"Um…" Doctor Xu was clearly in a difficult position; perhaps he just didn't want to tell her the truth.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm a doctor too, you won't be able to hide it from me anyways. I can see that Qin Chu's being kept alive by blood transfusions, tubes, and an oxygen mask. The bullet is still lodged in his body, isn't it?"
Chief Xu nodded. "Dr. Huo, I'm sorry, we tried our best yesterday. The good thing is, his knife wound isn't too bad, or else he would've died on the table. The bullet is the tricky part since it's lodged right next to his heart. It's in such a sensitive spot, less than one centimeter away from his heart, so surgery will be difficult. You're a doctor, so I don't have to explain it to you… If we don't take it out on time, it may become infected at any moment… therefore, he needs to undergo another surgery within 48 hours for us to extract that bullet."
