Chapter 581 - 565: Secret Operation?!
Li Hanyu stood in front of the newly replaced glass window of the hospital room, tilting her powdery pale face upward.
This time, the windows are custom-made bulletproof glass, triple-layered and thickened, not easily shattered.
It wasn’t the vendor Qian Huan had previously ordered from; that vendor recently experienced a disaster, as a fire broke out due to improper operation by workshop workers and, compounded by a malfunctioning fire system, led to a tragedy of seven deaths and thirteen injuries.
The bulletproof glass from the new vendor is indeed impeccable, with prominent quality inspection numbers engraved on each glass edge, and the hospital utilized ultrasound detectors for quality checks upon reception.
In short, not only was the window of her VVIP room replaced, but all VVIP rooms’ windows were changed.
The Li family once again pushed the hospital to make upgrades and optimizations.
"Madam, the car is ready."
Hou Wendong’s voice came from her side, his body slightly bowed, his gaze subtly sweeping by.
Li Hanyu withdrew her gaze from looking toward the view of Upper City and then looked at Li Bashan and Hong Ya, politely smiling:
"I appreciate you both guarding this room, and until I return, no one is allowed near Qian Huan."
Li Bashan grunted in a muffled voice, and Hong Ya remained silent.
Hou Wendong’s demeanor was calm, but he hesitated slightly and asked again:
"Madam, where are we heading?"
Li Hanyu glanced at him, explaining casually:
"The hospital says the chances of Huan’Er waking up are slim and the surgical risk is too high, but Eternal Life Technology is an authority in the field of neural chips."
She paused,
"Eternal Life Technology is a tech company in Zone 6, and I have no contact with them, but fortunately, Hong Guang Pharmaceutical is a partner with Eternal Life Technology; I asked them to consult and gather some information.
We are now going to Hong Guang Pharmaceutical to hear their response."
Li Hanyu understood that Hou Wendong’s question was for Wang Xinfa, so her explanation was patient and straightforward.
She could roughly guess some of Wang Xinfa’s current thoughts, and the latter probably no longer hoped for Qian Huan to awaken.
Hou Wendong and these bodyguards, claimed to be protectors, but are actually monitoring.
But she couldn’t do nothing, doing nothing would arouse suspicion instead.
Li Hanyu herself was also a suspicious person, so she knew very well how to act to eliminate others’ doubts to the greatest extent.
As a mother, she was running around seeking medical help for her son, which was reasonable and logical. As long as the final result wasn’t good, Wang Xinfa wouldn’t turn against her but instead come to console her.
Li Hanyu explained while walking in high heels, creating a crisp echo in the expensive corridor.
Hou Wendong nodded, asked no more questions, and quickly followed, simultaneously summoning three bodyguards to accompany them.
The location of Hong Guang Pharmaceutical is on the edge of Zone 9, adjacent to the Scavenger Zone; through the window, one can gaze at the distant Transfer Town, separated by a river glimmering with eerie fluorescence.
Apart from Hong Guang Pharmaceutical, there are also some chemical factories located nearby, all of which are environmental pioneers in Zone 9.
After all, the environmental laws of Zone 9 only govern Zone 9 and can’t manage the Scavenger Zone!
When Li Hanyu stepped into the lobby, a department manager had already been waiting.
"Madam Li, welcome."
The other’s smile was attentive, guiding her to tour the factory.
Li Hanyu glanced around briefly, then directly stated her purpose:
"Has there been a reply from Eternal Life Technology?"
The manager understood, leading Li Hanyu toward the sitting room and saying, "We have already contacted them; you can inquire about the specific situation in a moment."
Li Hanyu instructed the bodyguards to stand at the door, and Hou Wendong followed her into the sitting room.
Inside the sitting room, a video call with Eternal Life Technology had already been prepared.
As the video connected, a clinical laboratory appeared on the screen, where a woman in a white lab coat was dissecting something, silver-rimmed glasses perched on her nose.
The department manager introduced beside her:
"Madam Li, this is Zhao Jingyi, a diligent student and assistant of Professor Zuo Bai, currently in charge of the lab, with deep expertise in neural chip technology."
Li Hanyu nodded and greeted her politely, sending over Qian Huan’s medical data.
Zhao Jingyi clicked the mouse on the computer, swiftly flipping through the information.
Zhao Jingyi adjusted her glasses and calmly stated:
"Your son’s vital signs are too weak; all indicators are below the surgical threshold. Forcibly implanting a chip carries a high risk, with a probability of success probably less than 18.7%."
Li Hanyu’s fingers clenched, her eyes instantly reddened: "Is there no other way?"
"Unless..."
The researcher hesitated,
"Unless my mentor personally conducts the surgery; the success rate might improve slightly. But due to some accident, my mentor is currently missing in Zone 9, and we have been unable to contact him..."
Li Hanyu knew Zhao Jingyi wasn’t stalling because Zuo Bai had just been on Zone 9’s TV.
Li Hanyu asked some more questions, but the answers weren’t favorable. Hou Wendong sat beside her, his hands folded on his knees like a silent monitor.
The more questions Li Hanyu asked, the redder her eyes became. When Zhao Jingyi shook her head for the third time, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if her emotions couldn’t be contained.
"Secretary Hou, could you please help me ask?"
Li Hanyu’s eyes were teary, as she handed a notebook to Hou Wendong.
The notebook was filled with pre-prepared questions by Li Hanyu, densely listed.
From the regeneration rate of neural synapses to the rejection response cycle of the chip, each question was closely related to Qian Huan’s life, clearly showing Li Hanyu had done thorough preparation before coming.
Before Hou Wendong could speak, Li Hanyu covered her face and stood up, leaving the reception room and heading to the bathroom at the corridor’s corner.
The bodyguards dutifully followed, standing guard at the bathroom entrance.
Li Hanyu lowered her head and washed her face, cold water washing away the tear marks and the remnants of vulnerability from her face.
She took a deep breath and walked into the farthest stall in the women’s restroom, casually closing the door.
After a while, a sparse sound of water flushing echoed from inside, followed by the sound of automatic flushing.
Li Hanyu walked out of the bathroom, washed her hands again, then returned to the sitting room.
Hou Wendong’s pen scratched on the paper, recording Zhao Jingyi’s responses without missing any word.
Seeing Li Hanyu return without saying a word, he very considerately took over, continuing the consultation on behalf of the emotionally unstable Li Hanyu.
Until the video call ended, the notebook was filled with neat ink.
In summary, it was seven words—implanting the chip is not advised!
Li Hanyu took the notebook, forgetting even the polite thank-you, revealing the depths of her low spirits, and she turned and quickly left Hong Guang Pharmaceutical.
Hou Wendong, who wanted to go to the bathroom, now didn’t have the time. He glanced in the direction of the bathroom discreetly before retracting his gaze and quickly pursuing Li Hanyu and the bodyguards.
Shortly after they left, the sound of flushing echoed from the farthest stall in the women’s bathroom again.
A folded note fell into the toilet, getting wet, swirling around the ceramic walls, then was swallowed by the white outlet, disappearing without a trace...
