Chapter 350 - 350: The Real And Fake Disciples of the Divine Physician
Thinking about this, in the chat box, Nan Yan typed a few words: [Big brother,
I went to bed early yesterday and didn’t see your message.]
[Today, I have to perform surgery on Third Senior Brother, and I need to conserve my energy and focus.]
The surgery was extremely complex, and conservatively estimating, it would take at least eight hours or more under normal circumstances.
After replying to the message, Nan Yan went to freshen up. When she returned, there were two new messages in the WeChat chat box:
[I understand.]
[Focus on the surgery.]
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Nan Yan’s lips. She didn’t reply to the messages and instead put her phone away, heading downstairs for breakfast.
To preserve enough energy, Nan Yan even canceled her usual morning training for the day.
She arrived at the hospital right at 8 AM. Nan Yan had prepared everything for the surgery beforehand, and after changing into her surgical attire, she entered the operating room.
Outside, Fu Linfeng anxiously waited for the surgery to conclude. Despite Nan Yan’s assurance that there would be no mistakes, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Eight or nine hours had passed in the blink of an eye, but the lights in the operating room were still on.
Fu Linfeng couldn’t help but become increasingly uneasy. Why was it taking so long? Had something gone wrong? What was happening?
Could his elder brother be in danger?
Fu Linfeng was on the verge of losing his composure, unable to stand still, pacing back and forth outside the operating room.
Just as he was feeling anxious, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He irritably pulled out his phone, not even bothering to check the caller ID, and answered with a harsh tone, “Calling me at a time like this, are you trying to get yourself killed? Get lost!”
After shouting, he hung up without giving the person on the other end a chance to speak.
The person on the other end hadn’t even said a word and had already received a scolding.
As she realized this, her delicate and beautiful face flushed with anger.
She dialed the phone again. Fu Linfeng hadn’t even put his phone back in place, and when he heard the phone ring again, his temper flared.
“Damn, won’t you give it a rest!”
He was looking for an outlet to release his pent-up negative emotions. He was ready to give the person who had called him at such an inappropriate time a piece of his mind.
However, when he saw the name displayed on the incoming call, his arrogance quickly dissipated.
“Chu… Sister Chuchu, it’s you. I’m sorry, I didn’t check the caller ID earlier. Can you pretend you didn’t hear those words?”
Ling Yingchu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Little Feng, we haven’t seen each other in a few months, and your temper has certainly grown.”
Fu Linfeng pleaded, “Chuchu, I was just too worried and anxious, that’s why I said those things. I’m sorry, I know I was wrong!”
Ling Yingchu wasn’t the type to hold grudges, and she hadn’t been that angry to begin with. Hearing Fu Linfeng’s explanation, her anger subsided.
“Alright, I won’t hold it against you this time. But if you dare to yell at me like that again next time, I’ll show you how I deal with you.”
Fu Linfeng quickly flattered her, “Hehe, Chuchu, you’re so magnanimous, you’re too good to me!”
“Enough with the flattery. What about your big brother? I couldn’t reach him on his phone. Are you with him?”
“He’s in the operating room.”
Ling Yingchu became concerned. “What’s going on? Has his condition worsened? Why is everyone in the operating room?”
When she left a few months ago, Fu Yubai’s condition, at least on the surface, seemed manageable. He was always good at hiding his pain unless his body couldn’t handle it anymore. He never let on to her how dire his situation had become.
“No, my big brother has improved a lot compared to before. Today’s surgery is to help him fully recover.”
“Don’t worry, Chuchu. I’ll have my big brother call you back once he’s out of surgery.”
Ling Yingchu’s voice was stern. “Tell me the address. I’m coming over right now!”
After some consideration, Fu Linfeng realized he couldn’t keep it from her. “Alright, I’ll send you the location through WeChat.”
Ling Yingchu hung up the phone and looked at the woman beside her with anxiety.
“Miss li, my boyfriend is in Jin City. Could I trouble you to go to Jin City with me? I don’t know who they found to perform the surgery, and I’m afraid something might go wrong. I hope you can be there in case of an emergency and provide timely assistance.”
She had gone abroad for several months specifically to find a renowned physician to treat Fu Yubai. However, when she returned with people in tow, she found herself empty-handed.
When she tried calling again, Fu Yubai was already in surgery. She couldn’t help but regret that if she had returned just one day earlier, she could have stopped it in time and prevented other doctors from tampering with Fu Yubai’s body.
Ji Yunmiao’s face displayed annoyance. “Since someone is already treating him, why are you looking for me? My time is precious, and I don’t have time for you to waste.”
“Miss Ji, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect it to turn out this way. If I had told them in advance that I had invited you to treat him, things would have been better.”
Ling Yingchu looked guilty, her tone apologetic. “Miss Ji, please rest assured that I will double the consultation fee I promised you. I beg you, help me save him!”
This statement made Ji Yunmiao even more displeased. “Do you think I care about money?”
“No, of course not!” Ling Yingchu’s tone became urgent. “Miss Ji, you are the direct disciple of the Divine Physician. You are not an ordinary person. I misspoke…”
In the past few months, she had spent at least a hundred million to please Ji
Yunmiao. However, none of that money had been voluntarily requested by Ji Yunmiao. It was spent on resources like herbs, clothing, luxury bags, and other items for her.
Inviting her to come to China for consultation was something Ji Yunmiao had suggested herself, for a consultation fee of twenty million.
Ling Yingchu didn’t think that was expensive. As long as she could cure Fu Yubai, even if it was two billion, she would pay it without hesitation.
Ji Yunmiao reluctantly agreed in the end. Ling Yingchu expressed her gratitude and quickly went to arrange for a plane.
They were currently in Yun City. While the road trip to Jin City only took two to three hours by car, flying there would only take fifteen minutes. Ling Yingchu didn’t want to waste any time, so she chose the fastest way to get there.
The plane landed in an open area in front of the First Hospital. After getting off the plane, Ling Yingchu and Ji Yunmiao headed straight for the operating room.
At this moment, the lights in the operating room finally went out. Fu Linfeng, who was sitting in a chair, immediately jumped up and walked briskly to the door of the operating room.
“Little Feng!”
Fu Linfeng turned around and saw that Ling Yingchu had arrived. He was surprised. “Chuchu, you’re here so quickly?”
Ling Yingchu hurriedly asked, “Is your big brother inside?”
Fu Linfeng nodded in haste, “Yes, Chuchu, you’ve arrived at just the right time..
Big brother’s surgery is over, and he’ll be coming out soon!”
