"It was clearly her intention!" Yang Lan retorted.
The woman was already being shielded by several burly men.
Yang Lan wanted the other party to clarify, but now, she could no longer see the burly men.
"She did it intentionally? Can you provide evidence?" the burly man questioned.
"There's surveillance here, we can go to the monitoring room," Yang Lan pointed to the camera overhead.
"Is that so? Who knows if you'll tamper with the footage?" the burly man challenged.
"You, you're just hooligans!" Yang Lan was so angered that her chest heaved violently.
But just then, Chen Mo patted Yang Lan's shoulder.
"You're with her, aren't you?" Chen Mo asked.
The burly men exchanged glances, then feigned ignorance. "Doctor, what do you mean? We don't understand. We just couldn't stand by and watch you bully a young girl."
"Director Chen, they're clearly working together," Yang Lan quickly said.
Chen Mo sized them up. "Go back and tell your boss that I, Chen Mo, am not afraid of such underhanded tactics."
The burly men smirked.
One of them said, "I don't know how good this kind of scummy doctor's medical skills are. What if someone dies from treatment? We'd better go to another hospital. We don't dare to take such small favors."
With that, the burly men turned and left.
The patients queuing nearby also began to leave their spots.
A look of disdain appeared on their faces.
"Director Chen, why did you let them go? Aren't you afraid they'll damage your reputation?" Yang Lan asked anxiously.
Chen Mo glanced at the peculiar looks they were receiving from those around them. "It's useless. That woman won't admit it."
"But we have surveillance, don't we?" Yang Lan pointed to the camera overhead.
Chen Mo smiled. "Do you expect everyone here to watch the video from earlier? They're here for medical treatment, not to solve a case."
"But..." Yang Lan wanted to say more, but Chen Mo raised his hand to interrupt her.
"There's no 'but'."
"In this situation, even if I could convince these people that I didn't do anything, it wouldn't mean much."
"Let's get back to work."
After speaking, Chen Mo sat down at his desk and continued to see patients.
As expected, soon, what had happened there seemed to be forgotten.
No one looked at Chen Mo with any peculiar glances anymore.
This continued until the afternoon.
Chen Mo finally returned to his department.
However, to Chen Mo's surprise, Jiang Hongwen stood in the department with a displeased expression.
Moreover, Chen Mo noticed that everyone in the office looked rather grim.
"Vice President Jiang, what brings you to our department? Is there something you need?" Chen Mo asked.
Chang Wei approached Chen Mo. "Brother Mo, I'll show you something, and you'll understand."
Saying that, Chang Wei took out his phone and played a video.
Chen Mo and the others watched.
When Yang Lan saw the content, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, isn't this that woman from today? Who put the video online?!" Yang Lan asked, stunned.
"Dr. Yang, what exactly happened?" Chang Wei couldn't help but ask.
Yang Lan recounted the entire incident.
Upon hearing this, Chang Wei's face showed a hint of anger. "That woman is truly shameless! If I ever see her, I'll smash her face in!"
Yang Lan suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Jiang Hongwen. "Vice President Jiang, there's a surveillance camera in that area. If we retrieve the footage and post it online, won't that prove Director Chen's innocence?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more somber.
"What's wrong?" Yang Lan asked.
Chang Wei explained, "Dr. Yang, Vice President Jiang just came from the monitoring room. The surveillance footage from that location was tampered with. The footage from that time is missing."
"What?!" Yang Lan was shocked.
"So that means someone is deliberately targeting Director Chen," Yang Lan suddenly realized.
Everyone nodded slightly.
Jiang Hongwen looked at Chen Mo and said, "Director Chen, the hospital believes you in this matter. Don't worry, your work will not be affected in any way."
Chen Mo, however, smiled calmly. "Vice President Jiang, there's no need for such trouble. I'll come to the hospital if there's anything during this period, but for now, I'll take some time off. I need to go out of town for a few days anyway."
Jiang Hongwen pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
Chen Mo looked at everyone around him. "Everyone, don't worry, I'll be fine. I don't take these childish tactics seriously."
Everyone remained silent.
Because they knew that the internet was now filled with curses, and there was clearly a mastermind behind it, with the click count rapidly increasing and expected to break one hundred million soon.
"Alright, everyone, let's go home," Chen Mo said with a faint smile, taking Tian Mengyao and leaving the hospital.
In the car on the way home.
Tian Mengyao's expression was quite upset, and she kept furiously typing on her phone.
Chen Mo curiously glanced over and saw that Tian Mengyao was indignantly refuting the trolls.
He reached out and turned off Tian Mengyao's phone.
Tian Mengyao was startled. "What are you doing? I was explaining for you."
Chen Mo pulled Tian Mengyao into his embrace. "If explanations were useful, this wouldn't have caused such a huge uproar. This is clearly someone fanning the flames from behind."
Tian Mengyao's angry expression was somewhat displeased.
"Don't be angry. Out of sight, out of mind," Chen Mo comforted her.
Tian Mengyao asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Chen Mo nodded. "I am."
"Then aren't you going to do something about it?"
Chen Mo shook his head. "Because I want to see what those people are trying to do, and who the person hiding behind them is."
Tian Mengyao still looked angry. "Do you know? Information about you is spreading all over the internet."
Chen Mo remained silent. Several figures had already appeared in his mind.
Only a few people had the energy to do such a thing.
At this moment, at the entrance of a residential complex in the old urban area of Longhua, a man with a bruised and swollen face sat in a commercial vehicle, asking coldly, "Have you found out everything?"
"Mr. Yu, we inquired with Master Ma. The woman lives here," a young man pointed to the residential building next to them.
The man with the bruised and swollen face was none other than Yu Honglong.
Yu Honglong's expression was grim. "Damn it, how dare she plot against Mr. Chen? She's really bold. Wait, tie her up immediately. I want to know who the person behind her is!"
Just then, a figure emerged from the staircase.
Seeing this figure, the young man quickly said, "Mr. Yu, she's coming out!"
