The patient who had experienced the emergency suffered from severe intestinal disease, but suddenly developed severe breathing difficulties and an irregular heartbeat.

As soon as Yan Feifan began his examination, he noticed the patient’s heartbeat sounded muddy, accompanied by severe murmurs. Knowing what to look for, Yan Feifan quickly performed a rapid ultrasound for confirmation. Sure enough, a large shadow appeared around the patient’s pericardium.

There was a massive pericardial effusion.

Yan Feifan immediately performed a pericardiocentesis, extracting nearly three hundred milliliters of blood-red pus. Once the fluid was drained, the patient’s breathing difficulties and abnormal heart rate were instantly and significantly alleviated.

With the emergency resolved, the patient could proceed step-by-step with pus analysis and further cardiac examinations. Yan Feifan wouldn’t need to intervene in anything that followed.

When Yan Feifan returned to his office on the ninth floor, he found his uncle, Shu Lei, waiting for him.

“Feifan, look! The paternity test report is fresh out of the oven, still piping hot,” Shu Lei said, beaming with joy as he smugly showed Yan Feifan the results on the report. “Feifan, see that? Taotao and I have a 99.9999% probability of a biological father-son relationship.

“That’s six nines! It’s absolutely unquestionable!”

Yan Feifan rolled his eyes. “Uncle Lei, Taotao’s surgery is done. What follows is a long recovery period of at least two or three months.

“Have you figured out what the plan is moving forward?”

Shu Lei’s smile faded. He raised a hand to scratch his head and said slowly, “Feifan, Qingyu actually talked to me about what to do next.

“You might not know this, but in Malaysia, ethnic Chinese are suppressed by those in power. It’s hard to make a living, and they’re essentially treated as second-class citizens.

“Qingyu’s idea is to have Taotao acquire Chinese citizenship and stay in Binhai for his education.”

Yan Feifan poured himself a glass of water. “If the kid stays, his mother has to stay too, right?” he asked as he took a sip. “She can’t just dump the child on you and go back to her country, can she?”

Looking a bit sheepish, Shu Lei replied, “Of course Qingyu is staying. The child needs her care too.

“She said that once he recovers, she’ll find a job within her capabilities here in Binhai…”

Yan Feifan waved his hand, interrupting him in annoyance. “Uncle Lei, you should discuss how to settle them with Aunt Qingyu and my sister.

“I’ve never had a say in these domestic matters, and I don’t want to worry about them either.”

Shu Lei chuckled. “Feifan, in the past, your sister called the shots for everything in the family.

“But now, things are different. Your status as the head of the family is unshakeable.

“Not only does your sister have to listen to you, but Aunt Qingyu and I do too.”

Yan Feifan grimaced. “Uncle Lei, you don’t need to flatter me. I’m not getting involved in this no matter what.

“You still need to discuss it with Aunt Qingyu and my sister.”

Seeing that Yan Feifan was washing his hands of the matter, Shu Lei knew better than to pester him further. He changed the subject. “Feifan, our old neighbor Fan Jiyong specially returned to the country yesterday to find you.

“You asked him for five million in medical fees right off the bat. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

Yan Feifan shot his uncle a glance. “The guy agreed without a second thought. Why are you worrying over nothing, Uncle Lei?

“It’s not like you’re the one paying!”

Shu Lei smiled unnaturally. “Even so, he was our neighbor back in the day. Shouldn’t you at least do him a small favor to save face?”

Yan Feifan scoffed. “Agreeing to treat his son is already doing him a huge favor.

“If I actually held a grudge, why would I even acknowledge him?”

Shu Lei opened his mouth, momentarily unsure of how to persuade him.

Right then, a penetrating male voice singing drifted in from outside the office.

“Secretly looking at you…

“Secretly hiding myself…

“If you are willing to peel it away layer by layer by layer…”

Someone was actually singing brazenly in the corridor outside! A surge of anger instantly flared up in Yan Feifan’s chest.

Dammit, this was a hospital!

Shortly after, the singing stopped, replaced by the sounds of an argument and shouting.

“I’m here to see Dr. Yan Feifan!”

“I want to see Mr. Yan!”

“I want to see Mr. Yan!”

The shouting grew louder with each repetition, greatly displeasing Yan Feifan. Unable to hold back any longer, he yelled, “Let him in!”

Moments later, a man in his early twenties with dyed blonde hair was escorted into the room, flanked by Feng Jian and He Junxing. He came to a stop in front of Yan Feifan.

“Hello, Mr. Yan! I’m He Chao, the ‘Little Prince of Love Songs,’ a content creator on TikTok with over a million followers.” The blonde youth introduced himself, then immediately asked, “Mr. Yan, please give me an objective evaluation… Wasn’t the a cappella I just sang at a very high professional level?”

Meeting the young man’s expectant gaze, Yan Feifan replied coldly, “You’re asking the wrong person. I’m a doctor, not a music critic.

“What exactly do you want with me?”

Looking somewhat disappointed by Yan Feifan’s response, He Chao said, “Mr. Yan, even if you’re not a music critic, you could definitely hear that the lines I just sang had strong penetration, a wide vocal range, rich emotion, and incredible appeal.

“Mr. Yan, there are plenty of professional musicians among my million followers, and they rate my singing skills very highly.

“They say—”

“Just tell me why you’re here,” Yan Feifan interrupted unceremoniously. “I have no interest in your singing skills.”

He Chao choked on his words. With a hint of displeasure, he said, “Mr. Yan, I came to you for plastic surgery.

“My vocal skills are outstanding, but nowadays, it’s an economy driven by appearances and internet traffic.

“My current looks are severely restricting my further development in the music industry.”

Hearing this, Yan Feifan finally took a good look at his appearance. Strictly speaking, the guy wasn’t exactly ugly; he was just slightly below average. Not only was the skin on his face pockmarked, but his nose was also exceptionally unsightly. He had a pig-like snout, and even when looking at him straight on, his two large nostrils were fully exposed.

While Yan Feifan was sizing up his facial features, he heard the youth say with brimming confidence, “As long as I can make a major breakthrough in my appearance, signing with a music label is a sure thing.

“Mr. Yan, relying on my excellent singing skills, I can’t guarantee I’ll become a mega-hit superstar, but reaching the A-list is an absolute certainty.”

Yan Feifan was left speechless.

This was simply a guy who lacked any self-awareness and thought way too highly of himself. Then again, what kind of standards could you expect from someone who dared to sing loudly and show off in a hospital?

“Mr. Yan, I know your surgery fees are very high, and I don’t have that much money right now,” He Chao continued. “I can owe you for now. Once I become famous and make big money, I will definitely repay you ten or a hundred times over…”

Yan Feifan deeply regretted acting on impulse and wasting his time listening to this guy’s nonsense.

Ten or a hundred times over? That was just pure drivel!

Yan Feifan cut to the chase. “He Chao, I won’t accept your surgery. Find someone else.

“Goodbye! I have other work to do.”

He Chao wanted to argue, but Feng Jian and He Junxing half-pushed, half-escorted him out of the office.

A few minutes later, He Junxing returned and handed a patient’s file to Yan Feifan.

“Mr. Yan, this is the file of a child with a cardiac malformation. She’s an eight-year-old girl, and her family is also from the countryside.

“The estimated surgery cost is no less than four hundred thousand yuan, and the procedure carries significant risks…”
