Zhou Can conversed with Lu Fen, the only remaining family of Director Lu Xiangbei, outside the ICU amid anxious crowds. Determined to visit the comatose director, Zhou Can approached the visitation window with Lu Fen's help. The veteran nurse strictly enforced sterile protocols, rejecting colleague visits without family authorization and urging them to wait.

Inside the office, she diligently carried out her duties.

As the on-duty nurse in the ICU, her responsibility was to limit visits from relatives and unrelated people as much as possible.

Lu Fen was, in the end, only a university student, readily convinced by the veteran nurse with mere words.

"Dr. Zhou, thanks for coming all this way to see my father. The hospital isn't permitting visits right now. Maybe return when he regains consciousness!" She thought that since her father lay in a coma, Zhou Can's visit wouldn't help much anyway.

"Find another approach. As a doctor, I need to check Director Lu's actual state in person. For high-fall traumas, particularly those with organ damage and brain hemorrhage, surgery should happen fast. ICU care counts as a cautious option."

To this somewhat innocent college student, Zhou Can could merely drop subtle hints about these issues.

Certain matters couldn't be voiced directly.

Still, as someone deep in the field, he knew the unwritten rules of the profession all too well.

Deputy Director Lu remained unconscious now, his life hanging by a thread at any second. No facility would gamble on surgery yet. For the moment, conservative steps were essential to steady the patient's life signs to the utmost.

Only after the patient stabilized enough for the knife would they proceed to brain or chest surgery.

"I see. Fine, I'll go plead with them once more to check if it's possible."

She dashed back to bargain with the senior nurse.

Zhou Can stayed out of it.

He simply lingered in the back, observing with detachment.

Right then, three white-coated physicians hastened from afar. The frontrunner appeared past fifty, trailed by a youthful man and woman.

All three wore tense looks, their countenances somber.

The young male physician surged forward a couple paces, hitting the ICU buzzer.

Zhou Can's spot at the bend let him see both the waiting zone and the hall beyond the ICU doors. Their frantic pace and grim faces indicated a race against death.

Emergencies like this struck often in Tu Ya's Intensive Care unit. When the shift doctor faltered, they'd summon the head for aid.

The pair of young physicians sensed Zhou Can watching. The man shot him a casual glance before averting his eyes.

The female junior doctor showed similar aloofness, a trace of haughtiness in her gaze.

No surprise they acted superior— so youthful, yet shadowing a top physician, clearly favored and learning fast.

Zhou Can paid no heed, keeping his stare steady and composed.

He'd passed that cocky young stage himself and empathized fully.

They'd shift only after encountering true masters and grasping that skies beyond skies exist, slowly turning modest.

"Director Xiang, at last you've arrived! Bed 13's patient just suffered breathing collapse, sharp blood pressure plunge, and baffling critical signs. Director Zhao and Dr. Hee are leading their crew in a desperate rescue effort."

The door swung open, and the nurse's face brightened as she rapidly briefed the arriving man on the crisis.

"Got it."

Director Xiang gave a grave nod and strode right inside.

"You two, get into sterile gear fast—this looks like a brutal fight ahead."

His final words targeted the young duo.

Once inside, a worried kin stepped up asking after their loved one, but the nurse blocked them sharply. The ICU entrance sealed shut.

A ripple stirred in Zhou Can's chest. Director Xiang commanded immense respect in Intensive Care Medicine.

Xiang Fei was his true name, a celebrated expert from Provincial People’s Hospital. Patients and kin might not know him, but in critical care realms, he shone as the "Nemesis of King Yan."

With a titan like him charging to rescue, the patient's peril must exceed expectations.

Regular ICU specialists couldn't cope anymore.

"How I wish to behold Director Xiang's life-saving prowess firsthand!"

Zhou Can had built his path at Tuya Hospital, grasping its physicians' basics.

But he'd long itched to gauge the true might of rival Provincial People’s Hospital.

Humans work this way: once abilities peak at a point, the heart yearns for mightier foes, vaster horizons.

Primitive folks in ancient times seldom wandered more than ten kilometers from their homes throughout their lives, yet modern people possess the ability to roam the entire globe. Countless individuals jet off overseas for vacations, education, or employment.

Within a hundred or two hundred years, humanity might come to view the moon simply as Earth's personal backyard.

Or perhaps even manage to establish colonies on far-off planets.

Even though Zhou Can mastered various medical techniques up to the junior director level, he deeply desired to venture beyond the confines of Tuya Hospital.

To meet even more esteemed medical experts.

Lu Fen continued her discussion with the on-duty nurse.

Lacking any insider ties, everything had to follow official protocols, which invariably brought endless hassles. A straightforward visit to a patient could encounter all sorts of barriers.

Back at Tuya Hospital, Zhou Can could have entered without a single hitch.

At this moment, patiently waiting outside remained the only option.
