Chapter 96 - Bullseye (2/2)

The guide catheter and vascular sheath were retracted from the patient’s body. Zheng Ren turned around to leave. “Maintain pressure, stop the bleed.”

Su Yun was stunned. Was he being treated like an a.s.sistant now?

He tamped down his dissatisfaction. After all, Zheng Ren had just performed a perfect surgery. Su Yun was no match for him, so what else could he say?

He nodded and used the sterile gauze to press on the puncture site, still a bit dazed.

From Su Yun’s observations, Zheng Ren’s performance had improved by leaps and bounds since the last interventional surgery. Could it be that the instruments and materials were incompatible then?

Su Yun’s mind settled on that as the reason.

Chu Yanzhi came into the room and saw Su Yun’s faraway gaze. “Hey, have you woken from your drunken stupor now?”

The line cut his heart like a knife.

Yesterday… He drank too much. How embarra.s.sing.

He always regarded himself as a person who could hold his liquor, yet he lost to a G.o.dd.a.m.n girl. He did not take that loss lightly.

This was not a good day. He had been defeated by Chang Yue in a drinking game and outcla.s.sed by Zheng Ren in the operating room.

“Not fully there yet, I see,” Chu Yanzhi said as she put the anesthesia machine aside. “If you can’t tolerate alcohol, you should drink less. Look at you. If you keep drinking like that, it’ll ruin your body. You’re still young so you won’t notice it…”

“Can you stop nagging?” Su Yun said, annoyed.

“Oh?” Chu Yanzhi smirked. “You drank yourself into a stupor.”

Su Yun could not refute the statement. “Well, no one wants to marry a person who nags.”

“Lightweight.”

“Pack up your stuff, it’s almost fifteen minutes.”

“Lightweight.”

“If you dare, come challenge me next time!”

“Lightweight.”

This word alone was enough to shut Su Yun up.

Zheng Ren was happy to witness this whole exchange.

The patient’s blood pressure was steadily rising as they transfused bags and bags of blood.

Fifteen minutes later, the pressure on the puncture site was removed and it was bandaged tightly. A few people lifted the patient onto the trolley stretcher.

The patient had not woken from general anesthesia and was equipped with a breathing tube. Chu Yanran operated the ventilation bag as they transported the patient back to the ICU ward.

As Su Yun was there, Zheng Ren did not follow.

The surgery was a success and that was all that mattered. Zheng Ren went to the changing room and removed the special lead ap.r.o.n that could turn radiation into energy. He wanted to see if it worked.

If he were honest with himself, he could feel the difference.

Although the surgery had taken just over twenty minutes, a heavy lead ap.r.o.n would have made anyone sweat through their clothes at that time.

Right now, his body was still dry and he felt refreshed. The pounds of weight did not seem to affect him. He was energized and if he had been in a video game, his energy bar would be full.

Hm… Maybe the next time he was tired, he could wear the special lead vest and stand under the X-ray machine to regain energy.

Or maybe he should not do that, as it could all just be the placebo effect. The System had given it to him without any clear guidelines.

Zheng Ren tucked away his mind-blowing idea. Holding the lead ap.r.o.n, he entered the System.

At that moment, a loud ring blared out.
