Chapter 212: Chapter 203: Ignorance Is Not Your Fault
Liang Tianze didn’t believe that Xiao Lin dared to take any action against him. As Xiao Lin said, if Xiao Lin had malicious intent, given his skills just displayed, he would have acted long ago, so why wait until now? However, when it came to professional issues in the field of medicine, Liang Tianze naturally had his own ideas and opinions. He couldn’t believe that a young man in his twenties could treat such a patient. He wouldn’t hand over such a patient to a doctor so young, especially a Chinese medicine doctor.
Even though Xiao Lin demonstrated impressive skills, with the kind of legendary point acupuncture in his hands, Liang Tianze was only surprised. Although he hadn’t heard of the real existence of point acupuncture, he knew Huaxia was vast and filled with bizarre people and events. Having such a martial art was not too unbelievable, and even if that patient’s condition was sent to the best hospital abroad and treated by the best doctors, there wouldn’t necessarily be a fifty percent chance of success. As for kidney diseases, Liang Tianze believed that even on an international scale, he ranked among the top five, having been nominated for the prestigious Nobel Prize three years ago—though he didn’t win, the nomination itself was a tremendous honor.
You’re good at point acupuncture, but you can only use it to kill, not to save.
To this, Xiao Lin laughed. Though the elderly man before him was very diligent, Xiao Lin felt quite helpless with this kind of self-confidence that seemed only to believe in oneself. Frankly speaking, Xiao Lin was also someone like Liang Tianze, who would stubbornly stick to what he believed was right.
"Ignorance isn’t your fault, but flaunting your ignorance is uncalled for!" Xiao Lin gave no face to Liang Tianze because this skill of point acupuncture had saved many comrades. Point acupuncture could kill, but it can also save lives. Xiao Lin looked at Liang Tianze and then glanced at Li Jing behind him, returning Liang Tianze’s words back to him: "As you said, my purpose is to save people, not to kill them, and this isn’t universally applicable to all patients. Did you consider whether her body could still withstand such drug stimuli before you prescribed the medication? For a condition like Niu Niu’s mother’s, I know her biggest problem currently lies with her kidneys, but have you thought about whether her body can endure such high-risk surgery at this time? In the worst case, even if your medical skills are advanced enough to allow her to undergo the surgery, what about post-operative rejection issues?"
Liang Tianze looked at Xiao Lin, seeming thoughtful. What Xiao Lin mentioned was precisely his concern. Kidney sources may be difficult for others, but for Liang Tianze, and perhaps for Yan University Hospital, they were not problematic. The real issue now was whether the patient’s body condition allowed for a kidney transplant, and whether the rejection after the transplant could be within the patient’s tolerance range. It seemed that this young man wasn’t unaware of the patient’s situation.
Even so, Liang Tianze still did not change his original intention or his principle of insistence. Talking is easy, but doing is difficult.
"I don’t believe you can restore her physical condition. Facts speak louder than words. Letting you mess around these past two days, the patient’s condition has deteriorated day by day. If I hadn’t come today, whether the patient could make it through the night would still be in question!" Liang Tianze did not relent. Though Xiao Lin spoke eloquently with some viewpoints that even if standing on the opposite side, Liang Tianze couldn’t help but agree with, the reality was that the security failed to stop him, and instead allowed him to display a skill, shocking everyone. Now, all he could do was wait for the police.
Estimating that the police would arrive soon, delaying until then would make things easier. He didn’t believe the other party dared to attack the police. Such a charge wasn’t something anyone could bear, regardless of his skills. Would he dare to face the police’s guns?
"Even if you hadn’t come, the patient wouldn’t have encountered problems!" Xiao Lin declared firmly.
Seeing their relentless argument, Li Jing standing aside was at a loss, standing motionlessly. Liang Tianze was now reluctant to provoke Xiao Lin, fearing that Xiao Lin might do something extreme. Therefore, he didn’t issue any commands to Li Jing, but Li Jing, observing their debate and Xiao Lin’s display, pondered and intervened: "Director, what should I do now?"
Seeing Li Jing’s inquiry, Liang Tianze had little reason to dodge further. He looked at Xiao Lin and said solemnly: "Young man, the patient’s condition is very urgent, and I can see that you also want the patient to recover quickly. Can we first have the nurses help stabilize the patient’s condition? We can discuss other matters later?"
"Alright!" Xiao Lin replied lightly.
