My Medical Skills Give Me Experience Points Chapter 1236 - 487: The Culprit Apprehended, Fame Emerging (Part 2)

Beyond this, he magnanimously contributed a pair of police vehicles to the local precinct.

He knew that a direct monetary donation would surely be rejected by them.

Five days later, Officer Hu reached out with news of a major breakthrough in the case. Following the trail they uncovered, the authorities dismantled an underground organization specialized in contract killings and successfully apprehended eleven of the hitmen.

The investigation remains deeply complex, with the police continuing to dig deeper.

The mastermind behind the plot to end Zhou Can’s life was identified and officially taken into custody today at approximately four in the afternoon.

The perpetrator, Wu Chuan, is currently jobless and survives by trading stocks. Recently, after a divorce, he liquidated his property and experienced an unexpected windfall from the market, which fueled his decision to hire a mercenary.

This individual happens to be the former husband of Xue Yan.

In the aftermath of the flowerpot incident, Zhou Can had briefly suspected him. However, as the police investigation progressed, the description of the suspect as a man in his thirties led Zhou Can to discard that theory.

But the long reach of justice eventually triumphed; with the capture of the assassins, the police finally unmasked Wu Chuan.

At long last, Zhou Can can rest with peace of mind.

Both Wu Chuan and his hired professional will face the full weight of the legal system.

Homicide remains a grave offense.

Even an attempt on a life is prosecuted under the charges of intentional murder.

This entire ordeal has finally reached its end.

...

Zhou Can soon returned to his established daily routine of work and life.

Dr. Pu was content to have been transferred to the Emergency Department.

However, rather than rushing to integrate him into his surgical team, Zhou Can tasked him with managing patients in the inpatient ward—a trial period to gauge his capability.

Every gifted professional possesses a strong sense of pride.

A little professional tempering serves only to cultivate their potential.

Meanwhile, the graduate entrance examination drew near. Zhou Can’s life and career had been significantly disrupted by the threats against him, forcing him to scale back his surgeries and leaving him little time to prepare for the test.

Now that his life has returned to normal, he has consciously begun to reduce his clinical hours in Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Xue Yan is now aware that her ex-husband plotted to kill him.

Although she offered an immediate apology to Zhou Can, an unspoken distance remains whenever they cross paths.

Seeing Director Xue Yan less frequently is perhaps better, allowing time to soothe the lingering awkwardness.

In the blink of an eye, over half a month drifted by.

Zhou Can remained dedicated to his exam preparation without neglecting his hospital duties. With the guidance of Director Shen from Orthopedics, he drilled through a multitude of relevant test questions.

Finally, the season for the annual graduate exams arrived.

The passing year drew to a close.

Zhou Can took two days off to sit for the exams. The process was far simpler than he had anticipated. Whether this was due to his own deepening expertise or the invaluable help from Orthopedic directors who highlighted critical exam topics, his performance was stellar.

Even before the official scores were released, Zhou Can possessed the confidence of a successful candidate.

It is now December, and the preliminary scores are not expected until approximately February of the coming year.

He plans to use this interval to study for the secondary portion of the test.

He also intends to leverage his clinical time to further his medical mastery, aiming to unlock several more director-level surgical skills.

The evaluation period for Dr. Pu concluded swiftly.

Throughout the past few weeks, Dr. Pu diligently cared for the inpatients, often volunteering for extra shifts to ensure his surgical patients received superior post-operative monitoring.

Whenever he sensed that a surgical patient was at risk of complications or further decline, he would insist on staying late.

This unwavering dedication earned him the respect not just of Zhou Can, but also of Director Lou, Dr. Xu, and Deputy Director Han, all of whom recognized his potential.

The Emergency Department is often a dumping ground for doctors dismissed from other wards.

It is frequently populated by staff with poor attitudes, low competence, or questionable medical ethics.

Faced with those who lack professional integrity or a strong work ethic, Director Lou would rather operate understaffed than keep them on payroll.

This rigorous management style ensures that while the Emergency Department may not be the most prestigious, medical errors remain exceedingly rare.

Zhou Can had been highly optimistic about Dr. Pu from the start of the transfer.

Following over half a month of observation and training, he felt the time was right. He brought Dr. Pu directly into the operating theater, officially elevating him to a member of his surgical team.

Inside the OR, Zhou Can was deep in the middle of a delicate procedure.

Dr. Yang Zhi provided assistance, while Dr. Pu shadowed them, focusing on learning and observation.

The procedure Zhou Can was performing was a Level 2 surgery.

The patient had suffered a severe injury to his right hand in a past accident, resulting in significant structural deformity. While better than a claw, the mobility of the fingers was severely hindered.

After consulting with Dr. Xu, they concluded the dysfunction was largely caused by complications in the index finger.

The tendon had sustained heavy damage and had adhered to surrounding nerves and blood vessels, rendering the finger unable to flex or extend.

It remained locked in a hook-like, partially curled position.

At only twenty-four, the patient had just graduated from university. He was at a stage in life where he should be launching his career, but his hand disability had turned into a significant obstacle in the competitive job market.
