Chapter 245 Worthy of Anyone
Simon hesitated, "Well... I'll have to look for it. After all, that was decades ago.
Technology wasn't as advanced back then - there were no electronic devices or surveillance cameras or anything like that.
Some things aren't that easy to track down."
Olivia nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help. Please try your best to find the evidence so we can quickly clear Mr. McCoy's name."
Then Olivia turned and instructed Alex, "Use the Medica Vitae Sect's account to publicly clarify these matters, and collect evidence on everyone who's spreading rumors.
As for other things, we'll wait until Mr. McCoy wakes up."
"Okay, I'll do it right now," Alex immediately agreed.
Half an hour later, Medica Vitae Sect posted a clarification statement online.
[Regarding today's news that has caused such a huge impact, Medica Vitae Sect would like to make a statement.
Given that multiple media outlets, based on false rumors and without permission, came to cause trouble, and during the pushing and shoving, caused Mr. McCoy to fall and lose consciousness, Medica Vitae Sect will handle this matter according to law.
Additionally, several reporters, without solid evidence, disregarded the facts and spread rumors, even stirring up massive online public opinion and taking up public resources - we at Medica Vitae Sect will absolutely not tolerate this.
Next, Medica Vitae Sect will take relevant legal measures, including but not limited to filing police reports and lawsuits, to protect Mr. McCoy's reputation.
Mr. McCoy has worked in the medical field for many years, creating countless miracles for the medical community, saving lives and helping patients. All the good deeds he has done can be traced and verified - they cannot be randomly smeared by some malicious people.
The internet is not a lawless place. We also hope that internet users will be rational and not discourage someone who has made so many contributions to society!
He has nothing to be ashamed of in his entire life! On the contrary, some people should be ashamed of themselves!]
After this statement came out, it sparked intense discussion online again.
[Medica Vitae Sect's statement is really firm. This time I'm on Medica Vitae Sect's side!]
[I'm also on Medica Vitae Sect's side. If Mr. McCoy was really that kind of person, Medica Vitae Sect would have been too guilty to speak up by now. Mr. McCoy must have been wrongly accused!]
[Those rumors are ridiculous. From the start, the other side never provided any evidence to prove Mr. McCoy did those things. Mindless internet users are just being led around by the nose.]
[I also believe in Mr. McCoy. I don't think someone with such a compassionate medical heart would do such terrible things!]
[What money grabbing, wanting fame - it's just ridiculous, okay? With Mr. McCoy's medical skills, plenty of people would offer their entire fortune to get his treatment. Why would he need to use such shameful methods to make money?]
[Exactly! Mr. McCoy is already a legendary figure in the medical world. Those saying he's seeking fame and glory - open your eyes and look at his actual abilities, okay?]
[You're blind, but is the government blind too? If he was really that kind of person, the government would never have invited him to participate in research and development.]
[Can that earlier "insider" please show us the evidence?]
[Right! If you have evidence, show it. If you don't have evidence, don't blame Medica Vitae Sect for suing you for slander!]
[Where are you? Come out quickly!]
......
Olivia was monitoring the online response, and it was pretty much what she expected. She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, not all internet users had lost their minds.
There were still many people who believed in Rodolfo.
At this moment, the household staff rushed over. "Ms. Smith, we've retrieved the surveillance footage from the front gate. When the chaos happened, I noticed that someone deliberately pushed Mr. McCoy down!"
Hearing this, Olivia's expression darkened. She immediately looked at the staff member and asked, "Are you sure?"
The staff member nodded, saying with certainty, "I'm sure. Look if you don't believe me."
Then she handed her phone to Olivia.
Olivia's eyes were fixed tightly on the surveillance playback screen.
The situation at the time was completely restored.
This included those troublemaking reporters.
Olivia saw Rodolfo surrounded by the crowd. Rodolfo was old, and facing so many people's aggressive questioning, he could only keep backing away.
Olivia had never seen Rodolfo in such a sorry state. She felt heartbroken and angry.
When the chaos began, that reporter who attacked him deliberately rushed over and pushed him. Olivia's expression became even more furious!
"How outrageous!"
Olivia was extremely angry and immediately instructed Simon, "Call the police right away! We must find this person!"
"Okay!" Simon was also very angry after seeing the surveillance footage and immediately went to call the police.
Half an hour later, the police came, learned the details of the incident, and took the surveillance video from Olivia.
The higher-ups had also noticed Rodolfo's incident.
Pressure was applied to the police station, and the police chief personally called Olivia to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely clear Mr. McCoy's name in this matter. We'll catch this person as soon as possible and give you an explanation!"
