“No reason. Just to avoid trouble.”

Nuannuan spoke in a casual manner. She did not have any desire to get famous because of this.

She thought about how she was the chairman of the Imperial Phoenix Group, yet her style of doing things was so low-key. She had not even bothered to tell the world that she was the chairman of Imperial Phoenix Group, so why would she make her medical prowess known?

Dr. Cai looked at Nuannuan with admiration in his eyes. “Okay, don’t worry. I’ll deal with it.”

After they left the operating theater, Mrs. Ning rushed over. “Miss Nangong, how is Hao?”

Nangong Nuannuan just cracked a smile on her face when Old Master Ning walked up. “Miss Nangong, I’ve already made a reservation in Yihe Garden. Everything on your side of things is settled, right? If there’s nothing else, let’s go and have a chat.”

Nuannuan looked at Old Master Ning. His attitude toward her had improved a lot, but he was still bossy. She was quite displeased with this old man’s attitude.

Old Master Ning also lived in the courtyard, but Grandpa Nangong and Grandpa Chi rarely hung out with him.

“I thought that since Ning Wenhao’s surgery just finished, someone who’s as concerned about his grandson as Grandfather Ning would check on Ning Wenhao’s condition first.”

Old Master Ning frowned and felt that Nangong Nuannuan was a little arrogant. However, when he thought about her being the chairman of Imperial Phoenix, he put it out of his mind.

After all, she had the right to be arrogant.

Old Master Ning suppressed the anger in his heart. He said to Nuannuan, “I saw that Miss Nangong appeared indifferent and even smiled at Hao’s mother. I assume that the surgery must have been very successful. As his grandfather, I care about Hao. But since Hao is fine, we can certainly talk about the collaboration between the Ning Group and Imperial Phoenix.

“Old Master Ning, I still have to go back and study the infection of bacteria in Ning Wenhao’s lungs. How would I have the time to have tea with you? And I’ve never meddled in the affairs of Imperial Phoenix Group. So if you have anything to discuss, you can go to my big bro, Feng Shengxuan, or to the other two vice-presidents, Bai Liyue and Aiden.”

After saying that, Nuannuan gave him a small nod, turned away from Old Master Ning, and walked toward Chi Yang.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ning immediately followed Nangong Nuannuan.

Chi Yang glanced at Nuannuan and asked, “How was it?”

“I performed the surgery, and it was very successful. His wound is also very small, so it’s not a big problem for his body.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ning let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Miss Nangong, with Hao’s current condition, how long more can he hold on before you develop a targeted drug?”

Nuannuan was silent for a moment before she said, “Five days at most. After five days, his condition will completely deteriorate.”

Mao Yating’s brimming tears started flowing when she heard that.

“Then… Then can you develop a drug to suppress the bacteria in his body within those five days?”

“Auntie Mao, I’ll do my best.”

Since even her YRI-IBO-3 drug failed to suppress the outbreak in Ning Wenhao’s body, Nuannuan definitely did not dare to casually guarantee that.

Although she was interested in developing a new drug in less than five days, she dared not make such grand claims.

Mrs. Ning also knew that it would be impossible to complete medicinal research within a year, let alone five days. However, Nuannuan was now her only hope, so all she could do was depend on her.

However, Nuannuan’s promise to do her best could not comfort Mrs. Ning at all.

Seeing her sorrowful face, Nuannuan could only say, “Auntie Mao, I was able to perform a surgery on Ning Wenhao and get a sample of his lung alveoli to study in his current state. This means that there’s still hope for him.”.
