Chapter 865: I Am The Tallest Mountain
“Ectopic ossification, Boss. I used to think that it could only grow near the bone joints.” As they walked, Su Yun said, “You said that there are bones growing in the belly. If we can research the mechanism, will we be able to create a cyborg warrior with built-in self-defense?”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Zheng Ren said. “If that’s the case, it means that your agility will decrease and you will become a living target. You’ve done animal dissection, so you should know that many mammals have YJ bones.”
“Huh? You’ve researched this too?” Su Yun wore a smile that any man would understand. “I have studied it for a while and tried to restore and transplant a YJ bone. When the time comes, I will set up a hospital to specifically do this surgery… Boss! You reminded me! Find the reason for ectopic ossification!”
“And then transplant the ossified bone over?” Zheng Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Of course! This project is definitely a f*cking award-winning technique!” Su Yun said excitedly.
“Stop bullsh*tting.” Zheng Ren smiled. “Large mammals with YJ bones are basically extinct. Why? Isn’t it because they’re easy to break?”
“We’re talking about two things.” Su Yun waved his hand. “The difference between humans is the focus of this project.”
“There’s no difference, more or less,” Zheng Ren said. “I think the things you’re thinking about are meaningless.”
“You’re interested in prolonging the lives of humans. I’m interested in allowing their limited lives to burst out with more highlights,” Su Yun said, his black hair fluttering on his forehead.
The two of them then had a discussion about YJ bones in mammalian mating and non-mammalian mating, from the aspects of biology to sociology.
Anyway, it was all nonsense. Zheng Ren did not take it seriously. He did not believe that Su Yun could really come up with such a new surgical method.
While they were chatting, Zheng Ren’s cell phone rang.
When he saw the phone number, Zheng Ren’s hand trembled slightly.
A surgeon’s hand was the steadiest, even more than an E-sports players’… There were no E-sports players over the age of 50 for the time being. As for surgeons over the age of 50, their hands were still very stable, and they used experience to replace hand speed.
Su Yun was a little surprised. Zheng Ren’s hand trembled. Was an old lover calling?
“h.e.l.lo, Chief Kong!” Zheng Ren picked up the phone and subconsciously stood at attention.
“That’s good, that’s good. I have five TIPS surgeries tomorrow. I’ll pick you up after I’m done.”
“Uh… okay.” Zheng Ren was a little disappointed.
It was a very simple conversation. After he finished speaking, the other end of the line hung up.
“Chief Kong is coming back?” Su Yun asked.
“Yes.” Zheng Ren held his phone as if he was thinking about something.
“He’s not allowed to pick you up? He’s still in the middle of the mission?”
“No, it’s just that the hospital needs to organize a welcome party. Chief Kong said that it’s meaningless whether we go or not. He wants us to go to his house for dinner tonight,” Zheng Ren said.
“Inviting you into his house is Chief Kong’s way of expressing his goodwill to you. Boss, you’re getting better and better,” Su Yun said.
“I don’t think that all behavior patterns are a.n.a.lyzed from the perspective of interests. It’s a logical phenomenon.” Zheng Ren smiled.
The sun was s.h.i.+ning brightly.
“Chief Kong is back. Do you feel like you have a backer?”
“I am the tallest mountain. Do I still need to rely on others? It’s just that Chief Kong treats me very well. He’s always been worried at the frontline.” Zheng Ren made a strange expression and looked at Su Yun.
He should have said this himself. Su Yun’s heart was stifled, and he was silent.
It really did not feel good to be hit by someone’s reality check.
“Preoperative preparations today. Tomorrow’s live surgical broadcast should be done to perfection. Otherwise, it would be terrible if you are called back tonight.”
“Do you still need to make special preparations?”
Zheng Ren was about to speak when a familiar-looking person suddenly appeared in the corner.
He seemed to have been waiting for a long time before Zheng Ren appeared. The moment he saw Zheng Ren’s figure, his eyes lit up.
“h.e.l.lo, Professor Zheng.” The person walked in front of Zheng Ren, bowed slightly, and greeted him politely.
“I’m not a professor. Just call me Zheng Ren.” Zheng Ren pretended to know him and spoke with a smile.
Su Yun knew that Zheng Ren was in the advanced stages of face blindness. Although the smile on his face hid the panic in his heart, Zheng Ren did not know him.
“Aren’t you the family member of the patient being taken care of the digestive department? Why are you looking for Boss Zheng?” The radiant aura of an a.s.sistant bloomed around Su Yun.
Zheng Ren came to a sudden realization. So, that was the case. No wonder he looked familiar. He had just finished communicating with him and explained the relevant matters regarding the TIPS surgery.
“Boss…boss Zheng, my father’s surgery is tomorrow. Please take care of him.” He bowed repeatedly.
From the looks of it, this person was also of some status in the local area. He had an air about him. However, with his father sick, he begged the doctor without restraint.
This was also the reason why he did not want to kneel down now. Otherwise, Zheng Ren estimated that he would prostrate himself on the ground.
“Don’t worry, I will do my best,” Zheng Ren said faintly. He was trying to guess what this person meant.
“Doctor Chang will arrange the surgical sequence. My father will be the third one. You see…” the man said.
Oh, so that was the case.
Zheng Ren smiled and said gently, “The third one will be the best in the sequence. You don’t understand, do you?”
“Ah?” The man was stunned.
‘Wasn’t the first one the best surgical sequence? How could it be the third one?’
Zheng Ren had experienced this many times.
When he was in the General Surgery Department of Sea City, he invited the professors from the Imperial Capital to perform the surgery. Everyone wanted the best in the surgery sequence in their hearts.
As for how to appease the patients’ families and make them think that no matter how many surgeries their relatives had undergone, theirs would always be the best. This was what he had learned.
“Do you think that we need to warm up before we do sports?” Zheng Ren asked.
The man thought for a moment and nodded.
“So, the first one is a warm-up. The second one is just in its prime. The third one is the pinnacle of skill. After that, it will slowly decline until it is done. It seems that Doctor Chang has taken good care of you. Do you two know each other?” Zheng Ren said.
The last sentence was pure nonsense. It was just to leave a thought that the patient’s family had indeed been taken care of.
“Uh… I don’t know him.” The man’s previous thought was completely shattered, and he looked grateful.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back. The surgery tomorrow will be very fast,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.
“Boss Zheng, this is my father’s pre-operative information. If you have time, take a look.” The man immediately waved his hand, and a young woman in a professional suit next to him took out a brown paper file in a bag.
Zheng Ren frowned. He touched it with his finger and knew that it was filled with RMB, not information.
“No need.” Zheng Ren patted the man’s shoulder and said with a smile. “There will be risks in tomorrow’s surgery, but please believe that I will try my best to minimize the risks.”
With that, Zheng Ren and Su Yun entered the Interventional Surgery Department.
