625 Slippery (2/2)

Xu Wen hummed in agreement.

If Qi Liangpeng were stupid enough not to understand what Xu Wen meant, he would have been killed by the miners who worked under him a long time ago.

Qi Yuquan who was lying in the hospital bed, too, understood what Xu Wen meant. Even though his breathing became louder, he said nothing.

There was an unspeakable silence in the ward.

The Qi family members glanced at each other, and they acted exactly like how they did whenever they were in the mines.

After a while, Xu Wen said, ”I'm going to invite Doctor Ling to Beijing to operate on other patients, as in, I'll be hiring him as a freelance surgeon.”

Qi Liangpeng nodded and said, ”No problem. We can invite him to stay in Artisan Fountain.

”That would be the best.” Xu Wen covered his mouth and smiled. This was exactly what he was trying to imply.

Artisan Fountain Guest House was where the Qi family members hosted their friends, and it is not open to the public. Even so, its location and service were extremely good, and it was embellished with many fine details that you would not be able to find in hotels. Xu Wen felt that it was an extremely suitable place for Ling Ran to stay in and that the guest house would definitely leave a deep impression in Ling Ran's mind.

Xu Wen wanted Ling Ran to remember both the Beijing University Sixth Hospital and how Beijing was like as a place well.

”Why don't we let the patient take a good rest? I'll be taking my leave first.” Now that Xu Wen had achieved his aim, he did not feel like staying in the ward anymore.

After Xu Wen went downstairs, he immediately charged to the emergency room to look for Ling Ran so that he could successfully invite Ling Ran to carry out freelance surgery in Beijing

The doctors from other hospitals were gone. Xu Wen sneered a little. 'This lack of patience is exactly why you guys don't get to learn from top experts.'

”Where is Doctor Ling?” Xu Wen politely asked the nurse beside him.

”He's in the treatment room,” the nurse said.

”Thank you so much.” Xu Wen walked at a leisurely pace toward the treatment room.

The moment Xu Wen stepped inside the treatment room, he stopped in his tracks.

The room was filled with young men in black shirts, black pants, and black leather shoes.

When they heard Xu Wen coming in, those young men turned to look at him too. Their gazes were as sharp as knives that could slice right through a person.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the treatment room, Ling Ran was holding the arm of a young man clad in a black shirt, black pants, and a pair of black leather shoes.

Ling Ran merely raised his head to glance at Xu Wen. He then grabbed the patient's thumb and thenar eminence with one hand and the patient's index, middle, and ring finger with his other hand. He slowly twisted the patient's joint back in place.

Doctors usually treated patients suffering from Colles' fracture by twisting their joints back in place with their bare hands. This maneuver somehow looked really cool and made the doctors seem like bonesetters.

Of course, surgeons would administer anesthetics beforehand.

The injured young man who was clad in a black shirt looked to be in good spirits. He sized Xu Wen up.

Xu Wen lowered his head diffidently as he did not want to meet eyes with the young man. As a surgeon, he treasured his hands very much. Even if he were to win in a fight, he might get his arm injured and this might cost him his career.

When the young man saw that Xu Wen had lowered his head, he felt extremely bored. He then turned to look at Ling Ran, flashed a smile and said, ”Doctor Ling, if you have the time, you can come for one of our shows. They're pretty interesting…”

Ling Ran hummed in acknowledgment.

”No way!” Xu Wen used every ounce of courage in his body to say this. ”Doctor Ling, you shouldn't meddle with such things.”

The young man in a black shirt looked at Xu Wen with a baffled expression. ”Why can't Doctor Ling watch a play?”

”Play? What play? How did you hurt yourself?” Xu Wen asked two questions at once.

The young man in a black shirt furrowed his eyebrows and answered, ”I slipped and fell while performing a stunt.”

”It was an unexpected accident.”

”The stage was too slippery.”

”After we head back, we must request for our university to renovate the practice area.”

The young men who were clad in black shirts flashed bright smiles. They were extremely elated as they got to skip class for half a day courtesy of their injured classmate.

Xu Wen was bewildered.
