She put away her phone, mentioned something to Su Niannian and the others, and then walked out. Content originally comes from novel•fire.net
As she reached the main entrance and sent the address to the other party, Chi Gui was walking back when, at a corner, she suddenly heard Xia Yong’s roar, "Su Haikang, don’t you think your Su Family is utterly shameless?! When you thought you didn’t need us, Nian Nian and I sought you out, begging for a meeting, but you wouldn’t even see us. Now how do you have the nerve to talk to me about partnering with Tenggui Group?"
Chi Gui paused in her steps.
Immediately after, she heard Su Haikang’s voice, "Xia Yong, I was not around that day, it was my dad who got confused. Indeed, it was his mistake, and I apologize to you on his behalf. But what’s most important now is Xia Ling’s illness, isn’t it? I just asked the attending physician, and Xia Ling urgently needs surgery, right? We just happen to know a brain neurosurgeon from the Capital City Expert Group..."
"No need. We have doctors," Xia Yong coldly refused.
Su Haikang smiled, "The risk of Xia Ling’s surgery is quite significant, the attending physician probably didn’t go into detail with you. This is Academician Wu Zhiyuan; you might want to listen to him explain how high the risks of the surgery are."
Following Su Haikang’s words, an elderly, authoritative voice came through, "Mr. Xia, from what I’ve learned from the attending physician, the tumor has already compressed the patient’s central nervous system, and it is clinging to the nerve. Any slight mishap during the surgery could be fatal."
He paused for a moment, "Even if it’s not fatal, it could likely result in vegetative state or complete paralysis among other conditions..."
Hearing this voice, Chi Gui’s expression became a bit uncomfortable, and she continued walking past.
Xia Yong fell silent.
Standing in front of him now, besides Su Haikang and Yin Xiuxiu, was a serious-looking old man.
Academician Wu Zhiyuan, as the leader of a senior expert group at the medical research institute, was essentially a representative figure of the Huaxia Medical Industry. Xia Yong had seen the old academician on TV many times before, and naturally, he had no reason to doubt his words.
Moreover, he could tell that Academician Wu was not speaking to aid Su Haikang, but was rather explaining the potential surgical risks to the patient as thoroughly as possible, out of professional medical ethics.
Under such circumstances, having a world-renowned neurosurgery expert like Academician Wu operate would obviously be the best choice.
But... regrettably, it was Su Haikang who had brought the academician...
Xia Yong’s fists clenched tightly.
Seeing Xia Yong’s expression, Yin Xiuxiu smiled and spoke, "Mr. Xia, regarding that project with the Tenggui Group, we’re not trying to snatch it, just helping you complete the partnership better. There certainly have been some unpleasantness between our families in the past, and Haikang and I have come here this time to offer a sincere apology..."
As she said this, she looked respectfully at Academician Wu Zhiyuan, "For this purpose, we specifically invited Academician Wu, and that should be enough to express our sincerity, right?"
The rage in Xia Yong’s heart was almost bursting at its seams.
If possible, he would have loved to land a fierce punch on Su Haikang and Yin Xiuxiu each!
It was downright outrageous!
But... his sister’s health mattered more...
Xia Yong was well aware that not just anyone could invite an academician of Wu’s status and influence... if he rejected Su Haikang, he wouldn’t be able to find a better doctor again...
Xia Yong took a deep breath and slowly unclenched his fists.
His heavy gaze turned towards Academician Wu, "If you personally perform the surgery on my sister, what are her chances of recovery?"
"Ninety percent," Academician Wu said earnestly, his demeanor carrying the weight of many years, he looked at Xia Yong, about to say more, when suddenly a somewhat cool female voice came from the side.
"Um... sorry, we’ve already got a doctor here."
