Chapter 28: Three Deputy Directors Vouching for Lin Nan?

Page 1 of 3

Lin Nan could not help frowning when he saw Xu Weiwei standing before him.

What was this woman doing here?

“Lin Nan, you were the one who operated on Xiao Liang, weren’t you?” Xu Weiwei exclaimed when she noticed the surgical scrubs he was wearing.

Liu Jiamin stared at Lin Nan in astonishment.

So this young man was Weiwei’s fiancé?

She had heard that Xu Weiwei had a fiancé whom she had grown up with, but she had never met him before. Today was her first time seeing him.

“It was me.” Lin Nan nodded.

Xu Weiwei frowned. “You’re only a resident physician. How could you possibly perform such a complicated operation?”

“Aren’t you endangering the patient by doing this? Isn’t that irresponsible?”

“A resident physician?” Liu Jiamin was stunned. “You aren’t even an attending physician?”

“Not yet,” Lin Nan answered honestly.

Li Qin and Jiang Yuan secretly curled their lips.

What did an attending physician amount to? In front of Lin Nan, the strongest resident physician of them all, they were nothing.

The two men glanced at Xu Weiwei again, quietly wondering what her relationship with Lin Nan was.

But judging from the way she treated him, it did not seem particularly good.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiamin grew anxious as well.

So Lin Nan was not even an attending physician. How had he dared to operate on her younger brother?

“How is Xiao Liang now?” Han Gui hurriedly asked.

“Yes, how is my brother doing?” Liu Jiamin asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry. The operation was a complete success. He’s fine,” Lin Nan said with a smile.

“The operation… was successful?” Liu Jiamin looked utterly shocked.

Her brother’s injuries had been so severe that even the deputy director of the department had only been able to restore his leg to ninety percent of its former condition. Yet Lin Nan was saying that her brother could make a full recovery?

“Really?” Han Gui asked excitedly. “Xiao Liang’s leg can return to how it was before, without any aftereffects?”

“That’s right. As long as he strictly follows the medical instructions and takes good care of himself over the next two months, he’ll make a complete recovery. It won’t have any impact on his career,” Lin Nan said with a nod.

Han Gui’s face flushed with excitement.

He and Xiao Liang had finally made the right gamble.

Xu Weiwei, however, remained skeptical. Frowning, she asked, “Lin Nan, are you sure the operation was truly successful? You weren’t deliberately exaggerating the results, were you?”

Li Qin and Jiang Yuan’s expressions immediately darkened, and they glared at Xu Weiwei in displeasure.

What was wrong with this woman? How dare she accuse their doctor of deceiving the patient’s family?

Liu Jiamin and Han Gui were also taken aback.

In this day and age, would any doctor really dare to falsify the results of an operation?

Hearing Xu Weiwei’s words, Lin Nan looked at her calmly. “Why would I deceive the patient’s family about the results of the operation?”

“What would I gain from that?”

Xu Weiwei met his gaze directly and spoke without reservation. “Lin Nan, I’m not deliberately targeting you. I simply don’t think you have the ability to do this. You aren’t even an attending physician, so how could you possibly complete such a complicated operation successfully?”

She then turned to Liu Jiamin. “Jiamin, I have serious doubts about whether Lin Nan’s operation was as successful as he claims. He may have concealed some of the results. I suggest we ask authoritative specialists from the relevant departments to give Xiao Liang a comprehensive examination, just to ensure his safety.”

Lin Nan was so exasperated that he laughed.

Was this woman out of her mind? How could she suspect him of deliberately exaggerating the success of the operation?

Even Li Qin and Jiang Yuan were beginning to find her unbearable.

It seemed that this woman’s prejudice against Lin Nan ran deep.

“Weiwei, this…” Liu Jiamin hesitated.

She did not believe Lin Nan would be so bold as to exaggerate, or even falsify, the results of the operation.

But Lin Nan really was too young, and that made her feel somewhat uneasy.

Han Gui gazed thoughtfully at Lin Nan without saying a word.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out beside them.

“Lin Nan’s operation was extremely successful. There is absolutely no reason for any of you to doubt it.”

Everyone turned toward the source of the voice.

Bai Yunxiao, Yuan Gang, and Xia Minghui were striding toward them.

Xu Weiwei looked at Bai Yunxiao, who had spoken, and frowned. “And who are you? How do you know Lin Nan’s operation was successful?”

