Chapter 620 : Web Comic Volume (20): Other than Cheng Juan, Only Qin Ran Can Control Kenneth
“You mean this is the Medical Organization’s medicine?” Butler Mu quickly reacted and looked at Director Hao in shock.
Two days ago, Director Hao had said that Old Master Mu’s illness couldn’t be cured and could only be suppressed.
However, most of the medicines needed were experimental medicines in Continent M.
He didn’t have much time left, — Old Master Mu only had a few months left — so he must find a way to extend his life for as long as possible.
Now, only two families in Beijing had associations with Continent M in China. As for Shanghai, even the Liu family didn’t have a way out, let alone their Mu family.
Director Hao’s family wasn’t prominent in Shanghai, but his medical skills were superb and famous, so the Liu family treated him very politely. He was limited to a certain number of consultations every day. But even so, Old Master Mu had been scheduled three months later. The fact that Mu Zining had made Director Hao allow for an exception for Old Master Mu’s checkup ahead of time was one of the reasons why the Mu family was so surprised.
But now...
The experimental drug that even Director Hao could hardly obtain was the health supplements in Mu Nan’s hands??
“Yes, I recognize this sign. Old Master Mu, can you give me a pill for our hospital to study?” Director Hao looked at Old Master Mu.
The domestic medical technology and equipment were far inferior to that of Continent M.
In recent years, two domestic geniuses from the Medical Organization had gradually put the domestic medicine field on the right track.
Director Hao was getting older, and, though his medical skills had reached a high level in China, he still couldn’t meet the standards of professors in the Medical Organization, nor could he enter the Medical Organization as a student.
This time, it was only thanks to those two people that he had the opportunity to exchange and study at the Medical Organization for half a month.
In the past half month, he had gained a wide range of knowledge. The Medical Organization had classifications, and he naturally knew that several top old professors in the laboratory would study various experimental drugs.
Some of these laboratories wouldn’t be officially invested in hospitals because of the high development price.
When Director Hao visited the first laboratory, the guiding student had introduced this experimental drug, but it had been locked in the window, and Director Hao could only take a look at it.
Although he didn’t touch those experimental drugs, he still remembered the signs of such experimental drugs in the Medical Organization.
It was the same as this bottle.
Old Master Mu suppressed his shock and said as always, “Of course.”
It was just that his voice was slightly stiff.
“Thank you.” Director Hao had always acted normally to the Mu family, and his attitude towards them was no different from other people.
He was very enthusiastic at this moment and even asked the head nurse to bring a name card to Old Master Mu. “Old Master Mu, this is my personal number. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to contact me.”
Then, the director of the hospital’s pharmaceutical department came to get the medicine.
“It turned out to be the experimental drug of the Medical Organization’s First Laboratory. Isn’t this the laboratory that Mr. Gu was in before...” The director and several major physicians all approached Director Hao.
The group of people discussed heatedly.
Having been excluded, the Mu family members exchanged glances.
Especially Butler Mu and Old Master Mu.
When Mu Nan had come in with a plastic bag previously, Butler Mu thought that the bottle of medicine was a normal health supplement and hadn’t cared too much about it. Compared with this medicine, Old Master Mu was more concerned about Mu Nan’s cousin accepting his gift. She had even returned the gift, indicating the change of outlook on him.
Who knew that now...
They could feel the change in Director Hao and the others’ attitudes towards Old Master Mu.
In the end, Director Hao personally sent Old Master Mu out.
The Mu family felt a little flattered to be sent out by the highly respected Director Hao himself.
“Elder Mu, you should know that we had a meeting this morning. It was a special speech by Mr. Gu. He has been in Shanghai recently.” Director Hao had forgotten about this matter because of the experimental drug. He thought about it and said, “If possible... No, forget it.”
“Mr. Gu?” Elder Mu glanced at him.
Director Hao explained, “Mr. Gu is a closed disciple of the dean of the Medical Organization, who has two closed disciples. He’s second to none in cell virology.”
After sending off Old Master Mu, the director of the pharmaceutical department spoke with obvious surprise, “This Mu family can actually obtain the experimental drug from the First Laboratory. I heard that these drugs are extremely popular with several forces in Continent M and are very limited in quantity. With the experimental drug in their hands, if they can invite Mr. Gu as well, then Old Master Mu’s illness might not be hopeless, after all.”
Director Hao shook his head. Mr. Gu had been concentrating on scientific research these days and had just developed a living enzyme. Hence, he had been cooped up in the laboratory, and mostly only received intractable disease discussion groups from several domestic hospitals.
It was too difficult to invite him.
This was also why he hadn’t continued asking Elder Mu just now.
The director of the pharmaceutical department also thought so casually.
...
Sitting in the car, the Mu family still felt like they were dreaming.
Having met Qin Ran and Cheng Mu, Butler Mu already felt like these were still acceptable, but the most unacceptable thing was Mu Zongxi.
In his eyes, Mu Nan was an ordinary person with no fighting capacity, so Mu Zongxi hadn’t cared much that such a person had robbed him of his inheritance and returned home.
But now...
Butler Mu and Old Master Mu were both speechless.
