Chapter 804 - Crisis (1/2)

“What is your specialty?” Zhong Zhen asked as he looked at Liang Ce.

Liang Ce answered, “Cardiovascular surgery.”

“Dr. Yang, we’ll let you ask the questions then,” Zhong Zhen said to a middle-aged doctor with a smile.

“Of the small saphenous vein, ulnar artery, and left gastric artery, which can’t be used as a transplant material for vascular bypass during surgery?” the doctor named Yang Shiruo asked straight to the point.

Liang Ce answered without hesitation, “Left gastric artery.”

“Please list three possible symptoms of cardiac tamponade,” Yang Shiruo asked calmly.

Liang Ce answered without hesitation again, “Distention of the jugular veins, muffled heart sounds, and collapsed ventricles on a chest X-ray.”

Ren Xiaosu watched from the side as everyone answered their questions independently. If anyone tried to give them a hint, their answers would be invalidated. Everyone would have to answer their three questions in an extremely strict manner.

There were doctors here who specialized in cardiovascular surgery, general surgery, and burn surgery. In order to identify any spies within the group, Zhong Zhen brought along over a dozen doctors from the stronghold to ensure no one could slip past their checks.

Wang Jing looked at Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile, “Why do I feel that you’re a little nervous?”

“Oh.” Ren Xiaosu replied, “This feels a little like taking exams when I was back in school.”

“A simple test like this won’t trouble you at all. Don’t worry.” Wang Jing patted Ren Xiaosu on the shoulder.

Liang Ce had already answered the three questions posed to him. Yang Shiruo looked at Wang Jing, who was standing next to Liang Ce, then said to Zhong Zhen, “There won’t be a need to ask Elder Wang any questions. With my limited knowledge, I’ll just be making a fool of myself in front of him.”

However, Zhong Zhen said with a smile, “Go on, ask him. How can you not? I happen to want to learn more so I can broaden my horizons as well. I have a lot of respect for Elder Wang, so let me take this opportunity to listen to his lecture.”

Nearby, Sima Gang said indignantly, “What? Do you think Elder Wang would be a spy?”

Zhong Zhen turned to look at him and said, “There’s spies who are experts at disguising themselves these days, after all. There’s even superhumans who can take on the looks of others too.”

Wang Jing smiled calmly and said, “Ask away then. We should all be treated the same. For the sake of the medical exchange, there’s no need to take this small matter to heart.”

When everyone heard Wang Jing say that, they did not protest any further. At the end of the day, there was no reason for them to be afraid of these questions anyway. After all, those who could participate in the exchange were all outstanding talents in their respective specialities. Even Liang Ce and Meng Nan, the two interns, had scored the best grades during their school days.

The Q&A session proceeded very quickly as Ren Xiaosu quietly watched the progress. After Wang Jing finished answering his questions, Zhong Zhen suddenly turned to Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile, “And what is this young man’s specialization?”

Ren Xiaosu answered calmly, “Cardiovascular surgery.”

This time, even Liang Ce and the others were stunned. On the journey thus far, they had seen Ren Xiaosu skillfully treating external injuries, so everyone thought he specialized in general surgery. They did not expect him to specialize in cardiovascular surgery instead!

Zhong Zhen said with a smile, “I’ll have to trouble you to ask a few questions this time, Doctor Liu. You can ask a few more questions this time. I heard this young man is extremely enthusiastic about treating and saving people in our town at Stronghold 31. I’m sure his medical skills should be really superb.”

Wang Jing and the others were stunned. They were stunned that Zhong Zhen seemed to be targeting Ren Xiaosu and wondered what had happened between them.
