A cloud of dust rose from the village road, and the sharp, urgent sound of a police siren shattered the tranquility of Liu Village.
An ambulance with flashing red and blue lights and a gleaming Hongqi sedan drove quickly toward Liu Changfu's house, one after the other.
The sudden commotion startled many villagers, who came out of their houses, looking surprised and whispering among themselves.
"What's going on? Why did the ambulance go straight to Old Liu's house?"
"I don't know, I'm afraid something big has happened to the Liu family."
Filled with doubt, everyone walked towards Liu Changfu's house without even realizing it. In the blink of an eye, the ambulance and the Hongqi car came to a smooth stop in front of Liu Changfu's house.
With a "whoosh," the ambulance door was pulled open first, and several medical staff in white coats quickly jumped out of the vehicle, their expressions solemn.
At the same time, the doors of the Hongqi car were also opened.
County Head Wen stepped out of the car first, straightening his clothes slightly. Immediately afterward, Municipal Secretary-General Zhou Hongyi and the Municipal Party Secretary also quickly got out of the car. The three stood together, exuding an air of authority.
Zhou Hongyi wore a simple jacket, his eyes revealing wisdom and competence; the city secretary wore a dark Zhongshan suit, his face tired but his eyes firm and full of expectation.
The villagers stared curiously at these unfamiliar yet distinguished faces, their gazes lingering on them.
Suddenly, someone's eyes lit up and they shouted, "County Magistrate Wen!"
This shout was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples. Everyone nodded, seemingly remembering the county magistrate's appearance.
Inside the house, Liu Xingman and Liu Xingyi heard the commotion outside and hurriedly came out.
Liu Xingyi recognized the man at a glance. He quickly bowed, a humble smile on his face, and said softly, "County Magistrate."
Then, his gaze turned with a hint of awe to the two men behind the county magistrate. The two men were of higher rank than the other, and their imposing presence made him feel uneasy. He quickly stepped forward to greet them one by one.
"Director Liu, is this your home?" County Chief Wen asked in a low voice.
"This is my home. I'm just a deputy section chief, I don't deserve to be called a leader, just call me Xiao Liu." Liu Xingyi said respectfully, her tone a little reserved.
"Oh, it's you leaders. Please come in and let's talk," Liu Xingman said warmly.
"Wait a minute, saving lives is the priority. Director Liu, who is Liu Feng to you? Is he at home?" Secretary-General Zhou frowned slightly, his eyes urgent, and his tone revealing an undeniable anxiety.
“It’s my fourth brother. Coincidentally, he’s having dinner at home right now,” Liu Xingyi replied truthfully.
Inside the house, Liu Feng, who was eating peacefully, stopped eating when he heard the conversation outside. All his family members turned to look at him.
Liu Feng remained calm, as if he had everything under control, and said softly, "It's nothing. It must be a patient who came to ask me for treatment. I'll go out and take a look."
He stood up calmly and walked out the door with composed steps.
Old Man Liu and his family couldn't sit still any longer, so they followed him out.
The moment Liu Feng stepped out, he closed his eyes slightly and scanned the ambulance with his divine sense. He saw an unconscious old man lying inside and knew what had happened in just one glance.
When Liu Xingyi saw Liu Feng come out, he quickly introduced the various leaders to him.
Liu Feng's gaze fell on Zhou Hengyi, his eyes flashing slightly, and he said, "Uncle Zhou, it's been many years."
Secretary-General Zhou nodded, his face filled with gratitude, and said, "Brother Liu, I know you are a highly skilled doctor. If it weren't for your help back then, my son Ziyang would have lost an arm. This time, due to the urgency of the situation, I have taken the liberty of bringing the patient to your door. Please forgive me."
The city party secretary quickly responded, his face haggard, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation. He got straight to the point, saying, "My father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and the hospital has issued a critical condition notice, telling us to prepare for his passing. But I heard from Secretary-General Zhou that Brother Liu is a highly skilled doctor, so I have come here specifically to beg for a chance to save him. Regardless of whether Brother Liu can cure him, I will be eternally grateful."
Seeing how straightforward and decisive the city secretary was, Liu Feng couldn't help but secretly praise him, thinking that he was indeed worthy of being the top leader of the city.
He turned to his elder brother, Liu Xingyi, and said calmly, “Brother, please let the leaders come in first. Find a room for the patient to lie down, make sure the room is well-ventilated, and light a charcoal brazier.”
Upon hearing this, County Chief Wen immediately waved his hand, and several medical staff quickly carried the unconscious elderly man into a room.
Liu Xingman immediately moved the charcoal brazier from the main room to the patient's room.
Seeing that Liu Feng was so young, the city secretary couldn't help but look worried: "Young man Liu, do you think there's any hope for my father?"
Secretary-General Zhou also pricked up his ears, watching Liu Feng intently. The air in the room seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Feng.
Liu Feng did not make a promise easily: "I'll take a look in a bit and then I'll know."
The city secretary's heart leaped into his throat as he nervously stared at Liu Feng, for Liu Feng was his last hope.
Liu Feng walked into the ward at a leisurely pace and came to the patient's side.
He carefully observed the patient's complexion and pulse, and then examined his eyes. The room was silent; everyone held their breath, afraid of disturbing Liu Feng's diagnosis.
After a while, Liu Feng's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. He turned to look at the city secretary and Secretary-General Zhou and said slowly, "The patient should have arteriosclerosis of small arteries in the brain, which has led to the rupture and bleeding of multiple microaneurysms. The situation is critical. The hematoma needs to be removed as soon as possible and the intracranial pressure needs to be reduced, otherwise he will not live much longer."
The city secretary, impressed by Liu Feng's accurate diagnosis, looked at him with newfound respect and asked, "Brother Liu, you're right, that's what the hospital said too. But my father is too old for brain surgery. Do you have any other options?"
