Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

”Also, you have to say he can’t cure illnesses and only knows how to scam money,” Wang Haoyu instructed over the phone. ”Just say your neighbor went to him for lower back pain, but it got worse the more he treated it. Finally, they went to a big hospital for a check-up, and they said it was delayed by his herbal medicine—the more specific, the better, to make netizens believe it.”

Xiaoya followed every instruction, adding fuel to the fire in the livestream: ”My neighbor, Aunt Zhang, went to him to treat her herniated disc. He prescribed some pitch-black herbal medicine. After drinking it for half a month, she was in so much pain she couldn’t even stand up. When she went to the hospital, they said the nerve compression had become more severe, and she almost needed surgery! When Aunt Zhang went to argue with him, he even said, ’It’s because your constitution is poor, it has nothing to do with my medicine.’ It’s too much!”

The popularity of the livestream kept rising. The topic #Li Yong Old Pervert# shot up like a rocket, quickly surpassing #Li Yong Miracle Doctor Treatment Cases# and rushing to the 12th spot on the trending list.

The paid trolls fanned the flames in the comment section, reposting clips of Xiaoya’s livestream everywhere. Some even began digging up Li Yong’s home address and his grandson’s school, threatening to ”uphold justice.”

”Uncle Li, don’t listen to her nonsense!” Gu Jingshen rushed into the clinic with his phone, his hands shaking with anger. ”This Xiaoya, it was clearly Wang Haoyu who harassed her initially, and you saved her. Now she’s actually turning around to slander you!”

Li Yong was sitting at the table, watching the clip of Xiaoya’s livestream on his phone. His face was as pale as paper, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, his knuckles white. Hearing Gu Jingshen’s words, he suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling: ”I saved her. How can she say such things about me? I have practiced medicine for decades and have never had any crooked intentions toward a patient. How can she fabricate such lies...”

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. His chest heaved violently, and he suddenly began to cough—a heart-wrenching, tearing cough, as if he were trying to cough up his lungs.

Zhang Fan quickly handed him a cup of water and gently patted his back: ”Uncle Li, don’t get agitated. Her words are full of holes; anyone with a discerning eye can see they are fake. She took Wang Haoyu’s money, which is why she fabricated these lies. As long as we produce evidence, we can expose her.”

”Evidence? What evidence?” Li Yong took the water cup, his voice full of despair. ”She has a ’notebook,’ she has ’neighbor cases,’ what do I have? I can’t exactly make Aunt Zhang come and confront her, can I? Aunt Zhang moved away to another place last year; I can’t get in touch with her!”

”We don’t need Aunt Zhang.” Zhang Fan took out his phone and opened the message Liu Ruyan had just sent. ”Liu Ruyan has already found out that the ’neighbor Aunt Zhang’ Xiaoya mentioned never went to you for treatment—Aunt Zhang’s herniated disc was operated on at City First Hospital three years ago. She has recovered very well now and has never drunk your herbal medicine.”

”Liu Ruyan has already contacted Aunt Zhang’s daughter, and she is willing to record a video to testify and expose Xiaoya’s lies.”

He paused and added: ”Also, Xiaoya said you threatened to make her boyfriend lose his job—her boyfriend wasn’t even working last year; he was unemployed at home. How could he have been ’reported for slacking off’? These lies can be debunked with just a little bit of investigation.”

Gu Jingshen also nodded: ”Right! Fan Zi has already had the public relations team prepare. In a moment, we’ll throw these pieces of evidence out there and let Xiaoya and Wang Haoyu see that lying comes with a price!”

Looking at Zhang Fan’s determined gaze, the despair in Li Yong’s heart gradually dissipated. He wiped away his tears and gripped the water cup tightly: ”Okay... okay! I trust you all! This Xiaoya, and Wang Haoyu, they cannot slander me like this. I want everyone to know the truth!”
