Chapter 441: Chapter 43: Escaping Danger

Lin Xiaoguai snapped back to reality from her conversation with 001, only to see Xu Chengying and Han Shouzhen looking utterly hopeless.

Without considering anything else, she quickly asked Xu Chengying, "Doctor Xu, I have a type of Heart Protecting Pills, can we try giving them to Ping’an?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengying was startled, as if he had just noticed her presence. After sizing her up for a moment, he realized, "You’re Mrs. Shen?"

Lin Xiaoguai nodded, thinking that as a member of a prominent family, Xu Chengying should be familiar with them, even if they were not close, but...

As it turned out, Xu Chengying had a special identity. He was not only Ping’an’s primary doctor but also the personal uncle to Ping’an’s biological father, Xu Qian.

The Xu Family and Han Family had severed ties over a decade ago due to an incident involving Xu Qian. They tried to avoid meeting in public, and although Lin Xiaoguai didn’t live a secluded life, she was not as keen on attending social gatherings as some other ladies, which made encounters between the two families even rarer.

Xu Chengying seemed thoughtful. He had heard of this Mrs. Shen named Lin Xiaoguai; her gift shop and Charitable Foundation were well-known. But what really interested him were those medicines that he had once asked someone to buy from the gift shop.

Even he had to admit the remarkable healing effects of those medicines. He had also tried to research and replicate them, but it was to no avail. Only after getting some insider information from the Military Department’s research institute did he begrudgingly give up.

"Let’s try it, we have no other options left anyway," Xu Chengying sighed.

Although he recognized Lin Xiaoguai’s pharmaceutical capabilities, thinking about Ping’an’s condition made him dare not hold out much hope.

For Han Shouzhen, however, Lin Xiaoguai’s medicine was the straw she clutched in her despair, carrying all her hopes.

Lin Xiaoguai and Han Shouzhen followed Xu Chengying into the operating room.

Zheng Cuicui, dressed in surgical attire, turned her head and was startled to see them, "Wanwan, Shouzhen, how did you get in?"

Lin Xiaoguai lifted the medicine box she was carrying, "Let’s see if my medicine can help Ping’an."

Understanding, Zheng Cuicui cleared the space next to her. Lin Xiaoguai opened her medicine box and took out the Heart Protecting Pills that she had secretly transferred inside earlier. Seizing the opportunity, a nearby nurse removed the breathing tube from Xu Ji’s mouth, allowing Lin Xiaoguai to feed the thumb-sized Heart Protecting Pill to him.

The surgery was still halfway through, Xu Ji’s chest cavity was wide open, revealing a patch of blood red. Just catching a glimpse from the corner of her eye was startling enough; Lin Xiaoguai did not dare to look directly, fearing that she might break down in tears.

"...It seems like the bleeding has stopped?" After about ten seconds, a nurse hesitantly asked.

Xu Chengying pushed his way over and carefully examined Xu Ji’s chest cavity, then exclaimed with ecstasy, "The bleeding has stopped!"

Han Shouzhen, who had been anxiously watching, broke down in relieved tears.

After a pause, he turned to Lin Xiaoguai and asked, "How long will the pill’s effect last?"

"Ten minutes," Lin Xiaoguai said with a sigh.

Suddenly, everyone in the operating room turned to look at her, their expressions seeming to convey, "Are you joking?"

Lin Xiaoguai said helplessly, "This medicine was originally developed for emergency use in great disasters or on the battlefield." What she didn’t say was that the Heart Protecting Pills were actually effective for those whose hearts had been stabbed or shot; to say that they could bring someone back from the brink of death was not an overstatement. Using them here was truly a waste of their potential.

The people surrounding them were momentarily stunned. Indeed, if this had been a critical emergency situation, those ten minutes could have turned the tide. But now...

"Fortunately, my shop is about to launch this new drug, so I have a rather large stock. I estimate we can hold out for about ten to fifteen days, and after that..." Lin Xiaoguai pretended to ponder for a moment, "I’ll start producing more as soon as I get back, but I’m not sure if there will be enough time."

She couldn’t be too assertive in her words, not to leave herself an out, but because if Ping’an had just become critically ill and she could solve it perfectly, wouldn’t that invite suspicion?

"How many Heart Protecting Pills did you bring this time?" Xu Chengying asked.

"Not many, just one bottle, probably less than twenty pills. I’ll go back to get more now," Lin Xiaoguai answered.

To avoid suspicion, she couldn’t immediately reveal the thousand Heart Protecting Pills she had on hand.

"Then you need to hurry back and not delay here," Xu Chengying urgently ushered her.

Han Shouzhen also quickly said, "Yes, yes, hurry and get the medicine. I’ll accompany you."

Even though her son was not yet completely out of danger, the glimpse of hope had revitalized her.
