Tuesday arrived. After having lunch in the cafeteria, Yan Feifan did not return to the Little Red House but headed straight to the Plastic Surgery Center.

On the way, he was suddenly stopped by the young nurse, Xv Shuang.

“Boss! Boss…” Running up to him, Xv Shuang took a few quick pants to catch her breath and steady her breathing. “Boss, there really is a problem!

“Under my relentless questioning, that young girl finally confessed. She said she doesn’t know whose child it is.”

“She doesn’t know herself?” Yan Feifan frowned, his brow furrowing.

Xv Shuang nodded vigorously, her small face flushed with excitement. “She said she has slept with quite a few people, so she doesn’t know whose it is.”

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Xv Shuang continued, her tone turning indignant, “The young girl said that if she didn’t sleep with those men, her boss wouldn’t pay her wages and wouldn’t even let her eat.

“She had no choice but to sleep with them!”

Hearing this, Yan Feifan felt a surge of frustration. He had the urge to raise his hand and flick Xv Shuang right on the forehead. “Xv Shuang, from now on, start with the most important part when you report something.”

Xv Shuang let out an aggrieved “Oh,” then hurriedly added, “Boss, thanks to your reminder yesterday, I noticed during this interaction that the young girl’s reactions are indeed a bit slow. She’s somewhat simple-minded.

“Previously, I thought she was just being adorkable and deliberately acting cute.

“I didn’t expect her brain to genuinely have a little problem. How come I never noticed it before?”

Yan Feifan fought back the urge to roll his eyes. He mused, “You can’t exactly spot your own flaws when looking at someone else.”

“Boss, what about the young girl?”

Yan Feifan nodded and said, “I will contact the police. You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore.”

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed the number of He Pengfei, the chief of the Dacheng Street Police Station, briefly recounting the young girl’s situation to him.

“Mr. Yan, please rest assured. We will handle this case immediately and rescue the girl right away.” After a pause, He Pengfei continued over the phone, “Mr. Yan, I also want to give you an update on the professional medical disturbance incident from last time.

“Thanks to the joint efforts and cooperation between us and the Jingcheng police, a total of seventy-one professional medical disturbers have been arrested.

“Currently, the Jingcheng police are verifying the illegal activities they were involved in, one by one…”

Ending the call with Chief He Pengfei, Yan Feifan arrived at the first-floor lobby of the Plastic Surgery Center. Coincidentally, he ran into the Thai patient, Nawa, who was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out of the elevator by a nurse. It looked like Nawa was heading out to get some sun and fresh air.

Nearly two months had passed since the massive bone-altering surgery—a combination of bone-breaking limb lengthening, bone reduction, and bone shaving. Nawa had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Not only had her net height while lying in the hospital bed increased by nearly six centimeters, but her skin had also become much fairer and smoother. The changes in her skin were primarily due to the long-term use of estrogen, coupled with the heavy application of hormone-based whitening products, as well as being cooped up in the ward without seeing the sun for a long time.

Aside from her skin, Nawa’s entire figure had slimmed down considerably, no longer giving off a bulky impression. The alteration in her physique was due in part to Yan Feifan brutally shaving down her originally large skeletal frame, but another significant reason was rapid weight loss combined with muscle atrophy.

It was impossible not to lose weight drastically when anyone lay suffering in a hospital bed for a month or two while on a strictly controlled diet. Moreover, Yan Feifan had performed nerve block procedures on several of her muscles that were hard to slim down, such as her calves and upper arms, to accelerate their atrophy.

Additionally, Nawa’s face shape had changed from its original square structure to a much more feminine oval face.

“Hi, Mr. Yan!” Nawa raised her right hand—the only part of her body that hadn’t been operated on—and greeted Yan Feifan.

Yan Feifan walked up to her and advised, “For the time being, you should stop controlling your diet.

“Eat when you need to, and try to eat as much as possible. You need to build up your constitution. In about a month, you’ll be undergoing the second surgery.”

