CHAPTER 459: CHAPTER 416: OH, I ALSO SAVED SOMEONE ALONG THE WAY (BONUS 8/21)

The hospital directors, although momentarily stunned, didn’t dwell on these matters, as saving lives was urgent now.

After glancing around and not seeing Lin Yi, they refocused all their attention on Director Meng’s wound.

As for that new drug, although very intriguing, discussions with Chairman Lin would have to wait until after the surgery.

"Minimally invasive vascular suture needle, number four vascular microscope, hemostatic cotton..."

The vice president in charge of surgery is indeed an old expert, managing to start a vascular suture surgery in such harsh conditions.

Of course, the surgery was just a simple suture task; the main priority was to keep Director Meng alive.

He needed to sustain himself until getting onto the operating table to truly be out of danger.

After all, many medical equipments simply couldn’t be moved out!

Time passed bit by bit, quickly marking three minutes, five minutes, and ten minutes.

And just when ten minutes had passed, the suturing of these three major blood vessels got completed.

However, given that the effect of that medication lasted only around five minutes, during this time the young nurse fed Director Meng the last two pills left by Lin Yi.

Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened; as the three main blood vessels got sutured, Director Meng’s blood pressure began gradually rebounding.

Witnessing this scene, the chief surgeon breathed a long sigh of relief, then without a moment’s delay, ordered moving Director Meng to the emergency room.

At this, the crowd around spontaneously burst into applause.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, who was inside the surgery department and having his arm wound bandaged, upon hearing the warm applause outside knew that the person was likely saved.

This realization inexplicably brought comfort to his heart.

The young nurse bandaging Lin Yi was not only gentle-handed but also secretly kept glancing at Lin Yi — this tall, handsome young man.

In her heart, she fantasized how wonderful it would be to have such a Prince Charming.

However, there was only one Lin Yi in the world, and he was already won over by Xiao Zihan.

Hence, naturally, there couldn’t be another Prince Charming like Lin Yi for this little nurse to make a move on.

After finishing the bandaging, Lin Yi neither went out, nor inquired further about Director Meng’s situation.

Knowing he could no longer be of any help, he had done all he could.

Earlier, after using the genetic potion, he had been on his way back to change clothes when he encountered the incident.

Therefore, his body was still damp.

Finally resolving the situation, Lin Yi planned to return to Xiao Zihan’s hospital room.

After asking for directions, the young nurse guided him through the internal corridor leading to the West Building.

He was aware that once outside, he would be surrounded by a crowd.

Lin Yi had no intention to become a celebrity, nor did he want their attention.

Reflecting, even though initially unaffected by the incident, now it dawned on him that Xiao Zihan and others must have been informed.

Especially recalling having promised Xiao Zihan that he would step back in times of danger.

Yet now? Instead of retreating, he was the first to rush forward.

At that moment, Lin Yi felt deeply troubled, unsure of how to face Xiao Zihan.

Although he knew Xiao Zihan wouldn’t blame him, he still felt uneasy, much like a child who had done something wrong.

Upon reaching the outside of Xiao Zihan’s hospital room door,

he cautiously pressed his ear against the door to listen inside.

After hearing no sounds within, he gingerly pushed the door open.

He assumed that at this time, Xiao Zihan might still be taking a nap.

If so, perhaps Xiao Zihan wouldn’t discover what he had done.

However, as Lin Yi opened the door quietly intending to sneak in, he looked up only to lock eyes with Xiao Zihan and Empress Dowager Ye.

At this moment, Lin Yi awkwardly grinned:

"Hehe, you’re both awake? I thought you were napping; I didn’t dare knock on the door loudly to avoid waking you."

Yet, facing Lin Yi’s playful smile, Empress Dowager Ye stared at him with a blank expression.

While Xiao Zihan looked at him worriedly.

Seeing this, Lin Yi, despite obtuse at times, realized they must surely know what he had done earlier.

Resignedly, Lin Yi cleared his throat:

"Cough, cough, well, nothing’s wrong, I’ll go change now. I took a short walk and ran a bit, worked up a sweat."

Having said that, he intended to make his escape, but as soon as he regained composure, he heard Empress Dowager Ye’s stern voice:

"You stand right there! Went for a run? Come, tell us, exactly how did you run?"

With that, Lin Yi had no choice but to stop, turn around awkwardly to face them.

Especially noting Xiao Zihan’s worried look, in the end, Lin Yi shook his head in resignation:

"Ah, I forgot. After running, I also saved someone. But, see, I’m fine, I’ll go change clothes first and chat with you later."

But Empress Dowager Ye wasn’t about to let him off so easily.

Upon hearing this, her eyes immediately sharpened:

"You’re so capable, right? So many people there, yet you’re the only one to rush forward? You’ve no regard for your life, is that it?

If that knife slashed your arm, what if it had slashed your throat?

What would your mother and I do? What would Zihan do? What about Zihan’s unborn baby?"

Listening to Empress Dowager Ye’s questioning, Lin Yi also felt helpless.

At that moment when facing the knife-wielding criminal, he genuinely hadn’t thought much.

Nor did he consider his own safety.

Despite the enhancement of his current capabilities, even when he was just an ordinary human before, he wouldn’t hesitate to rush forward, perhaps it is his nature.

As Lin Yi was contemplating how to speak up, Empress Dowager Ye’s voice rang once more:

"I’m not against you saving people; it’s every Huaxia person’s mission. But act within your means! Rushing forward in a heated moment is reckless, don’t you know? Now come here and let us see your arm!"

Saying the harshest words yet with the utmost concern, perhaps that’s just how it is!

However...
