"Boy, how long can you be arrogant!" Sun Mingshan covered his mouth and glared at Chen Fan in anger.
Just then, the middle-aged man spoke again, "The competition officially begins!"
Hearing this, Sun Mingshan and others quickly picked up the suturing devices on their trolleys. After preparing the threads, they first used tweezers to remove fragments from the broken egg, then began to carefully suture.
Sun Mingshan had already removed the broken eggshell and was ready to start.
However, before he made a move, he turned to look at Chen Fan and found that Chen Fan didn't know to remove the eggshell. A look of disdain appeared on his face again. In his opinion, Chen Fan was bound to lose this time!
It was just that Sun Mingshan didn't know that while he was lowering his head to remove the broken eggshell, Chen Fan beside him had already started suturing.
Chen Fan had no intention of removing the eggshell. The suturing needle flew in Chen Fan's hand, rapidly stitching the damaged membrane.
After the membrane was sutured, Chen Fan began to suture the hard eggshell.
The smooth and flowing movements even surprised the middle-aged man.
Especially when Chen Fan finished suturing the hard eggshell, some people hadn't even started.
"Done."
"Done," Chen Fan said calmly, his voice not loud.
But in the extremely quiet conference room, it caused a huge stir.
Almost simultaneously, upon hearing Chen Fan's voice, everyone stopped what they were doing and instinctively looked in Chen Fan's direction.
"Boy, what did you say? You're done suturing?" Sun Mingshan was stunned at first, asking with disbelief.
Immediately, Sun Mingshan's gaze fell on the trolley in front of Chen Fan and he saw an egg with obvious signs of being pieced together standing there.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Sun Mingshan burst into laughter.
However, Sun Mingshan laughed cautiously this time, fearing that his wound would split open again.
After laughing, Sun Mingshan couldn't help but mock, "Boy, you were asked to suture the membrane inside the egg, not to piece together a broken eggshell! If you don't even know this, I'm really curious how much of a spectacle you'll make when you go to treat the second young lady of the Long family!"
Many people around also looked at Chen Fan with amusement.
Chen Fan ignored Sun Mingshan and looked at the middle-aged man, "You can start testing."
The middle-aged man nodded, put on a pair of white gloves, and walked up to Chen Fan.
Except for Sun Mingshan, everyone else had already continued their work.
Sun Mingshan placed his instruments on the trolley. He knew there was no need for him to continue. As long as Chen Fan failed, he would win.
The middle-aged man slowly picked up the egg and then turned it upside down.
If successful, after the egg was inverted, the egg white would not flow out because the membrane had been sutured. Conversely, it would be marked as a failed suture. Each person had only one chance.
As for why no one waited for others to make mistakes, it was because the people present were all renowned experts from home and abroad. These suturing techniques were child's play to them.
Sun Mingshan watched with a smug look as Chen Fan's egg was inverted, his face already beaming with the joy of victory.
However, the moment the egg was turned upside down, Sun Mingshan's expression changed instantly. The joy on his face froze.
Because he saw that after Chen Fan's egg was inverted, the eggshell on it had not fallen off!
"This, how is this possible!"
Sun Mingshan was horrified and quickly walked towards the middle-aged man.
Upon closer inspection, when he saw the sutured lines on the eggshell, which were almost invisible to the naked eye, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed again, "This, how is this possible!"
However, this exclamation was significantly louder, indicating the extent of Sun Mingshan's shock.
The sudden noise once again drew the attention of the surrounding crowd.
When everyone saw the egg in the middle-aged man's hand, they were equally astonished. Several people even quickly came closer, wanting to see how Chen Fan had done it.
"He actually sewed the eggshell together? How did he do it with such hard eggshell!" a doctor said in disbelief.
The middle-aged man spoke, "Not only the eggshell, but Dr. Chen also sewed the inner membrane of the egg together."
"What?!"
For a moment, the scene fell silent, and everyone turned their shocked gazes to Chen Fan.
The most surprised, undoubtedly, was Sun Mingshan.
Muttering "Impossible," he snatched the egg from the middle-aged man's hand.
Then he looked at Chen Fan and said, "This is absolutely impossible. How could you have finished suturing the membrane in such a short time, and how could you have sewed the eggshell together, which is so hard!"
Others also looked at Chen Fan with doubt.
"You must have used some kind of glue, you must have cheated! I'll expose you right now!" Saying this, Sun Mingshan took a small knife and directly cut along the sutured line on the eggshell.
However, the moment Sun Mingshan cut the sutured line on the eggshell, the eggshell fragments from the top of the egg instantly fell onto the trolley.
More importantly, the membrane beneath the eggshell was indeed sutured together!
Suddenly, Sun Mingshan was dumbfounded.
The others around were also dumbfounded, all looking at Chen Fan with shocked eyes.
Chen Fan, who had remained silent, smiled calmly, "It seems your wish has been dashed. You are eliminated."
"This, how is this possible! How did you do it in such a short time?! And how did you suture the eggshell?!" Sun Mingshan, hearing this, finally snapped out of his shock and asked with full of doubt.
Chen Fan did not speak. Instead, he took the suturing needle and quickly pierced the egg in Sun Mingshan's hand. The eggshell was instantly broken.
"Others might not be able to do it, but for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, it's not difficult to achieve this."
"Crack!"
The egg in Sun Mingshan's hand immediately fell to the ground and shattered.
He knew that his dream of climbing onto the Long family's boat had, like this egg, been completely shattered.
"Dr. Chen wins. Congratulations to Dr. Chen for entering the final round of the competition," the middle-aged man said to Chen Fan, congratulating him.
Then he looked at Sun Mingshan, "Dean Sun, your competition has ended. Please leave as soon as possible."
Sun Mingshan finally came back to his senses, but his expression seemed to have aged more than ten years. Losing to a young man in his early twenties, he probably wouldn't have the face to see anyone again!
"I'm done!"
"I'm done too!"
Just then, several more doctors' voices were heard from the scene.
The doctors who were still watching the excitement turned around in surprise and saw that their opponents had already finished suturing! It happened while they were watching!
For a moment, the doctors who lost the competition by watching the excitement were filled with regret.
About a few minutes later, the results of the competition were out. A total of five doctors remained.
However, these five were taken directly to the hotel entrance after the results were announced. Outside the hotel, a luxurious business van was waiting.
An old man frowned slightly and asked the middle-aged man, "Where are we going?"
