The day soon arrived when the Japanese clinic was set to perform surgery on the patient. In order to boost publicity and ensure the safety and success of the operation, the Japanese clinic specially brought in three top renowned surgeons from their home country to join their team.
The Japanese-controlled media launched an intense campaign, claiming that the clinic’s actions were purely for the patient’s well-being and expressing their hope for a successful surgery. If the operation succeeded, the Japanese clinic would bring greater convenience to the Western world.
Thanks to thorough prior preparations, especially the patient secretly taking the herbal formula stolen from Mu Lin’s clinic, the patient’s health indicators had significantly improved. Most notably, the brain tumor had begun to shrink. Confident in the success of the surgery, the Japanese clinic decided to allow media coverage of the entire surgical procedure.
Mu Lin remained calm and took no major action against the Japanese clinic’s moves. This convinced the few doctors bribed by the Japanese that their actions were justified, and their desire to leave grew stronger. As a result, they became increasingly negligent in treating Mrs. Link. This gave Mu Lin more time to actively carry out acupuncture treatments. Since every treatment session was kept secret from Mrs. Link, the doctors remained completely unaware of what was happening.
The day of the public surgery finally arrived. At that moment, a group of police officers entered Mu Lin’s clinic. The few doctors, upon seeing the officers, were delighted. They assumed the police were there to target Mu Lin, signaling the end of his career in the U.S. They planned to leave once the Japanese surgery was completed, so they stood in the hallway, eager to watch the spectacle.
However, after speaking briefly with the clinic secretary, the police officers walked straight toward the doctors. Confused, the doctors were met with the words, “Are you Dr. Guojian Zhou, Dr. Shengli Zhang, Dr. Jimmy, and Dr. Prince? Based on a report, we have solid evidence proving your involvement in the leakage of commercial secrets. Therefore, you are temporarily under arrest.” After showing the necessary documents, the officers took them away.
The clinic staff quickly became agitated, believing the police were targeting Mu Lin’s clinic and planning to protest at the police station. At that moment, Claire entered and addressed the staff: “Everyone, please calm down. These doctors leaked the treatment plans that Mu Lin developed for patients to the Japanese, which caused us to suffer serious setbacks recently. Please rest assured, Dr. Daniel is the best physician, and he will handle everything. Your best support for the clinic is to stay calm and continue working.” After Claire’s words, everyone realized that there were traitors among them, and some of the Chinese doctors became furious, cursing the arrested doctors as “traitors” and “collaborators.”
Claire entered Mu Lin’s office. Seeing his calm expression, she couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. “Mu Lin, the Japanese surgery is about to begin. If it succeeds, our clinic will be in serious trouble! Aren’t you worried at all?”
Mu Lin simply smiled faintly, saying nothing. That calm smile eased Claire’s anxiety. She knew Mu Lin must have had a solid plan.
“Were those doctors your doing?” Claire asked, puzzled.
“They brought it upon themselves. Don’t worry, those doctors were just the appetizer! If the Japanese want to take me on, they’d better be ready for a counterattack!” Mu Lin said calmly.
Meanwhile, at the Japanese clinic, cameras were aimed at the operating room glass, ready to broadcast the surgery live. To demonstrate their superior strength and completely different approach from Mu Lin’s secretive methods, the Japanese clinic decided to perform surgeries on all three patients simultaneously. This bold move was widely praised by international media.
The patient had already been wheeled into the operating room. The surgical assistants for all three patients had entered, and the lead surgeons briefly appeared before the cameras before stepping into the operating rooms.
Then, the world-famous triple surgery—later dubbed by Western media as the “Bloody Murder Surgery”—began. Since brain surgery was involved, the patients were placed under general anesthesia. They were now deeply unconscious.
Under the bright surgical lights, the assistants used surgical tools to open the skulls of the three patients. Then came the critical moment—the lead surgeons would begin removing the brain tumors. Each patient was in a separate operating room, and the lead surgeons were all highly experienced neurosurgeons. Western media and the Japanese were confident in the success of the surgeries.
In a small meeting room at the Japanese clinic, several Japanese staff had already opened champagne to celebrate their anticipated victory. For a long time, they had envied Mu Lin for using traditional Chinese medicine to break into the Western market, building a strong reputation and accumulating great wealth.
Thanks to Mu Lin’s medical expertise, his clinic had taken root in the West, helping people gradually recognize and appreciate traditional Chinese medicine and, in turn, re-evaluate the ancient Chinese nation. This also gradually elevated the political status of overseas Chinese.
This was precisely what the small island nation of Japan could not tolerate. A nation historically lacking in cultural depth, Japan had always borrowed elements from its neighboring Chinese civilization. Traditional Chinese medicine, an ancient healing art, had been nearly extinguished in China due to suppression by traitorous scholars and politicians. This led Japan to falsely believe that the essence of TCM now resided in their country, fueling their desire to dominate the Western market. To achieve this, eliminating Mu Lin’s clinic became their top priority.
Thus, they mobilized the entire nation’s resources to completely destroy Mu Lin’s clinic. Now, victory was within reach—how could they not be excited? Just then, the meeting room door burst open, and once again, Saito stumbled in, his face filled with panic. “Teacher, it’s bad! The patients are gone!”
