Chapter 628: Chapter 628: Divine Doctor, Please Save My Son!

Shi Yaoguang was actually unaware that Song Dada had smeared her reputation; not only did she not feel there was an issue with herself, but she also resented her for it.

In fact, she didn’t do much—she merely clarified things she hadn’t done.

Bullying an old man... that’s something...

Presumably, a normal person wouldn’t do it.

She didn’t understand how Song Dada could think that she would bully an old man.

Moreover,

when several old professors arrived, they came in official cars.

If Song Dada had been a little more observant, he wouldn’t have missed those cars.

If after seeing the official cars and special licenses, he still stubbornly believed that Shi Yaoguang was bullying people, that could only indicate a problem with his brain.

Since there was a problem with his brain, well...

there wasn’t much left to say.

...

Initially, only Shi Yaoguang herself knew about the invitations from various research institutes.

After Song Dada’s meddling, many people became aware of Shi Yaoguang’s situation.

If the research institutes were all competing to recruit her, it showed how impressive she was.

Knowing how capable she was, who would dare to question her?

Even those who had lost their bets in the PK competition no longer harbored any grievances against her.

Before the PK competition started, Yaoguang had declared that she would definitely place in the top three.

Although it wasn’t her intention to spread the word, she indeed had said something similar.

Having mentioned it, naturally, she wouldn’t be afraid of any doubts from others.

She said it, she acknowledged it.

There’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Since she had admitted it, it was inevitable that some people thought she was arrogant.

Boasting before the competition could start might just be bluffing.

Or perhaps, they thought she was merely trying to attract attention, having no real achievements to show for herself.

Overall, for various reasons, in the betting pool organized by Bai Zhantang, they chose the option that was not in their favor.

In this case.

Bai Zhantang was naturally happy.

Seeing others lose money, he, as the house, naturally welcomed it.

But...

The losers would not reflect on the fact that if they hadn’t gambled, they wouldn’t have lost.

Nor would they consider the risks of gambling, how a careless move could lead to losing everything they had.

The prospect of winnings at the gambling tables had dazzled them, blinding them to anything but the potential profits they could gain and ignoring all other possibilities.

What they would have to forfeit in the event of a loss was not within their realm of consideration.

Since they were set on trying their luck, they were naturally very confident about their choice.

When the outcome of the gamble was disappointing, they wouldn’t blame themselves or reflect on whether they could have done better.

They would only think that it wasn’t their fault.

If the betting hadn’t been so profitable, they wouldn’t have lost at all.

In short.

A combination of various factors converged into a single word.

Gambling.

Those who lost wouldn’t think there was a problem with themselves.

They wouldn’t consider whether they had made the wrong bet or something else.

They would only feel that there might be some foul play involved.

What kind of foul play?

For instance...

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t that amazing after all.

Why could she win?

That’s because she knew from the start that she was definitely going to win.

But why did she know so early that she would win?

It must be because...

She had known the outcome all along.

She certainly must have used some disgraceful means before the competition even started.

Only that way could she be so confident in herself before the contest had even begun.

Upon such reflection, Shi Yaoguang naturally became the target of public outrage.

"There must have been someone behind Shi Yaoguang, otherwise, how could she possibly claim she’d place in the top three before the competition even started?"

"Exactly! With so many competitors and a great variety of entries, how could she be so sure that she’d definitely secure one of the top three spots?"

"Not to speak out of turn, but I think the work of that senior from the Architecture Department was really good! Even if he couldn’t get first or second, third was definitely within reach."

"I also think the work of the senior from the Math Department was excellent. Honestly speaking, it’s only because she didn’t enter it for the Nobel that she didn’t get this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Otherwise, it would have been hers for sure."

"And there are others..."

Each person had a different opinion on the results of the competition.

What they shared was the belief that there was something underhanded about Shi Yaoguang securing a spot in the top three.

Of course, those who thought this way were all people who had lost money.

They simply considered that if there was indeed something wrong with Shi Yaoguang, the money they’d bet might somehow be retrievable.

Naturally, it would be for the best if there was an issue with Shi Yaoguang, or even if there wasn’t, pinning a charge on her would suffice.

An observer sees clearer.

The worth of what Shi Yaoguang presented was evident to anyone with eyes to see.

Those who wished to save their own skin by smearing Shi Yaoguang, even if they were hopping mad, had no other recourse.

They had eagerly awaited an opportunity to bring down Shi Yaoguang, and after the post by Big Boss Song went out, these people spared no effort in trying to trample her further.

Alas...

In the end, it was their misjudgment.

On reflection, they also came to their senses.

With so many professors vying for Shi Yaoguang’s attention, her skills and talent were beyond doubt.

By that time, if anyone still believed her competition results were rigged,

Then...

They might as well start from scratch.

Even if it was to reclaim their lost bets, making up such blatant lies was unacceptable.

Otherwise...

Even getting their bets back wouldn’t save them.

...

Shi Yaoguang was indifferent to the tumultuous online environment.

Ever since she healed the Lin Family patriarch, her reputation seemed to have spread far and wide.

Unbeknownst to her, the title "Miracle Doctor" had already been imposed upon her.

"Miracle Doctor, please save my son!"

One day, as Shi Yaoguang stepped out of the school gates, she was stopped by a woman past her fifties.

As soon as the woman saw her, she fell to her knees with a thud.

Shi Yaoguang hadn’t anticipated such an action and hadn’t had the chance to stop her.

This time, Shi Yaoguang was truly knelt to.

Passersby witnessing the scene didn’t rush to any judgment.

After all...

Shi Yaoguang had proved others wrong often enough.

Now who wouldn’t think twice before taking sides?

Fearful of making the wrong choice after careful consideration.

That would indeed be quite embarrassing.

Luckily, Shi Yaoguang wasn’t the petty sort.

She wouldn’t point at your nose and scold you for siding incorrectly.

Still, they couldn’t help feeling the sting of embarrassment on their own faces.

To avoid such embarrassment again, they knew to think twice upon encountering an issue, to consider whether there might be another side to the story.

Even upon witnessing a woman past fifty kneeling to Shi Yaoguang, they wouldn’t accuse Shi Yaoguang of bullying without careful thought.
