I, Doctor in the US-Chapter 388 - 387: Who Has Ever Seen an Official Gifting a Large Gold Buddha to the Common People?

The subsequent events in San Francisco revealed a series of bizarre news stories.

First, news reports suggested that a key authoritative official in San Francisco was under investigation.

Soon after, it was pointed out that this official was Li Mengxian.

Then Li Mengxian stepped forward to refute the rumors.

He claimed it was just routine business.

But soon, the investigation seemed to become more serious.

Rumors claimed that Li Mengxian was suspected of helping many Chinese illegally forge evidence to obtain U.S. green cards and citizenship.

This was incredibly alarming.

Many media outlets even followed up with reports.

However, not long after, the authorities once again came out to refute the rumors.

Niu Sen publicly stated: Li Mengxian is a trustworthy and reliable aide, a vital member of the San Francisco city government!

And those rumors about illegally forged evidence and those who obtained their identities illegally.

Are all unfounded rumors!

Oh dear, looking at it this way, it seems we've wronged an innocent man!

Then Li Mengxian also came out to deliver a speech.

He spoke very sincerely, emphasizing that he is a...

Honest man!

Yes, according to himself, honest, reliable, and brave.

And also a representative of the Chinese community.

In any case, he emphasized numerous good qualities.

It seemed that the storm around him had passed.

Yet, in reality, during this process, there was another small piece of news.

Well, this news wasn't so small, but compared to what was going on with Li Mengxian,

it seemed a bit minor.

San Francisco police launched a surprise operation and arrested several people.

Among them was a gang leader suspected of hiring a hitman, trafficking contraband, and many other charges.

He was Cai Zhizhong.

When this guy was taken away by the police, he was still defiant.

Vowing he would return sooner or later!

But no matter what, he was taken away.

His subordinates also dispersed.

It is said that some claiming to be from the Hongmen Mountain clan planned to step in to help.

Well, not to save him, but to take over his subordinates.

In any case, Cai Zhizhong's gang was considered destroyed.

Actually, one should never underestimate his power.

But he never expected.

When trouble occurred, meaning when he was targeted by the FBI.

No one would reach out to help him.

And Cai Zhizhong originally thought his great patron would be Li Mengxian.

This important official was already overwhelmed, so he obviously couldn't help him.

In reality, Cai Zhizhong and Li Mengxian could be said to be two horns of the same dilemma, mutually exploiting each other.

Now that both of them had troubles, of course, neither could look after the other.

Thus, this was the result.

Cai Zhizhong, this idiot, was directly finished.

No matter how much he shouted, it was completely useless.

And Li Mengxian, after this incident, was also seriously weakened.

But luckily, he managed to save his own neck.

Obviously, at this point, Li Mengxian could no longer continue pretending.

He straightforwardly went to Irvine.

...

The mansion with an ocean view was very lively today.

The parking lot and the road outside were filled with luxury cars.

It was clear that many distinguished guests had come to Dr. Zhou's residence.

Li Mengxian was indeed surprised upon his arrival.

But he saw many well-known Hollywood stars.

Like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and excellent directors like James Wan and so on.

Li Mengxian truly hadn't realized before how influential this Zhou Mo Sen fellow was.

But now seeing it... he understood everything.

This time he lost... hmm, he didn't lose.

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Li Mengxian."

"Hello, hello."

Indeed, Li Mengxian was quite a figure,

many people greeted him.

Of course, he reciprocated with courtesy.

Until he saw Zhou Mo Sen.

"Oh! Dr. Zhou! Congratulations, congratulations."

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Li, what brings you here?"

"I came... to present Dr. Zhou with a congratulatory gift."

"Oh, a gift?"

Zhou Mo Sen seemed genuinely surprised for a moment.

In fact, Li Mengxian must have contacted Zhou Mo Sen beforehand.

In this situation...

Li Mengxian felt a bit panicked because he didn't know why Zhou Mo Sen was throwing such a party at his house.

But fortunately, Li Mengxian now knew how to handle matters of etiquette.

The gift, of course.

What exactly was the gift?

"Dr. Zhou, take a look."

"Huh? This is…"

"An image of Medicine King Bodhisattva given to me by a friend before!"

Good heavens, this guy actually gifted a Bodhisattva statue?

And this Medicine King clearly corresponded to Zhou Mo Sen's profession.

But the key wasn't there.

The key was that the statue was not very large, but it was made of pure gold!

That was truly impressive.

Although there were many celebrities present, few had seen something like this.

Zhou Mo Sen clearly understood what was going on, Li Mengxian had completely submitted.

This statue was a pledge of allegiance.

However, the interesting part lies in the explanation.

"Mr. Li is truly a representative of outstanding Chinese, all those rumors before were lies, slanders! And Mr. Li can remember our Chinese traditions, truly commendable."

Listen!

Zhou Mo Sen's words were flawless!

Indeed, those matters before were just rumors... hold on, why did Zhou Mo Sen need to say this?

But he obviously had to say it.

And this tradition... right, it's about this Medicine King Bodhisattva, in pure gold!

Does this thing... not count as accepting a bribe?

Remember, there's no corruption in the United States!

Moreover, it's crucial to understand the key issue.

Li Mengxian is an official, but Zhou Mo Sen is not!

If Zhou Mo Sen gave gifts to Li Mengxian, it would indeed violate the law.

But if Li Mengxian gave gifts to Zhou Mo Sen, that's not a problem!

This is easy to understand.

Who has seen officials giving gifts to civilians?

Anyway, there's no such law in the U.S.

Li Mengxian, being a lawyer, naturally understood the law very well.

So, it's perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, this gold Buddha was shining brightly, drawing applause from many.

The scene at this moment was Zhou Mo Sen and Li Mengxian, two outstanding representatives of the Chinese community.

A deep friendship indeed!

This naturally pleased Li Mengxian.

But then, why did Zhou Mo Sen throw this party?

Li Mengxian still asked, and Zhou Mo Sen answered.

"I plan to register and run for office."

Oh my!

Li Mengxian silently wiped off his sweat... fortunately, he gave the gift now, otherwise, if he had given it later,

it wouldn't have been possible!

Indeed, this party by Zhou Mo Sen was to announce to everyone.

That I, Zhou Mo Sen, am transitioning from doctor to politician.

Plan to enter politics, to benefit more American people.

Blah blah blah... anyway, it's all this kind of rhetoric.

But, which party did Zhou Mo Sen register with?

Obviously, the Democratic Party!

And where did he register?

Which district will he run in?

Li Mengxian was even a bit worried, wondering if Zhou Mo Sen would compete with him for Chinese votes?

Zhou Mo Sen was very direct, he registered in the San Diego district.

Moreover, it wasn't a Chinese community.

Is that strange?

Li Mengxian, on the other hand, was secretly alarmed... Zhou Mo Sen is quite formidable indeed!

...

After the party, everyone left.

But in Zhou Mo Sen's mansion, there was still one place with lights on.

His large bedroom with a sea view.

At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen was half-lying on the big bed.

And in front of him stood several peerless beauties.

Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Daddario, Megan Fox, and Ivan Mc...

They were all incredibly beautiful with stunning figures.

But at this moment, they had one thing in common.

They wore only thin gauze dresses, barely covering their modesty...
