Zhao Wen politely moved aside to make room for Liang Ruoxu.
“Mayor Liang, are you here for Lin Yi too?”
“Sort of.” Liang Ruoxu nodded. “There are a lot of people paying attention to that child in the operating theater. I’m here to observe the situation here.”
Liu Zihao’s illness was only a small part of the reason.
More importantly, she was here because of the negative news surrounding Lin Yi.
It was already all over the internet.
It was also because of this that Liang Ruoxu ended her work early so that she could clear her head.
At the same time, she hoped that Lin Yi could end the surgery as soon as possible. Otherwise, the situation online would continue to be a mess.
However, judging from the current situation, he was unlikely to come out for a while.
All she could do was wait.
Moreover, her mother was completely indifferent and wanted Lin Yi to settle it himself.
Didi’s share price in the company has now fallen to its limit down.
If he did not think of a way to remedy the situation, at this rate, he would be at risk of the share price being cut in half tomorrow!
Creak…
At this moment, the door to the operating theater was pushed open. Qiao Xin hurriedly walked out. The people standing guard outside went up to her.
“Doctor, how’s the surgery going?”
“The surgery went very smoothly. With Director Li and Director Lin around, you don’t have to worry,” Qiao Xin said.
“Excuse me, I need to leave.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Go ahead.”
The Liu family made way for her when Liang Ruoxu stepped forward and said,
“Hello, may I ask how long it will take for the surgery inside to finish?”
Seeing Liang Ruoxu, Qiao Xin straightened her expression and said, “Director Lin said that it will take at least five more hours. If you have something to tell Director Lin, I can help you pass the message.”
Liang Ruoxu thought for a moment and finally said, “Help me tell Director Lin that something happened at the company.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes, just pass that message.”
“Okay, got it.”
After giving the instructions, Liang Ruoxu turned around and left.
She did not really want to leave, but it was not appropriate for her to stay alongside Zhao Wen with her status.
It was always lonely at the top.
If was something she had to learn to avoid suspicion.
However, Liang Ruoxu did not really leave. Instead, she returned to her car and prepared to wait there.
Like how the sun rose in the east and set in the west, the crowd in the hospital similarly receded like a tide. The cold moonlight lit up the gravel ground.
Other than a few official calls, Liang Ruoxu’s call log was empty. She hadn’t received any calls from Lin Yi.
She felt even more anxious.
Firstly, she was worried about his company. Secondly, almost twelve hours had passed since nine in the morning.
Would he be able to endure such a high-intensity surgery?
Thinking of this, Liang Ruoxu became even more concerned.
However, he had once said that this was his last surgery.
If the surgery was successful, this ending should be close to perfection.
Even so, if he resigned just like that, it would be a loss to everyone.
She looked at her watch and saw that it was already 8:50.
According to Qiao Xin, Lin Yi’s surgery should be over soon.
After tidying up her attire, Liang Ruoxu walked toward the eighth inpatient department.
The entrance of the operating theater was exactly the same as when she came in during the day.
Zhao Wen had stayed back the entire time. Liang Ruoxu did not know if she had midway through the wait, but this just proved that she was looking for Lin Yi to discuss something important.
At this moment, Liu Zihao’s relatives were all pacing back and forth at the entrance of the operating theater. They were extremely nervous.
Just as the atmosphere was abnormally tense, Liu Zihao’s father exclaimed, making everyone’s hearts skip a beat.
They waited for the door of the operating theater to be pushed open.
However, it wasn’t Lin Yi and Li Chuhan who came out first. It was Qiao Xin, a few nurses, and a very weak Liu Zihao.
“Doctor, how’s the situation? Was the surgery successful?” The Liu family asked.
“The surgery was very successful. Don’t crowd around here. Let’s push the child to the intensive care unit first.”
“Okay, okay, okay.”
At the same time, Liang Ruoxu and Zhao Wen also stepped forward.
“Where’s Lin Yi?” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“Director Lin is in the operating theater. He’s so tired that he can’t move,” Qiao Xin said.
“So… so tired that he can’t move…”
Liang Ruoxu couldn’t imagine that a man as energetic as Lin Yi would ever be tired..
“The surgery is very intense. If it were an ordinary doctor, they wouldn’t even be able to last three to four hours,” Qiao Xin said.
“Moreover, Director Lin didn’t eat all day. He only drank a little water. It’s no wonder he couldn’t take it anymore.”
“Can I go in and take a look?”
Liang Ruoxu knew that this request was a little too much, so she used a probing tone.
“Sure.” Qiao Xin hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing. After all, her status was unquestionable.
“Okay, thanks.”
Liang Ruoxu pushed open the door of the operating theater in her high heels and trotted in.
She saw that Lin Yi’s eyes were closed as the latter panted heavily.
His surgical gown was already drenched. He did not even seem to have the strength to stand up.
As for Li Chuhan and Zheng Binjiang, they had collapsed in another corner of the room and had fallen into a deep sleep.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Yi opened his eyes with difficulty, “You… why are you here?”
“I was just worried about you.” Liang Ruoxu walked over and wiped Lin Yi’s sweat with the tissue paper in her bag. Her eyes were filled with gentleness.
“You must be exhausted.”
“I feel like I wouldn’t be this tired even if I had sex with a hundred women. Surgery is really not a job designed for humans.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. This isn’t a place to rest. Let me help you out.”
“Do you think I can still walk?” Lin Yi said, “My legs are so weak.”
“That bad?”
“Wait for me to recover. I’ll let you experience what it feels like to have your legs go limp.”
“You’re being indecent again,” Liang Ruoxu rebuked. “Let’s go. I’ll help you up. Don’t catch a cold.”
With that, Liang Ruoxu grabbed Lin Yi’s arm and helped him out of the operating theater.
As for Li Chuhan and Zheng Binjiang, the other nurses helped them out.
After coming out of the operating theater, Lin Yi saw Zhao Wen not far away and subconsciously asked,
“Is everything okay?”
“No problem. It’s all done according to your wishes.”
“Alright, let’s sign it together.”
The three of them arrived at an empty ward. Lin Yi fell onto the bed, unable to hold on anymore.
At the same time, the nurse brought over some Red Bull to replenish Lin Yi’s strength.
“Everything is here.” Zhao Wen handed it over. “See if there are any problems.”
“I’m relieved that you did your job.”
“In that case, I’ll go back to the hotel first. Just sign it and send it to me once it’s done.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Wen didn’t want to delay Lin Yi and Liang Ruoxu’s matters, so she left after finishing her business.
Holding the document in his hand, Lin Yi read it carefully for ten minutes.
After confirming that there were no problems, he handed the eight documents to Liang Ruoxu.
