Chapter 133: Chapter 132: I Won’t Let Anything Happen to Him

Today, there were no surgeries scheduled, so Director Bi had arranged for Ye Yan to do half a day of outpatient clinic in the general department.

The hangover was still taking its toll, and her head had throbbed with pain all morning.

Enduring until the lunch break, Ye Yan’s phone received a message from Chai Chen.

The two of them had been discussing his new topic for the past few days, and today was no exception.

Chai Chen was quite busy on his side, only getting in touch with her whenever he found some time.

When it came to academic issues, Ye Yan could always quickly forget her fatigue.

Perhaps typing was inconvenient, Chai Chen suggested they video chat.

"Have you eaten yet?" Chai Chen asked, an unusual off-topic question, while adjusting the video.

"I’m eating now." Ye Yan had Xiao Xiao help her get a cafeteria takeout meal.

"You eat, it won’t hinder anything." Chai Chen said with a smile, "Have you discovered this special talent of yours?"

Ye Yan lifted the lid of her takeout meal – today’s fare was barbecued pork, chicken, and boiled Chinese cabbage. "Special talent?"

"You make people want to eat when you eat."

Chai Chen laughed.

They used to often "bump into" each other in the canteen, and he found that when Ye Yan ate, she did so elegantly, yet it was easy to elicit empathy.

Watching her eat could whet one’s appetite, and it was also a pleasure.

Ye Yan whispered softly, "I used to do mukbangs, but the updates were sporadic."

"Can you tell me your ID?"

"Don’t look; I’d be embarrassed," Ye Yan said as she stuffed a piece of barbecued pork into her mouth and chewed slowly, "I don’t have many followers anyway."

Chai Chen didn’t insist. He guessed Xiao Xiao probably knew and would just ask her later.

"Professor Geng’s project has run into unprecedented difficulties," Chai Chen steered the conversation back to academic research to prevent Ye Yan from seeing his ulterior motives.

"What’s stumped Professor Geng?"

Chai Chen organized the documents in his hands, the camera catching a corner of his clear face, mostly casting images on the documents.

"It’s about the surgical treatment of patients with coagulation disorders."

Ye Yan’s gaze casually fell upon the pile of documents in his hands. Chai Chen did not deliberately hide them from her, which signaled his trust.

As he was about to file some of them vertically, Ye Yan suddenly saw a somewhat familiar photograph.

"Wait a moment," Ye Yan suddenly called out.

That photograph looked a lot like Ye Zhun’s high school entrance photo.

She had wanted to take him to a photo studio back then, but he was too lazy to move, so they just used a mobile phone to take one at home. After some editing, it had been used until now.

"Could I see the photograph on that document?" Ye Yan thought she was overthinking it.

Probably because she was too worried about Ye Zhun, so everyone seemed a bit like him.

Chai Chen was all the way in Hong Kong; how could his project possibly be related to Ye Zhun?

"This one?" Chai Chen adjusted the page with the photo to face the camera, "I’ve always felt this kid looks a bit like you. He has the same last name, Ye, as well. But for you to see from so far, your eyesight is really good."

The familiar face came into view on camera, and Ye Yan’s chopsticks clattered to the floor.

She bolted up from her chair, and in her haste, the chair tumbled to the ground.

"Dr. Chai, could you trouble you to take a photo of that page and send it to me?"

"All right." Chai Chen didn’t know why she was suddenly so agitated, but he immediately took the photo and sent it.

Ye Yan hurriedly enlarged the photo sent by Chai Chen; she was more certain that the person was Ye Zhun. The name, ID number, all matched up.

She continued scrolling down; when she saw the words "voluntary donation of a healthy kidney," her vision darkened on the spot.

"Dr. Ye, Dr. Ye," Chai Chen, seeing her on the verge of collapsing, urgently shouted, "What’s wrong, are you okay?"

Unfortunately, through the screen, he couldn’t even give her a hand.

Chai Chen’s continuous calls gradually calmed Ye Yan down; she leaned on the edge of the table with one hand, resisting waves of dizziness.

"Dr. Chai, where are you now?"

~

Hong Kong.

Outside the operating room.

Professor Geng was the chief surgeon of this operation, with two other experts as his assistants.

Before the surgery, although the expert team had prepared several viable plans, the process of surgery was full of variables.

The main difficulty of the surgery wasn’t the kidney transplant itself; it was ensuring the donor’s safety that was of paramount importance.

Professor Geng and the others were extremely cautious.

And Fu Xingzhou looked even more tense.

"Professor Geng, no matter what, we cannot let anything happen to him."

"Mr. Fu, we’ll do our best."

No one dared to make an absolute guarantee; at this point, success was half dependent on skill and half on luck.

As for whether Lady Luck would be on their side, that was still an unknown.

The red light of the operating room came on, and the door slowly closed.

"Wait a second." Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, "I’m a family member, and I do not consent to this surgery."

Hearing the familiar voice, Fu Xingzhou stiffened.

He turned around and saw Ye Yan, sweating profusely from running.

The look in Ye Yan’s eyes carried a fierce anger, as if searing his heart with a hot iron.

"Ye Zhun has a coagulation disorder; he cannot undergo major surgery." Ye Yan rushed over, "As a family member, I do not consent. If you insist on the surgery, it’s illegal."

Professor Geng was taken aback by the sudden development.

The surgery consent form had already been signed; why had another family member appeared?

"Yanyan." Fu Xingzhou stepped forward to stop Ye Yan, "I won’t let anything happen to him."

"How can you guarantee that?" Ye Yan was agitated, "You know this disease should not be operated on, right? Even though you’re aware it could cost Xiao Zhun his life, you still decide to go ahead with the surgery."

"I’ve had the experts prepare several plans; they will ensure Xiao Zhun’s safety."

"For years, I’ve been trying to cure Xiao Zhun’s condition, but so far, no medical institutions in the world have been able to cure it. Tell me, who can guarantee his safety?" Ye Yan looked at Professor Geng, "Is it you?"

Professor Geng felt a pang of guilt.

He dared only to promise to increase the odds but couldn’t guarantee absolute safety.

"Yanyan." Fu Xingzhou gripped her wrist: "The surgery has already begun, and only Xiao Zhun can save the old master."

"He can save the old master, but who will save him?"

Ye Yan stared disappointedly at the man in front of her, as if she had never known him.

"Fu Xingzhou, do you even have a heart?"

"Yanyan."

"Let go of me."

Fu Xingzhou didn’t let go, and Ye Yan retaliated with a slap.

The slap was both precise and forceful, the crisp sound echoing through the entire corridor.

The bodyguards, including Professor Geng, were stunned.

Especially Professor Geng.

This man, who could turn the clouds and rain with a flick of his hand, had actually been slapped by someone.

Who exactly was this lady?

He felt almost compelled to bow down in admiration.

Fu Xingzhou’s face turned to one side from the slap, as if it had also solidified his resolve.
