The Sweetest Medicine

Unable to attack anyone or tear down the clinic, the middle-aged woman and her daughter sat at the entrance of the clinic crying pitifully, choking between sobs and sulking in pain as they called for Yu Gangan to pay them back a life while claiming that they couldn’t continue living.

Soon, a van stopped on the side of the road and a female reporter stepped out with a cameraman. She then proceeded to do a live broadcast.

“Hello, everyone, your frontline Baiyang TV news reporter here, reporting live from outside a clinic where there has been a massive medical dispute. Apparently, a couple visited this clinic recently and was prescribed a few doses of medicine. Initially, it was just a simple case of rheumatism, but after taking the prescribed medicine, the patient ended up losing his life. The family members of the deceased are currently protesting outside the clinic with a photo of their loved one…”

This news was immediately shown on television and distributed to all major networks.

The report claimed that the clinic killed someone and that the family members were in extreme grief. It also claimed that Yu Gangan was so cold-hearted that she refused to give compensation and even hired someone to beat them.

They made Yu Gangan sound like a murderous doctor with no morality and benevolence.

In an instant, the online community erupted in criticism. Countless netizens that were unaware of the truth, began to scold and attack Yu Gangan and her clinic, releasing a wave of online violence.

“So disgusting and frightening! How could there be a doctor like this? She really should die!!”

“A person like this is not a doctor; she’s a fraud! She shouldn’t be allowed in this world, otherwise, who knows how many more people she may harm.”

“Are physician’s licenses so easy to obtain these days? It feels like anyone can become a doctor.”

“This woman looks so young. It’s obvious that she isn’t very capable. Chinese medicine is all about experience.”

“This doctor is quite good looking. Could this be an attempt to create hype? Perhaps, she’ll clarify everything in a few days and say it was all a misunderstanding. After that, she’ll sign with an agency and become a superstar.”

…

While the reporter reported on the incident, she interviewed the family members as well as one of the neighbors.

It was an old auntie that stared into the camera and said angrily, “This clinic has always been a scam. They never care what illness you have and simply prescribe the most expensive medicine. Last year, I had the simple flu and ended up spending over a thousand yuan without recovering. In the end, I went to the hospital and recovered after spending less than a hundred yuan. Tell me, how is this clinic opened by humans? They are clearly monsters.”

The reporter was quite shocked and said with indignation, “This is too much. Doesn’t anyone care?”

“Someone complained before but no one died so the matter passed with a bit of compensation. This time, someone was killed, so they won’t be letting go easily,” the auntie replied.

…

Yu Gangan found the entire incident quite strange.

After all, He Wanxin prescribed the wrong medicine, but it wasn’t enough to kill a person.

Initially, she thought the accident was due to a bad interaction with another drug. But, the reporter arrived too quickly and, without investigating the truth, she directly broadcasted the story to the world, throwing Yu Gangan and her clinic into the firing line.

As for the auntie, she didn’t know that woman. In fact, she wasn’t even from Nanzhen Street.

Obviously, someone wanted to ruin her reputation, force the clinic into close down and forever tarnish the name of Yueming Hall.

Who could it be?

Of course, her first suspicions were directed at her uncle and He Wanxin.

After all, they wanted to sell the clinic.

But, even though her uncle lived for profits and drooled at the sight of money, he was relatively filial towards her grandfather when he was still alive; he wouldn’t go about ruining his father’s reputation.

So, if it wasn’t her uncle and He Wanxin, then it was definitely the people that wanted to buy the clinic: the Qiao Family!!
