The Surgeon's Studio

That person covered his hands, his face full of anger. However, he did not dare to rage in front of Fan Tianshui.

“It’s our daughter so why can’t we speak up about it?” the patient’s mother screamed. She was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties.

What she said was what Zheng Ren was most afraid of.

Although he did not know the relevant provisions of the law, Zheng Ren knew that the patient’s biological parents had a greater advantage over him no matter what the situation.

Damn it, why had Lawyer Ge’s phone call not come in yet!

“Oh, who are you?” Su Yun walked over after finishing the call. “You’re the patient’s parents? Where’s the evidence? There are lots of liars these days.”

The patient’s parents were furious but with Fan Tianshui standing by the side like a miniature mountain, they could not flare up even if they were angry.

Zheng Ren took out the household register and slowly flipped through it, trying to stall for time.

The patient’s name was Du Chunfang. She came from a family of four and had a younger brother.

“Where are your ID cards?” Su Yun saw that Zheng Ren’s actions were very slow and immediately guessed his intentions. Although he did not know why, he still found various reasons and excuses to help Zheng Ren stall for time.

In fact, Zheng Ren did not know what was the use of stalling for time. He did not have any experience in dealing with such problems. He just relied on his temperament to stall for a minute.

Anyway, he had already made the necessary calls. The specifics would depend on whether Du Chunfang was resilient enough.

He flipped through the ID cards and compared them with the household register. Zheng Ren was slow and unhurried. In fact, he was very angry. He was so anxious that his blood pressure was skyrocketing.

Damn Lawyer Ge, why was he still not calling yet?

No matter how slow he tried to complete the matter at hand, it would definitely be over in less than ten minutes. If he made a phone call, even if it was not of much help, he could at least delay it for a few more minutes.

The patient’s mother asked, “What are you trying to do? Quickly send my daughter out!”

“If you don’t send her out now, we’ll call the police!” the patient’s father said.

Ding, dong!

The elevator door opened and a figure dressed in a suit ran over breathlessly.

Huh? Was it Lawyer Ge? Why was he still in Sea City?

Zheng Ren was stunned. He wanted to answer the phone and ask about it, but he did not expect Lin Jiaojiao to make Lawyer Ge come over physically.

“Lawyer Ge, this way!” Zheng Ren waved his hand.

A smile appeared on Lawyer Ge’s refined face. He came to Zheng Ren’s side with a slight smile.

“Chief Zheng, what happened? Did someone cause trouble?” Lawyer Ge asked as he glanced at the person in front of him.

“No,” Zheng Ren said. After that, he whispered to Lawyer Ge to explain the situation to him.

“Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re parents?” After Lawyer Ge heard what Zheng Ren had to tell him, he looked at Du Chunfang’s parents distastefully. Anyone could see the disdain in his eyes.

“Who are you?” Du Chunfang’s father asked in confusion.

“I’m a lawyer from the Capital. I specialize in such cases as your daughter’s. I’ve encountered plenty of people like you.” Lawyer Ge was very experienced with talking to people.

Du Chunfang’s parents were terrified when they heard that he was a lawyer. Although they had never seen a lawyer in their lives, they knew that lawyers were people who specialized in lawsuits.

“So you think you can do whatever you want and trample on the law? Do you think Sea City is just like your countryside? As long as you’re willing to shamelessly cause trouble, do you think that means you can do whatever you want?” Lawyer Ge did not try to reason with them, merely putting the blame on them first.

Su Yun pursed his lips.

Zheng Ren observed Du Chunfang’s expression and felt that her parents seemed to have lost their nerves. He felt slightly more at ease.

“Chief Zheng, I want to meet the client,” Lawyer Ge said.

“Okay.” Zheng Ren made a quick decision. He knew that what Lawyer Ge said might not be true. In front of the patient’s family, he could not say a lot of things.

After saying that, Zheng Ren led Lawyer Ge into the ICU.

Su Yun followed behind. He turned around and glanced at Du Chunfang’s parents with a cold gaze.

“Chief Zheng, is the patient conscious?” After entering, Lawyer Ge immediately asked about the crux of the matter.

“She’s currently in a suction machine-assisted state… Su Yun, is Du Chunfang conscious?” Zheng Ren asked.

“She’s in a stable condition right now,” Su Yun said in the simplest words possible.

“That makes the whole thing quite troublesome right now,” Lawyer Ge said calmly. “Legally speaking, when the patient is not conscious, the lover and parents have custody and can decide whether to give up treatment or not.”

Zheng Ren’s heart froze over.

“Is there no other way?” Zheng Ren asked hopefully.

Lawyer Ge slowly shook his head.

Zheng Ren was speechless.

He believed in Lawyer Ge’s professional ability. Otherwise, he would not have sat in the Traffic Police Chief’s office and looked down at everyone. It was as if he was saying that everyone present was trash.

However, now even Lawyer Ge was telling him that there were no other options left.

“Hey, you must have made a mistake.” Su Yun frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Huh?” Zheng Ren let Su Yun criticize him. He immediately recalled what he was mistaken about.

“The patient only used a suction machine to assist her breathing for a long time to avoid agitation. As such, a tranquilizer was used to calm her down. It’s not a cerebral hemorrhage, so she’s just unconscious,” Su Yun said.

“Can she recover in a short amount of time?” Lawyer Ge asked immediately.

“Yes,” Su Yun said. He waved his hand and hurried into the ICU.

Zheng Ren’s hope was greatly increased. He instructed Lawyer Ge to change into a sterile suit as the two of them followed him into the ICU.

“The patient used midazolam. Continue pumping 50mg of midazolam to calm her down.” Su Yun had seen the doctor’s advice clearly. After that, he said to Zheng Ren, “If necessary, use flumazenil midazolam as an antagonist and inject 4mg into the muscle.”

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yun said, “This dosage is a bit much. However, considering the patient’s young age and the fact that she’s facing such a situation, I still recommend this dosage.”

“Wait a moment,” Zheng Ren said. Then, he looked at Lawyer Ge and asked, “What documents do you need to sign?”

“Well, there’s a printer here. Wait for me to use my phone as a hotspot. I’ll download a document, make some modifications, and print it out. It’ll take effect after the patient signs it,” said Lawyer Ge.

Zheng Ren finally let out a long breath.

The doctors and nurses in the ICU were all dumbfounded.

He had brought the lawyer to the ICU to handle the document so quickly?

Chief Zheng was good.

The ICU was not very unfamiliar with this kind of thing. Some old people on the verge of death usually signed documents for the division of the estate in the ICU as they needed to leave behind audio-visual information.

However, this was the first time they had encountered something like this. They were allowing the patient to decide for herself whether or not to pull the plug.

“Is there anyone we can trust?” Lawyer Ge was used to seeing the dark side in people. Adding on the fact that he was pressed for time, he immediately asked such a direct question that gave Zheng Ren a headache.

Could the young man be trusted?

Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment.

While he was hesitating, the ICU door opened as Chief Physician Pan and Medical Services’ Chief Zhou walked in.
