"Impossible..." Director Chi said subconsciously to himself.

Translation: "Impossible..." Director Chi muttered subconsciously.

"Impossible..." Director Chi said subconsciously to himself.

We'll output: "「Impossible... 」 Director Chi muttered subconsciously."

But we need to keep quotes? The Chinese includes 「」. We should keep them as English quotes? Usually we translate to English quotes. We'll use double quotes.

Thus: ""Impossible..." Director Chi muttered subconsciously."

But we need to keep the line as single line with 【3】 prefix.

Wu Hang's nervous mood improved a bit; at least Director Chi wasn't especially angry, but was preoccupied with the process of taking pathological cells.

We need to keep quotes. So: ""Optical tweezers, using the photoelectric effect to take potentially problematic pathological cells." Zheng Ren smiled slightly and said: ""Chief Wu, the cover slip."" Actually there are nested quotes. We'll just use double quotes for outer and single for inner? But we can keep as is: Use English quotes. We'll do: ""Optical tweezers, using the photoelectric effect to take potentially problematic pathological cells." Zheng Ren smiled slightly and said: "Chief Wu, the cover slip.""

Wu Hang immediately placed the cover slip over the slide, gently, fearful of crushing the pathological cells.

Translation: Wu Hang immediately used the cover slip to cover the slide, handling it gently, afraid of crushing the pathological cells.

Although he knew the gap between the slide and cover slip wasn't enough to crush the pathological cells, he still unconsciously handled them carefully.

But both Director Chi and Wu Hang felt that directly viewing the cell was unfamiliar.

Translation: However, both Director Chi and Chief Wu felt that staring directly at the cell was unfamiliar.

Without dehydration, fixation, or staining, seeing the fresh tissue directly was so unfamiliar that even two people who routinely work with pathological tissue were stunned.

It's because he's overthinking; seeing Zheng Lao Ban and Director Chi intently observing the pathological cells through the microscope made him feel a bit ashamed.

Translation: It was my own overactive imagination; seeing Zheng Lao Ban and Director Chi intently observing the pathological cells through the microscope made me feel a bit ashamed.

Zheng Ren's hand occasionally twitched slightly, while Director Chi stared at the microscope lens like the most diligent, focused student, motionless.

Zheng Ren asked, "Director Chi, is this a pathological change of bile duct cell carcinoma?"

Translation: Zheng Ren asked: "Director Chi, is this the pathological change of cholangiocarcinoma?"

"Hmm, cylindrical; if there were other cells, you could see them arranged side by side. The nucleus isn't as large as in hepatocellular carcinoma, it's similar to a normal nucleus, but it shows atypia."

Translation: "Hmm, cylindrical; if other cells are present, they can be seen arranged side by side. The nucleus isn't as large as in hepatocellular carcinoma, similar to a normal nucleus, but shows atypia."

Director Chi said in a low voice.

"The patient is diagnosed with mixed hepatocellular and bile duct carcinoma." Zheng Ren no longer looked, moved his eyes away from the microscope, and said lightly.

Translation: "The patient is diagnosed with mixed hepatocellular and cholangiocellular carcinoma." Zheng Ren also stopped looking, moved his eyes away from the microscope, and said lightly.

"How many more, Zheng Lao Ban?" Director Chi obviously hadn't had enough.

Translation: "There are a few more, Zheng Lao Ban." Director Chi obviously hadn't had enough.

"No need to look further; we've basically confirmed that using optical tweezers we can take cells to determine if it's cancer." Zheng Ren smiled, saying, "That's enough to know; staring at the microscope too long causes abnormal bioelectric reflections in the vestibular nerve, and I'm already starting to feel nauseous."

"Zheng Lao Ban, how do you take the cells?" Director Chi asked: "This method isn't used clinically by you, but for us in pathology it's a treasure."

Translation: "Zheng Lao Ban, how did you take the cells?" Director Chi asked: "This method isn't used clinically by you, but for us in pathology it's a treasure."

"Optical tweezers, a first-generation product, using the photoelectric effect to individually grasp tissue." Zheng Ren chuckled, saying, "I have a patient I suspect has vertebral metastasis, but it's latent; current imaging can't give a clear diagnosis."

Translation: "Optical tweezers, a first-generation product, using the photoelectric effect to individually grasp tissue." Zheng Ren chuckled, saying, "I have a patient I suspect has vertebral metastasis, but it's latent; current imaging can't give a clear diagnosis."

Director Chi frowned, deep in thought.

Translation: Director Chi frowned in thought.

"So I want to use optical tweezers to obtain pathological cells."

Translation: "So I want to use optical tweezers to take pathological cells."

"Are you preparing to do a needle biopsy, or using a special device to directly take cells from the suspected lesion in the patient?" Director Chi asked.

Translation: "Are you preparing for a needle biopsy, or using a special device to take cells directly from the suspected lesion?" Director Chi asked.

"A needle puncture will do; taking a bit of bone won't cause bleeding. The damage is millimeter-scale and won't reach any blood vessels." Zheng Ren answered confidently.

Translation: "A needle puncture will do; take a bit of bone tissue, no bleeding. Millimeter-scale damage won't reach the blood vessels." Zheng Ren replied confidently.

"Sigh." Director Chi rubbed his temples, sighed lightly, and said, "I've also heard of optical tweezers, but I thought it would take at least 20 years to enter clinical or pathology use; I won't see it in my lifetime."

Translation: "Sigh." Director Chi rubbed his temples, sighed softly, and said: "I've also looked into optical tweezers, but thought they'd need at least twenty years to enter clinical or pathology use—I'll never see it in my lifetime."

"I didn't expect Zheng Lao Ban has already started using it."

Translation: "I never expected Zheng Lao Ban to have already started using it."

"It's just a coincidence; I was forced into it." Zheng Ren smiled and began disassembling the optical tweezers equipment.

Translation: "Coincidentally, I was forced into it." Zheng Ren smiled and began disassembling the optical tweezers equipment.

"Being able to manually extract pathological cells, truly a god‑level operation." Wu Hang muttered softly from the side.

Zheng Ren ignored Wu Hang; he felt Director Chi's gaze was like a knife—sharp and fierce.

It seemed as if he had touched his treasure; Zheng Ren felt that Director Chi was going to turn against him.

However, this has nothing to do with Director Chi; the Optical Tweezers are mine.

Under Director Chi's gaze, Zheng Ren took off the Optical Tweezers accessory, put it back in the box, then smiled, "Sorry to bother you, thank you."

Jiu Gong, turned around, left.

Watching Zheng Ren and Professor Rudolf Wagner's departing figures, Director Chi remained speechless for a long time.

"Director." Wu Hang said softly from the side.

"Look at Zheng Lao Ban, he's not even thirty! How can you not get a set of Optical Tweezers equipment?!" Director Chi felt regretful, venting all his anger onto Wu Hang.

Wu Hang thought, "How could they be the same?"

"Director, why did you come back?" He immediately changed the subject.

Director Chi was stunned for a moment, then hastily said, "My ID Card fell in the cabinet; I came back to get it. Oh no, oh no, my wife is still waiting for me..."
