Lin Yang quickly caught him and shook his head to indicate that he didn't need these things.

"If you really want to thank me, do me a favor."

"you say!"

The short soldier nodded without hesitation.

He originally thought Lin Yang would ask for some money or valuables, or that he would ask Lin Yang to plead with the leaders to provide him with a dormitory room at the International Rescue Center.

But what Lin Yang blurted out wasn't for his own sake—

"I plan to distribute these traditional Chinese medicines to residents in the surrounding area who have contracted the disease."

"There are so many patients, I can't handle it all by myself, can you lend a hand?"

At this point, the short soldier's previous prejudice against Lin Yang completely disappeared, leaving only deep respect.

...

The two men, one carrying Chinese medicine and the other carrying medicinal herbs, went door to door along the street.

Things are progressing more smoothly than expected.

This is also thanks to Jackson, the short soldier from earlier, who was the third patient Lin Yang cured after arriving in Southeast Asia.

If Lin Yang were to go door-to-door providing free medical consultations alone, most local residents would likely refuse because of his less-than-stellar reputation and his foreign appearance.

But now that Lin Yang was standing next to a man in military uniform, his level of trustworthiness immediately increased.

"Hello, this bowl contains a medicinal soup made by Lin Yang, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Huaxia. As long as you drink it, the symptoms of the infectious disease will be relieved. If you continue to take the medicine according to the prescription, you will recover in half a month."

"Please believe me, I recovered after drinking this bowl of medicine. I can guarantee the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine."

At one of the houses, Jackson, holding a bowl of black medicine, reverently explained the contents to the residents.

Not far away, a dense sound of footsteps rose.

Jackson sensed something was wrong and immediately stepped forward nervously, shielding Lin Yang behind him. He stared warily in the direction the sound came from.

"Mr. Lin Yang, the army has indeed sent men. It must have been Karen, who was with me when we drove you away, who summoned them. You should leave first, and whatever you do, don't let them catch you!"

There was already a lot of resentment towards Lin Yang within the military, and now that he has been distributing drugs without authorization, the military has caught him red-handed and will certainly not let him off easily.

Jackson was extremely nervous, but Lin Yang didn't take the rapidly approaching army to heart at all.

What's there to be afraid of?

It's just a hundred or so people, isn't it?

"Lin Yang, the head of the rescue center has clearly warned you not to appear within our country's borders. You have ignored this serious warning and disrupted security and order. According to the law, you should be imprisoned for ten or eight years!"

When Karen saw Lin Yang and Jackson, she was like a falcon that had spotted its prey; her spirits immediately lifted.

Today, he will rid the country of this scourge!

"Brothers, do you see this? A quack doctor who harms our people, a foolish traitor—today we must bring them to justice to prevent them from continuing their evil deeds!"

"yes!"

Behind them, more than eighty well-trained soldiers rushed forward, each one eager to fight, their eyes filled with hatred as they looked at Lin Yang and Jackson.

Thanks to Liu Baohua's embellishment, Lin Yang was now seen by them as no different from a criminal who attempted murder.

Just then, Lin Yang's gaze suddenly caught two familiar figures among the group of soldiers.

Oh ho?

That's interesting.

Liu Baohua and Ouyang Jianfei stood side by side at the very back of the army, looking on with anticipation as they waited to witness Lin Yang being bound hand and foot and taken to prison.

Reporter Wang was also beside them.

The camera, like a dark gun barrel, was pointed at Lin Yang, transmitting the footage to the live streaming platform in real time.

Lin Yang's gaze was as cold as an iceberg.

Are you in such a hurry to ruin his reputation?

That's perfect, let's see who ends up disgraced and ruined in the end!

What are you doing?

Jackson spread his arms wide, forming a starfish shape to block Lin Yang's way, and hurriedly explained to the army.

“You’ve all misunderstood Mr. Lin Yang. He wasn’t lying when he said he had a way to cure the infection. I just drank the medicine he gave me, and I felt much better in less than three minutes.”

It was precisely because he had personally experienced it that Jackson was able to confidently distribute the medicine prepared by Lin Yang to the nearby residents, bowl by bowl. Otherwise, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

“Jackson, I know you don’t want to be accused of treason, but you don’t need to use such a clumsy lie as an excuse, do you?”

Before Jackson could finish speaking, Karen interrupted him with a cold laugh.

What effects can be achieved by boiling certain flowers and herbs into a decoction?

They probably knew they were in deep trouble, so they came up with this idea to put on a show.

"Lin Yang, we meet again."

Unable to suppress his urge to provoke Lin Yang, or perhaps wanting to curry favor with Ouyang Jianfei, Liu Baohua walked through the army with a pained expression to the front, feigning a sigh:

"Before I came here, I specifically asked my superiors for instructions, hoping that they could reduce your sentences by a few years because of your sincere attitude in admitting your guilt and your willingness to change. I didn't expect... sigh, you really let me down."

"As a fellow doctor, I can't just stand by and watch you make one mistake after another."

"Lin Yang, you must reform yourself well after you go in. After all, we are from the same hometown and have some connection. I will come to see you often."

"As for your Zhongxing Medical Clinic, you don't need to worry, I will take good care of it for you."

Liu Baohua stood with his hands behind his back and his tail held high, as if he had already won the contest.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast was shown to millions of viewers in Southeast Asia and China.

Inside the Zhongxing Medical Clinic, Su Xiaoxiao and the other two were deathly pale, so angry that they almost ground their back teeth to powder.

"That damned Liu Baohua! No wonder Lin Yang was so cold to him before. He really is no good! We're both in the TCM industry, what did Lin Yang do to offend him?"

"Things aren't that simple. Lin Yang mentioned it to me when we were chatting before. This guy surnamed Liu is very likely to be associated with foreign forces."

"Then what should we do?"

"I just tried posting online, but I couldn't get any of my messages to explain things to Lin Yang to go through. My account got banned as soon as I posted. Lin Yang is all alone in Southeast Asia, and we can't go to the site to help him. Sigh... I can only hope that God will protect him!"

The three of them huddled in front of the computer screen, their brows furrowed, all worried for Lin Yang.

The live stream comments scrolled by very quickly.

The general public, unaware of the situation, were easily misled by the media's misleading headlines.

"How can people be so wicked? If your medical skills are lacking, don't come out here and embarrass yourself!"

"He almost killed the general, and now he's harming the people. I don't acknowledge him as one of our Chinese people."

"Execute him! Execute him on the spot!"

I wonder if there were online trolls secretly instigating and fanning the flames.

The public's anger intensified.

Soon, the word "execution" filled the entire live broadcast screen.
