Chapter 2184: 2108 Self-Destruct for Love (Alliance Leader's Flower Wine Bonus Chapter 3)

Er...

Huang Liang was stunned for a moment.

Leg numb? What does that mean? With Zheng Lao Ban's youthful vigor, could there be some new trick?

He really played it flashy; countless thoughts surged in Huang Liang's mind.

He,

In an instant,

He turned evil.

The twin sisters looked at each other, what kind of problem is this……

"Boss, do you suspect alkaptonuria?" Su Yun asked.

"Typical blue ears, just now looking at their gait, also a bit strange." Zheng Ren said, "Judging by their age, at this age the numb feeling shouldn't be too severe."

Huang Liang froze.

What black acid in urine? Is it due to body position?

Zheng Lao Ban is young but plays many tricks; he opens his mouth and starts driving, speeding so fast that even an old driver like me can't keep up.

He seems like a passionate person; I hope we can hang out often in the future, Huang Liang thought.

"I'm asking you guys." Su Yun said, looking at the silly twin sisters standing aside.

"Sometimes sitting too long makes us a bit numb." They said in unison.

This telepathic connection is even closer than that of Da Chu and Xiao Chu; likely they are identical twins, hence their speech is so in sync.

"Manager Huang?" Su Yun said.

"Yun Ge'er, you speak." Huang Liang immediately replied.

"Collect a urine sample, just… find any cup." Su Yun said with a laugh.

"…" Huang Liang was speechless.

This playstyle is really unrestrained, but isn't it a bit dirty? Although Huang Liang thought of it in an instant… forget it, better not think about it. Zheng Lao Ban can play however he wants, as long as he's happy.

"Set it aside, we'll talk after we finish eating." Su Yun said, then glanced at Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren nodded.

"Right, don't let anyone touch it, or the sample will be contaminated." Su Yun added.

Although Huang Liang didn't understand, Song Ying, Brother Song, specially called to instruct him to take good care of Zheng Lao Ban.

As long as he doesn't commit murder or arson, let him play however he likes.

Talking about the sample, cultured people speak differently; even if the play is dirty, they can't stand using elegant words.

"Sample," right, I'll call it that from now on.

"Then I'll put the sample in my office; surely no one can contaminate it." Huang Liang said, patting his chest.

"You all go ahead; we'll just eat and chat, no need for anyone to stay here." Zheng Ren said lightly.

Seeing that he wasn't being polite, Huang Liang immediately took the twin sisters and left.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, what's the illness?" Lao He had been curious to the point of bursting.

The graceful, elegant, bewitching, moving twin sisters are actually patients—not something Zheng Lao Ban would enjoy!

After learning the truth, Lao He was overjoyed.

But first we must confirm they are patients.

Their ears are blue; I just heard Yun Ge'er mention something about alkaptonuria—could there be a connection?

I've vaguely heard of this disease before, but I can't recall it.

Lao He especially feared he had misheard, lest his joy be for nothing.

"Alkaptonuria." Zheng Ren said firmly.

"…"

Lao He and Lin Yuan looked bewildered.

Chang Yue didn't care what it was, chatting softly with Xie Yiren.

As for Feng Xu Hui and Liu Xiao Jie, they didn't understand what Zheng Lao Ban was saying. However, Feng Xu Hui had already taken out his phone to search online, seeing if this disease could be treated with interventional methods.

If it can be treated, would it require special consumables?

Regarding this, Feng Xu Hui was very conscientious.

"It's a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of homogentisate oxidase in tyrosine metabolism. Patients' urine contains homogentisic acid, which under alkaline conditions oxidizes and polymerizes into a melanin-like substance when exposed to oxygen, turning the urine black." Zheng Ren said.

"It's a genetic disease; 80% of patients are born from consanguineous marriages." Su Yun said, "Boss, I think the condition isn't serious."

"They usually need surgical treatment; since the condition isn't serious, it's because they're still young."

"Surgery? How is it done?" Lao He continued asking.

"Alkaptonuria generally causes changes in spinal bone quality. These girls have some curvature in their waists; likely it's spinal deformity." Zheng Ren said.

"…" Lao He was speechless.

"If we do an MRI, the lumbar spine sequence is straight, disc signals are generally reduced, with varying degrees of protrusion, mainly at L4-L5 and L5-S1, the intervertebral space is noticeably narrowed, without ligamentum flavum thickening."

"Zheng… Zheng Lao Ban, you take a look—you even did an MRI?" Lao He stammered.

No wonder Yun Ge'er joked before, saying Zheng Lao Ban had X-ray vision and was peeking at widows bathing in Hai Cheng.

Not only X-ray vision, but they can even do an MRI.

But just looking with X-ray vision is fine, it's a bit of fun; what's the use of looking at an MRI?

"That's what the book says." Zheng Ren said lightly, "It's probably like that."

Lao He broke into a sweat, seeing what his sordid thoughts were.

But we mustn't let Zheng Lao Ban know what we're thinking, or we might be silenced.

"Zheng Lao Ban, it is because the homogentisic acid derived from tyrosine breakdown cannot be further broken down into acetoacetic acid, causing excess homogentisic acid to be excreted in urine and oxidized to black in the air." Lin Yuan asked.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded.

