Chapter 361: Death of Xu Ruxing!
Outside the ward, Xu Ruxing's assistant came out with the doctor and stood at the door without saying a word.
The assistant was a very strong man, and Xu Ruxing was in such poor health that he was in a very bad mood and had a stern face. The doctor looked at him for a few seconds and didn't dare to say anything.
However, the assistant's state did not last long, and finally he let out a heavy sigh.
"Is there really no way out?" asked the assistant.
The doctor was stunned for a moment: "Dr. Xu started his career by studying pancreatic cancer. I am not as good as Dr. Xu. In this case, Dr. Xu did not mention any treatment ideas to me, but only asked me to do hospice care."
"Hospice care." Half of the assistant's face twitched. He had been with Xu Ruxing for many years and had some medical knowledge.
Hospice care is actually a medical term, which refers to the use of some means to minimize the patient's pain in the last moments of the patient's life so that the patient can pass away peacefully and peacefully.
In other words, Xu Ruxing has actually given up treatment.
"To be honest, I've been a doctor for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen pancreatic cancer progress so quickly." The doctor still has a lot of things he doesn't understand: "I've read Dr. Xu's physical examination report from two months ago. The items are very detailed and there are no problems at all. In just two months, Dr. Xu went from being healthy to advanced pancreatic cancer. This speed..."
The doctor scratched his head and said, "Pancreatic cancer is very aggressive, with a five-year survival rate of only about 5%. It is the most difficult cancer to treat. Many patients only live half a year from the time they are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to the time they die. I have never seen a case of two months."
The assistant looked unhappy. He had gone through the physical examination with Xu Ruxing two months ago. He accompanied Xu Ruxing through each item and he was the one who got the final result. He definitely couldn't have faked it. Perhaps it was because of this physical examination that Xu Ruxing didn't pay much attention to some of the early symptoms.
Although Xu Ruxing's face seems to be well maintained, he actually has a lot of minor ailments that he acquired when he was young. He often feels pain here or there on his body, which is also an important factor that confuses Xu Ruxing.
But even so, everything happened too fast.
In fact, Xu Ruxing did not delay for too long. Eventually, he realized that something seemed to be wrong with his body. Less than a month after the physical examination, Xu Ruxing went for another physical examination and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
At that time, pancreatic cancer was still in the late early stage and was developing towards the middle stage.
Once diagnosed, Xu Ruxing received treatment normally.
Xu Ruxing was a person who naturally received the best medical treatment. However, even the world's top treatment did not stop the development of pancreatic cancer. It was as if there was no improvement in a month. Instead, the condition deteriorated rapidly at an extremely fast rate and finally developed to the current situation.
"Speaking of pancreatic cancer, there is something I am curious about," the doctor suddenly asked.
The assistant looked back at the doctor and asked, "What?"
The doctor considered his words carefully: "It's about Dr. Xu's lover..."
The doctor's voice gradually lowered: "I heard that Dr. Xu insisted on removing part of his lover's pancreas even though he was in good health. Is this true?"
The muscles at the corners of the assistant's eyes twitched noticeably, because he had just experienced the whole process.
Xu Ruxing was unknown for more than 30 years, but after he turned 30, he rose like a comet and became a pillar of the industry at an incredible speed. As the doctor said before, Xu Ruxing's initial research direction was pancreatic cancer, and then expanded to other research directions.
But about five years ago, Xu Ruxing did something that shocked the medical community.
This matter has nothing to do with professional matters; to be precise, it is Xu Ruxing's personal matter.
Xu Ruxing's wife Han Jingsheng had part of her pancreas removed by Xu Ruxing even though all her physical data were completely normal.
This operation caused quite a stir at the time.
Many people, even those in the industry, questioned whether Xu Ruxing was obsessed with researching pancreatic cancer and imagined that his wife Han Jingsheng would suffer from pancreatic cancer, so he removed part of her pancreas in advance. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain Xu Ruxing's decision to remove part of his wife's pancreas.
It is not uncommon to remove certain organs in advance to prevent cancer, because some cancers are strongly correlated with genetic mutations.
For example, BRCA1 gene mutations can lead to an explosive increase in the risk of breast cancer. At this time, it is normal to remove some breast tissue in advance to prevent breast cancer.
However, this is based on the premise that mastectomy will not affect the quality of life too much and that the appearance of the breast can be restored through some repair surgery or prosthesis implantation.
The pancreas is naturally less important than organs such as the heart and lungs, but that does not mean it can be removed at will.
Once the pancreas is removed, the patient's digestive system will be significantly affected. The pancreas is not the main organ of the digestive system, but it plays a relatively important auxiliary role. Especially after pancreatic resection, patients cannot consume too much fat, otherwise it is very easy to cause steatorrhea.
