Chapter 446: He Gave Way Too Much

After finishing the meal, Zhou Qiaoqiao was surprised to find that the wound on her finger had completely vanished.

If she hadn't seen the tissues thrown into the trash can that were originally used to wipe the bloodstains on the floor, she might have thought the scene of cutting her finger was just a dream.

"My hand really didn't leave any scar!" Zhou Qiaoqiao said excitedly, holding out her hand.

Hearing that, Xu Mo instinctively glanced at Zhou Qiaoqiao's previously injured hand and indeed found, just as she said, the wound was gone.

In the time it took to eat a meal, the wound had fully healed with no scar at all.

Even though the cut on Zhou Qiaoqiao's hand wasn't deep and wasn't a serious injury, it was still enough to astonish anyone.

The fact that the wound fully healed within a single meal already shows how domineering the effect of the Golden Scar Pill, a System Reward given to Xu Mo, is.

Normally, a scratched finger takes at least three to five days to fully heal, but the Golden Scar Pill shrank that period to half an hour.

Of course, the most impressive thing isn't shortening the healing time, but leaving absolutely no scar at all!

"There really isn't any… Xu Mo, what's that folk remedy of yours? So powerful?"

"Do you have the formula for that pill?" An Youyi, whose business sense was sharp, looked at Xu Mo: "This is a business opportunity; there's currently no drug on the market that can completely remove scars. If we launch this medicine now, we should make a lot of money."

In just this short time, An Youyi had already thought of many possible applications for this medicine.

"The formula… I don't have it either."

Xu Mo shook his head.

The System Reward gave him only finished pills, just a hundred of them, and he doesn't intend to sell them one by one.

Xu Mo is now a small shareholder of the oil company, receiving a substantial dividend each year, so he doesn't need money; there's no need to make money by selling the pills.

He plans to keep the remaining Golden Scar Pills for himself so he can use them when needed; if he sold them all, he wouldn't have any when a real need arises.

……

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, two weeks had gone by.

In those two weeks, no major cases occurred, only a few petty thefts; the System Reward for catching these low‑difficulty criminals was merely monetary, with no special bonuses.

Early that morning, Xu Mo went to the Police Station for his usual shift.

However, as soon as he arrived at the Police Station, he saw a familiar figure at the entrance: the uncle from the recent arson case.

The uncle had come to the Police Station specifically to wait for Xu Mo.

Beside the uncle stood a woman with very fair, tender skin.

"Officer Xu!" The moment he saw Xu Mo, the uncle rushed over, holding a Brocade Banner in his hand.

"Officer Xu, the medicine you gave me last time was truly miraculous! My daughter had just been transferred from the Sterile Ward to a regular ward, so I gave her the pills you gave me; in less than a week she fully recovered… Daughter, come over and let Officer Xu see!"

Saying that, the uncle waved his hand toward the young woman.

She returned the gesture with a grateful expression.

After taking the pills Xu Mo gave, not only were her scars removed, but the burned skin became even whiter and more supple—a blessing in disguise.

"Is this your daughter?" Xu Mo asked the woman with some surprise. "The recovery looks pretty good."

To be honest, when he first saw the woman, Xu Mo almost didn't recognize her; he had reviewed her file during the investigation and knew what she looked like.

He hadn't expected that after taking the Golden Scar Pill, the recovery would be so excellent—no scars at all, and her skin condition improved dramatically.

"Yes, yes, yes, the recovery is great; we owe it to you, Officer Xu! Officer Xu, I prepared a Brocade Banner for you!" Saying so, the uncle unfolded the banner, held it with both hands, and handed it to Xu Mo.

The banner read: Hua Tuo Reborn, Skillful Hands Revive!

"Good heavens, I'm a guy who knows nothing about medicine, and now I'm Hua Tuo Reborn!" Xu Mo couldn't help but feel a bit stunned.

It was during work hours, and a crowd of curious officers had gathered at the Police Station entrance.

"What's going on? Why are they bringing a banner? What does it say on the banner?"

"Looks like 'Hua Tuo Reborn, Skillful Hands Revive'… Could it be that Team Leader Xu also knows medicine?"

"Having many skills doesn't hurt; it's normal—our Team Leader Xu can even fly a plane, so a bit of medical knowledge is nothing. Besides, didn't you forget that Team Leader Xu does autopsies? Forensic doctors are also doctors, so it's perfectly normal."

"Wait… why does that uncle look familiar? He seems to be someone involved in that recent arson case."

"That girl also looks familiar; does she look like the victim from the arson case?"

"Impossible, didn't she get disfigured?"

"No, she really looks a lot like her! Hold on, I'll fetch the case file; it has photos of the victim before she was burned."

……

"By the way, I'm not just here to give you a banner this time…" The uncle patted his pocket and pulled out a bank card.

"This card holds one million; it's the money my spouse and I saved all our lives, originally intended as a dowry for our daughter… After discussing with my daughter, we both agreed that we should give this money to you. It's not a huge sum, but we hope you won't reject it."

He came not only to deliver the banner but also to give money.

When Xu Mo first gave him the pills at the hospital, he didn't take any money; Xu Mo said the daughter could take them first, and they could pay later after seeing the results.

Now that the uncle has witnessed the pills' effect, he didn't hesitate to bring most of his family's assets as a reward for Xu Mo.

"The PIN is stuck on the back of the card," the uncle said as he forced the card into Xu Mo's pocket. "Oh, by the way… we met someone at the hospital who, after learning about the pill's wonders, insisted I ask Officer Xu if any pills remain; he wants to buy one. He's already outside."

Xu Mo didn't refuse the bank card; seeing how well the woman recovered, he fully realized the power of the Golden Scar Pill—one million per pill was actually a bargain.

However, upon learning that someone else wanted to buy the Golden Scar Pill, Xu Mo outright refused: "I don't have many pills left; tell him I won't…"

Before he could finish speaking, a stout middle‑aged man ran up to Xu Mo.

He first glanced at the uncle, then at Xu Mo: "You must be Officer Xu! May I ask, do you still have that pill? I'd like to buy one; I'll pay thirty million."

Xu Mo: "??!!!"

Seeing Xu Mo not agree, the middle‑aged man gritted his teeth and held up two more fingers: "Fifty million!"

Hearing that, Xu Mo forced the words "I won't sell" that were about to leave his mouth back down.

He originally didn't want to sell, but the offer was just too generous…
