Chapter 327: What He Could Do For Her
Kang Hui and the others were in charge of sending the drugs back to the police station with the criminals. Jiaren Wu was with Huang Junsheng, inside a car headed to the hospital to get Zhang Yang and the rest treated.
Deep Sea Hospital was the best private hospital in Binjiang City. Zhang Yang had been shot in the chest, and they had to make every second count to save him. Therefore, they directly sent him to Deep Sea Hospital.
The drug dealer had been shot in the abdomen. Once they reached Deep Sea Hospital, the doctors brought him into the operating theater.
Zhang Yang’s situation was more complicated. The bullet inside him was very close to his heart. The doctor performing the surgery on him had to be someone familiar with the structure of the heart and with superb medical skills. Two doctors from the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery had just gotten off from work; they would need at least half an hour to rush back to the hospital. Elder Xu had gone overseas to attend a seminar, and Yuan Jun was still in surgery. At this moment, no one could perform the surgery for Zhang Yang.
A doctor gave Zhang Yang emergency treatment, but the bullet in his heart could not be removed.
Huang Junsheng anxiously grabbed the head nurse’s hand and shouted at her with a red face, “This is such a big hospital! Is there no one who can operate on him?”
The head nurse had no choice. She suggested to him, “Why don’t you transfer him to City One Hospital?”
“Don’t people say that Deep Sea Hospital is best at cardiac surgery? Isn’t it too late to transfer him to City One Hospital now?”
Huang Junsheng was on the verge of breaking down.
The head nurse was also anxious. She thought of something and suddenly said, “There… There’s a doctor. Maybe… maybe!”
“Who?”
The head nurse did not say the name. She turned around and ran to look for the doctor.
In an operating theater, Yuan Jun was performing surgery.
Wei Shuyi stood beside Yuan Jun and watched him perform the surgery. He seriously stared at the patient’s beating heart. As cardiothoracic surgeons, they would feel only a sense of familiarity on seeing such a bloody scene.
“This heart is so beautiful,” Yuan Jun sincerely praised.
Wei Shuyi nodded and praised it as well. “Very energetic.”
At this moment, someone suddenly ran into the room.
Yuan Jun was focused on carrying out the surgery, and he did not turn around. He did not panic. Wei Shuyi was the same. He did not give the nurse who ran in an extra glance.
The head nurse grabbed Wei Shuyi’s hand and said, “Doctor Wei… Mr. Wei, a policeman was shot in the heart. Doctor Yuan’s surgery is not over yet. The other doctors have already gotten off work. Look…” She was only halfway through her sentence.
The head nurse recalled what had happened to Wei Shuyi. She couldn’t ask him to agree.
Wei Shuyi’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the word “police.”
He hurriedly walked out of the operating theater and asked the head nurse as he walked, “What’s the patient’s condition?”
“The patient was shot in the chest with a 9mm pistol shot. The bullet is in the heart muscle in front of the patient’s left ventricle. It’s only one millimeter away from the cavity. Now, every time the patient’s heart pumps blood, he’s in more and more danger…”
One millimeter…
Wei Shuyi’s heart tightened. He asked her in a low voice, “Is the patient a police officer?”
“Yes.”
He panicked.
However, on the surface, Wei Shuyi looked rather calm. He asked the head nurse, “Is the patient male or female?”
Even though she felt that this question was a little strange, the head nurse quickly answered, “A man.” She seemed to see Wei Shuyi heave a sigh of relief.
***
Jiaren Wu raised her head and saw Wei Shuyi. Before she could react, she saw the head nurse standing beside him. A look of understanding appeared in her eyes. “You’re the person the nurse was talking about?”
Instead of answering, Wei Shuyi asked, “Your colleague was injured?”
Jiaren Wu nodded and walked with Wei Shuyi. As they walked, she said, “It’s Miao Miao’s good friend. We were out on a mission tonight and didn’t expect the drug dealer to bring a gun. Brother Yang got injured.”
Wei Shuyi instantly realized which policeman it was.
It was the person with the poor mouth.
“What is his blood type?” he asked.
Jiaren Wu was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Wei Shuyi was planning to perform this surgery. Feeling a little excited, she said, “Type B.”
Wei Shuyi turned around and said to the head nurse, “Get me Liu Jun and Doctor Liu Chong. Tell them I need their help to perform the surgery. Prepare enough serum and two experienced anesthetists and two nurses…” He spoke many things in one go.
