  • by Christopher Thompson Su Yun and Zheng Ren got into Manager Feng’s car. It was the only logical arrangement as there were too many of them to fit in one. The Mercedes-Benz S600 left the premises as silent as it had arrived. Fang Lin took his phone out to hire another vehicle. “Hey Fang Lin, did that really just happen?” “Yeah. That was quite a show.” He ordered a car and locked his phone. “Sea City is just a third-tier city. How did they get noticed by someone of this caliber?” “Well, that’s not…
  • by Christopher Thompson “About twenty days ago, the girl suddenly experienced excruciating pain during a meal and was admitted to a hospital in my hometown,” Fang Lin said, “She has undergone various tests, but the results have been disappointing.” “Fortunately, Boss Zheng was here,” said another man with a smile. “No, Brother Fang’s boss also wanted to perform a tissue biopsy, right?” replied Zheng Ren. “Had I been the one to handle this case, I would certainly not perform a tissue biopsy due to its…
  • by Christopher Thompson “What?” “It’s not esophageal cancer?” “F*ck! That’s impossible!” All of them were astonished. How could the diagnosis have been wrong when everything had pointed toward esophageal carcinoma? “Anyway, the tissue sample has been sent for histopathology, so it can’t be considered a loss yet.” Red Stethoscope was shameless. “Let’s go to Gui Street for Chinese-style spicy crawfish.” The mention of that food made Su Yun’s expression sink immediately. Zheng Ren was…
  • by Christopher Thompson Red Stethoscope read the films and brought the girl from the outpatient department to the inpatient department. Worried, the girl’s family brought their thick stack of films with them. The girl attracted a lot of attention, presumably due to her severe emaciation, which was a rare sight. “Probably an advanced cancer of the gastrointestinal system,” said a young doctor beside Su Yun sympathetically. “Her malignant tumor is so aggressive at such a young age. I don’t think there is much…
  • by Christopher Thompson The Hongqi dived into a sea of cars in Imperial Capital and headed slowly to its destination. Around an hour later, they arrived at a hospital located between West Fourth Ring Road and West Fifth Ring Road. Instead of using the front entrance, the car drove directly to a row of old buildings in the northwest corner through the back door. Although it was early winter, the vines still grew strong and added a tinge of greenish-yellow amongst a vast blanket of white. “You’ll stay here. It’s…
  • by Christopher Thompson No matter how unexpected the circumstances were, Feng Xuhui still fulfilled his duty as a professional manager. Under his guidance, Zheng Ren and Su Yun successfully located Professor Pei’s car. It was an inconspicuous Hongqi designed between ten to twenty years ago. Upon spotting Zheng Ren from afar, Professor Pei got out of the car and greeted him, “Little Zheng, over here.” “Professor Pei, that’s too polite of you.” Zheng Ren quickened his pace, a sign of respect for his elderly…
  • by Christopher Thompson The plane soon reached the terminal and allowed the passengers to disembark in an orderly manner. After the aircraft was empty, the flight attendants surrounded the captain and bombarded him with questions. “Captain, what happened?” “Brother Lin, what is going on?” “That was my first time seeing an air ambulance.” Captain Lin looked relaxed as well. He had done everything within his power to maximize the patient’s chance of survival, did he not deserve to be proud of it?…
  • by Christopher Thompson The captain deliberately lowered his voice to ensure the patient remained undisturbed. Even so, both Su Yun and Xia Hua heard the good news clearly. The muscles on Su Yun’s beautiful face spasmed involuntarily. He then lowered his head and allowed his black bangs to dance in the air. The captain’s words repeatedly swirled through Xia Hua’s mind, stunning him for a few seconds. He could not believe it. The Second Affiliated Hospital of Provincial Capital Medical University was the…
  • by Christopher Thompson Zheng Ren’s words shocked Su Yun. “You’re crazy!” Su Yun growled softly. It was one thing to save a life on public transportation such as airplanes and trains. Zheng Ren actually wanted to contact the control tower, and everyone knew what that meant. “He needs surgery that Sea City can’t provide, and it’ll be quicker to seek treatment in Imperial Capital than heading to the provincial capital. More importantly, I don’t know anyone in the provincial capital,” Zheng Ren…
  • by Christopher Thompson The diagnosis was highlighted in bloody red on the System panel at the upper right corner of Zheng Ren’s vision—type I aortic dissection. An aortic dissection was defined as a tear in the intimal layer of the aorta that resulted in the propagation of dissection, either proximally or distally, secondary to blood entering the intima-media space. It was an acute, life-threatening condition with its chance of occurrence ranging between one-one-hundred-thousandth and one-two-hundred-thousandth,…
