University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"I really see it now. To defend a certain Doctor Chen, some people in the bullet comments will say just about anything."

"Isn’t it interesting? Hardly anyone feels sympathy for the true victims now; they’re all speaking up for the indifferent abuser. I wish every person defending Chen Mu in the comments would experience meeting an incompetent doctor like Chen Mu when they go to the hospital with their family in the future!"

"..."

—

Fu Xiaocui broke down in tears, "But this good man is no longer in this world, and I really, really miss my husband now!!!"

After a moment of silence, Chen Mu couldn’t help but speak: "But if I’m not mistaken, your husband, whom you speak so fondly of for treating you and your family well, seemed to have repeatedly committed domestic violence against you while at the hospital."

"If you think there’s an issue with what I said, you can sue me for defamation."

"Once the police and courts get involved, they should be able to investigate the hospital’s surveillance footage from back then, and the timeline—I still remember it—can show approximately when you were abused by your husband."

Su Bingbing, who had just been comforting Fu Xiaocui, was also surprised for a moment after hearing Chen Mu’s words.

This time.

Even the way Su Bingbing looked at Fu Xiaocui was not as sympathetic as before.

Su Bingbing gazed in disbelief at the still-crying Fu Xiaocui beside her, "Did your husband abuse you when he was alive?"

Fu Xiaocui was stunned at first.

Then she said loudly, "What does this have to do with my husband’s medical accident?"

"Dr. Chen, why would you say something so disrespectful to the deceased when I’m mourning my husband?"

Chen Mu’s expression did not change much.

He just casually said, "You’re right. I was disrespectful. I apologize."

Fu Xiaocui: "But your apology doesn’t seem sincere at all!"

Hearing this.

Chen Mu’s eyes carried even more sarcasm, "Fine, then I sincerely apologize to you for what I just said."

—

"Guys, does anyone else sense something off?"

"This woman only mentioned Dr. Chen’s attitude and the issue of disrespect towards the deceased, but she didn’t deny that her husband abused her?"

"The main thing is, what Dr. Chen just said was very definitive. If he was slandering, Fu Xiaocui could have involved the police to directly sue him for slander; the path is clear. Yet, this woman hasn’t said she would sue Dr. Chen, only mentioning the attitude issue?"

"Aren’t some people in the comments blowing things out of proportion? Chen Mu’s attitude was bad, and they pointed out his attitude problem; what’s wrong with that?"

"In theory, there’s nothing wrong with that. But if I were to have a death grudge with an enemy, I’d want to hammer every black mark to the ground. Letting such a clear point go seems really off."

"What’s so off about this? Minor issues like this can be settled later. Isn’t the main point here the medical accident that Mr. Chen was involved in years ago?"

"Tsk! I can only say that some of Mr. Chen’s fans, like him, are experts at misleading and changing the narrative online!"

"Alright, alright, talking for Dr. Chen makes you a fan now? Then you all continue to fight for justice for the domestic violence perpetrator. That’s really amusing..."

"..."

—

"You!!!" Fu Xiaocui glared fiercely at Chen Mu.

She seemed determined to fight it out with Chen Mu.

As she picked up the glass by her side, Chen Mu kindly reminded her, "The live camera is right here now. If you hit me with the glass, I could sue you. Besides..."

Chen Mu pointed to the live broadcast camera not far from him: "The evidence is crystal clear."

Fu Xiaocui: "..."

Looking at the face across from her that made her grit her teeth day and night.

Fu Xiaocui forcibly put down the glass in her hand, "How does someone like you have the face to be a doctor?"

"Not only was your apology completely insincere,"

"You didn’t even attend the funeral after my husband died, nor did you apologize to our family!"

"Do you know how miserable and hard our family has lived since my husband died?"

Chen Mu remained indifferent: "What does that have to do with me?"

"There are many people in this world living harder lives than your family."

"Do I need to visit each household like yours and show my concern?"

Fu Xiaocui slammed her table loudly, "Leaders, did you see that!? This is the attitude he’s had towards our family for years, without a hint of remorse!"

"For someone so cold-hearted to now be a campus doctor at a university, it’s utterly ridiculous!"

The members of the investigative team.

At this point, couldn’t help but frown.

The leader sitting at the head looked at Fu Xiaocui with a serious gaze: "There will be justice, but justice starts with uncovering the truth. You causing a big scene here won’t solve any problems but can instead exacerbate conflicts"

After finishing with Fu Xiaocui.

The leader’s gaze also fell on Chen Mu, "Moreover, Dr. Chen, your attitude toward the deceased’s family was indeed somewhat indifferent."

"No matter what happened back then, respect for the deceased is paramount. I hope you can adjust your attitude."

On the surface, both were criticized.

But in reality, there was already discontent toward Chen Mu.

This issue involving Chen Mu had grown quite large.

It attracted significant attention from various sectors of society.

But with the attitude Chen Mu currently had...

It didn’t seem like he intended to solve the problem but rather exacerbate conflicts.

Toward the leaders, Chen Mu maintained a relatively good attitude: "I will correct my attitude, I’m sorry."

When Chen Mu’s gaze landed on Fu Xiaocui, he was quite serious: "Fu Xiaocui, you actually got one thing wrong. Who said I felt no remorse for what happened back then?"

"For the things of the past, I regret them day and night..."

Hearing this from Chen Mu.

Fu Xiaocui’s face lit up with joy, "You finally admit..."

Before Fu Xiaocui could finish her delighted words, she heard Chen Mu’s next half: "Every time I think back to the midnight dreams where you knelt in front of me back then, I regret not just driving you away after listening to your pleas."

"If I had just driven you away back then, I wouldn’t be facing these troubles now."

Back then?

Fu Xiaocui knelt in front of Chen Mu?

And pleaded?

Everyone present was perceptive.

While Chen Mu was helping at the Hai City Traditional Medicine Affiliated Hospital in the afternoon, these people were at the campus hospital listening to Fu Xiaocui’s grievances for hours.

This woman even recounted the misery of every meal her family had, day by day.

Not just the people present.

Even the netizens in the live stream had been listening to Fu Xiaocui’s grievances for hours.

It can be said.

The reason so many people in the live comments were cursing Chen Mu was largely due to Fu Xiaocui’s relentless grievances over these hours.

Normally,.

If Fu Xiaocui had really knelt before Chen Mu back in the day, and assuming Chen Mu was at fault.

This wouldn’t be a story.

They would have heard it a thousand times from her this afternoon.

However...

For such a significant turning point, Fu Xiaocui hadn’t mentioned a word in those hours.

Thus.

There was almost only one possibility, that regarding kneeling down back then, Fu Xiaocui might have been at fault herself.

Otherwise.

She wouldn’t have said nothing.

Thinking of this.

Su Bingbing looked at Fu Xiaocui without much sympathy.

There was more inquiry than before.

Previously, she thought this Fu Xiaocui might just be without her husband, without the breadwinner of her family.

Struggling alone to earn money to take care of in-laws and children, she seemed too sad and helpless.

But now it seems.

The intense and repulsive reaction of Dr. Chen toward the deceased’s family suggests that many things from back then might not be as simple as she and some netizens had imagined...