The head nurse was also stunned. Then, she nodded in surprise and ran off to prepare.
Finally, the man and the woman were alone.
Jiaren Wu grabbed Wei Shuyi’s hand and worriedly looked at him. She asked, “I thought you can’t hold a scalpel?” She hoped that Wei Shuyi would perform the surgery, but she was also worried that he wouldn’t be able to overcome his psychological problems.
If he failed, Zhang Yang would lose his life.
Wei Shuyi didn’t answer this question. He suddenly asked in a low voice, “I’ve been thinking about what I can do for you.”
Jiaren Wu was confused.
When she saw Wei Shuyi, he smiled brightly. His face was magnified in front of her eyes. She heard Wei Shuyi say, “I’ll do my best to treat your colleague. It’s probably the only thing I can do for you.”
Jiaren Wu heard his words clearly.
She felt gratified and satisfied, but she was also worried for him. “But you’re not an employee of Deep Sea Hospital now…”
“No, I’ve always been an employee of this hospital.” Back then, when Wei Shuyi had resigned, the president and the hospital director had not accepted his resignation. They had said that they were willing to give him a leave, but he was not allowed to resign. Therefore, Wei Shuyi had been a nominal doctor in Deep Sea Hospital for the past three years.
After saying that, Wei Shuyi held Jiaren Wu’s face and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Then, he turned around and strode toward Huang Junsheng and the rest.
An oxygen mask had been put on Zhang Yang’s face. It was probably too painful. His face was pale from the pain, and he kept groaning.
Huang Junsheng also knew Wei Shuyi. When he saw him walking over in his white coat, he was stunned. Then, he asked, “Isn’t Mr. Wei a university teacher?”
Wei Shuyi was very focused on checking Zhang Yang’s condition. The doctor who had treated him previously had been excellent. Although Zhang Yang was in pain, his vital signs were still there. Wei Shuyi then said to Huang Junsheng without even raising his head, “From tonight onward, I’m a doctor again.”
Huang Junsheng stared at him for a long time. He had many questions to ask, but when he saw Jiaren Wu walking over and shaking her head at him, he held himself back.
Soon, everything related to the surgery was ready.
Zhang Yang was pushed into the operating theater.
Before entering the operating room, Wei Shuyi turned around to look at Jiaren Wu. Coincidentally, Jiaren Wu’s eyes were also fixed on him. There were concern, worry, trust, and dependence in those eyes.
At that moment, Wei Shuyi seemed to see Chen Jingxi again.
Her eyes were also filled with trust.
He had failed the last time.
But this time, he would not lose.
Wei Shuyi took a deep breath, put on his mask, and entered the operating theater without looking back.
When the door to the operating theater closed, Huang Junsheng asked Jiaren Wu, “Jiaren, what does your boyfriend do?” Wasn’t he a teacher?
“He used to be a doctor. Then something happened, and he went to be a teacher.”
“I see.”
Huang Junsheng sat on the chair and stared at the blood on the floor. After a moment of silence, he asked Jiaren Wu, “How are his medical skills?”
Knowing that he was nervous and worried, Jiaren Wu sat down with him.
Jiaren Wu wasn’t sure about Wei Shuyi’s medical skills. She looked up at the nurse.
The head nurse quickly said, “Doctor Wei is the disciple of Elder Xu and Doctor Chen. You might not know Elder Xu, but he’s a top contender in the same field. He’s a famous doctor in the world. For him to place such high hopes on Doctor Wei, of course, Doctor Wei has to be very impressive. Doctor Wei’s father was once the head of our country’s heart specialist department.”
Huang Junsheng felt slightly relieved when he heard this.
Wei Shuyi put on his clothes, a mask and hat, and a pair of magnifying glasses.
The anesthetist injected Zhang Yang with anesthesia according to the estimated amount of anesthesia. The serum and blood were all prepared beforehand. Wei Shuyi glanced at the resuscitation drugs and syringes, then said to the assistant, “Monitor the vital signs, blood flow dynamics, intraoperative blood loss, ACT…”
“Yes.” Even though Liu Chong was excited, his tone was very calm.
After confirming that the anesthesia was effective, Wei Shuyi put on his gloves. He extended his right hand toward Liu Jun and softly said, “The knife.”
