Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 976 - 940: Secret Room Surgery

"Buzz..."An Kexin, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the incessant vibration sound of her phone on the bedside table, causing her a headache.

She reached out and grabbed the phone, finding that it was a call from Ling Mengjiao.

As soon as she connected the call, Ling Mengjiao's somewhat anxious voice came through, "President An, the thing you asked me to watch for has finally happened."

"Almost at the same time, on major online forums, especially medical forums, posts claiming to reveal the truth appeared, pointing out that the car that left the hospital when the injured construction worker entered was Lin Jie's Phaeton car."

Though she had anticipated it, the fact that it actually happened made her head ache even more.

An Kexin sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and said, "Mengjiao, don't worry about this matter. Just observe how it develops."

"Just observe how it develops?"

On the other end, Ling Mengjiao seemed a bit incredulous and added, "President An, it's obvious someone is pushing this from behind the scenes; they might use this to severely tarnish Lin Jie's reputation."

"I know."

An Kexin massaged her temples and said, "Once those photos appeared online, Lin Jie had a premonition and believed someone would make a big deal out of it."

"This is really a case of a restless wind when the tree desires tranquility."

She sighed and continued, "Lin Jie feels that what he has done as a good person is enough, and if anyone wants to attack him over this, just let them be. No need to explain or care."

"Let them be, no need to care? President An, I don't quite understand."

An Kexin sighed and said, "This is Ah Jie having a tantrum; it could be understood as him being a bit moody."

"According to his theory, those who deny him over this are brainless fools, and such people will not achieve anything and are not Anlin Hospital's target clientele."

"Though that's what he says, I think Lin Jie is feeling a bit weary."

She said with affection, "Moral coercion incidents have happened to him more than once. Ah Jie is tired of presenting himself as a great and upright figure and wants to live more freely and easily."

An Kexin said with some indignation, "In this day and age, the more selfish people live more freely. The better people live more repressed and troubled lives..."

Lin Jie stepped into the restaurant, which was mainly decorated in red hues with distinct Chinese styling, and noticed the large hall only had two or three tables with scattered customers.

"With such poor business, can the food really be good?" Lin Jie murmured.

Yuan Puzhen heard his whisper and laughed, "Expert Lin, I can assure you that the food in this restaurant is quite good."

"The reason for the sparse customers is mainly because the taste doesn't cater to foreigners' eating habits; it's not well-received among local residents."

"Plus, it's the off-season for tourism in Heidelberg now."

"When the weather gets warmer and more tourists come, more customers will flock here too."

At this time, Yuan Puzhen called out to an approaching middle-aged man with a big belly and a bald head, "Boss Zheng, have the guests I've been waiting for arrived?"

Boss Zheng smiled warmly and said, "They have arrived, they're already here, waiting in the private room. Please, this way!"

Lin Jie followed Yuan Puzhen and Han Chen to the far end of the first floor, stopping in front of a jujube-red wooden door.

When Yuan Puzhen pushed open this heavy wooden door, Lin Jie saw that in the traditionally decorated private room, a long-haired woman with a refined appearance sat at the round dining table.

Besides this woman, Lin Jie did not see anyone else, nor did he notice any surgical equipment in the room.

He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Yuan, are you really just inviting me for a meal, just inviting me to diagnose your friend's condition?"

Yuan Puzhen said with a slightly odd expression, "Expert Lin, this is a restaurant, my friend is here too. If we're not eating and diagnosing, what else could it be?"

He then pointed to the beautiful woman who had stood up and said, "Let me introduce her. Expert Lin, this is my friend, Qin Shuying."

"Qin Shuying, hello!"

Lin Jie greeted the woman in front of him coolly.

At the same time, he felt a bit puzzled. Could it be that Yuan Puzhen was really just sent by the embassy to receive him and the others?

Was there no connection to the matter he discussed with Water Buffalo?

Qin Shuying said softly, "Expert Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've long heard of your esteemed name."

"Yuan Puzhen, enough with the teasing."

