Chapter 564: Chapter 564

The county hospital, operating room, an important surgery is underway here, with the patient being the county mayor’s mother, performed by the outstanding young doctor Zhu Ming, attracting much attention.

In this county, the county mayor is famous for his filial piety. It is said that he lost his father early and was raised by his mother through hardship, so he is very grateful to her.

A few days ago, his elderly mother suddenly had a stroke and was in critical condition. The mayor was very anxious and specially took leave to wait in the hospital for her surgery.

These days, the county mayor has lost his appetite, worried about his mother’s condition, with only one wish: that the surgery goes smoothly, saving his mother.

Learning that Dr. Zhu Ming would be leading the surgery, the county mayor felt relieved. Zhu Ming has a well-known reputation, holding a Ph.D. in medicine, and it’s from an overseas institution, carrying significant weight.

With Dr. Zhu on board, there shouldn’t be any problems.

The county mayor sat waiting outside the operating room, handling work calls while waiting. As the county mayor, his duties are busy, and if it weren’t for his mother’s surgery, he wouldn’t have been able to leave.

If not for trusting Zhu Ming, the county mayor would probably be too worried to think straight.

Suddenly, while the county mayor was on the phone, he noticed the operating room doors open and a nurse stepped out, with a grave expression on her face.

The county mayor stood up abruptly, disregarding the call, and exclaimed, "What happened?"

The nurse said, "County mayor, please remain calm. During the surgery, an unexpected situation occurred. Your mother suddenly had a spasm. Dr. Zhu is currently performing resuscitation, and you need to be informed of this situation."

The county mayor almost couldn’t hold his phone, shocked, "What? How could this happen?"

The nurse said, "The cause is unclear at the moment. That’s all I can say."

"My mother will be okay, right? After all, it’s Dr. Zhu!" the county mayor anxiously asked.

The nurse said, "I can’t guarantee anything right now, but we will do everything we can to save her."

After speaking, the nurse returned to the operating room and closed the door.

Inside the operating room, Zhu Ming was sweating profusely, scrambling to perform resuscitation on the patient.

For this surgery, Zhu Ming put all his skills to use, intending to make a good impression on the county mayor and gain his favor, as a stepping stone to mingling with powerful figures.

This type of stroke surgery was not Zhu Ming’s first; he was quite experienced and confident, thinking the surgery was foolproof.

Zhu Ming was full of confidence in himself, although he failed earlier while trying to save Shengfu Sword, considering it an accident rather than a reflection of his inadequate skills as Lin Fan claimed.

Zhu Ming envisioned himself as a highly skilled doctor with a high reputation, attracting many dignitaries and wealthy individuals for treatment, joining the upper social circles, and becoming a celebrated figure.

Due to his background, Zhu Ming valued fame and fortune greatly. Growing up in an ordinary family, he always aspired to enter high society, striving desperately to get closer to it.

Becoming an excellent doctor granted him this opportunity.

Earlier today, encountering Shengfu Sword by chance presented him an opportunity. Unfortunately, he failed to save Shengfu Sword, missing a great chance to associate with the Sheng family.

Now he had another chance to please the county mayor, which he was determined not to miss.

Initially, the surgery went smoothly, and Zhu Ming couldn’t help but show a bright smile, thinking that after the surgery was successful, he would earn the county mayor’s appreciation, and through this successful surgery, increase his reputation, entering high society, was just a matter of time!

However, an unforeseen complication occurred.

The patient suddenly had convulsions of unknown reason.

This situation left Zhu Ming bewildered, unsure of what to do for a moment, as he didn’t know what had happened, since such a situation had never occurred before.

Zhu Ming could only perform rescue attempts using conventional methods, but the patient’s condition did not improve; instead, it kept deteriorating.

The operating room was in chaos.

Behind a piece of glass, in the observation room, the hospital director and a group of doctors watched the surgery, equally frightened by this sudden situation. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Wasn’t the surgery going smoothly; what went wrong?"

"She’s the county mayor’s mother. Whatever the case, nothing must happen to her!"

"Dr. Zhu seems helpless; what should be done now?"

Everyone turned to the director.

The director was drenched in cold sweat. Before the surgery, he had boasted to the county mayor that with Dr. Zhu leading and a team of experts on standby, the mayor’s mother would certainly be fine.

In this situation, they had to prepare for the worst; the surgery might fail! The county mayor’s mother might die!

If indeed the worst happened, how would he face the county mayor?

And it’s not just a matter of explaining to the county mayor; the surgery has garnered much attention. If it fails, it would negatively impact the hospital’s reputation.

Amidst everyone’s anxious struggle.

In the Sheng family’s large house.

Lin Fan stood in front of Shengfu Sword, holding a silver needle, administering acupuncture.

He had explained the condition to Shengfu Sword, highlighting how, as a soldier in his youth, accompanying a general in battles, and being hit by a stray bullet, he had developed a chronic condition.

Now, in old age, the chronic condition had relapsed, causing Shengfu Sword’s health to decline rapidly, potentially triggering sudden critical illness and death.

Lin Fan used top-level acupuncture, the Yin Yang Eighteen Needles, to help Shengfu Sword regulate his body.

After a session of acupuncture, Shengfu Sword felt his body relaxed and refreshed, contrasting starkly from a frail person to one brimming with vitality.

Shengfu Sword felt rejuvenated.

Beside him, Sheng Wanqing said, "Grandpa, you seem completely different, as if much younger."

Shengfu Sword stood up, flexing his limbs, and laughed, "You’re correct, Grandpa feels youthful again. I could still carry a rifle and fight in a battle against the Little Devils!"

Sheng Wanqing marveled, "Divine Doctor Lin’s acupuncture is truly miraculous."

Shengfu Sword laughed heartily, "Divine Doctor Lin indeed is a divine doctor. My worn-out old body has rejuvenated so much, I can hardly believe it myself!"

Upon entering old age, his chronic condition had reemerged, plaguing him with pain and suffering.

He sought medical help everywhere, saw countless doctors, and took numerous medications. Any reputed doctor was consulted, with considerable expenses, yet the illness persisted, worsening with age.

Now, in the medical and martial arts community, many charlatans and fake masters had infiltrated, lacking true medical skills, solely chasing fame and fortune, masquerading as masters to deceive. When someone comes seeking treatment, they pretend, charging exorbitant fees, feigning treatment while genuinely making money.

As long as one’s reputation is big enough, fools will always come bringing money, just like a so-called Master Wang, whom many wealthy individuals and celebrities flock to, yet he is merely a deceptive fraud.

Frauds dominate, deceit runs rampant, and encountering someone with genuine skill and knowledge becomes rare and precious.