Lin Yuan's morale greatly rose.

"Tyrosine, under the catalysis of tyrosine transaminase, produces p-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, which then forms homogentisic acid, and further transforms into acetoacetic acid and fumaric acid, which respectively participate in sugar and fat metabolism."

"Lacking homogentisic acid oxidase, homogentisic acid cannot be oxidized and is excreted in the urine, making the urine black, hence the condition is called alkaptonuria."

"You've really nailed the memorization." Su Yun said disdainfully, "Is it useful?"

"Yes." Lin Yuan said confidently, "Even Teacher He didn't think of that."

Lao He once again became a negative example.

"Anesthesiologist, studying alkaptonuria is utterly useless. Compared to an anesthesiologist on this, you're really promising." Su Yun retorted directly.

"Well..." Lin Yuan was about to say something, but immediately swallowed his words.

At this point, if I bring up Sister Yue as an example, I'll die miserably.

She still had a sense of it in her heart.

"Wait, let's eat first; at least three hours, maybe even longer." Zheng Ren said.

"That's right; normally, patients with alkaptonuria have normal-colored urine when they first void, who would observe the urine for several hours to see a color change?" Su Yun laughed, "Unless the tubes were hooked up wrong."

"……"

"Zheng Lao Ban, what's going on with the ears turning blue?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Pigment deposition, generally occurring in fatty tissue, beneath the endothelium of large blood vessels, heart valves, tendons, as well as the prostate, tonsils, kidneys, etc. On the body surface, it mainly appears in the auricle; blue ears are a typical manifestation of alkaptonuria."

Lin Yuan seriously noted this "knowledge point."

But who knows when it'll be useful next time.

"Zheng Lao Ban, their gait is a bit odd; is it due to a spinal problem?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Hmm, this manifests differently in each person." Zheng Ren said, "Mostly it's pain; perhaps the way those two girls just walked changed is a state of adapting to pain."

The food and drinks arrived quickly; Su Yun looked at Chang Yue and asked, "Little one, still on the ketogenic diet?"

"Certainly." Chang Yue adjusted her glasses and said.

"Boss, take a look." Su Yun, holding a wine bottle, smiled at Zheng Ren and said, "Even the most rational woman turns like this when summer comes."

"Nonsense." Seeing the jasmine flower, Chang Yue's anger flared; she coldly stared at Su Yun and said, "You think you're rational?"

"Oh? Then tell me, where am I not rational?"

"Drinking against me, you're either being reckless or courting death. Forget the time we ate crayfish in Hai Cheng?"

"Beer, that stuff isn't tasty." Su Yun said, "I've heard people say beer is laced with diuretics, weak effect, you pee it out right away, so you can drink more bottles."

"Just a normal sales tactic." Zheng Ren didn't care.

"Boss, your worldview is truly impressive!" Su Yun said disdainfully, "I don't have any friends at a brewery, so I don't know if this is true or false."

"It's none of your business whether it's true or false." Chang Yue's sharp gaze from behind her glasses pierced Su Yun's face like an awl, "Today we're drinking Maotai; you wouldn't say Maotai also has diuretics, would you?"

"There's pl..." Zheng Ren only said two characters, then automatically swallowed the rest.

Too boring.

Su Yun wants to do something, Zheng Ren understands. Since Chang Yue refuses to eat, let's drink first and talk later.

Alcohol is a good thing; drink enough and you won't eat anything.

Looking at Su Yun's posture, it's definitely not just casually having a couple drinks and some peanuts at home. Today he's set up a stance to get Chang Yue drunk, then control what she eats, first breaking her resolve before speaking.

Just...

Su Yun is really going all out; in Zheng Ren's mind appears Chang Yue barefoot, leaving wet footprints on the marble floor of the Hai Cheng emergency hall.

Although Su Yun's method somewhat counts as a method, I have no way to make Chang Yue eat.

If you want to court death, go ahead; it's also a sacrifice for love.

Probably it counts as love, who knows. Zheng Ren couldn't be bothered to think about these things; holding Yi Ren's little hand, that feeling of emptiness and anxiety dissipated like smoke.

Even if we can't find a suitable liver match by type and blood type, even if the Big Pig Trotter doesn't assign a task, I'll do whatever I say.

Give it your all!

Su Yun already said that, in 2008 Australia even patients with mismatched blood types underwent liver transplants and recovered afterward.

Trust your teammates, trust the collective's strength.

Zheng Ren chuckled, watching Su Yun hold an iron-capped Maotai, clink bottles with Chang Yue's, and start drinking directly from the bottle.

Really going all out; if those girls who desperately strive for presence knew that their Yun Ge'er had this fetish, wouldn't they all refuse to even glance at him?

In an instant, each person downed two bottles of Maotai, and Chang Yue visibly became excited.

She tossed the ketogenic diet aside, used chopsticks to pick up a few bites of food, then unscrewed two bottles of Maotai and handed one to Su Yun.

"I'll also have a bite to eat, don't drink so fast." Su Yun said with a smile, "Drink slowly; if you get drunk too quickly, you might not eat anything."
