Chapter 102: Unbelievable

At the same time, inside a ward at the Municipal People’s Hospital in Sand City, as the clock struck six in the morning.

A group of surgical specialists stared at the boss, who was still sound asleep, their faces filled with astonishment.

When the boss was brought in by ambulance in the middle of the night, the emergency doctor on duty immediately performed a full-body examination.

That was because the tube stuck in the boss’s chest was far too terrifying.

With only a glance, no one could tell whether the tube had pierced any vital organ.

In that uncertain situation, the emergency doctors did not know whether pulling it out on a whim would cause some disaster, and none of them dared take the gamble.

But after completing the examination, they found that apart from a slight fracture of the breastbone, the man’s condition was astonishingly good.

They judged that if the boss had not been exhausted and frightened into sleep, then once the tube was removed and the wound sutured, he could have gone home.

But how could that be possible? Before he was brought here, he had already been on the brink of death.

During the examination, the doctors also discovered that his breathing had stopped in his lungs before he arrived at the hospital.

What was more, the tube in his chest was still there, and they had heard it had been inserted by some ignorant young man who knew nothing at all.

Could it be... that young man had really saved the boss?

But to save a person by inserting a tube into the chest?

Who would believe that?

Even after the emergency doctors had examined the boss and confirmed that he was truly out of danger, they still did not dare remove the tube and close the chest rashly.

So, after some discussion, they called the hospital’s senior surgical specialists and told them what had happened.

After hearing this bizarre and absurd story, the specialists all scrambled out of bed and rushed to the hospital overnight.

Before coming, those nationally renowned surgeons had not believed that some clueless brat could perform surgery and actually save a life.

Yet when they arrived at the hospital and carefully examined the boss again, they had no choice but to accept the truth.

The specialists stared at one another, wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.

One of the younger middle-aged experts moved his lips and said softly, “Do you think... maybe the kid just got lucky and happened to save the old man?”

“Impossible.”

The oldest among them, evidently the most authoritative of the group, shook his head firmly.

“You should know that without a scan, not a single one of us would dare operate casually.”

“Even if we did, we could not possibly avoid every vital organ and every major vessel while keeping the patient’s lungs connected to the outside world... the odds of that are virtually zero.”

“If it were me, even with a scan, I still couldn’t get off the operating table within an hour. But...”

“That young man only took a few minutes.”

The old expert’s words left everyone unable to refute him.

Deep down, the specialists all understood that this was not something luck could accomplish.

And yet, thinking of how young the other man was, and how his skill far surpassed their own, they still found it unbelievable, whether judged by logic or by heart.

How on earth had that young man done it?

If this were true, then had they spent their entire lives in medicine for nothing?

Just as everyone’s expressions grew complicated, an emergency doctor hurried in with a phone in hand.

“Old Shen, Old Wang... and all the experts, this is a video from the police.”

“The video shows everything that happened last night. The police sent it over specifically to help us determine the patient’s condition. It includes the old man being beaten, as well as the process of Mr. Su performing the operation on him.”

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, all the specialists perked up. The one at the front, Old Shen, even strode over quickly and took the phone.

He dragged the progress bar back to the very beginning. When he saw the old man being beaten, and then kicked hard in the chest by Leopard Bro, he could not help swearing out loud.

“People these days are truly lawless! One kick like that—how could the boss possibly take it? If his lungs stopped working, he’d be gone in less than five minutes!”

“Even if he’d been rushed to the hospital and could still be saved, once the oxygen deprivation lasted more than two minutes, there would be a huge chance of brain death. If he were brought back at all, he’d only be a vegetable!”

Old Shen said this in fury, and the experts behind him watching the video were equally indignant.

The video continued, and what made everyone’s faces turn ugly was that, just as Old Shen had said, the boss really did turn deathly pale and struggle on the ground.

That was the very picture of not being able to breathe.

“It’s over... he’s gone...” one expert sighed.

No sooner had he spoken than another old specialist said, “Gone what? He’s lying perfectly well on the hospital bed, isn’t he?”

Hearing this, the experts who had been sighing suddenly came to their senses.

Yes.

The boss was still alive, wasn’t he?

But in a case like this, without professional equipment, how on earth had he survived?

Even if it had been them facing such a situation, they would have been helpless.

All of them, filled with curiosity, fixed their burning eyes on the images in the video.

In the footage, Su Chen had taken down those thugs, earning unanimous praise from the specialists.

Then they watched as, ignoring the police warnings, Su Chen went to the boss’s side.

From repositioning the patient’s body onward, every movement was smooth and precise, utterly unlike a young man and more like an old doctor with years of experience, which drew repeated nods from the group of specialists.

But after that, even the veteran experts could no longer follow.

In the footage, Su Chen first used his fingers to press and palpate the boss’s chest, and then he brought the blade down with steady certainty, without the slightest excess movement, using a dagger to open an incision in the boss’s chest.

“My... God! It’s a dagger!”

“How did he manage to make such a small incision with such a wide blade, and still not injure any major blood vessels?”

“That hand is unbelievably steady! He must have been on an operating table before!”

...

Listening to the clamor of the specialists, Old Shen said nothing.

He merely kept dragging the progress bar back and forth, watching over and over again the way Su Chen pressed on the old man’s chest.

Though he did not know how Su Chen had done it, that hand was definitely not pressing randomly. Every touch landed on the positions of the organs inside the boss’s chest.

He had actually found the best place to cut, simply through palpation.

This... this was inconceivable.
