407: Rumor has it that the anchor has left the oncology department!
"Rumor has it!! A netizen leaked insider information. The reason Su Yu didn't attend the most influential person globally award ceremony is because he was unwell!"
"What kind of rumor is that? Didn't the award presenter already announce it on stage?"
"Exactly, exactly. It's obvious Brother Su just found a random excuse. He must have known in advance that Skema wasn't going to accept the award, so there was no point in him going either, and he just skipped it."
"Hey! This time, it really isn't. If you don't believe me, look at the leaked information posted in the group! Here, I'll post the link to the news too."
People were quickly replying.
The idle masses, eager for gossip, immediately became interested upon hearing this and clicked into the group to catch up on the drama.
It turned out the person who leaked the information was an enthusiastic anonymous netizen.
Clicking the link revealed a series of secretly taken photos.
The title of the photos was conspicuously: [I Met a Superstar Streamer in the Hospital's Oncology Department! Guess Who He Is?]
The photos below showed a young man dressed very conservatively.
Judging purely by the back view and physique, the person in the photos did look eight or nine parts similar to Su Yu!
Whether it was his height, build, or the way he walked, anyone who knew Su Yu would immediately mistake him for the Streamer they see on camera.
"Holy crap, he really does look alike! Although this guy is wearing a mask, his eyes certainly look like my Brother Su!"
"Stop guessing wildly! Rumors are started by people like you spreading them. Brother Su was fine just a few days ago, how could he be hospitalized today? You shouldn't make up dirt like this, right?"
"Look quickly, at the very bottom of all the pictures there's also a video recording. It seems you can faintly hear the conversation between that person and the doctor!"
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't what you're doing a bit too much? Regardless of who it is, secretly filming someone in a public place isn't right. Even ordinary people would get angry, okay?"
This already constitutes a severe infringement of the other party's right to privacy! Not to mention that Su Yu is currently a highly popular public figure domestically; secretly filming him like this is simply lawless!
If Su Yu were serious about suing, it would absolutely be a guaranteed win!
There would be no room whatsoever for the defense lawyer to argue.
But after all, this is still the internet.
Everyone is separated by the network cable, thousands of miles apart. Most people just running their mouths is actually irrelevant.
Therefore, although the negative portrayals of Su Yu had decreased significantly, there were still some stubborn individuals who remained willfully ignorant.
"Everyone hurry up and listen to the audio. I'm sure there's a ninety percent chance that the person talking to the doctor is Su Yu!"
"If it really is Brother Su, why would he go to the Oncology Department? Visiting a sick friend? It couldn't possibly be Brother Su seeing a doctor for himself! Brother Su is so young, I refuse to believe he has a tumor!"
"Let me correct the statement made by the brother upstairs. Going to the Oncology Department doesn't necessarily mean a tumor has grown inside the body; it could also be... cancer?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
You can eat randomly, but you absolutely cannot speak carelessly!
Especially when saying something like this.
Isn't this cursing someone to die?
What kind of disease is cancer? It is globally recognized as the terminal illness with the highest mortality rate.
The person who said this clearly wants to continue fanning the flames and make this rumor even more outrageous.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so ridiculous."
"Trying to slander our Brother Su just based on a video of him entering a hospital? Where did this Little Anti-fan come from?"
"I heard clearly, the doctor in the video said that person is now suffering from mid-stage liver cancer and is even progressing toward the late stage."
"??!!!"
"Then it's even less likely to be Brother Su! Mid-to-late stage liver cancer means his life would probably be counting down."
"But, but the young man in the video said his profession is also Streamer. And his surname is Su."
Confusing and mysterious!
For a moment, everyone felt uncertain.
Judging from various details, the person in the video truly had too many similarities with the Streamer.
Yet, based on logical deduction, the conclusion was difficult to accept.
So, what exactly is going on?!
Just fifteen minutes later.
Across the entire internet, the news that Su Yu might have cancer had become known to everyone.
Many foreign fans even stayed up all night climbing over the wall and setting up ladders (using VPNs) to find out the latest news.
A young man who just recently won the most influential person globally award, and now you're telling me he has a terminal illness?!
No matter who heard this news, they found it unbelievable and preposterous.
The news even reached Skema, who was currently engrossed in his experiments.
"Oliver, what is the situation with the news coming from China? Can the information be confirmed as true?"
Skema looked at his phone, his brow slightly furrowed.
All along, he had felt that the world lacked a true rival for him.
If it hadn't been for this most influential person globally selection, perhaps he wouldn't have had the chance to get to know this young man from China.
But after this incident, Skema changed his mind.
Su Yu was someone worthy of his respect.
Regardless of the other party's age or nationality, what he valued more was their heart.
The variety of cross-disciplinary and cross-field technologies left him amazed.
Skema felt it was a great fortune in life to have someone in the world who shared the same ambitions as him.
Therefore, although he narrowly lost to Su Yu in this selection ceremony, he still didn't mind at all.
His assistant named Oliver was someone proficient in Chinese culture.
When various news items reached him, he could usually quickly determine the truthfulness of the matter.
Facing Skema's inquiry, his expression was slightly serious.
"Mr. Skema. Based on the various news I have gathered from China."
"This piece of news is very likely to be true!"
"It is highly probable that the genius scientist from China truly has mid-stage liver cancer."
Skema's pupils contracted.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke.
"Heaven envies the talented! Achieving such accomplishments at such a young age. It truly verifies that ancient saying from China."
"Do we currently have any way to delay the onset of the cancer?"
Oliver shook his head.
"I am very sorry, Mr. Skema. With the most advanced medical methods currently available, early-stage cancer might be intervened with to prolong survival time. However, the news we have is that the patient is already in mid-to-late stage liver cancer, and we are powerless to help."
Powerless, powerless.
If even Oliver said such a thing, what other solution could there be?
The Cryogenic Storage experiment hasn't even reached the stage of human trials yet. It seems, for now, Su Yu can only rely on himself!
