Chapter 151: Kidney Operation
After reaching the presidential suite in the hotel, Chen Chen first checked the entire room.
After making sure that there were no cameras installed here, Cheng Cao showed himself and placed the unconscious Sloane Banc into the bathtub in the bathroom.
As this was a five-star hotel, the entire room was luxuriously decorated. Even the bathtub was a Duravit and was large enough to hold two people.
The bathroom walls were made out of translucent glass, situated in the center of the bedroom. One could vaguely see into the bathroom no matter where one stood.
Seeing this design, Chen Chen could not help reflecting that it was truly appropriate for this dandy they had on their hands. Following that, he called the front desk. In a short while, a hotel attendant brought about a dozen ice trays.
After thanking and tipping the attendant, Chen Chen locked the door and handed the ice trays to Cheng Cao.
While Cheng Cao was making the ice cubes, Chen Chen returned to the bathroom and took out a pair of rubber gloves and a mask from the surgical box with a stoic expression.
After putting on the mask, Chen Chen took off Sloane’s shirt and quickly disinfected his patient with iodophor. After all, their medical resources were limited here. This was the best Chen Chen could do.
After the disinfection, Chen Chen used his fingers to measure the width of two fingers below the man’s lower left ribs. Then, taking note of that point, Chen Chen retrieved a medical marker from the medical box and starting from the spot, drew a line over the left iliac fossa, all the way to the lower abdomen.
The iliac fossa was the bone that held up one’s belt. At this time, Chen Chen drew a line about twenty centimeters long on the left.
After he was done with the left side, Chen Chen drew a line on the right in a symmetrical manner.
The incision had to be this big so that the operation would be safer. After all, the patient’s safety must be ensured. As the medical conditions of the hotel were lacking, Chen Chen could not use minimally invasive methods.
After this, Chen Chen took note of the time and injected a second anesthetic into the comatose middle-aged man, preventing the patient from waking up in the middle of the operation.
After injecting the anesthetic, Chen Chen took out a towel provided by the hotel, bolstered Sloane Blanc’s waist, and immediately took out a No. 10 scalpel, gently cutting it along the line drawn on the left...
Instantly, dark red blood flowed soundlessly from the wound. It looked particularly garish against the clean, white tub.
Still, this was just blood from the capillaries, which was like a drop in the ocean compared to the entire body. Chen Chen took out some surgical cotton and wiped the wound.
After confirming that the epidermis had been fully incised, Chen Chen put down the No. 10 scalpel and instead, picked up a sharper No. 11 scalpel. He began to cut the subcutaneous tissue.
After several layers of skin had been completely cut, Chen Chen took out the hemostatic forceps and fastened it onto the wound. Then he used scissors to cut the oblique aponeurosis. At this point, the organs of his patient’s abdomen were completely exposed.
Chen Chen took out some tools and started to clean the wound. With his hands, he moved Sloane’s colon out of the way. Only then was an object encased in yellow fat revealed to him.
That was a kidney.
Chen Chen felt around the kidney to ascertain the position of the renal artery, the renal vein, and the ureter. After that, he cleaned off the fat on the kidney until the three tubes were fully exposed.
Generally speaking, a longer section of the kidney pedicle should be preserved during kidney transplantation to facilitate the transplantation, but Chen Chen did not intend to let his dear patient proceed with a transplantation.
Therefore, Chen Chen first clamped the artery and vein of the kidney with the hemostatic forceps, then cut off the ducts with a diagonal stroke of a scalpel. All at once, a live kidney had been extracted.
Chen Chen put the left kidney aside into the surgical tray, picked up the suture thread from the surgical box, and began to suture the patient’s wound.
Chen Chen sutured with great concentration. First, he stopped the bleeding of the severed vein and artery to an adequate extent, then sutured the vascular stump. After that, he returned the intestines to their initial position and performed the final wound suture.
When he sutured, Chen Chen used the internal figure-of-eight suturing method, employing absorbable biological thread to close the wound from inside. In this way, the thread would not be visible externally.
This method of suturing could also minimize the formation of scars.
Forty minutes later, Chen Chen finally straightened up. Before him, Sloane Blanc, this strong European Adonis, looked just as he did before. If a difference must be pointed out, it would be that his face was paler, like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.
In addition, there was a twenty-centimeter-long wound on Sloane’s left waist.
However, this was not over. Chen Chen picked up the No. 10 scalpel he had used just now and cut along the line on the right side...
After another forty minutes, when Chen Chen finally straightened up, there were two kidneys in the surgical tray in front of him.
He just did not know whether this dandy could continue fooling around now that his two kidneys were gone.
Chen Chen shook his head. It was not that he was cruel, but this man had provoked him first. Although Paul Blanc was the one who decided to capture Chen Chen, it was the heir of the Blanc family who made the proposal.
If Chen Chen was captured, it was obvious that a set of extremely cruel punishments would await Chen Chen until he disappeared from the face of the earth.
Now, Chen Chen was not even after this man’s life, only his two kidneys. Chen Chen was already being kind.
After finishing with this, Chen Chen turned and exited the bathroom. In a short while, there was a clinking noise from the refrigerator in the living room. Cheng Cao carried a bucket of solid ice cubes and poured them directly onto Sloane.
“Alright, we can leave now.”
Chen Chen looked at the time and started cleaning up the medical waste in the bathroom. He even intentionally placed a phone on the sink so that Sloane could call for help as soon as he woke up. At the same time, Chen Chen took out the medical marker and wrote “Happy Birthday” on the wall.
If the information supplied by Little X was correct, today was indeed the birthday of the young master, Sloane Blanc.
According to Chen Chen’s calculations, the anesthetic would only wear off in about an hour. After that, this playboy heir would wake up from his induced stupor. At that time, he would naturally know what to do, so Chen Chen did not need to worry.
By the time they left the hotel, it was already late at night.
Chen Chen wrapped up the two kidneys. He did not get into the car but headed directly to a private estate nearby.
This private manor was the residence of the Blanc family.
In other words, Chen Chen had removed Sloane Blanc’s two kidneys right under the nose of the Blanc family.
As Chen Chen approached the manor, he could sense the obvious tension in the air. News of Sloane Blanc’s disappearance had reached this place. Currently, the security in this estate was much tighter.
Nevertheless, this was nothing to Chen Chen. He immediately took out a small silver-white ball from his pocket and tapped it lightly.
There was an abrupt electromagnetic crackle. Chen Chen’s figure faded from solidity to transparency, until he finally melded into the night.
This was the cloaking device from The Predator.
The principle behind this device was not complicated. It formed a magnetic field around the user, rendering the effect of invisibility by distorting the light waves around the user.
It was because of this that this distortion would become apparent if the user encountered the flow of water, thus temporarily losing the invisibility effect.
It was late at night and Chen Chen did not have to worry about being spotted. He walked to the wall of the private manor, did a quick run-up, and kicked off the wall with both feet.
Instantly, he flew up over two meters high. His arms pushed off the top of the wall, and his entire body flipped over the wall as if he was climbing over a railing.
“Thud...”
There was a soft noise as Chen Chen landed lightly on the lawn on both feet.
When he stood up, Chen Chen noticed that there was a sprawling garden before him. It was bursting with colorful blossoms, creating breathtaking scenery.
A hundred meters away, there was a lavish, large manor, like the castle of a villa that towered over a kingdom of flowers.
This was where the Blanc family stayed.
