Chapter Nineteen: Unexpectedly Smooth Sailing

Page 1/3

Inside the hospital, in the consultation room.

A group of ophthalmology experts were engaged in a tense and heated discussion.

Guotai Li sat calmly in his chair, leisurely sipping his tea.

Seeing his composed demeanor, Director Liu of Ophthalmology couldn’t help but say, “Director, Wu Bin’s condition is very serious this time. His retina has severely detached, and there’s a high probability he will go blind.”

Guotai Li nodded.

“I’m aware.”

Director Liu was even more puzzled.

“If you know this, Director, why are you so… calm?”

Li smiled.

“Director Liu, you just returned from leave, so you might not be fully informed about Wu Bin’s condition. Here, let me show you his medical records.”

Director Liu was baffled.

No matter what illness Wu Bin had before, Guotai Li shouldn’t be so calm. This was an extremely difficult ophthalmic surgery they were facing.

Liu felt displeased but held back his words.

When the medical records of Wu Bin were opened and laid before Director Liu, he fell silent.

Because the counselor had spoken too loudly, Wu Bin suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital for emergency care?

Then, due to mistakenly ingesting Phytolacca poisoning, he was urgently taken in for gastric lavage and detoxification?

Most critically, this young man had just been discharged from the hospital today?

My goodness!

What on earth is going on here?

Director Liu looked at Guotai Li in astonishment.

“Director, is this medical record genuine? Wu Bin survived all this?”

Guotai Li nodded.

“You can also check his vital signs during the resuscitation.”

“I can say this: if it were an ordinary person, they would have long passed on, probably reincarnated by now.”

“But this young man has been dancing right in front of the King of Hell, and he’s still alive.”

“So now you understand why I’m so calm, don’t you?”

Director Liu nodded repeatedly.

“I understand, completely.”

“But Director, this time is different from the previous two. His retina detachment is too severe; the chance of blindness is very high.”

Guotai Li smiled faintly.

“Let me ask you, is there any chance of recovery?”

Facing the hospital director, Director Liu held nothing back.

“There is a chance, but it’s very small, one in ten thousand.”

If the surgical success rate is one in ten thousand, it’s basically impossible.

Yet Guotai Li said confidently, “Since there’s a chance, then there’s no problem.”

“Just go ahead and perform the surgery boldly and without hesitation. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“There’s one more important thing: all the surgical data must be saved, and the entire procedure must be recorded on video. This will be valuable research material for our hospital.”

Director Liu couldn’t understand Li’s suggestion.

Generally, surgeries with such an extremely low success rate are not even considered, let alone recorded.

Who would want to document a failed operation? That’s just unnecessary trouble.

Yet Guotai Li encouraged Director Liu to follow his instructions, promising he would thank him later.

An hour later, the ophthalmology seminar finally concluded.

Due to Wu Bin’s special status, the doctors seized the moment and immediately wheeled him into the operating room to begin surgery.

He Bingbing and the others waited outside, standing guard for Wu Bin.

The live chat was very lively.

“What’s going on? I just finished the morning shift, and Wu Bin’s being taken into surgery again?”

“We’re all working here—can someone explain what’s happening?”

“You guys missed it live, it was crazy. Today, Wu Bin fiercely confronted a road rage couple and ended up injuring himself badly.”

“True, I was there. The blood spurting from Wu Bin’s eyes was terrifying. Everyone was shocked.”

“So what’s the surgery for this time? Can someone explain?”

Originally, He Bingbing expected the surgery to be dull and thought the livestream audience would drop off.

But the opposite happened.

As more new viewers entered the stream, veteran fans took on the role of explaining Wu Bin’s remarkable exploits from start to finish.

This not only made old fans feel validated but also sparked curiosity among the newcomers.

The viewers even gave Wu Bin a nickname: “Crunchy Shark.”

Fragile on the outside, but hard to kill.

Very fitting.

An hour later, the operating room door opened.

A group of ophthalmologists emerged, excited and thrilled, their expressions identical to those of the senior professors earlier.

Guotai Li, not an ophthalmologist himself, had been waiting outside the whole time.

Seeing the doctors’ demeanor, he immediately guessed the outcome.

Li smiled and asked, “Director Liu, how did it go?”

Director Liu was ecstatic.

“Director, it’s miraculous, truly miraculous!”

“At the start of Wu Bin’s surgery, no one held out much hope, given how severe his retinal detachment was.”

“But during the operation, everything went surprisingly smoothly, as if… as if some divine force was aiding him!”

“Yes, the drug treatment effects were more than tenfold what we usually see. I even thought I had dosed it wrong—it startled me.”

“The most incredible part is that the medication’s side effects showed no change, which is highly unusual!”

“It wasn’t just the medication. When we performed the retinal reattachment and fixation, it went flawlessly.”

“I felt myself enter a completely transcendent and focused state—a state I’ve never reached in all my years of practice!”

Hearing this, He Bingbing stood nearby, stunned.

This was almost surreal.

So, had Wu Bin’s surgery succeeded or not?

Guotai Li understood the doctors’ emotions and quickly smiled to soothe them.

“Alright, I know you’re all excited, but calm yourselves down first.”

“Can someone tell me exactly how the surgery went?”

Prompted by Li, Director Liu remembered to report.

After all, the cameras were rolling and many viewers were eagerly awaiting Wu Bin’s condition.

Director Liu hurriedly said, “The surgery was extremely successful. Wu Bin has an incredibly resilient constitution, and his retina has been fully reattached.”

“As long as Wu Bin rests well and recuperates over the coming period, returning to his pre-surgery state should be no problem.”

As soon as he said this, the viewers erupted in excitement.

“No way, seriously? The report said the success rate was only one in ten thousand before.”

“This is unbelievable. What kind of constitution does Wu Bin have? I want some of that!”

“Are you sure you want it? Hospitalizations anytime, anywhere—I’m afraid your family couldn’t afford those medical bills.”

“The doctor actually said Wu Bin has a strong constitution—made me laugh.”

“In a way, it really is an impressive constitution.”

While the viewers buzzed excitedly, Wu Bin was finally wheeled out of the operating room.
