Chapter 1687: 1630 The Missing Little Fellow

~7 min read 1,383 words

Li Zhaosen stared blankly at that paper, Zhou Chun Yong wore an expression of helplessness and entanglement.

"Boss, wait a moment!" Su Yun was about to run when Zhou Chun Yong had a brainwave and grabbed Su Yun.

"Doctor Su, the foreign professors and the department heads I know have all arrived. The cadavers for the anatomy professor also……" Zhou Chun Yong hurriedly explained.

"Let go!" Su Yun raised an eyebrow, Zhou Chun Yong could feel the urgency in Su Yun's heart, the urgency to perform surgery immediately.

"The students also got the news; now the Second Teaching Building is packed with people." Zhou Chun Yong helplessly brought out his last trump card.

"……" Zheng Renhe and Su Yun were both speechless.

"Su Yun, you stay and give the lecture." Zheng Ren thought for a moment, then immediately arranged it.

"Ugh……" Su Yun was especially helpless, really hating it when lectures and surgeries clash.

Last time I did the surgery and Zheng Ren gave the lecture; this time it just happened to be the reverse.

Domestically, encountering a gunshot wound is already rare; this kind of surgery is even rarer than thymus surgery!

But over there there could be thousands of students waiting for the lecture……

We can ignore the feelings of the foreign professors and Zhou Chun Yong; after all, they're adults, and there are countless means and opportunities to satisfy them.

However, just thinking about those students makes Su Yun feel a headache.

Don't let this matter blow up.

If it really blows up, nobody can contain it.

Forget it, he finally waved his hand in dejection, pouring all his resentment onto Zhou Chun Yong.

……

……

Zheng Ren ran out the door; just now Vice President Yuan said that after the wounded returned to the country, diagnosis and treatment were conducted at the affiliated hospital of Capital Medical University.

The Medical University Affiliated Hospital is also a nationally renowned large tertiary hospital, with extremely strong comprehensive strength, capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with 912 Hospital.

Vice President Yuan didn't give specifics, only telling Zheng Ren to hurry to the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

A notification sounded from his phone's WeChat; Zheng Ren pulled out his phone and saw that Director Ye had sent him a WeChat message, the consultation location being the Cardiothoracic Surgery department of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.

He casually replied to the WeChat, telling Director Ye that he understood.

Uh……

Just……

After seeing the patient in the Cardiothoracic Surgery department, Zheng Ren could already imagine Su Yun's anger afterward.

This matter left Zheng Ren especially helpless. If it were in another ward, Su Yun would probably be able to accept it. Cardiothoracic Surgery……

Things have come to this point; such cross-hospital consultations are not common, but once they occur, they indicate the condition is extremely severe and extremely complex.

We can't delay; time is life!

Zheng Ren hailed a car, after getting in he took a few breaths before beginning to recall the meaning behind Vice President Yuan's words.

Gunshot wound; the Medical University Affiliated Hospital wants to consult 912 Hospital, the gunshot wound is eight days old—what situation is this?

Is it a large-area burst wound on the back that can't heal? If that were the case, even I couldn't treat it.

Almost everyone knows that bullets have great inertia; the front has only a single entry hole, but when penetrating the body, the back can easily present a bowl-sized wound surface.

But this possibility is really small, because they said they couldn't find the bullet. Based on Vice President Yuan's simple description, it should be that the bullet entered the body.

What's so hard to find about that?

"Ding-dong~"

The system quest notification sounded.

【Emergency Quest—The Hidden Little Fellow.

Quest Content—Locate the free-floating bullet inside the body.

Quest Reward—20000 Experience Points, 1000 Skill Points, Luck Value +2.

【Quest Time—24 hours.】

This quest, judging by its tone, doesn't seem to be an emergency. But for a gunshot wound, the Medical University Affiliated Hospital seeking 912 Hospital for an external consultation is a kind of backing down.

I don't know how big the opinion is at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital side; if the condition weren't urgent, nobody would be willing to back down.

Thinking back and forth, the things one can think of are contradictory.

But Zheng Ren now prefers to believe in the Big Pig Trotter.

Coincidentally, I'm in the car; although the distance is short, just a few minutes, I should still first go to the System Space to have a look.

Zheng Ren closed his eyes to feign sleep, entered the System Space, selected to purchase surgery, and entered the System Operating Room.

An experimental subject lay on the operating table, appearing quite young, around 26 or 7 years old.

There is a wound about one-third of the way along the inner side of the right clavicle, already sutured, which should be the bullet's entry point.

Below the sternum there is an incision, a standard surgical cut sutured with sternal wire; this might be the incision made by the doctors when they were searching for the bullet.

Zheng Ren turned the experimental subject over; the back did not have the bowl-sized wound he had guessed.

It's a bit hard to comprehend; Zheng Ren realizes he guessed wrong. It's possible it wasn't a high-powered bullet but something like shot.

Funny how the quest name 'Hidden Little Fellow' refers to the Big Pig Trotter; such lead bullets are the hardest to find.

Sometimes they simply can't be found; even if you chop the person to pieces, if they're not there, you still won't find them.

Back then Zheng Ren had a senior fellow apprentice who, after graduating, went to support the frontier. There they saw such wounds every day; he endured for two years, but couldn't take it anymore, so he quit and ran back.

Zheng Ren glanced at the experimental subject's vital signs; they were very stable, showing no signs of an emergency rescue.

I estimate it's because the Medical University Affiliated Hospital couldn't find the bullet no matter what, so they got frustrated and called in 912 Hospital to have a look.

After all, following that previous 'marriage alliance', 912 Hospital can be considered half of the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. Anyway, it's embarrassing to lose face; better to lose it at 912's place than at someone else's.

Zheng Ren let out a breath, feeling this case was somewhat tricky.

Experiment subject showed absolutely no signs needing Shou Bing; rashly opened to look for the bullet, like the incision below the chest Bone at Medical University Affiliated Hospital, in the end seeing nothing and turning into an idiot.

Let's first look at the slides, Zheng Ren picked up the experimental specimen's slide, glanced at it, and began the reconstruction.

After the reconstruction was complete, he finished this Shou Bing.

Although he had completed three large missions in a row in Nanyang, his wealth was considerable, but Zheng Ren was still stingy and unwilling to waste.

Sitting before the System Space Pond, seeing the Little White Fox with a mocking smile, Zheng Ren began to search for the bullet's position.

The chest X-ray flat film showed that the bullet was located in the shadow beneath the heart. The data indicated that the cardiac color ultrasound reported no abnormality within the heart.

But the Medical University Affiliated Hospital opened the sternum, yet did not find the bullet.

There was also a CT slide, strangely it did not show the bullet's position, and Zheng Ren began to ponder.

Such cases are extremely difficult. It's not that the Shou Bing is hard...... the Shou Bing is of course also hard, but the hardest part is determining the bullet's position.

The bullet was in the shadow beneath the heart, yet there was no hemothorax, no massive injury, and the CT showed no shadow.

Very strange, contrary to common sense.

No matter what, this is a kind of Challenge.

Where exactly is that little guy?

Zheng Ren pressed his lips, began the reconstruction.

But just as he was frame by frame searching for the possible position of the 'little guy', Zheng Ren heard the driver call him, saying they had already arrived at the Medical University Affiliated Hospital.
