Chapter 132: Competing in Medical Skills
In the basement, the maid turned the key in the lock. A piercing ray of light shone into the dark room, startling Lin Liguo and Lin Piaopiao.
Wu Mei instructed the bodyguards to untie the hemp rope that was binding them. Lin Piaopiao was curled up in a corner and glaring fiercely at her. She wanted to yell at Wu Mei, but when she saw Li Nanchen and a slightly unfamiliar face from the corner of her eye, she could only choose to bear with it silently…
Lin Piaopiao helped Lin Liguo stand up. The few of them returned to the living room. Li Zhuo sized him up and said, “You’re Lin Liguo?”
“My waist and body are injured in many ways. I hope you can treat me, please,” Li Zhuo said while pretending to be polite. After Lin Liguo made sense of the situation, he straightened his back!
Lin Liguo could tell that Li Zhuo’s status in the Li family was not low. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Pointing at Wu Mei, he said, “As the Li Family’s private doctor, I didn’t get the respect I deserved. Instead, I was tortured and imprisoned by Wu Mei!”
“You have to give me an explanation. I can treat you, but the Li Family has to hold Wu Mei responsible and kick her out!”
Wu Mei sneered as she looked at Lin Liguo. Does he really think he is a miracle doctor? How can he just blurt out laughable conditions?
She looked at Old Master Li and Li Nanchen and said softly, “In terms of medical skills, Bi Fang is far superior to him.”
“Why don’t we get Bi Fang to treat him… In case this quack holds up Mr Li’s condition,” Wu Mei said sarcastically. Li Zhuo’s suspicious gaze swept over Lin Liguo as if he was hesitating…
Seeing that his last hope was about to slip away, Lin Liguo immediately shouted, “Which hospital is Bi Fang from? I’ve performed countless operations, and I was the one who treated Old Master Li’s illness. How can he compare to me?”
Seeing how stubborn he was, Wu Mei proposed, “How about you compete with Bi Fang?”
Bi Fang, who was carrying the first aid kit, frowned in displeasure when he heard Lin Liguo’s words.
Lin Liguo’s neck stiffened and he forced himself to ask in a hoarse but guilty voice, “What are we competing on?”
Wu Mei pondered for a moment before walking to the kitchen and taking out two pieces of beef from the freezer. Her movements were dazzling as she swiftly picked up the kitchen knife and cut out two pieces of meat that were less than 0.5cm thick. She stuffed the pieces of meat into Lin Liguo’s hand with a smile on her face and said, “The most important thing for a surgeon is to have steady hands.”
“Holding a scalpel is akin to holding the patient’s life. You can’t ever tremble…”
“Why don’t you and Bi Fang place the meat slice in your palm and use the scalpel to cut it into evenly-thin slices? The requirements aren’t high. Just thirty slices will do…”
“If you succeed, you’ll be the one to treat Mr Li’s illness!”
“But I advise you to think it through. If your hands tremble ever so slightly, you will cut the nerve on your hand. You probably won’t be able to practice medicine in the future!” Wu Mei’s voice gradually turned cold, scaring Lin Liguo so much that he broke out in cold sweat. He gulped as he stared at the piece of meat in his palm and subconsciously threw it out.
Clearing his throat, he said awkwardly, “I’ve been in the basement for two days. My health isn’t very good now. Let Bi Fang treat him!”
Wu Mei lowered her eyes as disdain and contempt flashed across her eyes. She pointed at the empty space beside her and said, “Since you don’t have the ability, just stay quietly at the side. Don’t let me hear any more of your nonsense…” With that, she looked up with a sharp gaze, scaring Lin Liguo so much that he retreated while trembling.
Bi Fang opened the first aid kit and caught the hint in Wu Mei’s eyes. He instantly understood what Wu Mei meant. Without giving Li Zhuo any anesthetic, he started the debridement…
Li Zhuo’s cries of agony rang out in the living room. Wu Mei crossed her arms and watched from the side with a faint smile on her face.
The drugs Bi Fang had used on Li Zhuo were all aggressive and unbearable. However, the effects were outstanding…
Li Zhuo could not demand anything from Bi Fang in public. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he said softly, “Can you be a little gentler?”
With a straight face, Bi Fang replied in a very serious manner, “No, if your wound isn’t treated properly, it will affect your subsequent recovery. It’s out of consideration for the patient.”
Li Zhuo couldn’t say anything to rebuff him. He could only bite on his handkerchief to withstand the increasing pain as the veins on his neck bulged…
In the bedroom, Li Nanchen gently closed the door. He hugged Wu Mei from behind and gently pressed his head against her neck. His eyes were filled with love as he said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me…”
“Bi Fang is quite ruthless. It hurts just looking at him…”
