After He Tiantian returned from Qi Daniu's place, she summoned the Snake King.

"Gurgle gurgle..." The sound was a little urgent, showing that He Tiantian was very anxious.

The Snake King, who was cultivating, sensed the Snake King's anxiety and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Snake King, something's happened to Brother Yingjie, please help him, okay?" He Tiantian said, choking back tears. "I'm going to Yanjing, will you come with me?"

The Snake King hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

For a fleeting moment, the Snake King felt a strange sense of pleasure, hoping that Huo Yingjie would get into trouble or even disappear!

"Snake King, I beg you," He Tiantian pleaded. "Little Whirlwind Turtle was with him, but he's injured. Something very serious must have happened. If you don't help me, I really don't know who else can."

He Tiantian was in tears. Ever since she learned that Huo Yingjie was injured, she had been anxious, but she didn't dare to show too much sadness in front of her parents, for fear of worrying them.

Now, facing the Snake King, He Tiantian can finally cry out loud.

Because He Tiantian knew that there was a barrier between her and the Snake King when she was on the phone, and that the outside world could not understand her voice, so she could release it without any worries!

Seeing He Tiantian's tears, the Snake King lowered his head, suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.

"Okay..." the Snake King said with difficulty, "I'll help you!"

After saying that, he went directly from the barrier on the back mountain to the barrier on He Tiantian's ankle.

With the Snake King by her side, He Tiantian felt slightly relieved.

The all-powerful Snake King can surely solve all problems.

After making the arrangements, He Jingyu had lunch and then, together with He Tiantian, each rode a bicycle to the county town.

He Tiantian's large bag of luggage was all on He Jingyu's bicycle, and on the other side was a basket of peaches, with He Jingyu's luggage on top of it.

The father and daughter went directly to Niu Dajun. They left their bicycles with him and were able to board the train without buying tickets. They bought tickets on the train and got sleeper berths.

When the train arrived in Nanshi, they had to transfer, but luckily they had acquaintances who made the procedures quick. They waited for half an hour before a train from Nanshi to Yanjing arrived.

The journey was long, so I bought a sleeper ticket.

Throughout the journey, He Tiantian was constantly worried about Huo Yingjie. The Snake King inside the barrier, because of their shared bloodline, could clearly sense He Tiantian's feelings.

Inside the barrier, the Snake King transformed into the appearance of a young boy, repeatedly smiling bitterly.

When he was undergoing his tribulation, the Snake King could sense He Tiantian's concern and worry, but it was just like the care one would show to a friend or family member.

At this moment, He Tiantian was heartbroken, deeply worried, and utterly distraught—feelings only for a lover.

On the way, because Huo Yingjie was injured, He Jingyu and He Tiantian were not in the mood to look at the scenery on both sides of the train, and only thought about getting to Yanjing as soon as possible.

We arrived in Yanjing at nine o'clock the next morning.

Previously, Niu Dajun had already sent a telegram to Yanjing for He Jingyu. Huo Zhekun estimated the time and sent someone to pick him up at the train station early.

Huo Zhekun was touched to see that He Jingyu had also come.

"Brother He, Tiantian, you must be tired from your journey," Huo Zhekun said with emotion. "Don't stand, get in the car!"

“It’s not hard work, Uncle Huo. How is Brother Yingjie?” He Tiantian asked hurriedly, eager to know about Huo Yingjie’s condition.

Huo Zhekun looked at He Tiantian, who had grown up, taller, and even more beautiful, and said with a wry smile, "There are too many people here, let's talk in the car."

He Jingyu and He Tiantian felt a sudden jolt of fear, sensing that something was wrong.

He Jingyu is an adult, and a man, so he was able to suppress his sadness.

But He Tiantian couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing this, Huo Zhekun said as he walked, "Tian Tian, ​​don't worry too much!"

"Uncle Huo, just tell me directly, what happened to Brother Yingjie?" He Tiantian sobbed uncontrollably, attracting the attention of those around her, but she didn't care at all.

Seeing this, Huo Zhekun sighed inwardly, no wonder his son was so fond of He Tiantian.

This wonderful girl is the apple of anyone's eye.

“Yingjie’s physical injuries have almost healed, but he remains unconscious. He only responds when your name is mentioned,” Huo Zhekun said. “So I sent a telegram asking you to come over, hoping that Yingjie can wake up soon.”

"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback. "Unconscious? What happened?"

"Who knows!" Huo Zhekun said. "Get in the car. What follows can't be said in front of outsiders."

Once on the bus, the driver started the engine and slowly drove away from the train station.

“A missile landed near Yingjie. He was injured at the time, but not seriously. After treatment, he has recovered. But he just won’t wake up. We’ve tried everything, but it hasn’t helped much. Yingjie only moves his fingers when we mention your name,” Huo Zhekun said with a bitter face. “Tiantian, you must spend more time with Yingjie so that he can wake up soon.”

Huo Zhekun didn't want to tell He Tiantian about the secret base, so he directly told her how Huo Yingjie got injured.

"Uncle Huo, don't worry, I'll stay with Yingjie." He Tiantian nodded, hoping to return to the hospital soon.

Hearing Huo Zhekun's words, He Jingyu felt conflicted.

Of course, it would be best if Huo Yingjie could wake up.

But... but what if I don't wake up? What should I do then?

Will his daughter stay by Huo Yingjie's side for the rest of her life?

What's the difference between that and living as a widow?

However, the Huo family is currently facing a great calamity, so He Jingyu can only hide his worries and deal with them later.

Putting aside the fact that the He family owes the Huo family many favors, they won't leave just because of their daughter's affection for Huo Yingjie.

"Brother Huo, don't worry, Yingjie will be alright," He Jingyu comforted him, which was also his greatest wish.

Otherwise, my daughter will face another very cruel choice!

Time seemed to drag on endlessly. After what felt like an eternity, He Tiantian arrived at a beautiful and quiet hospital.

After getting out of the car, He Tiantian followed closely behind Huo Zhekun to Huo Yingjie's ward.

In the ward, there were not only Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo, but also Huo Yingjun, who had just returned from abroad, and Huo Yingqi.

He Tiantian's arrival drew everyone's attention to her.

He Tiantian's gaze, however, fell on Huo Yingjie.

When Jiang Lifang saw He Tiantian arrive, she didn't even bother to accept her. She grabbed He Tiantian and said, "Yingjie, Tiantian's here! Wake up quickly!"

Attracted by Jiang Lifang's voice, everyone gathered around Huo Yingjie's hospital bed.

Previously, only one of Huo Yingjie's fingers moved, but now three fingers are moving.
