Chapter 64 Confrontation On The Spot
Although the live interview in Topstate Hospital had ended, there were still many reporters and onlookers surrounding Leslie.
Facing the endless questions of reporters and the onlookers screaming excitedly, Leslie responded to them respectively with a smile. He was gleeful at this moment.
He left with shame and indignation after Zachary managed to cure Abby in front of the shopping mall that day. The more he thought about it, the more resentful he became. Fortunately, his acquaintance happened to have taken a video of the situation that day.
Therefore, he made a bold decision. He asked for the video from his acquaintance and edited it. Then, he sent the video to Ludington TV in the name of a warm-hearted citizen. He wanted to take credit for what had happened that day. He was not afraid of Zachary because he was the chief physician in Topstate Hospital whereas Zachary was just a jobless Chinese physician. It was obvious who the people would trust.
As for the onlookers who knew the truth, they were not a threat to him. He would become famous after being featured in the news. His image would be fixed by that time. No one would believe those onlookers even if they told the truth. They would only be judged for being jealous of him.
After becoming famous, Leslie would have more confidence in climbing his career ladder, and also in winning over Lauren's heart. Thinking of this, he put on a bright smile. His smile made the onlookers screamed even more enthusiastically. Leslie answered the reporter's questions patiently in a very detailed way. He was trying to portray himself as a young and promising model doctor with excellent medical skills and noble medical ethics. He also pretended not to care about fame and fortune. As for personal information, he hinted to everyone that he had a close relationship with Lauren.
Leslie was good-looking and charismatic. He occasionally revealed some small stories between himself and Lauren, attracting many audience. The atmosphere there was very lively.
All of a sudden, a nurse came over in a hurry and whispered to Leslie, "Dr. Chao, there are two people looking for you outside."
"Who are they? Just tell them I'm busy now and let them wait for me," Leslie said unhappily in a low voice.
The nurse was a little nervous, "Dr. Chao, they seem to come with bad intentions. They..."
A loud noise sounded behind Leslie before the nurse could finish speaking. Leslie turned around and saw two people pushing the security guards around him away. They strode over aggressively.
"Here they are..." The nurse yelled and hid immediately.
Leslie saw Zachary and a cold woman walking towards him. He felt a surge of panic, but he calmed himself down immediately and greeted them with a smile. "What can I do for you?"
Zachary looked at Leslie coldly and then turned to the reporters who were aiming their cameras at himself. He bellowed, "Leslie, you'll better narrate once more about the incident of saving the little girl that day, as well as the relationship between you and Lauren."
"What do you mean? I have told the reporters in detail about what happened that day. Please go back and watch the news if you want to know more about it."
Zachary looked at him indifferently. He stepped forward and looked at the reporters, saying in a deep voice, "Dear reporters, I can testify that it was not Leslie who saved the little girl in front of the shopping mall. He is not as righteous as what he portrayed himself to be."
"Sir, who are you? Why do you say so?"
"If it wasn't Dr. Chao who saved the little girl, then who did? Also, why do you choose to reveal the truth now?"
...
The reporters were sensitive to gossip. They quickly caught the hot topic and asked in a hurry.
"My name is Zachary Ching and I am a Chinese physician. The reason why I said so was that I was at the scene that day, and I was the one who treated the patient. I decided to reveal the truth because I don't want everyone to be fooled by a doctor with poor medical skills who is just trying to seek fame. Your effort and money you spend on seeking treatment will be in vain."
Zachary's statement stirred an uproar among the reporters. They bombarded Leslie with more questions.

Leslie became anxious, shouting, "This man is talking nonsense! He has no evidence at all. He is just a man who is seeking fame. Don't believe what he said."
The girls who were fangirling at Leslie were furious at this moment. They cursed at Zachary.
On the other hand, the reporters started to ask questions again.
"Mr. Ching, do you have any evidence to prove that it was you who saved the patient?"
"Mr. Ching, are you the one who invented the refining ointment?" A reporter suddenly thought of something and asked.
...
"Yes, I am!" Zachary nodded. He said deeply, "I don't have any evidence about what happened that day, but there were many people who were present. I believe I can find the witness to prove it."
Leslie was anxious and mad. He shouted loudly, "My reporter friends! He is trying to slander my reputation without any evidence. I'm going to sue him."
A reporter seemed to have some doubts and asked, "Dr. Chao, Mr. Ching is the inventor of refining ointment. I don't think he still needs to make himself famous."
Hearing this, anger welled up in Leslie's chest. He couldn't wait to kick the reporter out. However, he could only suppress his anger, "I don't care who he is because it seems to have nothing to do with this incident. He can't provide evidence, nor does he have any witnesses. He is just slandering my reputation. Also, he is not a doctor. I really doubt his ability to save patients."
His words obtained the support of his fangirls. The girls who were fawning over him started to scold Zachary.
"Bast*rd, stop slandering the reputation of our Dr. Chao. Get out of here!"

"You're not even a doctor, and you tried to take his credit! How ridiculous!"
...
"I'm a professional Chinese physician," Zachary said with a stony expression. He took out his Physician's Qualification Certificate and showed it to the reporters. "You can test my medical skills now if you don't believe me." "How can we test you?" A reporter asked.
Zachary took a glance at him lightly, "Although you look burly, your Qi is weak and you have mild anemia. You often feel exhausted because you don't sleep well due to night sweats. You have to nourish your body!" Hearing this, the reporter was stunned. Then, Zachary looked at the other reporters and pointed out their symptoms instantly.
"You've just received an appendectomy. You need to rest more."
"Your menstruation is irregular. You should pay attention to your lifestyle."
"Your eyes look yellowish. I advise you to check your liver immediately at the hospital. Perhaps you will have a better prognosis."
...
Zachary pointed out the diseases of more than a dozen reporters accurately in just a few minutes. The reporters were surprised to the point that they exclaimed, "Miracle doctor!"
