People were astounded, asking in disbelief, "How is this even possible? Severe burns miraculously healed? What secret is hidden in that mysterious ointment?"

Some guessed skeptically, "Is this even the same person?"

However, someone stated confidently, "Impossible! I've compared them carefully—it's definitely the same person! She's the cook from the food court in front of the mall. I was there that day, and I can tell you without a doubt, that's her!"

At that moment, Chen Zheng smiled. "It seems its effects are beyond imagination."

Li Hao was even more excited. "Bro, you've got to get some more of that! I want to get younger too and show the world what I'm made of!"

Li Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.

Chen Zheng shook his head with a smile and said earnestly, "Is being a 'pretty boy' that tempting? A real man should be confident and masculine, just like you are."

Li Hao laughed and playfully shot back, "Some friend you are!"

Chen Zheng stood up. "Alright, if there's nothing else, let's get you discharged. Don't stick around and become a celebrity."

"Alright, Qiao Qiao, let's go find Doctor Lin!"

Li Hao led Li Qiaoqiao toward the office.

At this moment, the livestream chat was on fire. "Folks, have you heard?" someone commented dramatically. "The maker of that ointment is a mysterious tycoon!"

"You guys get what this means?" another asked.

"Forget thinking, I'll pay five hundred for the tycoon's address!" someone bid.

"Have some self-respect! Your five hundred yuan will only buy you a smile. I'll bid five hundred and one—that's my entire living expense for the month. It's all I've got."

"Badass!"

"Totally badass!" another exclaimed.

Ignoring the frenzy in the livestream chat, the independent media members had already followed Li Hao and Li Qiaoqiao to the office. Everyone was eager for first-hand news, and no one wanted to miss this rare opportunity.

"What happened?" Lin Mo asked.

Just as Li Hao stepped into the office, Lin Mo immediately straightened up.

"Is it an infection? Take me to her, quickly!" Lin Mo said, already rising from his seat. But just then, Li Qiaoqiao quietly walked into the room.

Lin Mo froze, completely stunned.

"You... you're Li Qiaoqiao?" Lin Mo stammered, staring at her dumbfoundedly.

Even though Li Qiaoqiao hadn't had a chance to clean up, her fairy-like beauty was impossible to conceal.

"Yes, Doctor Lin. Thank you for taking care of me all this time," Li Qiaoqiao replied respectfully.

"Incredible! This is like a dream!" Lin Mo exclaimed, walking forward excitedly and reaching out to touch her cheek.

Li Hao quickly stepped in. "Doctor Lin, watch it!"

Lin Mo whirled around, snapping angrily, "Unhand me! I'm a doctor!"

Li Hao was taken aback. How dare you touch my girlfriend and then yell at me?

Luckily, Lin Mo only gently touched her face before withdrawing his hand.

"A miracle! This is just unbelievable! What on earth happened?!" Lin Mo's face was a mask of fervent disbelief as he pulled his hand back.

He had witnessed a medical miracle. Just five days ago, she had been covered in severe burns, her body a canvas of raw pain. Now, her wounds were completely healed, far faster than what could be achieved even with a skin graft from a top surgeon.

"By the way, that miraculous ointment... do you have any left? Could you spare a little for me? I want to study its secrets," Lin Mo asked, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Sorry, we used up all the ointment yesterday," Li Hao responded with regret.

"Then how about the leftover residue?" Lin Mo requested urgently.

"We washed it all off. It's lost its effectiveness and has been flushed down the drain," Li Hao admitted.

"AH!" Lin Mo cried out in dismay. His face darkened. "That's sacrilege! An absolute, criminal waste!"

Li Hao felt a vein throb in his temple and quickly changed the subject. "Doctor Lin, we'd like to process her discharge."

"Discharged? Alright, but about that miraculous ointment—" Lin Mo began, having regained some of his composure, but he was cut off by Li Hao's firm response.

"No!" Li Hao's answer was final.

"Fine..." Lin Mo sighed, walking over to his computer with a look of disappointment. "I'll process the discharge paperwork."

Li Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief as the tense atmosphere dissipated. He couldn't imagine how much crazier Lin Mo would have gotten if he knew the whole truth.

The livestream chat was buzzing again.

"Oh my god, viewers, did you see that? That's Doctor Lin Mo from Yun City First People's Hospital! The man has dual doctorates in biology and medicine, and even he's that shocked! This has to be real!"

"No more arguments, this is absolutely real! My god, an ointment like that actually exists!"

"Where are all those people who said the tycoon was stingy and only used some folk remedy on his friend? Show yourselves! I'm ready to shut you all down!"

The independent journalists trembled with excitement as they watched the view count skyrocket. In this day and age, traffic is money. Everyone there was congratulating themselves on their sharp instincts, grateful they had rushed to the hospital today.

Half an hour later, all the procedures were complete, and Chen Zheng, Li Hao, and Li Qiaoqiao left the hospital. Li Hao drove Zhao Gao's car, taking Li Qiaoqiao and Li Guangyuan with him. Chen Zheng drove back to his villa alone.

Meanwhile, news of the incident at the hospital exploded across the internet again. This time, with the earlier controversy laying the groundwork, the new videos went viral the moment they were uploaded. Instantly, the trending topic shifted from "folk remedy" to "miraculous divine medicine."

A video of the scene inside the hospital began to circulate, which cleverly included close-up shots that Chen Zheng had arranged.

"Oh my god, can it really heal severe burns?"

"No doubt about it! Wasn't Doctor Lin Mo's reaction convincing enough? The guy's a genius academic!"

"Does this mean my brother, who has those ghastly scars from being scalded by boiling water, finally has a chance to heal?"

"The poster above me sure is direct!"

"No, I'm talking about my real brother!"

"Yeah, yeah, we get it. Your 'brother'."

"..."

The fervor surrounding the burn incident escalated once more. The reversal was so swift it caught countless people completely off guard. The so-called experts were criticized so relentlessly they had nowhere to hide.

Meanwhile, a netizen with the ID "I_See_Pity" also broke into the third spot on the trending list.

Her headline read: "'The Most Venomous Heart Belongs to a Woman': The True Identity of 'I_See_Pity' Revealed."

With a simple click, her basic information appeared on the screen, alongside the famous video of her buying bags at the shop, as well as footage of her selecting medicinal materials in the market.
