21st Century Necromancer

After learning from Chen Yu that it was possible to operate on the old principal, Xu Xiaohong naturally relayed the news back to China as soon as possible.

Both Xu Xiaohong and Chen Yu held the old principal in high regard; this was not simply because he was the principal, but more so because of his decades of dedication to the school and its students, instilling in every pupil a heartfelt respect for him.

Not to mention that this medical college was just an ordinary second-tier provincial institution. While it certainly wasn't penniless, thanks to funding from higher authorities, the school's teaching and research expenses still relied on Vice Principal Zhao continually seeking donations—it was naturally unthinkable that there'd be surplus funds available for scholarships.

Yet the school had a scholarship program in place to aid impoverished students.

This scholarship was established over twenty years ago when the childless old principal and his wife donated their life savings to aid students facing financial difficulties in pursuing their education. Even before that, the old principal and his wife had been supporting needy students, helping many who could not afford schooling return to the classroom.

Moreover, the old principal was known for his rigorous scholarship. Despite being the principal for so many years, he persisted in teaching students himself. His lectures were lively and humorous and beloved by the students, which was another major reason for the respect he commanded.

Upon receiving the news forwarded by Xu Xiaohong, the domestic response was swift; they promised to arrange for the old principal's overseas treatment immediately and asked Xu Xiaohong to stay in Japan to make the necessary preparations.

"Mr. Chen Yu, how confident are you about the surgery?" When Hiromi Jounouchi got home, she naturally asked Chen Yu with concern. With a diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stage IV-A and a tumor thrombus in the right atrium of the heart, one could tell just by the name how difficult this condition was to treat, and she couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about her boyfriend's capabilities.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, wasn't as worried as Hiromi Jounouchi. Hearing his girlfriend's concern, he reassured her with a smile, "Without seeing the specific medical records, I can't say for sure how confident I am. After all, not everyone has Daimon-san's absolute confidence in never failing. But based on what my aunt described, I think there's about a 70% chance of success for the surgery."

"70%? You actually believe you have a 70% chance of success with such a difficult operation, Mr. Chen Yu?" Hiromi Jounouchi was immediately astonished.

The old principal's condition required simultaneous surgery on the liver and the heart. Moreover, the heart couldn't be cut open, and the liver had to retain 20% functionality. Taken separately, each part would challenge the average surgeon, let alone conducting both surgeries at the same time.

It was no wonder that her surprise was unavoidable given Chen Yu's assertion of having a 70% confidence level.

"I'm confident I can remove the tumor in the heart. Although not cutting open the heart makes it much more difficult, it's not impossible to extract the tumor. Although the exact situation can only be confirmed after an examination, I am confident in removing the tumor," Chen Yu explained to Hiromi Jounouchi with a smile.

Despite the operation's difficulty, he still appeared very confident in front of his girlfriend.

Although Chen Yu tried to appear completely confident, he could not dispel Jounouchi Hiromi's concerns, and she continued to worry, asking, "Even if you can remove the tumor from the heart, what about the liver? Hepatocellular carcinoma itself is a very difficult malignant tumor to treat, and the situation with Stage IV A is even more serious.

Normally, surgery would not be recommended for such a condition, only drug therapy to extend survival time. Mr. Chen Yu, how do you plan to perform this surgery? It's true that photonic sculpting technology can mark tumor locations and facilitate surgery, but it does not reduce the difficulty of the procedure. Are you really confident?"

"I really can't say I am sure," Chen Yu said with some distress, scratching his head and showing a bitter smile, "Before I conduct a thorough examination of the principal, I can't determine the extent to which his liver tumor has developed.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignancy, and without seeing the specific test reports, I can only say that as long as the proportion of normal liver cells is above 20%, I am confident I can complete the surgery."

Hearing this, Jounouchi Hiromi's worries were slightly eased, but she still suggested to Chen Yu, "In that case, Mr. Chen Yu, let Daimon-san help you! With her level of surgical skill, if she assists you, the two of you performing surgery together, one in charge of the heart and the other of the liver, then there is definitely no problem!"

However, much to Jounouchi Hiromi's surprise, Chen Yu did not accept her proposal. He shook his head slightly and said, "Getting Daimon-san to help would solve the problem, and even letting Daimon-san do the surgery by herself might have a higher success rate, but I don't wish to do that."

"Mr. Chen Yu?!" Jounouchi Hiromi looked at Chen Yu in surprise, not understanding why he would refuse the offer to seek help from Daimon Michiko.

Facing Jounouchi Hiromi's astonished gaze, Chen Yu apologized to her, "I'm sorry, Hiromi, but I do not intend to ask Daimon-san for help with this matter."

"Eh, why?" Jounouchi Hiromi looked at Chen Yu, puzzled, not understanding the choice her boyfriend had made, "Getting Daimon-san to help with the surgery would be most appropriate, wouldn't it? With her surgical skills, she would certainly coordinate perfectly with you to heal the principal, so why..."

"Hiromi!" Chen Yu took his girlfriend's hand, interrupting her and earnestly said, "That is my teacher, my principal! I want to save his life with my own hands. This is not just a doctor hoping to cure a patient, but also a student wanting to heal their teacher.

Of course, I could ask Daimon-san for help, but I am also a doctor. Do you expect me to seek Daimon-san's assistance whenever I come across a difficult case, regardless of whether I can cure it? As a doctor, I will always encounter patients I haven't seen before or haven't treated before. What should I do if one day I encounter a case Daimon-san can't help with?

Besides, I am confident about this surgery, and I am not just being reckless. I have a plan for the surgery. Once I get the medical records and test reports, I am not bragging when I say I have a seventy percent confidence in completing this surgery. So, you don't need to worry so much, Hiromi. I can complete the surgery."

Seeing Chen Yu's serious demeanor, a helpless, wry smile appeared on Jounouchi Hiromi's face. She reached out and touched his cheek, "You really are impossible! At the very least, you must promise me one thing—let me be the anesthesiologist. As your girlfriend, I want to provide you with the strongest support when you face difficulties."
