“Because they are not in the country.”
“Your SIM card doesn’t seem to have an international call service.”
Chen Yu’s two sentences directly short-circuited [Yes, I’m that Great]’s brain.
It wasn’t that his parents’ phones were out of service but that they couldn’t receive domestic calls overseas.
Counting the time, his parents were already in their fifties.
Why would the two elders go abroad for no reason?
If he remembered correctly, his parents only had a junior high school education.
After graduation, they were assigned to work in a pastry factory. He had never heard that they knew a foreign language.
Could it be that they went abroad with a tour group to relax?
It was possible.
[Yes, I’m that Greatps parents were in their fifties and had reached retirement age.
“I’ll wait for another month.”
“I’ve been a beggar for so many years anyway. It’s not like I’m missing a month.”
After making sure that he would be able to see his parents soon, he lay on the grass with a tray in his hand and giggled while breathing in the air of “freedom.”
“Dr. Chen, which country did my parents travel to?”
Without any psychological burden, [Yes, I’m that Greatps face was filled with a happy smile he had never seen before.
He would first ask about where his parents were traveling and then ask them about their situation over the years.
He didn’t want to go back and not know anything.
He couldn’t know how to be filial, even if he wanted to.
“They went to the USA, but not for a vacation. They went there for treatment.”
“Hm?”
“Didn’t you say that my dad’s cancer was cured by a clinic?” [Yes, I’m that Great] asked in shock.
“Why did they go to the USA for treatment?”
“I did say that,” Chen Yu said. “However, 1 never said that a local clinic cured him.”
“A clinic overseas?”
[Yes, I’m that Greatps expression was conflicted as he scratched his hair.
Has the world changed so much during these years?
Previously, the viewers thought that an old, traditional doctor cured his father.
This was very plausible.
After all, clinics did not even have proper examination equipment.
Only traditional medicine can treat cancer without proper equipment.
“Why not?”
“However, this clinic isn’t that clinic,” Chen Yu shrugged.
“I call it a clinic because it’s a habitual name.”
“Its actual name is Mayo Clinic Health System.”
“Your father’s cancer was cured here.”
[Yes, I’m that Great] was dumbfounded.
He felt that something was wrong.
“Is this a hospital? Why is the name so strange?”
A clinic was a clinic; a hospital was a hospital; what was a clinic health system?
“Oh my god! Brother, your parents are not ordinary people.”
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. So it’s this clinic. They are indeed great at treating cancer.”
“Brother, I’ll drive you to my house tomorrow to stay for a month. When the time comes, I’ll ask Uncle and Auntie to spare me some accommodation fees and food expenses.”
“Brother, fate is sure pulling your legs.”
“He’s not a fugitive. He’s probably a lost young master.”
“This clinic is not just a clinic. If your family doesn’t have a house in a first-tier city and you don’t have rich relatives, you have a 50% chance of reaching the top in the future.”
A large number of comments flooded the chat, and many people in the livestream were laughing so hard that they almost collapsed.
Even the many policemen couldn’t help but laugh.
The comments from the chat didn’t help [Yes, I’m that Great] understand where his parents had gone. Instead, it made him even more confused.
“Don’t tease me, chat. I’ve been running for twelve years, and I’m almost out of touch with society.”
“It’s only in the past few months that I’ve regained a mobile phone and learned about the changes in society.”
He knew everyone was joking with him and didn’t take it seriously.
He honestly told the chat that he was just confused.
“Alright,” Chen Yu cleared his throat and said, “Let me explain to you, patient.”
“Mayo Clinic is a large, comprehensive treatment institution located in the USA.”
“It’s ranked first in the world’s major hospitals all year round.”
“Do you understand?”
“Ahull.”
[Yes, I’m that Great] nodded subconsciously and asked, “Since it’s the number one hospital in the world, it must be very expensive, right?”
“It’s a little expensive.”
Chen Yu answered with a bitter smile.
“Not a little, but a lot.”
“Although Mayo Clinic is a non-profit hospital, they charge USD. The residents of the USA have medical insurance that can reimburse them, but it’s not cheap for foreigners.”
“After all, they are the ones who set the hospital’s standards and guidelines.”
“My relative got cancer and brought 300,000 yuan to Mayo Clinic for treatment. Just the examination fee alone has spent all the money she brought.”
“There’s nothing wrong with that. This is the world’s number-one hospital. It’s expensive, but the technology and scientific research are the best there are.”
“After saying so much, I only have one sentence. They treat their customers as gods and solve all their needs.”
“Well, money speaks.”
“Maybe Mayo Clinic has an acupuncture doctor.”
“I’m sure they made up a fake ranking and deliberately used marketing to boost their fame. The only doctors I trust are the traditional doctors.”
“I’ll be frank. As long as you have money, you can buy all the medical treatments that humans can currently do.”
A large number of viewers in the USA and those in the medical industry introduced Mayo Clinic’s origins and various characteristics in detail.
“What?” [Yes, I’m that Great] was dumbfounded and muttered, “This is a clinic?”
“It’s indeed developed from a private clinic,” Chen Yu said with a smile.
“Therefore, many people are used to calling it by its old name.”
“Dr. Chen,” [Yes, I’m that Great] continued to ask, “I’ve seen many viewers say that this clinic, no, this hospital’s treatment is extremely expensive.”
“My parents are ordinary people. How can they have the money to go there for treatment?”
“My house is a welfare house issued by the government. It’s not worth much.”
Hearing this question, the chat immediately perked up.
They could not be bothered to argue about whether Western medicine was more effective or not. Instead, they began to guess how [Yes, I’m that Greatps parents had the money to go to Mayo Clinic.
One villa for one bed in Mayo Clinic was the common saying.
If anyone wanted to cure cancer at Mayo Clinic, they would have to sell at least one house in a first-tier city.
“This is all because of you.”
“You mistakenly believed that you were a murderer,” Chen Yu said earnestly. “You started your twelve-year escape journey and made yourself look neither human nor ghost.”
“Your parents’ life trajectory for the past twelve years has also changed because of you.”
“From ordinary workers to a billionaire.”
“Their current net worth is about two billion yuan.”
“There might be more in the future.”
“Cough, cough, cough…”
[Yes, I’m that Great] coughed non-stop and almost choked to death on his saliva.
His parents, whom he hadn’t seen for twelve years, were now billionaires.
Their assets were worth two billion and would be even richer in the future.
Chen Yu couldn’t be joking with him, right?
What kind of business did his parents do to earn so much money in just ten years?
