Chapter 536 - How Did You Do That (1/2)
In fact, it had taken him only three days.
Many people talked about the matter and paid a lot of attention to it in those three days.
Fewer and fewer people reposted it and left comments now, but still, some reporters went to the hospital to interview the relevant people involved and dig out the sequel of the story.
Some people came to the gynecology and obstetrics department to see Su Qingsang. They wanted to know what kind of doctor could be so awful.
Unfortunately, Su Qingsang had been on a vacation before this. They couldn’t see her, so some people posted on Weibo that the hospital had already fired Su Qingsang.
But soon, some people disproved that claim. After all, Su Qingsang’s picture was still hanging on the wall in the hospital. She had clearly not been fired.
What had happened at the hospital was no longer big news, but there were still people paying attention to it. The problem wasn’t solved yet.
Lin Gang never changed his words. However, strangely enough, he started to reject interviews and refused to show his face in front of cameras.
As he wasn’t willing to face the media, the reporters from two tabloids started to doubt his claims.
They kept asking him what exactly happened. Unlike before, he no longer sounded affirmative.
The story which had seemed crystal clear before suddenly seemed to take a twist.
Li Hong wasn’t expecting her husband to act like an amnesia patient. She felt that something was wrong because her husband had suddenly started acting in an unusual manner for the past few days.
She couldn’t ask him what happened in front of the reporters, so after they left, she started asking him plenty of questions.
Lin Gang was in no mood to answer her questions. He turned and walked straight away.
Someone witnessed that. It was a young reporter from a live broadcast platform. He immediately asked Lin Gang for an interview and offered to help him.
Lin Gang didn’t accept the interview but told the man to wait until tomorrow. Therefore, the reporter only interviewed Li Hong.
As always, Li Hong complained tearfully about what had happened in front of the camera. The reporter didn’t release the clip of the interview immediately but decided to wait until he got the interview of Lin Gang.
The reporter simply believed that having the couple crying in front of the camera together would deliver a better effect than the woman crying alone.
To his surprise, the words that Lin Gang had spoken in previous interviews rang untrue during this interview.
When he was asked to describe in detail how Su Qingsang had insulted the patient that day, he failed to give any accurate answers.
The information he provided, at last, turned out to be inconsistent with Li Hong’s words. After hearing what he said, the reporter suddenly realized that something wasn’t right.
That night, the reporter visited Li Hong in the hospital while both her husband and she were in the ward.
The reporter talked to Li Hong about what her husband had said and then asked her what exactly happened.
He asked Li Hong why the two of them described what had happened in different ways.
Li Hong never thought that her husband would be clueless enough to still change his words after they had agreed upon what to say.
She complained about it without realizing that the reporter was still there, and her words began to infuriate her husband.
Lin Gang started a nasty fight with his wife.
The reporter filmed the whole process, as the couple quarreled more and more intensely. In the end, Li Hong let the cat out of the bag with anger.
“You were the one who told me to frame Doctor Su. You said that by accusing her of insulting me, we’d get a big sum of money as compensation. Why are you showing me such an attitude now?”
“What do you mean I told you to frame Doctor Su? Didn’t you want the money too? If you weren’t so greedy, why did you try to fake car accidents? If you hadn’t done that, would you have gotten into a real accident?”
“Why did I do that? It was you who told me to do that, didn’t you? You didn’t only ask me to fake car accidents, but also asked me to frame Doctor Su. Isn’t that true?”
Li Hong was infuriated. She never thought that Lin Gang would push the blame to her. “You made me lie for money. If it wasn’t for you, would I have ever made you do something so ungrateful?”
Doctor Su was the one who had saved her life, after all.
“Did you do that because I told you to? Are you going to do whatever I say? Fine. Now, I am telling you to kill yourself. I want you dead now.”
Lin Gang was extremely enraged. He gave Li Hong a hard slap right on the face after saying that, even though she was still recovering from her cesarean.
The reporter, who was still in the ward, widened his eyes in shock. As he watched a potential breaking news story unfolding in front of him, his mouth opened wide.
He was not just an ordinary reporter. He had a large number of fans on his live broadcast platform.
He had been live broadcasting everything that was happening since he came into the ward, including the interviews of Li Hong and Lin Gang, the two of them fighting each other, and that tight slap from Lin Gang.
Things became very clear now.
The two of them had shamelessly framed Su Qingsang for money.
Li Hong was still weak. Suffering a few slaps, she lay on the bed with her face ghastly pale. But still, she never stopped accusing her husband and blaming him for everything.
Lin Gang completely forgot that there was a reporter in the ward. All he was thinking about was venting his anger.
The reporter hurriedly called the doctor. He was worried that Li Hong might become very weak. Nevertheless, the camera on his phone was still on the whole time.
It turned out that Lin Gang had falsely accused the doctor. It was shocking to the reporter that he even used violence against his wife.
All the people who had reposted the original Weibo post regretted being fooled by Lin Gang, after watching the live broadcast.
Soon, some of the drivers who had been scammed by Li Hong and Lin Gang started to tell their stories online. They said that Lin Gang and Li Hong were professional car-accident scammers. They had made use of Li Hong’s pregnancy and threatened the car owners for money.
Quite a lot of car owners proved that story. They pointed out how shameless Lin Gang was and how awful he could be just to get money.
After watching the live broadcast and the posts released by those car owners, no one believed in another word Lin Gang said.
His accusation was, of course, no longer effective. He ironically proved Su Qingsang’s innocence himself.
The account that had a huge number of followers on Weibo, which had initially released this news about Lin Gang’s accusation, suddenly fell silent. Then, the original post was deleted.
Many others then deleted the posts they had made about the incident.
As the original post was no longer online, the ones who had reposted it deleted their posts as well.
Soon after, the doctor-patient relationship became a hot topic again. Many patients questioned themselves, asking if they had been too strict on their doctors.
Some even said that people like Li Hong and Lin Gang didn’t deserve to be saved, that they should die.
They would never be grateful for the people who saved their lives. So, why should anyone try and save them?
Another hot topic soon emerged in the hot search list of Rong City—”The Most Beautiful Doctor I’ve Seen.”
Many people complimented their doctors’ appearance under that topic. Some even mentioned Su Qingsang.
Some of Su Qingsang’s patients shared their experiences of being treated by Su Qingsang, testifying that her demeanor was very warm and friendly.
Many compliments like that were suddenly emerging online, even though they hadn’t appeared while Su Qingsang was in trouble.
But anyhow, Su Qingsang’s crisis was over.
The third afternoon following the live broadcast, all Weibo posts that contained bad words about Su Qingsang and other doctors finally disappeared.
The only posts that were left to be seen were purely compliments about doctors. People said that doctors were doing such a difficult job, that they cured people, saved lives, but still had to suffer unfair accusations sometimes.
At last, the central hospital made an official post, saying that they would keep helping patients as they had vowed to, and that they would give Su Qingsang a special mention for her contributions. They also invited the society to supervise the work of doctors and promised that they would do a better job in the future.