Another important consequence is that blood sugar is likely to become high. Once the pancreas is removed, insulin must be artificially injected to control blood sugar.
Therefore, although pancreatic resection will not affect life safety, it still has a significant impact on the quality of life. In addition, there is no strongly correlated variant gene corresponding to pancreatic cancer. Although pancreatic cancer has a very high degree of deterioration and is known as the king of cancer, its incidence rate is not high. Removing part of the pancreas to prevent pancreatic cancer is unacceptable in the medical community.
It was precisely because of this incredible behavior that it caused quite a bit of controversy during that time. However, Xu Ruxing's halo was too dazzling, so the matter did not ferment and finally existed only as an anecdote about Xu Ruxing.
However, as a leading figure in the medical field, some of Xu Ruxing's secrets are still of interest to many people, especially his peers.
The assistant hesitated. He knew what was going on, but he didn't know whether he should tell it. To be honest, this matter was not a secret. Xu Ruxing didn't say that it had to be kept strictly secret. Some friends who were slightly close to Xu Ruxing knew about Han Jingsheng's situation. But even so, the assistant was still very secretive.
Finally, the assistant just said: "This is true."
It was just this short sentence, and there was nothing else to say after it.
When the doctor heard this, he asked, "What was Dr. Xu thinking? Was it really to prevent pancreatic cancer? What happened to his wife?"
The assistant pursed his lips. If he had known this would happen, he would have simply not answered.
Seeing that the assistant was silent, the doctor asked, "Is it inconvenient to talk?"
"Dead!" A tall middle-aged man suddenly walked over from a distance. It was lawyer Mo Hui. "His wife died two years ago of lung cancer."
When the assistant saw Mo Hui coming out, he hurried over to him and said, "Lawyer Mo, where's the boss?"
"Inside, he wants to be alone for a while." Mo Hui leaned against the wall of the corridor and looked at his assistant: "You have followed him for many years. Who is that Xu Cang?"
The assistant was startled: "Lawyer Mo, why are you asking this?"
"He wants to give 80% of his inheritance to Xu Cang. I have to know the identity of this Xu Cang."
To be precise, Mo Hui knew the name Xu Cang very early, but that was only his name. He had no idea about Xu Cang's current situation.
"Xu Cang, he is a...pilot, a civil aviation pilot." The assistant said briefly.
"That's it?" Mo Hui frowned. "How did they know each other? Why did Brother Xu give most of the inheritance to him?"
"Well... as far as I know, they didn't know each other before. At least in all the years I've been with the boss, he has only recently come into contact with Xu Cang, and the time was very short. It seems that Xu Cang's mother needed an operation, so she found the boss, and then the two of them got to know each other."
"Brother Xu can also perform surgery on humans?" Mo Hui was stunned.
It's not that Xu Ruxing can't do surgery, but since he removed part of his wife Han Jingsheng's pancreas, Xu Ruxing has never performed surgery again. After so many years, I didn't expect to make an exception for Xu Cang.
"Lawyer Mo, there is also a supplementary agreement regarding the inheritance, and we will need you later..."
Xu Ruxing's property is so huge that it is impossible to measure it. How can such an astronomical amount of property be distributed clearly with just a video will of just one sentence, because there will also be a supplementary inheritance distribution agreement.
"I know, I know." Mo Hui waved his hands, obviously not too concerned about Xu Ruxing's inheritance. He had his own career and was not very utilitarian. He had been helped by Xu Ruxing for most of his life, so he had no idea about Xu Ruxing's property, but he had to find out what kind of person Xu Cang was.
Xu Ruxing’s huge legacy accumulated over the years cannot be given away to someone he doesn’t know.
However, Xu Ruxing is a man of his word and has even made a will. It would be very difficult to change it.
"Brother Xu has been wise all his life, but why does he start talking nonsense when he is about to die?" Mo Hui was stunned and sighed when he thought of the incomprehensible words Xu Ruxing said in the room just now.
The assistant listened with some concern: "What did the boss say?"
"He said that Xu Cang was the one who saved him twenty years ago, so he wanted to give most of the inheritance to him."
"Help?" The assistant obviously didn't know what this was about: "What do you mean?"
Mo Hui also looked a little annoyed: "He said he had a car accident before, and then the man named Xu Cang rescued him, that's it."
"A car accident? No way. I've been with the boss for twelve years and I've never had a car accident."
"What twelve years? It was twenty years ago." Mo Hui frowned, "He said Xu Cang saved him twenty years ago."
"Twenty... twenty years ago?" The assistant was stunned: "But Xu Cang seems to be only in his twenties, which means Xu Cang saved the boss when he was very young. Did they know each other so early?"
