Chapter 450: Chapter 266: Withdrawal, Head-on Confrontation

The article described how Wu Ting’s team and the hospitals where Chen Bofeng and his colleagues worked were simply driving themselves into a state of academic isolation.

Rejecting the invitation from a mainstream international team was a reenactment of a closed-door policy in academia—an inevitable tragedy.

These teams would pay the price for their shortsightedness and narrow-mindedness. The field of liver oncology in the Jin Country Central Region would never recover from this...

Fu Jinfen, Chen Bofeng, and the others had effectively ruined their academic careers in liver oncology. It was foreseeable that they would end up like stray dogs, living every day in a state of panic...

The entire article was filled with scathing sarcasm and mockery!

Unconcerned by these external disturbances, Wu Ting prepared to publish his phase-four paper before participating in the national cardiac surgery competition: "Radical Cure for HBV-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Phase Four: Postoperative Prophylaxis Against Viral Reactivation"!

While the academic world was in dispute, a clamor also began to rise among the general public and amateur science enthusiasts.

On the country’s largest medical forum.

People began to discuss this highly controversial event.

"I really don’t get it. How could any domestic team reject Professor Edwards’s team and their Neutrino Technology? It’s revolutionary."

"Secretary General Laura came with plenty of goodwill. We’re talking about the International Liver Cancer Association, the world’s only international organization dedicated to research on liver cancer and related fields. That alone shows you how prestigious it is. For a doctor as young as Wu Ting to do this... he’s really overestimating himself."

"That’s not it at all. The *International Journal of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Diseases* was very clear: Wu Ting’s team is just rehashing old ideas. How can that even be compared to Neutrino Technology?"

"There are countless teams in the world researching antiviral treatments and immunotherapy, but how many have actually gotten results? The facts prove that Neutrino Technology is the future. I really feel bad for those few hospitals."

"I don’t get why Jiuhua Hospital joined this kind of research project, either. If this gamble doesn’t pay off, the relevant departments in those hospitals can just shut their doors for good."

"To the posters above, you’re all just a bunch of Western bootlickers. I support Wu Ting’s team! I support our country’s scientists doing their own independent R&D, not relying on foreigners."

"Remember the Ruihui Group, the one behind this Neutrino team? They were the ones Wu Ting’s team took on directly with that *Lancet* article. And what happened? Their Jin Country District president and the chief scientist of their Jin Country Research Center were both taken down, and they had to pay a fortune in damages for that new drug!"

"That was then, this is now. The first phase of Ruihui’s Sorafenib failed, but they’ve already recalled it. Besides, a second-generation Sorafenib is already making a comeback."

"This so-called Wu Ting of yours, in my opinion, is just pushing some concept to scam people out of money. Isn’t that the traditional playbook for domestic companies? Use a single PowerPoint to swindle all sorts of funding. I’m just waiting to see how great this Fengmu Tiada can be. How many original, domestically developed drugs have ever actually worked out?"

On the forum, amidst all the doubt and posts bashing Wu Ting, there was also a wave of die-hard supporters.

The students from Fan City University Medical College organized and charged into the fray, showering Wu Ting with support and citing Professor Long and Li Ai as examples of successfully cured patients.

Seeing Fan City University Medical College mentioned, the trolls on the forum had a field day.

"What the hell? What kind of third-rate school is your Fan City University Medical College? You dare compare yourselves to the Southern Country’s University of Texas?"

"And this Fan City First Hospital, what even is that? It’s third-rate in our own country and a complete nobody internationally. And this Wu Ting is just the deputy director of liver oncology there."

"I’d be embarrassed to even mention them in the same breath as Professor Edwards. Is there even a comparison?"

"Right now, it’s just these few hospitals in the country putting up a pointless, last-ditch resistance. Just you wait."

"Go ask around. Now that Neutrino Technology is being rolled out in the first wave of hospitals in the country, how many patients do you think are willing to choose the local therapy?"

...

...

While the outside world was in an uproar with endless arguments, Wu Ting finally finished writing his phase-four paper.

Next, Wu Ting prepared to devote all his energy to the national cardiac surgery skills competition.

To Wu Ting, the field of liver cancer was just one aspect of his work; he really didn’t give Professor Edwards a second thought.

With the assistance of Huang Dian, Director Shao, and Director Shen, the surgical data and videos from Lou Musaang’s phase-two procedure were fully compiled.

The brand-new entry for the competition finals was officially complete.

Looking at the result, Shao Yuqiao and Shen Siyuan were thrilled. With the addition of this phase-two data, they eagerly anticipated Wu Ting making a stunning debut at the national competition.

A total of twelve people from the Eastern Region qualified for this national competition.

Jin Province had secured three of those spots.

Deputy Director Dong Bo from Haijin Port First Hospital.

Wu Ting from Fan City First Hospital and another deputy director, Qiao Yushan, from Haijin Port Second Hospital.

The day of the national competition finally arrived!

This time, Jin Province’s team leader was He Huan, a Deputy Director from the Jin Province Ministry of Health.

He Huan was the younger cousin of Mayor Fu’s wife, Director He, and also worked within the same administrative system.

He Huan had heard of Wu Ting, but Wu Ting was unaware of He Huan’s connections.

For this team trip to Qinghe City Fuwai Hospital, He Huan planned to pay special attention to Wu Ting, hoping the young man could secure a high ranking.
