Chapter 367: 367: Where is Zhan Lichuan?
As she continued with the acupuncture, the torturing pain kept triggering each and every nerve in Zhan Lichuan’s body. Other than the vigorous action from before, he never made a single sound afterward.
In order to prevent anyone from touching this man and causing him to puke just like before, Jing Qian was considered to be extremely understanding as she became both his nurse and surgeon. She would constantly wipe off his sweat for him.
“The nerves around your thoracic vertebrae have been reconnected, but since you have been paralyzed for months, the rest of the spinal cord has been damaged as well. There are about five lumbar and another five sacral vertebrae left. You’ll have to bear with me. Once I am able to reconnect all of them, your entire body will feel much better.”
“Alright, don’t worry about it. I’m fine.”
Before starting the acupuncture on the lumbar spine, Jing Qian injected another dose of anesthesia for Zhan Lichuan.
The new session began from the last thoracic vertebrae, and as it entered the lumbar spine, it encountered a little blockage but it soon became smoother.
Each time the nerves got reconnected, it would bring a huge amount of pain for Zhan Lichuan, but he bore most of them.
The surgery was already considered a success at this point. As for the rest of them, even if it wasn’t in the operating theater of Lawrence Institute, Jing Qian would still be able to complete them.
Since the artificial vertebrae and nerves were placed into position, the rest of them could be easily settled by the silver needles alone. This would help Zhan Lichuan restore the damaged nerves.
However, it wasn’t easy for her to buy all these luxury herbs, so it would have been a waste if she didn’t use all of the spring water.
Hence, Jing Qian continued with acupuncture. As she helped reconnect his nerves, she proceeded with transferring the spring water, and at the same time, she was building up her inner ‘Qi’ as well.
The quiet operating theater was immediately surrounded by an eerie silence.
When the surgery first started, there were two vans that stopped at the entrance of the institute. When the passengers alighted, all of them were completely covered, only revealing their eyes. These men had a rifle in their hands.
It was obvious that they were trained. The first group of them controlled the guards that were at the entrance while the other group dashed toward the medical personnel.
The Lawrence Institute was not located in H City. This place was considered a place for them to stay, practically a rest stop for those belonging to the Lawrence Institute. The professors who would travel to H City for their patients can opt to stay here if they did not want to stay at a hotel.
Therefore, the defense here was much stronger with two mercenaries guarding it, but the attackers had obviously thought of this before attacking them.
This was because, among these men, there were five of them who were mercenaries as well.
5 v 2. They already knew the outcome of the mercenaries hired by the Lawrence Institute.
As the men rushed into the room, they immediately grabbed onto one of the young doctors with specs.
“Speak! Where is Zhan Lichuan?!”
Simultaneously, the rest of the men had already grabbed onto the other young doctors in the room.
All of them were asking them the same question.
Everyone in the room was trembling in fear, and all of them pointed in the same direction.
One of them commanded those that were closest to the door. As they quickly rushed into the room that was pointed, they realized that there was nothing inside the room.
“You’re lying?!”
Seeing how the young doctor was about to be killed, the doctor with specs immediately shouted, “It’s below it! Below! The operating theaters are all downstairs! The areas on this floor are just waiting rooms!”
Then, a few of them held the doctor captive and entered the room.
The doctor made a call, pressed a few buttons, and the room started sinking.
The men grabbed onto the rifles and were ready to shoot.
The doctor that they were holding hostage suddenly moved.
The man who appeared to be timid and a coward, afraid that he would be injured, suddenly grabbed onto the arm of the man holding him hostage and threw him onto the ground.
