Chapter 191: Chapter 190 I Will Solve It

"Uncle, Auntie, don’t worry, Xiao Yi will definitely find a way to save Xiaohu."

Wang Qingqing looked at Xiao Yi and Dr. Zhang’s backs with a bit of excitement, then turned her head to Wang Dawei and Li Xiaomei beside her and said. She didn’t know why, but she felt an inexplicable confidence in Xiao Yi, as if there was a great power hidden within his slender silhouette.

"Yes, everything now depends on Little Xiao."

Wang Dawei nodded his head. He had heard about how Xiao Yi had cured his wife before, and he couldn’t stop talking about it. Now, he spoke with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.

"Let Divine Doctor Xiao save my son too, my son and your son are classmates who play together. I’ve seen your son a few times, you know."

"And my son, he’s your son’s best friend. Your son has even come to our house for dinner."

"And my son..."

"......"

The other parents nearby had also realized the situation by now. Knowing that the young man might indeed be a remarkable Divine Doctor, they each implored Wang Dawei and the others with excitement, each trying to draw a connection to Wang Xiaohu.

"Everyone, rest assured, I know they are all Xiaohu’s classmates, friends. I will definitely ask my friend to do his best to treat them, so please don’t panic. Arguing here might disrupt their diagnosis and treatment," she said, soothing them repeatedly.

Having heard Wang Qingqing’s sincere promise, their emotions soon calmed down. Each of them quieted down, looking expectantly toward the room.

Inside the ward.

Dr. Zhang pulled out a stack of documents from the initial emergency response upon admission, and began to review and ponder over them with a furrowed brow. Xiao Yi glanced at him deep in thought and did not disturb him, but went straight to the hospital bed and gazed intently at Wang Xiaohu. However, Wang Xiaohu was almost entirely wrapped in white gauze, with very little of his body visible. After just one glance, Xiao Yi reached out and gently placed his hand on Wang Xiaohu’s arm, and began to take his pulse.

Feeling Wang Xiaohu’s pulse, Xiao Yi’s mood sank immediately.

When that nurse had said the outlook was not optimistic, he had still held a sliver of hope, thinking it was possible the nurse overexaggerated to make sure Wang Dawei paid promptly. But now, having checked the pulse himself, he realized that what the nurse had said was rather an understatement. Wang Xiaohu’s condition was worse than described.

His life force was already very weak, and his lung injury was extremely serious. Without immediate intervention, his life was in imminent danger. Even if rescue efforts were made, it would be a very difficult and risky endeavor.

"Doctor Xiao, the situation is not optimistic," said Dr. Zhang after having finished reading the medical records, his face grave as he looked at Xiao Yi.

Initially, he had thought it would be just some minor knife wounds. Even though he had come straight over after Divine Doctor An’s call without any delay, he had felt that maybe Divine Doctor An was making too big a deal out of it. But in that moment, after reading the description on the medical record, he understood why Divine Doctor An had insisted he come. The severity of the injuries was such that even if he operated, he didn’t feel very confident about the chances of success.

"Hmm," Xiao Yi nodded gravely and took the medical records from Dr. Zhang’s hands, and began to read through the patient’s details.

"Multiple stab wounds, severe arterial bleeding, excessive blood loss, damage to the left lung..."

As Xiao Yi read each harrowing description and looked at the X-ray images, something within him seemed to ignite, a powerful and unspeakable fury rising from the depths of his heart. Yet, almost immediately, he lifted his head, took several deep breaths and forcefully suppressed the fury. He knew, now, saving Wang Xiaohu’s life was what mattered most.

His eyes went to Wang Dawei, Li Xiaomei, and Wang Qingqing on the other side of the glass. Seeing their anxious, urgent gazes filled with hope directed at him, he took another breath, turned, and looked at Dr. Zhang with a serious expression, "Dr. Zhang, what do you think?"

"It’s extremely difficult. The other injuries are manageable, but the damage to the lungs is too severe, too hard to repair."

Dr. Zhang shook his head, looking somewhat pessimistic.

He had to put the harsh truth out first. Although he didn’t yet know Xiao Yi’s background, just the fact that Elder An, Divine Doctor An, held him in such high regard made him think that Xiao Yi was no ordinary person. If things weren’t made clear and something went wrong, Xiao Yi could blame him, and that would be bad news.

"If I can repair the lungs, can you save him?"

Xiao Yi asked with an intense gaze.

Indeed, he wasn’t particularly adept at dealing with external injuries.

"Of course, if the lung issue is resolved, everything else is minor and fixable. But, the problem with the lungs, how will you fix it?"

Dr. Zhang replied without hesitation, but he was very skeptical about Xiao Yi’s claim to solve the lung problem and looked at him doubtfully, hardly believing that it was possible.

"Since it’s okay, then let’s arrange the surgery immediately. You handle the external injuries; I’ll take care of healing the lungs."

Xiao Yi didn’t respond to Dr. Zhang’s doubts, instead speaking with decisive confidence.

"You haven’t said..."

"I have a method. Leave everything to me. If there’s an issue, I’ll take full responsibility. It has nothing to do with you!"

Dr. Zhang wanted to say more but got cut off by Xiao Yi right away.

"Well... Okay, then."

Seeing the resolute look on Xiao Yi’s face, Dr. Zhang reluctantly nodded and turned to speak to a nurse.

With Dr. Zhang’s position, arranging an operating room was naturally not an issue, and it didn’t take long for the nurse to inform them that an operating room was available for immediate use.

As Wang Xiaohu was wheeled into the operating room by Xiao Yi, Dr. Zhang, and the surgical nurses, Wang Qingqing, Li Xiaomei, and the others’ expressions tightened even more. Although Qingqing had an inexplicable faith in Xiao Yi, her emotions were still beyond her control, uneasy. The moment she had seen the scene upon arrival and heard that middle-aged woman’s heart-wrenching cries, her heart felt like it had leapt into her throat.
