In the hospital, the old director looked at Zhu Yiting as she hung up the phone and hurriedly asked her, "Xiao Zhu, what did Professor Chen say? Does he know Dr. Sai, who wrote that medical paper? Does he have any suggestions or opinions about your husband's surgery?"

Faced with the old director's inquiries and feeling disheartened by Chen Yu's response, Zhu Yiting took a long time to respond, only speaking under the persistence of the old director, "Dr. Sai, who wrote the paper, is a classmate of mine. He wrote the paper on Hepatic Hilum cholangiocarcinoma while pursuing his Ph.D. at The University of Tokyo's medical school. It was published in 'The Lancet' after being recognized and recommended by his advisor."

"So it was Professor Chen who wrote it? That's really great!" The old director, delighted upon hearing Zhu Yiting's response, said, "In that case, couldn't your husband's illness be entrusted directly to Professor Chen? Since he wrote the paper, he must be very skilled in surgical treatment for Hepatic Hilum cholangiocarcinoma, right? If possible, could you ask him to do a demonstration surgery at our hospital?

Of course, Xiao Zhu, rest assured, the hospital will definitely provide the best conditions for your husband's care, including postoperative recovery treatment, and the costs can be covered by the hospital. As long as you agree to let your husband undergo this demonstration surgery, that would be a contribution to the hospital!"

The old director placed great importance on this surgery. After all, for a municipal hospital like theirs, having such a demonstration surgery was extremely significant, both for enhancing the hospital's reputation and for broadening the horizons and improving the skills of hospital doctors!

That's why he, a director of surgery at a municipal hospital, was begging and persuading his subordinate doctors so earnestly; the opportunity was just too rare.

Normally, even with great effort, it would be difficult to invite a well-known domestic expert for an exchange, and now that an internationally recognized expert was right on their doorstep, the old director felt that if he let this opportunity slip by, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

However, faced with the old director's request and pleadings, Zhu Yiting seemed very hesitant and conflicted. She couldn't resist the old director's soft pleading and finally said to him, "Director, my husband and Professor Chen... had some disagreements in the past, so if there hadn't been an emergency surgery last night, he wouldn't have offered to help.

We already owe him a favor, but you saw my husband's attitude this morning too, Director. How can I have the nerve to ask for his help again under these circumstances?

Moreover, the procedures for international remote surgery are complicated. Last night was an emergency, so the circumstances were special, and it was because he offered to help spontaneously that Japan agreed so readily. Now, Director, if you want to arrange an official demonstration surgery, we would certainly need to negotiate with his hospital first, right?"

"Xiao Zhu, what you're saying makes sense. How about you help to set up a meeting with Professor Chen, and I'll talk to him myself?" The old director, understanding Zhu Yiting's difficulty, thought it over and decided to speak with Chen Yu about the matter himself.

——————————————————

While Zhu Yiting and the old director were discussing inviting Chen Yu to perform the demonstration surgery, Chen Yu was not enjoying the rest with his girlfriend as he had hoped. A phone call from Japan forced him to harness the powers of the Necromantic Space to return to Japan to deal with the issues between the Mingyue Society and the Kanto Kendo Alliance.

Dressed in a black mage's robe, with a silver Skeleton mask covering half of his face, Chen Yu looked at the main members of the Mingyue Society and Tsuchimikado Yoshiharu, Kyuuzai Ryousen, and Kojo Kyoko standing by his side and asked in an emotionless tone, "So tell me, what's going on?"

Queried by Chen Yu, Kyuuzai Ryousen quickly stepped forward to explain, "Sect Leader, it's like this: previously, due to Miss Kojo's influence, some small Kenjutsu schools around Tokyo joined under the Mingyue Society, which I've reported to you before."

"Hmm," Chen Yu nodded slightly, grunting to show he remembered.

Seeing that Chen Yu acknowledged the matter, Kyuuzai continued, "After joining, these schools achieved some advantages in competition with other dojos under the Kanto Kendo Alliance, due to support from our Mingyue Society. Also, these schools were originally part of the Kanto Kendo Alliance, so the Alliance is quite unhappy with us.

Especially as the sect leaders of several schools deliberately provoked conflict with the Alliance's dojos, leading to numerous clashes. Previously, the Kanto Kendo Alliance sent two representatives for a consultation, which I've also reported to you."

Chen Yu, of course, remembered the previous phone calls, so he grunted again, "Hmm, and then?"

"During the negotiations, one of the Kanto Kendo Alliance representatives was disrespectful and proposed conditions we could not accept. They demanded our Mingyue Society expel the Kenjutsu schools that had joined us and issue a public apology," Ryousen reported the facts without embellishment: "Miss Kojo was dissatisfied with this, and thus she agreed to decide the outcome with a kenjutsu duel. The terms were, if Miss Kojo lost, the Mingyue Society would accept their conditions. But if Miss Kojo won, the other party had to leave behind a hand."

"So Kyoko cut off his hand?" Chen Yu, now fully aware of what had happened, asked and seeing Ryousen nod, he held his forehead in resignation, "So now that we've beaten the younger, the elder comes to settle the score? You can't handle it?"

"Sect Leader, the one who sent the invitation is an executive of the Kanto Kendo Alliance, also the current Sect Leader of the Hokushin Itto-ryu, and has deep connections with the Metropolitan Police Department. After discussing with each other, we felt it unwise to further conflict," Yoshiharu now stepped forward to lay out the situation to Chen Yu, "After all, if a large-scale conflict erupts between the Mingyue Society and the Kanto Kendo Alliance, the outcome wouldn't be good for the Society's current development regardless of who wins. Therefore, we'd like to negotiate a peaceful resolution or keep the conflict to a minimum."

"Hmm," Chen Yu showed no objection to Yoshiharu and Ryousen's statements, and asked them, "Where's the invitation?"
