Chapter 849: 836 Really No Problem

~6 min read 1,173 words

"What mission?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Boss, you're going too far." Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, "If you don't answer the mission call, you'll be punished."

Zheng Ren stared for a moment, took out his phone, and saw an unfamiliar number.

The time... happened to be when he was on the roller coaster.

This thing got messed up.

Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's bad complexion, thought he was scared, and comforted him: "It's fine, there are organizational procedures, just scaring you for fun, you actually believed it."

"No." Zheng Ren shook his head, "I accompanied Yi Ren to Happy Valley for a roller coaster this afternoon."

Su Yun stared at Zheng Ren, then burst out laughing after a few seconds.

Zheng Ren felt helpless, "Well, it's just a joke, doesn't matter."

"Boss, you really made it, didn't you cry from fright?" Su Yun gloated.

"Almost, if Yi Ren hadn't been by my side, I probably would have vomited." Zheng Ren's stomach still felt very uncomfortable, he said helplessly.

"Let's go, they said to go to the Ultrasound Room." Su Yun stood up and said.

"Director Qi is in the Ultrasound Room, what do we two need to do?" Zheng Ren wondered.

"Imaging specialty, collective decision-making, to avoid one person's subjective or objective mistake leading to serious consequences." Su Yun explained to Zheng Ren.

Zheng Ren nodded and followed Su Yun to the Ultrasound Room.

Work was over, the hallway finally quieted down, not as noisy as daytime.

"Boss, why did you decide to go on a roller coaster?" Su Yun walked and said, "I've ridden it once; at the time I felt my coronary artery constrict severely, myocardial ischemia, already feeling pain. After that, I never ride it again."

He didn't deliberately hide his embarrassment, but his tone carried too much gloating.

Zheng Ren felt that Su Yun's black hair in front of her forehead had bloomed into a small flower, pink and tender.

"Who knows? We walked and walked, ended up at Happy Valley, queued for an hour, got off and felt like vomiting, still uncomfortable now." Zheng Ren said, head down, discouraged.

Since Su Yun met Zheng Ren, she had never seen him so low-spirited.

Whether it was an all-night surgery or encountering aftershocks in the ruins, Zheng Ren always gave people a sense of safety and reliability.

But now, splash some water on him and he turns into a drowned chicken.

"Have a drink tonight, tomorrow when you wake up, everything will be over." Su Yun comforted.

"Have a drink tonight, tomorrow nothing will get better." Zheng Ren said listlessly, "By the way, what's the deal with this mission?"

"How would I know?" Su Yun said, "If it weren't for following you into the Health Care Group, I wouldn't be qualified to carry out missions. My Title: Teacher has executed two missions before, but they're externally confidential, can't say."

Zheng Ren followed Su Yun, head down and discouraged, all the way to Ultrasound Room 11.

This is Director Qi's exclusive consultation room, the door ajar.

Su Yun stepped forward and knocked; hearing Director Qi's voice inside, she pushed the door open.

"You've come." Director Qi said in a low voice, not surprised.

He was a bit tense; although Zheng Ren lacked energy, from his understanding of Director Qi he could sense it.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren said, "Director Qi, I'll sit and rest a bit, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable."

"Sit anywhere, don't be so formal." Director Qi laughed, "You just joined the Health Care Group; such urgent tasks can sometimes be troublesome. Rest first, recharge."

As he spoke, Director Qi glanced at the time.

"It should be soon."

"Anything to watch out for?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Stay alert, just speak less. For uncertain things, don't speak casually; this differs from the hospital-wide consultation." Director Qi earnestly instructed, "Also, when communicating with ordinary patients, pay attention to what you should, and do so. Don't be too tense; you'll get used to it."

Zheng Ren muttered inwardly, "Yeah right, you old folks are the ones who are tense."

As they chatted, someone knocked on the office door and then pushed it open.

Only two people came in, not the grand scene Zheng Ren imagined. The first to enter was a man in his thirties, handsome yet steady, apparently a secretary.

Following him was an elderly man in his sixties, white-haired, spirited, his aura exuding an imposing presence.

"Director Qi, greetings." The secretary entered, closed the door, and politely said, "The Leader feels discomfort in the upper right abdomen; let's do a check."

"Alright." Director Qi had already stood at attention, "Where does the Leader feel uncomfortable?"

"This afternoon the liver area suddenly hurt; please have a look." The old man said calmly.

Zheng Ren stared for a moment.

In the old man's System Panel, a faint green showed only a few mild age-related ailments, nothing else.

As for abdominal pain, there was no sign of liver issues on the diagnosis; neither hepatitis nor acute or chronic cholecystitis showed up.

What's going on? Could the Big Pig Trotter have crashed again?

Impossible! Zheng Ren immediately dismissed that thought.

When performing missions in the south, the System Panel's diagnoses were always clear; it wouldn't just crash upon arriving in Di Du.

There must be a problem.

Zheng Ren cautiously stood behind Director Qi, slightly offset, watching the old man lie on the examination bed as Director Qi sat down and began the ultrasound.

"A bit cold, be careful." Director Qi said, holding the bottle of coupling agent.

"It's fine." The old man said lightly.

That aura of quiet authority, both Zheng Ren and Su Yun could feel.

The coupling agent was applied, and the ultrasound probe was placed on the old man's upper right abdomen.

"Is this the painful spot?" Director Qi asked.

"No, a bit more to the left."

"A bit lower."

"Yes, that's the spot."

The image displayed on the ultrasound machine was completely normal, with no pathological physiological changes at all.

Not to mention occupying space, bleeding, or bile duct blockage; even fatty liver was absent.

Director Qi was stunned for a moment, then immediately began a more careful examination.

Performing an ultrasound, with Director Qi's skill, a single sweep would give a rough idea of any disease; but this time he exercised extreme caution, examining almost millimeter by millimeter.

Liver parenchyma, arterial and venous blood vessels, bile ducts—each frame of the image was scrutinized carefully; Zheng Ren knew that in Director Qi's mind, countless decades of experience were surely being compared against the condition.

Director Qi examined carefully and seriously; Zheng Ren and Su Yun were also watching from behind.

Unconsciously, Zheng Ren was about to rest his chin on his hand and think.

As soon as he lifted his arm, Su Yun tapped him from behind, reminding Zheng Ren that this was not a time for reading films.

Zheng Ren immediately realized, standing honestly and properly behind Director Qi, watching the ultrasound image.

But, there really wasn't any problem.
