Chapter 460: Chapter 337: The Formidable Old Man

After confirming the girl was physically fine, Qin Feng and Chen Jiang left as well.

They had matters to attend to in their own departments, and with Director Qian Hong monitoring the situation here, it was sufficient. Moreover, the police, to prevent any further incidents, had arranged for 24-hour close protection.

In mild terms, this situation was about not wanting the child, and after reclaiming the child, it might not lead to severe consequences.

In severe terms, it could surely be prosecuted as an abandonment crime.

At that point, the person could be facing a prison sentence!

However, there was a bit of a problem now since the girl wasn’t married; this child lacked a birth certificate and could not be registered officially.

But those issues were her personal business now; Qin Feng’s task was to ensure the child’s surgery was successfully completed.

"Director Qin, the surgery is about to start."

"Is everyone here?"

"Both the orthopedic and thoracic departments are here."

"Alright, let’s go."

Back in the emergency room, he took the surgical stage as scheduled.

At this moment, the emergency room was bustling; all the nurses were like wound-up tops, attending meticulously.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent outpatient lobby, an unusual figure appeared.

A man in his fifties, wearing faded slippers and a white tank top, hands behind his back, walked leisurely toward a line.

Those passing by him were momentarily stunned at the first glance, then hastily stepped aside.

The man seemed unconcerned with the shocked gazes, quietly joining the end of the line.

The young man standing in front of him didn’t notice the man behind, but the girl beside him had her mouth wide open, a look of fear on her face, as she looked at the man’s head and then tugged at the young man.

"What’s wrong?"

The young man saw her expression and asked in puzzlement.

Following her gaze, he turned around and was also taken aback, then feeling a little tense, said,

"Mister, why don’t you stand in front of me?"

"No worries, young man, I’m not in a hurry."

The man smiled kindly upon hearing this, shaking his head.

Sss~

Witnessing this, the young couple gasped in shock.

What a tough man!

At this moment, a nurse quickly ran over, heading straight for the man.

"Hello sir, why are you standing in line here?"

The nurse looked at the knife sticking out of his head, anxiously saying,

"Stay right there; I’ll call a doctor over immediately."

"Hey, young lady, don’t worry, I’m really fine; it’ll be my turn soon."

Seeing this, the man waved happily, declining the nurse’s goodwill.

But how could the nurse comply?

The fruit knife embedded in his head was truly frightening, and considering its depth, it certainly wasn’t shallow. If it had hit any blood vessels or nerves in the brain, the man could be gone at any moment!

If something indeed happened in the hospital, it would be troublesome.

"Don’t stand in line; stay where you are."

The nurse quickly called out to other nurses nearby, notifying the emergency to arrange a stretcher and doctors to come over.

Soon,

The man was forcibly laid onto the stretcher and quickly pushed to the emergency room.

The arriving doctor gave a simple inspection of the wound, finding nothing besides some scalp bleeding for now.

Then they tested the man’s consciousness, which turned out fine; he was very clear-headed.

"Here’s what we’ll do, let’s get a brain CT scan first to check the knife’s insertion depth and position."

"Alright."

With that, the nurse immediately ran out.

"Sir, what happened with this knife?"

After completing a full examination, the attending emergency physician, Liu Chang, felt slightly relieved, then asked.

"It was an accident. I got into an argument with my wife; she left, and the more I thought about it, the angrier I got. So, I tossed the apple-peeling knife on the ground; who knew I’d throw it so hard that it bounced back like this."

The man sighed, explaining helplessly,

"Actually, it’s not her fault; it was just an accident. Who could’ve thought it would end up in my head? But I’m really fine; I rode my bike here myself."

Oh dear~

Liu Chang broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this.

This man!

Truly a tough guy~

If anything had nudged it on the way over, who knows what could have happened with the knife moving around?

"Doctor, I was planning to pull it out myself, but I couldn’t see the right angle. Just pull it out for me."

The man cheerfully pointed at the knife above his head.

"That won’t do!"

Liu Chang immediately and firmly refused, his expression serious,

"Sir, this concerns your brain! What if something happens?

We first need to confirm the depth of the knife and any potential danger. If it hits a vessel, it could be life-threatening.

You wouldn’t want to leave your loved one alone, would you?"

Upon hearing this, the man calmed down, not opposing the arrangement anymore.

...

Only after Qin Feng finished three surgeries did he learn about this incident.

Fortunately, the neurosurgery doctors were already handling it; the issue wasn’t significant. If the knife had gone half a centimeter deeper, it would have been dangerous.

Hearing all this, he couldn’t help but find humor, hospitals truly are fascinating places, full of all sorts of occurrences.

Nevertheless, Qin Feng still had work to do, preparing the surgical plan for the infant’s long esophageal atresia, sending it to Pediatric Director Chen Jiang and General Surgery Director Shi Hongxing.

They would handle preparations with him only needing to perform the surgery.

He had four more surgeries in the afternoon, constantly shuttling between various operating rooms throughout the day.

In the gynecology department,

A graceful middle-aged couple appeared in the corridor, their brows filled with worry and anger.
