Overpowered Resident Doctor

Chapter 666: Chapter 665: Just a Hypothetical

Qee Sheng, the director of the Diagnostics Department; Wan Yuming, the director of the Emergency Department; Zhao Dongsheng and Qiou Junfeng, who had worked with Yan Feifan during the earthquake relief efforts; Shi Zonglu, a neurosurgery anesthesiologist; and the new Vice President Liang Qing all came to Yan Feifan’s office in the Little Red House at different times in the afternoon.

Some beat around the bush, while others were direct, but they all asked Yan Feifan about him taking on students.

Yan Feifan gave them all the same reply: he had already filled all the spots.

He also stressed to his visitors that, given he was still learning himself and had no experience mentoring, taking on four students at once was already his absolute limit.

Faced with Yan Feifan’s answer, they couldn’t force the issue and had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

For Yan Feifan, it was quite frustrating. Not only was his entire afternoon shattered into pieces, but he had also wasted more than half of it on this pointless parade of visitors.

It made him wonder if he should hang a sign on his office door, something like a "Do Not Disturb During Work Hours" plaque to keep visitors away.

Around seven in the evening, Yan Feifan took Yu Beihua to the neurosurgery operating room and performed a puncture and injection surgery for the cranial tumor on Ai Bo’s mother.

Around ten that night, the two of them returned to their home at Zuimo Court.

As soon as he walked in the door, Yan Feifan was delighted to find that Duan Yu, who had been recovering from her injuries in the United States for nearly a month, was back.

Having gone through a life-and-death experience together, their bond had naturally grown much stronger.

Yan Feifan said in a slightly chiding tone, "Duan Yu, why did you come back without saying a word?"

"You should have at least called ahead so we could have picked you up!"

He sized up the beaming Duan Yu and continued, "You’ve gotten fairer and slimmer. You seem to be in pretty good spirits, too."

"Duan Yu, are you still feeling any discomfort?"

Duan Yu chuckled. "Aside from not being able to do any strenuous exercise for the time being, I’ve recovered just like a normal person."

As she spoke, she even did a few kicks and a backbend.

"Mr. Yan, staying in the United States for so long, I was going stir-crazy. The hospital food was especially awful, just terrible."

Yan Feifan warned her with a serious expression, "Duan Yu, you had injuries to your intestinal tract. Even though you’ve been recovering for almost a month, you still need to let it heal further."

"No binge eating, no spicy or hard-to-digest foods, and no..."

At that, Duan Yu snapped to attention and interrupted him loudly, "Yes, Mr. Yan! I will take good care of my body, work on my physical fitness, and get back to work as soon as possible."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "I’m not trying to rush you back to work."

After a pause, he added with concern, "Duan Yu, stay here for a couple of days. Let Mrs. Du cook you some delicious, easy-to-digest, and nourishing food to satisfy your cravings!"

"Then, we’ll take you home."

"After all, with something this serious happening, your family must be worried."

Duan Yu said a bit sheepishly, "Mr. Yan, I didn’t tell my family about it. They just know my work assignment was transferred from Jingcheng to Binhai."

Yan Feifan froze for a moment, a lump forming in his throat.

"In that case, stay here and recover for a while longer. We’ll get you stronger, fatten you up a bit, and then you can go home to visit your family."

Duan Yu nodded. "Okay."

Yan Feifan then asked caringly, "What about that chef friend of yours?"

Duan Yu said, a little bashfully, "He was the one who picked me up from the airport this afternoon."

"He took three days off, so he has to go back to Jingcheng the day after tomorrow."

Yan Feifan let out a long "Ohhh" of understanding. He turned to Yan Ziruo and said, "Sis, let’s make arrangements for tomorrow night. Prepare a proper feast. We’ll have a welcome home dinner for Duan Yu here."

He then looked at Duan Yu and added, "Have your friend come too. We can also talk about his plans for the future."

Duan Yu nodded shyly.

They all chatted for a while longer, then went to get ready for bed.

Then, they realized they had a problem: there weren’t enough rooms.

Counting the attic, there were five rooms in total. With the addition of Yu Beihua and Duan Yu, there were now six people.

Yan Ziruo suggested, "This is an easy problem to solve. Feifan, you go sleep with Su Ye upstairs, and let Xiaohua have your room."

