My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 154
Chapter 154 A Gender Reassignment Surgery?
At that time, Qin Chengxi was pinned tightly onto the operation table by a team of doctors in white robes. He was naked, curling his body into a fetal position and lying on his side. His pale face was full of despair.
Upon seeing the unexpected entrance of Mu Yu and the others, he perked up and disregarded any embarrassment to yell for help.
“Let go of him!” Mu Yu could not care about privacy as she rushed forward to pull away the doctors.
“Who are you all? How dare you barge into the operating room?” Jia Pengyi who was the team leader did not recognize any one of the strange faces and stepped forth to rebuke Mu Yu, attempting to push her away.
“Get lost!” Rong Ying wrapped Qin Chengxi’s body with her coat and gave Jia Pengyi a kick in an unladylike manner.
“Ouch! You rude woman! How dare you kick me? You…” Before Jia Pengyi could finish his sentence, Wen Zeyu dashed forward and gave him a punch on the face.
“What’s wrong with kicking you?” Wen Zeyu glared at Jia Pengyi, his eyes as round as a ball. “Try scolding her one more time and I’ll paralyze you!”
“Y-You-You all…” Jia Pengyi stammered when he saw a group of men clad in black dashing in. Shocked, he heard Dong Yueyun’s voice outside the operating room. He turned pale and dared not speak as he shielded his face and retreated to the side of his colleagues while trembling. The other doctors had long backed into the corners of the room observantly.
“How’s Xi doing?” Wen Zeyu asked as he took down his coat and handed it to Rong Ying. “Wear this.”
“He’s been anesthetized.” Rong Ying took his coat but did not wear it. Instead, she covered it on Qin Chengxi.
“Let go of Xi! He’s my son! You don’t have the authority to do anything to him!”
Dong Yueyun and Qin Wentao followed them in and they pushed madly against the human wall that formed a barrier around Qin Chengxi. As there were no orders from Qin Jinhuan, Huang Bo and the other men remained in their spots, forming a barricade to block Dong Yueyun and Qin Wentao. Feeling anxious and frustrated, Dong Yueyun could do nothing but yell and punch at the men.
At that moment, Qin Chengxi looked at Mu Yu and tried his best to raise his arm. However, due to the incoming effect of the anesthetic, he was swiftly losing control of his body including his arm. In the end, he gave up and repeated his request to bring him out between his sobs.
His pitiful and helpless look hurt Mu Yu deeply. She grasped his cold and bony hand as she sobbed and pleaded to Qin Jinhuan, “Huan, let’s bring Xi out of here.”
Although she was unsure what was going on in the operating room, she was aware that Xi would be in danger if left here.
Right then, the operating room was crowded but unusually silent. Even though Mu Yu’s voice was soft and she was shielded by Qin Jinhuan’s men, Qin Wentao and his wife still clearly heard her suggestion. The couple went delirious, crying and yelling hysterically, “Who dares to take him away! I’m warning you: whoever takes away my son will have to fight me!”
“Go away! Don’t take my son away! I beg you. Please don’t take Xi away, alright?”
The couple used the carrot and stick approach, one yelling and the other sobbing. However, Qin Jinhuan’s men acted deaf and ignored the chaos, standing their ground in front of the couple.
As the one who stood at the forefront of the barricade, Qin Jinhuan did not comment but only cast a glance with complicated emotions toward Qin Chengxi, who was now shivering in Rong Ying’s embrace.
“Huan, help me! Please…” With teary eyes, Qin Chengxi pleaded with him feebly.
“Huan, let’s help Xi. Okay?” Sensing the conflict in his heart, Mu Yu could not stop herself from begging on behalf of Qin Chengxi.
“Huan!” Seeing that Qin Jinhuan was still unmoved, Wen Zeyu got anxious and immediately walked around Mu Yu, preparing to lift Qin Chengxi up.
“Zeyu!” Qin Jinhuan bellowed, signaling him to stop.
“If you aren’t helping Xi, I will!” Right when Wen Zeyu was about to lift Qin Chengxi into his arms, Qin Jinhuan quickly approached them and pushed Wen Zeyu away. Turning to Rong Ying, he ordered, “Push the trolley over.”
