Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Strong

"This is a matter of principle. Since I’ve chosen to be a plastic surgeon, I’ve already prepared myself to face public opinion. But since I didn’t perform the surgery, I absolutely won’t admit to it."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the police station.

The situation here was rather unfavorable.

"This young lady indeed underwent another surgery previously, and we haven’t found evidence that she had any procedures done at another hospital."

So these accusations are valid.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Ji Yu frowned as she looked at the name, completely devoid of any recollection.

"But I am very certain that none of my patients have experienced a situation like this. Cases like this are extremely rare, and if I had handled it, I would definitely remember."

She had complete confidence in her memory.

"Miss Ji, it’s possible your memory is faulty, but the information on these records is accurate."

The police also understood that situations like this were not uncommon; it only depended on whether the doctor had a conscience.

Ji Yu furrowed her brows. "Impossible. I don’t believe there could be such a case. I hope you’ll continue investigating thoroughly, or at least confirm the true identity of this young lady."

At the very least, they should confirm if she really is Tang Tang.

"Alright, we’ll continue verifying, but one way or another, there’s no escaping her intentional assault in this incident."

While they sympathized with the previous plastic surgery accident, it happened so long ago that it was impossible to investigate the details clearly.

Ji Yu also wished to say a few words to this Tang Tang.

Tang Tang looked at Ji Yu with hatred in her eyes, fully embodying the attitude of a victim confronting the doctor responsible.

But Ji Yu remained absolutely convinced that this wasn’t her doing.

"Who sent you here? If you tell me now, we might still be able to talk."

She wanted to see if Tang Tang would speak the truth, but clearly, Tang Tang had done her homework beforehand.

She looked at Ji Yu with disdain. "I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Unfortunately, it was natural for Ji Yu not to remain calm in a situation like this.

"Oh really? You don’t know? You’ll know very soon. I’m curious to see what your reaction will be then."

She didn’t say another word, choosing instead to wait for Tang Tang to eventually reveal the truth herself.

Besides, the person’s true identity as Tang Tang still needed further verification.

After returning home, Ji Yu didn’t sit idly by. Instead, she began searching through patient records from several years ago to see if someone like this truly existed.

"Don’t you plan to take a rest?" Gu Qixiao understood her to some extent and decided to help search alongside her.

But the information about Tang Tang had already been completely destroyed. Even after scouring all the records, they couldn’t find a single shred of evidence regarding this patient.

"It’s possible they were prepared in advance. Why don’t you check if there’s another way, or see if your hospital’s previous records are missing anything."

"Absolutely impossible," Ji Yu was confident in the integrity of her prior records.

Moreover, these documents were under her supervision; there was no possibility of negligence.

"These records are all critical. Regardless of which patient, they’re always our responsibility. If there’s a subsequent issue with their facial procedures, we handle it, provided it’s within the bounds of protocol."

She had never failed before—how could there be a mistake now?

"Perhaps someone took Tang Tang’s files ahead of time?"

This seemed the most likely scenario.

But Ji Yu couldn’t think of anyone around her who might do such a thing.

She seriously doubted the authenticity of this matter.

As it turned out, the situation this time was somewhat different from what Ji Yu had imagined.

Meanwhile, the incident was escalating rapidly online.

[No updates for so long—does this mean it’s basically confirmed to be true?]

[I think it’s probably true; otherwise, how could there still be no rebuttal?]

[But didn’t Lu Yingdi recover pretty well before?]

[Those are just isolated cases.]

The online discussion was heated, as though the public had already decided Ji Yu had performed botched surgeries.

Ji Yu couldn’t find a single clue and had no idea how to prove her innocence.

"Let me help you remove all the online posts."

Gu Qixiao, worried about Ji Yu’s exhaustion, wanted to assist, but Ji Yu refused.

"No. Now that the situation has escalated to this point, simply removing the posts won’t resolve it. I suspect they’ll have more in store for us."

Though she looked troubled, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Tang Tang was hiding something.

"You don’t need to stay here with me. I’ll be fine. They can’t do anything to me other than talk online."

She didn’t want to owe Gu Qixiao any more favors.

Thinking about what Gu Qixiao had done earlier gave her even more of a headache.

"You’re still pregnant—you shouldn’t overexert yourself."

Gu Qixiao couldn’t feel at ease leaving Ji Yu alone, especially after what had just happened with the knife incident. How could he possibly relax?

"I’ll take you home. Since there’s nothing here in the records, we shouldn’t dwell on it."

But Ji Yu was unwilling to give up just yet.

"Yu, Mom was worried about your situation and sent me to get you." Ji Yuanzhou, who had been listening nearby for a while, knew perfectly well that this man didn’t have good intentions.

He stepped forward and directly grabbed Ji Yu’s hand.

Ji Yu was surprised to see Ji Yuanzhou. "Brother, why are you here?"

"Mom saw the news online, worried you might get into trouble, and told me to bring you home immediately."

The speed at which the news spread was fast, and the Ji family parents had always been closely monitoring updates about Ji Yu, making them particularly sensitive to matters like this.

Ji Yu felt a little embarrassed.

"I made Mom and Dad worry. It’s actually nothing serious—just a case from years ago. But I don’t have any records of it on my end; I feel like there must be some misunderstanding here."

Clearly, the Ji family had complete faith in Ji Yu.

"We all know how meticulous you are with surgeries; it’s absolutely impossible for you to make such errors."

He patted Ji Yu’s head, hoping she wouldn’t let this situation stress her out too much.

He didn’t even glance at Gu Qixiao, as though the man didn’t exist.

For a moment, Gu Qixiao wasn’t sure what to make of the relationship between Ji Yu and Ji Yuanzhou, or why they were meeting.

Moreover, they seemed surprisingly close.

"Yu, are you planning to keep searching?"

Fearing for Ji Yu’s well-being, Gu Qixiao voiced his concern.

But Ji Yu shook her head. "Since my brother is here to take me home, let’s put this aside for now. I estimate the police will have an update tomorrow."