Under heavy pressure, the investigation progressed rapidly.
In less than two hours, the reporter who had attacked Rodolfo was found and arrested at the police station.
Meanwhile, on Andrew's side, he was also instructing David, "Suppress all the negative comments about Mr. McCoy online. I don't want to see this controversy continue to grow."
David hesitated for two seconds but still asked his question out loud, "Mr. Hamilton, what if... it's true?"
Andrew gave him a cool look and reminded him, "I still have the judgment to tell whether a person is good or bad.
Besides, are you treating the higher-ups like fools?
If a person really had such serious character problems and even had blood on his hands, would they give him so many honors?
Only some people online without judgment would be led astray."
David felt Andrew's words made a lot of sense - he had just been stupid for a moment.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was foolish. I'll take care of it right away!"
On the other side, after Daniel learned about this, he also mobilized the Wilson Group's resources to help suppress the online activity.
An hour later, the voices attacking Rodolfo had become very few.
Only a small group of haters were still stubbornly clinging to this matter.
[After all that talk, it's all just words defending his reputation. The junior's death still hasn't been clearly explained. Is he feeling guilty?]
[Yeah, Medica Vitae Sect's statement is so one-sided. They haven't explained clearly about Rodolfo stealing someone's love!]
[How exactly did the junior die? Why did they force her to quit the medical field?]
However, these ripples couldn't make much of a splash.
Later on, they became fewer and fewer.
Sophia had been monitoring things online. Seeing this controversy about to die down again, she naturally couldn't sit still.
She immediately called Lyle to ask, "Dr. Warner, regarding Rodolfo driving your junior to death, do you have any other evidence?"
Lyle's voice on the other end sounded somewhat melancholy, "I don't have much evidence. Her death was too sudden at the time."
At this point, as if remembering something, he added, "Oh right, she was sent to Evergreen Hospital for emergency treatment. They should be able to find her death certificate proving she committed suicide!"
Hearing this, Sophia's eyes lit up with excitement again.
She wanted so badly to bring down Olivia and Rodolfo that her mind was completely led by Lyle, and she didn't doubt his words at all.
After hanging up, she immediately posted an anonymous response online.
The account she logged into was the same "insider" from this morning.
[If you want evidence, there is some. You can go ask at Evergreen Hospital yourself.
Back then, his junior was treated there for emergency care. Her death certificate can prove that she died by suicide.]
Following Sophia's post, some nosy reporters actually went to Evergreen Hospital to look for "evidence."
But the hospital wouldn't easily disclose patient information to anyone, which naturally included information about the deceased.
Lyle was also watching the latest developments online at this moment, his eyes somewhat sinister.
Only he himself knew that he had no evidence at all.
When his junior committed suicide, she didn't even want to see him.
Even after she died, he never got her death certificate.
Evergreen Hospital certainly had it, but they definitely wouldn't easily hand over the certificate.
That was why Lyle used this method to egg on Sophia.
However, this time, internet users weren't so easy to fool anymore.
So Lyle thought of another approach.
He directly had his assistant contact the reporters who had gone to confront Rodolfo earlier, telling them to take a different route.
This approach was to find medical staff who had participated in treating the junior years ago.
That day, another message was posted online.
A reporter had interviewed a retired medical staff member from back then.
The person revealed, "There was indeed such a patient back then who died by suicide. She was a very young girl who slit her wrists in her bathroom at home and died from excessive blood loss. As far as I know, she was also a doctor by profession.
I also heard them say at the time that the reason for her suicide was because her work was ruined by someone, her future was destroyed, she hit walls everywhere, and couldn't bear the burden, so she didn't want to live anymore."
This interview video was posted online, and the internet was in an uproar again, with fence-sitters being swayed once more.
[The suicide is real. What else does Rodolfo have to say?]
[Are you stupid? What if it's a coincidence? In this interview video, the person didn't say that the girl who committed suicide was Rodolfo's junior.]
[How can there be so many coincidences in this world?]
[Exactly, why wasn't this released earlier or later, but right at this time? You're telling me there's no connection? That it's not the same person? Are you kidding?]
[Rodolfo still hasn't dared to come out and respond. Isn't he feeling guilty?]
[If he didn't do it, why doesn't he come out and clarify?]
[Rodolfo is still lying in the hospital unconscious. How can he clarify?]
The internet was arguing endlessly.
Just then, another group of paid trolls appeared, pretending to be very fair, saying: [Since this matter still can't be confirmed, let's keep investigating!
But before the truth comes out, we suggest canceling Rodolfo's qualification to enter the research institute!]
