Ren blinked slowly at the gathered team, confusion reflecting in his eyes.
Only Fang understood what that meant. "Ren," he asked in a quiet voice. "Do you have a way to save her?"
Ren nodded. "Surgery," he said. "We have to clean up and seal the rupture in her brain, if there's a rupture, and we have to remove the contusion if there is one – that's all."
Everyone stared at Ren.
"Do you even know what a complicated surgery this is going to be?!" one of the professors shouted. "There is no one capable of doing it!"
Ren's golden eyes flashed with anger. "So you want us to let her die without even making an effort?" he asked in a very cold voice.
Everyone in the room (and most were easily twice the age of Ren) shivered involuntarily.
"It's not a matter of whether we want to or not," another professor murmured. "Chairman Ren, it's just that we don't have the expertise for a complicated surgery like this…"
"I'll do it," Ren said coldly. He took five minutes and explained the exact procedure that he was planning to follow.
It left everyone stunned. It was definitely a complicated surgery – but with how precisely Ren had explained it, it seemed like it was quite doable! And Ren spoke with such authority and such precision that no one could find a single fault in the solution at all!
Ren, who was quite irritated by this timid bunch of so called renowned international experts, sneered. "Do you guys have the competence to assist me, or do you want everything to be left to me?" he demanded in a cold voice.
"I'll help you," Fang said immediately.
The Head Nurse, who had also been called, spoke up as well. "I'll help you, too, Chairman Ren," she said, very impressed by the young man who suddenly looked as tall as a mountain in her eyes.
Several others volunteered, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, anaesthetists.
In fact, everyone wanted to volunteer – but then were a little embarrassed at the moment, especially the veteran ones, who had given up on the little girl's life without even trying to think of a solution, while this young boy, who had just started learning medicine formally, had devised such a clear, logical and perfect solution, and was ready to take on such a huge responsibility without the slightest bit of hesitation!
But then, the veterans were also in a dilemma. Chairman Ren, no matter how amazingly talented he might be, was not even a fully qualified doctor yet. How could they allow him to undertake such a crucial surgery? What would they do if something went wrong – and it was revealed that they had allowed a mere student, who had been learning medicine for less than half a year, to take up such a dangerous and complicated surgical procedure? Wasn't this too irresponsible?
All veteran eyes turned to the Director, who cleared his throat hesitantly.
Ren turned to him and raised an eyebrow. He understood the concern immediately. "Liability issue?" Ren asked.
The Director flushed and nodded.
Ren was a bit mollified. At least these people, even though cowardly, had decent professional ethics.
"I will speak to the father myself, and I will assume liability for this entire procedure. If I can't save Tom's daughter today, I will leave medical school and never practice medicine for the rest of my life," Ren declared.
Everyone was stunned.
"Ren!" Fang cried, appalled.
Ren chuckled and patted Fang's cheek affectionately to reassure him.
And just like that, the matter was settled. The Director and the veterans also calmed down, and more people volunteered to help Ren with the operation. If they found that something was going wrong during the surgery, they would take over immediately and focus on saving the child's life, no matter what!
Ren had no objections – quite the contrary, he liked their sense of responsibility. If they had let him do the surgery without planning for damage control and telling him that they'll pull him off and work to save the child and preserve her current state if things started going wrong during the surgery, Ren would actually have been rather disappointed with this group of experts they had hired. One of the biggest things that Ren, Fang and Pax were very careful about when hiring was the work ethics of a person. Knowledge gap and skill gap could always be bridged if a person was willing to work hard and had good work ethics, but work ethics and an innate sense of responsibility which came from people's hearts – and this was not something that could be taught. Ren would always prefer to hire a hard working and honest but average person rather than a brilliant but dishonest person.
Ren quickly chose a small team and asked for an operation theatre to be readied. Then he strode out with Fang at his heels. A few members of the team chosen by Ren just now also followed him.
As they walked out of the room, they found the five members of the Blue Wolves who were in class with Ren and Fang (well, mostly in class with them – since Ren and Fang were in the accelerated study programme especially curated for the two of them that normal mortals were not worthy of even imagining) waiting for them. Tom was their friend and colleague – so of course they were very worried about the situation. They all knew how much Tom adored and doted on his only child – and she was a cute little girl, too.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Dale asked anxiously.
Ren tapped his chin and selected three of them to go into the operation theatre with him and the others. Dale and two other members of the Blue Wolves, who had been chosen, went with some team members to help with preparing the operation theatre, and the other doctors, who had just been briefed by Ren, explained the details to the three medical students who were members of the Blue Wolves.
To be honest, even the seasoned veterans had been stunned when Ren had explained what he wanted to do.
Ren walked over with some of the team members and Fang to where Wolf and Tom were waiting.
"What is the situation?" Wolf asked, looking at the solemn look on Ren's face.
"We have to operate immediately," Ren said, looking at Tom instead. He briefly explained what was wrong and how he planned to perform the surgery.
Tom understood that it was serious business – but he had full faith in Chairman Ren.
"Please save my daughter, Chairman Ren," Tom pleaded with tears in his eyes. "This surgery is her only chance, isn't it?"
Ren nodded.
"Would you – would you be personally involved?" Tom asked in a small voice.
Ren nodded.
"Thank you!" Tom cried gratefully. "Thank you, Chairman Ren! I know that my little girl will be safe in your hands!"
Ren was a bit taken aback by this show of faith, but then a small smile made his lips curl up. He reached out and patted Tom's shoulder. "Don't worry. Your little girl will be fine," he said softly.
Then Ren turned around and left, and Fang and the members of the team of doctors who had followed Ren hurried after the man.
Wolf brought Tom to the hospital canteen and the two of them had a slow meal. Ren had already told them that the surgery was very intricate, and would last several hours. So they were not in a hurry at all. In fact, Tom was not hungry in the least – after all, how could he be when his precious little angel, the light of his life, the only family member he had left – when his little baby girl was undergoing such massive surgery? But then, he knew that Wolf would not let him go without eating his meal – and he was very grateful that his Boss Wolf cared so much about his subordinates that he was actually sitting here and waiting along with him for the sake of his daughter.
But then, didn't Boss Wolf have a lot of work? Tom glanced at Wolf, who was casually sipping the cola in his hand at a leisurely pace, looking like there was no need to hurry about anything in the world. His calm demeanour soothed Tom's wrecked nerves as well. In fact, half the faith that Tom had in Chairman Ren came because he would trust Boss Wolf with anything and everything – and since Boss Wolf often said that if Ren promised something, he would definitely do it – and Chairman Ren had especially told Tom that he would save his daughter – Tom had felt the weight on his shoulders lighten considerably. Of course, it would be fully gone only after his little girl was out of danger!
Tom glanced at Wolf again. "Boss Wolf," he said softly. "Didn't you have a meeting with the Jungle Dogs today?" he asked.
"Claw will handle it," Wolf said simply.
"But – but didn't they say that they specifically wanted to meet you to discuss a deal?" Tom asked.. He remembered that some of the Blue Wolves had been talking about this earlier.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Ren blinked slowly at the gathered team, confusion reflecting in his eyes.
Only Fang understood what that meant. "Ren," he asked in a quiet voice. "Do you have a way to save her?"
