Chapter 213: The Situation Is Getting Rather Grim

In Mrs. Linke’s treatment room, Mu Lin was alone, administering acupuncture to the elderly woman. The bribed doctors had already been assigned to other tasks by Mu Lin. In Mu Lin’s treatment plan, medication served only as an auxiliary role.

Genuine energy flowed gently through the silver needles into the elderly woman’s cranial meridians, nourishing them while simultaneously cleansing the tumor in her brain. Only at this moment did Mu Lin prepare to use his genuine energy in a special therapy to cure the woman’s illness.

“Master, those men are back and have already reached the corridor entrance!” Xiao Laipi, who was keeping watch at the door, transmitted to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin swiftly removed the needles from the elderly woman’s head and gently pressed a sleep point on her. She opened her eyes, saw Mu Lin standing by the bed, and excitedly tried to sit up, saying, “Dr. Daniel, you’ve come to see me. How is my condition? And can I stop drinking that bitter herbal medicine? Oh, right, when are you planning to operate on me?”

“Mrs. Linke, your condition is gradually improving. That bitter herbal medicine plays a crucial role in your treatment, so you must cooperate with us. Right now, we’re adjusting your body. Once it can withstand surgery, I will personally operate on you. Don’t worry, your illness will definitely be cured!” Mu Lin reassured the elderly woman.

Then he turned to the doctors already standing in the room and said, “Prepare a cerebral angiography for Mrs. Linke and compare it with the previous one. If her overall indicators haven’t changed, we’ll schedule surgery for her next week!”

“Teacher Daniel, Mrs. Linke doesn’t need any additional medications? Just this herbal formula will suffice?” The lead doctor closed the medical instructions notebook and casually asked Mu Lin.

“Mrs. Linke’s illness is purely a cerebral condition. Therefore, this herbal formula is specifically designed to regulate her cerebral blood vessels. Once her cerebral circulation improves, that will be our time for surgery! The rest is up to you all!” With that, Mu Lin turned and left the ward.

“Master, you just told those spies about your treatment plan. Then how do you plan to deal with those Japanese bastards?” Xiao Laipi followed behind Mu Lin, puzzled.

“Hmph!” Mu Lin sneered slightly, “The best part is yet to come!”

In a room at the Hilton Hotel, a Japanese doctor sat behind a chair, staring intently at the prescription in his hands while asking a physician from Mu Lin’s clinic, “Are you certain that Mu Lin is only using this one formula and no other treatment methods?”

“Yes, Mr. Saito! We were all in Mrs. Linke’s treatment team. We can confirm that Mu Lin is only using traditional Chinese medicine and no other treatments!” The man replied confidently.

After the visitor left, Saito quickly returned to their clinic, entered an office, and handed the prescription to an elderly man inside, saying, “Teacher, I’ve obtained the prescription from Dr. Daniel’s clinic. According to them, Mu Lin is only using this prescription and no other treatments!”

The old man carefully studied the prescription, murmuring in admiration, “I didn’t expect it! Mu Lin’s medical skills are so profound. With just these ordinary herbs, he can significantly improve the microcirculation!”

However, he continued, “Mu Lin not using other methods doesn’t mean we won’t use them. Who knows if Mu Lin is secretly employing other techniques? Saito, go tell Dr. Kato to continue using Western medications to improve microcirculation! Also, control the patient’s blood pressure and blood sugar! The medications for controlling these conditions must not be stopped!

We should combine both traditional Chinese and Western medical approaches, attacking from two fronts. This will accelerate the patient’s recovery and allow us to perform the surgery before Mu Lin does!”

“Understood, I’ll go tell Dr. Kato right away. Teacher’s medical skills keep improving!” Saito flattered the old man, bowed respectfully, and walked away.

Soon, the patients treated by the Japanese clinic showed significant improvement after adopting the combined approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. To promote their clinic, the Japanese held a small press conference, allowing reporters to interview several patients afterward. They also presented the lab results of the patients before and after hospitalization. Finally, they announced that they would perform surgery on three patients simultaneously in five days.

Soon, reports praising the Japanese clinic spread throughout New York and were quickly picked up by major global media outlets. Among them, the media controlled by the Japanese began attacking Mu Lin’s clinic.

First, they targeted the high fees charged by Mu Lin’s clinic, claiming it was blatant fraud. After comparing Mu Lin’s fees with those in Japan, they concluded that Mu Lin’s fees were ten times higher than those in Japan and fifteen times higher than those of similar Western hospitals.

Next, they heavily criticized Mu Lin’s clinic for only accepting three patients per month, claiming this showed a lack of medical ethics. They emphasized that hospitals should prioritize treating patients and should not turn them away, let alone make decisions like refusing treatment to patients who have spoken out against Mu Lin’s clinic. They claimed this was open discrimination against Western freedom of speech.

Finally, they argued that Japanese medical skills were far superior to those of Mu Lin’s clinic. The Japanese dared to publicly announce their plan to perform surgery in five days, while the patients treated by Mu Lin’s clinic remained unaware of their conditions and surgery schedules.

Suddenly, all public opinion turned against Mu Lin’s clinic. Reports even surfaced that some influential figures previously cured by Mu Lin were preparing to sue his clinic based on the above reasons, and the courts had already accepted the cases.

All employees at Mu Lin’s clinic were in a state of panic. Some Western doctors even submitted resignation letters to Mu Lin. Calmly, Mu Lin accepted the resignations and immediately approved them. However, he quickly added a new rule to the clinic’s regulations: “Anyone who voluntarily resigns from Mu Lin’s clinic will never be rehired, nor will any of their relatives or friends!” Nevertheless, many people continued to silently support Mu Lin’s clinic through their work.

After the media published this new regulation from Mu Lin’s clinic, public criticism intensified. The Japanese clinic quickly published articles in the media, stating they welcomed employees who had resigned from Mu Lin’s clinic to work at their facility.

The world’s attention was now fixed firmly on these two traditional Chinese and Western medical clinics.
