Chapter 470: Can Save, But Can Also Kill
On the next day, it was already noon when Xu Cheng woke up, and he already saw Linda waiting at the door with two handymen to repair the glass.
Xu Cheng came up from the basement and said to Linda, “Buy me lunch, I want Huaxia cuisine.”
Linda gritted her teeth as she stared at him.
Xu Cheng didn’t mind at all.
“When people are hungry, they can’t focus and their eyes might be dizzy. If you don’t want any accidents to happen during the operation, it’s best if you let me have a good meal.” Xu Cheng looked at the watch and said, “There’s still half an hour left until the operation, you don’t have much time.”
Without a choice, Linda could only rush out to buy some food, Huaxia cuisine to be exact.
When she came back with all those big and small takeout bags, Xu Cheng accepted it very nonchalantly and actually went into the yard to just eat under the sun.
Linda saw that it was time for the operation so she yelled at him, “Didn’t you say half an hour ago that the operation is in half an hour? It’s already been 45 minutes and you are still not moving? Is my boss alive or dead right now?”
Xu Cheng just ignored her and kept on eating. Linda wanted to go down to check herself, but the door was locked.
“Just let me finish eating first, what’s the hurry? You have to know, this is my first time doing surgery, I got to be careful,” Xu Cheng said.
“What?!” Linda’s eyes opened up wide. “You scammer! I’m going to call the police!”
“Go ahead, let the media know that Senator Jerry died at a sketchy lab that doesn’t even have a medical license, and you guys will be a laughing stock. You are his assistant; you are responsible for his public image, so you aren’t going to be that stupid, right?”
Linda gritted her teeth. “How is he really doing right now?”
“His heart was still beating when I came out, but I don’t know about now. Let’s just wait until I finish my meal.”
Linda endured until Xu Cheng finally finished eating.
She just watched, quietly on the side, as Xu Cheng ate the food slowly, bite by bite. When it was long into the afternoon, Xu Cheng finally took a look at the watch and said, “About time.”
Then, he got up and walked downstairs into the basement.
Linda was about to follow him down, but Xu Cheng stopped her in her tracks. “The laboratory is a confidential area, please stay out. If you are really anxiously waiting and have nothing else to do, you can maybe help me clean up the living room. I think I haven’t got a cleaner for it for about two weeks now.”
Linda stared at him. “Why me?”
Xu Cheng: “You know how he got cancer in the first place? The spread and aggravation of the cancerous cells are related to the surrounding environment. Let me just put it this way for you, even if I can successfully stop the spread of the cancer cells in his body, after he comes out and walks across this dirty area, his condition will most likely worsen.”
Linda gritted her teeth.
I will endure it!
Then, she turned around and started cleaning the place.
Closing the door, Xu Cheng smiled as he put on a mask and walked over to the freezer.
Opening the door to the freezer, he saw Jerry trembling on the operation table.
“Cold, cold!” His mouth was trembling from the chill.
Xu Cheng smiled. “If you feel cold, it means your body functions are still responding well.”
Then, he turned on his lighter and burned Jerry’s chest hair.
“Ah!” Jerry directly took in a breath and shouted, “Hot!”
“Uhm, your reflexes are good, and you can shout too, not bad,” Xu Cheng said, and he turned on his penetrating vision. Looking at Jerry’s internal organs, he noticed that his liver was still a bit damaged, but the cancerous cells seemed to have been taken care of. All that were left were the old wounds on his liver now
“The operation went pretty well, I can declare to you that you are pretty much free of cancerous cells now. But, now, when you go back, you still have to get treatment for your liver. It’s still pretty damaged, so you should eat more supplements that helps with that organ’s recovery,” Xu Cheng said
“What?” Jerry thought he was hearing wrong. “You said my cancer cells are gone? You just took a look at me with your eyes and made that statement? How come I don’t feel like you did any surgery on my body? Where’s the wound? Wait, did you not even open me up?”
Xu Cheng untied him from the operating table as he said, “It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not. You can get up and see how you are feeling yourself. In fact, you should feel a lot better than before, right? Have more confidence in me, if I said the operation is a success, then it is.”
Jerry sat on the operating table and tried to feel his own body, and he noticed that he had strength now, and he wasn’t feeling uncomfortable in any part of his body. Besides some aching in the liver when he coughed, he was really all fine!
“Sorry, Doctor, I’m just scared of being sick, and I almost gave up on myself. Holy crap, this is unbelievable! Yes, you are right, I can feel the drastic changes in my body! I’m no longer feeling dizzy and weak, and I can even see things clearly now. My mind feels very alive right now, yes, I can feel it! Yes, Doctor, I think I’m good!”
Jerry said excitedly, and he almost began dancing with his hands. “Oh, this is unbelievable! How did you do it? This is magical! Am I dreaming?”
Xu Cheng directly turned on the lighter to burn his chest hair again. Jerry screamed, “Okay, okay, it’s gonna catch on fire!”
“If you still don’t believe it, I can burn away your chest hair first so you can see if you’re really dreaming or not.”
Jerry said with red eyes as he nodded in excitement, “I believe it! Man, you are a funny guy.”
Xu Cheng tossed over Jerry’s pants and clothes and said, “I will wait for you outside. Come out when you are dressed.”
Jerry nodded, got up and walked around, waved his fists around, twerked his buttocks, and swayed his waist.
He took in a deep breath and said, “Oh, God, this is too amazing!”
He put on his clothes and when he walked up from the basement, he saw Xu Cheng preparing a bunch of documents. But, his assistant Linda was actually cleaning. She was his senior assistant and she would never do this kind of work for him normally, so the scene was a bit funny to look at.
“Oh, my god!” Linda looked at Jerry coming up, and her mouth dropped wide open in disbelief.
“Sweep your floor, you can’t leave without finishing,” Xu Cheng said. He brought his documents to Jerry and said, “Senator Jerry, this is my profile. I want to open up a medical company, and as for the medical qualifications, I will trouble you to help me out with it. Also, because I was formerly part of Huaxia’s military, the FBI seems to have a lot of time on their hands and had been quite tight on my azz. I think it’s best if you fulfill your promises, or I can’t guarantee that there won’t be any after-effects from the surgery.”
Jerry nodded sincerely. “Don’t worry, I know what to do next.”
Xu Cheng: “Oh right, leave your assistant behind for a few days. I need her to help me shower those little guys in the back and also take care of their feces.”
Linda shouted, “Why?”
Jerry: “Tsk tsk, Linda, demonstrate your professionalism. A senior assistant should be omnipotent.”
Linda: “…”
“Then, Mr. Xu, if there’s anything, you can always reach me through Linda.” Jerry shook Xu Cheng’s hands and walked out of the yard.
Outside, there should be two bodyguards waiting, but right now there was only one.
Jerry remembered that the other one was kicked through the door by Xu Cheng.
He asked curiously, “Where’s Doug?”
Bodyguard: “He’s still in a coma at the hospital. The doctor said that he had three broken ribs, and has a severe concussion!”
Jerry swallowed his spittle. “This Mr. Xu can save lives, but he sure can also kill…”
