Chapter 738: Chapter 737: Yes, It’s You

On Wednesday morning, Yan Feifan performed his usual two intrathecal tumor puncture and injection surgeries.

Afterward, he took Yu Beihua to the neurosurgery lab. There, along with Dr. Qiu Ge and her assistants, he dissected two test monkeys and several white mice that had undergone infrasound resonance testing.

To their delight, the dissection again revealed no signs that the previous infrasound resonance tests had caused any brain damage.

The last lucky test monkey and a few white mice would be kept for long-term observation.

They would be monitored to see if the infrasound resonance tests had any potential long-term effects on their brains.

By Thursday morning, Yan Feifan had performed brain tumor puncture and injection surgeries on patients brought in by Qin Feng and Dr. Kevin Vega from the United States.

In the afternoon, Yan Feifan returned to the neurosurgery department.

He, along with Dr. Qiu Ge and several technicians from Baining Medical Technology, installed, calibrated, and conducted the final inspection of the custom-developed, high-precision infrasound resonance generator manufactured by Baining Medical Technology.

Yan Feifan was thoroughly unimpressed by the device. Measuring 1.6 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 0.8 meters high, it was basically a big, boxy-looking thing, like an iron crate.

’Damn, it doesn’t have the slightest hint of cool, high-tech flair.’

He seriously suspected Yu Youlian was taking advantage of their connection to rip them off.

She claimed she was only charging them the 2.65 million cost price, but in Yan Feifan’s opinion, the R&D and manufacturing expenses for this machine couldn’t have been more than 600,000, tops.

However, when he saw the resonance frequency was accurate to 0.01 Hertz, Yan Feifan decided to let it slide.

’After all, it’s not like we can build this instrument ourselves.’

Only a handful of capable medical technology companies in the entire country could develop it to their specifications.

Moreover, Baining Medical Technology was required to sign a strict confidentiality and partnership agreement with them.

The agreement stipulated that there were to be no disclosures whatsoever regarding the instrument’s performance and applications.

Furthermore, at this stage, Baining could only produce this single unit for them.

If Baining Medical Technology were to produce similar instruments for Yan Feifan’s institution in the future, they would first have to obtain his authorization and pay a licensing fee for every unit.

At this thought, Yan Feifan felt a surge of anticipation.

’If this research on using infrasound to awaken patients from deep comas leads to a breakthrough and gets adopted worldwide...’

’...then they could make a fortune just from the licensing fees for this infrasound resonance generator.’

Filled with this pleasant anticipation, Yan Feifan, Yu Suye, and Duan Yu returned to their home at Zuimo Court, only to make a surprising discovery.

The house was bustling with activity!

Du Qiu had returned from the Phoenix Mountain Villa and prepared a lavish feast.

Yan Ziruo was there, too.

His uncle and aunt were there as well!

Seeing his aunt’s bashful expression and how she moved with such delicate care, Yan Feifan decided to play dumb and asked Yan Ziruo,

"Sis, what’s the big occasion? Everyone’s here, and you’ve prepared such a feast."

"Could it be..."

Yan Feifan exclaimed with a look of pleasant surprise, "Sis, you finally found a boyfriend and you’re getting married?"

"Get out of here with your wild guesses!"

Yan Ziruo, blushing slightly, gave her brother a light swat on the arm before explaining, "It was Uncle who called everyone together. He said he has big news to announce..."

The Yan siblings, Yu Suye, Duan Yu, and Mrs. Du all took their seats at the dining table, followed by their uncle and aunt.

At their uncle’s suggestion, they skipped the red wine this time, each pouring a glass of juice or milk instead.

"Ahem..."

Shu Lei stood up again and cleared his throat under everyone’s watchful gaze.

Then, with a grin he couldn’t contain, he announced excitedly, "Xia is pregnant! I’m going to be a father!"

"Ruoruo, Feifan, you’re going to have a cousin!"

"Really? Congratulations, Uncle! Congratulations, Auntie!"

