One by one, they slowly returned to the ward. The corridor was finally quiet again.

Pei Rusi walked to the nurses’ station.

“Is the operating theater ready?” He asked.

Hearing this, the nurse stood up in fear.

“Director Pei, the operating theater is ready. The surgery can be carried out at any time.”

There was a patient in the emergency department who should be sent to the orthopedics department for surgery. However, the patient insisted Pei Rusi perform the surgery for him. He refused any other doctor to perform the surgery!

Even the medical department tried to persuade him several times, but it was useless. There was no other way. After going through many stages of approval, the higher-ups finally agreed to let Pei Rusi carry out the surgery.

The surgery time was set at 1:30 pm this afternoon.

It was already 1:08 pm now. There were twenty minutes left.

Pei Rusi nodded and was about to leave, but just as he took a step forward, he came back again.

“Inform Dr. Jiang that she will be the first assistant!”

“Yes, director. I will inform Dr. Jiang right away.”

This time, Pei Rusi left. The young nurse calmed herself down before she got up and went to the Doctor’s office.

“Dr. Jiang, Director Pei wants you to enter the operating theater. You are the first assistant for the surgery of the patient in Bed 5 this afternoon!”

Of course, Jiang Tingxu would not refuse.

“Okay, got it.”

Nobody would reject to enter the operating theater.

Moreover, Jiang Tingxu did not want to be the center of discussion anymore. It was just nice to have some peace in the operating theater!

…

Three minutes later, Jiang Tingxu entered the operating theater and got ready. She changed into her surgical gown, washed her hands, and so on.

Pei Rusi arrived after Jiang Tingxu. It was not their first time working together. All in all, they had worked very well in the previous few times.

“Director Pei.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t think too much. I believe in your ability!”

Forget it.

When Jiang Tingxu was still an intern, he made an exception for her to be the chief surgeon for many surgeries.

Not to mention that she was now officially part of them!

Moreover, the rare congenital heart disease surgery in Joseph’s laboratory was performed by Jiang Tingxu. The surgery was very successful.

Judging from her ability and experience, she was no longer a candidate of the first assistant.

The two of them chatted and laughed for a while. In any case, they knew it without saying out loud.

“Let’s go. It’s time to go in,” Pei Rusi reminded. For once, Director Pei suddenly smirked in a strange manner.

He couldn’t be smiling, right?

When they entered, the anesthesiologist was already prepared.

“Director Pei, we can begin.”

Pei Rusi glanced at the time on the wall.

“Let’s begin. Time.”

“Date XX, hours 13:31.”

The anesthesiologist injected the anesthetic into the patient’s body. At this moment, the patient’s mind was still very clear. He held Pei Rusi’s hand and said,

“Director Pei, I believe in you. You can do it!”

Pfft.

Everyone laughed out loud at the patient’s words.

They had never seen a patient cheer for a surgeon before!

That was too strange. Moreover, that was so misleading.

Pei Rusi could not help but laugh. He patted the back of the patient’s hand.

“Yes, I can do it. You too!”

What else could he do?

Since the patient had cheered for him, as the chief surgeon, he would not reject it, right?

Three to four minutes later, the patient first muttered,

“Is this anesthetic expired? Why don’t I feel anything at all?”

After saying that, in less than a second, he lost consciousness.

He definitely lost it. That was fast.
