I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Beidu, where the clouds live.

Deng Ximing smiled wryly, "I am very grateful to those kind netizens. If it weren't for their support, I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."

"Leaving aside distant examples, just this trip from Mo City to Beidu, if they hadn't voluntarily accompanied us the whole way, I think our family might have disappeared somewhere along the route!"

"But I must be realistic. Mr. Qin, what you know about my daughter Xiao Luo is not entirely true, or at least not very objective."

"You can't blame them. After Xiao Luo's accident, I posted many videos, and almost all of them were taken down."

"The information online is chaotic, and it is not easy to understand the whole picture. In addition, the barrier of professional medical knowledge makes it easy for some people to be misled."

Le Fei asked, "Sister Deng, what is the real situation?"

Zheng Qiuyi also said, "I know it's cruel to make you recall those things, but we need to know the specifics of the situation in order to find a way to help you!"

She had only learned the general situation before, and was so angry that she trembled and felt sorry for Xu Xiaoluo that she shed tears.

Asking Deng Ximing to recount the story in detail now would be like tearing the wound open again and rubbing salt into it!

"It's okay, I'm numb to it now." Deng Ximing took a folder out of his bag and hesitated whether to give it to Qin Ge or Zheng Qiuyi when Zheng Qiuyi reached out and took it.

She continued, "When Xiao Luo was five months old, we took her to Mocheng Boai Hospital. Cardiac surgeon Chen Bo said she had a coronary sinus septal defect and pulmonary hypertension."

"They also said that if this problem is not resolved, it will affect the child's eating, which in turn will affect development. If brain development is severely affected, it may even cause problems such as cerebral palsy and intellectual disability."

At this point, everyone except Deng Ximing and his family of three looked at Zheng Qiuyi in unison.

"Why are you looking at me like that!" Zheng Qiuyi was so angry that she was snorting hot air. She glared fiercely at Qin Ge.

Deng Ximing continued, "Chen Bo claimed that all the problems could be solved with just a basic minimally invasive axillary surgery, and that he had performed thousands of such surgeries with a success rate as high as 99%!"

"We hesitated and struggled for a long time, but finally decided to have the surgery."

"At eight o'clock on the morning of the surgery, I personally handed my daughter, who had been fasting for six hours, into the nurse's hands. Little did I know that would be our final farewell..."

She paused for a long time before composing herself, her voice choked with emotion. "They originally said the surgery would take a maximum of three hours, but we waited for four hours and still had no results. We were all panicking."

"After asking around, I was told that the surgery went smoothly and was over. I comforted myself by thinking: they're probably still stitching up the wound."

"But I was still uneasy, so I searched online for information about the surgeon, Chen Bo. When I saw a video, the sky fell down."

"The person who posted that video has a daughter in the same situation as Xiao Luo; even the pre-operative conversations were strikingly similar. The three-hour surgery ultimately lasted eight hours, resulting in the patient's death, and the family has been unable to get any redress to this day!"

"We panicked and asked everyone we could, and made many phone calls, just wanting to know the real situation inside the operating room, but all we got were perfunctory answers."

"At 4:30 p.m., we finally met the surgeon at the consultation window in the operating room. He said that Xiao Luo's condition was stable and showed me a lab report, asking me to sign it."

"I refused to sign and questioned why the situation was different from what was told before the surgery."

"Chen Bo gave another perfunctory professional speech, but then changed his tune and said that the surgery went smoothly and Xiao Luo's vital signs were stable, but there was a 50% risk."

"A 99% success rate, but that 1% just happened to occur."

"He asked us to sign again, and we refused again."

"Twenty minutes later, Xiao Luo was wheeled out of the operating room."

"She was covered in tubes, her tongue was sticking out, her feet were white, and her face and head were swollen and black. Her grandmother said she was dead..."

"Hospital staff insisted that the surgery was successful and everything was normal, and transferred Xiao Luo to the PICU."

"It wasn't until 8:30 p.m. that they allowed me to go in for a minute, and they said that Xiao Luo's vital signs were stable and that I could take pictures of the instrument data."

"They asked me to sign again, and I refused again."

"An hour later, the director of the PICU told us to prepare ourselves, saying that Xiao Luo was about to die."

"An hour later, the director of the PICU came out and told us that Xiao Luo had died twenty minutes earlier."

"I can't accept this fact. Before entering the operating room, Xiao Luo was still soft and sweet, blinking at me, but now she's a cold corpse."

Even at that point, the surgeon, Chen Bo, insisted that the surgery was successful and that it was my daughter's lack of willpower that caused the problem!

Deng Ximing raised his trembling finger and pointed to the folder in Zheng Qiuyi's hand. "I have compiled the detailed process into a document, which also contains the relevant evidence we have collected."

"Afterwards, I spent a lot of time researching this topic. The more I learned, the more doubts I had, and the more hatred and pain I felt."

"We repeatedly requested to view the surgical monitoring and the PICU monitoring footage. We wanted to know what exactly happened during those two periods, but the hospital simply dismissed us with the statement that 'the monitoring footage has no playback function'!"

"I am a man without a tomorrow, but I want to do everything I can to get justice for my daughter. If I succeed, it will be a ray of light for countless children, preventing Xiao Luo's tragedy from ever happening again..."

Towards the end, she opened her mouth several times, but couldn't continue.

Her husband and mother-in-law stood by, tears streaming down their faces.

Silence, a long silence.

"You are a respectable person," Qin Ge said, breaking the silence as he stood up. "Your whole family is respectable."

He took the folder from Zheng Qiuyi's hand and walked away.

No one said anything, and even Zheng Qiuyi tacitly approved of his impolite behavior.

Everyone fell silent again until Zheng Qiuyi spoke up, "Sister Deng, what happened after that? Did no one care?"

"Mo City is so close to Beidu, how come I've never heard of such a terrible incident before?"

Deng Ximing's husband, Xu Dachun, chimed in, "We can't send them out. No matter how many we send, they'll just delete them all."

"We thoroughly investigated Chen Bo's background and discovered that he committed academic fraud and fabricated his personal surgical experience!"

"This incident has now been classified as a medical malpractice case, and although an investigation has been launched, Chen Bo has only been suspended from his duties and had his license revoked!"

"What unspeakable things happened in the operating room during those nine hours? What happened to the daughter of the person online whose situation was similar to ours?"

"If it really was an accident, why were the timings so strikingly similar?"