Everyone sat quietly in the car.
At 8 pm, Mu Nan came to the Mu family’s house to discuss the memorial ceremony of Mu Zongyuan’s death. This was the first time Mu Nan was present, and Old Master Mu wanted to continue discussing with him.
As soon as Mu Nan entered, he could feel most of the Mu family staring at him.
A white medicine bottle was solemnly placed on the table.
“Xiao Nan, your cousin’s drug...” Old Master Mu glanced at him.
Looking at their expressions, Mu Nan figured out that both Qin Ran and Gu Xichi were playing tricks, so he said slowly with a casual expression, “It’s the health supplement that my cousin gave me. I don’t know where she bought it from, either.”
Mu Nan skillfully deflected the problem and didn’t say much else about Qin Ran and Gu Xichi.
Mu Zongxi slightly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
It should have been a mistake, or Mu Nan wouldn’t be taking it so lightly. Now that Old Master Mu was about to make a will, if Mu Nan really had any abilities, he wouldn’t remain silent and not seek benefits for himself.
But even so, some members of the Mu family had already been shaken, and their views of Mu Nan had changed for the better.
This could be seen from Mu Nan’s seating.
While sitting quietly and eating dinner, Mu Nan’s phone rang. He looked down at it and saw that it was Ning Wei.
Everyone on the table was watching his movements, and it would be too deliberate to pick up the phone outside.
He picked up directly without going out. “Mom.”
“Have you checked it?” On the other end of the phone, Ning Wei was silent for a while before asking.
“Yes, we’ll go to the cemetery tomorrow... Come and join us.” Mu Nan pursed his lips and put down his chopsticks, his eyelashes drooping.
Mu Nan had always known what was gnawing at Ning Wei’s heart. When she had dropped out of high school to work, he had discovered her chemistry doctorate diploma in his grandma’s belongings.
Compared to Beijing, she was even more resistant to Shanghai.
After a long while, Ning Wei said, “I’ll think about it. Take care of yourself.”
Mu Nan calmly hung up. Everyone at the table, including Old Master Mu, had heard him calling “Mom”. Old Master Mu ate a piece of vegetable and pondered for a moment before asking, “Your mom is coming to see Zongyuan tomorrow?”
Mu Nan nodded slightly. He understood Ning Wei well and knew that she would definitely come.
“Butler Mu, go and buy a ticket for Madam Ning.” Old Master Mu nodded without asking much else.
It was the summer vacation, and lots of people came to the popular tourist spots in Shanghai on vacation. At this time, it was almost impossible to book a ticket for Shanghai.
Tickets could only be booked three days later.
“You should have told your mom earlier. It’s more troublesome now...” After dinner, Old Master Mu glanced at Mu Nan. “I’ll see if there’s anyone in Beijing...”
Ning Wei wouldn’t make it in time.
After talking about the memorial service, Mu Nan got up and bid farewell to Old Master Mu. “I won’t trouble you with the ticket.”
Cheng Mu had said he had a way.
“There’s also the upcoming summit, so several trains have been suspended, and non-local trains were also restricted. Tell your mom not to worry, it’s fine if she comes two days later,” Old Master Mu said.
The Shanghai Summit had come too suddenly, and Mu Zining had said a few days ago that Shanghai was now tightly controlled in all aspects of travel.
They would never be able to buy a ticket at the last minute.
Mu Nan nodded and said nothing.
...
On the other side.
Cheng Mu had already told Cheng Juan about the ticket.
After putting the test tube in and seriously wiping his hands with disinfectant, Cheng Juan asked, “Little Aunt is coming? Let Cheng Jin arrange her travel.”
Nodding, Cheng Mu took out his cell phone and informed Mu Nan about the arrangement.
This wasn’t considered a big deal at all. Since it was regarding Ning Wei, even if Cheng Juan hadn’t given consent, Cheng Jin would still have made arrangements. Cheng Mu had only come to inform Cheng Juan that Ning Wei was coming to Shanghai.
Qin Ran’s Little Aunt coming to Shanghai was no small matter.
And the summit was coming as well, so Cheng Mu naturally had to be careful. If Qin Ran had nothing else to do tomorrow, he would prepare to pick Ning Wei up himself. If she was busy, he would let the Liu family pick her up.
“The flight is at 7 am tomorrow, and she’ll arrive at the airport at about 9 am. I’ll arrange for someone to pick her up.” After receiving the ticket information, Cheng Mu forwarded it to Mu Nan and then talked business with Cheng Juan. “Master Juan, you’ll be meeting a few people from several continents tomorrow. The summit will be keeping you busy for now, but at the same time, the Liu family still has contacts with Kenneth for talks.”
Cheng Juan had come to Shanghai this time not just to accompany Qin Ran, but also to revive Shanghai’s economic lifeline. Cheng Jin had chosen the Liu family.
Tapping his fingers on the table absent-mindedly, Cheng Juan thought for a while and said, “Follow Miss Qin to the Liu family’s house tomorrow.”
In the whole of Shanghai, apart from Cheng Juan, only Qin Ran could control Kenneth.
Cheng Mu also knew that. However...
Would the Liu family believe Miss Qin?