Nawa nodded, signaling that she understood.

Yan Feifan proceeded to Wang Chuan’s office, where he found Wang Chuan, Yanyan, Yanyan’s mother Zhong Xinyi, Mrs. Hua, Jio Xin, and his own sister. He first nodded in greeting to Zhong Xinyi, then turned his gaze to Yanyan, noticing the timid look in her eyes.

“Yanyan, are you scared?”

Yanyan nodded and explained, “I’m anxious and scared, but I’m also looking forward to it. This day has finally come.”

Yan Feifan understood her feelings and said frankly, “Yanyan, I can’t lie through my teeth to you. This is going to be a rather arduous journey.

“As for today’s surgery, although it isn’t major, you will still experience pain and discomfort for a week or two.”

Yan Ziruo couldn’t help but criticize, “Feifan, you should phrase things more artfully. For example…

“‘This is the transformation from a cocoon into a butterfly. Once you endure this necessary pain, the day of your beautiful emergence will arrive.'”

Yanyan’s eyes curved into a smile. “Ruoruo, I actually prefer Mr. Yan’s straightforwardness. It makes me feel grounded!”

At that moment, Wang Chuan also spoke up. “Feifan, we discussed it with Yanyan. Since pain is inevitable, it would be better to concentrate all the suffering together at once.”

As Yan Feifan looked puzzled, Yan Ziruo took over the conversation and said, “There are still a few wounds on Yanyan’s body, especially here on her left ribs, and two spots on her right thigh that are still causing her discomfort. If she sleeps in the wrong position at night, they still hurt.

“Feifan, you should just treat them all together!”

Yan Feifan shifted his gaze back to Wang Chuan, noticing an expression of shame and embarrassment on his face.

“When I was treating the injuries on Yanyan’s body back then, my surgical skills weren’t quite up to par yet.”

Yan Feifan nodded. “Let me do an examination first…”

Following that, the group filed out in a bustling crowd and made their way to an examination room on the second floor. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yanyan’s face and neck suddenly flushed as red as blood.

Having been a frequent hospital patient, she didn’t need any coaxing. She slowly took off her hospital gown herself, leaving only her small undergarments on, and lay down on the examination bed with her eyes closed.

As Yan Feifan swept his gaze over her, he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Although the injuries on Yanyan’s body had been properly treated and had healed over many years to the point of being nearly traceless, under Yan Feifan’s Eyes of Golden Flame, he still spotted one, two, three… eleven scars. On the front of Yanyan’s body alone, there were eleven sizable surgical marks.

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but look at Wang Chuan again. This man’s psychological fortitude was truly something else. To perform surgery on his most beloved daughter time and time again… if it had been him…

Yan Feifan put himself in his shoes and thought about it… He concluded that he probably wouldn’t be able to bear it. For surgeons, the principle of avoiding operating on one’s own family members during major surgeries made a lot of sense.

Yan Feifan pushed aside his stray thoughts, put on a pair of thin rubber gloves, and began to physically examine Yanyan.

The examination revealed even more; he found four additional old injuries on Yanyan’s body that required repair. In Yanyan’s own words, for two of the spots, “Sometimes there’s a sudden creaking pain, and sometimes they feel inexplicably sore.”

For another spot, “When the weather is bad, like when it’s cold or raining, it feels sore and swollen.”

And for the last spot, “It feels uncomfortable as soon as it’s pressed.”

After finishing the examination, Yan Feifan looked at Jio Xin and said, “You can take Yanyan to prepare for surgery.” He then shifted his gaze back to Wang Chuan. “Chuan, are you going to participate in the surgery?”

Wang Chuan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. “The reason I performed surgery on Yanyan before was because I couldn’t trust anyone else.

“But now…” He patted Yan Feifan on the shoulder and said, “I trust you a hundred percent.

“This time, I’m going to act like an ordinary patient’s family member and wait in the family waiting area for Yanyan to come out…”
