Outside.
The doctors exchanged glances. The old professor leading them sighed, "We've done all we can, and now it's up to fate. We've tried our best."
"Inform the patient's family of their condition."
A doctor nodded and walked to the door. Before he could speak, he was surrounded by Tao Qiyue and the others.
The doctor looked at the faces filled with expectation, unwilling to say the words. Tao Qiyue, with teary eyes, said, "Doctor, tell me, what exactly is wrong with Chen Jin Zhao? Has he woken up?"
Xu Hanchen also leaned in to listen, wanting to get the latest update on Chen Jin Zhao.
"Alas..."
"Everyone, please calm down. First, I must say that our hospital has done everything it can. It's just that the patient is too deeply poisoned. His heart rate has slowed down, and what's worse, his internal organs are on the verge of failure."
"Even if we continue the rescue, there is a ninety-nine percent probability that it will be in vain. So, we want to seek your opinion: do you want to continue?"
"Or... give up treatment?"
Tao Qiyue swayed, nearly falling to the ground.
Number Nine quickly supported Tao Qiyue and whispered, "He'll be alright. You have to believe him."
Xu Hanchen closed his eyes and opened them after a long while. He said, "He must be saved. No matter the cost, bring him back! If Chen Jin Zhao dies in your hospital, I will hold you accountable."
The doctor broke out in a cold sweat and quickly assured them that they would try even harder. He then turned and returned to the operating room to continue the treatment.
Xu Hanchen was unsettled. He admitted that he had spoken too harshly just now. He wasn't usually so unreasonable. However, Chen Jin Zhao's safety was what he valued most. If Chen Jin Zhao were to die, Xu Hanchen would truly be alone.
From another perspective, he already regarded Chen Jin Zhao as his junior.
He could not bear to see Chen Jin Zhao die.
Seeing this, Man Xiong also stepped forward to comfort the elder. Xu Hanchen's eyes welled up with tears. "Actually, I should have stopped him. That way, he wouldn't have been in danger. Damn Divine Kingdom, I will flatten it!"
"Man Xiong, immediately return to the Northeast Military Command and assemble three thousand elite soldiers. If Chen Jin Zhao does not wake up, I will personally lead these three thousand soldiers to flatten the Divine Kingdom Pharmaceuticals and arrest everyone from the Wu family for interrogation!"
"Elder Xu, think thrice!" Man Xiong knew the consequences of such actions.
The damage would be irreversible.
Xu Hanchen's gaze gradually turned cold. "These people have gone mad. To deal with them, we must be even more insane than they are."
"But doing so will earn you millions of infamy," Man Xiong still tried to persuade him.
Xu Hanchen gave a bitter smile. "Child, I can no longer bear to see these arrogant bastards trample on innocent people. If I can exchange my reputation for the downfall of these families, isn't that a very worthwhile deal?"
"I will die too, it's all the same, isn't it?"
Man Xiong was deeply moved, realizing that the elder might have made up his mind. He nodded and said, "Elder Xu, please allow me to follow by your side and flatten the Divine Kingdom!"
Xu Hanchen nodded.
Man Xiong left in a hurry. A storm of blood and violence was about to arrive.
Number Nine had heard their whispered conspiracy from afar. He turned blankly to look out the window. The heavy snow had stopped, so why did it feel even colder?
This winter was colder than in previous years.
In the operating room, the top doctors from the three northern provinces were gathered. But now, they faced a difficult situation—
Chen Jin Zhao's condition was too dire; he had almost lost all hope of survival.
With everyone's efforts, Chen Jin Zhao's heartbeat grew weaker and weaker, until it finally stopped. The old professor stiffened, and seeing this, he sighed, "In the end, it's beyond recovery. Let's make one last effort, then inform the family to make funeral arrangements."
The so-called last effort was merely a formality, a way to prove that they were still trying to save Chen Jin Zhao's life.
Several doctors worked silently, seeing Chen Jin Zhao off on his final journey.
"Professor!"
"Professor, quickly look at this situation?!"
A younger doctor suddenly exclaimed. The old professor frowned at the sound, "Xiao Li, you must not make loud noises in the operating room. Don't you even have this basic awareness?"
Xiao Li was wearing a mask, but his terror was visible in his eyes. He pointed a trembling finger at the heart rate monitor's display screen and stammered, "No, you all quickly look at the patient's heart rate. I've never seen anything like this."
Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the heart rate monitor's display.
The previously flat heart rate line began to fluctuate again. As Xiao Li spoke, it had already returned to a normal level. The operating room fell silent, so quiet that not a needle could be heard. No one knew what was happening.
Thump, thump, thump!
A strong heartbeat sounded, like a war drum, and everyone in the operating room heard this terrifying heartbeat.
"This..."
Even the highly respected old professor was perplexed.
This was the strangest thing he had encountered in his many years of medical practice.
After a brief moment of shock, the old professor immediately reacted and said to his subordinate doctors, "Everyone, return to your positions and conduct a full body examination of the patient, especially a more detailed check of his internal organs. Also, all of the patient's bodily data indicators will be classified as top secret. No one is to reveal them."
"Any violation will be dealt with by military law."
The doctors already knew Chen Jin Zhao's identity, and with a titan from the military waiting outside, they had no courage to leak the data.
Several doctors began to orderly check Chen Jin Zhao's physical data indicators and were astonished to find that not only had his heartbeat returned to normal, but it was even healthier than that of an ordinary person.
What surprised these doctors even more was that not only the heart had recovered, but the internal organs that were on the verge of failure had also healed.
There was also no trace of poison in his blood.
The old professor looked at Chen Jin Zhao in shock, murmuring, "Is this still human? I've never seen such a terrifying human."
If even the old professor was like this, let alone the slightly younger doctors.
"What we have seen and heard today must not be revealed to anyone, understand?" The old professor, still uneasy, reiterated seriously.
"And also—"
"Xiao Li, go out and report to General Xu that the patient is out of danger, so he doesn't worry too much."
Xiao Li quickly nodded, "Okay!"
Meanwhile.
Chen Jin Zhao found that his dissipating consciousness was gradually consolidating. First, his hearing recovered, then his sense of touch, and finally, he even realized he could feel his limbs. If this continued, he would wake up soon.
He didn't understand what was happening.
But now was not the time to think about this. He wished he could recover immediately and then unleash slaughter upon the Divine Kingdom.
Outside the operating room.
Everyone stared intently at Xiao Li after hearing his report, putting immense pressure on him.
Xu Hanchen, in particular, exuded such a powerful aura that Xiao Li could barely breathe. He stammered, "Everyone, every word I say is true. If there is even half a lie, you can take my head at any time."
Xu Hanchen was overjoyed and laughed heartily, "Good, good, good. Now I can rest assured."
"He truly didn't disappoint me!"
