Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Preparing for Treatment_1

Xu Fan looked toward the source of the voice and saw the Doctor Lu he had met last night hurriedly approaching, with Zhou Xian following helplessly behind, apologizing to Xu Fan from a distance with a smile.

“Is it you? Which corner did you come out of, daring to boast that you can cure acute kidney failure?” Doctor Lu’s face was grim, and as soon as he approached, he reprimanded Xu Fan incessantly.

“Are you asking me? Teaching me how to do my job?” Xu Fan glanced at him indifferently and said, “Just do as I told you, and don’t worry about anything else.”

Doctor Lu sneered coldly and said harshly, “I am reasoning with you, don’t mess around. Do you understand Zhou Xiaofu’s condition? It’s extremely serious. We need to be very careful even when visiting her, for fear of another infection. And now you actually want to transfer her to a general ward? That’s absolutely not okay. It will definitely cause problems. Who will be responsible then, you or me?”

“Young man, leave the professional work to the professionals. You, a charlatan, trick the patient’s family members to earn blood money, which could kill the patient. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Then, he turned his head and said with utmost importance, “Zhou Xian, listen carefully. We already have a suitable kidney source. You just need to prepare the money for the surgery. Trust in the doctor’s skills and judgment.”

Seeing Doctor Lu arguing so passionately on behalf of the patient with a strong sense of responsibility, Xu Fan was slightly taken aback, but recollecting Doctor Lu’s behavior the previous night, he immediately dismissed the righteous image he had just portrayed.

His purpose was nothing more than to gain some benefits, and Xu Fan had obstructed his chance at making money.

As for whether the surgery would succeed or not, that wasn’t really what Doctor Lu cared about. Given Zhou Xiaofu’s serious condition, if the surgery failed, the doctors wouldn’t have to take responsibility.

Xu Fan sneered and questioned, “You make it sound good, but can you guarantee that the surgery won’t fail? Can you cure Zhou Xiaofu completely?”

“A doctor’s duty is to save lives and alleviate suffering. Once a patient enters the hospital, no matter their condition, we will do everything we can to find the most suitable and safest treatment plan for them. Surgery is the key to a kidney transplant. No one can guarantee that there won’t be complications during the operation. All I can guarantee is that my conscience is clear!”

Doctor Lu spoke with moral integrity, but in the end, it was just the same old rhetoric.

Xu Fan looked at him coldly and said impatiently, “Are you finished? If you’re done, then leave. Since you can’t guarantee complete assurance, let me handle it.”

“You…” Doctor Lu was infuriated, but he still forcibly restrained his anger and said, “Are you implying that you have a one hundred percent certainty of curing Zhou Xiaofu completely?”

“Yes,” Xu Fan responded emphatically.

“Heh, are you bragging without a draft?”

Doctor Lu, filled with disdain, didn’t even want to communicate with this madman anymore. He turned to Zhou Xian and said, “Mr. Zhou, your sister’s condition is very grave. The hospital has been monitoring her closely. We understand her situation deeply. If not for advanced medical equipment and dialysis technology, your sister couldn’t have held on until now. I can guarantee it, transferring her to a general ward is the worst decision; it will definitely worsen her condition, and I cannot bear that responsibility.”

“You dare not take responsibility, I dare!”

Xu Fan stepped forward, his tone firm.

Doctor Lu immediately retorted, “Inexperienced and unreliable. You’re young and don’t know the gravity of the situation, completely unaware of how disaster comes from the mouth.”

Seeing this stubborn and unyielding attitude from Doctor Lu, and realizing they were on his turf in the hospital, Xu Fan avoided resorting to violence and simply said, “Zhou Xian, I can’t be bothered to talk anymore. This matter is up to you. I suppose you’re the one who most wishes for your sister’s full recovery, and my time and patience are limited.”

“Zhou Xian, he’s threatening you! People like him, when they can’t reason with you, will force you. You absolutely must not trust anything he says. The hospital has organized a team of experts to discuss Zhou Xiaofu’s condition, and they unanimously agree that we must be incredibly cautious and are currently seeking the best possible solution. By the way, there have always been a lot of swindlers around the hospital, with a variety of schemes, even operating in gangs. If you believe them by mistake, the ones who will suffer in the end will only be you and your sister.”

