Xiangcheng Hospital.
In front of the Intensive Care Unit.
Xu En’s assistant’s gaze shifted between Ji Mulan and Ji Shaojun for a while. Only then did he realize that Ji Mulan seemed unable to make decisions for Bailian, and his gaze stopped on Ji Shaojun.
Ji Shaojun stood in the middle of the corridor, travel-worn, his eyes haggard and red, “…Listen to Ah Lian.”
His voice was tired.
Unlike Xu En, Ji Shaojun knew that Bailian had at least once lived in the Bai family.
She was not the kind of person to joke around.
“This is crazy…” Xu En’s assistant found it hard to understand Ji Shaojun’s thoughts. A 60% success rate was considered medium to high in the country.
Especially for a surgery on Shen Qing.
Ji Shaojun disagreed, so the assistant could only report Ji Shaojun’s decision back to Xu En, “Yes… It’s said that a doctor has been invited, don’t know who it is…”
The assistant was still talking.
The elevator rose to this floor, stopped, and the huge elevator doors opened.
Revealing three people inside.
The one in the lead was wearing a polo shirt and floral shorts, with sunglasses perched on the bridge of his nose.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, his gaze locked on Bailian. His eyes lit up, he took off his glasses, spread his arms and walked up to Bailian, “Hello, Bai.”
Bailian was not used to hugging people, so she just extended her hand and politely shook hands with Lance.
“Okay,” Lance said in his still unfamiliar Chinese. He had long known that people in Huaguo were conservative, “You guys are really too conservative.”
“My aunt’s attending physician,” Bailian brought Lance to find the attending physician who was still waiting to the side, “Please briefly describe my aunt’s basic physical condition. He will be the lead surgeon later.”
The attending physician looked at Lance in his floral shorts, and for a moment he was also a bit dazed. He was skeptical.
The seniors he knew were all very serious.
This old man looked more like someone who would disco dance with the elderly.
“Prepare the sterile room,” Lance was not as friendly when talking to the attending physician. He just instructed, “I brought my own first and second assistants. If you want to observe, five people can enter. Also, a batch of equipment came with me and is being handed over downstairs. Replace the equipment within an hour…”
Towards the end, he switched back to English.
“I need to request permission from the dean…” the attending physician hesitated a little. He still wanted to ask Lance a couple of questions.
When he looked up, he happened to see the WMA logo on Lance’s polo shirt.
He was shocked, hurriedly took out his phone, and instructed crisply, “Prepare the sterile room, and get five free people from the break room…”
The attending physician spoke while looking at the old man wearing sunglasses beside him.
How did he feel…
The old man in front of him looked a bit familiar…
The entire corridor was quiet.
The efficiency was fast.
In less than five minutes, nurses came up to remove the equipment on Shen Qing’s body and push her into the elevator.
Soon, several doctors with director titles appeared at the door of the operating room one after another.
The situation was urgent.
Lance changed into sterile clothing and entered the operating room.
The red light came on.
The hospital and Lance moved too fast. Ji Shaojun hadn’t even reacted before the surgery began. He looked at Bailian, “Ah Lian, was that the doctor you mentioned just now?”
“A Western doctor,” Bailian leaned against the wall, her eyes black as ink. She said slowly, “His success rate is higher than 60%. There won’t be any problem. Uncle, rest for a while. When Auntie comes out later, you’ll still need to take care of her.”
Ji Shaojun didn’t want to rest originally, but when he heard that he would need to take care of Shen Qing when she came out, he lay down on the long bench outside the operating room.
Even if he couldn’t sleep, he closed his eyes.
** Ji Mulan and Xu En’s assistant also followed over. The two looked at each other, very surprised.
How did so many doctors suddenly appear?
Mainly, in the assistant’s eyes, the high-ranking patient rooms that the Ji family had reserved in advance were all favors from Xu En, so they shouldn’t have had these connections.
They didn’t know Lance, but they also knew that the old man wearing sunglasses and a polo shirt with floral shorts should be the one making the incision.
Ji Mulan wanted to ask Bailian a few questions.
But she didn’t dare talk to Bailian.
Shen Qing’s surgery would take more than five or six hours. Ji Mulan and the assistant naturally didn’t have the patience to wait here the whole time. Ten minutes after the surgery started, the two entered the elevator and went downstairs.
