After the previous incident with the Black Dragon gang and the current situation, he needed to carefully consider the clinic’s future direction, to prevent the clinic from constantly being targeted or becoming a battleground for conflicts. He wanted to teach these people a more profound lesson. Only by making them feel utterly humiliated would they finally calm down and dare not cause trouble at the clinic again.
This incident was essentially a repeat of the previous Black Dragon gang affair, differing only in methods: one relied on brute force, while the other used trickery. However, both shared the commonality of employing schemes to damage the clinic’s reputation and seize its assets.
This time, the adversary clearly intended to exploit current legal provisions and technical means, aiming to cause patients’ conditions to relapse and lead to accidents. Then, by informing the media and creating public opinion, they planned to completely ruin the clinic’s credibility. Fortunately, the clinic’s timely report and the strict regulations he had established delayed the opponent’s plans, allowing him the opportunity to detect their conspiracy.
As for the identity of the adversaries, he believed that with the sufficient evidence he provided, the police should quickly uncover the truth. Regarding the media, since they wanted to make an issue of this publicly, he would also use the media to respond in kind.
First to arrive were the news media, who had quickly caught wind of the situation. When Mu Lin’s clinic first opened, they extensively covered it. The Black Dragon gang incident had them writing furiously, and now hearing that Mu Lin himself had come to the clinic and captured two criminals attempting to cause trouble, they thought they had hit the jackpot. Their interest in the elusive Mu Lin surpassed anything else, especially since he had created yet another major news story. However, upon arriving at the clinic, they learned Mu Lin had already left, which disappointed them. Still, they found some comfort in having a significant story to report.
Only afterward did a large contingent of police from the station arrive after receiving the report.
When the police station received the call about Mu Lin’s clinic, the officer answering the phone was startled. Because when Mu Lin’s clinic opened, many officers had been dispatched to maintain order, the officer immediately reported to the police chief, who promptly dispatched officers to the scene. By the time the police arrived, Mu Lin had already left the clinic with Xiao Laipi.
Under the supervision of lawyers and the media, the police began removing items one by one from the doctor’s medical emergency kit. Eventually, they indeed found three amphetamine stimulant syringes and syringes. This fully confirmed that these two individuals had genuinely come to sabotage the clinic. The media’s camera flashes kept going off nonstop, and cameramen practically wanted to rush forward for a close-up shot of the syringes.
The police officers, however, wore gloomy expressions, realizing they now faced an awkward situation. Upon arrival, they discovered the suspects were actually members of the Fox family—one of Washington’s six major families. The police had long accepted favors from the Fox family and knew them to be authentic local powerbrokers. Now, one was an outsider force, and the other a local big shot; the two had clashed.
Washington is a world-class metropolis, home to many renowned global media outlets. These news organizations cared little about who someone was—they would expose even the president’s scandals, let alone a minor gang affair.
Without extensive media involvement, if Mu Lin had merely been an exceptionally skilled physician, even with a large law firm at his disposal, he might still have ended up at a disadvantage in this confrontation, likely forced to give up some money and settle quietly.
Now, under intense media scrutiny, even if the police wanted to favor the Fox family, they would have to weigh the media’s influence carefully.
Indeed, while resting at his hotel, Mu Lin saw the news that very evening on several TV stations. The authentic footage excited Washington viewers, injecting unexpected thrill into their otherwise mundane lives. News hotlines at several TV stations nearly burned out, delighting station executives. How could they not intensify coverage of such a ratings-boosting program?
The direct result was TV news vans parked directly in front of Mu Lin’s clinic and the police station, starting live broadcasts.
Regarding media interviews, Mu Lin’s attitude was full cooperation. Under his instructions, various TV stations’ news crews drove directly into the clinic, conducting comprehensive coverage and exposing everything to the entire nation.
If the Black Dragon gang incident had already made Mu Lin’s chain of clinics household names nationwide, the public had not yet seen such detailed television coverage of the clinic’s interior. People had previously only read in newspapers about a clinic equipped with advanced facilities and staffed by expert doctors serving mostly upper-echelon elites. Now, however, people could personally witness the actual existence of such an elite hospital, feeling proud that the U country possessed a world-leading medical facility while simultaneously feeling disappointed that they themselves could not access its services.
What people cannot obtain always seems the best! Regarding such coveted treasures, people generally adopt one of two attitudes: driven by greed and jealousy, they might wish to completely destroy it, or they might protect it as dearly as their own eyes. Most proud U citizens belonged to the latter category. They felt proud that their nation housed a hospital of such equipment and standards, almost as if it were their personal possession. Now, someone dared to damage this idealized image in their hearts—how could they possibly tolerate it?
Before dawn even broke, some impatient viewers had already arrived at Mu Lin’s clinic, while the majority gathered at the police station, waiting for the interrogation results.
Now, in front of the police station, it wasn’t just media reporters anymore. The National Lawyers’ Association’s support legal team had also arrived, eager to expand their influence. More numerous were the ordinary citizens who spontaneously gathered, anxious to learn the police station’s interrogation outcomes.
TV news vans occasionally conducted random interviews with the gathered crowds, capturing complaints about the police’s low efficiency.
This situation first unsettled the police leadership upon seeing the TV news. Call after call flooded into the chief’s office, and eventually, even the President’s office called Washington’s police chief. Now, Washington’s police could no longer try to please everyone and had no choice but to report the interrogation results to the relevant higher authorities.
Upon receiving the interrogation results from the Washington police, instructions were issued to arrest relevant members of the Fox family. Meanwhile, the authorities quietly began mobilizing armed forces to prepare for and prevent any disturbances initiated by the Fox family.
