Chapter 1661: with translation of chapter title

Zheng Ren nodded.

Su Yun asked, 'What did you say to Chu Nu Ang Sai, acting so sneaky?'

'The thing inside the patient's right atrium is very likely a living creature. I asked Chu Nu Ang Sai whether...'

Su Yun said contemptuously, 'Boss, are you hallucinating now? A living creature? Do you think this is the liver? Once opened, it's all schistosomes?'

Zheng Ren said solemnly, 'No matter what it is, during the surgery you just need to hold the hook well; keep your hands out of the operative area.'

Su Yun seemed a bit angry, but seeing Zheng Ren's serious gaze, he was somewhat surprised. He could tell Zheng Ren was serious, not joking with him.

Chu Nu Ang Sai was quickly wheeled into the operating room. Before anesthesia, he grabbed Zheng Ren's hand and said, 'Boss Zheng, please take care of everything!'

Zheng Ren asked, 'Is your son outside?'

Chu Nu Ang Sai said pleadingly, 'Regardless of life or death, we must hand it over to my son. Also don't worry about my life or death; even if I die, we must try to extract the living creature!'

Zheng Ren nodded solemnly.

Lao He put on the oxygen mask, inhaled the anesthetic, and Chu Nu Ang Sai soon fell asleep.

Su Yun became cautious and asked, 'Boss, is it really a living creature?'

On the Nanyang side, there are many strange things, all passed down from the Chinese immigrants who came overseas during the Song and Ming dynasties to make a living.

Domestically, successive dynasties have suppressed these supernatural things especially strictly, so there is little inheritance.

But they grew wildly in Nanyang, unlocking another tech tree.

Zheng Ren nodded solemnly, glanced at Su Yun, and said, 'Be careful; I'll handle all the operations.'

Xie Yiren, having put on her clothes and lightly tapping instruments with a nurse, heard Zheng Ren and Su Yun's conversation, turned around and asked worriedly, 'Zheng Ren, how dangerous is it? You also need to be careful.'

Zheng Ren, looking into Xie Yiren's eyes, said, 'It's fine, I'll be very careful.'

Xie Yiren was interrupted, forgot the count, and had to continue checking with the nurse, saying, 'Yikes, what number are we at? Sorry, sorry.'

This time she didn't dare to get distracted; since Zheng Ren said it's fine, it should be fine.

After anesthesia, Su Yun began disinfecting, and Zheng Ren refused the request for a doctor from the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Nanyang National Hospital to come on stage.

Su Yun will listen to his own words, but this person might not.

Zheng Ren really doesn't want to experience a surgeon's death incident in reality if anything goes wrong.

If that Big Watermelon is punctured, it could break the record of a 300% mortality rate in surgical history.

But being both the surgeon and the deceased, that record is rather boring.

After disinfecting and laying out the sterile drapes, Zheng Ren also scrubbed his hands and went on stage.

Standing in the surgeon's position, Zheng Ren didn't say much; he reached out, and the forceps holding iodine-soaked gauze fell into his hand.

After disinfecting, they used a Willow Leaf Blade to cut the skin, an electric saw to saw the sternum, and achieved hemostasis.

Although there was only Su Yun as an assistant, it was no different from when he assisted with Zhao Yunlong before.

All coordination had reached the utmost tacit understanding.

Lao He, looking at the surgical area from Chu Nu Ang Sai's head, said somewhat emotionally, 'Boss Zheng, I never expected that going out for a walk with you would also encounter the heart taking up space. How do we establish extracorporeal circulation?'

Zheng Ren said, 'The femoral vein and the superior vena cava.'

Having coordinated with Lao He once before, he didn't stare at every little detail as he did last time.

This affirmed Lao He's skill level.

The atmosphere on the operating table was off, noticeable to Xie Yiren, Su Yun, and Lao He alike.

So no one spoke; even Lao He, who always wanted to be the funny man, restrained his talkative nature and cooperated seriously.

To establish extracorporeal circulation, Zheng Ren requested a heart stabilizer to fix the heart. This device resembles an octopus, generally called an octopus.

Su Yun asked honestly, 'Boss, is it from here that I can't enter the operative area?'

Although it was a heart surgery, he was extremely obedient, not moving when told not to.

Zheng Ren thought, 'Truly intelligent people live long; Gu did not deceive me.'

Zheng Ren nodded and said, 'From now on, only I will operate; you just stand to the side and watch.'

Su Yun didn't refute; his gaze became more fervent, as if one could see the flames of the Eight Trigrams blazing.

After fixing the heart and cutting open the right atrium, Su Yun was stunned.

What the hell is this?!

Zheng Ren began dissecting the normal tissue beneath the Big Watermelon; seeing his precise movements, Su Yun asked, 'Boss, did you see this in the images?'

Hmm.

Su Yun was astonished; how could he not have seen it? A deep sense of frustration lingered in his heart.

But after being hit many times, he quickly returned to normal.

People, you can't be at odds with yourself.

When Su Yun came to his senses, Zheng Ren had already begun to peel off the inner mucosal layer of the right atrium.

Su Yun watched the vines of the Big Watermelon eagerly receiving and discharging blood, feeling very wary, and said, 'Have you lost all shame, telling me you can see that much from the images?'

No wonder Zheng Ren didn't let me handle it; if this thing is punctured, it will surely cause big trouble.

So his speech was full of swear words; otherwise, he felt his emotions couldn't erupt and his mood was uncomfortable.

Lao He heard Su Yun swearing and knew something was wrong; he glanced at the extracorporeal circulation machine and saw no problem.

He stood up, went behind Su Yun, and glanced at the operative area.

Lao He exclaimed, 'Damn, what is this thing!' and was even more surprised than Su Yun.

Zheng Ren said, 'I don't know,' having finished dissecting the Big Watermelon's position in the heart, and began to dissect the superior vena cava end.

Su Yun, having calmed down, his body slightly leaning back and holding a large gauze pad, said, 'Lao He, watch the ventilator and extracorporeal circulation machine carefully,' ready to deal with any possible risk.

At 4 minutes and 22 seconds, the entire tumor tissue was removed.

Zheng Ren, however, did not as he usually did, casually throw the 'tumor' tissue with the Hemostatic Forceps into the pathology basin; instead, he held it carefully.

This posture—truly, holding it in the palm of your hand, afraid it would shatter; keeping it in your mouth, afraid it would melt.

"Su Yun, using the pericardium to repair the heart and the superior vein, can you do it?" Zheng Ren carefully placed the "Big Watermelon" into the pathology basin, but didn't cover it with a sterile gauze pad, then turned and stepped down.

"……" Su Yun stared for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"Let the patient's family have a look at this." Zheng Ren said.

"……" Su Yun knew it was definitely wrong, but he didn't continue asking.

"If the surgery can be done, do it; if it can't, don't force it—wait for me to come back." Zheng Ren said.

"I can do it better with the naked eye than you with a microscope." Su Yun scoffed.

Zheng Ren smiled, carefully holding the pathology basin, turned and left.

"Boss, where did you put the microscope!" Su Yun shouted.

"Ask Lao He."

Zheng Ren left; Lao He placed the microscope on Su Yun, smiling: "Yun Ge'er, I still thought you could do it with the naked eye."

"Since the coronary artery bypass graft surgery, I've been using the microscope, more familiar than the boss's work." Su Yun said: "To me, this is just minor surgery."
