First, deal with the gunshot wound.
Given the rudimentary conditions here, full anesthesia is impossible.
But fortunately, Zhou Mo Sen has experience.
He anticipated there might be such a surgery.
He brought the necessary supplies.
Afterward, he still has to give Owen a new face.
Of course, we're not making a movie.
Just need to alter some facial features so he won't be recognized.
His nose is a bit big, so we'll shrink it a bit.
Single eyelid; I'll give him a double-fold eyelid.
In short, in Zhou Mo Sen's own words.
"When the bandages come off, you'll be another person."
Owen understood what this meant, he nodded and closed his eyes.
Zhou Mo Sen, to be honest, was quite surprised too.
This Owen is indeed resilient, enduring with only localized anesthesia.
Didn't even cry out in pain.
A fine sword indeed.
They were busy until dawn.
Oden helped out from the sidelines.
The two Xiao Hei had long been sent away.
Zhou Mo Sen first rinsed with saline, then used a large amount of iodine for disinfection.
And Oden was responsible for throwing away the dirty clothes.
The stench of garbage mingled with iodine.
The smell in the law office was very complex.
Probably wouldn't reopen for a few days.
But Oden didn't care at all.
As a lawyer, he knows very well that a big client like Dr. Zhou.
Is extremely important!
Oden had already decided early on that he could ignore other clients.
But must take care of Zhou Mo Sen, Dr. Zhou.
Now, the surgery is complete.
The patient needs rest; as for what comes next…
"You should change your workspace for a while."
"Understood! I'll take good care of him too."
"Oh, are you such a caretaker?"
"Dr. Zhou, I'm a gentle lawyer."
Both Oden and Zhou Mo Sen were a bit weary, but still spirited.
Owen should be asleep.
They might as well go for a walk or have a meal.
San Diego, the six o'clock morning sun.
It's still quite mild.
The two came to Zhou Mo Sen's car.
"Dr. Zhou, although I was sure from the start that you'd save him, could you tell me a bit more?"
Oden wore a gossip-hungry face.
But Zhou Mo Sen understood that the lawyer wasn't only interested in gossip.
He smiled and countered, "Why didn't you call 911 and instead called me?"
It was a really good question, and Oden scratched his head.
"Haha... it's quite simple, if I'd called 911, the police wouldn't pay me a dime."
This was certainly a reason.
But Zhou Mo Sen continued, "You must be quite interested in him too, right?"
Back then, when Bloodline Gang's Tiger sought out such a peculiar guy.
Zhou Mo Sen could see that Owen might not be simple, and Oden could definitely see it too.
And when someone is not simple, it means they have high utility value.
If Oden had called the police, at most, he'd be a good citizen.
But if he called Zhou Mo Sen, it would be different.
Just like now...
"Let me buy you dinner."
"Ha... that sounds great."
The two of them planned to chat over a meal.
Soon, they showed up at a Dunkin' Donuts.
Not far away, the police were eating donuts.
And Zhou Mo Sen gave Oden an answer.
"There are things that perhaps I am not fit to do, so it must rely on him."
That answer was quite significant.
Especially with the police not far away.
Oden's forehead was sweating a bit, but after glancing at the police.
They didn't react at all, just kept eating donuts and sipping sweet drinks.
Oden laughed, "I get it; I'm sure that Dr. Zhou, your career is going to get better and better!"
Zhou Mo Sen also laughed.
The two clinked their cups of sweet drinks.
As if celebrating success.
...
Returned to his residence.
Had a good sleep.
Woke up and it was already evening.
The logic of Zhou Mo Sen saving Owen was quite simple.
Previously, Captain Hank had already made certain promises.
The police could look after Zhou Mo Sen and the clinic's safety.
This could be seen as Zhou Mo Sen's 'shield'.
But, to fight.
A shield alone is not enough.
Zhou Mo Sen also needs a weapon.
Owen could become his sharp sword.
Although Zhou Mo Sen wasn't sure about Owen's power yet.
Based on previous events, and some of Hank's descriptions, he could imagine.
It's probably sufficient.
As for where this sword should be used.
Zhou Mo Sen couldn't help but think of Bres Lee and Jenny Lee, this couple.
He always felt that this couple was not simple.
Zhou Mo Sen indeed had quite a handle on them, and quite a significant one.
But this card couldn't be played easily.
As for how things would develop later.
Zhou Mo Sen couldn't say for sure now.
He didn't have the power of foreknowledge.
But with Owen as this sword.
At least it's a precautionary measure.
Now, this sharp sword needs to be nurtured.
Zhou Mo Sen still needs to participate in that show, under media attention, he should still be safe.
So, he might as well think about the upcoming show.
About that Bres Lee, his medical skills...
Damn, I'm not afraid of him!
And besides, a dermatologist needs to be found.
Thinking of dermatology inevitably brings to mind "Master of Pimple Squeezing".
In this show, the most common thing is sebaceous adenoma.
But concerning this disease, there's an interesting point.
Before crossing over, Zhou Mo Sen followed a trendy doctor online.
Dr. Parker Zeng.
He was very skilled, and quite young to be an associate senior, looking to be in his thirties.
Dr. Zeng's hospital allowed him to choose a more specialized department after associate senior rank.
He chose laparoscopic hernia.
But, he often performed some sebaceous adenoma removals.
That's right, general surgery doctors like us can indeed treat this disease.
And dermatologists can also excise it.
This counts as business overlap, right?
So, how about plastic surgeons?
They can cut it too!
This sebaceous adenoma is quite an unfortunate disease.
Our three departments can all cut it.
It's quite an interesting little medical fact.
Zhou Mo Sen thought of these things to kill time.
After all, it's the second day of 2004.
The whole United States is still on holiday.
There was still that Tiger in the missed calls earlier.
Zhou Mo Sen wasn't in a hurry to call back.
He's dangling him a bit.
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen heard some news from Oden.
This Tiger wanted to become a Big Tiger.
His ambition was not small, but…
At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen's phone rang.
It turned out to be that beautiful woman.
"Hello, Master, that..."
"What's up?"
"I want to see you."
"Isn't it still a holiday?"
"Yes, it's a holiday, but, but I'm feeling very lonely now."
"Really? Or maybe you just want to rejuvenate faster?"
"Master, you really see through everything."
"Let me guess, you want to revert to your state in 'Forever Batman'?"
'Forever Batman'?
It's not easy, Zhou Mo Sen still remembers she acted in that movie.
Nicole Kidman, in that movie, long black stockings, tight skirt, blindfolded.
So, does she really want to revert to that state?
Soon, Zhou Mo Sen was driving to Los Angeles again…
