Chapter 17 Preoperative Preparation

  Through Tang Jianguo's efforts, a week later, a medical team of over 10 people came to Kyoto under the guise of academic exchange.

  In a small conference room of the sanatorium, experts from the medical team were discussing the details of Tang Lao's operation with the country's top brain specialist.

  "Mr. Mai, I completely agree with the surgical plan you and your team have formulated, but I still require that our personnel be present during this operation," said Professor Mu.

  The medical team seems to have zero trust in these domestic authoritative experts, not only overturning all their test results and requiring a thorough re-examination, but also indicating that they do not want any participation from the Chinese side during the operation.

  Professor Mu would not agree to this requirement, what kind of person is Old Tang? How can such a dangerous operation be performed without anyone watching? Although he believes that the medical team's experts have good medical ethics and will not do anything during the operation, necessary procedures are still needed, otherwise Professor Mu cannot account for it.

  "Mr. Mu, you should trust us," said Mack, the leader of the medical team, with a slight frown on his brow.

  "Mr. Mike, please don't misunderstand us, we're not distrustful of you. We just hope to learn some advanced experience through this operation, I think that's a reasonable request, isn't it?"

  "McKay didn't say a word, but after conferring with the people around him, he shrugged and said, 'If that's how it is, then as you wish. I don't want to be disturbed during the operation. You should know how difficult this surgery is.'"

  Professor Mu's face also showed a hint of a smile when he heard Mike agree to his request. He stood up and extended his hand for a light handshake, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Mike, for your understanding and support. Please go back and count with your team to see what else is needed, so we can make preparations in advance."

  After seeing off Mike and his party, Professor Mu finally let out a long sigh. In the past few days, Mike and others had conducted a comprehensive examination of Old Man Tang and finally determined the surgical plan.

  The operation will start at 3 pm today. Normally, such an operation would take at least four hours or more, after all, the brain is the most mysterious place in the human body, and a slight mistake could lead to serious consequences.

  Mr. Tang is already over 80 years old, and his physical skills have deteriorated. In his condition, it's almost impossible to withstand a surgery that lasts more than four hours. Fortunately, Mack and his team studied the situation and said they can try their best to control the surgery time within three hours.

  After research by a panel of domestic experts, they also believe that Old Tang should still be able to withstand three hours.

  "Hmph! These foreigners, each and every one of them thinks they're above the sky." A domestic neurology authority hummed lightly as he leaned back in his chair.

  Professor Mu sighed and said, "Old Liu, this is also an unavoidable thing. Who let others be indeed more skilled than us? We have studied Tang's situation many times, at most we only have 30% confidence, but they dare to guarantee that there is more than 50% chance, this is the gap."

  "Yes, just look at the equipment they've brought with them... tsk, tsk..." Another expert sighed.

  "Alas, I'm just uncomfortable in my heart. When our medical skills emerged, those foreigners were still quenching their thirst by drinking the juice of a bird! Now they've surpassed us!" Doctor Liu sighed lightly with some discontent.

  "Don't worry, one day we will surpass them. It's just that us old folks might not live to see it." said Mu Lao.

  Tang Lao Ye Zi's acceptance of surgical treatment was strictly confidential to the outside world, and only a few big shots in the top core circle knew about it.

  For a whole morning, several big shots from the inner circle almost all came, after all, no one knew whether the old man could walk off the operating table.

  Mo Shaokun was still the old man's companion, which made him very depressed, especially when facing the gaze of those big shots and their kind inquiries, even though he had a psychological quality far superior to that of his peers, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  It wasn't until everyone had left that he finally found an excuse to sneak out of the hospital room.

  "Shǎo Kūn, where are you going?"

  He was just about to slip into the backyard for a relaxing smoke when he was caught red-handed by his aunt.

  "Aunt, I...I'm going out for some fresh air, it's suffocating." Mo Shaokun said with a dry laugh. Since that birthday, he had changed the way he addressed the Tang family members, of course, this did not include Tang Weiguo; the words "dad" still felt somewhat awkward to him at present.

  "You, born with a silver spoon in your mouth, don't know how lucky you are. There are so many people who would give their right arm to show their face in front of those few people, but you act like it's a chore." Qin Xuan happened to be walking over with a pile of things in her arms and couldn't help but shoot Mo Shaokun a white-eyed glance as she spoke.

  "Shaokun, your grandfather also did it for your own good." Tang Yurou's face was also adorned with a gentle smile.

  Mo Shaokun smiled wryly and nodded, he naturally knew that the old man was doing this for his own good. Being able to show his face in front of those few people was already a kind of intangible capital, let alone accompanying them and chatting with several big shots for a while. To put it bluntly, this was a protective charm given by the old man! As long as he didn't make any major mistakes, no one would dare to do anything to him.

  In the entire Kyoto aristocratic circle, probably no young master has ever received such treatment, which shows that Master Tang has spoiled him to a great extent.

  "Qin Qin, you go put things back in the house first, I'll go take a look at your grandfather."

  "Hmm." Qin Xuan nodded.

  Mo Shaokun and his aunt said goodbye and came to the garden to find a small corner that was not eye-catching, lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

  It's already the end of June, and I've been in Kyoto for almost 20 days. But at this moment, he no longer has the idea of wanting to return quickly as before. Now what he cares about most is the old man's surgical problem, even if it delays the good opportunity of the stock market!

  The more the old man was good to him, the more he couldn't bear to part with the old man. His worries about this operation were no less than those of any Tang family member, only that he had always hidden them in his heart and hadn't expressed them.

  "Huh? Shaokun brother, how are you here?"

  The sudden loud noise startled Mo Shaokun.

  He turned around and saw that Tang Guo, with two small braids tied up, was gazing at him with a pair of lively eyes.

  Tang Guo's appearance took the best of both her second uncle and aunt, although she was now a plump little face, it wasn't hard to see that she was a beautiful girl in the making, only fearing that when she grew up, she would attract countless talented men who would fall head over heels for her.

  Since school was on holiday, Tang Guo had been staying in the sanatorium for several days. As they spent more time together, Mo Shaokun grew to genuinely like this younger sister of his.

  "Xiao Guo Guo, what are you doing here?" Mo Shao Kun asked.

  Tang Guo rolled her eyes and said, "Please, I'm about to start junior high school, can't you just not add a single word?"

  Mo Shao Kun secretly extinguished the cigarette, and Tang Guo hummed again: "Hmph, don't think I didn't see it, I'll tell Grandpa about it later."

  Mo Shaokun smiled wryly and said, "Goodbye, Guoguo. As long as you keep this a secret for your brother, I'll buy you whatever you want."

  "Think you can bribe me? No way! If I want something, I won't let my parents buy it for me!" Guo Guo gave Mo Shaokun a white eye.

  "Guo Guo, our relationship is still pretty good, right? I've been quite nice to you, haven't I? You'd let Grandpa know and have him spank me?"

  Actually, Mo Shaokun didn't care about this matter at all. What's the big deal about smoking? It's not like he committed murder or arson. He just couldn't help but want to tease Guo Guo because of her cute appearance.

  "Alright, I'll give you a chance. When our classmate's birthday comes around, you'll have to go with me as punishment, and you'll be responsible for the gift too."

  Seeing that unusual gleam of light flash through Tang Guo's eyes, Mo Shaokun couldn't help but understand that this little girl had definitely been plotting for a long time.

  However, he didn't pry, although he didn't know why Guo wanted to bring him along, as long as Guo spoke up, he wouldn't refuse. This is the power of kinship, especially for someone who has never had family by their side since childhood, he would cherish his loved ones more than anyone else.
