Lin Yang once saved his wife at the cost of his own legs, only to be met with heartless betrayal, plunging him into an abyss.
Yet heaven did not let him perish, as he acquired the legacy of a...
Upon hearing this, the attention of the numerous doctors and reporters who had been surrounding Ouyang Jianfei was immediately drawn to him.
Everyone's expression turned strange without prior notice.
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.
Even a fool could guess that this was Liu Baohua's doing again.
What happened abroad became a trending topic on Chinese social media in less than half an hour and even reached the attention of international aid centers. How could it have happened so quickly if someone hadn't deliberately maintained the speed of dissemination?
"Lin Yang, I know you're unhappy about being outshone by the Chinese Medicine Clinic, but if you're not as skilled, you have to accept it. You don't need to risk patients' lives just to steal the limelight from the Chinese Medicine Clinic, do you?"
"Alright, let's not dwell on these unpleasant things. Come, let me introduce you. This is the old gentleman you just arguing with, Ouyang Jianfei, a leading figure in Western medicine and a long-time partner of Ankang Pharmaceutical."
Liu Baohua's voice was even louder than usual, as if he was afraid that someone present wouldn't be able to hear him.
Lin Yang's lips twitched twice.
What does it mean to "not mention these unpleasant things anymore"?
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Only Liu Baohua was jumping around like a monkey; it was hard to tell if he was genuinely stupid or just pretending.
Ouyang Jianfei's disdain for traditional Chinese medicine is an open secret in the industry. Where does Liu Baohua get the confidence to use his connections to get Ouyang Jianfei to "make an exception" for the Chinese Medicine Clinic?
"Explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by saying I'm playing with patients' lives?"
Lin Yang originally wanted to go to the infectious disease ward to see the patients as soon as possible, and did not want to waste time dealing with Liu Baohua.
But since Liu Baohua has taken the initiative, he will have to meet him.
Do you really think he's easy to bully?
"Oh, are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"
Liu Baohua smiled broadly.
"It's all over the internet, Lin Yang. Netizens have discerning eyes. Do you think I would wrongly accuse you?"
"Exactly, the facts are right in front of us, yet we're still being stubborn."
"How did this kind of person manage to get registered for international aid? He's using human lives as a bargaining chip for fame and fortune. Lin Yang doesn't deserve to be called a doctor, and he doesn't deserve to be our colleague."
"So young, what achievements can he possibly have in traditional Chinese medicine? Does he really think he can compete with our Zhonghua Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic?"
"It was clearly Mr. Ouyang who saved the person, yet he still insists on charging the patient money. How can there be such disgusting scum in the world!"
Nearby, rescue workers from the Chinese Medicine Clinic and various countries and regions began to discuss the matter, their eyes filled with even more disgust as they looked at Lin Yang. Some even rolled up their sleeves, ready to use force to vent their anger.
Ouyang Jianfei remained silent, showing no intention of intervening.
Even though he was less than a meter away from Lin Yang when the incident happened, and even though he knew the whole truth, he didn't want to stand up and say a word for Lin Yang, letting Liu Baohua distort the truth.
He glanced at Lin Yang sideways, a condescending smile on his lips.
Having finally gained fame both at home and abroad, how could he let a mere young upstart ruin his reputation?
Seeing Liu Baohua and Ouyang Jianfei's smug faces, Lin Yang clenched his fists inwardly.
Before setting off, he had anticipated that this trip to Southeast Asia would be fraught with danger.
He never expected that God would give him such a big surprise right away.
Not only did Liu Baohua respond sharply, but then this old man seeking fame and fortune also appeared.
In this situation, even if he talks himself hoarse, no one will believe him.
"Alright, it seems Mr. Lin Yang is unwilling to chat with us, so let's not force him."
Liu Baohua laughed, thoroughly enjoying the pleasure of trampling Lin Yang under his feet, and continued, "Mr. Lin Yang is unsociable, and there's nothing I can do about it. It just so happens that the number of dormitory places allocated to the rescue team is limited this time, and there is one less dormitory bed than the number of rescue team members, so let Lin Yang find a place to sleep outside!"
What?
Lin Yang's heart tightened.
Is the international rescue center short one dormitory bed?
How is that possible!
The organizers checked the number of people before departure and wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Could it be that Liu Baohua made this up on purpose?
"Lin Yang, the hygiene conditions in hotels outside are not as good as those in our International Rescue Center. You must wear a mask and disinfect yourself with alcohol. Don't end up in our emergency center's bed one day!"
"However, Lin Yang, if you can kneel down now and apologize to me and Mr. Ouyang Jianfei, admitting your serious mistake of disregarding the patient's life, then I might consider adding an extra bed to my room."
"Actually, the toilets in the International Rescue Center dormitory are quite spacious. You can just sleep on the floor there!"
When Liu Baohua presented this flower, the entire audience burst into laughter.
Lin Yang's gaze grew even colder.
"Ridiculous. Why should I apologize for something I didn't do?"
His gaze swept over the crowd with neither arrogance nor servility, and for the first time, he found their white coats so jarring.
"If I hadn't intervened at the airport in time, the death toll from this infectious disease would probably have been one more."
"You say that the middle-aged woman was saved by Mr. Ouyang. Well then, may I ask Mr. Ouyang, what treatment method did you use, and what principles did you employ to restore the patient's health?"
What's real can't be made fake, and what's fake can't be made real.
Lin Yang refused to believe it.
Even if the other side has a large number of people, can they really distort the truth in front of everyone at the airport?
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jianfei's expression changed.
Whether he made a move or not, he himself knows best.
"Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria and fungi, so of course I would use specific antibiotics to treat the patient..."
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Ouyang Jianfei's forehead, but he quickly regained his composure.
Having roamed the world for so many years, he's seen it all.
"Really? But before that, local doctors had also tried effective antibiotics. As far as I know, there is currently no drug that can be used for emergency treatment of infectious disease patients."
Lin Yang stared at the tree-man in front of him, pressing closer step by step.
"I would like to ask Mr. Ouyang, which specific type of special antibiotic are you referring to?"
"..."
Ouyang Jianfei's expression darkened further, and Liu Baohua also sensed something was wrong.
But at this very moment, all the other medical staff who were unaware of the truth joined in the commotion.
"Speaking of which, I'm also very curious. Did Mr. Ouyang invent a new special medicine?"
"Then this epidemic will be easily solved, right? Mr. Ouyang, please tell us the formula for the new effective drug, and we will prepare it in batches right away. Okay, let the patients take it!"
"Hmph, Lin Yang dares to question Old Master Ouyang's medical skills? Let him see what he's made of!"
Lin Yang smiled too.
"Yes, let me take a look at it."
It would be strange if they could even produce it.
What does it mean to dig a hole for yourself?
That's it.
Since you've lauded yourself for successfully saving a patient and enjoyed the fame and fortune that come with it, you must bear the weight of that laurel!
