Chapter 3086: 2883 New Situation in the Internet Era

After watching the video, Sun Zeli was also dumbfounded; the chill on her face warmed a little. The medical staff had no problem—it was a normal preoperative preparation—but the patient suddenly went mad, startling her in that instant.

"Zheng Lao Ban, I was a bit agitated just now, sorry," Sun Zeli said.

"It's fine, I'm used to it," Zheng Ren said. "Everyone thinks the patient might have a mental illness, but I don't think so."

"Not a mental illness?"

"No, definitely not!" Su Yun said firmly. "This method is similar to a magician's; we've found relevant experts to handle this."

"Experts…" Sun Zeli froze for a moment—this works!

Director Ma listened with one ear to Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and Sun Zeli chatting, while focusing his main energy on the growing public opinion.

After all, the Medical University Affiliated Hospital isn't 912, and Director Ma isn't Ye Qingqiu; if this were placed in Ye Qingqiu's hands, it would be a mess, let alone…

At first it was just some self-media fraud, but with viral spread, many self-media outlets had already acted early, starting to chase buzz.

Just the information fed back by those few guns under Director Ma's command was enough to make him collapse.

Condemnations in public opinion already showed a faint trend of outbreak, even though the matter was only just beginning and it wasn't yet night when everyone was bored and scrolling news.

"Director Ma, why are your brows furrowing tighter and tighter? What's wrong?" Su Yun asked.

"It's over… it's over…" Director Ma muttered.

Su Yun glanced at Director Ma's phone, then started scrolling through her own for a while, sighing, "The media and self-media are all getting moving."

"How?" Zheng Ren asked, having never dealt with this sort of thing before and not knowing what was involved.

"Basically it's just patients bleeding nonstop from the eyes, crawling out of the operating room; the headline—whatever eye‑catching words you imagine will appear." Su Yun said. "Director Ma, haven't you contacted the relevant department to control this?"

"We've tried… but time is too tight." Director Ma said with a mournful face. "Our rank isn't high enough; the hospital is still coordinating."

"Get in touch quickly—don't you have an emergency response plan? That shouldn't be the case." Su Yun asked.

"What's going on?" Zheng Ren saw Director Ma also in a dazed state and roughly guessed what had happened.

Such things used to be common—like midwies suturing a parturient's anus—back then information spread wasn't as fast as now, but even through print media it caused huge waves, almost becoming common knowledge.

"What else could it be? All kinds of media are rushing to grab eyeballs. I'm telling you, if we drag this out overnight, who knows what'll happen tomorrow." Su Yun thought, then said, "Director Ma, now is the time to solve the problem."

"Huh?"

"The people opposite are sharp; anyway, I've never seen someone who, when something happens, doesn't fight or kick up a fuss but instead sits pitifully at the hospital gate." Su Yun said. "This is a new problem in the new situation… not mentioning that, I feel they should know the relevant departments will step in soon—now is the best time to resolve the issue."

Su Yun also factored in the cost of facial recognition at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital; Director Ma grasped it instantly, though he too was a bit dazed. They had never encountered such an event before—a short video became the catalyst, pushing the entire Medical University Affiliated Hospital into a bottomless abyss.

The situation's progress was faster than he imagined—many times faster.

He had originally thought it would take at least 24 hours to spiral out of control, but with countless self-media outlets fanning the flames and countless big Vs posting indignant tweets, it lost control in just over two hours.

Even if the relevant departments intervene later, the Medical University Affiliated Hospital would still have nothing good to eat. This is the most dangerous moment, and of course also the best time to solve the problem.

If every step of this is in their calculation, they couldn't possibly not know that the relevant departments would intervene.

Besides, even if the director of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital were dismissed, it wouldn't matter to that gang of medical troublemakers. Their demand is to make money; now is the time to profit through harmony. If everything is a setup, then now is that balance point.

Su Yun is somewhat of an outsider and close to the internet, so she can make a clear judgment at times like this. People like Director Ma, of the older generation, still think solving the problem by midnight would be early; even if it ferments, it won't be that fast.

He immediately stood up, called Sun Chao, and hurried away.

"Su Yun, what's happening?" Seeing Director Ma leave, Zheng Ren asked.

Su Yun said, then slapped her thigh, "I forgot to tell Director Ma… Boss, ask where Dahungya is."

Zheng Ren made a call; Dahungya was on the expressway, speeding along and would exit in about an hour. Judging by the time, he must have been speeding the whole way—basically, after passing a camera he'd push the car to 200 mph, racing all the way.

"I'll let Director Ma know—don't rush to give a huge payout," Su Yun said. "Wait a bit for Dahungya; I'm curious how we'll handle him."

Zheng Ren has no idea about this, just like most doctors; he puts all his energy into studying and mastering new skills—who has time to learn those demonic tricks?

"Reporter Sun, what's Director Ma worried about?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Self-media will spread it; the thing will probably hit the hot search soon. I watched that initial clip—it's indeed excellent material." Sun Zeli frowned, worriedly saying, "The situation will likely exceed everyone's expectations; that clip is too shocking. I watched the video, and after getting your call I was still thinking, please don't let this be it."

"Later, seeing a patient with blood‑tears streaming in the cold wind at the gate of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital, I was furious!" Sun Zeli sighed and said, "Zheng Lao Ban, you're definitely involved in a medical disturbance, right?"

"Uh… I can be sure the patient's condition isn't serious, and even if there are blood‑tears, they weren't caused by doctors beating him. You've seen the video too; now I can only confirm these points."

"Then the expert you just mentioned…"

"He's an old acquaintance of mine who used to be a medical troublemaker, now reformed and working as a security guard." Zheng Ren gave a wry smile. "I asked him, and he said right away it was just a little trick—he drove over straight away to expose it in person, which works better."

"……"

Zheng Ren couldn't figure it out, and Sun Zeli surely couldn't either, but she felt moved: Zheng Lao Ban really has contacts across all strata—those southern earth masters are the top of the three teachings and nine streams, not to mention he's even in touch with the lowest‑level swindlers who wander the rivers and lakes.

Really impressive!

"Reporter Sun, it's been less than three hours—how the hell did it spread so fast?" Zheng Ren sighed.