Rong Ying was taken aback by Qin Jinhuan’s change in attitude, but she responded quickly by signaling Mu Yu to give way and pushed the trolley over. Folded blankets were stacked up neatly on the trolley.
“You bring them out.” When Qin Jinhuan was addressing Wen Zeyu, he shot an icy stare at Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun. “Get rid of the white noise.”
Wen Zeyu took the hint and nodded, his eyes scanning around the room. He then yelled at the doctors, “What are you still doing here? Waiting for me to operate on you?”
Like startled rabbits, the group of doctors fled the scene with their heads hanging low. After getting rid of the doctors, Wen Zeyu glared at Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun as he gave orders to the men, “Drag these two to the basement parking.”
Hearing that, Qin Wentao shouted furiously, “Who dares to touch me?!”
“If anything happens, I’ll take the responsibility.” Wen Zeyu waved his hand at his subordinates in disdain.
With his assurance, Weng Yun, Cheng Xiang and the others swiftly moved forward and forcefully lifted the couple, dragging and pulling them from the operating room.
“Stop! Let go of me! Wen Zeyu, I’ll never forgive you! You shall wait and see. I will see this to the end!”
As the men marched out of the operating room, Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun’s voice faded away until nothing more could be heard.
Then, Wen Zeyu finally walked over to grab the door handle and shut the door from the inside.
“Huan?” Mu Yu who was now standing in front of the trolley looked at Qin Jinhuan for further instructions.
Qin Jinhuan nodded slightly as he slowly bent down to lift Qin Chengxi up carefully and placed him onto the trolley. After that, he shifted his gaze to Rong Ying and pointed at Qin Chengxi.
Rong Ying got the hint and quickly took off the coat on Qin Chengxi, wrapping him up with a blanket instead. When she was ready to push the trolley, Qin Jinhuan told her that he would do that instead.
Rong Ying nodded and pulled back her hand, smiling at Mu Yu. Mu Yu flashed a knowing smile and ran to open the door.
It was silent outside the operating room; only Bian Zijun and a few subordinates were there. When Bian Zijun saw Qin Jinhuan pushing the trolley out, he immediately stepped forward to help but Mu Yu coughed to signal him to steer clear.
When Qin Jinhuan reached the hospital entrance with the trolley, Huang Bo had driven the car over and opened the door for them, laying down the back seats for Qin Chengxi.
Qin Jinhuan lifted Qin Chengxi together with the blanket that was wrapped around him. Walking to the car, he placed down his little brother carefully onto the car seat.
“Huan…”
“Don’t worry.” Qin Jinhuan smiled and bent over to enter the car to sit beside Qin Chengxi. Noticing that the blanket was coming off, he caringly wrapped it tightly over his poor brother.
Qin Chengxi, who was as pale as a sheet, stared at Qin Jinhuan with moist eyes. He bit his lips and ended up bursting into tears.
At that time, Mu Yu had just seated herself on the front passenger seat. The crying prompted her to turn and glare at Qin Jinhuan while complaining, “How did you make him cry? Now that you’ve brought him out, you have to…”
“Yu! It has nothing to do with Huan. It’s my fault for being too weak. I feel so horrible,” Qin Chengxi explained while sobbing.
“Don’t feel bad. You’re safe now.” Mu Yu leaned against the chair, comforting Qin Chengxi while handing Qin Jinhuan a pack of napkins. “Wipe away his tears. He’s under anesthesia, so he can’t move his arms.”
“It’s okay. I’ll…” Before Qin Chengxi could speak further, Qin Jinhuan had taken out a napkin and gently wiped away his tears. Qin Chengxi’s mind went blank at the affectionate gesture, but he cried even louder from feeling touched.
“Alright. Don’t cry.” Qin Jinhuan hurriedly took a few napkins to wipe away Qin Chengxi’s tears. “I’ll call you a bad child if you keep crying.”
“Huan…” Qin Chengxi choked on his tears, biting his pale lips and drawing sharp breaths. After he managed to stabilize his emotions, he replied in a trembling voice with tears and snot, “Huan, I know that you have always cared about me. You’re only hiding it in front of mom and dad. I…”
“Alright. Let’s talk about that later.” Qin Jinhuan interrupted him softly and asked, “Tell me, did you commit suicide because they forced you to undergo this operation?”