"Knowing each other is a joke! Twenty years ago, we went to look for Xu Cang. He was only about four or five years old at that time. He didn't even know what a car was. How could he save people from a car accident? What kind of people could those little arms and legs save?" Mo Hui took out a cigarette and lit it: "But since then, Brother Xu has changed completely. He used to muddle through, but after that, he worked day and night, like a completely different person. It is said that people will have great enlightenment between life and death. Although I have never seen that car accident, Brother Xu really seems to have experienced it."
"You just said that Xu Cang is now a pilot?"
The assistant nodded: "Yeah, it seems pretty impressive."
"So his parents really listened to Brother Xu?"
The assistant was startled: "What?"
"Nothing." Mo Hui glanced at the bedroom door and didn't explain much.
During the long silence, the assistant suddenly asked a question: "Lawyer Mo, you and the boss have been friends for many years. There is one thing I don't understand."
Mo Hui raised his eyelids: "Go ahead."
"My wife clearly passed away two years ago, but why is the date of death on the tablet two years later? What does this mean?"
Mo Hui lowered his head: "This..."
…
In the bedroom, Xu Ruxing just wanted to sit up straighter, but his forehead was already covered with cold sweat. Even with the help of painkillers, the great pain caused by pancreatic cancer could not be completely relieved. However, after leaning back on the cushion, Xu Ruxing still forced himself to adjust his facial expression, hoping to record the following video in a state that looked as normal as possible.
"It's really ironic, isn't it?" Xu Ruxing let out a long sigh. "In order to prevent my wife's pancreatic cancer, I removed part of her pancreas. However, she later died of stomach cancer, and pancreatic cancer fell on me."
Xu Ruxing finally found a relatively comfortable sitting position: "Xu Cang, you don't seem to like flying. I hope you don't blame me. Twenty years ago, I convinced your parents to choose this path for you. However, by the time you see this video, I should no longer be alive. With your character, it seems that you would not have any ill will towards a deceased person, right?"
At this point, Xu Ruxing sighed slightly: "You should have a lot of questions, just like me who was reborn twenty years ago. Before, I didn't understand why I was reborn twenty years earlier than you, but now I seem to understand... I spent twenty years paving the way for a smooth journey, and all you have to do is step on it and keep going. In my previous life, after my wife passed away, I had already lost the last bit of attachment to this world. I originally thought that I should follow my wife in loneliness and indifference, but at the last moment of my life, I still met you."
"It's you who made me realize that there is still brilliance in humanity in this world. Xu Cang, Xu Cang... I'm sorry... No, no..." Xu Ruxing became more and more excited, and even his eyes were moist: "Xu Cang, you are so kind, but why do you have to suffer all this?"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Ruxing felt something invisible strangle his throat, like a chicken being lifted up to be slaughtered, making it impossible for him to breathe. However, at this moment, Xu Ruxing suddenly stretched out his left hand and touched a needle beside the bed. It was a tube of adrenaline.
With almost no hesitation, Xu Ruxing grabbed the adrenaline syringe and, using all his strength, stabbed it directly into his heart.
With the injection of a large amount of adrenaline, Xu Ruxing's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his body functions that had almost stopped started to function again.
After taking a deep breath of air, Xu Ruxing's face flushed abnormally. His heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.
Xu Ruxing's body was twitching constantly, and his body was in a strange opisthotonos position. He was like a machine that was about to stop, and wanted to run it again at the last moment. However, no matter how much power was injected, the broken parts could not drive the whole machine to operate.
It can even be said that too much power will not only fail to drive the machine, but will also destroy the damaged parts.
Xu Ruxing's heart was pumping as fiercely as a thunder drum. His blood pressure continued to rise, and dense red dots could be seen on the surface of his skin. That was a sign of massive capillary bleeding due to excessive blood pressure, and bright red blood was already flowing in his eye sockets and nasal cavity.
Xu Ruxing knew that the end of his life had come.
Looking back, he was such a failure, at the mercy of a shameful fate.
In his previous life, he did not notice the changes in his wife's body, missed the golden period for the discovery of pancreatic cancer, and eventually passed away in 2003. He also never realized his talent and lived his life in a daze.
With another chance, he removed part of his wife's pancreas in advance. However, his wife eventually developed stomach cancer and did not even live to 2003 in her previous life. Instead, she passed away four years earlier. The pancreatic cancer that should have occurred to his wife appeared in him for no reason. It was really ironic.
He failed so badly that even if he tried again, he would still be manipulated by fate like a clown.
Now that death has come, fate has once again grabbed his throat, but this time he must not surrender.
