Chapter 82

Although Wu Potian had started practicing at the clinic, many patients questioned his medical skills due to his young age. They preferred to wait in line rather than be treated by him. To gain the patients' trust, Wu Potian would not ask about their conditions beforehand but instead diagnose them through pulse-taking, accurately describing their illnesses.

Wu Potian's method was undoubtedly very successful. When he clearly stated each patient's condition, some patients who had intended to see Wu Qingsheng but could not wait any longer turned to Wu Potian for treatment. This not only alleviated Wu Qingsheng's workload but also earned Wu Potian a lot of gratitude.

Although Wu Qingsheng knew that Wu Potian had mastered medical skills, he had no idea how much Wu Potian had learned. After half a day, he saw that Wu Potian's medical skills were no less than his own, and in treating some minor illnesses, Wu Potian's methods were even more effective. This made Wu Qingsheng, who had always wanted his son to carry on his legacy, feel very gratified.

Around noon, just as Wu Potian was about to go to the backyard for lunch, Wang Hu rushed into the clinic. Seeing Wu Potian sitting at a table treating a patient, he quickly approached and excitedly said, "Potian! Did you see the morning news? Xu Chunming was taken away by the city's disciplinary committee, and Xu Guozheng, the playboy, is under investigation by the city bureau for multiple assault cases. Xu Chunming's backer, Xiao Changqing, has been transferred to the city's CPPCC to retire."

"I've always been curious about who uploaded the last video to the internet. After the investigation team arrived, I found out that the person who uploaded the video was actually the auxiliary police officer who was scapegoated by Xu Chunming."

Wu Potian had been treating patients in the clinic all morning and had no time to watch the news. When he heard Wang Hu's account, he was first shocked and then puzzled. Originally, he had expected that the video scandal would only prevent Xu Chunming from becoming the police chief, but it did not seem to affect Xu Chunming and his son. However, not only were Xu Chunming and his son imprisoned, but even Xu Chunming's backer was transferred from the police department. This was certainly beyond his expectations.

Although this outcome left Wu Potian puzzled, he did not immediately ask Wang Hu for the truth because there were still patients around. After treating the patient in front of him, he pulled Wang Hu aside and asked with a serious expression, "Hu! Tell me the truth, what exactly happened? Although the video scandal caused a lot of noise, the two videos and one recording should only prevent Xu Chunming from becoming the chief. How could it lead to Xu Chunming and his son being imprisoned, and even the police chief of Jiaoning City being forced to step down?"

Wang Hu's face immediately showed a profound expression when he heard Wu Potian's words. Although he did not orchestrate the events that followed, he understood the entire situation from Chen Shengping. He knew that the video had almost ended his political career, but after the city's party secretary, Li Xidong, learned Lin Xiaqing's identity, he turned the situation around and became a major contributor to the successful control of the Jiaoning City police department.

Thinking about what Chen Shengping had told him, Wang Hu replied mysteriously, "Potian! In fact, the last video was the key. It was because of this video that the city bureau decided to investigate Xu Chunming and his son. But to be honest, it also has something to do with you."

Wu Potian felt even more confused after hearing Wang Hu's response and asked, "Hu! Since the video scandal started, no one from the police bureau or any journalists has ever contacted me. How could it be related to me?"

"Potian! Do you remember the auxiliary police officer who came to the clinic to arrest you yesterday and was shouted down by you? Perhaps because there are too many news stories about temporary workers being scapegoated, after being shouted down by you, he inexplicably recorded the entire process with his phone. Xu Chunming, to find a scapegoat, saw that the auxiliary police officer's connections had already retired, so he made him the scapegoat. To prove his innocence, the auxiliary police officer uploaded the video to the internet." Wang Hu, recalling the incident, felt lucky and immediately provided Wu Potian with the details.

Wu Potian immediately remembered the auxiliary police officer who had tried to handcuff him. At the time, he had just shouted at him casually, but it had awakened the officer, making it impossible for Xu Chunming to shift the blame. However, even so, Xu Chunming should have only been dismissed. Why did both he and his son end up in prison, and even his backer was transferred from his position?

Thinking about this, Wu Potian looked up at the excited Wang Hu and asked, puzzled, "Hu! If it was just the video, it shouldn't have led to Xu Chunming and his son being imprisoned, nor should it have led to Xu Chunming's backer being transferred from the police department. What exactly happened? Don't play games with me, just be straightforward."

There was a reason why Wang Hu had not revealed the entire story. When he heard Wu Potian's request, he replied mysteriously, "Of course, with Xiao Changqing's influence in Jiaoning City, it wouldn't be enough to implicate him just because of Xu Chunming. It's just that Xiao Changqing's luck was bad, and the city's party secretary, Li Xidong, has always wanted to control the police department. A crucial figure appeared in the video, and the people behind Xiao Changqing were afraid to speak up for him, which ultimately led to his transfer."

After Wang Hu vividly described the truth, Wu Potian felt as if he had grasped something, but when he tried to understand it, he couldn't find the key point. He carefully recalled every scene in the video, and then Lin Xiaqing's mother appeared in his mind, making him feel a shock. He asked Wang Hu seriously, "Hu! Tell me the truth, is the person you mentioned Lin Xiaqing? Did you know her identity?"

Wu Potian's question surprised Wang Hu. He didn't expect Wu Potian to guess that the key figure was Lin Xiaqing so quickly. At that moment, he even thought that Wu Potian must have known Lin Xiaqing's identity from the beginning. He immediately asked Wu Potian, "Potian! How did you know the key figure was Lin Xiaqing? Did you know her identity from the beginning, which is why you agreed to date her? You don't seem like the type to seek connections for personal gain, do you?"
