Genres:Urban Romance
        Wan Xiaoxue said anxiously: Yilin, just tell us, how could we guess it? If we could guess it, would we need to ask you?

    Yao Yilin said mysteriously: The only way to win Mo Wenjie is to inversely deduce him. Jiaqi has already set an example for us, and if we remain modest, we will miss the opportunity. Unparalleled good man, I don't know what you think, but beautiful women love heroes, and I am definitely this type of person.

    Jiang Shanshan said: Yilin, what you said, every woman has a yearning for strong men. Who doesn't want their other half to be a great hero? If you love heroes, then why wouldn't I?

    Wan Xiaoxue said: After saying all this, it seems that the two of you mean that I like ordinary men and am willing to spend my whole life with them.

    Xie Jiaqi shook her head. It's not fair to say that I can't be wrong in this way of thinking, but it will be very difficult for you to let Wenjie accept you. I have gone through all kinds of hardships with him, and finally achieved our goal. First of all, we must avoid making him hate you, otherwise even the chance to be by his side will not exist.

    Yao Yilin nodded in agreement. Through today's interaction, I have some understanding of him. Although he is very low-key, he hates evil as if it were his enemy and has a strong sense of justice. To be with him, one must unite with him on the same front.

    Jiang Shanshan said: Then we will find a way to stay by his side.

    Yao Yilin shook her head. If so, it would only make him hate you. To make him value you, you need to keep a certain distance from him and be able to see him at any time without making him feel it's intentional.

    Wan Xiaoxue was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

    Jiang Shanshan said: I think we should just let it be. If there is a destined connection with him, he will eventually accept us, and if there isn't, no matter how hard we try, it will be a waste of effort.

    Yao Yilin nodded, and we shouldn't think too much about it. Let's just go with the flow!

    Xie Jiaqi said: You figure it out on your own. I'm going to rest now.

    Jiang Shanshan said: I only realized now that you have no empathy for others. You're like a full man who doesn't know what it's like for an empty one. Just leaving us behind like that.

    Xie Jiaqi retorted: I've done my best for you, revealing so much information about him. What to do next is something you should consider. I can't help and staying up with you won't make a difference. It's time for me to go to sleep.

    Yao Yilin said: Go to rest, and figure out the plans for yourselves in your own time!

    The next morning, Mo Wenjie woke up and went for a walk outside the hotel. He originally wanted to accompany Xie Jiaqi for another day. Suddenly, his phone rang, a stranger's number. He answered the phone: "Hello, is that Mo Wenjie, the Divine Doctor?" A melodious and beautiful voice came from the other end of the phone.

    Mo Wenjie: I am. Who are you? What's the matter with calling me?

    The melodious and beautiful voice: I'm a classmate of Meng Xiaoshuang's, Qiu Shuzhen. I'm from Hunan. My father has been diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer, and the hospital expenses have run out. Now we have no money to pay for further treatment. The hospital has notified me to discharge my father. My father has worked hard his whole life, supporting us through our education. Now he is critically ill. I want to save my father, but I have no ability to handle the expensive medical fees. I'm really at my wit's end and have no choice but to borrow money from my classmates, promising to pay them back after graduation. When I asked Meng Xiaoshuang for a loan, she told me that you can definitely save my father's life and asked me to call you.

    Mo Wenjie said: I've heard about the situation you described. Regarding your father's illness, I haven't seen the patient in person, so I can't guarantee that I can definitely cure him. If you tell me the specific location, I can go and visit your father to see if there is anything I can do.

    Qiu Shuzhen: Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Mo. As long as my father's illness can be cured, I am willing to do anything for you.

    Mo Wenjie: Don't say that. Send over the location, and I'll go right now.

    Qiu Shuzhen: Okay, I'll send the location over as soon as I hang up the phone.

    Mo Wenjie: I'll hang up first!

    Xie Jiaqi, Wan Xiaoxue, Jiang Shanshan, and Yao Yilin also went for a walk and arrived here.

    Mo Wenjie said: Jiaqi, I have something to tell you.

    Xie Jiaqi noticed Mo Wenjie's serious expression. Does Wenjie have something going on?

    Mo Wenjie said: A family member of a liver cancer patient in Li City, Hunan Province, called me through a friend's introduction and asked me to help with the treatment. It's a matter of life and death, and there's no time to waste. I have to rush over to save the patient right now. I can't continue to accompany you, sorry!

    Xie Jiaqi said: Saving people is important. Hurry and buy a ticket, and don't worry about my affairs. Zheng Qigui and others have been arrested, and no one will pose a threat to me. You can rest assured!

    Mo Wenjie smiled and said goodbye to Xie Jiaqi and the others before boarding the flight to Li City.

    Mo Wenjie got off the plane, hailed a taxi to Li City People's Hospital, and walked into the hospital ward. "May I ask who is Qiu Shuzhen?"

    A young and beautiful girl walked up to him: Hello, Divine Doctor Mo. I am Qiu Shuzhen, and this is my father Qiu Tao, and my mother He Xuemei. My classmates introduced you to us as Divine Doctor Mo.

    Mo Wenjie said: Hello, Aunt and Uncle!

    He Xuemei hurriedly said: Hello, Divine Doctor Mo!

    Mo Wenjie looked at Qiu Tao and said with a smile, "Uncle Qiu, how do you feel?"

    Hearing this, Qiu Tao's eyes reddened. Tears had already welled up in his eyes, circling around, ready to fall at any moment. Divine Doctor Mo, no matter whether my illness is cured or not, I don't want to continue treatment. I just want to go home.