Well...

Yan Feifan was a bit of a neat freak and didn’t like other people staying in his room.

Of course, there were exceptions for certain individuals, like Yu Suye.

Yu Beihua noticed Yan Feifan’s reluctance and quickly spoke up, "I can sleep on the sofa!"

"The living room sofa is huge; it’s not much less comfortable than a bed..."

And just like that, the sleeping arrangements were cheerfully decided...

After they all washed up, a single seductive glance from Yu Suye was all it took to lure Yan Feifan to the bed in the attic...

"Feifan, I saw Xv Fang at the hospital."

"He didn’t seem to be in good spirits, and he had a man who looked like a lawyer with him. I imagine they were at the hospital to try and reach a settlement with the patient’s family."

Yan Feifan said scornfully, "If he were still the same kind person he’s always been, I could find it in me to deeply sympathize with him, maybe even help him out."

"Too bad he turned into such an ingrate."

Yu Suye sighed softly. "He was probably forced into it by his parents. He had to go against his conscience."

"When he saw me, he looked like he wanted to say something but held back. Then he just lowered his head in shame and walked away. I imagine my guess is correct."

Yan Feifan scoffed. "He’s not a child. On a matter of principle like this, does he not have a mind of his own?"

Yu Suye rolled her eyes at him. "You’ve never experienced it. The requests from your parents and family, even their tearful pleas, put you under an incredible amount of pressure."

"Even when you know your parents are in the wrong, you end up agreeing against your better judgment just to preserve your family ties!"

Yan Feifan asked with concern, "Su Ye, did you go see your parents and family when you went home this time? Did they make more unreasonable demands?"

Yu Suye shook her head. "This time, I just saw them from a distance. I didn’t interact with them."

"But I can imagine the predicament Xv Fang is in."

Yan Feifan hummed softly, when a thought suddenly struck him.

"Su Ye, let’s suppose that one day, because of a major research breakthrough, the Yu Family asks you and Yu Beihua to do something similar. What would you choose?"

Yu Suye’s eyebrow twitched and her eyes widened in anger. "Yan Feifan, the Yu Family has been a pillar of the medical world for over two hundred years! We have always upheld our family creed: ’A great physician must be of sincere and noble character,’ with integrity being paramount. We would absolutely never do something so despicable."

Yan Feifan quickly explained, "I’m just saying, hypothetically."

Yu Suye refused to yield an inch. "How can you even hypothesize about something like that? The fact that you did means you’ve considered it a possibility."

"What, are you starting to be suspicious of me and Xiaohua now?"

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "Su Ye, that’s not what I was thinking at all. And you should stop letting your imagination run wild."

Yu Suye huffed heavily but didn’t press the issue. Instead, she changed the subject. "Feifan, do you think Xv Fang will succeed in settling with the patient? The Xv Family should be able to offer a lot of money, right?"

Yan Feifan sighed softly. "Mr. Gong said their best option isn’t to settle, but to proceed with a judicial investigation and a lawsuit."

"That way, our lawsuit over the ownership of the research findings will be delayed indefinitely."

"During that time, whoever makes the first medical breakthrough in infrasound awakening research will gain the upper hand."

Yu Suye declared, "Feifan, you’ve already figured out a way to prevent the secondary damage from the infrasound. Victory is practically guaranteed for us."

Yan Feifan said cautiously, "We can’t underestimate our opponent."

"After all, he was nominated as a candidate for the medical academy. His own research prowess is quite formidable..."

Just then, Yan Feifan’s phone chimed.

He picked up his phone and saw that his sister had forwarded him an article.

The article had several photos that clearly showed Yan Feifan getting out of a British Consulate General car, as well as scenes of him chatting amicably with the British consul and others.

The article stated that Yan Feifan, the renowned genius doctor from Binhai University Affiliated Hospital, had secretly met with officials from the British Consulate General in Binhai.

According to a source inside the consulate...

The United Kingdom had apparently issued a formal invitation to Mr. Yan, offering him very generous conditions for research and work, and inviting him to take a post at one of the best medical institutions in the country.

Yan Feifan glanced at the article, tossed his phone aside, and turned to start exploring human anatomy with Yu Suye...
