Late at night, Director Fang immediately called Yang Ping, who was far away in Beijing, informing him that Pan Doudou had located a suitable donor and surgery was urgently needed.
Such a surgery was definitely beyond what Director Fang could handle alone; it required Yang Ping's return.
However, Director Fang could start the procedure and continue while waiting for Yang Ping. Although this approach carried certain risks, it was the only available option.
Yang Ping woke from his sleep and calculated the time. Although he would miss the optimal surgery window, there was still time to make it. He immediately began searching for the earliest flight back to Nandu. Just as he had secured a ticket, Director Fang called again, saying the family had changed their minds and refused organ donation, causing the surgery to be postponed.
