Chapter 79 Joint Law Enforcement Action
Inside the Shennong Clinic, time seemed to have frozen at this slap, Baiqing, Bingxuan and Chunzhu covered their mouths, not daring to let out a cry of surprise. Xu Manli covered her bright red left cheek, staring disbelievingly at Wu Rui in front of her, while Wu Rui stared blankly at his own right hand... The space was frozen in this moment.
It seemed like an eternity had passed, yet it was only a second or two before Xu Manli looked at Wu Rui in disbelief and asked: "You hit me! Did you really hit me for her?"
“……” Wu Rui didn't respond, actually he also regretted his impulsiveness. Undoubtedly, Xu Manli's words were really not right, but the other party's original intention was still to care about him, scolding was fine, but using physical force was impulsive, could it be taken back? The heavens are fair, everyone can only have one chance, time cannot be rewound, even gods don't have that ability, the Moonlight Treasure Box is just a product of human spiritual world's longing.
"Alright! Very good!" Xu Manli expressionlessly said three words and turned around to leave without saying anything else.
Wu Rui did not stop him because he had no reason to stop him.
"Sorry, Doctor Wu! I really didn't know things would turn out like this, I was just trying to make a joke! I...I'll go catch up with Miss Xu and bring her back!" Chunzhu's voice was already trembling with tears.
"Never mind!" Wu Rui waved his hand to stop, and sat down directly on the chair, looking quite tired. "Things have come to this, let's all go back to work! Chunzhu doesn't need to blame herself either, even if you didn't say anything just now, Miss Xu would have found out sooner or later."
"I... Wu Dafu, I'm sorry." Chunzhu felt a little better in her heart, but she couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Wu Dafu, can our clinic still continue to operate?" Bai Qing asked with some worry. The Shen Nong Clinic was already in a precarious situation, and now there were internal conflicts as well. The Shen Nong Clinic could collapse at any moment, and she knew that this villa was the property of the Xu family. Even if Xu Manli got angry and chased Wu Rui away, Wu Rui would have no choice but to leave quietly.
Upon hearing Bai Qing's words, Chun Zhu and Bing Xuan were also worried. Although they hadn't been together for long, they had developed feelings for the clinic and didn't want to see it close down. Moreover, Wu Rui's medical skills were incredibly impressive, and they had high hopes for him, sincerely not wanting anything unexpected to happen.
"With me around, Shen Nong Clinic will never go bankrupt! At worst, I'll just buy this villa!" Wu Rui gritted his teeth and said, with great determination.
"What if Miss Hsu refuses to sell?" Chun Tao asked in a soft voice.
"Hmm... if you're not willing to sell, we can open up somewhere else. It might not be as luxurious as here, but even a small street clinic can diagnose and treat patients!" Wu Rui remained calm, but then smiled and added, "Of course, if the three of you don't mind, you can continue to suffer with me."
"Pfft!" The three nurses couldn't help but exchange a knowing glance and smile, feeling that Dr. Wu's words were somewhat unconvincing, much like a clumsy man trying to woo a woman. Of course, they all knew that Dr. Wu wasn't exactly known for his emotional intelligence, so they didn't press the issue further. Almost in unison, they replied: "Of course we're willing!"
"Haha……" Wu Rui Le couldn't help but laugh, with a silly expression on his face. Among the three nurses, Bai Qing had extremely strong management skills and comprehensive knowledge, making her the top choice for head nurse. Chun Zhu was a treasure, with a great attitude towards patients, while Bing Xuan came from a poor background, was patient, meticulous, and could endure hardship. Each of them had their own strengths, and Wu Rui truly didn't want to lose any one of them.
Cough... nothing else, really! Everyone says it's true, what more do you want?
Next, the Shennong Clinic seemed to have returned to normal, and patients came one after another. Wu Rui's mind was focused on treating people, completely forgetting about the crisis in the clinic and the unpleasant things that had just happened. Being serious is a must for doctors. Although most of these patients were suffering from rheumatism and other difficult diseases, they were nothing to Wu Rui, but he still didn't dare to be careless or arrogant.
At around 10 o'clock, law enforcement vehicles for health, industry and commerce, discipline inspection, public security police affairs, media interview vehicles and so on stopped in front of the Shen Nong Clinic one after another, instantly blocking the entire entrance. More than a dozen armed police officers surrounded the clinic in no time, putting Hao Ran under siege like a terrorist attack.
Suddenly, the people waiting in the clinic were frightened and stunned, while outside, a crowd of onlookers gradually gathered, with more and more people speculating about what had happened to this luxurious clinic that had just opened for one day.
"Are there terrorists inside?"
"Nonsense! If there were terrorists inside, why would officials from the Health Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and even the Disciplinary Committee be gathering around? And they're all standing in the front row, aren't they afraid of dying?"
"It must have been an unexpected accident!"
"It's not like that at all. Medical accidents only involve the health bureau, police and forensic experts, what does the discipline inspection committee have to do with it? A bunch of useless guys."
"This water is deep, hurry up and live stream on Weibo, boost some popularity."
