Chapter 187 The New Unfortunate Party
Xia Lili spoke of Qiao Jiaying with admiration in her eyes: "Although Professor Qiao is only in his seventies, he is still as skilled as ever. Last year, he even used handwriting analysis to identify the serial killer."
"That's right." Fei Shuyun smiled and nodded. "The patient I'm operating on this time is Professor Qiao. Professor Qiao has recently developed temporary alexia."
Xia Lili was puzzled: "Dyslexia?"
"Sometimes I suddenly can't understand the words." Fei Shuyun patiently explained to Xia Lili.
"The hospital examination found a small tumor near the angular gyrus of Professor Qiao's left brain, which was compressing his writing and language comprehension areas."
Xia Lili's heart sank. If a handwriting expert suddenly couldn't understand the text, it would be like a painter losing his color perception. "How could this happen? What's the condition of the tumor?"
"Fortunately, the tumor is currently benign, but if it continues to grow, it will completely destroy Professor Qiao's handwriting identification ability, so it needs to be removed as soon as possible."
When Fei Shuyun said this, his brows furrowed slightly, and his voice trailed off in a deep voice: "To be honest, as the lead surgeon, I feel quite a lot of pressure."
"Any slight mistake during the operation could affect Professor Qiao's ability to perform handwriting identification in the future."
Pei Qinyue raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and gently patted Fei Shuyun's shoulder with his bony palm. "I didn't expect that a genius professor in our medical field would also feel pressured?"
A faint smile played at the corner of his lips. "As far as this operation is concerned, your success rate is the best in the country, and it would rank among the top three globally."
As he spoke, he raised his glass and swirled it gently. "Remember the surgery performed by that aerospace expert last year? I saw a report a few days ago that the old man can still operate precision instruments without even a 0.1mm error."
He looked at Fei Shuyun with a smile, "Isn't this perfect case from your hands?"
Xia Lili was secretly surprised when she heard what Pei Qinyue said - Fei Shuyun is so young, yet he is so powerful?
It seems that what Fei Shuyun said when introducing himself just now was too simple and too humble.
She searched Fei Shuyun's name on her mobile phone, and her eyes widened when she saw the various expert and authoritative titles in the encyclopedia.
Fei Shuyun is one of the few neurosurgeons in China who masters the technology of "intraoperative awakening combined with electrical stimulation positioning". He is particularly good at protecting the human brain's advanced cognitive functions during surgery, and his surgical success rate is extremely high.
Xia Lili took a deep breath. There were so many outstanding people in this world.
Fei Shuyun pushed up his glasses and said, "Handwriting identification requires extremely high levels of neural control, even requiring analysis of the subtle tremors when the pen turns."
"This is also my first time dealing with patients in this field. Even the slightest mistake during tumor removal could affect Professor Qiao's handwriting identification work."
Pei Qinyue leaned against the window, his tone soothing, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Professor Qiao has handled thousands of cases in his life and has made countless contributions. It's time for him to take a break."
He paused, then suddenly chuckled, "Besides, I heard that the Yangcheng General Bureau's case-solving rate has skyrocketed recently. It seems they hired a crime-solving expert."
"With a rising star like this taking over, the veterans should feel at ease."
Xia Lili was drinking sparkling water when she heard this and choked and slapped her chest: "Puff - cough cough cough!"
Fei Shuyun quickly handed over the tissue, but Pei Qinyue smiled like a fox: "Hey, what's wrong with our Miss Xia?"
"Oh." He deliberately dragged out his tone, "Aren't you friends with the police from Yangcheng General Bureau? Do you have any story with this expert?"
"What do you care?" she boasted, her face calm and her heart beating. "Anyway, I'm really amazing, young and promising!"
"Also, the identity of this expert is kept secret, so don't ask too many questions."
Pei Qinyue shrugged: "Okay."
As they were talking, the assistant came over quickly and whispered, "Mr. Pei, the tower just sent a weather warning. There's a sudden surge of strong air currents along the route. We recommend delaying takeoff by 30 minutes."
Pei Qinyue glanced at his watch: "30 minutes is still within the controllable range."
"Luckily, ours is a Gulfstream, so we don't have to wait in line for the runway like commercial airliners."
Upon hearing this, Fei Shuyun's slender fingers had already swiped the screen of his phone: "I'll call my father and tell him that the airport pick-up time will be postponed."
Pei Qinyue leaned back in his chair, a playful smile playing on his lips. "Our Doctor Fei is so busy these days." He shook the wine glass in his hand. "Is it possible that when I go back to my hometown, I can only eat by the clock?"
"I'm really too busy to handle everything." Fei Shuyun sighed softly, a trace of fatigue flashing in his eyes behind his glasses. "Critically ill patients come one after another. Today they fly to the capital, tomorrow they fly to Haicheng."
He put the phone to his ear and said, "This time, I can only have a quick meeting with my parents at the airport restaurant. I have to rush to Yangcheng Second Hospital for preoperative preparations."
"Only on the plane can I have a moment of free time to relax and chat with friends."
When Xia Lili heard Fei Shuyun's words, she couldn't help but sigh that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
When Fei Shuyun was talking to his family on the phone, a rare warmth flashed across his calm and reserved face: "Dad, I might be half an hour late..."
The person on the other end of the phone expressed understanding, "It's okay if you arrive half an hour later. That way I'll have time to pick up Tuanzi."
"Tuanzi is getting a bath and deworming at the pet store. I'll pick him up now and bring him over to meet you."
Fei Shuyun said happily: "That's great, I haven't touched Tuanzi for almost a year!"
…
"Okay, see you later."
Xia Lili couldn't help but be curious: "Is Tuanzi your pet?"
"Yes, it's a lively and clingy Samoyed."
Fei Shuyun spoke of his dog in a particularly gentle voice: "During the Spring Festival last year, I finished an emergency operation at Yangcheng People's Hospital and drove home."
"It was drizzling on the road, and I saw a dirty puppy lying on the side of the road. I felt sorry for it during Chinese New Year, so I rescued it and brought it home."
Fei Shuyun smiled when he said this: "My parents didn't like dogs at first, but after Tuanzi came home, they changed their attitude and loved him very much."
"Now Tuanzi will stay with my parents in my place."
Xia Lili smiled and said, "It's nice to have a dog accompany the family! Small animals can always bring some comfort to people."
At this time, Pei Qinyue's assistant came over with an exquisite dessert tray and said softly, "The three of you, please have some refreshments."
Xia Lili's attention was immediately attracted by the beautifully shaped snacks. She sat by the window, staring at them but unable to reach them.
Fei Shuyun noticed her eager look and asked gently, "Which one do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
"That mousse cake decorated with cherries!" Xia Lili's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to point at the target.
Fei Shuyun smiled knowingly and carefully handed her the bone china plate containing the cherry cake.
"Thank you!" Xia Lili smiled gratefully at Fei Shuyun, but she didn't expect that when she looked into the other's calm eyes, the scene in front of her suddenly became blurred as if covered by a layer of fog.
