Chapter 8
Head Kicking
Su Jing understood that very well, so she never even considered involving him. Chen Yang had a notoriously bad temper, and he would dismiss people 99% of the time, without sparing any dignity.
“What do we do now?”
Perhaps because they were speaking too loudly, a crowd of eight or nine people had gathered at the door of the ward, engrossed in gossip.
Professor Wang, concerned about the situation escalating, tried to console Fang Yuan. “Young lady, this surgery is extremely challenging, and none of us can be certain of the outcome. Besides Dr. Hua He, there is no one in the world who can guarantee a successful operation for Old Master Bo. It’s not that we don’t want to perform the surgery, but we can’t take the risk without assurance.”
Without a stable heart, they would have to wait until the family members arrived to sign the consent form, enabling them to proceed with a bold attempt at saving the patient. Otherwise, they couldn’t make a decision, considering Old Master Bo’s influence and power.
“She mentioned getting paid after the surgery,” Fang Yuan interjected.
Professor Wang paused for a moment, taken aback. “Well… that’s true!”
Money wasn’t a concern if it meant saving Old Master Bo’s life.
Fang Yuan had generated substantial wealth for the Fang Family, and it all ended up in the family’s coffers. With Madame Old Fang falling ill, she had no personal savings. Taking on a minor surgery could provide her with some earnings.
Observing the confident look in Fang Yuan’s eyes, Professor Wang couldn’t help but inquire, “Young lady, do you truly have knowledge of medicine?”
Fang Yuan smiled. “No problem with a scalpel.”
Curious, Professor Wang asked, “How do you intend to save him?”
“For a heart transplant, of course, but on the condition that Chen Yang acts as my assistant,” Fang Yuan replied.
“Hehe…” Su Jing must have lost her mind at that remark. “Who do you think you are? And who is Chen Yang? I can bring him here, but he would never agree to be your assistant. If he does, I’ll chop off my head and use it as a football!”
Speaking of him, Fang Yuan turned to Professor Wang with a look of disdain. “Professor Wang, don’t waste any more time on her. We don’t have much time left. Let’s proceed with the heart-suppressing medicine and comfort measures!” Then she instructed the nurse standing next to her, “Go and fetch the medicine, and also inform the security office. We have a mentally unstable individual here!”
As the nurse went to retrieve the medicine, she happened to encounter Yang Chen in the corridor and quickly explained the situation to him.
Soon, a familiar voice echoed through the hallway.
“Who mentioned my name?”
Everyone looked up in astonishment as they saw Yang Chen standing there. How did the nurse manage to bring Yang Chen here? It seemed impossible for a nurse to have such influence.
“Doctor Chen, you’ve arrived at the perfect time!” Su Jing seized the opportunity to speak. “It’s this crazy girl who wants you to perform the surgery!”
Chen Yang glanced at Fang Yuan, who stood calmly as if unfazed by all the commotion. He frowned at Su Jing, displeased with her words. He turned to the others and inquired, “What’s going on?”
Su Jing hurriedly explained the situation to him, emphasizing that there were no known cases like this in the country or abroad.
“Well, what are we waiting for then?” Chen Yang, taking Fang Yuan’s side, accepted the challenging task. He said in an expressionless tone, “Let’s prepare for the surgery.”
“Doctor Chen, why are you getting involved with her?” Su Jing was taken aback by his response. After a moment of surprise, she attempted to leave a good impression on Chen Yang. She tucked her hair behind her ears, revealing what she thought was a beautiful side profile. “The success rate is less than 5%. The patient is a person of great stature, and if anything goes wrong, none of us will be able to bear the responsibility!”
Annoyed, Chen Yang retorted, “You don’t have to worry about bearing any responsibility if something goes wrong!”
“Doctor Chen…” Su Jing wanted to say more, but Chen Yang cut her off.
“I will bear full responsibility!”
Hearing this, all the doctors were shocked. Was he really going to play a joke on his career with this girll?
Chen Yang did not waste his breath on them. He glanced at Fang Yuan. “Come with me.” He was going to take her to the operating room.
When Fang Yuan passed by Su Jing, she smiled. “Didn’t you say that you were going to rip off your head for me to play football with?”
“You!” Su Jing was speechless. She did say that if Yang Chen was willing to be her assistant, she would chop off her head and let her play it as the football. But she had not expected that Yang Chen would really agree to this proposal. Yang Chen was such a proud person, why did he change? Was it because the girl was good-looking?
