On this day, major Western media outlets suddenly reported a significant piece of news that immediately captured global attention, drawing the world’s gaze toward Paris, France—the long-missing Dr. Daniel Mu had finally been located in Paris. However, this news was only made public to the general public. While stories about Mu Lin had always been headline news in Western journalism, this time it was only briefly covered, with no follow-up reports, causing widespread dissatisfaction among those who were following the story closely. Yet within the circles of so-called social elites, rumors began circulating that Dr. Daniel had lost his memory.
This news immediately caught the attention of the powerful elite. All along, Mu Lin had skillfully leveraged his excellent relationships with the upper echelons of U-country society, using the media controlled by them to handle difficult situations, successfully building a reputable image for himself in Western society. His integrative Chinese-Western medical clinic had become synonymous with top-tier medical expertise in the West, significantly improving the status of Chinese people in the global community.
When Mu Lin disappeared in Y-country, the ones most anxious were actually the wealthy elite who controlled 80% of the West’s wealth. Mu Lin’s clinic had earned their recognition purely through his own abilities. These wealthy individuals, wielding enormous financial power in a world dominated by money, also held tremendous privileges. These Western elites and their families had long since moved beyond caring about material pleasures—they pursued a more refined lifestyle than the average person, a lifestyle built upon superior healthcare. Only with far better medical care than the general population could they confidently pursue the lives they desired.
Previously, Mu Lin’s clinic had ensured they had everything they needed, but his disappearance had caused a significant disruption in their access to premium healthcare. In their eyes, only a clinic run by Dr. Mu could truly be considered top-tier. Now, with news of Mu Lin’s reappearance came rumors of his memory loss—how could this not make them anxious?
Soon after, Mu Lin’s villa on the outskirts of Paris welcomed wave after wave of important visitors. Most of them were heads of major financial conglomerates and high-ranking political figures from countries friendly to the U-country. Their primary purpose was to visit Mu Lin and investigate whether his medical skills had been affected by his memory loss. Their arrival placed immense pressure on the French authorities regarding security, as never before had so many high-profile individuals gathered in Paris within such a short time. Moreover, any matter related to Mu Lin was treated with utmost seriousness.
The U-country President was the first to personally visit Mu Lin’s clinic. He clearly understood the powerful forces behind Mu Lin within U-country society, and he was deeply involved in Mu Lin’s disappearance. Now, he needed to confirm whether Mu Lin was truly safe and whether his medical skills had been impacted by his memory loss.
When Mu Lin’s butler introduced the President’s identity to him, Mu Lin extended his hands and said calmly, “President, it’s a pleasure to see you!” His expression remained neutral, showing no sign of recognition. When the President grasped Mu Lin’s hands and saw no trace of resentment in his eyes, he finally felt relieved.
“Mr. Daniel, you are one of the elites of our nation’s medical community. We have been deeply concerned about your disappearance in Y-country and have made efforts to find you, though without success. Now that you are safe, we are truly relieved! I heard you’ve had some health issues—can you tell me more? I would be more than willing to assist you!” The President spoke these polite words, but his real intention was to test whether Mu Lin’s medical expertise had also been affected by his memory loss.
“Ha! Mr. President, as a doctor myself, I can only say that I’ve temporarily lost some of my memory. Even I can’t do much about it, so I suppose others probably can’t either. Thank you for your concern! But as a doctor, I must tell you—I noticed from our handshake that your anxiety has caused an internal heat imbalance, and I suspect your hemorrhoids have flared up again!” Mu Lin said seriously, while the President awkwardly smiled.
At that moment, the President finally felt reassured. If Mu Lin’s medical skills had indeed disappeared along with his memory, and if word got out that the President was involved in his disappearance, he could very likely become a scapegoat for the outrage of the U-country elite. Those powerful figures would dig up every possible fault of his, potentially making him the first U.S. President to be impeached not for major misconduct, but for failing to protect a national treasure.
The President was deeply concerned about the details of Mu Lin’s disappearance. For the entire morning, accompanied by his aides, he questioned Mu Lin relentlessly about the night he vanished. His real motive was to determine whether the Y-country government was behind it. Due to Mu Lin’s special status, French authorities had been hesitant to get involved, and the President himself understood the power Mu Lin represented and the possibility that his disappearance was linked to the Y-government. Therefore, only he had the authority to get the truth from Mu Lin.
Mu Lin knew that every word he spoke would be analyzed and trigger thorough investigations afterward, so he was exceptionally cautious. He certainly didn’t consider himself superhuman.
“Daniel, could you describe what happened on the night you disappeared? Oh, sorry—I forgot your current condition. Please try to give us as much detail as possible. I want to find out who dares to challenge our limits so brazenly!” the President asked.
“Very sorry, Mr. President. As you know, I can’t recall many things clearly right now. Therefore, I can’t provide details about that night. But sometimes, fragments of memory flash through my mind—like being locked inside a moving, enclosed space, guarded tightly. Eventually, I woke up in a hospital in the small town of Lorient. As for more details, I can no longer remember,” Mu Lin replied.
Mu Lin’s words were quickly analyzed by professional intelligence personnel. Soon after, large teams of investigators were dispatched to Lorient to verify his account, and everything he said was confirmed to be true.
All countries had their own intelligence sources regarding the massive explosion in the English Channel, particularly the U-country, which had already confirmed it was caused by a nuclear submarine explosion. They also knew that all personnel aboard two warships and a nuclear submarine had vanished in the blast. Shortly after that, Mu Lin appeared in Lorient. Therefore, it was preliminarily concluded that Y-country’s government was heavily involved in Mu Lin’s disappearance.
When these analytical reports landed on the President’s desk, identical copies also appeared on the desks of the U-country’s elite power brokers. Upon reading that Y-country’s government was indeed behind Mu Lin’s disappearance, these powerful figures became truly enraged.
After all, people are inherently selfish. Although these individuals often publicly championed equality, freedom, and the sanctity of private property, such ideals only held when their own interests weren’t threatened. Now, they believed the Y-government had attempted to place Mu Lin under house arrest, aiming to monopolize his medical talents for themselves. This realization drove them into a state of fury.