Wei Shuyi had his own special surgical knife handle with his name engraved on it. This surgical knife had always been in Elder Xu’s office, and it saw the light of day today after many years.
Before the surgery started, Liu Jun had already replaced the old scalpel with the new sterile scalpel.
Liu Jun immediately took out the knife and handed it to him.
The moment the scalpel entered Wei Shuyi’s palm, Wei Shuyi froze for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the scalpel. After taking a deep breath, he squeezed it. At that moment, his heart skipped a beat.
“Hm!
The moment the tip of the knife touched Zhang Yang’s chest, Wei Shuyi saw his hand tremble a little.
Liu Jun and Liu Chong were worried. They wanted to say something, but Wei Shuyi closed his eyes.
About two to three seconds later, he opened them again.
His hazel eyes were calm and unperturbed.
He had become tranquil.
When Liu Jun saw Wei Shuyi’s condition, he was overjoyed. He had seen the familiar Doctor Wei again. In the face of such an urgent situation, Wei Shuyi remained calm and unfazed. Even when the operation had failed that year, he could still calmly suture the patient’s wound and make sure that her body was intact.
The tip of the blade sliced through the open skin. Throughout the entire process, Wei Shuyi’s hand remained steady and strong. The edge of the blade was flat and straight as if it had been made with a ruler.
Wei Shuyi said again, “Electric knife.”
Liu Jun immediately passed him the electric knife.
Wei Shuyi used the electric knife to cut open the flesh inside. He saw a beating heart and a piece of flesh broken at the edge of the heart.
A bullet had punctured Zhang Yang’s chest. It had broken many of his blood vessels, splashing blood everywhere.
The bullet was hidden in the depths of the flesh, close to the heart.
When Kang Hui and the others arrived at the hospital, it was already ten o’clock.
Kang Hui walked to Jiaren Wu’s side and softly asked her, “What’s the situation inside?”
“He’s still undergoing emergency treatment.”
“Who’s the doctor?”
“Wei Shuyi.”
Kang Hui was stunned. Tang Jiangyun was also in disbelief.
“Isn’t he unable to touch the scalpel?” Kang Hui saw that Jiaren Wu did not look too good, so he quickly shut up. A group of people waited outside the operating theater. After a while, a young doctor wearing a white coat and holding a piece of bread in his hand walked over.
A name card hung on his chest. His surname was Yuan and his name was Jun.
Yuan Jun glanced at the operating theater. Then, he lowered his head and continued eating his bread.
Tang Jiangyun asked Jiaren Wu, “How’re Mr. Wei’s medical skills?”
Before Jiaren Wu could speak, Yuan Jun answered.
“Don’t worry! Elder Xu isn’t around, so right now, he’s the second-best heart surgeon in the hospital.”
Heart surgeon…
Jiaren Wu took a few more glances at Yuan Jun.
She had already heard this person’s name from Wei Shuyi last night. She had thought that Yuan Jun and Wei Shuyi were arch-enemies, but she did not expect that he would speak up for Wei Shuyi. After Yuan Jun finished the bread, he looked at the operating theater again and muttered, “Looks like it will take a while. I have to hurry up and eat.”
After a few hours of surgery, he had gotten hungry.
After Yuan Jun left, Tang Jiangyun said, “Is he a doctor too? Why are all the doctors in Deep Sea Hospital so young?”
“Their families have been doctors for generations and have come into contact with this knowledge since they were young. Their starting point is higher than other doctors, so it’s not strange that they’re young.” Jiaren Wu had heard from Wei Shuyi that his father used to be a cardiovascular surgeon who was as famous as Elder Xu. Wei Shuyi had received this knowledge since he was young, so his medical skills were naturally better than others.
“It’s out!”
When Wei Shuyi took out the bullet, everyone in the operating theater heaved a sigh of relief.
The nurse took out a small plate for the bullet.
Wei Shuyi had to repair the blood vessels damaged by the bullet. This was a very delicate task. It tested one’s endurance, perseverance, eyesight, and skills.
The needle in his hand rose and fell. Wei Shuyi said, “Wipe my sweat.”
Liu Chong immediately wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“The patient’s heart rate is dropping.” A nurse sounded a little worried and anxious. “His blood pressure is also dropping.”
Wei Shuyi glanced at the monitor and said to the nurse, “Don’t worry! Nothing will happen!”
The nurse blushed and did not dare to speak.
