Seeing the people from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor''s Office leave, Jounouchi Hiromi finally asked Chen Yu, "Rokko-kun''s condition is suitable for questioning, right? Mr. Chen Yu, why did you have to speak to the special investigation department like that?"
"Wife, do you really want your ssmate to be questioned by these guys?" Chen Yuughed, walking towards his office as he exined, "Seeing how generous your ssmate is, it''s probably rted to bribery, right? The involvement of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor''s Office suggests it might even be rted to political circles. It''s best to stay clear of such matters. Moreover, considering the state of your ssmate right now, even if I allowed the people from the special investigation unit to question him, they would hardly get anything out of him. So why add to our troubles unnecessarily?
All I need to do is remove the tumor from his brain and cure him. As for what he does after he''s discharged—whether he surrenders and confesses everything, or ms up and refuses to say a word until death—that''s his own business. But looking at him, I doubt he''ll speak up."
"You have a point," Jounouchi Hiromi nodded in agreement but sighed, "I never expected Rokko-kun to end up like this, I remember he wasn''t like this before."
Chen Yu smiled indifferently and wrapped his arm around Jounouchi Hiromi''s waist: "Let''s go back and discuss how exactly to proceed with your ssmate''s surgery."
————————————————————
"A 7-centimeter glioma in the left frontal lobe; to remove it, we''ll probably need to perform an awake craniotomy." Jounouchi Hiromi looked at Takashi Rokkou''s medical records and the inspection reports, frowning as she turned to Chen Yu.
An awake craniotomy is a procedure where the patient is woken from an anesthetic state during surgery, allowing the lead surgeon to monitor the patient''s condition while performing the intracranial surgery to avoid causing brain function impairment, which could result inplications such as aphasia or motor dysfunction.
Chen Yu affirmed Jounouchi Hiromi''s judgment with a nod, agreeing, "The tumor has caused widespread cerebral edema, and given its proximity to Broca''s area, it may have begun to infiltrate. A direct removal could likely lead to motor aphasia."
"Furthermore, if the tumor has already infiltrated Broca''s area,plete removal might be impossible. What do you n to do in that case, husband?" Jounouchi Hiromi asked Chen Yu, looking at the CT scan results in her hands.
Chen Yu had clearly considered a response to this question: "cing Carmustine tablets inside the brain, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, can address the impact of an iplete tumor removal."
"Moreover, we can also use the spectroscopic anti-cancer drug that you developed, husband, to inhibit the activity of tumor cells, thus achieving aplete cure." Jounouchi Hiromi, after hearing Chen Yu''s treatment n, nodded in praise and continued to inquire about the surgical team configuration, "Who do you n to have as the surgical assistant? I don''t need to ask about the anesthesiologist; you''ll definitely want me to do it."
Chen Yu simply smiled at Jounouchi Hiromi''sint and said, "That''s your ssmate; are you reallyfortable letting another anesthesiologist do it?"
"Hmph! Always bossing people around," Jounouchi Hiromi coquettishly rolled her eyes at Chen Yu, picked up the medical records from the table, stood up, and walked towards the door. However, as she reached the door, she still said, "I will inform Rokko-kun of the surgical risks."
Watching Jounouchi Hiromi leave, Chen Yu smiled and shook his head. Although sheined verbally, she didn''t neglect any part of the work.
Although the surgery isplicated, it doesn''t require too many assistants; one assistant will be sufficient. With the addition of the operating room nurses, it was more than enough, so Chen Yu nned to just borrow an assistant from the neurosurgery department.
As for the general surgery staff, they would not be of help with this type of intracranial surgery.
Having made up his mind, Chen Yu began to write up the surgical n.

On the other side, after leaving Chen Yu''s office, Jounouchi Hiromi was heading to the ward to inform Takashi Rokkou about the risks of the surgery, but she was stopped by Kusanagi Ritsuko.
"Professor Jounouchi, good day. I am Kusanagi Ritsuko from the Metropolitan Police Department''s Ministry of Public Security. I would like to confirm some details with you about the previous attack on yourb by cult members," said Kusanagi Ritsuko as she presented her identification and exined the reason she had stopped Jounouchi Hiromi.
Looking at Kusanagi Ritsuko, who had stopped her, Jounouchi Hiromi keenly sensed that she was not just anyone, but a Transcendent. Her gaze involuntarily hardened, yet she nodded calmly and responded, "Sure, what would you like to ask?"
"Please don''t be nervous, it''s just some routine questions," Kusanagi Ritsuko rified, adding, "Because your experiments are of significant impact, our Ministry of Public Security will dispatch an action team to handle the protection of yourb in theing period. So we need to confirm some information with you to facilitate our work."
Although she had a strong military demeanor, Kusanagi Ritsuko was surprisingly amicable when dealing with Jounouchi Hiromi.
Jounouchi Hiromi found this somewhat unexpected, but also reasonable. No matter how tough or assertive someone is, they tend to adopt a more humble and modest demeanor when facing someone more powerful than themselves.
"So what would you like to ask?" Seeing Kusanagi Ritsuko''s friendly attitude improved Jounouchi Hiromi''s impression of her considerably, and she asked pleasantly.
"Mainly, I have some questions about the previous attack. We have been investigating the cult members who attacked yourb, and we have now confirmed that it was the work of a group known as the Supreme Truth Society. This cult is a remnant of the Orm Truth Sect from the 1990s. Our police forces have taken action against them, and we believe they will be apprehended soon," Kusanagi Ritsuko briefed Jounouchi Hiromi on the police''s progress in the case. She had received this information from a colleague responsible for investigating cult organizations in the general affairs section before she came.
As for the cult organization that had attacked herbst time, Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu had already sent Soul Prison Blood Hunter to disrupt their activities. The main criminals had be prey to the Soul Prison Blood Hunter, and what remained were but a few small fries, so Jounouchi Hiromi did not ce much importance on the information provided by Kusanagi Ritsuko.
Kusanagi Ritsuko was aware that ordinary cultists indeed held little significance to a Transcendent, so she skipped over this topic and continued, "Additionally, we would like to understand the ess and exit procedures of yourb in order to arrange for the action team to properly protect it."
"Then just give me a moment, I need to discuss something with a patient in the ward. I''ll take you to theb afterward and walk you through the procedure," Jounouchi Hiromi responded.
