The car continued driving towards Xifu City as the horizon gradually turned pale.
On the car, the man's condition was becoming increasingly serious.
The man's mother grabbed the woman's arm and pleaded, "Mei, please nod your head and let the doctor save Hu's life!"
The woman looked at the man lying on the ground with worry in her eyes, but she also glanced at Lu Yuan with a hint of hesitation.
Eventually, the woman could only look at the driver Xiao Chen with eyes full of hope, "Driver, please drive faster! I beg you!"
Xiao Chen glanced at Lu Yuan but kept the car moving steadily.
Lu Yuan explained to the woman, "Even if we reach Xifu City faster, it will still take two hours, and he absolutely won't make it."
"Moreover, he should avoid violent jolts now and try to keep things as smooth as possible."
The woman remained unmoved.
Lu Yuan felt helpless. As a doctor, saving lives was his job, but he wouldn't be a self-righteous fool either.
At this moment—
"Are you trying to let my son die?" A shrill scream erupted from the man's mother, and the elderly lady suddenly grabbed the woman's throat in the next second!
The seemingly frail old lady became exceptionally strong at that moment!
She tightly gripped the woman's throat, leaving her unable to break free!
"Urgh—"
In the blink of an eye, the woman's face turned flushed, and she struggled to breathe!
"Nod your head quickly! Let the doctor save Hu!"
"Or I'll choke you to death!"
Lu Yuan silently watched this scene until the woman nodded her head with difficulty towards him. He then took out a pre-prepared liability waiver and an inkpad and handed them to the two women.
"Sign and leave your fingerprints."
The old lady immediately released her hands from the woman's throat, snatched the agreement, quickly signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint.
Then, the old lady glared at the woman.
With a fearful expression, the woman had no choice but to reluctantly sign and leave her fingerprint.
Once the process was complete, Lu Yuan told Xiao Chen, "Stop the car and pull over, come and help."
"Okay!"
"I need the two family members of the patient to make some room. Xiao Chen, stand here, yes, in the middle between me and the two family members."
"Now, hold the patient here. When you see blood, press down with moderate force but quickly, understand?"
Xiao Chen looked perplexed.
What did "moderate force" and "quickly" mean?
How much force was moderate?
How fast was quick?
Seeing Xiao Chen's confused look, Lu Yuan reminded him, "What were you doing from 11:35:07 to 11:42:22 last night?"
"Use the force and speed from those last few critical seconds."
Xiao Chen blinked, then gasped, "Whew—"
He drew in a sharp breath!
How precise was this, down to the second?
That must mean—
Realizing that a doctor had been watching him *** through some secret device and even timing it, Xiao Chen felt a chill down his spine!
"What are you staring at? Hurry up!"
"Oh, oh!"
Xiao Chen mimicked Lu Yuan's actions and pressed down, but he still seemed uncertain as he said, "Dr. Lu, that movement is, well, a bit different from pressing like this!"
Lu Yuan gave Xiao Chen a meaningful look, "Actually, it's the same, you just haven't tried it before."
Xiao Chen: "......"
Next, under the watchful eyes of the three, Lu Yuan took out a surgical knife—
As soon as they saw Lu Yuan with the knife, the old lady and the young woman in the car panicked.
"What are you doing?!"
"Why are you using a knife?"
"Put the knife down!"
Lu Yuan ignored them, raised the knife, and slashed—
A gash suddenly appeared on the man's side!
At the same time, Lu Yuan shouted sternly, "Xiao Chen, press!"
Pffft—
A stream of blood spurted out from the man's body, from the cut Lu Yuan had made!
"Press again!"
Pffft—
"Keep going!"
Pffft—
The third stream of blood was not as intense as the previous ones, and the man, who had previously been violently convulsing, gradually became calm, and his breathing stabilized.
Lu Yuan checked him over, took out gauze, and began bandaging the man.
During the bandaging process, he fixed a tube at the man's incision.
The two women in the car were already terrified. Initially, they wanted to lunge at Lu Yuan, but after the blood spurted out, neither dared to move.
After Lu Yuan finished bandaging the man, the old lady cautiously asked, "Doctor, my son... he..."
Lu Yuan wiped the blood from his hands with a towel and said, "He's fine now. You just need to change the dressings and remove the bandages later at my place."
