After the previous incident with the Black Dragon Gang and the current events, he needed to carefully consider the clinic’s future direction to prevent it from constantly being targeted or becoming a battleground for conflicts. He wanted to teach these individuals a more profound lesson—only by completely humiliating them 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 episode, differing only in the methods used—one relying on brute force, the other on deceit. However, both shared the same goal: using underhanded tactics to damage the clinic’s reputation and seize its assets.
This time, the opposing side clearly intended to exploit current legal procedures and technical means to cause a patient’s condition to relapse and result in an accident. Then, they would notify the media, create public outrage, and completely ruin the clinic’s reputation. Fortunately, the clinic’s timely report and the strict regulations he had established delayed the opponents’ plans, allowing him the opportunity to detect their scheme.
As for the identity of the perpetrators, he believed that with the sufficient evidence provided, the police should quickly uncover the truth. Regarding the media, since they wanted to use it against him, he would also use the media to strike back.
The first to arrive were the news media, always quick to seize any opportunity. When Mu Lin’s clinic opened, they extensively reported on 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 troublemakers, they thought they had another major story. Their interest in the usually elusive Mu Lin was immense, especially since he had created yet another sensation. However, when they arrived at the clinic and learned that Mu Lin had already left, they felt disappointed but were somewhat comforted by the fact that there was still a big story waiting to be reported.
The next to arrive were the large contingent of police officers responding to the call.
When the police station received the report and heard it was Mu Lin’s clinic, the officer on duty was startled. Since many officers had been dispatched to maintain order during the clinic’s opening, he immediately reported to the police chief, who quickly dispatched officers to the scene. By the time the police arrived, Mu Lin had already left with Xiao Laipi.
Under the supervision of lawyers and the press, the police began removing items one by one from the doctor’s medical kit. Eventually, they discovered three amphetamine injections and syringes. This discovery confirmed the truth—the two individuals had indeed come to sabotage the clinic. The media’s camera flashes kept going off, and the cameramen were eager to get a close-up shot of the needles.
The police officers, however, were visibly gloomy because they realized they were facing an awkward situation. Upon arrival, they discovered that the suspects were members of the Fox family—one of Washington’s six major families. The police had long benefited from the Fox family’s favors and knew they were genuine local power brokers. Now, there was a clash between an outsider force and a local heavyweight.
Washington is a world-class metropolis hosting many renowned international media outlets. These news organizations didn’t care who you were—they would expose even the president’s scandals, let alone a small-scale gang affair.
Without significant media involvement, if Mu Lin had merely been an exceptionally skilled physician, even with his ownership of a major law firm, he would likely have ended up at a disadvantage, forced to pay some money and settle quietly.
Now, under intense media scrutiny, the police would have to weigh the media’s influence carefully before favoring the Fox family.
Indeed, while resting at his hotel, Mu Lin saw the news on several evening TV broadcasts. The authentic footage thrilled Washington viewers, adding unexpected excitement to their otherwise mundane lives. News hotlines at TV stations were nearly overwhelmed, greatly exciting the 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 fully cooperated. Under his instructions, TV crews entered the clinic, broadcasting every detail nationwide.
If the Black Dragon Gang incident had already made Mu Lin’s chain of clinics nationally famous, it hadn’t yet featured such detailed televised coverage of the clinic’s interior. The public had only read in newspapers about a clinic with advanced equipment and skilled physicians serving mostly upper-class elites. Now, however, people could see with their own eyes that such an elite hospital truly existed. They felt proud that the U country had such a world-leading medical facility, yet frustrated that they couldn’t access its services themselves.
What people cannot obtain always seems the best! In response to such coveted treasures, people generally adopt one of two attitudes: either destroy it out of greed and jealousy, or protect it as carefully as one’s own eyes. The proud citizens of U country mostly chose the latter. They took pride in having such an advanced hospital on their soil, as if it were their own possession. Now, someone was trying to destroy this cherished ideal—how could they possibly tolerate it?
Before dawn, some impatient spectators had already arrived at Mu Lin’s clinic, while the majority gathered at the police station, waiting for the interrogation results.
Now, the crowd in front of the police station wasn’t just reporters—it also included the National Lawyers’ Association’s support team wanting to expand their influence, and more importantly, ordinary citizens who had spontaneously come to learn the outcome of the police investigation.
TV news vans occasionally conducted random interviews with the gathered crowd, capturing complaints about the police’s inefficiency.
This situation made the police department’s upper management uneasy after watching the TV news. Calls kept coming into the chief’s office, and eventually, even the President’s office contacted the Washington Police Chief. Now, the Washington Police Department couldn’t maintain a neutral stance anymore—they had to report the interrogation results to higher authorities.
