After being restrained by Chu Luo, Sun Tianhao was anxious, angry, and worried. His nerves even tensed into a straight line. When Chu Luo announced that the surgery was successful, he actually started wailing.
Looking at Sun Tianhao, who was crying like a child, the others didn’t laugh at him. Instead, they couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely lose control of their emotions after seeing their family member’s life hanging by a thread and being treated by such a young person.
Professor Tan and Dean w.a.n.g wrapped up the surgery. Chu Luo walked to Sun Tianhao, who was lying there, and took out the silver needles that sealed his acupoints. She handed him a piece of tissue. “You look ugly. Wipe it.”
.
Sun Tianhao suddenly felt very embarra.s.sed. He quickly took the tissue from her hand and wiped his face a few times, wanting to get up from the bed.
However, since he had just lost so much blood, he was already anemic. The moment he moved, his vision blurred and he fell back.
He quickly closed his eyes and looked up at Chu Luo, who had walked away. He called out, “Hey.”
Chu Luo glanced at him. “Didn’t anyone tell you to be polite to others?”
Sun Tianhao’s face turned red. His lips moved a few times before he finally called out softly, “Chu Luo.”
Then, he straightened his neck and said, “You’re so young. Who knew you were so incredible?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”

“…”
Sun Tianhao glared at her.
His main point wasn’t to praise her at all!
Chu Luo stopped looking at him and walked towards Professor Tang.
Dean w.a.n.g looked at her with a complicated gaze. There were many things he wanted to clarify, but now wasn’t the time to ask. He said, “Little Chu, let’s have a chat later.”
Chu Luo didn’t mind. “I’ll follow Professor Tang.”
Professor Tang glanced at Dean w.a.n.g and said, “Prepare to send the patient to the ICU ward.”
Recalling his att.i.tude towards Chu Luo previously, Dean w.a.n.g’s face burned. He turned around and used the internal phone to inform the other medical staff to come in and prepare.
After Dean w.a.n.g was done informing them, he came over and said to Sun Tianhao, “Little Young Master Sun, come out with me. Your family is still waiting outside.”
Sun Tianhao first glanced at Chu Luo before nodding at him. The two of them left first.
After Professor Tang was done with the finis.h.i.+ng touches, he asked the nurse to push the patient out. He stopped Chu Luo and said, “Little Chu, come here. I’ll tell you how to use the other equipment in the operating room.”

Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them stayed in the operating theater for two more minutes before going out. At this time, the patient had already been sent to the ICU.
Unexpectedly, there was someone waiting outside the operating theater. It was Sun Tianhao.
Sun Tianhao stood there alone. He didn’t stand there as primly and as properly as his family did. Perhaps it was because he had just undergone a blood transfusion. He had his back against the wall, one leg bent, and the heel of his hand was against the wall. He was craning his neck and looking over.
The moment the door opened, he retracted his neck. At the same time, he stood up and complained in dissatisfaction, “You’re the attending physicians. How can you come out so late?”
Professor Tang replied, “There’s still some unfinished work.”
Then, he said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, let’s discuss the patient’s recovery plan with the specialist group first.”
Chu Luo nodded.
The two of them walked towards the elevator.
With his long legs, Sun Tianhao followed them into the elevator. He stuck his hand into his pocket and looked elsewhere. Just as the elevator was about to reach the floor, he suddenly took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Chu Luo.
“Oh, my niece happened to leave them with me before she finished eating. I’ll give it to you since you’ve spent such a long time doing the operation.”
Chu Luo looked at the chocolate and didn’t take it.
Professor Tang looked at the awkward Sun Tianhao and guessed that this young man was in the wrong. However, he didn’t want to apologize openly, so he tried to be friendly.
He said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, you’ve been performing surgery for eight hours. It’s not a bad idea to eat some chocolate to replenish your energy. We’ll have to discuss for at least two hours after this. You’re still young, so you definitely won’t be able to withstand the hunger.”
Chu Luo wanted to say that she had food on her.
Seeing that she wasn’t going to take it, Sun Tianhao stuffed it into her hand.
Chu Luo subconsciously took it.
The elevator arrived at the floor and the three of them quickly walked towards the conference room.
At this moment, the Sun family and the doctors who had partic.i.p.ated in the surgery were all sitting there, waiting for the two of them.
When the door opened, everyone looked over.
Everyone looked at Chu Luo.
The Sun family members’ eyes were sizing her up and were filled with disbelief. The people who partic.i.p.ated in the surgery stared at her with burning gazes.
At this moment, Dean w.a.n.g called out, “Old Tang, Little Chu, come over and sit.”
The two of them walked to the seats that were reserved for them. After Professor Tang sat down, he introduced the other unfamiliar faces to Chu Luo. “This is Dean Ouyang, this is Dean Qian from the Cardiology Department, this is Doctor Ren from the Radiology Department, this is Dean Zhang from the laboratory, and this is Doctor Li from the Surgery Department.”
The bunch of them were very warm towards Chu Luo, but with the Sun family around, they didn’t say much.
The director said, “Let the meeting begin.”
Then, everyone started discussing.
Chu Luo didn’t talk much, only speaking one or two sentences when someone asked her something.
The discussion only ended after more than two hours. Eldest Master Sun suddenly said, “I heard that our father’s surgery was performed by Young Friend Chu. I wonder if Young Friend Chu has performed such a major surgery on patients before?”
Eldest Master Sun had a stern look on his face. When he asked this question, he had an expression that made it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry, and everyone in the hospital felt their hearts skip a beat. They were afraid that he would take revenge later.
Professor Tang was about to speak.
Chu Luo widened her big and sparkly eyes at him and her long eyelashes fluttered as she blinked. She asked, “If I said no, would you pursue the matter?”
Eldest Master Sun stared at her. Their gazes met.
The entire atmosphere in the meeting room changed, making people not dare to breathe loudly.
At that moment, the sound of a chair sc.r.a.ping against the floor suddenly rang out, immediately breaking the suffocating silence.
Everyone looked at Sun Tianhao, who had made a sound using his chair.
Sun Tianhao quickly sat up straight, as if the sound he had made was an accident.
However, Eldest Master Sun retracted his gaze and said in a firm tone, “You must be present for every follow-up examination during our father’s recovery period.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, “No.”
The moment she spoke, the air in the entire conference room became tense.
The people at the hospital broke out in a cold sweat for her.
However, Chu Luo said calmly, “I have something on during the day. I’ll take the time to come and take a look every night at most.”
The expressions of the people from the Sun family were very dark. Their expressions made people’s hearts palpitate.
Chu Luo, however, curled her lips. “If you don’t agree, I won’t come.”
“Do you know what the consequences of your words are for you and your family?”
“Are you threatening me or abusing your private rights?”

