Chapter 34: After amendment: Chapter 34 Everything Prioritizes the Patient

When Ji Yu heard Zhou Haiyan about to speak, her heart skipped a beat.

She didn’t even have time to exchange polite words with her and directly voiced her own thoughts.

It wasn’t for any other reason, but because during Ji Yu’s investigation into Dion’s background, she found that as a celebrity, he was indeed a positive role model, often sponsoring impoverished children.

If Dion’s surgery were to be handled by her, she could only say that everything he achieved was well-deserved.

"Sister Yan, I think you’ve already seen the news circulating online, but I hope you can trust me."

"The internet is not a lawless space, and From New will certainly uncover the ones behind these schemes targeting us. But for now, Mr. Zhou’s surgery should not be delayed further—his physical recovery has already been postponed for far too long. If we continue to delay..."

Listening to Ji Yu’s words, Zhou Haiyan became even more resolved in choosing Ji Yu as the primary surgeon for Dion.

Many celebrities undergo cosmetic surgery, but the majority of such procedures tend to cause side effects.

Now that Dion was no longer in his youthful prime, Zhou Haiyan had taken a more serious interest in his surgery.

"Doctor Ji, since you’ve spoken so frankly, I won’t beat around the bush either."

Ji Yu’s candidness made Zhou Haiyan all the more uneasy, as she felt somewhat guilty toward her.

But when she thought of her brother’s future...

"My assistant just contacted me. The company’s stance is that if we still want to collaborate with From New, the surgical patient must remain confidential to the public."

"I know this might seem unfair to you, Doctor Ji, and I’ll certainly ensure you’re compensated. Dion is my younger brother, and I wouldn’t want him to end up being handled carelessly by someone else..."

Ji Yu understood the ’carelessness’ Zhou Haiyan was referring to, and it was precisely due to this that she hoped to convince her to agree to let her proceed with the surgery.

Now that their thoughts aligned, the knot of tension in Ji Yu’s heart finally loosened.

"Of course. With surgeries, ensuring the patient’s well-being must always be the priority."

This one sentence—"ensuring the patient’s well-being"—reassured Zhou Haiyan greatly. She hadn’t expected Ji Yu to agree so quickly.

Since Ji Yu had agreed, naturally, Zhou Haiyan wouldn’t treat her poorly.

"Then I’ll leave it all to you, Doctor Ji. The proposed plan looks good. As for the previously discussed eighty million, the surgical fee will be raised to 100 million—I hope you won’t refuse."

Originally thinking of declining, Ji Yu, hearing this, decided not to act coy anymore.

Over the past three years, she had missed out on earning a lot of money. Now, with someone sending funds her way, only a fool wouldn’t accept.

What’s more, though Dion’s surgery wasn’t considered particularly high difficulty, it did require a great deal of personal patience and effort.

Following a car accident, Dion had suffered extensive burns to his face, and most of his body showed mild burns as well.

Recently, if Ji Yu hadn’t contacted her mentor abroad for consultation, she really wouldn’t have known how to proceed optimally.

"Since they’re being so generous, I’ll do them the favor of treating this ageless idol’s burns while I’m at it..."

Ji Yu didn’t share this thought with Zhou Haiyan, as comprehensive skin grafting would require a significantly longer amount of time.

Post-surgery, Ji Yu planned to use her specially developed ointment for recovery. Then, if Dion’s skin still showed extensive issues, she could bring up additional measures later.

"Alright then, Sister Yan, let’s meet at From New a week from now."

Ji Yu calmly shook hands with Zhou Haiyan to bid goodbye. After all, the surgical agreement needed amendments—a quick stop for Tian to guide Zhou Haiyan through signing would suffice.

Ji Yu had more pressing matters to attend to.

Someone had decided to provoke her, and naturally, she didn’t plan to let them off easily.

Once Zhou Haiyan was guided away by Tian and out of her line of sight, Ji Yu pulled out her exclusive From New phone and dialed a string of numbers.

"Hey Hong, have you seen what’s been happening online?"

At that moment, Hong, who was sitting at his computer, typing away at code, answered without pausing his work.

He naturally set his phone aside and linked it to Bluetooth while continuing his flurry of keystrokes.

The sound of typing was so loud that Ji Yu could hear just how furious he was through the phone.

"Sister Yu, don’t even start—I’m pissed off!"

"Tian just called me earlier—I hadn’t even noticed this mess until then, and by the time I got wind of it, the whole thing had already gone viral! I’m tracking the IP right now. Give me a minute; I’ll have it pinned down soon."

Hearing his confident tone, Ji Yu didn’t rush him.

After all, she had just wrapped up her negotiations on this end—there was plenty of time to wait for updates from Hong’s side.

However, just as Ji Yu relaxed, waiting for news, her other phone rang.

She glanced at the incoming call—it was Feng Qinqin.

Ji Yu guessed Feng Qinqin might be upset about the online rumors but recognized that some matters would take time to explain to her.

Hong’s progress wasn’t something Feng Qinqin knew about as of yet, so Ji Yu ended up cutting the call short.

She offered a few consoling words, promising a detailed explanation later in the evening.

Understanding Ji Yu’s current busyness, while still angry, Feng Qinqin refrained from bothering her further.

Just as Ji Yu finished handling Feng Qinqin’s concerns, Hong delivered the news.

"Sister Yu, I found it! The IP points to Beijing, but after hacking into their computer, I realized their desktop looks oddly familiar. They might be a professional hacker hired for this."

Hearing that the issue involved a professional hacker, Ji Yu’s expression turned icy.

Whoever it was, the incident unequivocally targeted her—or perhaps From New.

"Between the online negative rumors about From New and myself, which are circulating more actively?"

"Let me check."

After hearing Ji Yu’s inquiry, Hong quickly resumed typing on his keyboard, soon arriving at an answer.

"Sister Yu, it seems they’re gunning for you."

"Based on the relevant posts, any mention of From New happens alongside mentions of you, so it’s evident they’re manipulating this situation to specifically target you."

"Sister Yu, you... you’ve upset someone recently?"

Hong couldn’t fathom who would want to take Ji Yu down. After all, she was known to be kind-hearted and unlikely to incite hostility from others.

Yet, the reality said otherwise.

After hearing what she wanted, Ji Yu began to piece together possible suspects.

She casually brushed off Hong’s doubts and hung up the phone.

Because at this moment, one thought dominated Ji Yu’s mind: this could involve Gu Qixiao. Perhaps it was Gu Qixiao acting on behalf of his little flame and going to such lengths against her.

As Ji Yu entertained these thoughts, she quickly looked up Gu Qixiao’s phone number.

Her fingers darted across her phone, crafting a succinct message. Shortly thereafter, Gu Qixiao’s phone pinged with the notification:

[President Gu, a stab in the back—what a shocking move.]
