Li Chenglin dialed his younger brother's number.
"Hey, Yulin, the surgery has been arranged with Miss Chen."
He paused, his tone slightly teasing.
"This girl looks familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. Do you know her?"
Li Yulin on the other end of the phone paused noticeably for a moment, then casually brushed it off.
"Really? Maybe it's just a generic face. Bro, you've been too tired lately and are hallucinating."
Li Chenglin smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
"Anyway, leave the surgery to me, you don't need to worry too much."
He hung up the phone, rubbed his temples, and the image of that woman lingered in his mind.
At the same time, Fu Xingzhou's phone vibrated.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the message sent by Li Yulin.
"Susu has agreed to the surgery."
Those few words made Fu Xingzhou's heart clench.
He knew Li Susu well; she was always decisive, and once she made a decision, she wouldn't easily change it.
But surgery is risky, so how could he not be worried?
He rubbed his temples in frustration.
She is always so strong, and she never easily gives up, no matter how great the difficulties.
Will she be safe and sound this time?
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress his inner unease.
On the other side, Li Yulin put down his phone and let out a long sigh.
He knew how his older brother felt at that moment, and he also knew what Su Su's decision meant.
Now, all they can do is wait and pray that the surgery goes well.
Li Susu dragged her tired body back to her hotel room, wanting nothing more than to collapse onto the soft bed.
Before she could even reach the bedside, there was a knock on the door.
A hint of impatience flashed through Li Susu's mind as she opened the door and saw Chen Ke's anxious face.
Did you go to the hospital again today?
Chen Ke spoke urgently, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Li Susu rubbed her temples, but did not deny it.
"Arno, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Chen Ke stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of accusation.
"I'm going to have surgery."
Li Susu spoke calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
"Operation?"
Chen Ke was stunned; he hadn't expected Li Susu to be so decisive.
Even if there's a chance of failure, I'm going to give it a try.
A resolute look shone in Li Susu's eyes, a determination that no one could shake.
Chen Ke became agitated instantly and grabbed Li Susu's arm.
"Why didn't you discuss it with me? Why did you make this decision on your own?"
His voice trembled slightly, filled with worry and confusion.
Li Susu impatiently shook off Chen Ke's hand.
"My life is mine, and I have the right to control it."
Her tone was icy, and her eyes held a hint of warning.
"Besides, the situation will only get worse if this blood clot stays in the brain."
Li Susu paused, her tone tinged with sarcasm.
"Do you want to watch me slowly die?"
Chen Ke was rendered speechless by Li Susu's retort. He dejectedly let go of her hand, his heart filled with turmoil and pain.
He couldn't predict the outcome of the surgery.
What should he do if Li Susu leaves him?
Chen Ke walked out of the hotel, looking dejected and in a state of utter confusion.
He could not accept Li Susu's decision to perform the surgery alone.
What terrifies him even more is the potential consequences of the surgery.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Find me someone, a doctor at Anderson Clinic, his name is... wait, let me ask him."
Chen Ke hung up the phone and immediately sent Li Susu a message: "Who was the surgeon who performed Susu's surgery?"
Soon, Li Susu decided it was unimportant and replied directly, "Li Chenglin".
Chen Ke told the person on the other end of the phone the name and added, "I need all his contact information, the sooner the better."
In less than ten minutes, Chen Ke received Li Chenglin's phone number and home address.
He immediately dialed another number, his tone cold: "Help me arrange a meeting with Li Chenglin. Tell him there's something important to discuss and we must meet."
He knew that this mysterious way of inviting someone was more likely to attract their attention.
The other party was very efficient and replied quickly: "It's arranged. It will be at the 'Jinxiuyuan' restaurant in the east of the city at 2 pm tomorrow."
Chen Ke hung up the phone and rubbed his temples in frustration.
the next day.
Inside the antique-style private rooms of Jinxiuyuan Restaurant.
Li Chenglin arrived ahead of schedule.
He idly flipped through the menu, wondering who the other person was.
At exactly 2:00, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Chen Ke walked in and recognized Li Chenglin at a glance; he had seen the photo countless times.
"Hello, Dr. Li."
Chen Ke spoke calmly, but his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
Li Chenglin put down the menu and sized up the unfamiliar man in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Ke, and I am... Chen Nuo's friend."
Chen Ke paused, observing Li Chenglin's reaction.
Li Chenglin frowned slightly; he didn't recognize the person in front of him.
What do you want from me?
