And thus, Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen headed over to Jian Yunnao’s ward.
As of this moment, the Jian family was anxiously waiting for the operation to begin. When they saw Cheng Yi and Luo Xiuen arrive, they rushed forward to ask:
“Dr. Cheng, Dr. Luo, what’s the matter? Didn’t you say that the operation will take place at one o’clock? There’s only half an hour remaining.”
The person who said this was Jian Shuxing.
It was almost time for the surgery. Why was nothing happening yet?
“Please do not worry. There’s still half an hour till one o’clock. If something unexpected happens, the operation will be delayed by an hour.”
Cheng Yi’s words managed to appease the Jian family. However, at the same time, his words added to their worries.
It was fine if the operation was only delayed by an hour. They had been waiting for so many days already. An hour didn’t matter.
However, they were worried that things would change.
What if an hour turned into another hour? In fact, what if that turned into a day? And then a week?
Jian Yuncheng immediately followed up and asked, “Did something happen to Dr. F.S? Do you need help with anything?”
Cheng Yi smiled and replied, “Please do not worry. The doctors at our inst.i.tution are very capable of handling their own personal and business matters. Even if emergencies exist, we believe that the members of our research inst.i.tution can handle it by themselves. Even if they can’t, the rest of us will naturally help them out. We do not need the help of outsiders.”
Cheng Yi decisively refused Jian Yuncheng’s offer. And thus, the Jian family could not ask any more questions.
Time was pa.s.sing incredibly slowly. It was very tortuous for the Jian family.
They felt as though they were ants crawling over a hot pot. They felt like they wanted to jump from one spot to another.

Jian Yiling was on her way from the Qiu Residence to the research inst.i.tution.
As she had spent quite some time in the morning looking for witnesses and collecting evidence, that had used up quite a lot of time. Furthermore, the ruckus at the Qiu Residence had also lasted for quite some time. As a result, it was almost twelve o’clock by the time they had left the Qiu Residence.
As the Qiu Residence and the research inst.i.tution were located in the two different ends of Hengyuan City, it would take at least an hour’s drive to reach the inst.i.tution.
And thus, on the way to the inst.i.tution, Jian Yiling sent them a message to notify them about her situation.
Then, she also ate her lunch in the car. She knew that the operation in the afternoon would take up quite a lot of time. If she didn’t have enough energy, this would affect her performance in the operation.
It was ten minutes to one o’clock when Jian Yiling finally arrived at the inst.i.tution.
After she arrived, she immediately changed her clothes. She disinfected herself before she entered the operating room.
The staff at the inst.i.tution also pushed Jian Yunnao into the room for anesthesia.
Before the operation, Jian Yunnao had a.s.sumed that he’d be given a local anesthetic. However, before he figured out what was happening, the staff at the inst.i.tution had put him under general anesthetic. As a result, he quickly lost consciousness.
It was too late by the time that he realized that it was general anesthetic.
Then, the operation began.
From start to finish, the Jian family never saw the face of Dr. F.S.
Dr. F.S was as mysterious as before. The only information that they had was off the Internet.
Initially, they had expected to meet the mysterious surgeon before the operation.
However, now, they had no choice but to trust in the surgeon that they had never met before.
The microscopic nerve repair surgery that Jian Yunnao was undergoing was a very intricate operation. It involved reconnected the damaged nerves. Due to this reason, it was extremely difficult to perform and required a lot of time.
The Jian family anxiously waited outside of the operating room. They couldn’t relax at all.
They were filled with antic.i.p.ation. However, at the same time, they were also inexplicably anxious.