    Hearing this, both He Xuemei and Qiu Shuzhen started crying. Old Qiu, no matter how hard things get for us, we will find a way to treat your illness.

    Qiu Shuzhen, who was already crying, said to her father: "Dad, don't think about it too much. Just go ahead with the treatment. No matter what, we will never give up on you."

    Qiu Tao choked and said, "I know you are all good kids, but I can't let my illness burden you and your brother."

    Mo Wenjie was completely taken aback. He didn't know what the family was doing either. Uncle Qiu, what do you mean by that?

    Tears flowed down Qiu Tao's face as he said, "Our family is from a rural area. Our income is not high, and we barely make ends meet by relying on the income from farming and my long-term employment. We have no savings. When I was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, I underwent various treatments in the hospital, which cost nearly 100,000 yuan in just three months. These were all borrowed from family and friends. Although we had insurance, many expensive imported drugs were not covered by it. The medical expenses were beyond our means. As a result, our two children had to drop out of school because of my illness. Our son is nearly finished with his graduation, but he had to drop out to work in order to raise money for my treatment. Our daughter also had to drop out and work in order to help support the family. Their future prospects have been ruined because of my illness. Moreover, the money they earn from working is far from enough to cover the medical fees. If I continue treatment, it will only put more burden on them. I don't want to increase their burden unnecessarily."

    Hearing this, Qiu Shuzhen burst into tears and said, "Dad, don't worry about us. We must find a way to treat your illness no matter what. Even if we accumulate debts, it doesn't matter as long as we can see our father every day when we come home."

    Qiu Tao's tears were rolling down his cheeks as he said, "Girls, have you thought about it? By dropping out of school to save my life, you have already been far from happiness. Accumulating debts is like adding salt to the wound for your future. Your brother is 24, and you are 22. With hundreds of thousands of medical expenses to repay, how many years will it take? Do you not understand how much money it takes to get married now? If we were to pay off all our debts first and then save money for your brother's wedding, do you think that's realistic? By then, your brother will be middle-aged. I can't let my illness affect your futures."

    Qiu Ruifeng suddenly walked into the ward, tears streaming down his face. "Dad, even if I lead a lonely life, I will definitely give you treatment!"

    Mo Wenjie, seeing this scene before him, couldn't help but feel sorrow in his heart. The decline of traditional Chinese medicine has brought great suffering to the people. How many families struggle with the high medical bills due to advanced lung cancer? It's not that traditional Chinese medicine doesn't work, but the number of people who learn and promote it is too small. It's urgent to promote traditional Chinese medicine now. Many Chinese hospitals have been westernized, with pulse diagnosis just a formality and patients being issued prescriptions that include CT scans and MRIs. Is this still traditional Chinese medicine? It's clear that promoting traditional Chinese medicine is imperative.

    Qiu Tao choked up and said, "Children, don't be stubborn. There's an ancient saying in the Dragon Country: There are three forms of unfilial behavior, and the worst is having no descendants. Do you want to make me lose face before our ancestors?"

    Qiu Shuzhen's tears flowed without stopping as she said, "Dad, don't worry about us. Whatever the difficulties may be, we will definitely give you treatment."

    The expression on Qiu Tao's face was full of meaning. He silently thought to himself: If the children refused to listen to him and still insisted on treating him, the only way to make them give up was for him to commit suicide. Only then could he ensure that his children would finally accept his decision.

    Mo Wenjie looked at the family and said, "Don't be sad everyone. I can treat Uncle Qiu's illness, and I can even cure it completely."

    Qiu Shuzhen's tears stopped flowing, and she asked excitedly, "Can you really cure my father's illness, Divine Doctor Mo?"

    Mo Wenjie nodded and said, "I'm certain I can cure it completely."

    Qiu Tao asked, "Divine Doctor Mo, how much money will you need to cure my illness?"

    Qiu Ruifeng said, "As long as you can cure my father's illness, I will give you whatever it takes."

    Mo Wenjie shook his head and said, "I will treat Uncle Qiu's illness without taking a dime."

    The Qiu family, hearing this, stood there in a dazed silence, looking at Mo Wenjie.

    Qiu Tao and He Xuemei secretly thought to themselves: Is this Divine Doctor Mo really in love with our daughter? We've heard that she's still a school beauty. Our daughter is so beautiful, it's normal for Divine Doctor Mo to be attracted to her. If he can treat our illness for free and not burden Ruifeng's wedding, as long as our daughter also likes him, it would be okay to support their relationship.

    Qiu Tao looked at Mo Wenjie again and suddenly realized that this Divine Doctor Mo was indeed remarkable. He was young, handsome, and a skilled physician. This would make for a good match.

    He Xuemei secretly observed Mo Wenjie. The young man had a good-looking appearance and was capable, which wouldn't make her daughter suffer. She found herself liking him more and more with each passing glance.

    Qiu Shuzhen asked, "Divine Doctor Mo, what methods do you plan to use to treat my father's illness?"

    Mo Wenjie replied: Use acupuncture and herbal medicine.

    Qiu Ruifeng asked, "Is the herbal medicine effective?"

    Mo Wenjie said: I will first control the development of cancer cells with acupuncture, and then use herbal medicine to regulate the body. It will be effective soon.

    Qiu Ruifeng asked: Divine Doctor Mo, how long do you need to completely cure my father's illness?

    Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Due to the three months of treatment your father has undergone, his immunity has decreased. It will take a week to completely cure him. If detected and treated early, it can be cured completely in three days."

    Qiu family were shocked again and again by what Mo Wenjie just said.

    Qiu Tao asked: Divine Doctor Mo, you are treating me for free. Are you interested in my daughter?
