Chapter 540 The "Successful" Surgery
Where are you now?
Having received an affirmative answer, Fourth Wife asked again.
"I'm in Pengcheng!" Wang Sanmu replied.
"Come to Hong Kong Island right now, I want to see you this afternoon!" Fourth Wife said.
"good!"
Wang Sanmu said weakly.
"Call me when you arrive!"
After saying that, Fourth Wife hung up the phone.
After hanging up, she dialed another number and said, "Third brother, are you still monitoring that mother and child?"
"Mr. Liang, don't worry, they're always being watched!"
The other side replied.
"Alright, tell your men that if they see any signs of them trying to escape, they should immediately take action and subdue them!" Fourth Wife said.
"Okay, I understand!"
"Okay, I'm hanging up now. Report back immediately if anything comes up!"
Fourth Aunt said.
After hanging up, Fourth Aunt looked at the two of us and said, "Luckily you reminded us, otherwise, given Wang Sanmu's cunning, he might very well have pulled off a clever escape and taken his mistress and child away!"
"hehe!"
I forced a smile. That's not what I was thinking at all. Who wanted to remind you of that?
However, judging from the content of the phone call just now, Fourth Wife is still very cunning. She actually sent people to keep an eye on Wang Sanmu's mistress and her son for many years.
From this perspective, she was always ready to use that woman and child to threaten Wang Sanmu.
She's like this with Wang Sanmu, so she must have a backup plan for the three of us, but because of Long Nier's presence, she won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the hospital.
Upon entering the hospital, Lui was immediately sent for examination.
The entire Lü family was waiting outside for the results.
Ten minutes later, the results of several tests came out, and the doctors held a consultation immediately.
We've seen this speed several times before.
This is the world of the rich.
With money, anything is possible; even heart and liver transplants can be done quickly without waiting.
To put it another way, if you send out the required blood type and other information in the morning, you can get a donor in a few hours or five or six days at the latest.
These private hospitals, or rather, these top-tier wealthy individuals in the underworld, have already secured donors for themselves—not just one, but at least five or six for each person.
Some of these donors were aware of the situation, while others were not.
Those in the know will immediately sign and receive money if a wealthy person gets into trouble.
Unaware of the situation, some accidents are deliberately staged, and then the family members sign the organ donation form.
This way of playing is fairly normal.
In the West, due to the development of in vitro fertilization technology in recent years, some of the older generation in elite families are mass-producing illegitimate children to reduce rejection during organ transplantation and to prepare for the future.
Many of these illegitimate children do not have names, only numbers.
Their fate was sealed from the moment they were born.
In my opinion, the West's gameplay is based on a test server model, which is advanced. As this gameplay matures, it will eventually be adopted by other regions.
"Doctor, how is it?"
About five minutes later, the consultation ended, the doctor came out, and all three wives of Gambling King Lu stepped forward at the same time.
"The situation is very serious!"
The doctor examined the three women and explained the situation.
Two blood vessels in the brain of gambling king Lui ruptured, one of which was close to the main aorta, causing severe subdural hemorrhage and requiring immediate surgery.
The key issue is that Lui, the gambling king, is already over eighty years old. His heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and other organs are in a state of semi-failure, and his physical functions are extremely poor. He could collapse at any time, and if he were to undergo surgery, his chances of surviving the operation would be slim.
"What if we don't have surgery?" Fourth Wife asked directly.
"Without surgery, there's absolutely no hope; you'll have at most a day to live!" the doctor said frankly.
"Operation!"
The fourth wife made a decision immediately.
This time, neither the second wife nor her children objected.
Opposing at this time would be tantamount to wanting Gambling King Lu dead, and no one would want to cause trouble at this time.
Besides, the second wife's previous decision to support Dr. Dong and allow Stanley Lui to recuperate has already worked.
Lui, the gambling king, now only has one chance to be saved. Given his age, this surgery is a matter of life and death.
Once the surgery was confirmed, the doctor immediately began pre-operative preparations.
"Thirteen, come with me for a moment!"
At this moment, Fourth Aunt suddenly called me aside.
"Sister Ling, what's wrong?" I asked.
"The boss is having surgery in a bit, so you'll go into the operating room with him!" Fourth Wife instructed.
"Sister Ling, do you want me to use acupuncture to deal with some unexpected situations?" I immediately understood Fourth Wife's plan.
"That's right!" Fourth Wife nodded.
"Can I go in?" I asked.
"It's alright. I've already fed everyone here at Yanghe Hospital. In a bit, you and Dr. Lin will go change your clothes. Remember, make sure the second wife and the others don't recognize you!" Fourth Wife instructed.
"Um!"
I nodded.
I agree with what Fourth Wife said about how she had already fed everyone at Yanghe Hospital.
Last time, we performed the Seven Stars Life Extension Formation for Gambling King Lui in his hospital room. Doctors and nurses even came to help clear the area and set up the formation.
Actually, the three of us are quite famous at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital. Jiang Liangan was also hospitalized there last time. Long Nier saved Jiang Liangan's life by practicing Gu in the ward, and the news spread throughout the hospital.
So, I was able to get into the operating room because, on the one hand, my fourth wife had taken good care of the doctors, and on the other hand, those doctors knew our abilities.
Over the next six days, Lui, the gambling king, underwent three brain surgeries, including drilling to remove blood clots, hemostasis and repair, and intracranial decompression, to peel away the accumulated dead blood layer by layer and stabilize the broken intracranial qi.
The surgery was a life-or-death ordeal, with his heart stopping and blood pressure dropping to zero several times. It was only thanks to the top-notch equipment and my acupuncture that I was able to pull Lu the gambling king back from the brink of death.
Sometimes, having money really does allow you to do whatever you want.
These three surgeries within six days, conservatively estimated, cost over ten million.
The surgery was relatively successful, and Lui's life was saved, but at a great cost.
Like most patients with cerebral hemorrhage, the surgery was successful, but the patient was rendered disabled.
Because Lui was older, his condition was more serious.
First, patients experience confusion, memory loss, and slowed reactions after surgery.
In his condition, he is unable to handle company affairs.
Secondly, he suffered hemiplegia. Due to damage to his brain nerves, half of Lu's body became stiff and numb, making it impossible for him to walk or stand on his own. He will have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life and has completely lost his ability to move freely.
Thirdly, aphasia and swallowing difficulties.
In other words, Lui was unable to eat or speak normally and could only survive by being fed liquid food through a tube. His speech was slurred and unclear, and his family could only communicate by recognizing his lip movements.
Fourth, all organs failed, and he will need intubation to sustain his life for the rest of his days.
This surgery dealt another severe blow to Stanley Lui's already partially failed organs, making matters worse. He has already been diagnosed with kidney failure and will have to rely on dialysis and medical devices to maintain his function for the rest of his life.
In conclusion, it's almost the same whether Gambling King Lu is alive or dead.