"This is wonderful news! Absolutely wonderful news!"

Yan Ziruo and Yan Feifan both put on exaggerated expressions of surprise as they offered their congratulations.

Yu Suye, Duan Yu, and Mrs. Du offered their congratulations as well.

Shu Lei noticed their reactions were a bit over-the-top and asked suspiciously, "You all knew already, didn’t you?"

"Of course not!"

"We just found out!"

"This is the first we’re hearing of it!"

Yan Feifan, Yan Ziruo, and Yu Suye denied it in quick succession.

Their aunt, Liu Xia, smiled and looked at Yu Suye. "Su Ye, did you tell them already?"

Yu Suye gave a sheepish laugh. "Auntie, please don’t blame me. How could I possibly keep such wonderful news to myself?"

"I only told Ziruo and Feifan."

Yan Ziruo giggled. "And Duan Yu and Mrs. Du heard it from me."

"Oh, and Xiaoyu and Yanyan know too."

Shu Lei was exasperated. "So, in other words, everyone already knew."

"Ruoruo, you should know that you’re not supposed to announce a pregnancy so early. It’s bad luck for the baby."

"Is that really a thing?" Yan Ziruo asked the others at the table, looking a little worried.

Mrs. Du nodded gently. "The older generation believes so. They say there are certain taboos."

Seeing the look of self-reproach on his sister’s face, Yan Feifan spoke up. "In the past, medical care and sanitation were limited, so miscarriage and infant mortality rates were quite high. That’s where all these old wives’ tales and taboos came from."

"Things are different now. Besides, with the resources we have, Auntie will have a smooth pregnancy and deliver a healthy baby, no problem."

Shu Lei’s expression remained grim. "That may be true, but you shouldn’t completely dismiss the wisdom of our elders. You have to show some respect."

"Besides, Xia isn’t young. This is a high-risk pregnancy, and it’s her first child..."

Before he could finish, Liu Xia cut him off, annoyed. "Oh, stop your needless worrying. I may be a little older, but I’m in great shape."

"Back when I was at the restaurant, I’d be on my feet for over ten hours a day and wouldn’t even feel tired."

"Besides, Feifan and Su Ye are both incredible doctors. What is there to worry about?"

Shu Lei said with a serious expression, "The past is the past. You’re carrying a child now. It’s completely different."

"Ruoruo, Feifan..."

Shu Lei looked at the Yan siblings. "The first three months are the most critical. Your aunt can’t go to the restaurant anymore."

"And the complex where we live now isn’t a very good environment for her."

"I was thinking she could stay at your villa in Phoenix Mountain Villa to rest and focus on the pregnancy."

Yan Ziruo smiled. "Of course, no problem. Auntie and the baby are our top priority."

She turned to Mrs. Du. "Mrs. Du, you’ve raised children, so you’re much more experienced than us. We’ll have to trouble you to take extra good care of our aunt during this time."

Mrs. Du replied politely, "That’s no problem for me, but what about Mr. Yan?"

Shu Lei chuckled. "I’ve already thought about that. He can eat at the restaurant, or I can have someone deliver food here."

Yan Feifan said thoughtfully, "That’s just a stopgap measure. The house still needs to be cleaned and everything."

"Sis, we’ll need one person for the villa and another for Zuimo Court. We can’t have Mrs. Du exhausting herself running back and forth."

"We should hire another person, don’t you think?"

Yan Ziruo nodded. "I was thinking the same thing..."

Not long after they finished their cheerful dinner, Yan Feifan suddenly received a call from Ni Lei Xing.

"Yan, one of my patients has a heart. Get over here now and prep for surgery."

"Me?" Yan Feifan thought he must have misheard.

"Yes, you!"

"I’m the only one without a regular partner for the dual-surgeon technique. You, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Liang have all practiced as my partner."

"And I feel our coordination is the best."

"Stop wasting time. Get your ass over here, now..."