When the elevator doors closed, Xu En’s assistant finally looked at Ji Mulan. He paused, then said to Ji Mulan with a bit of courtesy, “Madam, do you know those people just now?”
“I don’t know them,” Ji Mulan was very familiar with Beicheng, but not Xiangcheng. “Do you?”
As Xu En’s assistant, he should know more than her.
The assistant shook his head.
Ji Mulan also felt that Xu En definitely didn’t know. After all, Xu En’s circles were all in Jiangjing.
The assistant drove past Wutong Road on the way back.
From a distance, he saw an airplane parked on the unfinished six-lane road. He subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and asked in an almost fantastical tone, “How can there be an airplane here?”
In a place like Xiangcheng, where even high-speed rail hadn’t been built yet, there was an airplane blatantly parked in the city center.
“I don’t know. Are they going to build an airport in advance?” Ji Mulan also looked over, very surprised.
The assistant immediately called Xu En.
Ji Mulan was startled. Even this kind of thing needed to be reported to Xu En.
Before she could finish her thought, she heard the assistant explain to Xu En over the phone, his expression solemn, “It seems to be… an Airbus ACJ350.”
“What?” On the other end of the phone, Xu En was also shocked. “Are you sure?”
They could recognize this plane entirely because of a rumor in Jianging. There was almost no information about the owner of the Airbus ACJ online, but almost everyone in their circles knew which family it belonged to.
“It’s right here on Wutong Road,” the assistant vaguely saw black-clad people guarding both ends. “Did you see it online?”
Xu En held the phone in one hand and clicked open the search page on the computer with the other. “No, nothing at all.”
The assistant leaned against the driver’s seat and muttered, “Then it’s correct. Who would dare post it online?”
“I’ll ask others if they know anything.” Xu En let out a breath.
The two hung up the phone. Only then did Ji Mulan look at the assistant, “Is this plane very important?”
“A private plane. Boss Xu heard a bit about this at a banquet,” the assistant secretly took a picture of the plane’s condition with his phone, only then reluctantly driving away. “Madam, this isn’t just about a plane, but about being able to use an unfinished public road in Xiangcheng as a runway and apply for Xiangcheng’s air route in advance… For other people, it would be extremely difficult.”
With Ji Mulan’s imagination, she never thought that such a large plane would actually be privately owned.
Of course, Xu En and his assistant didn’t know that this plane’s air route…
Wasn’t applied for in advance, but a report was submitted on the spot, and all the aviation procedures were completed in less than half an hour.
** 6 o’clock.
Operating room.
The door opened, and Lance, wearing a blue sterile gown, came out with his hands raised. Beside him, the head nurse very respectfully changed his gloves.
He solemnly looked at Bailian, “Bai, the surgery has a 100% success rate and is nearing the end, but there is one thing that is very difficult. She has RH negative blood, and we still need a large amount of blood…”
“Ding–“
The elevator doors opened again.
The tall figure standing in front had one hand in his pocket, his brows and eyes lowered, his face indiscernible. When he slightly raised his head, his demeanor was as cold as moonlight. “Don’t worry about the blood. There are many people downstairs.”
Lance looked at Jiang Fuli. Originally, he didn’t dare speak much, but after hearing Jiang Fuli’s meaning, he couldn’t help himself.
“What?”
“At least 50 people with RH negative blood,” Jiang Fuli stopped and raised an eyebrow. “Is that enough?”
Enough! Of course it’s enough! But how could there be so many people with panda blood?
Lance didn’t believe it at all. In his country, when doing emergency surgery, doctors needed to make phone calls one by one to special blood banks to find donors. It would be a great blessing to have even one panda blood donor willing to come.
How could this small place possibly have so many? Lance ran to the first floor in disbelief.
On the left side of the first floor, a temporary blood donation station was set up. The line of people coming to donate stretched from inside the door all the way to the street!
In the small city of Xiangcheng, a hospital with facilities still not up to par with those in big cities, in less than an afternoon, had already gathered several dozen panda blood donors.
Not only that, there was also a continuous stream of donors rushing over from surrounding cities.
