Chapter 179 - Misdiagnosis? Impossible (1/2)

“What?”

“It’s not esophageal cancer?”

“F*ck! That’s impossible!”

All of them were astonished. How could the diagnosis have been wrong when everything had pointed toward esophageal carcinoma?

“Anyway, the tissue sample has been sent for histopathology, so it can’t be considered a loss yet.” Red Stethoscope was shameless. “Let’s go to Gui Street for Chinese-style spicy crawfish.”

The mention of that food made Su Yun’s expression sink immediately.

Zheng Ren was exhilarated and slightly regretful at the same time. Had it not been for the misunderstanding in the emergency department, he would have surely returned to the restaurant to see Su Yun being demolished by Chang Yue. How glorious a sight that must have been.

From Su Yun’s expression, Zheng Ren knew how much damage he had received that day.

Critical hit +10086.

A taxi they had hailed online arrived after a brief chat.

As for the destination… It was still Da Dong.

It was the evening rush hour now, so it took nearly two hours for them to travel from Fourth Ring to Dongsi s.h.i.+tiao Station.

Zheng Ren began to regret his decision as well. If these guys had not insisted on his partic.i.p.ation, he would surely have gained one skill point from reading his book.

Upon reaching South Fujikura, the lobby manager, who seemed to be familiar with these people, enthusiastically welcomed their arrival.

In the private dining room, Su Yun unrestrainedly ordered lots of food, including three plates of foie gras. Red Stethoscope’s complexion…

Became darker…

And darker…

Everyone was seated after Su Yun was done ordering. Then, he started introducing them one by one.

Red Stethoscope’s real name was Fang Lin, a doctoral student just like the others, and all of them had known Su Yun since their postgraduate days.

Zheng Ren seemed to remember that Su Yun had been in the postgraduate program at Union Medical College Hospital, so how would he have known all these people?

He knew Su Yun all too well, so he decided to keep these questions to himself despite his doubts. Otherwise, he would only receive harsh, mean answers.

“I’d like to propose a toast to Boss Zheng,” Fang Lin said politely after requesting two bottles of Laphroaig.

Zheng Ren refused the offer. “That’s too kind of you, but I can’t drink.”

“Forget about him. He can’t drink, so I’ll drink with you.” Su Yun knew his role and smoothed things over. “He’ll be in big trouble if he can’t attend the conference at the inst.i.tute tomorrow morning.”

“Oh!” Fang Lin slapped his thigh and said, “Brother Yun, I heard Little Sun of the urology department saying that he has been studying prostate artery embolization recently, and saw your name on that list. That’s why I said Sea City wasn’t a suitable place for a talented man like you.”

Su Yun smiled and brushed the black bangs framing his forehead aside, saying, “In terms of beauty, the snow will melt and the frost will thaw were I in Siberia.”

“…” Everyone was flabbergasted despite their familiarity.

“But I’m actually tagging along with my boss for this research project,” said Su Yun while stealing a look at Zheng Ren.

“Huh? Who invited Boss Zheng?” Fang Lin was unconvinced.

“Professor Pei Yingjie from a hepatobiliary hospital in Sorcery Capital.”

Fang Lin and the rest stared at each other in disbelief.

Professor Pei Yingjie was a popular candidate for a research fellow and a famous professor in the medical world!
