Chapter 804 - Crisis (2/2)
Ren Xiaosu gave Zhong Zhen a glance. He was the only one who knew Zhong Zhen was deliberately targeting him. That was because he was the one who had shot dead the deserter. The recon platoon lurking in the wilderness had witnessed everything.
So, if their positions were switched and Ren Xiaosu were responsible for finding the spy, he would also think he was the most suspicious person in the group.
Zhong Zhen was eyeing Ren Xiaosu like a tiger stalking its prey. His subordinates around him were casually putting their hands on their holsters.
Doctor Liu asked, “A female patient aged 38 suffers from heart palpitations after performing physical labor. She has been experiencing shortness of breath for 10 years, and it’s getting worse by the year. For nearly a year now, she has had to take digoxin daily for her medication. Sometimes, she takes a diuretic as well and can walk for up to a kilometer without any problems. She has a history of knee arthritis pain from 15 years ago… Her electrocardiogram shows atrial fibrillation, with fatty infiltration in her right ventricular wall. The echocardiogram found that she has mitral stenosis and a left ventricular thrombus. If she was under your care, what treatment would you choose for her?”
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, “Open mitral commissurotomy.”
Doctor Liu asked, “Why?”
“This patient has both a long-term and long history of illnesses. She’s also suffering from thrombosis in the left ventricular wall, so performing an open mitral commissurotomy operation will be the most suitable. Moreover, this method can also remove the narrow obstruction under the valve and completely treat her mitral valve stenosis. In addition…” Ren Xiaosu said slowly, enunciating each word clearly.
Wang Jing looked at Ren Xiaosu in surprise. He had not expected this young man to think the same as him. If he were the chief surgeon, he would also make the same choice as Ren Xiaosu after hearing about the case. His reasons for doing so would be the same as well!
This feeling was as though someone was speaking his mind for him. It even made Wang Jing feel like he was a confidant.
The smile on Zhong Zhen’s face gradually disappeared. He did not expect the person he was most suspicious of could actually answer the question so smoothly.
Doctor Liu turned to look at Zhong Zhen. “I’m done asking. There’s no problem.”
Zhong Zhen said, “You can ask a few more questions.”
Doctor Liu was dumbfounded. At this moment, everyone understood that Zhong Zhen was targeting Ren Xiaosu.
However, Doctor Liu did not argue with him. As a member of the Kong Consortium, who would be willing to offend these devil incarnates of the intelligence agency? He asked Ren Xiaosu five more questions, but Ren Xiaosu still answered all of them smoothly without any problems! He answered them flawlessly!
If it weren’t for the fact that Ren Xiaosu was young, the cardiovascular specialists like Doctor Liu and Yang Shiruo would almost think the young man in front of them was an experienced surgeon who had been working at the operating table for many years!
He might not be the best surgeon, but he was definitely at the level of a chief physician.
The way that Wang Jing was looking at Ren Xiaosu had completely changed. Previously, he only admired him. But now, it was as though he had discovered a treasure.
“My apologies.” Zhong Zhen said with a fake smile, “I didn’t expect you to be such an amazing doctor.”
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a fluke that he was able to pass the questioning today. Ever since “Old Xu” discovered those reconnaissance troops in the wilderness, he felt there would probably be others coming to make things difficult for them when they arrived at the city. So he used Basic Skill Duplication Scrolls on Wang Jing.
The skill the first scroll had copied was Advanced Accordion Playing, the second scroll copied Intermediate Sketching, while the third skill he copied was Tai Chi for the Elderly. When Ren Xiaosu copied the skills to this point, he nearly lost all hope. He could only think to himself how multitalented Elder Wang Jing was. Besides, why was the Tai Chi skill even annotated with the word “elderly”? What? Do you mean to say that youngsters cannot practice tai chi?!
It wasn’t until the fourth skill duplication scroll was used that Ren Xiaosu was finally relieved: “Advanced Cardiovascular Specialty.”
Suddenly, Zhong Zhen picked up the list and said, “Eh, I saw from your list that 13 people will be entering the stronghold. There’s only 12 of you here. Where’s the last girl? Can you please get her to come and answer the questions as well?”
