult to the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor. You should apologize to the Ghost Hand Saint Doctor!"
Gu Momo: ? ? ?
She just said something casually, why did she get attacked like that?
She blinked and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
Just then, the doors of the emergency center opened again, and Li Zhanting and a middle-aged man with bright eyes walked out.
The middle-aged man was overwhelmed with worry about his illness. When he saw Gu Momo after the examination, he was slightly stunned at first, but then he was so excited that his eyes lit up as if he had grabbed a leg, and he hurriedly ran towards Gu Momo.
"MoMo...Miss MoMo?! It really is you!"
With a calm and respectful smile on his face, he said to Gu Momo, "Miss Momo, I am really sorry for what happened just now. This is my son, Liang Yuhao. He doesn't know you, so he spoke rudely to you just now. Please don't take it to heart, Miss Gu Momo."
Gu Momo blinked. Wasn't this President Liang of the Capital Medical Association?
