Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 613 - Chapter 613 Chapter 613 No this is against the rules

Chapter 613: Chapter 613: No, this is against the rules Chapter 613: Chapter 613: No, this is against the rules Qiao Yun grasped Li Hanzhou’s hand, her voice unconsciously firm, yet calm to the point of being uncharacteristic.

“How is it going?”

Li Hanzhou knew better than anyone that Qiao Yun was scared.

It was just that she was always so strong, so for a moment, she couldn’t express her true feelings.

The dean sighed, “The situation isn’t very good.”

That was an understatement.

The issue was no longer about how good or bad things were, but whether the patient could survive at all.

He too was a renowned surgeon, but this time, Qiao Xun’s injuries were so severe that even he wasn’t sure.

Qiao Yun looked at the emergency room door, feeling a rare sense of helplessness.

As a researcher, she couldn’t provide much medical help.

Moreover, the Newborn plan couldn’t be implemented under current conditions, and she didn’t know how to save her uncle.

Suddenly, Qiao Yun’s expression froze.

No, there was a way!

There was still that thing!

Qiao Yun muttered, “I need the drug.”

Upon hearing Qiao Yun’s words, Li Hanzhou then remembered the drug developed through Lu Zhanxing’s blood research, which could enhance the vitality of human cells.

Although it couldn’t bring the dead back to life, it could enhance the patient’s vitality.

Just as hope kindled in Qiao Yun, her expression became strained. She didn’t have the drug on her; the only dose was with Li Hanzhou.

As she was thinking this, Li Hanzhou felt around in his pocket and pulled out a vial of the drug.

“I have it.”

Qiao Yun’s eyes lit up with surprise as she looked at him, seemingly asking, where did you get it?

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved in a smile as he explained, “Just in case, I’ve always carried it with me.”

He had thought that the drug might come in handy in case he or Qiao Xun suffered an injury that could benefit from it.

He never imagined it would actually come in handy.

Qiao Yun nodded in gratitude to Li Hanzhou, took the drug, and handed it to the dean, “Use this.”

“No, this does not follow the rules,” the dean, unaware of Qiao Yun’s status, decisively rejected the suggestion.

Even though Qiao Xun’s life was in danger, he dared not use an unverified product; there was no telling what might happen, and he could not bear the responsibility.

He spoke solemnly, “I know you are worried about Dr. Qiao, but we can’t let concern cloud our judgment.”

“It works,” Qiao Yun stated firmly. She wasn’t good at explaining, and explanations would take too long. There was no time to waste.

She was about to blow her cover to the dean, but Pei Yao, who had returned earlier after spending time with Lu Zhanxing in sorrow, spoke up directly, “Just use it if you’re told to. What’s with all the nonsense?”

“But Director Pei, how can we use something of unknown origin?” the dean insisted, “I am a doctor; I must be responsible for my patients.”

Plus, it was Dr. Qiao who was lying inside; if something went wrong on his watch, how would he continue his career?

Pei Yao said impatiently, “I’ll take responsibility if anything happens. Saving lives is the priority right now, stop dithering.”

Seeing Pei Yao insist, and considering his relationship with the Qiaose Research Institute, the dean couldn’t help but wonder if the drug was developed by the Qiaose Research Institute?

He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright then.”

It was a desperate measure for a desperate situation.

As the dean went back into the OR, Qiao Yun fixed her gaze unwaveringly on the operating room door.

Li Hanzhou said nothing, quietly accompanying her.

In the emergency room, the surgery was ongoing and tense.

The dean, seeing the unfavorable data on the monitor, looked even older.

Not just he, but all the experts participating in the surgery thought Qiao Xun was in grave danger.

After much hesitation, the dean still injected Qiao Xun with the drug.

Since Director Pei actually spoke up, that must mean the drug was fine. As for whether it could save Qiao Xun’s life, that was left to fate.

The surgery lasted for several hours.

Once the bullet was extracted, the dean, observing the gradually stabilizing vital signs, was completely astonished.

Are these readings somewhat abnormal?

If Qiao Xun had only a ten percent chance of survival earlier, now it seemed to be fifty percent.

What exactly is this substance?

Regardless of what it was, the dean went out with a face full of joy to inform Qiao Yun and the others.

“The surgery was extremely successful.”

“Really!?” Pei Yao almost jumped out of his chair, his face visibly thrilled.

The dean was even more excited than he was, “Yes, now we just wait for the patient to wake up.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun’s tense spine slowly relaxed, and her legs felt somewhat light.

She understood that this emotion was called happiness.

She was very happy now.

Her little uncle hadn’t gotten into trouble because of her; he was going to be perfectly fine.

Qiao Yun’s lips curved slightly, unable to suppress a smile.

Li Hanzhou was somewhat stunned by her expression.

Inappropriately, he thought, “Kid, when you smile, you look really nice. It would be good if you could smile more often.”

The dean covertly asked, “Director Pei, may I inquire who developed this drug?”

His heart was incredibly excited, so much so that he felt like running eight hundred miles straight.

If this drug were to hit the market, it would definitely cause a worldwide sensation.

This invention was too great! He really wanted to know who had developed it.

The dean was thinking too much. Although the drug was very useful, Qiao Yun wouldn’t study it at all. If it were truly researched, who knows how much blood Lu Zhanxing would have to give. It might take all his blood to produce just a few doses.

Naturally, Qiao Yun wouldn’t bear to have her own brother make such a selfless sacrifice.

Pei Yao smiled faintly, “You don’t need to worry about who developed it. You are not to speak of today’s events, understand?”

He certainly did not want any strange organizations to emerge and kidnap Professor Qiao.

Pei Yao understood all too well the saying, “To possess a treasure is to invite trouble.”

Although he was smiling, the dean found his smile somewhat terrifying and did not dare to inquire further, quickly nodding, “Rest assured, I will not speak of it at all.”

Pei Yao also instructed, “The fact that Dr. Qiao was injured must not be disclosed.”

If this became a big issue, it would be a huge hassle.

If Grandpa Qiao Se learned of this, being of such an advanced age, he might not be able to handle it.

And it would also be difficult to explain to her sister’s family.

Although the dean did not understand, he knew that some things were not meant for his curiosity and replied without hesitation, “I understand; I’ll make sure they know.”

Pei Yao said, “You can go about your business.”

The dean rushed off; he was eager to observe Qiao Xun.

When Lu Zhanxing returned, he saw that the atmosphere was not as tense as before and knew that Qiao Xun was all right.

He also let out a sigh of relief, even though he wasn’t familiar with Qiao Xun, he knew his sister would be upset.

He had no desire to see his sister distressed.

Now that everything was fine, there were matters that needed to be discussed properly.

Lu Zhanxing approached, deliberately keeping a straight face, and started seriously, “Little sister.”

On hearing the voice, Qiao Yun turned around, and seeing Lu Zhanxing’s grim expression, her own expression shifted slightly.

Lu Zhanxing kept smiling, “Do you want to know why brother is here?”

Qiao Yun: Can I not want to know?