“How is this possible?” Lance looked back at Jiang Fuli in disbelief. Having never experienced such a spectacular scene, he said in shock, directly in English, “How did you find so many people in such a short time?!”
As he spoke, another woman from the neighboring city hurried over, travel-worn, “I saw it while scrolling through short videos. Is there a Ms. Shen Qing who needs panda blood…”
“I also had a major hemorrhage before, and a bunch of kind-hearted people saved me. I hope this Ms. Shen will be safe and sound.”
“…”
Among them, there were related personnel found in Yongfu Community, relatives of classmates from Xiangcheng No. 1 High School…
And even more were strangers who had seen Lu Xiaohan’s video.
After hearing the hospital’s explanation, Lance stood there in silence for a long time. “Your country is really…”
Of course, Lance wouldn’t understand. This was the unity and kindness engraved in the bones of the people.
Not far away.
Everyone who had their blood drawn was given a gift bag.
A man who had just finished donating blood was live-streaming while opening the gift bag. “Everyone, I’ve finished donating blood. I’ll livestream my drive back for you all later. The hospital said there are already a lot of people, so others don’t need to come. They even gave me a bag of milk…”
Halfway through unpacking, he exclaimed in surprise, “…Hm? Ginseng? Tea cake?”
The bullet screen also quickly scrolled, and sharp-eyed viewers recognized the brand.
[Old spotted seal tea???]
[A few ten thousand yuan for a small piece of tea cake??]
[Blood ginseng???]
[Noob question, is this really blood donation and not worshipping the God of Wealth?]
[I’m going. Whoever tries to stop me today, I’ll fight them!]
[…]
** Eight thirty in the evening.
The surgical light finally went out.
After nearly six hours of surgery, even Lance felt very tired.
He took off his blue sterile gown and walked out of the operating room. Ji Shaojun, who had not fully fallen asleep, woke up at the first moment, his lips moving as he looked at Lance.
Lance took off his hat, “The surgery was very successful, and the patient will wake up in the next two days.”
“Thank you, thank you doctor…” Ji Shaojun looked at Shen Qing who was pushed out, very choked up.
“In a couple of days when your aunt’s condition stabilizes, take me to find your classmate to record a gratitude video,” with Shen Qing out of danger, Ji Shaojun relaxed a lot and urged Bailian to go back and sleep, “Alright, you go home first, you still have class tomorrow.”
He also looked at Jiang Fuli.
“Little Jiang, thank you for today.” Ji Shaojun had heard the doctor’s explanation that most of the medical equipment was provided by Jiang Fuli.
Jiang Fuli’s cuffs were slightly rolled up, and although he had been running around all afternoon, there was not the slightest bit of dishevelment on him, from his collar to his shoes, all spotless and tidy.
That distinctly contoured face, however, did not show nobility and sharpness at this moment, but instead had a scholarly gentleness under the corridor light, “You’re welcome.”
Bailian couldn’t help but glance at him.
?
Jiang Fuli withdrew his gaze and calmly looked at her, “Is there a problem?”
“You used one word too few,” Bailian slowly pulled the zipper up to her chin, unhurriedly, “It should be that you have a problem.”
Director Chen, who had just finished investigating the matter of Yongfu Community and President Lu and stepped out of the elevator: “…”
Oh my god, Miss Bai, can you consider the occasion and have mercy on ordinary people’s feelings when you talk about Mr. Jiang?!
What sins had he committed to have to hear this sentence?
Director Chen very stiffly, at a tenth of the speed, put down his foot, and before he could raise his head, he felt Jiang Fuli’s chilly gaze sweeping over.
Lance went back to the hotel to rest.
Jiang Fuli sent Bailian back to Qingshui Street. In the passenger seat, Bailian returned to her usual lazy appearance. She propped her chin with her hand, “The nurse said you prepared gifts for the friends who donated blood today?”
“Just picked randomly,” Mr. Jiang was very wary, and he inconspicuously changed the topic, “When did you get to know Dr. Lance?”
“He seems very impressive.” Bailian’s cold white fingertips tapped her chin.
In the entire Xiangcheng, and even Beicheng, no one dared to perform the surgery that Lance did very easily.
