University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"It’s really disgusting. Just because she’s got some shady affair between men and women, she goes on a livestream and turns black into white, not considering the victim’s family’s feelings at all."

"If I ran into some female host like this, who can’t tell right from wrong and has nothing but men in her head, while I was defending my rights, I’d definitely rip her hair out and scratch her face bloody. She’s seriously disgusting!"

"Tsk tsk! I’m even starting to suspect now whether the two of them had already coordinated in private. Otherwise, why is it that up till now no one has directly answered the question of the medical accident? The crux of this matter—fundamentally speaking—isn’t it that Chen Mu made a mistake in the surgery?"

"A mistake? You say it’s a mistake so it is? Netizens now really just flap their lips and dare say anything."

"You’re something else. Even at a time like this, you’re not standing with the victim, and you’re actually still supporting a quack."

"Yeah yeah yeah! You all just keep making a scene like this, not telling black from white, calling others quacks without even looking at the investigation results. In the end the whole world will be full of quacks—go treat yourself then, nutcase!"

"..."

Hearing Fu Xiaocui’s accusations and slander.

Bingbing didn’t have the huge reaction Fu Xiaocui expected.

Instead she glanced at Fu Xiaocui with a bit of contempt. "Let me give you a piece of advice: you’d better not drag me into your lies."

Fu Xiaocui said, "I’m not lying, I just saw online..."

Bingbing said, "For people like us in the entertainment industry, we have dedicated legal teams who specialize in reputation lawsuits. Whatever’s between you and Dr. Chen, even if you keep jumping up and down, Dr. Chen might not do anything to you, but..."

Bingbing narrowed her eyes.

Her attitude really couldn’t be called friendly. "If you damage my reputation, I don’t know if you believe it or not, but my legal team can wipe you out financially."

Bingbing said, "Of course, facing the livestream camera I can also tell you, I’m not threatening you, I’m just stating a fact."

Hearing what Bingbing said.

The color drained a bit from Fu Xiaocui’s face, and she didn’t dare say anything more.

Bingbing said, "Since we’re talking about a medical accident, then each side should present their own evidence. Stop dragging unrelated people into the water."

Even Chen Mu, one of the parties involved, couldn’t help glancing over at Bingbing when he heard how serious she sounded.

Fu Xiaocui was still a little unconvinced.

But as a woman, she did have a certain sharpness.

She could see that at this moment, Bingbing wasn’t joking with her.

Nor was she just trying to scare her.

Bingbing was stating what she herself saw as facts.

Realizing that the livestream camera was still locked on their side.

Fu Xiaocui pulled a somewhat wronged expression to attract some sympathetic comments from the barrage.

Then she stopped focusing on Bingbing.

Right now, the only person she needed to deal with was Chen Mu.

Bingbing herself was a public figure with plenty of fans.

She wasn’t someone Fu Xiaocui could afford to offend; there was no need to make an enemy for nothing.

The head of the investigation team, sitting in the main seat, saw this and said to his people, "Whether we end up needing it or not, first get the surveillance footage from back then."

"Okay," one of the investigators nodded.

Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed at the livestream camera. "Before we find the footage, can I describe the lead‑up to what happened in my office that year?"

"Since things have already escalated to the point where we need a livestreamed investigation to prove fairness, I think some of the details from back then also need to be made public."

"Of course."

"The camera is on us now. I can vouch for the truth of every word I say. If I exaggerate or lie at any point, I accept investigation and punishment."

—

"I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what my wife said earlier, or with what Dr. Chen is saying now. Since both sides are sitting down to explain what happened that year, both sides should be allowed to speak, right? We can’t just listen to one person."

"Exactly, this woman’s attitude is clearly a problem. If you want to solve an issue, why are you trying to shut the other side up?"

"No matter what the video from back then looks like, the fact that a doctor made a patient’s family member kneel in front of him is something he himself has already admitted, right? How can anyone still approve of a doctor like that? Is this world actually insane?"

"I don’t think we should judge based on a few words. No one would use something that’s bad for them as evidence. Since Dr. Chen dares open his mouth about this, it means that back then there must have been more to the story!"

"The surveillance is about to be released. Why can’t we listen to Dr. Chen a bit more? If he lies at a time like this, he’ll be legally liable."

"Yeah! The investigation team is already here. Spouting nonsense now would be no different from courting death, right?"

"Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t just shoot their mouth off at a time like this. At the very least, they’d make sure they can stand behind every word they say."

"..."

—

One of the investigators nodded lightly and said, "In that case, let’s listen to Dr. Chen’s account."

They hadn’t met the members of the previous investigation team.

But they had read the earlier investigation report.

And watched the OR surveillance footage.

A professional team had evaluated it and determined that what Chen Mu told the patient’s family when he came out of the operating room back then wasn’t wrong.

The surgery at that time had indeed been a success.

And furthermore...

In that old investigation report, there was also an autopsy report, including complete autopsy video.

It proved.

The medical examiner at the time hadn’t falsified anything; the autopsy report he issued was absolutely fair and impartial.

Chen Mu didn’t even glance at Fu Xiaocui opposite him. He simply recalled what had happened back then and started talking.

These things...

Even when he was being viciously torn apart online, at his worst, Chen Mu had never thought of bringing them into the open.

But now, seeing the feral expression on Fu Xiaocui’s face across from him.

Chen Mu suddenly felt that the man he’d been back then was a complete fool.

Maybe he was.

Back then, he’d had a bit of a savior complex.

He always felt that no matter how over the line the patient’s family went, they had lost someone they loved.

Many times.

Even when he wanted to clear his own name, he still tried to leave the other side some dignity.

So a lot of the details were only known to the police who worked the case back then and the investigation team.

Facing the internet masses who kept cursing him, those details from the old investigation had never been made public.

But...

So much time had already passed.

He clearly was the one who had done nothing wrong.

Why should he care about anyone else’s face and wrong himself?

Besides.

You don’t drag people’s families into it.

Now.

The old man had been pulled into this.

Why should he still stand in other people’s shoes.

And think for others.

It wasn’t fair to him, and it wasn’t fair to the old man either.

"Back then, the surgery on her husband wasn’t considered a very serious operation in clinical terms, so we did it in the emergency OR."

"Her husband was a long‑term heavy drinker, with irregular eating habits, which led to gastric ulcers."

—

"???!!!"

"The moment he opened his mouth and said it was a gastric ulcer surgery, I knew it—he’s a quack."

"Why does doing surgery make him a quack? Haven’t you scolded enough in the barrage?"

"This has nothing to do with prejudice. I’d actually spoken up for Chen Mu before, but you can go ask in any clinical department—basically, even for more severe gastric ulcers, surgery generally isn’t recommended."

"When you operate for gastric ulcers, you usually have to remove part of the stomach. Use your brain—after part of your stomach is cut out, what do you think your life will look like?"

"Even if that kind of surgery is technically a success, it’s going to have some impact, right?"

"Now I get why Fu Xiaocui hates Chen Mu so much. Some doctors will stop at nothing for a bit of surgical fee."

"????"

"Gastric ulcer surgeries are relatively rare, but it’s not like they don’t exist. When it gets serious enough, you do need surgery. And Chen Mu was an ER doctor at the time—he’d be handling critical emergency cases. Why is the barrage so eager to curse him???"
