CHAPTER 199: CHAPTER 197: ME!

"What? Twenty percent?" Upon hearing there was still a twenty percent success rate, Zhang Xiaoguang’s face immediately lit up with joy.

Zhang Xiaoguang excitedly said, "Doctor Smith, then please quickly save her. If we delay any longer, it might really be too late!"

"No, no, no, Mr. Zhang, you might have misunderstood what I meant." Smith hastily waved his hand, "If it fails, my medical career will be affected."

"But saving her is the priority!"

Smith shook his head, "Sorry, my reputation is more important. An American medical college has already invited me to become an academician next year!"

"Damn it!" Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoguang got so angry that he clenched his fists. He didn’t expect this foreigner to choose to watch someone die because he was afraid of jeopardizing his reputation.

Zhang Xiaoguang also felt resentful, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to offend someone who was the favorite of the hospital’s dean!

Just then, footsteps echoed in the corridor. Zhang Xiaoguang turned his head and saw Yu Ningxue in a police uniform running over with Xiao Tian.

As the famous "West City Police Flower" of Shanghai City, many high-paid doctors in the hospital were her admirers, so Zhou Xiaoguang recognized her instantly.

"Officer Yu!" Zhang Xiaoguang waved, approaching directly.

Yu Ningxue had no time for greetings, walking very quickly, she urgently asked, "How is the person?"

"This..." Zhang Xiaoguang’s tone was a bit vague.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian got anxious immediately, hurrying over and angrily demanding, "I asked how’s the person?"

"Alas!" Zhang Xiaoguang sighed heavily and pointed to Zhong Kexin inside the window, "This lady is seriously injured and has been shot. A very complex surgery is needed, and in our hospital, only Doctor Smith has such surgical experience."

Xiao Tian glared, "Get him to operate immediately! You’re wasting time right now, do you know that?"

"Doctor Smith is specially hired by our hospital, even the dean respects him a lot. He said he’ll be going back to an American medical college to become an academician next year, and he doesn’t want to risk affecting his reputation!" Zhang Xiaoguang said helplessly.

"What?" Hearing this, Xiao Tian immediately got furious, walking straight to a foreigner in a white coat nearby.

"You’re Smith?" Xiao Tian asked coldly.

Seeing Xiao Tian’s unfriendly attitude, Smith also showed no good face, "Yes, Huaxia person, what’s the matter?"

"If you watch someone die without saving them, what’s the point of being a doctor?" Xiao Tian asked coldly.

To be a doctor, one is born as a human. If even the most basic act of saving a life can’t be done, wouldn’t this sacred profession become a tool for making money? Building a red carpet from the patients’ blood?

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Smith couldn’t help but laugh loudly, pointing at Xiao Tian’s nose, "You Huaxia people just say empty things. Sorry, we Americans value realism, and I have no need to gamble my career for the sake of a Huaxia woman!"

Saying this, Smith’s face showed complete pride, "The Chenxi Medical College in America has already invited me to be an academician! That’s a goal estimated that all Huaxia doctors strive a lifetime but can’t reach!"

"Chenxi Medical College?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian suddenly smiled faintly. It seemed a revelation struck him.

However, this smile was not noticed by Smith.

Chenxi Medical College is known as the most prestigious medical college in America. It has developed dozens of anti-cancer drugs, renowned worldwide.

All those coming from there become world-renowned doctors. It can be said that as long as you can enter Chenxi Medical College and become an academician, your later life will mostly be full of prosperity.

Various hospitals would offer millions in annual salaries to invite you.

This is why Smith was so arrogant. Just as Smith was boasting, Xiao Tian suddenly spoke up.

"I can give you a chance. If you go in now to perform the surgery, I can pretend nothing happened, otherwise, you will receive a notice of canceled admission."

Xiao Tian’s expression was serious. It didn’t seem like he was lying at all.

"Hahahaha." Smith first fell silent, then burst into laughter, his expression as though he was looking at an idiot, "Ridiculous Huaxia person, indeed as I thought, blindly arrogant!"

"So you’re saying you won’t operate?" Ignoring him, Xiao Tian asked coldly.

Smith nodded arrogantly, "That’s right, I refuse! There are so many doctors in Shanghai, go find someone else! Hahaha, but I guess there’s no one in all of Shanghai with this ability!"

"Good!" Xiao Tian nodded, the cold smile on his face becoming even more evident.

"I’ll contact my family then; my family knows quite a few famous domestic doctors!" Yu Ningxue suddenly said, as she was about to pull out her phone.

"It’s too late, if surgery isn’t performed immediately, even if she survives, she’ll be a vegetative state." Xiao Tian said sternly.

"Then what should we do?" Yu Ningxue asked.

"I’ll perform the surgery!" Xiao Tian said calmly.

With just this one sentence, everyone present was stunned.

"Xiao Tian... you" Yu Ningxue was a bit surprised to hear Xiao Tian intended to personally perform the surgery.

Though Yu Ningxue knew Xiao Tian was quite adept at healing, could he really handle a surgery even doctors in the biggest hospital in Shanghai couldn’t manage?

Despite her doubts, she ultimately remained silent. She knew Xiao Tian’s character, and since he said he would perform the surgery, he must have confidence. In the end, Yu Ningxue chose to trust Xiao Tian.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoguang came over to advise, "This lady must be your relative, right? But surgery is not child’s play, I hope you don’t act on impulse!"

Xiao Tian shook his head, full of seriousness, and declared resolutely, "I studied medicine, go prepare the tools for me!"

Seeing Xiao Tian’s stubbornness, Zhang Xiaoguang’s face darkened, clearly not pleased, "Even Doctor Smith dared not take on such a serious injury! You say you’re a doctor, do you have credentials? If something happens, you’re not afraid, but our hospital can’t bear it!"

"If I don’t do it, will you?"

"You!" Zhang Xiaoguang obviously didn’t expect Xiao Tian to be so unreasonable, his eyebrows twitching with anger.

"I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens, everyone here can testify! I will perform the surgery right now! If you keep wasting my time and cause my aunt to be in life-threatening danger, I’ll take your life!" At the end, there was a hint of murderous intent on Xiao Tian’s face.

Zhang Xiaoguang was clearly intimidated by the murderous aura emanating from Xiao Tian, though angry, he ultimately dared not say anything, just coldly snorted, thinking since you’re bent on courting death, you’ll deal with the consequences yourself!

With that, Zhang Xiaoguang no longer obstructed Xiao Tian and called a nurse to bring a small cart filled with various surgical tools.

"Take full responsibility for any consequences! It has nothing to do with our hospital!" Zhang Xiaoguang said coldly.

Xiao Tian ignored him, directly pushing the cart toward the intensive care unit.