The old lady and her daughter-in-law exchanged glances, both eyeing Lu Yuan's still-bleeding surgical knife, and remained silent.
After Xiao Chen wiped the blood from his hands, the ambulance returned to Yun City.
The most urgent situation had been resolved, and the following work was left to two nurses. Lu Yuan went back to sleep.
Before noon, the man woke up.
Upon hearing that he was at a clinic in the eastern suburbs, the man was terrified and immediately requested to have the tube removed, bandages taken off, and be discharged.
When it came time to settle the medical fees, seeing the ambulance fee, medication cost, and doctor's service fee adding up to only 480 yuan, the man could hardly believe it.
"Doctor's service fee... two hundred?"
Liu Yuan explained, "How much could you charge for just slicing someone's body?"
"If it were a surgical service fee, it would be far more than this."
The man thought about it, then ultimately slid his finger and added an extra zero.
The money was transferred.
Seeing the transfer record on her phone, Liu Yuan frowned and said, "You transferred too much. Wait a moment, I'll transfer the extra back to you."
"No need!"
Without further ado, the man led his wife and mother out the door, looking as if a ghost was behind them.
"So strange..."
Liu Yuan muttered but still transferred the extra money the man had sent back to him.
But a few minutes later, the man transferred the money back again, with an additional message: The three of us thank you for saving a life and not killing us!
This time, Liu Yuan didn't bother being polite with the man. If he didn't mind the extra money, her boss wouldn't mind either.
......
In the afternoon, at sunset, Lu Yuan woke up groggily.
After getting up and washing, the first thing Lu Yuan did was crawl into the bushes behind the medical school and release his over two hundred syringe bees.
Since they had mechanical brain components, all the syringe bees could be controlled through his phone's program.
After familiarizing himself with the controls for a while, Lu Yuan grinned and headed to the pond near the medical school.
As expected, the masked girl in a second-hand style was folding paper by the lake again.
This time, even before Lu Yuan approached her, he took out a new game controller and manipulated the two-headed alligator to emerge from the lake.
Lingling glanced at the fierce three-headed alligator but didn't even look back, simply raising her middle finger.
Swish—
The two-headed alligator swept its tail, splashing a wave of water that drenched Lingling.
The second-hand girl casually picked up the wooden carving of the two-headed dragon, bit her fingertip to draw blood, and then dripped a drop of blood onto it.
Subsequently, two dragon roars echoed across the pond.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan controlled the two-headed alligator to wag its tail at the two-headed dragon.
In no time, the dragon and the alligator king were engaged in a fierce battle.
The second-hand girl didn't notice, but on Lu Yuan's side, he had stealthily released a black, bee-like creature...
Ten minutes later.
"Wasting time on frivolous pursuits!" Enraged, Lu Yuan once again smashed the controller to pieces.
However, this time, as he turned to leave, a sly grin spread across his face.
"Tsk, tsk, there'll be dragon babies to play with in a few days~"
Indeed, Lu Yuan used his precious released item to tap on the exquisite double-headed flying dragon.
In the evening, since he had slept all day, Lu Yuan wasn't sleepy at all, so he ended up playing with his nest of little dragon sculptures in the consultation room.
After many days, this nest of little dragon sculptures had grown bigger, with their tiny fleshy wings starting to take shape.
Lu Yuan planned to wait until they grew a bit more, then use his time control ability to help them mature.
Next to the nest of little dragon sculptures, the Bao Bao doll had a sulky look on its face.
The little one realized that it seemed to have been ignored.
Lu Yuan did it on purpose.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, a phone call interrupted Lu Yuan's enjoyment.
It was Boss Wang from the Xia Group calling.
"Dr. Lu, the Xifu City Inspection Bureau sent back three corpses, saying the deceased had signed organ donation agreements and wanted to give them to you to save more people."
Lu Yuan was taken aback, "What's the situation?"
"I'm not too clear on that either."
"I'm asking about the situation with those corpses."
"A family of three, an elderly person, a woman, and a man."
"The woman wrote the will, with just three sentences on it."
"In my life, I've only been to the hospital twice, and it was on the same day."
"One time let me feel hope and warmth in the shadow of losing my most beloved;"
"The other time, in the midst of my heart's joy, plunged me into an abyss ten thousand fathoms deep."
