Chapter 459: Chapter 448: Lu Zijin Sends Qiao Jing to Rest

After Zhan Yunyu left, Qiao Jing became even more resolute in her desire to leave.

She could feel that the woman from before, and Zhan Qipei, were both from equal social standings, born into wealthy and powerful families.

Just as she was about to continue reading her medical books, she received a call from Lu Zijin.

“Qiao Jing, there’s a very tricky patient in the next province, they reached out to me, and after I briefly understood the situation, it’s urgent, we need to rush over promptly. The patient’s chest cavity has been penetrated by a steel pipe, and there are other complications. I fear I might not be able to handle it alone, so I’m preparing to have you assist me, are you available to go?”

Although he had moved on from Qiao Jing by now, they were still colleagues, so there was no question of cutting off contact completely.

As long as Qiao Jing was happy, that was what mattered.

Even if it meant watching Qiao Jing’s happiness from a distance.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows and immediately put down her medical book, hurrying out.

“Uh, have you booked the flight?”

Lu Zijin’s response came swiftly.

“My family’s helicopter is parked on the hospital’s rooftop, where are you now? I’ll come pick you up.”

Qiao Jing hailed a taxi by the roadside.

“No need.”

After getting into the taxi, Qiao Jing sent a message to Zhou Fu, briefly explaining the situation at Wonderful Hall, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

By the time she and Lu Zijin arrived in the neighboring province, the sky had already darkened a bit.

The two of them quickly descended from the rooftop of this hospital and hurried to the operating room.

Qiao Jing began to don sterile clothing, put on a mask, and a surgical cap, among other things.

“How’s the patient’s condition?”

As the nurse next to her was about to speak, Lu Zijin answered for her.

“The chest cavity has been pierced by a steel pipe, he landed on his head when he fell, his brain nerves are damaged, with multiple fractures throughout the body, and severe internal bleeding.”

After hearing the patient’s condition, Qiao Jing’s brows tightened.

“I understand.”

The nurse was startled by the tacit understanding between the two, originally thinking the female doctor had been addressing her.

After all, she was the nurse from the hospital’s main branch, and they had provided Director Lu with an especially long, detailed description.

Yet, Director Lu summarized it in four sentences.

“Director Lu, what should we call this female doctor? Is she a professor at your hospital?”

Lu Zijin’s motion of donning his surgical cap paused for a moment.

“She is Doctor Qiao, not a professor at the hospital, just a doctor.”

The doctors and nurses present furrowed their brows simultaneously.

The risk involved in this surgery was indeed too great, it was completely out of their control, which was why they had contacted Lu Zijin.

Moreover, they had all been taken aback when admitting this patient.

The difficulty of the surgery was simply ninety-nine percent; the slightest carelessness could lead to the patient’s death.

Therefore, they were somewhat skeptical of Qiao Jing’s medical skills, since she was just an ordinary doctor in Lu Zijin’s hospital.

The leading doctor expressed doubt.

“Director Lu, are you sure Doctor Qiao can manage this operation?”

Once one person raised doubts, other doctors began to speak up as well.

“Yes, Director Lu, we have to be extremely cautious, we can’t afford any mishaps.”

“It’s not that we doubt Doctor Qiao’s medical skills, you brought her here so she must possess the necessary abilities, but she is not a professor, which still entails some risk.”

Qiao Jing was disinfecting herself with alcohol, ignoring their words.

Lu Zijin frowned deeply, casting a glance at these doctors.

“If you do not trust her, feel free to perform the surgery yourselves.”

How skilled Qiao Jing was as a surgeon, he knew all too well.

Having known Qiao Jing for so many years, he had never witnessed any issues with surgeries she led.

He did not want others to question Qiao Jing’s medical skills, which even he felt inferior to.

The doctors didn’t speak, their expressions gravely serious.

They looked at each other, not daring to speak out in opposition.

They had called for Lu Zijin to come to help because they were not confident in the surgery themselves.

If they now said they didn’t trust Qiao Jing, they would have to perform the surgery themselves.

After Qiao Jing and Lu Zijin had put on their surgical gowns, they walked into the operating room.

By the time the surgery was complete, it was already the middle of the night.

When the hospital’s doctors and nurses came out of the OR, they couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

“The surgery was actually a success!!”

“Director Lu, we really can’t thank you enough. We owe it to you for coming over; otherwise, we might have…”

Lu Zijin removed her gloves.

“You don’t need to thank me specifically, it was Doctor Qiao who led the surgery.”

A fine sheen of sweat had broken out on Qiao Jing’s forehead, and she felt somewhat unwell.

She leaned against the wall, taking several deep breaths.

She had led nearly the entire surgery, which had taken a great toll on her energy, causing her to feel physically drained.

During the surgery, the doctors and nurses witnessed Qiao Jing’s precise suturing technique, as well as her method of treating the wounds.

After that, they looked at Qiao Jing with admiration.

Indeed, she was a doctor personally brought over by Director Lu, and her medical skills were certainly top-notch.

There wasn’t a single person present who dared claim their medical skills were half as good as Doctor Qiao’s.

They had actually doubted Doctor Qiao’s medical skills just before…

The doctor who had led the earlier questioning immediately apologized.

“Doctor Qiao, thank you for rushing over to lead the surgery. I apologize for doubting you earlier. I’m sorry.”

Qiao Jing was not in the mood to pay attention to all this; she simply nodded lightly in response.

Right now, she just wanted to rest for a while.

The hospital director also rushed over. Upon hearing that Qiao Jing had led the entire surgery alone and that it was successful, the idea of recruiting her crossed his mind.

But with Lu Zijin still present, he didn’t feel it was appropriate to say it outright. Instead, he hinted,

“Director Lu, with such exquisite medical skills, why is Doctor Qiao only a regular doctor?”

Lu Zijin picked up on the director’s implication and smiled.

“She doesn’t want to be a professor, as it comes with too many responsibilities. Now that the surgery is successful, we should rest first.”

He had already noticed that Qiao Jing was feeling unwell. Anyone thinking carefully would know that a high-intensity, focused surgery would certainly be exhausting.

If he continued talking with these doctors, Qiao Jing might very well collapse from fatigue.

Seeing the situation, the doctors said nothing more.

Lu Zijin stepped forward, supporting Qiao Jing’s arm while maintaining a proper distance.

“Let’s rest in the ward for tonight. If you’re still tired tomorrow, we can return to the capital the day after.”

Qiao Jing nodded, not putting all her weight on Lu Zijin, and slowly walked to the empty ward.

After Lu Zijin helped Qiao Jing to the bedside, she left the ward, uttering a parting piece of advice before she went.

“Rest well.”

The moment Qiao Jing touched the soft bed, she was too exhausted to talk, pulling up the blanket without answering Lu Zijin.

Lu Zijin carefully closed the ward door and left.

It was already the early hours of the morning by the time the surgery was finished. Far away in the capital, Zhan Qipei had returned home in the evening and couldn’t find Qiao Jing.

He thought Qiao Jing was still at Wonderful Hall, but when he went there, he learned that Qiao Jing had left in the afternoon.

He searched almost everywhere he could think of and still received no word of her whereabouts.

Zhan Qipei sat in the empty living room, anxious, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

Suddenly, his phone chirped once.
