Chapter 1888: with translation of chapter title

~7 min read 1,208 words

Boss, are you confident about the Shou Bing? Su Yun asked.

"It's difficult." Zheng Ren frowned, spoke in a low voice: "Last time I did an ascending aortic valve transplant Shou Bing plus a coronary artery bypass graft surgery. This time it ruptured again, the three brachiocephalic artery openings on the aortic arch are all torn, not easy to do."

"Knowing it's not easy, don't explain the condition, just say whether you can do it." Su Yun was somewhat dissatisfied with Zheng Ren explaining the images to himself, nagging.

"If I do it alone, 50% confidence; plus you 70%; with Yi Ren also coming, 90%; plus Lao He, roughly the same." Zheng Ren said while doing arithmetic problems.

"Then it's good." Su Yun felt relieved.

The scope of this Shou Bing is quite large; plus, the handling of the anastomosis between the ascending aorta and the aortic arch from the first Shou Bing is a major difficulty.

Su Yun thought a 70% chance of completing the Shou Bing would already be good; unexpectedly, the Boss said that with the whole team, it's nearly 100% possible.

This guy really has confidence.

"Have you notified Yi Ren and Lao He?" Zheng Ren asked.

"The phone signal here doesn't work, need a satellite phone. Once we go out..." He said, Su Yun paused, "Why not have King's Hospital officially invite? Or directly contact the Science and Education Department?"

Zheng Ren thought a bit, nodded: "Okay, but don't waste too much time."

"After going out, I'll first tell everyone, we can set off first, and handle the procedures on this side." Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren knew this was just a matter of giving Lin Ge some face, considered his "outstanding" contribution to the Science and Education Department.

Just as Su Yun said, we can definitely set off first without delaying the Shou Bing. As for Lin Ge's side, however he wants to make a big show, let him do so.

This way, both sides benefit, most importantly it doesn't delay things.

These administrative tasks can be left to Su Yun, Zheng Ren thought to himself; he considers things almost flawlessly, so he doesn't need to worry.

In the System Operating Room, Zheng Ren spent a lot of Surgical Training Time, finally raising the Shou Bing completion degree to nearly 90%.

But no matter what, it cannot be increased further.

Zheng Ren knew this was because the System Operating Room lacked assistants, instrument nurses, and anesthetists.

Therefore, to further increase the Shou Bing completion degree, it's necessary to bring the whole team along.

For now, he's still mentally simulating the Shou Bing a few more times, hoping to improve proficiency.

Zheng Ren stood before the LED screen like a sculptor, mentally outlining the Shou Bing process.

Where the difficulties lie, what should be done, what complications might arise, how he should remind Su Yun or Lao He to help increase the completion degree, he goes through them bit by bit.

After 15′23″, Doctor Rudy rushed back.

His expression showed no excitement, but rather a hint of hesitation and difficulty.

"Doctor Zheng, we can go." Doctor Rudy said.

"Why that expression? Did something happen?" Su Yun asked.

"Lord Luo said..."

"What did he say?"

"He seems to have said that after handling some matters these days, he wants to come find you." Doctor Rudy said.

That statement is as absurd as a Danish fairy tale.

It's said that Lord Luo hasn't stepped out of this castle even half a step since computers first entered people's view.

This time, he isn't asking Doctor Zheng to come to the castle to see him; instead, he wants to go find Doctor Zheng.

The difference between the two is as vast as heaven and earth.

Doctor Rudy really can't think of who in the world could make Lord Luo step out of this castle.

"Oh, he didn't say what he wants from me?" Zheng Ren asked casually, not caring.

Doctor Rudy seemed a bit puzzled; it looks like he also doesn't know why Lord Luo wants to go to Lun Dun to find Doctor Zheng.

But these aren't important; when Doctor Rudy saw his wife's imaging data again, noticing tears in the three brachiocephalic arteries on the aortic arch, he immediately began arranging to leave the ancient castle.

Except for the pure-blood family members who have vanished, the other attendants and servants are still present. Everything in the ancient castle remains as usual.

Someone brought Doctor Rudy out of the ancient castle; a well-maintained vintage car was parked at the castle gate.

This is a 1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.

The Silver Shadow is Rolls-Royce's first modern-styled sedan.

And before the Silver Shadow era, all sedans still retained the broad-shouldered, wide-waisted, sloping-back retro look from old movies.

In the mist enveloping the ancient castle, this old car exuded a mysterious and steady aura, waiting for Zheng Ren.

"Boss, this is luxury." Su Yun gazed at the Silver Shadow, not getting in directly; under Doctor Rudy's anxious, urging gaze, she lightly rested her fingers on the car's body, feeling that aura.

"Oh? What car?" Zheng Ren didn't understand cars, having no interest at all.

Even coming into contact with related fragmentary knowledge felt like a waste of time.

"Rolls-Royce, Silver Shadow from the 70s. It's maintained very well, like a new car. Do you know how much one costs?"

"Not everything should be measured by money."

"Measuring by money is just simpler." Su Yun said, "Why did Qin Shi Huang unify weights and measures? Here it becomes unimportant to you."

"What you say also makes sense." Zheng Ren walked to the car; a black-clad attendant bowed and opened the door, and he got straight in.

"Really doesn't know how to write the two characters 'elegant'." Su Yun said disdainfully.

"Elegance doesn't increase Shou Bing Skill either." Zheng Ren said contemptuously.

The vehicle started almost silently, very steady; even those inside hardly noticed.

"This car is also called the Phantom, with very low noise, truly a work of art." Su Yun praised, "It's probably purely handmade, not for sale. Just the maintenance costs at least 2 million euros per year."

"Maintaining such a thing is completely meaningless; I think a Volvo XC60 would be better." Zheng Ren slowly closed his eyes, preparing to mentally simulate the Shou Bing a few more times.

The Silver Shadow drove away from the ancient castle; after a few kilometers, the car's body shuddered.

"Huh?" Su Yun exclaimed, "Something that makes the so-called Phantom shudder... could it be an earthquake?"

He turned his head to look.

The ancient castle was shrouded in smoke and mist, yet at this moment countless bats flew out.

The distance was relatively far, the bats were just tiny black dots. But around the Gu castle there seemed to be an invisible protective layer; the little bats struggled desperately, yet they simply could not fly out of the Gu castle's range.

Soon, the black little bats that approached the invisible protection fell down like rain.

Even though the distance was great, it still looked shocking to the eye.

Fan Tian Shui and the old squad leader wore solemn expressions, even showing a bit of Tension, having already entered a combat-ready state.
