Chapter 741: Chapter 740: I Can’t Be Wrong

Yan Feifan could do nothing about the punishment Li Songzhu and Zheng Libin received.

He could only repeatedly tell Zhang Yi that he was more than willing to offer his assistance to help the police solve the case.

Zhang Yi thanked Yan Feifan for his eagerness to help.

He also stated that if the need arose in the future, the police would request Yan Feifan’s assistance through official channels and procedures.

To show their gratitude for Yan Feifan’s immense help, Zhang Yi also gave him several thank-you gifts on behalf of the police department!

A high-end-looking coffee machine.

Two telescopic batons for self-defense, which he said could be kept in the office or car to handle unexpected situations.

There were also two military-grade shovels and two rechargeable, high-performance flashlights, supposedly for outdoor recreation and camping.

Yan Feifan accepted the gifts...

After seeing off Zhang Yi, Zheng Libin, and the others, Yan Feifan quickly took a shower to freshen up.

He changed his clothes, ate the breakfast Yu Suye had brought him, and once again hurried to the Cardiac Surgery Department.

Yan Feifan first went to the ICU ward to check the various monitored vitals of the girl who had received the heart transplant.

Finding no abnormal readings, Yan Feifan then went to the Cardiac Surgery Department’s specimen room.

He carefully examined dozens of strange-looking hearts preserved in various jars and containers, but he couldn’t find the malformed heart that had been removed from the girl last night.

He found the staff member in charge of specimen management and asked, only to receive an answer he didn’t like.

"No heart has been sent over since last night."

"Mr. Yan, there are a few possibilities..."

The staff member patiently explained, "One is that the patient or their family didn’t agree to let us keep it as a specimen or for research. They either took it with them or asked us to help destroy it."

Yan Feifan was aware of this policy.

Severed limbs or organs removed from a patient, as long as they weren’t a source of infection or had other pathogenic potential, could be taken home by the patient to be disposed of.

Of course, in most cases, patients asked the hospital to handle the disposal.

In such situations, at a hospital like the Affiliated Hospital, if a severed limb or organ had medical research value or other uses, the Affiliated Hospital would certainly make full use of it.

If the patient specifically requested that it not be used for research, the hospital would follow the proper procedures and have it incinerated.

When Yan Feifan came to perform the heart transplant last night, he hadn’t seen the medical consent forms signed by the patient’s family, so he didn’t know their wishes regarding the heart’s disposal.

The staff member continued, "It’s also possible that a doctor secretly took it as a trophy or a collector’s item."

"Mr. Yan, as you know, some doctors have rather... peculiar hobbies."

"The most likely possibility is that a doctor took it directly for dissection and research."

After thanking the staff member for the explanation, Yan Feifan left the specimen room, disappointed.

Regardless of the heart’s whereabouts, the fact that it wasn’t here meant it was out of his reach.

He had been thinking that the girl’s malformed heart was somewhat similar to Chu Xiaolong’s and wanted to study it for reference.

However, he had been in a state of excitement during last night’s surgery, and afterward, he had been busy observing the patient’s post-operative condition, so he had overlooked the matter of the heart’s whereabouts.

Yan Feifan felt a pang of regret.

’If only I had spoken up and asked during the surgery last night, the heart would have been mine to study, nine times out of ten...’

When Yan Feifan returned to the ninth floor of the Little Red House, he saw the young nurse Xv Shuang cheerfully walking out of the main office.

Their eyes met, and Xv Shuang immediately clapped her hands over her upper eyelids. She shot Yan Feifan a mischievous grin and turned to run toward the stairs.

"What are you running for? Stop right there!"

Yan Feifan called out to stop Xv Shuang and walked up to her. "No need to cover them, I already saw."

"Tell me, what’s with the tape on your eyelids and the swelling?"

Xv Shuang lowered her hands and gave another silly smile. "Boss, I got double eyelid surgery the night before last. What do you think?"

"Do they look good?"

Yan Feifan reached out, gently peeled back the medical tape on her eyelid to take a look, and his brow furrowed.

"Why is the incision so long?"

"Who did this? Even a resident shouldn’t make a mistake like this."

Xv Shuang quickly shook her head. "Boss, it wasn’t a mistake. They made it this long on purpose."

"Dr. Qiu Ming, the new director of the Plastic Surgery Center, did it."

This baffled Yan Feifan even more. "Given Dr. Qiu’s skill, he still needed to make such a long incision?"

"Xv Shuang, what exactly happened?"

Seeing Yan Feifan’s expression turn serious, Xv Shuang glanced around timidly.

However, the hallway was empty; there was no one to come to her rescue.

Xv Shuang pouted. "Boss, it was Dr. Zhu and Dr. Li. They took me to the Plastic Surgery Center and asked Dr. Qiu to do the double eyelid surgery."

"The reason the incision is so long is that they wanted to verify if my orbicularis oculi muscle was exactly the same as the one you drew, Boss."

Hearing this, Yan Feifan was seething with rage.

He asked menacingly, "Did they force you to get this surgery?"

"No, no, they didn’t force me!"

Xv Shuang could feel that Yan Feifan was genuinely furious and hurriedly explained, "I’ve wanted to get double eyelids for a long time, but I was a little scared of the pain and could never make up my mind."

"Dr. Zhu and Dr. Li not only promised to pay for my surgery, but they also each promised to treat me to a real feast."

"So, I agreed."

His anger subsided at her words.

Still, he asked again to be sure, "They really didn’t use any other means to pressure you into agreeing?"

"Xv Shuang, don’t worry. I’ve known you longer than I’ve known them. I can back you up."

Xv Shuang said with a serious expression, "Boss, they really didn’t force me. It was a friendly discussion, plus the enticement of benefits. I agreed willingly."

After a pause, she asked worriedly, "Boss, what do you think of my eyelids? Are they really going to look good?"

Yan Feifan replied earnestly, "Dr. Qiu’s skill is second only to Dr. Wang Chuan in the Plastic Surgery Center. His abilities are certainly not lacking, especially for a minor operation as simple as double eyelid surgery."

"Your eyelids are fine; they look good. The swelling will completely go down in another day or two."

He waved his hand. "Alright, you can go back to work!"

Xv Shuang let out a happy "Okay!" and was about to turn but stopped in her tracks.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Boss, aren’t you even a little curious to know if my orbicularis oculi was exactly like your drawing?"

Yan Feifan replied with a confident, slightly smug look, "Is that even a question? I’m never wrong."

Xv Shuang gave him two thumbs up. "The boss is truly the boss! Dr. Qiu had a look of complete admiration back then."

"He said he couldn’t do what you do, Boss—understand the muscle structure in such fine detail just by looking through the skin."

"Boss, you’re like a god!"

Yan Feifan waved his hand again, a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Stop with the flattery and get back to what you’re supposed to be doing..."

Shortly after two in the afternoon, Yu Beihua brought Yan Feifan the latest examination data on the bodies and brains of six patients in deep comas.

Tomorrow, he and Dr. Qiu Ge would begin experimental treatment on them using infrasound awakening therapy...