She said this to Yuan Puzhen and then seriously said, "Expert Lin, Yuan Puzhen is deliberately teasing you. The three of us have been ordered to assist you with the surgery."

"The patient is ready. Should we head over now, or would you like to eat something first?"

Hearing this, Lin Jie felt a relief of spirit.

This matter had been weighing on his mind for some time, and now that it was finally beginning, he felt a sense of liberation.

Lin Jie glanced over at the earnest-looking Yuan Puzhen and told Qin Shuying, "Having surgery right after dinner affects performance. Let's do the surgery first; it won't take long, I can manage."

"Let's go now!"

Lin Jie was about to leave the private room, but saw Qin Shuying turn towards the wall and press her hand against it.

To Lin Jie's surprise, a hidden door appeared on the flat wall and opened inward.

This excited Lin Jie greatly.

This truly has the feel of an espionage film, such a discreet hidden room.

He followed inside and found a spiral staircase leading down behind the hidden door.

After descending about twenty or thirty steps, he found himself in an underground wine cellar.

Qin Shuying opened another hidden door on a seemingly seamless wall.

Once inside, Lin Jie discovered a spacious area of about thirty to forty square meters.

In the center of the room was an area enclosed with sterile transparent plastic sheets, forming two connected isolation rooms.

In one of the isolation rooms, there were surgical beds, shadowless lamps, an emergency cart, HD monitors, and a ventilator.

Inside, there was also a Caucasian man sitting on the surgical bed.

Qin Shuying introduced, "Expert Lin, although this makeshift operating room is temporary, it is sterile and meets the standards for a field hospital operating room."

"The equipment, medical supplies inside are all prepared according to the list you provided."

Lin Jie nodded, softly saying, "In that case, let's start as soon as possible."

The four entered another isolation room, where they changed into sterile surgical gowns, caps, and masks. After scrubbing their hands and putting on thin rubber surgical gloves, they entered the makeshift operating room.

Lin Jie surveyed the Caucasian man in front of him, who was clearly nervous.

This man appeared to be about forty-five years old, quite handsome, and maintaining a good physique, though his hair was a bit sparse on top.

He comforted him softly in German, "Don't be nervous. Having surgery here is really not much different from having it in a big hospital."

"I'm not nervous, not nervous!"

The Caucasian man forced a small smile, saying, "I know you; you are an exceptionally excellent neurosurgeon. I'm going to be fine, going to be fine."

While checking the instruments, surgical tools, and medicines in the makeshift operating room, Lin Jie introduced, "Your tumor is not complicated. I will make a small surgical passage through your left ear canal directly to your brain tumor."

"Then, using the surgical suction head, I will draw out the tumor little by little."

"If everything goes smoothly, the surgery should be done in three hours."

The Caucasian man nodded, then asked, "And after the surgery?"

Lin Jie explained, "Within the first two days after surgery, you will experience severe headaches. From the third day onward, the headache will noticeably decrease."

"After four days, you should be able to endure and return to work."

Lin Jie checked through the items in the makeshift operating room and, finding nothing amiss, put on his surgical headlamp and asked the Caucasian man, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

The Caucasian man slowly shook his head, taking several deep breaths before saying, "No, for this surgery, I've made all the necessary preparations and arrangements. We can begin."

After saying this, he lay down on the operating table.

At Lin Jie's signal, Yuan Puzhen and Qin Shuying began connecting the monitoring equipment to the Caucasian man for pre-surgery checks and anesthetic tests.

It took over ten minutes for the Caucasian man to fully go under anesthesia.

Yuan Puzhen, Qin Shuying, and Han Chen got into their surgical positions, ready for their respective tasks.

Yuan Puzhen took on the role of Lin Jie's surgical assistant; Qin Shuying served as the anesthesiologist, responsible for monitoring the Caucasian man's physiological values changes; Han Chen was responsible for the duties of the scrub nurse.

Lin Jie took a slender micro scalpel handed by Han Chen and probed into the Caucasian man's left ear canal…
