Episode 9 recap: Zheng Ren and Lin Ge joined forces to save Huang Aguo.

Huang Aguo received a phone call informing him that his mother was in trouble and he hurriedly wanted to return home. Just as he turned around, he foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground. Zhao Xin told Su Li that after examining Huang Aguo's acute shock, they found that the extent of portal vein erosion was very extensive, and it was no longer possible to perform an interventional surgery. They had to resort to open surgery. However, they couldn't reach Lin Ge at the moment, and this surgery required a liver transplant, which was Lin Ge's area of expertise.

After understanding the situation, Su Li called Lin Ge but couldn't reach him. Lin Ge's wife looked at him and urged him to hurry to the hospital, but Lin Ge thought it wasn't a big deal and didn't want to make Pan Shihai feel uncomfortable again. Zhou Litao informed everyone that Huang Aguo was currently isolated and estranged, with no relatives who could be contacted, except for an old mother who had been paralyzed in bed for many years.

Su Yun also couldn't get in touch with Lin Ge. At present, all the doctors believed that the most difficult problem to solve was the autologous liver transplant. If this part couldn't be resolved, all the other methods would be in vain. Zhao Xin looked at everyone placing their hopes on him and quickly said that he had never performed this type of surgery before, only assisting in a few surgeries without being the primary surgeon.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zheng Ren came in and said that he was here. Su Yun complained if Zheng Ren could have come any later. Zheng Ren, with an expressionless face, said that the protagonist always enters the stage at the last moment. Su Yun felt that Zheng Ren had changed and could now crack cold jokes.

Zheng Ren analyzed that this surgery required three stages, with the carrier surgery being the simplest, followed by the reconstruction of the inferior vena cava and the ex vivo liver transplant being more challenging. He also arranged the surgical order, starting with urology, then vascular surgery, and finally, thoracic intervention for autologous liver transplantation. Su Yun asked Zheng Ren if the font size and the difficulty of the transplant were significant, whether he could perform such a surgery. Zheng Ren said that he had done it once before.

Su Li entrusted this surgery to Zheng Ren with great trust. Su Yun, Zhao Xin, and Zheng Ren performed the surgery together. While Lin Ge was at home, he felt that the people in the hospital would definitely come to ask him to perform the surgery. Xie Yi Ren marveled at how Su Yun could always predict what would be done before the surgery, and how perfectly he matched with Zheng Ren.

Su Yun and Zheng Ren believed that although this surgery had no cost, it held unique significance for doctors. During the surgery, Huang Aguo's heart suddenly accelerated, causing Zheng Ren to panic. He couldn't find the breakthrough point, and his blood pressure kept dropping. His mind became hazy. Su Yun and Xie Yi Ren both noticed that Zheng Ren was not doing well.

At this moment, Lin Ge appeared, and Zheng Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Ge looked at Zheng Ren and said that he had arrived and told Zheng Ren to rest. At this moment, there was a strong understanding between Zheng Ren and Lin Ge. Zheng Ren expressed his gratitude to Xie Yi Ren for helping him come out of that dark period, but Xie Yi Ren believed in fate and wanted to tell Dr. Chen that the child who was saved back then had become a surgical technician.

Lin Ge admitted that he had been jealous of Zheng Ren in the past, but from today's surgery, he felt that he had fulfilled his role and couldn't hand over the stage too early to the younger generation. Lin Ge's wife knew that Lin Ge couldn't let go of the hospital, but she was happy to see him resolve his inner conflicts.

Zhou Litao happily told his mother that he had performed a remarkable surgery. Zheng Ren felt a bit despondent and quietly cried there, as if he had seen his father. Su Yun was delighted to see Zheng Ren return. Zheng Ren received a drawing from a child and felt very happy inside.

Zheng Ren went to find Peng Jia to propose live-streaming the surgery. Peng Jia was thrilled, but it required the patient's consent and involved privacy issues. Just as Zheng Ren was about to leave, Peng Jia took him to meet her boss. The boss thought it was possible, but as a businessman, he valued reputation and profit. Moreover, the surgery needed to be original, highly difficult, and controversial, with a guarantee of success.

Zheng Ren believed that it was impossible to guarantee the success of every surgery. The boss asked when Zheng Ren could approach him again. Holding the words of the little girl in his mind, Zheng Ren fell into deep thought. Hua Yingying wanted to promote her product, but Zheng Ren said she was sick, which made Hua Yingying feel embarrassed. Su Yun saw Zheng Ren shaking his head at him and thought that Zheng Ren didn't appreciate good intentions. Su Li felt that neither Zheng Ren nor his associates had any sense of decency.

Huang Aguo came to find Zheng Ren, but Zheng Ren had a cold attitude. After hearing the news, Huang Aguo quietly escaped a week later. Zheng Ren paid for Huang Aguo's medical expenses. Su Yun was stunned when he heard Zheng Ren mention his hand. Su Li told Zheng Ren that Su Yun's hand was fine; he just had psychological trauma after the medical accident.
