Chapter 595: Chapter 595: Rescuing Brother Muli (2)_1

Old Master Xiao listened to Situ Xin’s words and did not reply immediately. Instead, he pondered for a while before lifting his head to look at Situ Xin and said, "Xiao Xin, I’m entrusting Muli to you." Old Master Xiao’s statement signified his complete trust in Situ Xin.

Old Master Xiao had his own thoughts as well. He had watched Situ Xin grow up from childhood and knew her character well. She wouldn’t undertake something unless she was sure of it. Another more important reason why Old Master Xiao agreed to let Situ Xin take action was her affection for Xiao Muli. Without necessarily being love, there was at least familial affection from Situ Xin towards Xiao Muli. On this count alone, Old Master Xiao knew Situ Xin would not let anything happen to Xiao Muli.

"Grandpa Xiao, rest assured, I will definitely return a lively and bouncing Brother Muli to you," Situ Xin said to Old Master Xiao, showing the first smile since she found out about Xiao Muli’s injury and hospitalization. And this smile miraculously soothed the initially anxious heart of Old Master Xiao.

In the moment he saw the smile on Situ Xin’s face, it was as if Old Master Xiao had suddenly found a dependable and trustworthy harbor.

"Alright, Grandpa Xiao is waiting for our Xiao Xin to return a lively and bouncing Muli," Old Master Xiao said with a loud and clear voice, filled with trust in Situ Xin.

"Ah, old commander, this, this, there are regulations in our hospital. Practicing medicine requires credentials. And places like the surgery room, you can’t just enter haphazardly," said a doctor in front of Old Master Xiao, not daring to directly say, how could you treat your grandson’s life so cavalierly?

"Hmph, what’s with all these rules? You can’t save people yourself, yet you refuse to let someone capable of saving a life do their work. You are the ones treating other people’s lives like a game," Old Master Situ glared at the doctor, who was hemming and hawing with all this nonsense. He even dared to doubt his precious granddaughter’s ability—the audacity. What Old Master Situ did not know was that his last sentence, quite coincidentally, had actually spoken aloud what the doctor had been thinking.

"Baby, if you’re confident you can save Muli, then hurry on in. If anything happens, you have your grandpa and me to back you up," Old Master Loo also stood on Situ Xin’s side. In his mind, Situ Xin’s capabilities far outstripped those of the hospital’s doctors. According to Old Master Loo, if his baby Situ Xin wasn’t confident she could save Xiao Muli, they should call her master. Situ Xin’s master would surely be able to save Xiao Muli.

However, the thought of calling for Situ Xin’s master only occurred to Old Master Loo after Situ Xin had stepped forward and volunteered to save Xiao Muli. Since it was inconvenient to discuss this matter in such a public setting, he swallowed his words.

Just as Old Master Loo finished speaking, the door to the surgery room opened again, and an older doctor than the one who had come out earlier walked out. The doctor immediately scolded the previous doctor, "Xiao Liu, what’s the matter with you? I sent you out to get a signature from the family. Why has it taken so long? Don’t you know it’s crucial to save the patient right now? A single minute’s delay could pose a life-threatening risk to the patient."

"Yes, yes, Dr. Zhang, I understand. However, the family member, they are unwilling to sign. Look..." the young Dr. Liu, who had come out earlier, did not show any displeasure at the senior Dr. Zhang’s scolding. Instead, he seemed relieved that Zhang had shown up. However, in his heart, Dr. Liu was somewhat taking pleasure in the misfortune, curious to see how Dr. Zhang, who always acted superior, would handle the situation.

"The family won’t sign? How can this be?" Dr. Zhang exclaimed, raising his voice an octave upon hearing that the family was unwilling to sign. However, as he caught sight of the person at the door adorned with stars and bars on their shoulder, his demeanor immediately deflated, and the words he was about to rebuke with were swallowed back down. His tone also shifted dramatically by one hundred eighty degrees. "You family members, I think it’s best if you just sign the forms. You know that the patient is in a critical condition right now. If your slow signing causes a delay in the best timing for the patient’s rescue, that wouldn’t be good, would it?"

Seeing Dr. Zhang’s sycophantic expression, Dr. Liu couldn’t help but wonder if he was seeing things. Was this the same proud Dr. Zhang who usually walked past them with his head held high?

Old Master Xiao and the others ignored Dr. Zhang’s words as if they hadn’t heard them. Situ Xin directly addressed Old Master Xiao, Grandpa Loo, and Old Master Situ, saying, "Grandpa, Grandfather, Grandpa Xiao, I’m going in now."

Although Situ Xin knew Xiao Muli was not in immediate life-threatening danger, she still felt that a bullet wasn’t something to take lightly. The longer it stayed in the body, the worse it could be. Therefore, she felt it was best to remove the bullet as soon as possible.

"Go ahead, Baby (Xiao Xin)," the three elders said in unison.

But Old Master Xiao added one last thing, "Xiao Xin, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best. As for..." Old Master Xiao paused here before continuing, "As for Muli’s fate, we will leave that to destiny."

"Grandpa Xiao, you just relax. Have I ever gone back on my word? I said I would return a lively and bouncing Brother Muli to you, and that’s exactly what I’ll do," Situ Xin replied. Without waiting for Old Master Xiao to respond, she turned to Dr. Zhang, who had the sycophantic look on his face, and said, "Take me to change into the surgery room attire."

"Ah." Dr. Zhang was confused by Situ Xin’s sudden command, as he was unaware of the earlier conversation.

"Ah what? I said take me to the changing room for surgery attire," Situ Xin said. She didn’t like Dr. Zhang, found him even more objectionable than Dr. Liu, but she knew it would be impossible to expect Dr. Liu to lead her to change. That’s why she had addressed Dr. Zhang.

"This is..." Dr. Zhang started but didn’t get a chance to finish as Old Master Situ bellowed at him, "What’s with all this hesitating? Hurry up and take her to change clothes."
