Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Making Headlines
Liu Mang’s face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Don’t say that! How could this be arranged by me!"
Zhou Yan looked at Liu Mang in his white coat, becoming suspicious, "If it wasn’t arranged by you, how do you know?"
At this moment, Zhang Zhixing and others also came over, asking, "What happened?"
"Mr. Zhang, it’s nothing, I was just checking on this lady’s condition, caring for the patient, you know." Liu Mang said with a forced smile.
"But how did I hear her say it was arranged by you?"
Zhang Zhixing’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s, as if he could see through his thoughts. "You made a bet with Lin Tian yesterday; are you trying to trip him up?"
Liu Mang suddenly became anxious, shaking his head repeatedly, "Minister, you have to believe me, how could I do such a thing?"
Zhou Yan was even more puzzled, "Then how do you know about this?"
This was a private matter for him, and there was a need to get to the bottom of it.
"I accidentally overheard your conversation with Dr. Lin just now. That’s why I came to ask you." Liu Mang tried to remain calm; otherwise, if Mr. Zhang found out, he couldn’t handle it.
This explanation was somewhat believable since he was indeed not far away earlier.
However, Zhang Zhixing noticed something amiss and asked Zhou Yan, "Are you saying you didn’t take a number for your check-up, and someone arranged it?"
Zhou Yan was utterly confused, "I didn’t take a number. Someone gave me a ticket, saying there was a famous doctor offering free consultations today."
At this point, even Zhang Zhixing realized there was an arrangement behind it.
Liu Mang immediately broke out in cold sweat, cursing himself for asking such questions. Now that he let it slip, dealing with the situation would be difficult.
Zhang Zhixing waved his hand, saying, "Investigate! This needs a thorough investigation!"
While speaking, her sharp eyes stayed on Liu Mang. After all, she bet with Lin Tian; others had no motive. But without enough evidence, she couldn’t just say it was him.
Liu Mang’s internal struggle was brewing. It’s over. Zhang Zhixin would intervene and try to get to the bottom of this, and it would be straightforward for her.
"Mr. Zhang, I’m busy with other patients waiting for me." Liu Mang said, wanting to quickly return and erase all traces from last night.
Although it might be useless, how would he know without trying?
Zhang Zhixing was previously a doctor and now an official. He’d seen all sorts of people. Although Liu Mang disguised his panic well, it was all seen by Zhang Zhixing.
Who was responsible for this incident was already self-evident.
"Dr. Liu, won’t you check on Lin Tian’s results here?" Zhang Zhixing smiled faintly, making Liu Mang feel a chill down his spine. That was the feeling of someone seeing through your thoughts.
"No need, I’ve already fallen behind. I must catch up." Liu Mang responded.
"Alright, off you go then." Zhang Zhixing waved his hand, coldly laughing inside. No matter how much you hide, you can’t escape such a big matter.
What Zhang Zhixing didn’t know was that early in the morning, Lin Tian had already called Wu Yong and Pang Yu to start checking the hospital’s surveillance. All they needed was the footage showing patient arrangements, and Liu Mang’s reputation would be ruined.
Lin Tian wasn’t one to suffer losses. After learning yesterday that Liu Mang wanted to set him up, how could he be unprepared?
The reason Lin Tian first took the silent loss was for these patients.
Liu Chan arranged for him were mostly tricky diseases or chronic illnesses. They might not affect him personally but were a significant issue for those patients’ families.
The Acupuncture Skill and medical books in Lin Tian’s mind gave him not only superb medical skills but also the medical ethics a doctor should have.
Soon, the next patient arrived...
All day, Lin Tian was busy working. The Sea of Qi within constantly cycled from being filled with Spiritual Qi to being exhausted, repeatedly.
By the end of the day, Lin Tian had cured 18 patients, none of whom had minor illnesses. As for the others, Lin Tian couldn’t cure them with a single treatment, so he prescribed some remedies. Of course, these remedies were much more effective than those in the market and almost had no side effects.
As for Zhao Xuefeng and other ancient doctors, their combined number of healed patients wasn’t even half of Lin Tian’s.
This unusual phenomenon had long attracted reporters’ attention. First, it was one camera, then two, and finally a whole crew.
Around Lin Tian, even in the corridors above, there were cameras set up, capturing his treatment process, creating quite an exaggerated scene.
The patients were initially scared at the sight but calmed down after Lin Tian asked Sun Chuanrong to switch to a larger room. Otherwise, it was too crowded.
Since all consultation rooms in the hospital were the same size, Sun Chuanrong had to move Lin Tian’s desk and apparatus under the shade of large trees in a big clearing, set up a few sunshades, and placed fans around.
The reporters followed outside with their cameras, but Lin Tian asked them to keep the cameras at a distance, which helped a bit.
Even with these arrangements, reporters remained determined. They were already drafting their stories mentally, thinking of how to write about this legendary ancient physician. Aged merely twenty, possessing extraordinary medical skills, able to awaken coma patients—how impressive is that?
Besides awakening coma patients, Lin Tian resolved other illnesses unsolvable by modern medicine, deemed newsworthy for significant exposure.
This time, the greatest takeaway from the medical summit was surely this young man, right?
Once reported, it will definitely create a massive wave on the internet, in the medical field, and political circles alike.
This wave would drive a surge of interest in traditional medicine, proving to the world that traditional medicine is not inferior to Western medicine!
Notably, Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Health visited in the morning, and aside from lunch and bathroom breaks, she brought a chair and watched him treat patients all day.
Reporters learned from interviewing her that Mr. Zhang intended to inspect all doctors offering free consultations but couldn’t move after seeing Lin Tian’s skills.
Previously a doctor and now an official, Mr. Zhang deeply loves medical skills.
To make a leader unwilling to move, how charismatic must it be?
Unfortunately, they couldn’t interview Lin Tian. After a day’s treatment, he appeared exhausted, walking with fatigue. Approaching him for an interview now might provoke a scolding, right?
But even so, with material from yesterday and today, they already had enough.
All major news website editors finalized their decision upon seeing this: Front page! It must go on the front page!
Soon, the online headlines and trending topics transformed into "National Ancient Doctor, The Miracle Doctor Treating World-class Diseases"!
