“Chief Zheng...” Wu Xiaomei looked at Zheng Ren timidly. She stopped mid-sentence.

She was confused and conflicted.

Trust Zheng Ren? To be honest, she didn’t believe him.

But to truly not believe him? Zheng Ren said what she wanted to hear the most.

Didn’t she come all the way from Sorcery Capital to the Imperial Capital just to hear such a sentence?

Seeing Wu Xiaomei’s expression, Zheng Ren smiled. “It’s fine. Don’t worry.”

“Boss, you don’t seem to be sincere.” Su Yun leaned on the sofa, still looking drowsy.

At the frontline, he said that he would sleep for three days and three nights. He didn’t expect it to be true.

“Uh... What did you say was so expensive?” Zheng Ren didn’t know how to explain, so he patted the laboratory report in his hand and asked.

“F*ck, Boss! What do you want?” Su Yun suddenly became energetic and sat up, making an exaggerated expression.

“It seems to be duobao fish. Yiren said to steam it.” Zheng Ren tried hard to recall but was not sure.

It was just a fish, how could it be more than 8,000 yuan?

Zheng Ren did not think there was anything to say about Wu Xiaomei’s condition. All he had to do was to take her for a check-up. With his own eyes, he could be 70% or 80% sure.

If he wanted to be completely sure, he could only do a pathology test.

Zheng Ren thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and began to look for the phone number. On the other side, Su Yun shouted loudly, “Yiren, is it duobao? Why is it so expensive!”

“It’s duobao. Today’s duobao is especially good. It looks like it was flown in from Northern Europe. It’s fresh. How much is it? Don’t forget his number and remember to send something over to him next time as well,” Xie Yiren answered as she busied herself.

Northern Europe... Air-flown...

Su Yun blew at his fringe. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind.

It was only that Zheng Ren noticed he had washed his hair. His fringe was finally fluttering about again.

It looked so familiar, it was as if he had returned to Sea City.

“Is it from Northern Europe? Are you sure they weren’t artificially propagated from Shandong?” Zheng Ren said as he flipped through the phone number book.

“8,000 yuan for a fish. If it’s artificially propagated in Shandong, I’ll go and fight with that boss,” Su Yun said weakly, “Boss, reimbursement...”

“Got it. Help me contact him. After dinner, take Wu Xiaomei to get an ultrasound,” Zheng Ren said.

He flipped through for Chief Resident Shen’s phone number and only then did he remember that he was no longer the chief resident. He had already left work and was probably eating.

“If you need anything, just look for me. Remember to reimburse me for the food,” Su Yun muttered.

Zheng Ren knew that the guy was not short of money, so he did not take his nagging to heart. The key was that Zheng Ren had taken out so much money himself, so he felt a little distressed. He still had to wait for his payroll at the Imperial Capital Hospital to start.

Thinking of this, Zheng Ren suddenly realized that he should ask the professor to accept the charity donation?

“Yiren, how long until dinner?” Su Yun was holding his cell phone and dialing.

“You guys go ahead and eat in half an hour,” the cook, Xie Yiren, answered.

“Hello, I’m here. Are you on duty? Oh, okay, I’ll be there in a while. I’m bringing an acquaintance to check her ultrasound. No need. With your level, I can’t trust you. My boss will go and make it himself. Alright, let’s talk when we meet.”

After saying that, Su Yun hung up the phone and looked at Zheng Ren. “Boss, I didn’t misunderstand your meaning, right?”

“Yes, I’ll do the ultrasound myself. I’ll be more at ease.” Zheng Ren smiled.

Zhou Jinxi asked cautiously and carefully, “Doctor Zheng, do you think it’s cholesterol meat... Whatever it is?”

“Cholesterol granuloma,” Zheng Ren corrected.

Zhou Jinxi didn’t ask anything. Instead, she looked at Zheng Ren questioningly.

“This is a very unusual change. It means that the catheter dilates and ruptures, releasing substances rich in lipids into the surrounding substance of the catheter, causing cholesterol crystals to form, accompanied by inflammation of the surrounding foreign matter,” Zheng Ren said seriously.

Zhou Jinxi and Wu Xiaomei listened to Zheng Ren’s explanation, half-believing and half-doubting.

“This is only one theory. There is another theory that the dilation of the catheter is accompanied by inflammation around the catheter and damage to the wall of the catheter. The lipid-rich substances released from the dilated catheter form cholesterol crystals. The cholesterol crystals infiltrate into the inflammatory granulation tissue and form cholesterol granuloma.”

Zheng Ren’s explanation made Zhou Jinxi and Wu Xiaomei confused.

Su Yun revealed a contemptuous smile. If it wasn’t for the presence of everyone else around, he would have definitely come up to Zheng Ren. Why did he say so much? Why didn’t he just say that Wu Xiaomei’s chest was too big? During the development process, it caused the catheter to rupture, causing cholesterol to leak out and form granuloma?

This doctor was really unqualified. This scene of him attempting to communicate with the patient was a bad evaluation.

Well, of course, it could also be because Little Yiren was at home, so it was impossible to be so clear about it.

“Anyway, after we finish eating, I’ll take you to the hospital to have a look. If the ultrasound is suitable, we’ll do a small surgery under anesthesia in the outpatient clinic tomorrow. We’ll know what it is after we conduct all the test.” Zheng ren smiled and said, “By this time tomorrow, you’ll probably have already arrived in Sorcery Capital.”

“Doctor Zheng.” Wu Xiaomei tidied her clothes and looked at Zheng Ren with tears glistening in her eyes. However, she tried her best to act like an adult and said, “Originally, I had saved some money and did not want to see a doctor anymore. This illness is just a money sink. There is no end to it.”

“Don’t think like that,” Zheng Ren interrupted.

“I was thinking of building a road for the village. The money is not much but if we repair the dirt road properly, it will be much better,” Wu Xiaomei said. “You must give me a serious answer. I don’t want to...”

“Oh? You have such a high awareness?” Su Yun said.

“Don’t mention it.”Zhou Jinxi sighed and said, “I couldn’t even stop her. I called the village chief. But a few hours later, the village chief said that he asked the villagers for their opinion. Every family has to pay 500 yuan to let the road be repaired.”

This time, even Su Yun was stunned.

What the f*ck.

“Doctor Zheng, if I really can’t live anymore, there’s no point in living for another one or two years. I’ll ask the villagers again. If I can’t, I’ll bring my parents to Sea City. But they won’t be used to living there...” Wu Xiaomei began to struggle again.

“It’s not that serious.” Zheng Ren waved his hand and said, “I think it’s probably a false alarm. Have a good meal later. After that, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“The meal will be ready soon. You guys can go to the table,” Xie Yiren said in the kitchen.

It was said to be half an hour, but it actually didn’t take that long.

The meal was tasteless. Chang Yue was absent-minded as she helped Xie Yiren with her work. She had made so many mistakes, it was better for Xie Yiren to do it herself.

When they were at the table, Su Yun repeatedly stretched out his chopsticks at the duobao. He had a fierce expression on his face, as if he was going to eat back the 8,000 yuan he had spent on the meal.

Zhou Jinxi didn’t have much of an appetite but she obviously knew more than Wu Xiaomei. Duobao was a cold-water fish, so it was very reasonable.

After a simple meal, Zheng Ren was going to take Zhou Jinxi and Wu Xiaomei to the hospital. Chang Yue was worried but was too embarrassed to leave Xie Yiren behind to clean up the dishes, so she pulled Xie Yiren out of the door.
