Li Tianyao looked at An Yan on the big screen.
Her mask concealed most of her face, with her furrowed brows visible above it and two gloved hands raised in front of her eyes. Her fingers moved from time to time.
"Just wait. If she needs help, she’ll contact us!" Li Tianyao said.
An Yan was calculating. Not how to get these people out of the operating room smoothly, but who exactly had poisoned them! This line of thinking, once again, led her back to Tian Zhongren.
She had calculated before, knowing Tian Zhongren was up to no good; if he got into the operating room, the surgery would surely fail. Now, with Tian Zhongren’s identity confirmed by Li Tianyao, her understanding seemed to clear the fog as well, allowing her to deduce more about Tian Zhongren’s activities.
She had initially thought his surname was Tian, but it turned out to be Tanaka! And the surname Tanaka was from R Country!
The primary target of the poisoning was this Xiao Xiaojun! As for the medical staff, they were merely collateral damage, victims of this unwarranted disaster! An Yan had not expected Xiao Xiaojun to be connected to R Country either.
An Yan detested R Country from the bottom of her heart! If it weren’t for them, why would the people on our land have had to endure over a decade of humiliation! Tens of millions of our compatriots were killed by them! Countless resources were plundered! Our beautiful landscapes trampled! Even though our country eventually won that war, R Country, still harboring malicious intentions, afterward planted many of their own inside our nation. An Yan had watched a documentary. In it, these agents were just ordinary people, their long-term undercover lives allowing them to blend into their surroundings, as if they were genuinely part of this land. But that didn’t change their identity one bit. The moment orders came from their superiors, they would stop at nothing to carry out their missions. Just Tian Zhongren, and the drug trafficker on the operating table, their goal was to use drugs to once again weaken our citizens, to turn them back into the ’Sick Men of East Asia’! Such a malicious scheme!
Thinking about this, An Yan ground her teeth together.
This startled Lin Ling, who was next to her. "Miss, is this poison incurable?" Thıs text ıs hosted at novel⟡fire.net
Even though Lin Ling was also a doctor, he didn’t possess An Yan’s ability to simply extract poison with his bare hands. From the previous incident on the island, his understanding of An Yan’s medical skills was that they were just a tiny bit better than his own. But now, he felt Miss An Yan’s medical expertise was far greater! After all, not only was he unable to remove the poison, but he also couldn’t determine its type just by looking at the color of the blood in the patient’s brain. Knowing he was outclassed, he simply stepped back behind An Yan, content to be her assistant.
An Yan didn’t speak. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to; she was angry. She was angry because she could only deduce Tian Zhongren’s actions and contacts, but not the organization behind him! This indicated that there was a highly skilled individual within that organization who had concealed all information related to it.
The others didn’t know what she was thinking and, seeing her silence, assumed the problem was very serious. Everyone’s mood soured.
Outside, Wen Ya kept glancing at Li Tianyao. Even if Miss An Yan couldn’t handle it, Ninth Master surely could. There was nothing in this world that could stump Ninth Master!
Li Tianyao was also watching An Yan. The little girl seemed to have encountered a difficult problem; her small face was tense. Had she forgotten he was outside?
Unconsciously, the aura around Li Tianyao changed. It grew chillingly cold, causing those around him to cast sidelong glances.
Lu Feng silently touched the phone in his pocket, wondering how he could remind Miss An Yan to quickly tell Ninth Master if she was facing any difficulties. If she didn’t speak up soon, the entire conference room would freeze over!
Just when he was about to step out, An Yan stood up and walked in front of one of the cameras.
"Li Tianyao, you help me..."
As her voice sounded, the conference room gradually began to thaw.
Wen Ya silently gave Miss An Yan a thumbs-up! Miss An Yan was always reliable!
At eight o’clock in the evening, the surgery finally ended.
Ya Zhuo placed the last stitch, cut the suture, and the people in front of the operating table stepped back. The nurses began their final round of equipment checks.
Everyone turned their attention to An Yan! In the sterile environment, they were temporarily safe, but once they stepped out of that door, their safety was no longer certain.
Tian Zhongren, after being unconscious for a few hours, finally woke up. His gaze instantly shifted to the large screen. Seeing the surgery had ended, he became excited again.
Come out, come out! Once you do, you’re all finished! The hospital will descend into chaos, and I can seize the chance to escape! HA HA!
As he was gleefully anticipating this, Lu Feng kicked him, and Tian Zhongren fainted again.
Inside the operating room, An Yan said to Su Siming, "I’ll first use the Acupuncture Method to lower your body surface temperature, rendering the virus inactive. Then, go to the shower room and rinse your body thoroughly with plenty of water, ensuring every part of your body is covered with water molecules! Finally, spend thirty seconds in the cryogenic chamber, and that should do it!"
Su Siming, a towering figure, was neither afraid of needles nor the cold!
Seeing his fearless, gung-ho attitude, An Yan suddenly thought of something. She turned to the others and said, "Everyone, pay close attention. If Su Siming shows symptoms of poisoning after he goes out, it means this method doesn’t work!"
"Wait, An Yan, are you saying you’re using me as a guinea pig?" Su Siming felt aggrieved. Considering everyone in this operating room, regardless of their relationship to him, why should *he* be the guinea pig?
An Yan raised an eyebrow. "If you don’t want to be the guinea pig, then go ahead, you pick someone."
Could he even choose? Liang Chen and Ya Zhuo were his brothers who had faced life and death with him on the island. Lin Ling, the doctor on the island who had tirelessly attended to their medical needs, had also essentially saved his life. Members of Ya Zhuo’s team? Though he wasn’t close to them, they were certainly people Ya Zhuo trusted completely. If he dared to suggest one of them, Ya Zhuo would probably bash his head in, right?
As he hesitated, weighing his options, Liang Chen spoke up, "Let me do it, An Yan. I’m a more reliable choice than Su Siming."
"How are you more reliable?" Su Siming retorted, looking at him disapprovingly.
"I shower more thoroughly than you!"
Is this some special trait worth boasting about in front of so many people?
"An Yan," Liang Chen continued, "if Su Siming goes first, what if he doesn’t rinse every part of his body thoroughly and gives us misleading information?"
He wouldn’t die even if he didn’t wash at all, An Yan thought. Although this virus seemed quite potent, it wasn’t resistant to low temperatures. In an environment of minus ten degrees Celsius, its activity would be significantly reduced, and at minus thirty degrees Celsius, it couldn’t survive for even ten seconds. The reason for adding this step was mainly for an extra layer of assurance; with water on the skin’s surface, the temperature would drop more evenly.
When Liang Chen stepped forward, Mu Enyu clenched her fingers, her eyes wide with nervousness.
Seeing this, the corners of An Yan’s lips curved into a smile. "You have a point. Let’s go with you then!"
