Chapter 2720: 2622.2522 Missed a hundred million

2622.2522 Missed a hundred million

Lin Yuan drove the little POLO home, still pondering what Zheng Lao Ban had just said. Vaguely, she realized she seemed to have missed a hundred million, but she couldn't say exactly where that hundred million was buried.

Opening the door, Lin Yuan kicked off her shoes and shouted loudly: 'Dad, Mom, I'm back!'

'You two are wilder than each other, what time is it now, nobody's home.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner muttered while walking out from the kitchen, 'I'll bring out the food for you.'

'Mom, did Dad go out again for social engagements?' Lin Yuan asked.

'They said an old academician from the Academy of Sciences had a problem with his pacemaker, and he's busy rescuing him.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner said, 'Hurry up and wash your hands, then eat after washing.'

'Mom, I see you made something delicious for me.'

'The cured meat mailed from the hometown, made into cured meat and mushroom hotpot rice and vegetable soup.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner began serving Lin Yuan rice.

'I haven't eaten hometown cured meat in a long time; when I was in the United States I really missed it.' Lin Yuan meowed.

Hearing Lin Yuan's well‑behaved talk, Lin Yuanzhang's partner felt much of her anger ease; she sighed and said, 'You two, neither of you is low‑maintenance. What time is it now, and you're still not home one after another.'

'I'm quite low‑maintenance—I don't go out to bars, I don't hit nightclubs, I'm a good girl.' Lin Yuan washed her hands and said with a hehe laugh.

While speaking, she sat at the table, picked up her rice bowl and started eating.

'So fragrant!'

'Eat slowly, drink some vegetable soup, don't choke.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner said kindly.

Only at this moment does the house feel like a home.

'Mom, when did Dad start the rescue?' Lin Yuan asked.

'It started at noon; when I got off work he called me, saying he was busy and wouldn't come back for dinner tonight.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner complained, 'The old one doesn't come back, and the young one doesn't either.'

'Mom, I'm not coming back?' Lin Yuan meowed, 'Dad's the one with no proper job—just a pacemaker needs rescuing… Huh? Wrong, why rescue? It's just a pacemaker; once it's in, it's done.'

'How would I know why? Academician Chang is probably just getting old and becoming careless.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner said.

'No, it's just a pacemaker; there must be something else.' Lin Yuan said while starting to ponder the pacemaker's complications.

'Hurry up and eat.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner scolded, 'Coming back so late and still not eating properly. After eating, watch a bit of TV, then hurry to rest—you're growing up without any childlike manners day by day.'

'Oh oh, got it, Mom.' Lin Yuan laughed, thinking, 'If Zheng Lao Ban were here, he'd surely know right away what happened.'

As soon as she thought of Zheng Lao Ban, a flash of inspiration struck her mind—just now Zheng Lao Ban seemed to want to ask her whether she was interested……

Treating cancer, interested or not—how could one not be interested!

Zheng Lao Ban's ties with Europe are very close; from what he and Yun Ge'er said, Xiao Shitou should soon be sent to Europe for examination.

I go…… this damn thing isn't just a hundred million—it's practically losing the whole future.

Lin Yuan, upon recalling what Su Yun had said when reminding her, felt inexplicably disheartened.

'Girl, what are you thinking about?' Seeing Lin Yuan suddenly become downcast, Lin Yuanzhang's partner felt a bit worried, wondering if she had spoken too harshly.

'Mom, I have something I want to discuss with Dad.' Lin Yuan said, 'Um… I want to go find him right away.'

'What matter can't wait until tomorrow.'

'Sigh, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.' Seeing her mother holding a rice spatula, Lin Yuan knew that if she left without finishing her meal she'd definitely get a beating. She hurriedly grabbed the rice, trying to eat faster.

'Slowly, slowly, don't choke. At your age, you don't even chew your food.' Lin Yuanzhang's partner nagged.

'Mom, I'm finished!' Lin Yuan ate the cured‑meat mushroom hotpot rice clean, drank the bowl of vegetable soup until it was completely dry, not a drop left, then immediately stood up and said.

'I'll go find Dad; if he doesn't come back, I'll drag him back, Mother, please rest assured.' Lin Yuan spoke incoherently, put on her shoes, opened the door and walked out.

'Drive slowly.'

'I know, I know!' Lin Yuan hurriedly went to Di Du Tumor Hospital to discuss the related issue with her father.

She still couldn't figure out why her father, clearly the director of the Tumor Hospital, would be rescuing over a pacemaker matter.

But in the hospital nothing strange has ever failed to happen—like today's child who got scalded then suffered alcohol poisoning; normally who would think it was alcohol poisoning?

Driving the little POLO, she made haste to Di Du Tumor Hospital; Lin Yuan parked the car before calling her father.

'Dad, busy?'

'I know you're busy; I have a big matter and want to seek your opinion.'

'No, no, this is really a serious matter! If you hang up I'll get angry with you!' Lin Yuan said in a cute‑angry tone.

'If you don't understand, you can go find Zheng Lao Ban; don't drag it out too long or something will happen. Wait a moment, I'll come find you.'

……

……

In the interventional surgery room, Lin Yuanzhang hung up the phone.

His tense spirit eased slightly; he leaned against the corridor wall, feeling a bit of coolness.

The Tumor Hospital is a specialty hospital; normally it wouldn't accept cardiac patients. But a few months ago there happened to be a good opportunity: Liang Zhuoren, director of the cardiology department at the nation's top cardiac specialty hospital, retired, and Lin Yuanzhang rehired him to come to Di Du Tumor Hospital.

First, to raise the medical level and oversee surgical patients. Second, although Liang Zhuoren had many offers for rehire after retirement, he didn't want to go to a private hospital, nor leave Di Du.

All things considered, Di Du Tumor Hospital's standing in the jianghu is high enough—carrying the bridal sedan, people lift people; someday he too will have a retirement.

Lin Yuanzhang considered everything thoroughly; this is also an unwritten rule.

But because Liang Zhuoren arrived, today became busy.

Three years ago Liang Zhuoren implanted a pacemaker in Academician Chang; the old man recovered well, and his yearly checkups showed no problems.

But Academician Chang has recently had recurring palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue for two weeks; today he came to see Liang Zhuoren for treatment. As soon as the examination began, Academician Chang suffered a cardiac arrest.

The person couldn't be saved; let's resuscitate on the spot.

After restoring the heartbeat, examination began; the chest X‑ray showed a localized wear‑and‑tear fracture of the patient's atrial lead beneath the left clavicle.

Lin Yuanzhang directed the resuscitation, then began seeking cardiology experts throughout Di Du for consultation to discuss a solution.
