Chapter 37: Basic Operation
Mo Fei conscientiously took Seventh Uncle's pulse. After observing, listening, questioning, and feeling, he said sheepishly, "Seventh Uncle, your illness…"
"I know, it's already deep in my bones, right?" Seventh Uncle didn't mind at all, saying with a chuckle.
Seeing Mo Fei's troubled expression, he was also helpless!
"Uh…" Mo Fei scratched his head awkwardly.
Even with his Lv3 medical skill, he could only diagnose Seventh Uncle with complete organ failure and a maximum of seven days to live, but as for how to treat him… he was completely at a loss!
"I should have known this outcome long ago!" Seventh Uncle shook his head and laughed, "Actually, I should be content. If it weren't for your parents' help back then, I would have died long ago."
"My parents saved you, Old Man?"
Mo Fei was a little curious.
"That's right! I was old friends with them!" Seventh Uncle nodded and said with a smile, "Their medical skills were extremely superb. My body has been maintained by them, which is why I've lasted until today. They were both good people, but alas, good people don't live long…"
Since Mo Fei, the son of the divine doctor couple who once had hope of curing him, also couldn't do anything about his illness, and after a brief reunion with Mo Fei, Seventh Uncle no longer wished to keep him.
Because of the existence of fantastical things like Taoist zombies, Mo Fei initially thought it would take a long time for Seventh Uncle to verify and believe what they said!
But unexpectedly, after only hearing it twice, Seventh Uncle immediately believed them and approved their claim for the detective competition prize money.
Then Seventh Uncle explained his relationship with Mo Fei's parents and asked Mo Fei to diagnose him again.
Because Mo Fei's parents had said before that his illness wasn't untreatable, it just required them to spend time researching a targeted medicine.
Unfortunately, later… coughing twice, Seventh Uncle said to the old woman serving beside him, "Sister Lin, bring me my checkbook."
With a 5 million U.S. dollar check in his pocket, Mo Fei and Mindy walked out of Seventh Uncle's inner residence.
"Mindy, did our parents really have a past with Seventh Uncle?" Mo Fei asked curiously.
"Dad and Mom knew many influential people back then, many of whom I don't know either, but Seventh Uncle should indeed have known them," Mindy rolled her eyes at Mo Fei helplessly. "Brother, those are your own biological parents. You don't know anything about them. Is that really okay?"
As soon as they walked out of Seventh Uncle's inner residence gate, Tang Ren came up to them, reaching out to grope Mo Fei, "Where's the money? Where's the money? Seventh Uncle gave you all the money, right?"
Mo Fei disgustedly avoided Tang Ren's paws and said, "The money is on me, a 5 million U.S. dollar check, but how do I give it to you now? Tear half of it for you?"
"Then give me the check to keep!" Tang Ren insisted.
"Are you sure?" Mo Fei looked at Tang Ren with a half-smile.
"I'm sure it's better for the check to stay with you!" Tang Ren nodded solemnly.
So Mindy nodded in satisfaction and put down the gun in her hand.
Tang Ren had no choice but to back down. He had seen Mindy confront the Taoist and the gangsters before. Dealing with him would be as easy as kneading dough, with no difficulty at all.
"Don't worry, we'll spend the night here at Seventh Uncle's Villa today. Tomorrow, when the bank opens, I'll transfer it directly to you."
Seventh Uncle's Villa, apart from his own inner residence, was open to Mo Fei and those who helped him find his grandson's killer to enjoy.
There were also dedicated staff providing food and Water.
"Don't forget, half of it is mine too." Mo Youqian, the old pervert who was flirting with the bikini-clad young ladies by the pool, had sharp ears and immediately came over when he heard about the money.
"I know! You get 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and Tang Ren and I will split the remaining 2.5 million U.S. dollars!" Mo Fei said generously, considering that the old pervert had genuinely saved their lives.
In fact, Mo Fei somewhat regretted this operation.
He originally thought that with his God's perspective, this was like picking up money from the ground.
Who knew that Old Taoist would suddenly appear halfway through, almost costing him his life.
If he had known earlier that it might endanger his and Mindy's lives, no matter how high the bounty, Mo Fei would never have taken Mindy to risk it!
Hearing Mo Fei's answer, Mo Youqian relaxed and went back to chat with the bikini-clad young ladies.
Morning.
"Don't forget, our 1.25 million U.S. dollars!" Tang Ren reminded.
"Isn't it just 1.25 million U.S. dollars I owe you? I'm not even anxious, why are you?" Mo Fei rolled his eyes, "Aren't we on our way to the bank now?"
"You're giving me a headache!"
"That's 1.25 million U.S. dollars! When have I ever seen so much money in my life!" Tang Ren fell into endless yearning.
"No ambition!" Qin Feng pouted.
"Old Qin, I'm your uncle, how dare you talk to me like that!" Tang Ren fumed.
"Cousin… cousin's!"
This uncle and nephew pair was toxic. Unless they encountered big trouble, they would definitely start arguing within moments of being together.
"Enough, stop arguing!"
Mindy flared up, like a tigress, immediately scaring Tang Ren and Qin Feng into silence.
Wells Fargo Bank.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Accompanied by a few muffled gunshots, several robbers wearing black stockings over their heads, with only their eyes exposed, rushed into the bank.
"Hands on your head and squat down! Everyone be honest with me."
The bank fell into chaos.
There were about seventy or eighty bank employees and customers, all of whom now became hostages of the robbers.
"Ah!!!" Startled, an unusually obese Black woman let out a piercing Sonic Art.
"Shut up!!" A strong man in black stockings slammed a gun butt hard on the Black woman's forehead and roared, "Old bitch, if you scream again, I'll blow your ass off with a shot!"
"Damn! To lay hands on even an old lady like that, is there no humanity left? Beasts!"
Tang Ren, hiding under a table, indignantly shouted.
"Keep your voice down!" Qin Feng nudged Tang Ren with his elbow, annoyed.
After a brief squabble with Qin Feng, Tang Ren complained, "Why am I so unlucky? I come to the bank to withdraw money and encounter robbers."
"Master, shouldn't your family from back home step in now?" Tang Ren leaned over to Mo Youqian and said.
Mo Youqian, also hiding under a table, pouted, "What are you talking about? Didn't you see so many people and so many guns here? If I were to act, I'd likely be shot to smithereens!"
"But Master, aren't you an Elder of the Sacred Land Kunlun? Shouldn't you step forward in such a situation?" How could Tang Ren believe that Mo Youqian was afraid of bullets? He was the Werewolf who single-handedly beat up the gangsters!
"I am not, I don't have, don't talk nonsense!"
"Calm down! This is just a basic operation here in the U.S.!" Mo Fei said calmly, "Don't worry."
"Brother, are your lives really this difficult?"
