Old Mu asked curiously, "Madam, what is this Hundred Day Pill the Professor is talking about?"
Shen Qingqing put her phone in her pocket. "The Hundred Day Pill is a medicine researched by the Poison Doctor. It's neither poison nor medicine. If taken with a specific medicine, it can kill a person. But if taken alone, it can detoxify all poisons, and even a cancer patient on the verge of death can extend their life by a hundred days by taking one."
Hence, it was named the Hundred Day Pill.
Old Mu gasped in amazement, "It's so miraculous. Such a good thing, the other party probably won't be willing to give it to us."
He still didn't know that Shen Qingqing had a good relationship with the Poison Doctor and was genuinely worried.
He had heard of this Poison Doctor's name but had never interacted with him.
Fu Jingshu looked at Shen Qingqing and asked softly, "Such a precious item, can he give it?"
"I'll ask."
Shen Qingqing was actually confident. The old man had always been generous to her. However, this Hundred Day Pill was the old man's painstaking effort, so she couldn't give a definitive answer immediately.
She dialed the number. The ringtone rang for a long time, and the voice on the other end sounded a little sleepy and tired.
"It's my girl. Is everything going smoothly since you returned to the country?"
"It's okay." Shen Qingqing didn't just report the good news to the old man. "To be honest, I've encountered a problem now."
"Tell me, is there anything I can help with?"
"Someone I know here has gotten into some trouble and needs the famous Professor Liao from the medical field to save them..."
The old man understood, "So you want me to help you contact that old man?"
"I've already contacted him," Shen Qingqing said.
The old man thought for a moment and understood, "So this old man knows about your relationship with me and is deliberately setting a difficult task to trouble you?!"
Shen Qingqing hummed in agreement.
The old man snorted, "I knew it, this old immortal would definitely make things difficult for you! What impossible request did he make that is making you hesitate?"
Shen Qingqing was silent for a moment.
The old man felt something was wrong. "Can you be so hesitant about something? Is he asking you to break off relations with me?"
Shen Qingqing quickly said, "No, he wouldn't make such a request, as he knows I can't possibly do it. He's asking for something you have."
"The Hundred Day Pill?"
The old man's tone suddenly became strange.
Shen Qingqing, not understanding why, could only tell the truth, "I know this is too difficult for you, as the Hundred Day Pill is the culmination of all your efforts..."
"This shameless old man!" the old man roared in anger. "He was rejected by me before, but he's still not giving up and has set his sights on you!"
"He mentioned it to you before?" Shen Qingqing was surprised.
"Yes." The old man was displeased when he mentioned this. "That old immortal always opposes me. After seeing that I researched the Hundred Day Pill, he also wanted a piece of the pie. I would absolutely not give it to him! I refused him outright at the time. After that, this old immortal didn't contact me, and I thought he had given up."
He didn't expect him to be waiting for him here.
Shen Qingqing turned and walked to the window, looking at the traffic on the road. "Old man, don't trouble yourself. If you really don't want to give him the Hundred Day Pill, then forget it. I'll think of other ways."
The old man, who had been complaining, immediately said, "What are you saying? It's just a pill. If I give it, I'll research another one later. I still have decades to live, and I'll be able to research a second one!"
Shen Qingqing was surprised. "Old man..."
"Alright, I'll mail it to you. It might take some time, though. Tell that old man to wait a bit." The old man was decisive. As soon as he hung up the phone, he took out the pill he had hidden.
Shen Qingqing stared at her phone for a while before smiling.
Old Mu asked, confused, "Madam, what did he say?"
Shen Qingqing didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Fu Jingshu and slowly smiled.
Fu Jingshu's lips curved slightly, his demeanor exceptionally handsome.
The two smiled in perfect sync, as if some unspoken message was being conveyed between their eyes. Old Mu watched, completely bewildered.
However, he was also an intelligent person. Seeing their calm demeanor and uplifted spirits, he knew their mood was good, and it must have worked out.
"Madam, do you need me to do anything?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head. "You just need to ensure Dr. Gao's personal safety."
"Okay."
Shen Qingqing made a call to Liao Wenbo.
Liao Wenbo was very surprised. "That stubborn old man actually agreed?"
He hadn't expected the old man to agree at all and thought his request was equivalent to a refusal. He didn't expect her to succeed.
"How did you do it? I know you two know each other, but is he that good to you?"
"Professor Liao, I don't think that's any of your business." Shen Qingqing didn't want to answer. She had a poor impression of this opportunistic old man. "I've fulfilled the promise I made to you. Now, I'm just waiting for the item to arrive in the country. I can send you the logistics tracking information promptly. Can you start heading to China now?"
"No rush. I'll set off after I confirm the item is in your hands." Liao Wenbo, being older, was also more cunning. "Otherwise, how can I be sure you won't trick me with fake logistics tracking? My old bones can't handle this journey easily."
Shen Qingqing's expression turned cold. "Then how can you be sure the pill is truly in my hands?"
"I'll video call you then."
Shen Qingqing was so amused she nearly laughed. "You can wait, but my patient can't."
"This..."
Although Liao Wenbo was cunning, he wasn't so heartless as to disregard a life. "How about this, email me the patient's scans and detailed medical records."
After reviewing the information, he provided a detailed treatment plan, analyzed the condition, and even held a video conference with the heads of various departments at the hospital.
The final conclusion was that surgery was not suitable at the moment. The patient needed to recover autonomously for a period. If the blood clot could dissolve on its own, surgery would be unnecessary. However, if drug treatment failed, then surgery would be performed.
Shen Qingqing had some understanding of Western medicine and knew he was right. However, such a complex surgery could only be performed by Liao Wenbo.
This was because the blood clot was pressing on the nerves, requiring extremely delicate and mature surgical skills. While doctors at this hospital could perform it, the success rate was not as high as Liao Wenbo's.
Finally, Shen Qingqing agreed. "I'll send you a video call as soon as the item arrives. I hope you'll keep your word then, otherwise, this Hundred Day Pill..."
She glanced at Dr. Gao and sneered.
"I'll give it to this patient."
"That's a terrible waste!" Liao Wenbo was so angry he could barely speak clearly. "This pill isn't for his condition. It can't dissolve the blood vessels in his brain. Taking it will only improve his physical condition. I don't believe that after learning so much from that old man, you wouldn't understand this."
