Chapter 324: Chapter 323: Misplaced Anger
A very serious case of group violence occurred at a vocational and technical college in Binhai.
Apparently, a few young thugs from off-campus got into an epic armed brawl with a group of hot-blooded students.
Both sides used "weapons of mass destruction" like watermelon knives, kitchen cleavers, and steel pipes. They had even drunk some liquid courage beforehand to boost their nerve.
The scene was as grand as it was brutal.
It was comparable to a large-scale battle from a gangster movie. You could say it was a scene of severed fingers and ears flying, with spurting blood painting the evening sky.
The Affiliated Hospitalâs trauma surgery department alone took in four adolescent patients with severed fingers.
Yan Feifan and Yu Suye were each in charge of one finger reattachment surgery...
"Wakey-wakey. Look at the time, and youâre still sleeping?"
"Tsk, tsk. Holding each other so tightly. Arenât you two lovebirds sweet..."
In a daze, Yan Feifan heard an annoying voice.
âBut why does this voice sound so familiar...?â
It was Mrs. Yuâs voice!
Recognizing the voice, Yan Feifan shot bolt upright and opened his eyes to see Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Yu standing right in front of him.
And he himself...
...was holding Yu Suye tightly. Or more accurately, Yu Suye was holding him as they lay on the sofa in the research office.
Last night, they hadnât finished surgery until three or four in the morning. Instead of going home, he and Yu Suye had decided to just rest in the research office.
Yan Feifan rolled over and sat up.
His movement woke Yu Suye, who, after a moment of confusion, immediately took in the scene before her.
And then...
...the girl pulled a blanket over her head, hugged Yan Feifanâs legs like an ostrich, and burrowed into the sofa.
"Oh, come on, whatâs there to be shy about? Itâs not like weâre watching a live broadcast of you two lovebirds in action..."
"Thatâs enough..."
Qin Ying cut off Mrs. Yuâs teasing. She then said to Yan Feifan and Yu Suye, "Iâll give you ten minutes to get ready."
With that, she walked out of the research office.
Mrs. Yu also reluctantly shuffled out of the room...
A little over ten minutes later, Yan Feifan and Yu Suye, having changed their clothes and freshened up, reappeared before Qin Ying, Mrs. Yu, and He Junxing, looking completely refreshed.
As they ate the breakfast He Junxing had bought for them, Mrs. Yu spoke up. "Letâs use this relatively free time this morning to discuss the trial for the penile reconstruction surgery."
"There are two key control points. The first is the graft between the pubic bone and a phalanx from a toe. The second is the graft of the segment of corpus cavernosum that will serve as the glans."
"As for stretching or splicing the nerves, blood vessels, and ureter, thatâs not a huge issue for us."
Yu Suye said hopefully, "It would be great if a brain-dead patient donated their body for us to experiment on."
"After the surgery, we could even use destructive bio-electrical stimulation to verify whether our operation was a success."
Mrs. Yu snorted. "You can forget about such a good thing happening. The organ transplant team would definitely harvest the organs at the first opportunity."
"We can only use a fresh cadaver for the surgical experiment."
"As for the surgical outcome, weâll just have to rely on our experience to make a comprehensive judgment."
At this point, she glanced at Qin Ying and continued, "Which is just as well. Itâll give *someoneâs* experience a chance to be useful, so she wonât just be along for the ride and a mere spectator the whole time."
Qin Ying gritted her teeth but didnât retort.
Yu Suye quickly jumped in to change the subject. "Um, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Yu, shouldnât we do some animal experiments first?"
Mrs. Yu shot her another look. "Apes and monkeys, which have anatomies similar to ours, all have a baculum."
"We can, however, draw on our knowledge of their physiology."
"Thereâs plenty of existing data on that, so thereâs no need to dissect the poor things for research..."
The group discussed for a while and came to a decision.
In reality, Mrs. Yu basically took the lead; it was her one-woman show.
"Alright, this Wednesday, weâll perform the first experimental surgery."
"Weâll explore, identify problems, and solve them during the experiment."
"Anything else to add?"
Seeing that Qin Ying, Yan Feifan, and Yu Suye were all silent, Mrs. Yu waved her hand. "Then itâs settled."
"Itâs Monday, and I have a ton of things to take care of."
"You all continue the discussion. Iâm leaving. If any issues come up, just call me."
With that, Mrs. Yu turned and left.
But after just two steps, she stopped, turned her head to Yan Feifan, and asked, "Kiddo, you have any plans for tonight?"
"Not yet!" Yan Feifan replied.
Mrs. Yu said, "Oh. Well, you do now."
"You had surgery yesterday, and I was busy with other things, so the Qi Familyâs thank-you dinner, originally scheduled for last night, didnât happen."
"Since you donât have plans, and I donât either, letâs just do it tonight."
"Yu Suye, remember to come along too..."
After Mrs. Yu disappeared out the door of the research office, Qin Ying said with a dark expression, "Iâll let you be smug for a little while longer..."
Yan Feifan and Yu Suye, who had been standing by and heard everything clearly, couldnât help but exchange a glance. They silently warned each other to be careful not to become the target of Mrs. Qinâs foul mood.
However, this also made them even more curious about the identity of this mysterious patient, someone who could make the proud Mrs. Qin swallow her pride and cooperate with a rival...
ăAround ten-thirty in the morningă
A persistent knocking at the door rescued Yan Feifan and Yu Suye from Mrs. Qinâs harsh critique.
At the door was a plainly dressed couple in their early thirties, holding the hand of a little girl who looked to be four or five years old.
The moment Yan Feifan saw the little girl, he knew why they were here.
After looking at the medical records they handed over, Qin Ying also became interested.
"Genital malformation, bifid scrotum, micropenis resembling a clitoris and recessed within, hypospadias..."
Qin Ying glanced at the little girl timidly hiding behind the young mother and asked, "Is this the child?"
The young mother nodded. "Itâs all thanks to Mr. Yan for spotting that something was wrong right away."
"Otherwise, it might have been too late."
Qin Ying sighed softly. "Itâs still a bit late now, but discovering it earlier is always better."
She then asked, "Did you receive estrogen injections to prevent a miscarriage?"
The cause of this type of genital malformation in children is complex, and there is currently no definitive etiology.
But one thing is certain. Among pregnant women who take measures to prevent miscarriage for various reasons, the earlier they start taking themâespecially estrogen injectionsâthe more severe the hypospadias will be, should it develop.
Hearing this question, the young motherâs voice involuntarily took on a tearful tone. "I was so anxious at the time. I wanted to use every method possible to save the pregnancy."
"I never thought it would end up harming my child, WAH..."
Not wanting to see a scene unfold, Qin Ying interrupted, "So, youâre here because...?"
The childâs father quickly said, "Mr. Zhao from pediatrics said our child needs corrective surgery for her external genitalia."
"And in this area, Mr. Yan is the expert..."
As he said this, the father noticed Yan Feifanâs appearance. He was astonishingly young.
A hint of doubt couldnât help but creep into his voice.
Yan Feifan didnât take offense. He smiled lightly and said, "This type of corrective and reconstructive surgery isnât actually my specialty."
"However, I will ask Mr. Wang from the plastic surgery center for you and have him recommend a true expert in this field."
After seeing the family of three off, Qin Ying listened with great interest to Yu Suyeâs vivid account of the matter.
"Feifan, very good. Your observation skills are sharp. Keep it up!"
After offering a word of praise, Qin Yingâs expression darkened again.
"Now, letâs get back to the previous issue."
"Yan Feifan, Yu Suye, did your brains just short-circuit, or has being in a relationship made you both stupid and foolish..."
