Chapter 772 -771: Keep Up the Good Work

“Boss, we really didn’t go around gossiping…”

Ye Lin’s face was full of solemn assurance, stopping just short of swearing an oath, while Xv Shuang also wore a wronged, pitiful expression.

“Um, shaking my head or pursing my lips… I might have done that. It was probably a subconscious reaction at the time.”

“That part of him… it really is…”

Seeing that Yan Feifan was about to glare, Ye Lin quickly and obediently admitted her mistake, “Boss, we were wrong. We didn’t treat the patient with the professional attitude of medical staff.”

Xv Shuang lowered her head, looking pitiful, and chimed in, “Boss, I was wrong too.”

“I thought that since we used to be colleagues in the same department, we could be a bit more casual.”

Yan Feifan said with a serious expression, “During work hours, you must maintain a professional attitude, no matter who the patient is.”

“This is even more true for people you know.”

“Because of their illness or injury, their mental state can change, making them more sensitive to others’ reactions.”

After a pause, Yan Feifan added in a solemn tone, “As for whether you were gossiping or not, this time, I’ll believe you.”

“I hope you don’t betray my trust. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe.”

Yan Feifan then instructed, “Now, have Mr. Liu take you to Dr. Tang to apologize for your unprofessional attitude…”

After waving the two young women away, he received a visitor who had come looking for him.

She was a middle-aged woman who was very well-maintained, dressed elegantly, and possessed a graceful charm.

“Mr. Yan, hello! I am He Rou, the wife of the chairman of Wentai Group.”

After introducing herself, the visitor took a thin envelope from her exquisite handbag.

“I’ve heard that you, Mr. Yan, are leading a medical research project on using infrasound to awaken comatose patients, and that you’ve made significant progress.”

“Inside is a cashier’s check for one million!”

“I intend to donate it to the R&D project you’re leading, Mr. Yan, the one on awakening comatose patients.”

Yan Feifan didn’t take the envelope she offered, saying politely, “Ms. He, thank you for your generous support!”

“May I ask what specific requests you have?”

He Rou deftly spun the envelope in her hand a couple of times and said slowly, “Mr. Yan, I’ll be direct.”

“This money… I’m not donating it for nothing.”

“My son… two months ago, he fell into a coma after drowning.”

“Although we sent him to the best clinic in the United States, the Meilin Clinic, at the earliest opportunity and he received the best possible treatment, he still hasn’t woken up.”

“From what I understand, you, Mr. Yan, are hailed as a once-in-a-century genius doctor with incredible medical skills. And now you’re also leading a research project on awakening comatose patients.”

He Rou elegantly twirled the envelope in her hand again and said, “Mr. Yan, this is just the first donation.”

“If you can wake my son up, there will be a much larger one to follow.”

Yan Feifan let out a soft “Oh?” then said, “Ms. He, I’m afraid I must refuse your generosity.”

“Why?”

He Rou was a little surprised, her thumb and index finger tightening their grip on the envelope.

Yan Feifan patiently explained, “Ms. He, the causes for a vegetative state are many and varied. The methods for waking a patient differ depending on the cause of the coma.”

“Our research project on awakening patients focuses on those in a vegetative state due to brainstem injuries. Your son, on the other hand, is in a coma caused by oxygen deprivation from drowning.”

“Therefore, your son’s condition does not fall within the scope of my research project.”

“I’m sorry, Ms. He!”

He Rou took a moment to digest Yan Feifan’s words, then said anxiously, “Mr. Yan, can’t knowledge from one area be applied to another?”

“Since your awakening method is effective on those… what was it, brainstem-injured patients, it might have an effect on my son too, right?”

“Mr. Yan, why don’t you start another research project on awakening comatose patients who drowned?”

“Just name your price!”

Yan Feifan explained once more, “Ms. He, this isn’t a matter of money. The research scope for these two types of vegetative states is vastly different.”

“With our current manpower and energy, we can’t handle both at the same time. We can only choose one.”

“I’m sorry, I really can’t help you…”

At a signal from Yan Feifan’s eyes, Duan Yu, who was standing to the side, escorted the deeply disappointed woman out of the office.

A moment later, Duan Yu returned and said with great interest, “Mr. Yan, do you know who her son is?”

“Is her son famous? Or someone I know?” Yan Feifan asked in return.

Duan Yu chuckled and said, “Guan Zhe!”

‘So it was him. The guy who pursued Yu Suye in a supercar.’

‘He used to be so impressive and conspicuous, but now he’s just a comatose patient lying in a hospital bed, oblivious to the passage of time.’

This suddenly gave Yan Feifan a feeling that the world had changed, and things were no longer what they used to be.

“Sigh… Duan Yu, that cruise ship accident at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where it collided and capsized—has that been dealt with?”

Duan Yu hummed in affirmation and explained, “Over a dozen people were held responsible for the accident. The financial liability was primarily borne by the cruise ship’s owner, which is Wentai Group.”

“They threw around over a hundred million in compensation, and the matter was settled.”

Yan Feifan said, “Oh,” and then remembered something else.

“Liao Ziqiang was also injured in that accident. Do you know how he’s doing now?”

Duan Yu nodded and said, “That guy finished his plastic and reconstructive surgery in the United States and returned to the country last month.”

“Mr. Yan, you’ll definitely be interested in what he’s doing now.”

Yan Feifan looked up and glanced at Duan Yu, signaling her to stop being mysterious and get on with it.

“Mr. Yan, that guy got fifty million in startup capital from his father. Right now, he’s recruiting people and gearing up to copy your infusion controller.”

Yan Feifan was taken aback. “Someone’s really trying to copy our product?”

He then muttered to himself, ‘This guy… he wouldn’t be doing this out of a personal grudge, would he?’

Duan Yu said with a straight face, “Mr. Yan, that possibility can’t be ruled out.”

As she said this, Duan Yu took out her phone, pulled up a photo, and showed it to Yan Feifan.

“Mr. Yan, this is what he looks like now.”

Yan Feifan looked at the photo on the phone screen. The first thing that caught his eye was the prominent, large nose, followed by the tight, upturned upper lip.

‘Objectively speaking, the reconstruction of the nose and lip was pretty good. Not ugly.’

‘But it gave off an unnatural feeling. You could tell at a glance that he’d had surgery.’

Yan Feifan thought to himself, ‘If I had done this guy’s reconstructive surgery, it would definitely look much more natural and pleasing to the eye.’

“He probably thought that just because he was injured, I was supposed to obediently rush over and perform his surgery.”

“After all, his family is rich!”

Yan Feifan shook his head with a scornful laugh, then asked doubtfully, “Duan Yu, how do you know so much about these people?”

Duan Yu put away her phone and said softly, “Mr. Yan, I am a professional bodyguard.”

“Besides protecting you from sudden dangers, my more important job is to prevent threats and eliminate them in their nascent stages.”

“Mr. Yan, I’m not just idling around all day. I’m constantly gathering information on people who have had conflicts or interactions with you.”

Yan Feifan had a moment of realization.

“So you weren’t just playing on your phone and computer all this time. I misjudged you.”

“Duan Yu, good work. Keep it up!”

After offering his praise, Yan Feifan gave another instruction, “From now on, Duan Yu, unless it’s something urgent and important, don’t let anyone disturb me.”

“I need to think carefully about tomorrow’s surgery…”