After the incident with the Black Dragon Gang and the current events, he needed to carefully consider the future direction of the clinic to prevent it from being constantly targeted or becoming a battleground for others’ conflicts. He wanted to teach these troublemakers a deeper lesson—only by thoroughly humiliating them would they finally back down and never dare to cause trouble at the clinic again.
This latest incident was essentially a repeat of the Black Dragon Gang affair, with the only difference being that one relied on brute force while the other employed deceit. Both, however, shared the same goal: using underhanded tactics to tarnish the clinic’s reputation and seize its assets.
This time, the perpetrators clearly intended to exploit legal loopholes and use technical means to cause a patient’s condition to relapse unexpectedly. They would then alert the media, stir up public outrage, and completely destroy the clinic’s credibility. Fortunately, the clinic reported the incident promptly, and thanks to the strict protocols he had established, the schemers’ plans were delayed, giving him enough time to uncover their plot.
As for the perpetrators’ identities, he believed the police would quickly uncover the truth based on the solid evidence he provided. As for the media, if they wanted to play games, he would use them to his advantage as well.
The first to arrive were the ever-vigilant news outlets. They had extensively covered the opening of Mu Lin’s clinic, and the Black Dragon Gang incident had given them even more sensational material. Now, hearing that Mu Lin himself had returned to the clinic and apprehended two troublemakers, they saw another major scoop. Their fascination with the elusive Mu Lin was immense, and this new development only heightened their excitement. However, upon arriving, they were disappointed to find Mu Lin already gone—though the remaining story still offered plenty of sensational material.
Shortly after, a large contingent of police officers arrived in response to the clinic’s emergency call.
The moment the police received the alert about Mu Lin’s clinic, the officer on duty was startled. Given that many officers had been deployed to maintain order during the clinic’s opening, he immediately reported the situation to the police chief, who swiftly dispatched a team. By the time they arrived, Mu Lin had already left with Xiao Laipi.
Under the supervision of lawyers and the media, the police began meticulously examining the doctor’s emergency kit. Sure enough, they discovered three amphetamine syringes and injection devices—conclusive proof that the two individuals had come to sabotage the clinic. The media frenzy erupted, with photographers jostling for close-up shots of the evidence.
Meanwhile, the police officers looked grim. They soon realized they were facing an awkward truth: the suspects were connected to the Fox family, one of Washington’s six major clans. The Fox family had long held influence in the city, and many officers had benefited from their patronage. Now, they were caught between a powerful outsider and a local heavyweight.
Washington, as a global metropolis, hosted numerous international media outlets. These journalists cared little about who was involved—even presidential scandals were fair game, let alone a minor underworld feud.
Without the media’s involvement, if Mu Lin had been just an ordinary skilled doctor, even with a top-tier law firm backing him, he might have been forced to compromise and settle the matter quietly. But under the relentless scrutiny of the press, the police had no choice but to act impartially, regardless of the Fox family’s influence.
Sure enough, while resting at his hotel that evening, Mu Lin saw the news broadcast on several TV networks. The raw footage electrified Washington’s viewers, injecting excitement into their mundane lives. The networks’ hotlines were flooded with calls, and station executives were thrilled—such a ratings-boosting story demanded extensive coverage. Soon, news vans swarmed outside the clinic and the police station, broadcasting live updates.
Mu Lin fully cooperated with the media. Under his direction, news crews were allowed inside the clinic for an in-depth exposé, laying everything bare before the national audience.
If the Black Dragon Gang incident had already made Mu Lin’s chain of clinics a household name, this televised deep dive into the clinic’s inner workings took it to another level. Previously, the public had only read about an elite hospital with cutting-edge equipment and world-class doctors catering to society’s upper echelons. Now, they saw it with their own eyes—pride in a world-leading medical institution on U.S. soil, mixed with frustration at being unable to access its services.
What people can’t have always seems the most desirable. Reactions to such exclusivity typically fall into two categories: some, driven by envy, seek to destroy it, while others cherish it like a prized possession. Most Americans fell into the latter group, swelling with pride over this medical marvel on their soil—as if its prestige were their own. The idea that someone would dare tarnish this source of national pride was intolerable.
Before dawn, impatient citizens began gathering outside the clinic and the police station, demanding answers.
The crowd outside the police station now included not just journalists but also lawyers from the National Bar Association looking to boost their profiles—alongside ordinary citizens eager for updates.
TV crews conducted random interviews, capturing widespread frustration over the police’s sluggish response.
The police brass, seeing the televised backlash, grew restless. A flurry of calls bombarded the chief’s office, culminating in one from the White House. With no room for political maneuvering, the Washington PD had no choice but to submit their findings to higher authorities.
Upon reviewing the report, federal officials ordered the arrest of Fox family members involved. Meanwhile, authorities quietly mobilized security forces to quell potential unrest stirred by the Fox family’s retaliation.