"Then please go in and help the patient with the infusion and medication!" Seeing Xiao Lin agree, Liang Tianze slightly relaxed and instructed Li Jing.
Li Jing hadn’t taken a step when Xiao Lin added, "I agreed to stabilize the patient’s condition, but not for you to harm her. If she is to be saved, it must be me, and among those present, I am the only one who can save her!" Xiao Lin’s tone was very assertive, sounding confidently optimistic to some while slightly arrogant to others. Nonetheless, Xiao Lin was simply stating the truth, not arrogance.
"You... You are unreasonable!" Liang Tianze couldn’t help but exclaim; this was truly infuriating.
"I am simply stating facts; right now, only I can save her!" Xiao Lin’s tone mirrored Liang Tianze’s prior sentiment.
This really exasperated Liang Tianze, who had never been humiliated like this before. Him, a renowned international kidney expert, being told by a young man probably still in university that he couldn’t treat a patient with uremia-induced complications, that only the young man had the capability.
Just then, the rescue Liang Tianze had been eagerly anticipating finally arrived. He heard a commotion outside, with faint voices of doctors and nurses: "Police, in that room, be careful—I’ve heard the young man inside is skilled in martial arts, and quite adept!"
Hearing this, Liang Tianze instinctively stepped back two paces, standing behind two young doctors. One of them moved aside, not daring to take the risk of facing Xiao Lin’s methods, while the other, though momentarily stunned, resolutely stood behind Liang Tianze. At this time, Liang Tianze frowned, while the young doctor who had moved aside regretted missing the opportunity to impress, contemplating potential repercussions.
In their eyes, seeing Xiao Lin’s display of point acupuncture, he was a highly dangerous figure. Now that the police had arrived, one couldn’t rule out the possibility of the other party taking a hostage. Such a reaction was human nature, but from that moment, as long as the young doctor who moved aside remained at Yan University Hospital, no one would dare entrust him with significant tasks.
It was just a minor episode.
Regarding their actions, Xiao Lin helplessly chuckled, naturally not considering any of them as hostages, instead taking out his phone and dialing a number in their presence.
After three rings, the police arrived. Though not fully armed, each officer carried a taser. The leader appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six, with even a sidearm at his waist, looking quite imposing. Seeing the room full of doctors and nurses with a young man in his twenties in the middle, he knew he was looking at one of the mission targets. Upon entering, he shouted, "Drop your weapon, come with us!" Having heard outside about the young man’s skills, the police officer didn’t dare to get too close, using his voice to restrain first.
Xiao Lin connected the call without glancing at the police who entered, speaking into the phone, "Director Lin, there’s an issue here. Some police have arrived wanting to take me!"
The person on the other end, Lin Zhifang, was now willing to take Xiao Lin’s calls, though whenever Xiao Lin visited, it brought trouble, such trouble was abundantly beneficial. Each police dispatching could earn him high praise above, even allowing meetings with Hua Muyun—an unexpected honor for Lin Zhifang.
"Huh? Police are here to take you? Alright, I understand. Please pass the phone to them!" Lin Zhifang said urgently. Which area’s police were so blind?
Of course, this was merely Lin Zhifang’s internal complaint. Xiao Lin had done several significant things in Yanjing, but this was limited to the SWAT team internally; external police rarely knew of Xiao Lin’s existence.
Xiao Lin handed over the phone with a smile, "Director Lin’s call for you to take!"
The leading officer hesitated slightly, "Director Lin? I don’t know any Director Lin!" But considering Xiao Lin’s confident demeanor, which didn’t seem like a prank, after hesitating asked, "Director Lin? I don’t know any Director Lin!"
"Really? You don’t know Director Lin Zhifang?" Xiao Lin’s lips slightly curled into a smile. Judging by this officer, he seemed to be a local patrol officer, at most deputy section level, far from Lin Zhifang’s reach. Still, one would have thought he knew Lin Zhifang’s name.
"Who’s Lin Zhifang?" The head instinctively uttered, and then broke into a sweat, realizing what the name represented—the next Director of Yanjing Bureau, Lin Zhifang. Though he hadn’t had the fortune to meet him, he knew of his superiors. His demeanor towards Xiao Lin instantly transformed, showing a self-perceived amiable smile, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, thank you!"
Then, he took Xiao Lin’s phone, moved aside to the door, and answered the call without avoiding the others present.
Watching the officer nodding repeatedly, saying a string of "Yes," with slight sweat on his forehead in the cool evening, illustrated the pressure the phone caller exerted on him. (To be continued.