Doctor Lu glanced at Xu Fan and spoke with great righteousness.

“Doctor Lu, I remember you said just now that we could start the surgery as long as we pay. Why is it that now there’s not even a plan in place?” Zhou Xian scrutinized Doctor Lu, questioning him in a calm voice.

His special forces king’s aura was not in vain, deliberately released, causing Doctor Lu to shudder, his back growing cold.

Intuition told him: if the treatment failed, Zhou Xian was capable of anything.

He dared not argue anymore and with an embarrassed expression said, “This…this is roughly in order… only the final details to be hammered out.”

“I see,” Zhou Xian could tell he was lying and said impatiently, “If you keep making excuses and prevent my sister from moving out, I will have someone investigate you and hold you accountable for your repeated mistruths.”

Doctor Lu’s face turned ugly, and, grinding his teeth, he threw down a harsh threat: “This is your own doing. If something goes wrong, the hospital will not be held responsible.” With that, he flung his sleeve and left angrily.

“Boss, I really fucking want to teach him a lesson,” Zhou Xian said with malice as he watched the departing figure.

“Sigh… hold back!” Xu Fan sympathized yet offered the right attitude, “There are plenty of rotten people in this world. If you keep picking fights, you’ll wear yourself out one day.”

“That’s true,” Zhou Xian very much agreed with him.

Over half an hour later, Zhou Xiaofu was escorted by a nurse into a private ward.

Zhou Xian sat beside the bed, smiled with a look of distress, and said, “Xiao Fu, this time your brother will definitely cure you. My boss here is no ordinary person, you know.”

“Brother, I believe you,” Zhou Xiaofu replied with a pale face, even speaking seemed difficult.

Doctor Lu stood outside the door, his face wearing a smirk that seemed to revel in another’s misfortune, and he advised again, “Zhou Xian, this is all your decision because you misplaced your trust in some charlatan. If something happens to your sister, the hospital has the right to disregard any pursuit or litigation from you.”

Zhou Xian chuckled, looking at him nonchalantly, “Keep your heart in your belly. I signed the waiver voluntarily.”

Doctor Lu continued, “Such a beautiful girl in the prime of her youth, it’s hard to bear seeing her suffer at the hands of a villain. It’s a pity and a shame!”

Then, glancing out of the corner of his eye toward Xu Fan, he said unabashedly, “I must stay here. If your sister really has an accident, I might be able to save her in time.”

Even using the pretext of emergency care, he actually couldn’t wait to witness a farce, then to kick someone when they were down, and mock and ridicule them.

Understanding Doctor Lu’s thoughts, Xu Fan couldn’t help but sneer, “You can stay, but what I’m using is a secret family technique, not for outsiders to watch, so wait outside for news.”

“Your so-called secret family technique is bullshit, you’re getting cocky now? In my opinion, you’re nothing but a soon-to-be disciplined charlatan,” Doctor Lu said righteously indignant.

“You sure can run your mouth, my ears are calloused from all your jabber, one more word and believe it or not, I’ll feed you earwax.”

The Bull Demon couldn’t stand it any longer, he clenched his fists, twisted his body, and immediately there came a cracking sound from his joints. Coupled with his imposing frame, just being near him felt overwhelmingly oppressive.

Doctor Lu lifted his head to look at the Bull Demon, his throat involuntarily made a gulping sound, he opened his mouth but didn’t dare utter a sound.

With a fierce face and a violent aura, the Bull Demon made Doctor Lu’s legs tremble with fear; he was truly scared and could only shut his mouth and keep his distance.

Xu Fan finally had some peace and quiet in his ears, and he commanded, “I’m going to start now. Bull Demon, guard the door. No one is allowed to come in.”

“Yes,” the Bull Demon pulled the door shut firmly, presenting a menacing look as he scrutinized every passerby with a sinister gaze.

Xu Fan approached the bedside, gave Zhou Xiaofu a gentle smile, and said softly, “Xiao Fu, I’m starting. Don’t be afraid, it will be over soon.”

“Mhm,” Zhou Xiaofu hummed in acknowledgement, then closed her eyes full of anticipation.
