The press conference ended smoothly, and the news about Hua Si, along with the video footage of the group of experts led by McCall from country U being attacked, quickly spread across global media. McCall and his team instantly became the focus of media investigations. Now, the world’s media attention had successfully been redirected by Mu Lin toward Hua Si and McCall’s group.
Originally, according to Mu Lin’s intention, it would have been best not to release the video, as it had already involved the dignity of the U.S. Family Medical Committee. Unfortunately, some opposition media reporters in the audience questioned whether the clinic, being a private institution, could provide examination and test reports with public credibility.
Regarding this issue, both the press spokesperson for the conference and Zhao Changming from the clinic offered explanations. However, some reporters still questioned why only the clinic’s test and examination reports were available, without a final conclusion from an authoritative organization, expressing doubts about the accuracy of the clinic’s reports.
Helplessly, Zhao Changming stated that they welcomed any authoritative global institutions to conduct tests and examinations on the patient and issue a final conclusion. However, many media reporters questioned why the clinic and New York City’s municipal government decided to hold the press conference today without having prepared relevant reports and conclusions in advance, implying that the clinic and the municipal government might be staging the event fraudulently.
Reluctantly, New York’s mayor finally had someone deliver the video footage of Hua Si challenging the experts, thus prematurely exposing the embarrassing incident involving the U.S. Family Medical Committee experts in front of the media.
When the screen once again displayed the image of the frail Hua Si chasing a group of physically strong experts, the media reporters in the audience were first left speechless. As they watched the skinny Hua Si hopping and bouncing comically around the muscular McCall, laughter erupted from the crowd. Hua Si once again captured the world’s attention.
In his own room at the clinic, Mu Lin waited for Zhao Changming and Hua Si to return from the press conference. Now, he needed to reconsider the issue of Hua Si’s departure. Logically, since Hua Si had already recovered, he should have left the clinic. However, this fellow had been clinging to Mu Lin, desperately wanting to stay.
Considering that Hua Si’s body still needed some time to recover, Mu Lin agreed to let him temporarily remain at the clinic for further recuperation and adjustment. Unexpectedly, the issue of Hua Si’s departure once again became the focus at the press conference.
Some reporters asked Hua Si, since he had already recovered, when he planned to leave the clinic. Hua Si replied that he intended to stay at the clinic for a while longer to recover physically. Immediately, some media reporters began questioning the spokesperson again about whether Hua Si had truly recovered and inquiring whether the clinic was even capable of curing Hua Si.
Their questions centered around whether the clinic was qualified to issue medical examination and test reports for patients. Did Mu Lin’s clinic really cure Hua Si? If so, why was he still staying at the clinic? Was there some kind of secret deal? Had similar situations occurred with other patients previously treated at Mu Lin’s clinic?
Seeing that someone dared to question the reputation of his life-saving benefactor, the hot-tempered Hua Si could no longer hold back. Without waiting for the press spokesperson to answer, he jumped forward and started cursing at the reporter. He then removed his shirt, once again exposing his frail body to the world, and attempted to rush onto the stage to demonstrate his excellent boxing skills on the reporter.
Fortunately, security personnel at the venue managed to restrain Hua Si. Otherwise, this guy might have staged a full-scale fight in front of the entire world.
The reporters in the audience were shocked by Hua Si’s actions. After all, as the so-called “uncrowned kings” of journalism, they prided themselves on their fearless reporting. Now, under the scrutiny of the global audience, someone dared to challenge their authority, which was difficult for them to accept.
However, Hua Si’s subsequent remarks dispelled their anger. While being held back by security, Hua Si said, “As an ordinary worker from country Y, I am poor and the pillar of my family. I don’t have much money to repay my savior. All I possess is my precious life. However, if someone dares to insult my life-saving benefactor, I will use my most precious possession—my life—to defend the reputation of the clinic and Mu Lin.
Go find out for yourselves—tell me which hospital in the world today treats two seriously ill poor patients for free every month. Which hospital doesn’t turn away patients who can’t afford treatment? So now you’re questioning the qualifications of a clinic that has cured many seriously ill common people. Why don’t you question those other hospitals instead?
Dr. Daniel has already allowed me to be discharged, but I see Dr. Daniel treating me as a human being and a friend. Therefore, I wanted to stay a bit longer to deepen our friendship. Damn it, you bastard! Because of you, can I still stay here? My God! Why don’t you let this despicable person disappear from this world?
For a clinic that treats the poor kindly, a clinic that treats poor patients like friends, you still want to destroy it? Do you want to take away the last paradise for us poor people?
Although I am just a poor man from country Y, if anyone dares to do this, I will sacrifice my own life to deal with that person myself—even before legal punishment arrives!”
Upon hearing Hua Si’s words, the audience fell into silence. Many people began to contemplate the meaning behind his speech. Eventually, no one asked further questions about Hua Si’s departure or other related issues. The press spokesperson merely offered a diplomatic response to the reporter’s question. However, the media had already lost interest in digging deeper into the matter. Now, they were more eager to know how the governments of the two countries would respond to Hua Si’s statements. Even the idea of requesting Mu Lin’s video materials was not brought up. The press conference ended hastily.
Mu Lin had not expected that his unintentional actions would earn him such high praise and reputation among ordinary people. However, he had no intention of increasing the number of patients he treated, as he believed these matters should be handled by the governments of Western countries. He had neither the responsibility nor the obligation to shoulder these burdens on their behalf.
Mu Lin was also waiting for responses from the governments of the two countries regarding this incident.
