However, he indeed underestimated Liu Rui’s strength. The identity he held was actually unknown to many people. His underlings only knew that their leader was a very clever young man, but they had never seen Liu Rui’s real appearance. The na Liu Rui used was one he later gave himself.
Currently, the people who know his identity, besides a few trusted ones, are only Xiao Yifei, Tang Rong, and Tao Ji.
So Deng Fuguo genuinely thought Liu Rui was just a simple-minded young man.
After parting with Deng Fuguo, he quickly headed to the hospital. As soon as he stepped in, his grandfather announced the good news: "Xiao Yifei agreed to use the Biwei Silver Needle, so there shouldn’t be any problem forthcoming."
A barely noticeable smile appeared on Liu Rui’s face. Perhaps he could soon see his father, a day he had awaited for many years.
Indeed, as soon as Deng Fuguo ca back to the hospital, Xiao Yifei told him: "I am preparing to perform the surgery in two hours. You can go in now and spend so ti talking to your father."
"What is the success rate of this surgery?" Deng Fuguo asked, as this was what concerned him the most.
"Conservatively speaking, eighty percent. Actually, there shouldn’t be any problems, but since it’s my first ti using this treatnt thod, I can’t guarantee one hundred percent success," Xiao Yifei said, though his face displayed a confident expression.
Seeing Xiao Yifei’s expression, Deng Fuguo felt assured that this ti it would definitely be fine. He thought to himself that as long as his father could recover, any cost would be worthwhile.
"Why do you suddenly have so much confidence?" Deng Fuguo abruptly asked.
"Shouldn’t you be happy? It was one of my teachers who gave so pointers, so you should ultimately thank him," Xiao Yifei replied.
Hearing this, Deng Fuguo understood. It turned out Liu Rui’s grandfather wasn’t just an ordinary person, and it seed the young man hadn’t deceived him.
So Deng Fuguo gave a smile and left.
Poor Xiao Yifei was still in the dark, unaware that he was actually the most crucial piece in Liu Rui’s grand sche.
At eleven o’clock in the evening, the surgery began on ti. Not many people were needed. Xiao Yifei was the chief surgeon, assisted by two experienced practitioners of Chinese dicine who helped him with tools and such. After all, this wasn’t an ordinary surgery. Only Xiao Yifei and his family knew how to perform this treatnt thod.
When assisting his grandfather, Xiao Yifei had seen him use this acupuncture technique many tis and was quite familiar with it. But using it alone for the first ti, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. So, he tried hard to recall the scenes of his grandfather performing surgeries. Grandfather always seed so calm and composed, carrying out surgeries as if it were as simple as making breakfast. How co he could never reach such a state?
Of course, Xiao Yifei’s performance on the operating table was enviable to many doctors. He displayed the sa calm composure, never flustered, full of confidence. Though Xiao Yifei himself didn’t realize he appeared this way in others’ eyes.
In fact, this calm deanor was sothing Xiao Yifei forced upon himself. The mindset of a doctor is essential, and the chief surgeon’s performance is even more crucial. The operating table is akin to a battlefield, with the chief surgeon being the commander. A good commander is key to stirring people’s hearts and controlling the entire situation. Xiao Yifei admitted he did quite well in this aspect.
Although there were only three people in the operating room this ti, it was the hardest to control for Xiao Yifei. First, shortly after starting to use the Biwei Silver Needle, he distinctly felt that his physical strength seed insufficient. He thought the side effects would occur after the surgery, but they ca unexpectedly early.
Anticipating a tough surgery ahead, he had specifically taken a glucose drip half an hour before the surgery, fearing the occurrence of such a situation. Apparently, glucose wasn’t effective.
He took a deep breath and resud using the Biwei Silver Needle. Sure enough, it consud a lot of physical strength. Each needle insertion required precise control of force and depth, with a margin for error within a milliter. This was a great test of both physical strength and eye power. Suddenly, Xiao Yifei understood his grandfather’s difficulty. Thinking of his grandfather, Xiao Yifei felt less tired.
No matter what, he held onto that breath. During this surgery, no accidents could happen, or else all efforts would be wasted, and the patient’s life might be lost because of him once again. He didn’t wish to create such a tragedy again.
Close to the end of the surgery, the two assistants noticed sothing wrong with Xiao Yifei; he seed unstable. One of the assistants supported him, and Xiao Yifei realized the surgery was just one step away from completion. Failure couldn’t be afforded.
The surgery was finally completed. Xiao Yifei ca off the operating table and collapsed directly onto the floor. The nearby nurse hurriedly supported him to his office, lay him on the sofa, and brought hot water.
When supporting Xiao Yifei earlier, she noticed that his entire clothing was almost soaked through. Many people truly don’t understand the hardships doctors endure.
The nurse brought water over, intending for Xiao Yifei to drink so. As she approached, she realized he had already fallen asleep. So, thoughtfully, she got a piece of clothing to cover him. Suddenly sensing sothing was off, she realized that Xiao Yifei had actually lost consciousness and imdiately sought out other doctors.
After a series of examinations, no clear results were found. The doctor eventually concluded it was due to overexertion and excessive physical energy consumption.
Hu Jingtang, upon hearing the news from sowhere, ca running down from his sickbed to see Xiao Yifei. Others, unaware of the Biwei Silver Needle, thought Xiao Yifei had rely fainted due to physical exhaustion.
Dragging his ailing body, Hu Jingtang carefully examined Xiao Yifei. His Yuan Qi had been severely depleted, and his pulse was erratic. It was evident that this treatnt had greatly hard Xiao Yifei’s body. Hu Jingtang prescribed a dicinal formula for Xiao Yifei. If not properly nursed back to health, his body might easily bear lasting damage, possibly remaining frail.
Even a minor cold could be a major challenge for Xiao Yifei. Hu Jingtang explained Xiao Yifei’s condition to the surrounding doctors, and they decided to designate a nurse for special care over the next few days. Xiao Yifei could be considered injured in the line of duty.
Of course, there was always good news in a hospital. Here, good and bad coexist; old lives depart, and new ones are born, a place of life’s ebb and flow.
No doubt, Deng Fuguo’s father’s illness was cured. News of this spread quickly, causing a stir throughout the hospital. High-status visitors ca daily to see his father.
Deng Fuguo, with so conscience, personally delivered top-tier supplents upon learning of Xiao Yifei’s illness due to his father. He promised that should Xiao Yifei encounter difficulties in the future, he could turn to him for help.