Xu Ruxing didn't know where the strength came from, but he used up all his strength and shouted for the last time in his life: "Why did you treat him like that? Xu Cang, actually..."
However, before he could finish his words, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His fiercely surging heart finally couldn't bear the horrible load brought by the huge amount of adrenaline. After the overload, his heart rate and blood pressure began to drop rapidly.
Xu Ruxing moved his mouth, but he no longer had the strength to utter even a single syllable.
"As expected, I died in such a ridiculous way." Xu Ruxing only felt that everything in his sight was wrapped in red. At that last moment, the experiences of his life flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
He had a happy, carefree time in his youth, a wonderful life with his wife Han Jingsheng, but he also experienced the loneliness of being single and the almost bleak disappointment with the world.
However, the experiences of those two lives came together, and his thoughts returned to the moment before his rebirth.
Still in the red car, Xu Ruxing, with white hair and beard and a numb expression, sat in the back seat of the car. In front of him, the online car-hailing driver had one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand casually on the gear lever. However, if you look closely, you can see that the driver is not actively operating the car, but the car is driving automatically.
At this moment, Xu Ruxing's cell phone rang. He mechanically took out his phone and answered it. Soon, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone: "Doctor Xu, the hospital suddenly sent over..."
Her voice was normal in the first half of the sentence, but as it went on, the tone of her voice started to become strange, as if it was background noise caused by a poor signal.
At this time, the car stopped, and Xu Ruxing noticed that the light in front had just turned red. Then, on his right, a car also stopped. The two cars were very close, and Xu Ruxing could clearly see the driver of the car on his right.
He was a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament and soft features. He must have been a handsome young man when he was young.
"Xu Cang!?" Xu Ruxing clearly recognized that the driver was Xu Cang, the middle-aged Xu Cang.
Just at this moment, the strange electronic noise coming from the phone next to my ear gradually became clearer, and the words became thick and heavy, not the voice of a woman.
The voice was accompanied by noise at first, and it was impossible to hear what was being said clearly. However, as time went on, the voice became clearer and clearer, and it was vaguely discernible that it was a man's voice: "Take Xu Cang to Rosefield Capet."
Xu Ruxing's pupils suddenly contracted. This voice was like a nightmare, deeply engraved in his mind. Even after recalling it countless times, he still felt a fear that penetrated deep into his bones.
This sentence seemed like a curse surrounding the reborn Xu Ruxing, always binding him.
Suddenly, while other cars were still waiting, Xu Ruxing's car suddenly rushed out.
If someone else were to encounter this situation, they would definitely be horrified. However, this was something Xu Ruxing had actually experienced before his rebirth, and this memory often came to him in his dreams at midnight, so he was so familiar with it that he was not surprised at all by the reappearance of this memory.
Almost at the same time as the car Xu Ruxing was in rushed out, a giant chemical transport truck rushed out from the left.
The huge shadow of the transport truck almost covered the entire car. The next moment, the transport truck would knock over the car he was in.
This scene has been repeated countless times.
However, this memory scene that had been repeated countless times without any change suddenly changed without any warning when the transport truck was about to hit him and his life was about to end.
Originally, after that inexplicable fuzzy male electronic voice, the phone call should have been automatically hung up. But this time, the phone was not hung up, and the male voice sounded again. This time the voice was not fuzzy, there was no so-called electronic noise, it was an extremely clear male voice.
"Take me to Rosefield Capet."
Not only did the voice become clearer, but even the content of the speech changed.
As the male voice on the phone fell, the transport truck hit the red sedan. The huge impact force caused the sedan to deform significantly, and then the body turned over.
During the tumbling, Xu Ruxing did not feel the slightest fear because of the car accident. This was just a reappearance of a deep memory before his death. But this time was different from the past. In the last moment before his death, this memory changed, or became clear again. In the past, he did not really recall all the details of the car accident before his rebirth.
Almost in an instant, Xu Ruxing's whole body was surrounded by terror. The new male voice was so familiar to him. It was none other than Xu Cang's voice, the voice of the young Xu Cang.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ruxing suddenly saw the car in which Xu Cang was still parked on the zebra crossing.
In the car, the middle-aged Xu Cang was looking towards him in astonishment.
However, when their eyes met in the void, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Xu Cang's face, which was originally full of shock.
Xu Ruxing only felt a chill that touched his soul. He murmured softly, and uttered the last sigh of his life: "So that's how it is."
beep!
In the real bedroom, the electrocardiogram monitor connected to Xu Ruxing emitted a series of long sounds without any fluctuations. The heart rate monitor showed that Xu Ruxing's heart rate had returned to zero, forming a steady, motionless straight line.
Not far away, the DV was still recording, recording the last moment of Xu Ruxing's life from birth to death.