"You're absolutely right."
Good Samaritans, curious onlookers and those who like to stir up trouble all chimed in with their comments.
"Wu Dafu, they've arrived, and it's a huge show of force!" Bai Qing and the three nurses were so scared that their faces turned white. They had never seen such a display of joint law enforcement before. Indeed, it was a big move, with great energy, no wonder Xu Manli said she could reach the sky.
"Don't mind them, take care of the patient's emotions first." Wu Rui didn't even lift an eyebrow, continuing to diagnose patients, with over a dozen more waiting in line.
"Good!" Wu Rui's calmness also infected them, and they quickly calmed down and stabilized the patient's anxious emotions.
On the TV in the clinic's lobby, a news program from the provincial station was being broadcast. A well-dressed and serious-looking host appeared on the screen, saying loudly: "Good morning to all our viewers, welcome to watch our daily live news broadcast, I am your host Wang Li! Today's headline, we focus our attention on a newly opened Shen Nong Clinic, what is worth paying attention to? Let's listen to our chief reporter Zhao Kun's live report from the scene."
The screen flickered and the TV connected to a live camera, where a man with acne all over his face appeared in front of the camera, holding a microphone and saying smoothly: "Hello everyone, I am now at the beautiful Goose River in E City. Zhao Kun is bringing you a live broadcast from here. Just yesterday, a luxurious clinic opened on the banks of the Goose River, located inside a villa worth tens of millions of dollars. The decoration is so luxurious that it's breathtaking. You can follow our camera to take a look, it's like a palace, but this is indeed a clinic, and you can clearly see the four characters 'Shennong Clinic'."
"Shennong, as everyone knows, is the ancestor of medicine thousands of years ago, and there is also a saying that Shennong tasted hundreds of medicines. It can be seen how high Shennong's position is in the hearts of Chinese people. But is this clinic in front of us really like Shennong? However, according to insiders, the owner of this clinic was actually a quack doctor who had harmed people's lives before. The business license, medical license, and even the practicing physician's qualification certificate were all obtained through illegal means!"
"After learning the information, the Health Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Public Security Bureau and Discipline Inspection Commission of E City jointly organized a law enforcement action. We will feedback the specific situation to everyone in time. Now let's interview Mr. Yu Dacheng, Director of the Health Bureau of E City. Hello, Director Yu, what do you think about this black clinic incident?"
If it were in the past, Yu Dacheng would have talked about it again, but since he had "enjoyed" Wu Rui's five needles of torture, his temperament has changed greatly, and he is even more aware of the cat's tricks in this joint law enforcement. If it weren't for being forced to do so, he wouldn't be here at all. So when he heard the reporter's interview, Yu Dacheng just coldly said: "The matter is still under investigation, nothing can be said before the truth comes out!"
" You... " Journalist Zhao Kun was furious, secretly deciding that he would find an opportunity to discredit Yu Dacheng later for not cooperating with him. Zhao Kun was also a petty-minded person, and for some time afterwards, he even sent people to look for evidence of Yu Dacheng's crimes, but as it turned out, Yu Dacheng was upright and clean in his dealings and conduct as an official, and didn't give him anything to find.
Of course, now live, even if he is angry in his heart, he has to squeeze out a smile and face it, and then ask Director Du Zhe of the Discipline Inspection Commission: "Director Du, as far as we know, all the procedures of this clinic are handled through relationships. There must be something fishy or corrupt about it. What do you think?"
Du Zhe is a fifty-year-old middle-aged man, wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose, with an air of a scholar. When he heard the reporter's inquiry, he answered in an official tone: "In view of such situation, Goose City Discipline Inspection Commission feels deeply grieved. I have decided that no matter whether it is a tiger or a fly, we must strike hard!"
"I and the TV audience in front of the screen are expecting Director Du to eliminate the tumor for society, okay, next we will interview a patient, Mr. Li hello, I heard you came here for medical treatment yesterday?" Zhao Kun held the microphone towards a man in his thirties or forties.
The middle-aged man's face remained gloomy, with a hint of guilt in his eyes, but when Zhao Kun asked him, he replied expressionlessly: "Not bad!"
"How much did Shen Nong Clinic charge you?" Zhao Kun asked hastily.
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Ah! 300,000?! No way! Are the doctors at Shen Nong Clinic that amazing? How did they treat you? What was the effect of the treatment?" Zhao Kun asked in surprise, with an incredulous look on his face.
"It's just ordinary acupuncture with no effect at all. I received a notice from the police station today, that's why I'm here to seek justice!" Mr. Li remained expressionless throughout.
"Everyone also saw Mr. Li's angry expression, and it can be imagined how much he hates this black clinic! Moreover, casually using a needle to prick a few times and charging 3 million is undoubtedly the most absurd scam in history... Okay, Goose City live report will stop here for now, later we will continue to follow up and broadcast live on this matter, now we hand over the report back to the live studio!"
Host Wang Lai continued to criticize Shen Nong Clinic for several minutes before reporting other news.
