Bai Fei felt secretly distressed, his voice growing lower and lower.
Behind him, Zuzi curled her lips into a smile and said, "No need for candy. The ti hasn’t arrived yet."
The ti hasn’t arrived yet?
But they’ve been waiting the entire afternoon, and it’s already dark outside.
Bai Fei couldn’t understand, "Little fairy, when exactly do we have to wait until? I’m not worried about Bao Gucheng, I’m worried they’ll catch you..."
If that bastard Vice President acted for real, he does have the authority to arrest Zuzi right now.
After all, Bao Gucheng was sent to prison for introducing illegal dical practice, and Zuzi herself is the ’illegal dical practitioner.’
Bai Fei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet Zuzi remained calm, smiling gently, "Why not sing a song for your ancestor, Xiao Bai?"
Bai Fei’s spirits lifted.
Since Zuzi once told him during military training that he sang well, he had been practicing diligently, specifically finding ancient-style songs to hone his skills, and hey, it finally ca in handy.
"Little fairy, let sing you the the song of ’Long Immortal Road,’ the one about Nuwa and Fu Xi!"
"Mm-hmm."
Zuzi sat by the operating table, resting her chin, enjoying Bai Fei’s lodious serenade...
Outside the operating room.
A complete ss surrounded the Vice President.
His subordinates thought he had gallstones, and jumping might alleviate the pain.
Who knew that his feet were nearly swollen from jumping, his stomach hurting more and more, until cold sweat soaked his clothes, and his legs went so weak he had to be supported while helplessly stomping on the marble floor.
Finally, the doctors from the ergency and hepatobiliary departnts arrived.
They surrounded him for diagnosis and dragged him to the imaging room next to the operating room for a full-body CT, after much fuss, they found the cause.
"Vice President, do you want family mbers to listen to the diagnostic analysis, or..."
"Just tell directly, those family mbers outside are useless!" The Vice President, after receiving a painkiller shot and feeling less pain in his stomach, said indifferently, "And don’t let that little girl next door get away, I want to lock her in the cell next to Bao Gucheng’s, let them taste the bitterness of a fated pair!"
The doctor shook his head, "Vice President, don’t worry about work matters for now, we advise you to take good care of your health..."
"You doctors just love scaring people, what’s the big deal, isn’t it just gallstones? I knew that during my dical checkup, if the stones are too big, just operate and remove them." He was still determined on capturing Zuzi, "The girl next door..."
The doctor, helpless, had to tell the truth, "Vice President, the cause of your abdominal pain is not gallstones, but rather, bile duct cancer."
"I told you to control that girl first!" The Vice President shouted harshly.
All around was silence.
Everyone’s sympathetic gazes focused on him, and only then did he react, "Wha-what did you say? What cancer? Who has cancer?"
Doctor: "Your bile ducts have been damaged by stones over the years, coupled with bad lifestyle and dietary habits, and so genetic issues, it has now developed into late-stage bile duct cancer..."
The Vice President finally stopped ntioning Zuzi, and instead, his voice quivered, "What does late-stage an? Perform the surgery on ! Quickly, operate and remove it! Aren’t you all highly skilled? Weren’t you bold enough to operate on my uncle’s brain nerves, how hard is it to cut out a part of the bile duct?"
The doctor nodded with difficulty, "The cure rate for bile duct cancer is very low, the prognosis is poor, survival rate... nearly zero, with your current condition, you probably won’t last one to two months. We suggest avoiding surgery to cause bodily harm, opt for conservative treatnt, and if you have any unfulfilled wishes, accomplish them soon..."
Won’t last one to two months?!
The Vice President’s mind exploded with a boom.
He suddenly recalled Zuzi’s smiling words, "Don’t forget your wish for twenty more years of life."
He was supposed to have no problem living twenty years longer!
Now, only one to two months remain.
Could it really be that twenty years of life were taken away?!