Li Qin had long been irritated by Xu Weiwei’s aggressive manner. He said evenly, “Allow me to introduce him. This is Bai Yunxiao, deputy director of our emergency department.”

“Deputy director of the emergency department?” Xu Weiwei froze, then fell silent.

In a major top-tier hospital, every doctor at the level of deputy director or above was an authority in the field.

“There are high-definition cameras in the operating room. We watched the entire operation performed by Lin Nan, which is why we can say with absolute certainty that it was successful—indeed, it was nearly flawless,” Bai Yunxiao said calmly.

“That’s right. As long as the patient takes proper care of himself, he can make a full recovery and return to his former condition,” Yuan Gang added.

Xia Minghui, standing beside him, nodded as well.

“Let me introduce the others,” Li Qin continued, turning to Xu Weiwei. “This is Yuan Gang, deputy director of the neurology department, and this is Xia Minghui, deputy director of the orthopedics department.”

Xu Weiwei was secretly startled.

All three of them were deputy directors?

It was rare for a top-tier hospital like Linhai University Affiliated Hospital to have three deputy directors gathered together at once.

What surprised her even more was that all three of them were vouching for Lin Nan.

Could it be that Lin Nan’s operation really had been successful?

Did he truly possess such ability?

In her eyes, Lin Nan had always been nothing more than an utterly ordinary resident physician. His medical skills should have been limited. Yet he had managed to successfully perform an operation so difficult that even the deputy directors could not guarantee a perfect outcome.

She found it almost impossible to believe.

Had she underestimated Lin Nan all along?

When she thought of how she had questioned Lin Nan moments earlier, her face suddenly felt hot with embarrassment, and her expression became unnatural.

Seeing the three deputy directors step forward together to vouch for Lin Nan, Liu Jiamin and Han Gui both felt relieved.

Their words carried undeniable weight.

It seemed the operation really had been a success.

“Doctor Lin, thank you for saving my brother,” Liu Jiamin said gratefully.

“It’s my duty as a doctor. There’s no need to thank me.” Lin Nan shook his head.

Liu Jiamin turned to Xu Weiwei. “Weiwei, you misunderstood Doctor Lin just now. Shouldn’t you apologize to him?”

“You want me to apologize to him?” Xu Weiwei slightly furrowed her brows.

“There’s no need for an apology. The patient needs plenty of rest right now, so don’t disturb him,” Lin Nan said indifferently, without even sparing Xu Weiwei a glance.

At that moment, he did not want to say another word to her.

Seeing how completely Lin Nan ignored her, Xu Weiwei felt resentful.

What gave Lin Nan the right to disregard her like that?

In the past, she had been the one to treat him with indifference. Now the situation had reversed, and it made her extremely uncomfortable.

So what if he had successfully performed one operation? What was so impressive about that?

She gave a cold snort inwardly.

“Lin Nan, go change clothes and then come to the office,” Bai Yunxiao said with a smile.

“All right.” Lin Nan hurriedly nodded. Then he headed toward the changing room with Li Qin and Jiang Yuan, intending to take a shower before changing.

Bai Yunxiao and the other two returned to the office as well.

Watching Lin Nan’s departing back, Liu Jiamin could not help saying, “Weiwei, it looks like Doctor Lin isn’t as useless as you made him out to be. At the very least, his medical skills are excellent. In my opinion, he seems like a pretty good person too.”

“Hmph. Being skilled at this kind of operation doesn’t mean he’s skilled at other kinds,” Xu Weiwei replied dismissively, still refusing to take Lin Nan seriously. “A truly outstanding doctor must be competent across the board.”

Liu Jiamin secretly shook her head.

Her best friend’s pride was simply too great.

Before Lin Nan and the others had even reached the changing room, Xiao Li came looking for them.

“Doctor Lin, Doctor Li, another patient came in earlier with his bottom stuffed full of ping-pong balls. But you were still performing the operation, so I had no choice but to make him wait,” Xiao Li said.

“Another one?” Lin Nan exchanged a glance with Li Qin, and they both burst out laughing.

That fellow Ji Zifeng had acted quickly.

“And this one is even worse than the last one. Even more… explosive,” Xiao Li added, her eyes filled with a strange expression.

Lin Nan and Li Qin exchanged another amused glance.

Ji Zifeng had not only acted quickly—he had also been exceptionally ruthless.
