Chapter 502: Chapter 501: Multitasking

Through gradually accumulated experience, Yan Feifan had developed several methods for finding the optimal puncture path for intraspinal tumors.

However, no two intraspinal tumors in the world are exactly alike.

Moreover, finding the optimal puncture path was, in essence, a matter of selecting the least destructive route from among an exhaustive list of possibilities.

If Yan Feifan wanted to cut corners, he could certainly have designed a puncture and injection plan quickly and with minimal effort.

But that would go against his almost obsessive professional integrity.

’When saving a life, you have to do your absolute best.’

Those five children and the wife, threatened by that bastard in a cramped bathroom, were terrified.

The longer they were held captive, the greater the physical and psychological damage, and it could become a lifelong nightmare.

There was also the undeniable possibility that Yv Yunzhi could suddenly lose control, or that his hand could slip, causing irreversible harm.

Tasked with devising the best surgical plan while also shortening his deliberation time as much as possible, Yan Feifan had no choice but to go all out, pushing his brain to operate at maximum speed.

Fifty-six minutes later, Yan Feifan walked out of Mr. Lo’s office. Yan Ziruo, Yu Suye, Wang Chuan, and Zheng Libing, who were waiting outside, swarmed around him.

Yan Feifan also saw President Liu Jin, a concerned look on his face.

Liu Jin didn’t waste any words, getting straight to the point. "Feifan, Mr. Lo, Mr. Zheng, and Dr. Zhu have each taken one of the three patients to an operating room and completed the surgical preparations."

"Feifan, if you need anything, just say the word. The hospital will do everything in its power to support you."

Yan Feifan said in a low voice, "President Liu, this surgery is my specialty. I can handle it."

He then looked at Zheng Libing and asked, "Any new developments over there?"

Zheng Libing reported softly, "It’s still a stalemate."

He quickly added, "Pan Hong, Cao Ke, and Tang Guosheng all claim that Yv Yunzhi contacted them first, swearing up and down that he had a way to get you to operate on them."

"They insist they were just desperate people willing to try anything and agreed to Yv Yunzhi’s demands on the off-chance it might work. They claim they had no idea what was going to happen today."

"They also confessed that, at Yv Yunzhi’s suggestion, they opened a third-party escrow account in Canada, each transferring an initial one million."

Zheng Libing added, "Yv Yunzhi’s ex-girlfriend is currently in Canada."

"Our people are doing everything they can to dig up more information."

Yan Feifan nodded lightly. "He’s quite a piece of work—meticulous and thorough."

"What a waste."

Yan Feifan held out his hand. "Never mind all that. The surgery is what’s important. Give me the next patient’s medical records."

As he said this, a thick file was placed in his hands.

Yan Feifan quickly flipped through the file as he strode toward the inpatient building where the neurosurgery operating rooms were located.

Liu Jin, Wang Chuan, Yu Suye, Yan Ziruo, Zheng Libing, and the others followed closely behind him.

By the time Yan Feifan reached the surgical floor of the adjacent inpatient building, he had already finished reading Cao Ke’s file.

Yan Feifan casually tossed the file to someone beside him and asked, "Which operating room is Tang Guosheng in?"

Yu Suye replied, "Operating Room Five. Mr. Zheng is in charge."

"Feifan, I’ll assist you."

Yan Feifan grunted in acknowledgment and strode toward the isolation doors of the surgical area...

Although the matter was urgent, not a single required procedure could be skipped.

Yan Feifan and Yu Suye first went to the changing room and put on the required sleeveless blue scrubs.

Afterward, they went to the sterilization area to scrub in.

Next, the two entered Operating Room Five, where surgical nurses helped them put on sterile surgical gowns.

Finally, they stepped up to the operating table to begin the surgery...

Forty-eight minutes later, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye left Operating Room Five.

As soon as Yan Feifan came out of the operating room, a nurse who had been instructed beforehand and was waiting outside began showing him the medical records of the last patient, Pan Hong, one page after another.

Yan Feifan took off his surgical gown and stuffed it into a nearby disposal bin, but his eyes remained fixed on the documents the nurse was displaying.

A few minutes later, he finished reading Pan Hong’s medical file and headed toward the scrub room again.

Yu Suye grabbed him.

"Feifan, shouldn’t you be in the lounge right now, resting and thinking about Cao Ke’s surgical plan?"

Yan Feifan smiled lightly and said, "I already figured it out during the last surgery."

"You figured it out?" Yu Suye was a little confused.

Yan Feifan explained, "Before, I could only focus completely on one thing at a time. This time, to save time, I tried to see if I could do two things at once."

"And you know what? It’s only under crisis and pressure that a person can achieve a seemingly impossible breakthrough."

"I actually succeeded."

Yan Feifan said with a hint of pride, "During the last operation, I was performing the puncture and injection while also mapping out the plan for Cao Ke’s surgery. The two tasks didn’t interfere with each other at all."

"Su Ye, I can actually multitask now. Pretty amazing, right?"

Yu Suye looked at Yan Feifan’s excited expression and agreed, "Feifan, you’re incredible." But inside, her heart ached for him.

She knew one thing.

Although multitasking increased efficiency, the toll on his mind and body was also multiplied, perhaps even several times over.

Another fifty-seven minutes passed. Yan Feifan came out of Operating Room Two, took off his surgical gown, and once again entered the scrub room...

In the family waiting area outside the surgical zone, Yan Ziruo, Wang Chuan, and Liu Jin sat in a quiet corner, patiently waiting for the surgeries to end.

Liu Jin suddenly chuckled. "Ziruo, I forgot to tell you some wonderful news. I got a call from the vice principal of Bin University High School."

"He said that the young lady’s high school entrance exam scores were quite good, exceeding the admission cutoff for the high school."

Yan Ziruo also smiled. "She got a 623, seventeen points above the cutoff. We wanted to celebrate properly, but then all this happened."

Wang Chuan added, "The director of the education bureau for Tian Yu’s district called personally to announce her score."

Liu Jin let out a soft "oh" and said with a hint of sarcasm, "More and more people are starting to see Feifan’s importance."

Wang Chuan sighed lightly. "Too much importance isn’t a good thing either, like what happened today..."

Liu Jin said with a helpless tone, "This is just an extremely isolated case. It won’t happen often."

He then said thoughtfully, "I’ll propose strengthening Feifan’s personal security at the hospital administration meeting."

"The hospital will hire another bodyguard to work in shifts with his current one, providing round-the-clock security, seven days a week."

Wang Chuan reminded him, "Mrs. Meng probably won’t agree."

Yan Ziruo spoke up, "We can pay for it ourselves. We can afford to hire another one."

Liu Jin thought for a moment and said, "The money could come from Feifan’s research fund. He still has quite a bit in his research budget, so it wouldn’t be a problem to find a way to reimburse it..."

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Liu Jin saw a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair striding out of the elevator, surrounded by several people.

"It’s the deputy mayor in charge of our city’s health services..."

Liu Jin quickly made the introduction, then got up and hurried over to greet him...

After the deputy mayor’s party and Liu Jin’s group had waited for more than forty minutes, they didn’t see Yan Feifan. They only saw Yu Suye.

"The three surgeries are done. Feifan... he’s powered down again..."