“Remove the word ‘seems’,” Mr. Jiang unhurriedly steered the wheel, the street lights outside the window covering his cold and beautiful brows and eyes through the car window, “The way I found him was by sending someone to the WMA to bring him back.”
His tone was flat, not feeling that what he said was shocking at all.
After Bailian returned to Qingshui Street.
Jiang Fuli stood at the entrance of the alley, watching her open the door and enter the house before taking out his phone and calling Director Chen, his faint voice making Director Chen’s spine go cold, “What did you eat?”
At the same time.
In the neighboring city of Danping, an old man with slightly graying hair who had just gotten off the plane, holding a phone, was in a mess in the wind, “Don’t want me anymore? I dropped everything at hand just to rush to Xiangcheng, and you say the matter is resolved? How often do I get a chance to show my abilities, and you’re not giving me the opportunity?”
“You can go ask Young Master Jiang yourself.” Ming Dongheng coolly replied to him.
“…” The old man was speechless, then turned around and got back on the plane, “Forget it, the answer is not that important.”
Wasn’t it just a detour back to Jiangjing, he would just go back!
** When Bailian returned, Ji Heng had not gone to bed yet. He was wearing glasses, embroidering under the lamp in the hall.
She looked at Ji Heng and told him the news of Shen Qing’s surgery.
Ji Shaojun hadn’t closed his eyes for two days, and now that Shen Qing’s surgery was successful, Ji Heng didn’t need to worry along with him and could take turns looking after Shen Qing with Ji Shaojun.
As soon as Bailian spoke, Ji Heng put down what he was doing and went to the hospital.
After Ji Heng left, Bailian returned to her room. She changed into a set of clothes, took her phone, and went out.
Ten o’clock.
At the dinner table, Xu En cursed Lu Youlin, that old fox, for not being able to get a word out of him.
Instead, he was forced to drink a lot of alcohol.
“President Lu,” outside the door of Wanhe Building, Xu En watched Lu Youlin get in the car, “There will be opportunities for cooperation.”
Lu Youlin’s entire face had gentle features, in contrast to the sinister python tattoo on his neck, “President Xu, I still have to make a trip to Heishui Street, so we can only drink together next time.”
Hearing Heishui Street, Xu En’s face slightly changed.
After Lu Youlin’s car drove away.
The smile on his face disappeared, and he was about to leave with a sullen face when he caught a glimpse of Bailian across the street.
“It’s so late, why are you here?” Xu En walked over. From the direction of Bailian’s gaze, he could see that she was looking at Lu Youlin. His face slightly changed, “You’re looking for President Lu?”
Bailian withdrew her gaze. She had changed into a set of all-black tight-fitting clothes, with the sleeves and pant legs all tucked in, and a black belt embroidered with gold patterns tightly fastening the clothes.
Two crossed wooden hairpins at the back of her head held her hair very securely.
Her entire person was like a blood rose melting into the night.
Because Xu En had been very attentive to Shen Qing’s matter, arranging a lot from beginning to end, she was quite friendly to Xu En.
“This is really reckless! Your uncle’s attitude is clearly telling you that he doesn’t want to implicate you. This President Lu is not simple. Don’t be impulsive in your actions,” Xu En saw Bailian’s casual appearance and knew she didn’t listen. He solemnly said again, “His name is Lu Youlin. I say this, but you probably haven’t heard of him. However, behind him are people from Heishui Street, and it’s said to be Qinglong Bar…”
“President Xu, Miss Bai probably hasn’t heard of it,” the assistant behind him interrupted Xu En. He looked at Bailian and explained in a different way, “The people he has swindled into jumping off buildings are at least in the double digits, but he has always been safe and sound, taking advantage of loopholes in the law. Do you still not understand?”
“So this is how he set up the trap for my uncle and the others?” Bailian nodded and chuckled.
“Don’t…” Xu En was really worried about her state at this point.
“Vroom vroom–“
The sound of motorcycles suddenly rang out. At the entrance of the street, more than a dozen motorcycles drove over one by one. This kind of sound startled Xu En and the others.
“Screech–“
The leading motorcycle stopped in front of Bailian.
He took off his helmet, supporting himself with one foot on the ground, revealing a head full of blond hair, and shouted to Bailian, “Sis, we’ve been following him!”
“Sis!”
“Sis!”