Seeing that Qin Jinhuan had understood his health condition, Qin Chengxi confessed in dismay, “Yesterday, I overheard mom calling Uncle Jia to arrange for an operation today. I begged them to cancel the operation, but they refused and insisted that it must be done. They even listed down the benefits of this operation. I couldn’t stop them but I didn’t want this operation either. I then attempted to kill myself when I ran out of choices.”
“If so, tell me your decision now.”
Hearing that, Qin Chengxi cried even louder and confessed, “Huan, I don’t want to be a man. I want to be a woman.”
“Huh?” Mu Yu was very shocked. “A woman? Are you talking about gender reassignment surgery?”
“No, it wasn’t a gender reassignment surgery. I…”
“Are you sure you want to be a woman?” Qin Jinhuan ignored Mu Yu’s exclamation and used a gentle and solemn tone to ask Qin Chengxi, “You only have one chance.”
“I am sure! I am 100% sure! Even though I am under anesthesia, my mind is still clear! I’m very awake now.” Qin Chengxi was exceptionally agitated. “Huan, I am already twenty years old. I am an adult who has the right to make a choice. Before this, I wasn’t able to convince mom and dad. Now that they’re not around, I beg you to arrange the surgery for me. I know the risk, but I will sign the surgery agreement and even draft a disclamation to absolve you of the liability. I’ll write that it’s my own decision so that mom and dad will not shift the blame to you. I’ll also…”
“Alright, that’s enough. I got it.” Qin Jinhuan caressed his brother’s head. “I’ll let Ying make the arrangements.” He took out his phone and called Rong Ying to express Qin Chengxi’s wish. At the end, he reminded her seriously, “You must contact the best hospital for a thorough checkup and get the best doctor for Xi’s surgery. I will not tolerate any mistakes. Once everything’s arranged, please update me again.”
After the call to Rong Ying, he made another call to Wen Zeyu, requesting him to arrange for a secret place where Xi could stay for the time being. “I don’t want any Tom, Dick and Harry to harass him.” When he made the remark, his gentle and caring gaze fell on Qin Chengxi.
“Thank you, Huan.” Qin Chengxi had wanted to smile at him, but tears fell out before that.
Qin Jinhuan frowned at him, “Why are you not listening to me?”
Qin Chengxi sobbed again, “I didn’t do it on purpose. I just could not help it.”
“Alright. Don’t cry.” Seeing that Qin Chengxi was crying again, Qin Jinhuan hesitated before giving him a hug across the blanket. Even though Qin Chengxi’s body was numb, he felt warm in his heart as he buried his face into Qin Jinhuan’s chest and sobbed softly. This time, it was tears of joy.
“Hey!” Letting out a sigh, Mu Yu was worried to see him crying because she didn’t know about Qin Chengxi’s secret. However, she could not bring herself to interrupt the warming scene between the brothers. She had wanted to call Wen Zeyu or Rong Ying, but she put down her phone again as she thought that they must be very busy.
Oh well, I’ll wait until we send Xi back before asking further. Although she had decided to keep quiet, she still could not stop herself from turning back a few times to check on Qin Chengxi.
It did not take long before Huang Bo received a call from Wen Zeyu, who told him to check the phone for a shared location and to drive there. Knowing that it was the residence that Wen Zeyu had arranged for Qin Chengxi, Huang Bo responded and opened his navigation app to drive there.
Half an hour later, Huang Bo drove to a secluded but glamorous mansion in a countryside area in the north. There, Wen Zeyu, Weng Yun and a few others were standing in anticipation of their arrival. When they saw Huang Bo’s car coming in, they immediately went forward to greet him.
“This is my old man’s place. I was worried that Qin Wentao might find us if I arranged for Xi to stay at our private residence,” Pointing at the mansion behind himself, Wen Zeyu explained to Qin Jinhuan, who had stepped out of the car and was nodding in agreement. Just when Qin Jinhuan was bending over to lift Qin Chengxi up, two beams of headlights shone at them. He alertly raised his head to see the headlights nearing them along with car honking sounds.
“Be careful!” Bian Zijun immediately rushed forward to shield Qin Jinhuan and the others as he drew out his gun to aim at the intruder, ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
Having closed the car door, Qin Jinhuan pulled Mu Yu to his back as he stared to the front with a grave expression. With a sharp screeching sound, the car braked to a stop a few meters away from them.