Chu Luo narrowed her eyes as anger flashed across them. The aura on her body instantly became so sharp that it shocked the Sun family, whose members had been in high positions for a long time.
Professor Tang, who was sitting next to her, looked at her worriedly. He knew that the Sun family wasn’t unreasonable. They just doubted Chu Luo’s ability and wanted to observe her carefully.
Therefore, he explained, “Little Chu is currently partic.i.p.ating in a very important research. She must be present during the day and only has time at night.”
Only then did the expressions of the Sun family members improve.
Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, the director quickly said, “It’s already so late. Everyone, go and eat first. Don’t let the kid starve to death.”
Only then did everyone remember Chu Luo, the child who had performed eight hours of surgery and discussed with them for two hours.
The expressions of the Sun family and the others finally calmed down.
Eldest Master Sun said, “Third Brother, Tianhao, take them out to eat.”
“No need,” Chu Luo said. “I’ll just eat in the hospital cafeteria. I’ll go back after observing the grandpa’s condition.”
Eldest Master Sun glanced at her and didn’t say anything else.
Everyone walked towards the hospital cafeteria.
The news of Chu Luo being the chief surgeon for Old Master Sun quickly spread throughout the entire department. When she came back from eating, the doctors and nurses who pa.s.sed by would secretly size her up. First, they were stunned by her looks, and then, when they thought about her age, all of them felt that it was incredible.
“I remember now. She’s this year’s college entrance examination top scholar, Chu Luo!” someone suddenly exclaimed. Everyone else was shocked.
“Yes, yes, yes. I was wondering why she looked so familiar.”
“Heavens, the college entrance examination’s top scholar, Chu Luo, actually knows how to treat patients. Her medical skills are so good that she can even be the chief surgeon. She’s too amazing!”
“Could she be from a medical family?”
“No. The Education Channel revealed that she’s just the child of an ordinary family doing business.”
“Could it be that she’s extremely talented and self-taught?”
“She might have encountered an otherworldly expert.”

…
The more they spoke, the more mystified they felt. However, they were all extremely impressed by her.
It could be said that because of this surgery, Chu Luo quickly became known by all the doctors in the hospital.
If it weren’t for the fact that Old Master Sun’s condition here was kept a secret and that the people who operated on him couldn’t publicize it for the time being, they would have wanted to publicize it everywhere.
After the meal, Chu Luo and Professor Tang were called by the director and Dean w.a.n.g to talk for half an hour. The two of them went to look at the patients in the ICU ward. Professor Tang said to Chu Luo:
“Little Chu, you should go back to school first. When the patient is transferred from the ICU to a normal ward, I’ll come over to talk to you about that matter and the doctor you need. I’ll help you contact him tomorrow and let you guys meet him.”
Chu Luo had no objections and prepared to return to Imperial University.
However, just as she reached the elevator, Sun Tianhao followed her.
Chu Luo glanced at him and took out her phone.
The elevator came down and she walked in.
Sun Tianhao followed.
During this time, Chu Luo kept looking at her phone. Sun Tianhao didn’t say anything. He kept his hands in his pockets and looked straight ahead, staring at her through the reflection of the elevator wall.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Chu Luo walked out while Sun Tianhao continued to follow her.
When they reached the middle courtyard, Chu Luo finally stopped and said in a displeased tone, “If you can’t accept that slap, just say it. I’ll fight with you. If it’s not about that, don’t follow me.”
Sun Tianhao replied with a tense face, “You saved my grandfather. I won’t fight you.”
“Then what do you want?”
