Chapter 569 - 568: Close Cooperation
If we don’t act, Mrs. Shen won’t survive for many days. Rather than let her suffer a painful death, we might as well try to save her as if she were a lost cause.
But before proceeding, Yang Kuo thought it over and decided to discuss it with Mr. Shen. After all, the surgery concerns his wife, so it’s best to seek his final opinion.
"You all wait for a moment, don’t touch anything, maintain the patient’s normal breathing and prevent bacterial infection." Despite the urgency, Yang Kuo professionally prepared everything before leaving.
After giving instructions, Yang Kuo quickly took off his surgical attire and walked out of the emergency room. At that moment, Mr. Shen, seeing this, was initially stunned, but then hurriedly followed and asked, "Dr. Yang, how is my wife...?"
"Oh, we haven’t begun the surgery yet; we’ve discovered an issue." Yang Kuo wasted no time and went straight to the point.
"What issue?"
Upon hearing Yang Kuo’s words, Shen Qi was somewhat puzzled. Such issues should’ve been identified before surgery. Now that it’s being mentioned, it must be a serious problem.
"We’ve found too many capillaries surrounding the tumor, like a time bomb. If we cut incorrectly, it could directly activate cancer cells, causing them to rapidly spread throughout the body."
Yang Kuo explained, "To safely remove the tumor, we must be able to use X-ray vision, which we can’t do. So now, I have to ask you to make a decision—do we proceed or not?"
"This..." Shen Qi thought for a while, still unsure.
Just then, Chen Tianlong approached seriously and said, "Doctor, when you mentioned X-ray vision, can one clearly see those meridians?"
"Oh? Yes, do you have any ideas?"
Yang Kuo considered the young man before him, since he mentioned meridians, implying he might have some expertise.
"Hmm, take me inside. Last time in South Sea City, I assisted in a similar surgery; let’s see if I can help." Chen Tianlong didn’t directly reveal his X-ray abilities but spoke of his experience.
Yang Kuo listened to Chen Tianlong, skeptical but with no other options, agreeing to try anything possible. Chen Tianlong glanced at Mr. Shen, who nodded in agreement.
Chen Tianlong followed Yang Kuo into the operating room, where several doctors anxiously awaited the lead surgeon’s return, surprised to see him accompanying an unfamiliar young man.
Meanwhile, Yang Xinru felt her heart race, unexpectedly encountering him in the operating room—such a delightful feeling.
Without delay, Chen Tianlong quickly donned the surgical attire handed to him by Yang Kuo, approached, activated the Heart Method, closed his eyes, and began to focus on the targeted tumor.
At this moment, a clear image of the meridian map appeared before Chen Tianlong’s eyes.
"Alright, doctors, whoever is performing the surgery follows my instructions. I can see clearly! Also, tell me if there are differences between cancerous tumors and normal blood vessels and meridians."
Although Chen Tianlong was knowledgeable in traditional medicine, he didn’t fully understand the nuances of meridian science and vascular studies.
"Let me do it, Uncle."
Yang Xinru, for some reason, very much wanted to collaborate with Chen Tianlong, perhaps due to her favorable opinion of him.
Yang Xinru said, "Hello, after the cancer transformation, the color appears somewhat purple-black. If you truly see them, identify the darker colors and indicate their locations."
"Hmm, alright."
Chen Tianlong didn’t say much, promptly operating the Heart Method Mantra, while Yang Xinru froze briefly, noting his expertise. Being an expert herself, she recognized Chen Tianlong’s power but focused intensely on the surgery, waiting for his directions.
"I’ve seen it clearly; you can start cutting. To the left of your current incision by about half a centimeter, there are three to four purple-black blood vessels, likely the cancerous cell vessels you’re referring to. Therefore, your incision needs to move at least one centimeter to the right."
Chen Tianlong gazed at the surgical knife, estimating its blade width, and directed.
"Alright."
For the first time, Yang Xinru listened so obediently, usually taking charge herself. This time, she was genuinely impressed.
There was indeed someone who could perceive so clearly; she was confident in her strong vision, yet the person before her discerned those tiny mutant vessels and muscle situations—truly heaven-defying!
Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s professional advice, Yang Xinru inexplicably trusted him and made the incision.
Everyone held their breath, yet after making the incision, the patient’s vitals displayed normally, indicating a correct incision.
"In accordance with your incision direction, continue moving one centimeter to the right, then move up one centimeter. Bingo! Right here, proceed with the incision."
"Hmm."
Having gained experience from the first incision, Yang Xinru promptly followed Chen Tianlong’s command in one swift move.
Her surgical skill was precise and swift; hence, Yang Kuo invited her for the task. Besides her talent, her mastery of the Heart Method also played a role. Her Heart Method was a Calm Heart Technique, tranquil as deep waters, forceful as thunder surge.
This is the typical Thunder Heart Method.
Yang Xinru moved smoothly, deftly executed every maneuver, seamless in her approach. After each incision, the monitors showed normal stats, maintaining tight collaboration for half an hour.
"Boom!"
Seeing a small round, black lump tossed into the tray, Yang Xinru and the others exhaled deeply, indicating a successfully completed surgery, leaving the remaining suturing to Yang Kuo and other colleagues.
The two stepped out of the operating room, stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, and smiled at each other.
In that moment, nothing needed to be said, their seamless collaboration was the key to saving Mrs. Shen.
"Thank you!"
Yang Xinru suddenly spoke to Chen Tianlong, yet her demeanor remained unchanged, cold as always.
"Ah? Haha, why thank me? I’m just helping my people, doing what I can." Chen Tianlong replied with a slight smile.
Yang Xinru watched Chen Tianlong’s subtle smile, suddenly feeling mesmerized. Why did every gesture from this guy stir her such intrigue? Was she love-struck today?
At that point, Chen Tianlong seized the chance and asked, "Doctor, do you typically not smile? Here’s something to tell you—if you don’t smile, you’ll end up with a bitter gourd face."
"Oh, you have a bitter gourd face."
Annoyed by Chen Tianlong’s comment, Yang Xinru quickly retorted, "Smiling gives you a bitter gourd face, with each wrinkle showing."
"Hehe, okay then."
Chen Tianlong found her amusing, unaware that anyone else daring to tease Yang Xinru would find themselves hospitalized in the next moment.
"Doctor, how’s my wife?" Shen Qi, seeing Chen Tianlong and Yang Xinru out, hurriedly asked.
"The patient has escaped danger; the operation was successful. Now, we’re just waiting for them to suture." Yang Xinru, recalling Chen Tianlong’s words earlier, strained to smile slightly as she replied.
