The surgery started at 9:10 in the morning and continued until 7:00 in the evening, lasting ten hours.
As Lin Jie stepped out of the operating room, he saw Cheng Xingguang, Ren Maoshi, Chen Shi, and other hospital leaders and experts, along with An Weize, An Kexin, Fang Huanru, Huo Guangheng, and students gathered at the door, creating an atmosphere akin to a ceremonial welcome.
"Dr. Lin, well done! Congratulations on the successful surgery!"
Cheng Xingguang's face bloomed with a smile as he stepped forward, shook Lin Jie's hand vigorously, and said, "After this surgery, no one will dare to question your ability anymore!"
"Dr. Xia Kaige has already admitted defeat, recognizing that he is not as skilled."
Cheng Xingguang's smile was sincere and without any pretense.
Currently, Xia Kaige is faintly regarded as the top heart surgeon in the country.
His open admission of defeat carries a significant implication.
