Chapter 255: Suppression (League Leader Feng Aiyun's bonus update ×4)

Ling Tian walked out of his boss's house with a sinister look on his face.

Qin Chu had been sharply rebuked by Ji Xiang to his face, hitting the most unbearable part of his heart; added to that was the experience—which he could not speak of to others—of witnessing the entire process of a tumor patient from the completion of surgery to death, and he had completely fallen apart.

Although there was no physical organ damage, Qin Chu's spirit had collapsed, shattered into pieces that could not even be glued back together.

He had tried to perform surgery, but his hands shook violently the moment he touched a guide wire; it looked like he was completely finished.

Although Qin at his age rarely performed surgeries in the operating room anymore, retiring voluntarily and being cursed out of the profession were two different things.

Ling Tian felt deep hatred in his heart; the longer time passed, the more intense the hatred became, so thick it could not be dissolved.

【Teacher Ling, Zhou Jiaoshou Tianbo, a student of Gu Lao from the Urology Department, is going to hold a surgery competition. The surgery video our hospital submitted is one that Doctor Ji Xiang just performed.】

He took out his phone, glanced at the message, and frowned.

Ling Tian was not surprised that Ji Xiang's surgery could participate in a provincial-level surgery competition.

Ji Xiang's technique was extremely formidable; this could be seen from his interventional surgery performance alone.

As long as one has sufficient basic knowledge and a deep enough understanding of anatomy, the difficulty of performing urological surgery is actually not that high.

Since you are seeking your own death, then I will grant your wish, Ling Tian thought to himself.

He began to inquire about Gu Lao's recent itinerary.

After all, as an insider, the Interventional Department and the Urology Department had some connections; as long as Ling Tian wanted to, it was not difficult to dig up some information.

To show support for Zhou Tianbo, Gu Lao had invited several experts in urology from the Imperial Capital to serve as judges together.

People knowing people, the connections were a bit distant, and Ling Tian felt slightly out of reach.

But whenever he remembered his boss, who was like a walking corpse after being scolded and having his bottom line exposed by Ji Xiang in front of everyone, Ling Tian could not suppress the fire in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Tian bought a plane ticket and flew straight to the Imperial Capital.

Through the introduction of a colleague, Ling Tian found a urology expert, Director Xu Guangwen.

"Director Xu, sorry to bother you." Ling Tian shed his arrogant demeanor and sat very politely in Director Xu's office.

"Professor Ling, you are being too polite." Director Xu gave Ling Tian sufficient respect. "What advice do you have?"

"It's shameful to say." Ling Tian sighed. "Some time ago, our Interventional Department also had a surgery competition. My boss, with his discerning eye, discovered in a surgery video submitted by a grassroots hospital that someone performed surgery quite well."

"Oh!" Director Xu was startled. There were countless rumors in the circle about who Qin Chu was, and Director Xu knew a thing or two.

But such a story of a talent scout recognizing a horse could indeed be called a beautiful tale for a time, and coupled with the subsequent bloody storm, he pricked up his ears with great interest.

"That doctor is still a Standardized Training Student."

"!!!" Countless exclamation marks appeared above Director Xu's head.

It was true; the rumors in the circle were confirmed by Ling Tian—it was actually true!

"My boss was thirsty for talent and sent me to take a look. I judged his level to be average; one could only say he was a piece of uncut jade, and it would really be a waste to leave him at the grassroots level."

"Did Qin Lao take him as a closed-door disciple?" Director Xu asked tentatively.

"My boss truly felt he had found a piece of uncut jade and was prepared to spend the rest of his life carving it. It is shameful to say..."

Ling Tian said "shameful" once more.

Director Xu was a bit puzzled; he stared intently at Ling Tian.

"My boss held an academic conference and invited various interventional masters from East China and South China to attend."

"!!!"

Director Xu was surprised; this was too big of a commotion. He hadn't received much information and didn't know that Qin would go to such lengths.

To take on a disciple, Qin Lao actually used his old reputation to invite industry masters to attend the conference and introduce him in public.

His thoughts stirred; he knew that the "uncut jade" Ling Tian spoke of might not be exactly that.

If it were just a piece of uncut jade, it wouldn't be worth making such a big fuss.

"My boss even invited Academician Teng to grace us with his guidance."

Director Xu was completely stunned.

Although they were not in the same system, he had only heard of Academician Teng's great name, but that was an Academician after all!

"Who knew that the little Standardized Training Student was born with a rebellious streak? He caused a huge scene during the conference and made my boss so angry he fell ill."

"Ah!"

Director Xu never expected that everything was just as the rumors said.

Whose young person could be so ignorant of the world!

"Is Qin Lao's health alright now?" Director Xu quickly asked with concern.

"He is recuperating at home and hasn't been to the hospital for a long time. His mood is very low; my boss has suffered a great blow." Ling Tian lowered his head, his voice slightly choked.

Director Xu was silent.

"Director Xu, he is a Standardized Training Doctor working in the Urology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital." Ling Tian finished the background briefly without further explanation and cut to the point. "I know that Gu Lao invited you to be a judge this time to help cheer for Zhou Jiaoshou Tianbo."

"Then what do you mean..."

"That little Standardized Training Doctor also submitted a surgery video to participate in the competition." Ling Tian tried hard to calm his emotions.

Director Xu laughed, "I understand, Professor Ling."

"Then I'll trouble you." Ling Tian said, "I won't say any more polite words; if you have anything in the future, just give me a call."

Ling Tian said half a sentence; the rest was very clear, no need to be too explicit.

After seeing Ling Tian off, Director Xu pondered carefully for a long time and felt that this matter had a hundred benefits and no harm to him.

A little Standardized Training Doctor, even if he had some talent, what could he do?

The holding of this surgery competition itself was to pad the resume of Gu Lao's student, Zhou Jiaoshou Tianbo, and he was just going to show support.

Gu Lao had already called; could he refuse?

Besides, everyone else going there was just icing on the cake; otherwise, if only Zhou Tianbo's surgery were participating, would that even be called a competition?

It was only logical that he should cast his vote for Zhou Tianbo.

Professor Ling Tian must have been extremely angry to entrust someone to find him; it was completely unnecessary.

Although Director Xu felt it was a little bit strange, he didn't say much, and everything seemed logical.

Being able to sell two favors with one action, he felt it was a great deal.

That Standardized Training Doctor named Ji Xiang definitely wouldn't be able to place in the surgery competition; setting aside the videos submitted by directors from other hospitals in the Provincial Hospital, who would vote for a Standardized Training Doctor?

They must have a screw loose.

However, Director Xu still harbored some curiosity about what kind of young person could make Qin Lao, Qin Chu, value them so much that he would hold an academic conference to announce to the world that he had taken a closed-door disciple.

Moreover, Qin Lao even invited Academician Teng to attend.

The most critical part was that a story unfolded at the conference, and Qin Lao was so angered that he was bedridden.

Director Xu made some inquiries, but those who attended the conference were tight-lipped, dodging the question and changing the subject; no one explained what had happened at the time.

It really is very strange.

On the weekend, Director Xu, Gu Lao, and another Professor Wei from the Imperial Capital flew over to participate in the judging work for the surgery competition.
