Chapter Nineteen: The Operation Was Successful

  After a long wait, at 5:52 pm, the door of the operating room finally slowly opened.

  The Tang family members jumped up like they had been pricked by a needle and surrounded Dr. Mike, who had just walked out of the operating room, asking in urgent voices.

  "Mr. Mai, how was the result of the operation? Was it successful?" Tang Jianguo asked.

  "Doctor, how is my father?" Tang Yuru also asked.

  “……”

  Dr. Mack didn't rush to answer, first removing his mask and wiping the fine sweat from his forehead before saying to everyone: "The operation is very difficult, but God bless our luck is not bad."

  The hallway was suddenly quiet and terrifying, followed by everyone including Tang Jianguo bursting into loud cheers.

  It's successful! The operation is successful!!

  Tang Jianguo's eyes were slightly moist, and as a high-ranking official, he was usually so stern that he never cracked a smile, but at this moment, he was just an ordinary person worried about his old father.

  Like him, others also had tears of joy in their eyes, and the short two hours seemed to them like waiting for hundreds of years.

  Several elderly people waiting for results in the rest room also rushed over, and after learning about the surgical result, the four old men burst into laughter.

  "I knew it, that old Tang is really tough, he was able to crawl out of a pile of dead bodies back then, how could he be defeated by this small tumor? Haha!" Long Lao exclaimed with great joy, his fiery personality bursting forth in a loud voice.

  Although Nan Lao didn't say a word, anyone could see the look of relief in his eyes. After all, they had been friends for so many years, and their relationship was unbreakable, whether at work or in private. Otherwise, Nan Lao wouldn't have come personally to support Mo Shaokun just because of a phone call from Tang Lao.

  Before long, several medical staff pushed Tang Lao out, almost at the same time, Tang Lao slowly opened his eyes. This made Mike's eyebrows slightly raised in surprise as he looked at Professor Mu and several other Chinese experts beside him.

  Considering the old man's age and physical condition, this operation did not use Western medicine anesthesia, but instead used purely natural Chinese medicine with no side effects for anesthesia.

  What surprised Mike was not the anesthetic itself, but that the Chinese doctor could control the dosage so well! Previously, he had guaranteed that the operation would be completed within three hours, and at this moment, it was exactly 6:01 when Tang Lao slowly woke up. Just this mastery and control of the medicine was enough to make Mike admire him, after all, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are different, and it's very difficult to control the dosage so accurately.

  "Professor Mu, I admire and am curious about your anesthetic method. Can this medicine really guarantee no side effects at all?" Mac asked.

  Professor Mu's face was full of pride and arrogance, having been suppressed by this foreign devil for so long, he finally had a sense of relief and triumph.

  "Of course! Chinese medicine is vast and profound. If Mr. Maike is willing, he can stay here for a while longer and we can have a good discussion."

  "Oh God, that's really great! We're here for academic exchange, aren't we?" Mac, who was over 50 years old, looked like a playful kid at this moment. He winked at Professor Mu with a "you know what I mean" expression.

  Although Mike didn't understand the Chinese culture, he also knew that this operation on Tang Lao was highly confidential. Don't think that all foreigners are rough around the edges; in fact, when it's time to be astute, they're no stupider than anyone else. They know what to say and what not to say.

  Professor Mu was also delighted to hear Mike's words. Such an internationally renowned medical expert is not easily invited, and since he has come, he would not be willing to let him go without learning something truly useful from him, haha!

  As he looked at Professor Mu smiling at him with a sly grin, Mack suddenly felt a sense of psychological panic, as if being stared at by a fox.

  "Mr. Mike, I thank you on behalf of the Chinese people." said Nan Lao.

  Mike hastily bowed and grasped Old Nan's hand, his eyes filled with an excitement that he could hardly conceal. He had long admired this short, elderly man, who was once quoted by a president of his country as saying: "As long as there are three people still alive, China will be inviolable!"

  And Nan Lao was one of these three people!

  "Nan Lao, it's great to see you here! You're one of the people I admire most... I'm so sorry, I'm getting a bit emotional, I don't know how to express my feelings at this moment." Mack exclaimed.

  Nan Lao chuckled and patted his hand lightly, saying: "Don't mention it, I hope Mr. Mike and your colleagues will have a wonderful journey in Hua Xia, of course, I also wish you all the best in your exchanges with the medical community in Hua Xia."

  "I have always admired the mysterious ancient China, and I feel deeply honored to have this opportunity to come to China. Moreover, Chinese traditional medicine is amazing, and I believe that this trip will be worthwhile."

  "That's good, that's good." After finishing speaking, Old Nan let go of Mike's hand and turned to face the front of Grandpa Tang, who was surrounded by his family.

  Nan Lao's good attitude towards Mike is not only because he saved Tang Lao's life, but also because he understood Professor Mu's idea that anything beneficial to the Chinese nation will be done! With this statement, this academic exchange will go smoothly.

  "Old Tang, how are you feeling? We old guys have all come to see you." Nan Lao gently grasped Old Tang's hand and said.

  Mr. Tang is still a bit dazed at the moment, seemingly not fully awake yet. On the side, Dr. Mai said: "Old Nan, although the surgery was very successful, Mr. Tang has not yet completely passed the danger period, and the next 24 hours are crucial."

  "Oh?" The old man from the south raised an eyebrow, and the joyful expressions on the faces of the Tang family members also gradually solidified as they all looked at Mike.

  "But you all don't need to worry too much, the possibility of something unexpected happening is very small. In the next 24 hours, I hope you won't disturb Old Tang, he needs a quiet environment."

  Everyone in the crowd let out a slight sigh of relief.

  "Nan Lao said to Professor Mu: 'Xiao Mu, I'm leaving Old Tang in your hands now. This is a political task and you must complete it!'"

  "Yes! Please rest assured, General, I guarantee that the task will be completed!" Professor Mu said loudly with a straightened back.

  After sending Tang Lao to the intensive care unit, several old men did not stay for long. None of these men were younger than Tang Lao, and even Fang Lao, who was the youngest among them and of the same age as Tang Lao, had been waiting with him for over two hours and were now physically and mentally exhausted.

  "Nan Lao, Long Lao, Chen Lao, Fang Lao, I'd like to thank you all here for building the country." Tang Jianguo stood at the door and bowed to several old men.

  "No need to say more, Old Tang's successful surgery is a great joy! After a pause, Nan Lao looked at Tang Jianguo with a hint of humor and said: "Jianguo, you must be exhausted these past few days? Take your time to rest well, the burden on your shoulders is not light, there's still much work waiting for you to do."

  As he saw off the four elderly men getting on the car and leaving, Tang Jianguo's face was filled with thick joy. Before Old Nan left, his words seemed ordinary, but he knew that this time he had taken a step further into the inner circle and had great hopes. As he turned around to walk inside, his eyes held a hint of strangeness as he looked at Mo Shaokun.

  At this moment, he had already figured it out. What he feared was that Old Man Nan taking Mo Shao Kun as his grandson was also the intention of their own family's old master. Otherwise, with Old Man Nan's identity and status, how could things have turned out like this?

  No one knows that Mo Shaokun's arrival has quietly changed history! Following the trajectory of history, Tang Lao never woke up again after falling into a coma and passed away on June 21st, 1994.

  But today is already June 25th, history has deviated from its original track...
