Kang Zhi was flattered by Mo Li’s compliment. It was not often one would be praised by a genius.
“It’s not that difficult! This was the 4th book I attempted. I’ve always been lucky.”
“Yes, so lucky that you happened to be the murderer’s alibi.” Xiao Rui chided. Kang Zhi acted so differently when Xiao Rui praised him and when Mo Li raised him. This annoyed Xiao Rui.
So Flower Appraisal has custom-made the whole legend of henna murder, but why? Mo Li pondered. Based on her current observation, Flower Appraisal liked to use strange rituals to accompany their crimes. The strange thing was Mo Li noticed that all the bodies that she dissected had perfectly healthy organs. If they were not targeted by Flower Appraisal, they would have lived until over 100 years old. That was how healthy all those dead victims were… which was very strange, because what was the odds of that?
“Mo Li! Mo Li!” Xiao Rui had to call twice to rouse Mo Li from her thoughts. He had no idea what had engrossed her so. He asked, “What did you and Yu Xuan talk about when I was gone?”
Mo Li looked at him and answered, “I’m just a consultant so what can we talk about. Anyway, it’s getting late. I need to go home or my family will worry.” Mo Li stood up. Mo Li always used this method to deal with Xiao Rui.
When Mo Li reached home, she realized Ah Zhong and Rou Rou were there. When she was hospitalized, Ah Zhong had practically moved into their family. Little Rou Rou had claimed so many people’s hearts.
Mrs. Xiao was going on a holiday to unwind from the incident caused by Xiao Yue. She invited Jiang Yao to come with her. Somehow Rou Rou found out about this and he had been begging Jiang Yao to bring him with her. He would crawl into her laps and plead.
Quan Yu was still in a coma so Ah Si had taken the initiative to let Ah Zhong take a vacation so he could accompany his son.
At first, Jiang Yao didn’t approve of Rou Rou’s demand. They were going to the beach and she was afraid of the boy’s safety. Plus this vacation was for Mrs. Xiao to relax, Jiang Yao didn’t think bringing a boy and his father would help that.
However, Rou Rou wore them down after two days. Every day he would go around pleading with his pretty auntie and handsome daddy. Jiang Yao couldn’t resist the boy and eventually caved. She brought Ah Zhong to the mall to buy some swimwear for both the father and the son.
Mo Yi had gone overseas to work so there were only Mo Yun, Mo Li, Mo Zheng, and Qiao Qing at home. Without the two parents, the tension in the house was high.
…
It was already 3 am. Mo Yun massaged his temples. Recently the stock market was very unstable and he hadn’t rested in a long time already. Just as he planned to retire to bed, Mo Li knocked on his door and walked in. She placed a document before Mo Yun.
“A disclaimer?”
“That’s right. After you sign this, it means that you will not hold me responsible for anything that might happen to Mo Zheng during the surgery. It also means that you have approved of my method to cure him.”
Mo Yun looked at Mo Li. “What kind of doctor are you? You are going to risk your older brother’s life but you can’t guarantee he can be cured?” Mo Yun felt like Mo Li had been possessed by a witch. She showed her true form after their parents were gone.
Mo Li crossed her arms. “I am just human, how can I guarantee everything will go without a hitch? Plus I am just acting like how a normal doctor would. I can perform the surgery on Mo Zheng’s legs but I cannot guarantee a 100 percent success rate. Plus we both know his physical condition doesn’t really allow for surgery yet.”
The best surgical solution was to use a 3d-printed femur made from titanium alloy or polyether ketone as an orthopedic implant. She also considered Harkin alloy or pure zirconium, but that would reduce the surgery’s success rate.
Without waiting for Mo Yun’s answer, Mo Li turned and left.
Lu Xuan was waiting for her to attend the meeting. He had gathered several medical experts to help with Mo Zheng’s leg surgery.
“Ol’ Lu, are you kidding? This girl is a doctor?”
“Are you sure she’s capable?”
“If I knew this beforehand, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this surgery.”
“How much bribe you’ve taken from her?”
