The revelation of Haan Fox’s disease recovery became undoubtedly the final straw that broke the Fox family. Although he did not usually participate in all the family’s activities, he naturally had a thorough understanding of the family’s inner workings and its connections to powerful figures.
Moreover, due to the fluctuating nature of his illness, many family members spoke freely around him without hesitation, inadvertently revealing numerous core family secrets. His emergence first exposed the shocking collusion between the mafia family and the police authorities, leading to the arrest of several high-ranking officials within the police department who had close ties to the Fox family, causing widespread panic among law enforcement.
Secondly, he revealed a list of secretly supported politicians, and while these seasoned political players were not easily toppled by mere allegations, no one expected Haan’s exceptional memory and precise details regarding the timing and accounts of the funds received. With the media spotlight, everything was exposed to the public, forcing many politicians to leave their political stage in disgrace. This caused significant anxiety among those closely associated with these politicians, who now feared the resurfacing of long-forgotten incidents.
Judges and prosecutors in Washington were now working non-stop as one case after another was exposed by the media. Like a crumbling wall collapsing under collective pressure, many previously concealed cases were now brought back into the public eye, and the Fox family’s old crimes were being revisited and punished.
Other members of the Fox family were also successively arrested with solid evidence. Now, no one in the entire country was foolish enough to associate with these pariahs. All hidden forces were either unearthed by the police or completely eliminated by rival gangs, making any hope of a resurgence for the Fox family gradually vanish. Except for Haan, every adult member of the Fox family received a minimum sentence of seventy years without the possibility of parole.
The legitimate businesses of the Fox family were now completely transferred to Haan Fox, who was rewarded with immunity from prosecution for his role in turning against the family. The businesses, now free from their criminal stigma, gradually revived. Haan also became the most ardent supporter of Mu Lin’s clinic. In this operation, Mu Lin did not use any of his supernatural abilities, relying solely on his exceptional medical skills to gain a loyal follower. Both men achieved exactly what they wanted.
The media emerged as the biggest winner in this storm. First, they thoroughly uncovered the details of Mu Lin’s clinic. Second, they exposed numerous secrets of the Fox family, followed by revelations of police-criminal collusion and political-criminal conspiracies. It was almost a major news story every single day. Many newspapers with previously struggling financial conditions improved their situations significantly through exclusive reports on this incident.
Secondly, the Douglas Law Firm, serving as the exclusive representative of Mu Lin’s clinic, gained nationwide and international recognition practically for free, resulting in a nearly doubling of their usual workload.
Third was Mu Lin himself. First, he regained full control and management of the clinic, no longer needing protection from powerful figures. Around the clinic, the public’s watchful eyes naturally ensured its safety. From now on, it would be a life of steady income. Moreover, the clinic gained an excellent reputation.
Fourth were the ordinary citizens. Some of them now had the opportunity to access a clinic that once served only the social elite, causing widespread celebration.
Fifth were the European leaders. With Mu Lin’s clinic now operating on a fully paid basis, it meant they had the chance to invite the clinic to establish branches in Europe. From now on, they no longer had to rely on the goodwill of U-country leaders. Many European leaders who had already established contact with Mu Lin were now appointed as full representatives of their nations, preparing to negotiate with Mu Lin to invite him to open clinics in their countries.
The most unfortunate were naturally the Fox family and their affiliated criminal organizations. The six major gangs in the Washington area suffered greatly due to their association with the Fox family, each experiencing significant setbacks in this turmoil. Similarly, gangs across the country were also affected, with many old crimes now resurfacing in the media. Criminal activities, usually like ghosts in the night, were now completely exposed to daylight, leaving them nowhere to hide. Under public scrutiny, no one dared to offer them protection, and efforts to distance themselves were intense. The speed and severity of the legal actions were unprecedented, with many smaller gangs being completely eradicated. Now, the entire underworld widely referred to Mu Lin’s clinic as the “Mafia Poison!” Two previous plots by the mafia had both led to devastating counterattacks. The mysterious organization responsible for the annihilation of the Black Dragon Gang had not even appeared yet. If they were to strike again, the entire underworld could not even imagine how much worse it could get—it was already causing complete disintegration among several gangs, with the entire criminal underworld affected.
As a result, criminal organizations nationwide mutually agreed that no one was allowed to target Mu Lin’s clinic anymore. If any reckless individual dared to attack the clinic, other gangs had the authority to eliminate them immediately.
The staff of Mu Lin’s clinic remained unaware of all these developments. They simply noticed that previously common incidents like robberies no longer occurred. At times, when clinic staff wearing identification appeared at crime scenes, the criminals would immediately stop their actions and flee. For a small clinic to achieve such a deterrent effect in the U-country was truly a historical marvel.
Secondly, the U-country police force suffered greatly from this incident, as numerous cases of police-criminal collusion were exposed, causing public trust in law enforcement to drop to its lowest level in years. Thirdly, politicians who had connections to the Fox family also faced consequences.
The biggest losers, however, were the U-country elites. Originally, they only needed to donate a small amount of money to gain free access to the clinic for treatment. Now, everything was lost. In anger, Mu Lin completely severed all ties with them.
Especially those officials responsible for selecting patients for treatment at Mu Lin’s clinic, who were once flattered and even courted by European elites willing to sacrifice some interests for medical treatment, now found everything gone. Worse still, Mu Lin might now open clinics in Europe, causing even greater losses.
Therefore, these elites vented their frustrations entirely onto the underworld. If it weren’t for the two incidents initiated by the criminal gangs, would Mu Lin have been so enraged? Their subsequent unified actions severely weakened the criminal forces, leading to the current situation where the mere mention of Mu Lin’s clinic sends chills down the spines of the underworld.
This storm ended with a complete victory for Mu Lin’s clinic.
