Chapter 179: Chapter 178, the clinic is smashed, Xu Wendong is ruined

”What? The medical clinic was smashed?” Xu Wendong was completely stunned, ”Damn, who is so bold that they dare to smash my clinic?”

Xu Wendong was really a bit confused.

He’s been running the clinic honestly, and although he’s upset some people, there’s a big boss from the underground forces in Qingyuan backing him up. Who would dare cross him?

Liu Cai He said calmly, ”It seems to be some common folks!”

”Alright, alright, I got it. I’m coming back now.” Xu Wendong didn’t know what happened, hung up the phone, returned to the bedroom quickly, got dressed, and after saying goodbye to Ding Yao, rushed downstairs.

Just as he reached the parking lot, he got a call from his sister-in-law Lin Yiren, ”Wendong, how could you employ child labor? Don’t you know this is illegal?”

”Sister-in-law, who said I employed child labor?” Xu Wendong was on the verge of tears. Meanwhile, he got in the car and started driving away from Ding Yao’s neighborhood.

”I’ll send you a video, and you’ll understand everything!” Lin Yiren sighed.

After hanging up, Xu Wendong received a video link sent by his sister-in-law. He clicked on it, and Little Stone appeared in the video, with Xu’s Medical Hall in the background.

Someone asked, ”Kid, why do you come here every day?”

Little Stone’s innocent face showed a bright and cheerful smile, ”I come here to work!”

The person continued to ask, ”You work here?”

”Yes, I clean and take out the trash here, and Uncle Xu even pays me a salary.” Little Stone’s smile didn’t change, seeming proud of having this job.

The scene froze here but a voiceover appeared: ”The owner of Xu’s Medical Hall appears selfless, offering free treatment to the public, but in fact, has a dark and evil heart, violating labor laws, recruiting child labor, letting a child work here. This is the flower of our country’s future, such behavior must be severely punished by law!”

Opening the comment section, many unbearable comments appeared in front of Xu Wendong.

”Medical clinics, like hospitals, are filled with germs. The clinic’s owner letting a child clean there is truly heartless, he deserves death!”

”He’s just using the clinic as a front, using kindness as bait to attract more people. After all, helping people can’t be as valuable as someone else’s kidney.”

”Exactly, if I’m not mistaken, there must be a black industry chain behind the owner of Xu’s Medical Hall. After all, who would want to do a loss-making business these days? Helping people for free is already abnormal!”

”This clinic must be shut down.”

”If Xu’s Medical Hall is not closed, every citizen in Qingyuan County is responsible!”

”I heard the owner of Xu’s Medical Hall is an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, but he drives a Mercedes worth tens of millions. Doesn’t that sound fishy to you?”

”Offering free help but driving a car worth tens of millions, that’s truly horrifying upon deeper thinking!”

”I was once treated by Xu Wendong. He only used massage and acupuncture for treatment. He did cure my headache before, but I feel it’s only temporary relief. The headache will soon reoccur. If I’m not mistaken, by then he’ll definitely prescribe some expensive medicines, just using free treatment as a long-term bait!”

”I’m a woman, I was also treated by Xu Wendong. He massaged my body, I fell asleep, but I always felt he took advantage of me when I was asleep.”

The internet was filled with keyboard warriors, critiquing everything without distinguishing right from wrong. Besides them, some people who resented the rich, upon knowing Xu Wendong drove a luxury car, became unsettled, and unbearable insults flooded in.

Especially the woman claiming Xu Wendong took advantage of her when she was asleep sparked much support from women’s rights advocates: ”Sisters, always protect yourself when outside. You never know when we might be targeted by wolves in sheep’s clothing. Even when going to hospitals, it’s better to have someone close accompany you.”

Looking at those online comments, Xu Wendong felt rage boiling. Although what Little Stone said was true, this matter was clearly taken out of context.

It was obvious someone was targeting him, trying to use public opinion to force him to shut down the clinic.

Who it was remained unknown, but what he needed to do now was return to the clinic immediately and rescue Liu Cai He. If someone really broke into the clinic to harm Liu Cai He, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After all, that woman was someone even he was wary of. If things spiraled out of control, even if Xu Wendong went all out, he wouldn’t be able to stop it.

He returned to the clinic as fast as he could, only to find many people blocking the entrance. Some were spraying paint on the doors and walls, while others were smashing the door.

”The owner of the clinic is here!”

The moment Xu Wendong appeared, someone noticed him, and suddenly a large group surrounded him, their eyes filled with hostility.

Those unaware might think Xu Wendong had committed heinous crimes.

Meanwhile, the police also arrived, surrounding Xu Wendong to prevent people from attacking him.

Indeed.

Besides the police, there was also Xu Fan from the TV station and people from the labor bureau.

She came to interview again.

However, this time her face was full of bitterness. She had once spoken positively for Xu’s Medical Hall, only to find herself now interviewing Xu Wendong for employing child labor.

Facing the camera, she directed the microphone towards Xu Wendong, ”Doctor Xu, regarding the video online, do you have anything to say? Did you really employ a child laborer to handle the cleaning at your clinic?”

Xu Wendong forced a smile, ”What’s said online is true.”

Xu Fan continued, ”Why did you do it?”

She wanted to give Xu Wendong a chance to explain because she didn’t believe Xu Wendong would knowingly break the law.

Why did I do it?

Of course, I hoped to add some kindness and warmth to this world!

But!

I’ve become a target of public condemnation.

Would anyone believe that if I said it?

Xu Wendong’s face showed a bitter smile, ”Maybe I was possessed.”

He didn’t defend himself much because he knew that sometimes the more you defend, the worse it gets. After all, netizens don’t care about details; they only care about finding an outlet for their emotions.

That’s all!

At that moment, a labor bureau official spoke up, ”Xu Wendong, based on your violation of labor laws, we impose the following penalty: a five thousand yuan fine, revocation of your business license. Do you accept this punishment?”

”I accept!” Xu Wendong looked up at the brand-new sign of Xu’s Medical Hall, his heart felt as if it was cut by a knife, leaving him nearly breathless.

Everything I did was for the people’s benefit, so why did it end up in such a miserable situation?
