Chapter 372 - Passing the Buck? (1/2)

Chapter 372 Passing the Buck?Then Lu Fei became less angry. On the contrary, he was secretly happy. By doing so, he not only pushed the blame for the risky operation, but also gave him a chance to clean up his old enemy.

After all this, he predicted that Zhang Lijun would not tolerate Hua Zi’an this time, but would definitely punish him and root out the traditional Chinese medicine department. In Lu Fei’s view, such a department without any scientific basis should not exist in such a modern hospital.

After Lu Fei left, all the attention in the operating room turned to the pot of traditional Chinese medicine in Hua Zi’an’s hand, wondering if it could do wonders for the patient.

A minute passed; two minutes passed; three minutes… As Hua Zi’an fed the patient all the contents of the pot, the data on the nearby heart monitor began to change— the heart’s beating curve, which was already tending to a straight line, suddenly became stronger and stronger.

Five minutes later, Feng Zixiong’s heart was beating like a normal heart.

Everyone stared, including Hua Zi’an. They couldn’t believe it.

A minute earlier, they had seen Feng Zixiong in a very bad state— he was really on his deathbed and his heart could stop beating at any moment.

But after he drank a pot of black potion, his heart beat more normally than normal. What on earth was he drinking? Was that traditional Chinese medicine or fairy soup?

Fang Yuqi was the first to recover from her shock and asked, “Senior Hua, what kind of medicine was it? How did it do so much for the heart? It was a miracle.”

Hua Zi’an answered, “I don’t have that skill. This is the traditional Chinese medicine cooked by Tang Feng. It is called Pulse-warming and Heart-nourishing Soup. It works like magic. It fits the name.”

“Amazing, it’s amazing. I never thought traditional Chinese medicine could do so much!”

As a surgeon, Fang Yuqi didn’t really believe in traditional Chinese medicine, although she didn’t reject it. The pot of medicine changed her mind completely.

“Doctor Fang, hurry up and have the operation. I don’t know how long this pot of medicinal soup will last. We must save the patient as soon as possible.”

Of course Hua Zi’an wouldn’t leave until the operation was over. Even though Fang Yuqi just said that she was responsible for the operation, how could he let a young man take on so much responsibility? If the operation did not succeed, he intended to take full responsibility.

“Don’t worry, Senior Hua. As far as the patient is concerned, the success rate is more than 90%, even reaching 100%.”

Fang Yuqi was brimming with confidence. She held the scalpel with a flash of heat in her eyes.

In fact, her operation level was not low, but she was junior and suppressed by Lu Fei, so she could only work as an assistant. Today she finally got her chance to show off.

With the cooperation of other medical staff, the operation began in an orderly manner.

Outside the operating room, a rapid sound of footsteps came from the other side of the hallway. Zhang Lijun walked first, Lu Fei next, and a few other hospital principals by his side. They all looked serious, even angry.

“Director, do you smell it? Our modern hospital’s hallway is filled with traditional Chinese medicine. How would other patients see it?”

Lu Fei seized every opportunity to discredit traditional Chinese medicine and Hua Zi’an.

Nalan Wuxia and the others looked back at the sound of voices.

Seeing Lu Fei and the others, Qin Haodong immediately knew what was going on. Not being able to attract much attention now, he whispered in Nalan Wuxia’s ear, “This is the critical time for the operation. These people are here to make trouble. You must stop them.”

Nalan Wuxia understood, waved, and said to the policeman, “Guard the operating room. No one can enter without my command.”

Lu Fei trotted ahead of Zhang Lijun and said to Nalan Wuxia and others, “Make way, everyone. We’re going in!”

Feng Ziying had no regard for the doctor who had run away. If he had not to think of the effect, he would have crushed Lu Fei on the ground and given him a good kick.

“What are you going to do?” He said, with a cold face. “My brother is undergoing surgery. Even if you go in, you’ll have to wait until the surgery is over.”

With the director behind him, Lu Fei became more confident and called out, “Although you are policemen, this is the operating room of our hospital. You have no right to stop us from entering. Get out of the way!”

Nalan Wuxia said, “Doctor Lu, although this is your hospital, there are our policeman lying in it. No one can go in until the operation is over.”

“You…” Lu Fei wanted to be angry, but he held back when he saw the police badge on Nalan Wuxia’s shoulder. Easing his tone, he said, “Officer, you don’t know that those people in there are making fun of the patient’s life. I’ll go in and stop them.”

“You don’t have to worry about that!” Nalan Wuxia responded with a nasty sneer. “I remember Doctor Lu saying just now that whatever happens in there has nothing to do with you, so you needn’t worry.”

“You…” Faced with Nalan Wuxia who was disrespectful to them, Lu Fei had no choice but to turn to Zhang Lijun and the other hospital leaders and said, “See, director, these people don’t agree with us to stop this operation.”

Nor could Zhang Lijun do anything about the police who glared at them. He glanced around and suddenly saw Wang Jianfeng standing with his hands behind his back. They had been in contact before, sort of getting to know each other. He said, “Director Wang, I didn’t expect you were here.”
