Chapter 960: Toxin Relapse
Pushing Jin Guard into the operating room that had been prepared long ago, Liu Mang, Han Ze, and others also changed into green surgical gowns and began the operation.
The incision site for the surgery was slightly above the sacrum of the pelvis.
This is an extremely dangerous location and a no-go zone that many surgeons dare not touch.
The reason is simple: this area is near vital organs and major blood vessels like the kidneys, sciatic nerve, and iliac arteries and veins.
The risk of operating here is self-evident.
Coincidentally, there was already a four-year-old bullet here that no one dared to remove due to the high risk. But even more coincidentally, the bullet was positioned just right without damaging any organs, nerves, or major blood vessels. Thus, over the years, it hasn’t caused Jin Guard much trouble, although it sometimes triggers severe pain requiring sedatives for relief.
However, just after Lin Tian removed the bullet, an old problem that had been dormant for years finally flared up, leading to an abscess. If not drained, the consequences could be severe.
In fact, this had little to do with Lin Tian. When the bullet was removed, nothing like this occurred; the abscess only appeared recently.
Therefore, this is an urgent matter.
The surgeons performing the operation were all highly skilled, so they dared to proceed.
The drainage was very successful, but soon unexpected complications arose.
The toxins suppressed for the past three days by the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir suddenly exploded at this moment, spreading at a frightening rate.
Fortunately, this is a chronic toxin. If it were faster, it could attack the heart in about ten minutes, and no one could save him then.
This immediately caused no small amount of panic. At this time, arterial hemorrhage would be a reasonable occurrence, but how could it trigger toxins?
The most panicked among them was Liu Mang.
This situation was caused by the gas emitted by that piece of glass, and it shouldn’t have occurred now! Moreover, the location isn’t right!
What on earth is going on?
"Liu Mang, what are you standing there for? Quickly suture the wound! We’ll talk about the toxins later!" urged Han Ze.
"Oh, oh, okay." Liu Mang agreed nervously, sweating profusely, and then began to suture the wound.
Surgery is something that requires stability and a good mindset, something an excellent surgeon must possess.
But Liu Mang, for whatever reason, felt his heartbeat accelerating and his right eyelid twitching nonstop, making him even more anxious. He almost pierced a vein with the suture needle.
Eventually, seeing Liu Mang in poor condition, Han Ze quickly took over and successfully sutured the wound, applying the Celestial Dome Hemostatic Ointment, quickly stopping the bleeding.
After finishing, Han Ze said to a nurse assisting on the side, "Quick, go get Lin Tian here! Tell him the toxin has resurfaced!"
After a series of events, everyone understood Lin Tian’s capability, and Han Ze naturally thought of him first at this moment.
The little nurse dared not delay and quickly ran out.
Although the presidential suite was large, it was just a single floor. The little nurse quickly reached the conference room, shouting regardless of whether Lin Tian was inside or not, "Something’s wrong, something’s wrong! The toxins in Jin Guard have resurfaced! And they’re spreading very quickly, possibly spreading wide in about an hour."
Zhao Xuefeng and others had returned to the conference room earlier, and upon hearing this news, they were in an uproar.
Nan Qiu also widened her eyes at Lin Tian, incredulously asking, "Wasn’t that Clear Wind Whatever Elixir supposed to suppress the toxins? How did it resurface so quickly? Could it be that the drug’s effect only temporarily suppresses the toxins?"
"No, but I don’t quite understand what’s going on. I’d have to go personally to check to know." Lin Tian replied, though he understood clearly. The toxin should have erupted by now; its pace was a bit slow.
Nan Qiu stood up from the chair, hastily saying, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s hurry over."
Lin Tian wasn’t in a rush. He looked at the little nurse at the doorway and asked, "Has the surgery finished?"
"It’s done, very successfully, but we don’t know why it triggered the toxins." The little nurse replied very quickly.
"Let’s go, let’s have a look." Lin Tian also stood up, leading the way for the little nurse. Everyone, including Zhao Xuefeng, Big Long Face Six, and Little Eyes Seven, quickened their pace and rushed over.
"Do you know why the toxins resurfaced?" Nan Qiu asked while rushing.
Lin Tian had been waiting for this question for a while, planning to bring it up himself if she hadn’t asked soon.
Pretending to contemplate, after a few seconds, Lin Tian solemnly replied, "Toxins won’t erupt for no reason. It must have been caused by something Jin Guard came into contact with, possibly the new operating room or someone."
As they spoke, they arrived at the operating room’s entrance. Lin Tian added, "Now that the surgery is completed, I suggest transferring the patient back to the original ward first. Then I’ll proceed with follow-up actions. It’s best to seal off the operating room and inspect it once to see what induced the toxin eruption. Otherwise, similar situations might occur in the future."
"Alright, got it!"
After responding, Nan Qiu said to Six and Seven, "Do as Mr. Lin says, have Jin Guard return to the original ward first, then seal off the operating room and inspect it once."
Six and Seven straightened up simultaneously, saluted and replied loudly in the local dialect, "Yes, sir!"
Upon learning that they couldn’t leave the operating room and had to undergo inspection, Liu Mang panicked. He took off his gloves, then reached into the inner pocket of his surgical coat, and sure enough, felt the fingernail-sized ’glass shard,’ his face turning as sour as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.
Lin Tian!!!
Liu Mang raged silently in his heart. At this moment, his eyes reddened, taking on a murderous appearance.
The last shred of rationality told him to stay calm! Hide the ’glass shard’ first!
Just then, Six suddenly patted Liu Mang on the shoulder and asked, "Dr. Liu, what’s wrong?"
Cold sweat broke out on Liu Chan’s face as he hurriedly replied, "Nothing, it’s just that the surgery was too risky, and I haven’t recovered yet."
"Haha, no worries, rest for a bit after the inspection, and you’ll be fine." Six said with a smile.
Liu Chan nodded repeatedly, not daring to engage in further communication with Six, quickly following Han Ze out.
