Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1394 - 1052: The Real Tycoon_2

"From the data collected in the first experiment, it is clear that the K virus definitely triggered a strong response from Sisi’s immune system, which is very dangerous and can sometimes be fatal."

"Therefore, Yang Ping’s primary task now is to change the implantation site of the K virus, which is very important, directly affecting the interaction between the K virus and the human immune system. It is necessary to reduce its stimulation to the immune system, ideally like some viruses that do not cause adverse symptoms, or only cause mild transient flu symptoms."

---

"After the first injection of the K virus which caused a high fever, Sisi’s entire body was hugely impacted, requiring time for recovery. Fortunately, the functions of the vital organs have not shown any significant damage to date."

"Post-surgery, Yang Ping continuously conducted MRI image collections of Sisi’s various metastatic tumors, choosing MRI as the imaging examination as its biggest advantage lies in no ionizing radiation, unlike CT, PET-CT, and others that always involve ionizing radiation, which repeatedly applied can cause negative effects on the body."

"Tumor marker monitoring has also officially begun, with blood being drawn almost daily for these tests, dynamically monitoring the changes in tumor markers."

"After the high fever, Sisi’s appetite was not very good, but the young girl was sensible, knowing that not eating would slow her recovery, so she forced herself to eat more in hopes of speeding up her recovery. Her mother also varied the recipes to make delicious food for her, but regrettably, because her taste buds had not yet recovered, even the tastiest food felt like chewing wax in Sisi’s mouth."

"In fact, that situation was akin to having walked through Ghost Gate. A new virus is disastrous for the human immune system, but fortunately, it was not outrageously new. It seems that it still shares similarities with the original virus, and the human body still has the killing ability and experience to deal with it."

"Like in some northern regions, many viruses are frozen in ice layers. If one day these ice layers melt, and the viruses revive, they would pose a great threat to mankind because human immunity has never dealt with them before and lacks combat experience."

"Normally, the viruses human come into contact with, such as those causing colds, have frequented interactions with humans or their ancestors throughout the long evolutionary process. Our immune system has sufficient experience to deal with them, so in most cases, we can overcome them, only occasionally slipping up."

"Yang Ping conducted the first discussion with Sisi’s parents after the first experiment, where he reported the results of the experiment to them. They expressed that no matter the outcome, they would fully cooperate with Yang Ping, asking him not to feel any pressure, assuring him that they could bear any consequences and were very grateful for Yang Ping’s determined efforts in treating Sisi."

"Hermes and his wife have always been concerned about Sisi’s illness. After this experiment, they also came to Yang Ping to inquire about the situation since Sisi is now their god-daughter."

"After explaining the results of the experiment, Hermes sighed:"

"I really feel a connection with this child, and it hurts to see her suffer as if she were my own daughter. Professor Yang, if there’s a need for money, just let me know. I may not be able to assist in other matters, but I can help with financial needs. Whether it’s purchasing equipment, just say the word. I heard that these experimental treatments are quite expensive, and the equipment in the laboratories is particularly costly. If you need any type of equipment, do not hesitate to tell me. It’s been fortunate financially lately; besides owning gold, diamond, and now lithium and iron mines in Africa, these mines not only have high content and quality but are also very easy to mine, making them very profitable. I won’t say too much, but it’s easy to allocate billions of funds, hundreds of billions aren’t impossible either. I have plenty of money; wherever money is required, just command me. Old Huang is in medical technology, which makes money more slowly and has more financial needs, unlike me who is like a money printing machine. So, please do not hesitate; money is meant to be spent, and as long as it’s spent right, I won’t mind."

"Although Hermes is extravagant, his emotions are very genuine, something Yang Ping understands."

"This isn’t about money. We are facing some issues now, and we need to resolve them one by one. Although the first experimental treatment didn’t yield great results, it wasn’t the worst either. This is normal; many things in the world are like this, neither good nor bad, and this is already quite good. Just be patient." Yang Ping knew she was anxious, so he consoled her.

"Professor Yang, about Sisi, this little girl, how should I put it? I just said I felt a connection with her. To be honest, and don’t laugh at me, I was actually planning to jump off the Surgery building after I went bankrupt. Really, I was utterly hopeless and found life meaningless. But after meeting Sisi, my whole mindset changed. A little girl, only eight or nine years old, facing a terminal illness yet still so optimistic, so positive, and so clear about life and death. And here I am, nearly forty, in good health, and you even cured my leg. I have every reason to treasure life and cherish the opportunity to live in this world."

As he spoke, Hermes actually began to tear up. His wife handed him a tissue, and he wiped his eyes and continued: "It might sound funny, but this little girl has opened up another world for me, a world filled with sunlight and beauty. So now I see it clearly. I have so much money; if I don’t use it to do something meaningful, it’s just a waste. People, whether they live a long or short life, should do something meaningful to not have lived in vain. That’s why I’m telling you, Professor Yang, you are a medical genius. If I give all this money to you to tinker around, it would be better than giving it to anyone else. You could definitely concoct something that could save many lives, making my money meaningful."

"Isn’t Ruixing Medical working with Nandu University on artificial intelligence now? I heard that this has greatly helped Sisi’s experiment. Ruixing established a dedicated company to research this, which I hear is very expensive. How about this, should I first transfer tens of billions to Old Huang? Let them tinker with artificial intelligence?" Hermes asked.

"The risk is very high, and it is currently at a money-losing stage," Yang Ping said.

"Oh, treat it as a donation then; let’s not talk about risks. I’ve said it before, this money isn’t for making more money but to create some meaning. I’m an uneducated man who can’t speak well. I used to mine coal, now mine gold, only capable of making money through unskilled work. Don’t look down on me." Hermes was determined to give away his money today, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

"If you are really determined, I’ll talk to them. Consider it an investment; the risk is on you."

"No problem, what risk should a gold miner fear? As long as there’s still gold in the ground, I’m not afraid of risks. Besides, what if the money is gone? At worst, I’ll just go sing on the Sky Bridge."

Now that Hermes has money and nowhere to spend it, he didn’t care about future returns on investment; he was ready to pour money in. Some messy investment experts advised him to invest in this or that, but he refused all, finding those suggestions useless.

"Does Professor He at Nandu University need money for some research? I’ll donate a couple of billion there? I’ll pump another ten billion or so into a few laboratories here, and also, the Nandu Medical University Genetics Laboratory, I heard it’s managed by your uncle’s wife. I’ll donate a few billion to her project too. Who else is there? Oh, Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1, I’ll make a donation there too." Hermes was counting on his fingers, planning how to spend the money.

This?

Really a tycoon!

"And!"

Hermes remembered: "What about Old Huang, didn’t he recently get into a fight with someone? I’ll use a few mines as his backing."
