Chapter 424: Chapter 424

Arriving at the ward.

At this moment, because Liang Yichao had left for surgery, the VIP2 room was empty except for the abundance of incandescent lights.

Thinking about the sudden incident with Liang Yichao, both Gu Zixuan and Feng Chengjin felt heavy-hearted.

Squatting by the wall, Feng Chengjin glanced around the room, picked up a golden ring box, and examined its deformed state...

He looked around once more and shook his head, "The ring is missing."

Understanding Feng Chengjin’s meaning, Gu Zixuan’s eyes trembled as she said, "No, Weiwei would never do anything to hurt Liang Yichao, she cares about him deeply."

Feng Chengjin meant that Liang Yichao must have proposed to Yu Wei and been rejected, which caused him to throw the ring away. Heartbroken, and enduring his own physical pain, he fell down the stairs while searching for the ring, resulting in serious injury.

Feng Chengjin’s analysis was probably correct, but Gu Zixuan found it hard to believe.

After taking a look around, Feng Chengjin gave a helpless smile, "But the ring is missing, Miss Yu’s phone is off, and it’s an indisputable fact that she hasn’t agreed to be with Young Master Liang all these years."

Gu Zixuan didn’t like Feng Chengjin doubting Yu Wei this way, and she pressed her lips together in mild displeasure.

Feng Chengjin glanced over, giving a helpless smile. After all, men’s perspectives differ from women’s, and being Pei Yongyou’s friend, he had to remain neutral in this matter; it was genuinely difficult to decide which side to support.

So, after a moment of silence, Feng Chengjin stuffed the ring box into his pants pocket, looked again at the ward’s situation, and noticed the disordered bed and discarded tissues. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Realizing something, Feng Chengjin opened the window to ventilate the room, flipped the bed linen, tidied the garbage, and then said, "Let’s go."

Still willing to help Yu Wei with the aftermath and understanding Feng Chengjin’s intentions, Gu Zixuan looked at him silently. After a moment, she couldn’t help but smile, tiptoeing to peck his cheek before he left the room.

"You really are a bane to all formulaic parents."

Feng Chengjin acknowledged it, chuckling as he turned his head, "Don’t expect too much; I’m not someone who can deal with every parent."

Implied beneath his words, Gu Zixuan glanced at Feng Chengjin, unsure of the depth he possessed. But thinking of Liang Yichao currently in the ICU, her heart sank momentarily. Without thinking further, she followed Feng Chengjin out.

Qiu Mingyan arrived only 8 minutes later than they did.

Living far away, there was nothing he could do about certain things.

But upon knowing where Qiu Mingyan lived and seeing him manage to arrive at this time, Mr. Liang and some brothers from Rong City’s Loyalty Hall couldn’t help but feel hopeful and moved at heart.

Qiu Mingyan was the top surgeon in the orthopedic department at Southern Fourth Hospital.

He was an authority in orthopedic surgery across Rong City, having operated on all manner of major accidents, crush injuries, and collisions. Unless there was no hope for the patient to survive until surgery, the mortality rate of his operations was extremely low.

Among the young orthopedic surgeons currently, Qiu Mingyan was unquestionably the highest in comprehensive evaluation from knowledge to physical stamina.

Qiu Mingyan had changed into lake green sterile work clothing, wearing slippers as he began walking towards the surgical disinfection area, asking the surgical nurse Little Chu beside him, "What’s the patient’s condition now?"

"Heart rate is 58, blood loss has reached 400CC and is stable, not worsening further. The patient has been in shock for 37 minutes. X-ray and MRI indicate fractures in the sacrum and ribs. Two minutes ago, Doctor Huo performed a pupil dilation test, and other vital signs are still relatively good. We’ve prepared four bags of blood, and Doctor Huo’s team conducted the necessary pre-surgery work. Now we’re just waiting for you to lead the surgery. The only issue is..."

"The patient’s blood pressure is too low, with a low of only 40 and a high hovering around 70, still showing a downward trend. The vasopressor has no effect... I’m afraid..."

Qiu Mingyan frowned; if the blood pressure was too low, the surgery couldn’t be performed.

Around them, hearing about Liang Yichao’s physical condition, Mr. Liang, Liang Bingchao, and others felt a bit faint.

Qiu Mingyan glanced around and said, "Family members should go wait outside, or not have too many people here. It will be very inconvenient if you’re blocking the entrance when the surgery finishes, and there are other patients having surgery inside too, whose families also need space to rest. It’s not good to crowd the area. Don’t worry about the surgery; from an orthopedic perspective, these are minor issues. Little Chu, please prepare four more bags of blood. I’ll go check on how we can increase blood pressure and then prepare for surgery."

Little Chu quickly ran off.

At the scene, everyone glanced at the other operating rooms where families were also waiting for results. Seeing a dark crowd of tattooed, black-clad people, they all kept their distance.

Mr. Liang and the others hesitated for a moment, giving a second glance at this doctor who treated everyone equally, an admiration surfaced in their hearts, despite knowing Qiu Mingyan was driving them away. Even though they were displeased, normally they might grab Qiu Mingyan by the collar and issue a warning, but at this moment, an unwarranted respect prevailed.

Moreover, coupled with Qiu Mingyan’s calm assurance of "minor issues" and "preparing for surgery".

For some reason, it was like a soothing balm that instantly calmed a large area of restless hearts.

Mr. Liang looked at the scene, nodded, "You guys go wait somewhere else; I’ll stay here with Bingchao and Qide."

Qide was an uncle who watched Liang Yichao grow up and loved him the most.

Hearing this, everyone nodded, except for the two who were supporting Mr. Liang, the rest wisely kept their distance.

In front of the empty rows of seats in the family waiting area, Mr. Liang sat down and casually waved at the other waiting families, "Just sit and wait, it was a bit awkward just now."

Seeing such a gangster-like setup, the other families were timid in such an atmosphere, but ignoring it made them feel even more uneasy, so they could only sit down, apprehensive.

But the moment they sat down, they heard, "Who in your family is in surgery, and what’s the situation?"

All the anxious family members put everything aside and couldn’t help but start exchanging their concerns with tears in their eyes.

Before Qiu Mingyan entered surgery, predictably, the hospital leaders couldn’t bear to see other families pushed to the edges because of his earlier dismissive remarks, and the chilling atmosphere they had just witnessed, couldn’t help but reprimand him a little.

Qiu Mingyan twitched his lips, rolled his eyes helplessly, and pretended not to hear as he stepped in.

The hospital leader behind him couldn’t help but mutter, "Hey, you little rascal."

On the other side, against the wall.

Feng Chengjin watched Mr. Liang closely interacting with the families at that moment.

For a moment, across the interplay of light and shadow, he kind of understood Mr. Liang’s current state.

Mr. Liang, after all, is old, and indeed doesn’t want to be in that line of work anymore. His son’s life-threatening situation should make Mr. Liang less inclined to get involved in any underworld faction wars...

If enmity arises between the southern and northern factions, there will be more unspeakable bloodshed.

Feng Chengjin knew this wasn’t the optimal solution. Mr. Liang trying to downplay the conflict was only human, and with his higher education, he didn’t want to go down this path either. But after some contemplation, he looked at Gu Zixuan beside him.

His heart irresistibly grew heavy.

Liang Tianyou’s influence was simply too great.

Mr. Liang wasn’t helping.

Facing Liang Shiman, who was targeting Gu Zixuan, what could he do?

Moreover, the meeting with Gu Zixuan’s father the day after tomorrow...

Thinking about the promise he made today to keep Gu Zixuan unaware...

At that moment, outside the quiet yet tense surgery room, Feng Chengjin rubbed his forehead, feeling overwhelmed.

It was as if an indescribable pressure and ominous feeling loomed overhead, filling his heart with irritation...

Inside Qiu Mingyan’s apartment.

At that moment, Feng Chengyue lay on the clean, smoky gray bed, unable to hold back a low chuckle.

Recalling how Qiu Mingyan quickly got up and dressed after answering a phone call.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Did Mr. Liang have a fall?"

"Yeah, it’s quite serious, needs immediate surgery." Qiu Mingyan pulled up his pants, paused midway, and glanced back at her with a frown. Then, shyly covering himself with a blanket, he turned his back and continued to dress.

This action made Feng Chengyue both amused and exasperated.

Pushing his body, she said, "Why are you so shy? Mr. Liang is waiting for you to save his life, how long are you going to dawdle in getting dressed?"

Qiu Mingyan knew he was slow in dressing. In the past, he would’ve been ready by now.

It’s just that thinking about before, the back of his head couldn’t help but feel tingly.

His face tightened with embarrassment, "Then you turn around and don’t look at me."

Instantly, Feng Chengyue’s exasperated smile grew even more helpless. Really, who was losing out by being looked at here?

But thinking of her good relationship with Yu Wei, and Liang Yichao having helped out before, with a good impression, she could only adhere to the life-over-death principle and turned around.

Meanwhile, after thinking for a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, "Is it very serious? Why don’t I go with you, I can lend a hand."

By now, Qiu Mingyan had already put on his pants and fastened his belt, hung his shirt, and was in the process of putting on his socks.

Hearing this, he nodded reflexively, "Okay."

But then paused for three seconds, turned back to Feng Chengyue, and hesitated, "Or maybe you shouldn’t go..."
