Nie Zhao reached out his hand, but did not grab his father's hand. In fact, at first his gaze was on Nie Rong, but after Nie Rong spoke, he turned his gaze to Chen Rou.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered in the corridor, including doctors, nurses, caregivers, bodyguards and secretaries from the Nie family, Nie Rong and his son, Nie Han and Chen Rou, making the corridor densely packed.

As Nie Rong uttered a rebuke, the entire corridor fell silent.

It's important to know that although Nie Zhao was born in Hong Kong, he had been studying in Europe since he was 12 years old and later did business in Europe. Because he was rarely in Hong Kong, few people in Hong Kong knew much about his personality and character. However, it would be unbelievable to outsiders that his father would scold him for being stupid when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Of course, when the richest man loses his temper with his son, it's not easy for ordinary people to advise him.

In the awkward silence, the head of neurosurgery said softly, "Chairman Nie, your third master has developed a very serious infection in addition to his intracranial injury. He needs to be taken to the intensive care unit immediately. Let's talk about everything later."

Nie Rong finally stopped losing her temper and, supporting her son's hospital bed, said, "I'll handle your mess. Just focus on recovering."

He turned around and glared fiercely at Chen Rou, his gaze seeming to say: Just wait and see how I deal with you.

You see, at this point in his mind, even if Chen Rou wasn't the instigator or mastermind behind the kidnapping, she was definitely an accomplice. Nie Han and Nie Zhao were Nie Rong's eldest granddaughter and youngest son, and they were so badly injured that he was furious. He was ready to deal with Chen Rou.

Just as the doctors were pushing the bed past Chen Rou, Nie Zhao suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Of course, Chen Rou was Nie Zhao's newlywed wife, and it seemed normal to outsiders that he was holding his wife's hand.

Nie Rong regarded Chen Rou as a villain, and in his heart, he always felt that his youngest son was kidnapped because he was too stupid and clumsy. How could he feel comfortable when his son held his daughter-in-law's hand?

Of course, he had his composure. He stepped back, put his elbow on Secretary An, and coldly stared at his son.

Nie Zhao gripped Chen Rou's hand tightly, clearly trying to sit up, but he used a lot of force, his hand clenching so hard that the veins were bulging, while his lower body remained completely still.

He was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting downwards to his own legs.

Outsiders couldn't tell, but he was actually trying to move his legs. He couldn't move them for a while, and he was obviously very surprised, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

When a person is on the verge of death, they naturally only want to survive, disregarding everything else to live.

Once you survive and are certain that you can live, you become even more greedy. You want healthy limbs, you want to walk freely, and you want to be a normal person in the future.

Chen Rou had seen many cases like Nie Zhao's.

He had just escaped death, only to find that he couldn't move his legs, which was a huge blow to him.

She grasped Nie Zhao's hand tightly and said softly, "It will be alright!" She further explained, "Thanks to Chairman Nie's efforts in making adjustments, a very excellent doctor will soon come to perform the surgery for you, and you will be able to recover completely afterward."

A patient with a head injury, just like a heart patient, is most afraid of drastic mood swings.

Nie Zhao is an example. He has intracranial hemorrhages and blocked blood clots. When he gets excited, the intracranial pressure increases, which only aggravates the intracranial hemorrhage. The outward manifestation of this is that his pupils visibly dilate in an instant.

The head doctor became anxious upon seeing this and personally pushed the bed, saying to Chen Rou, "Ms. Chen, the patient is currently agitated, which will affect his condition. Let's talk about this later. Let him go to the intensive care unit."

Chen Rou wanted to let go, but Nie Zhao's legs couldn't move, but his hands were exceptionally strong, holding her hand tightly.

She had no choice but to join the doctors in pushing Nie Zhao into the intensive care unit.

On the way to the intensive care unit, Chen Rou was certain that Nie Zhao had consciously drawn many lines on her palm. Based on her experience, he must have drawn a few words.

Of those characters, the first one is the easiest to guess because it's the character '梅' (plum blossom), which Nie Zhao wrote with the most force and with the most difficulty.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the door of the intensive care unit.

Once this is done, unless the surgery is completed, the Nie family should not disturb him in order to stabilize his condition.

Chen Rou actually understands Nie Zhao quite well.

Although she hadn't known Nie Rong for very long, she could tell that he was the kind of autocratic, stubborn, and patriarchal figure.

There was a member of the Nie family who was an inside man for the pirates. It was this person who betrayed Nie Zhao's itinerary, which led to him being surrounded and kidnapped by the pirates when he set sail.

That person was certainly not Nie Rong, but he was very likely connected to Secretary An or Nie Rong's four bodyguards.

Nie Zhao was wounded to the point of near death by the pirates. He was naturally filled with hatred and wanted to find the traitor.

But to him, his father, Nie Rong, was someone he could trust, but not someone he could rely on.

He was seriously injured and needed surgery immediately. The only person he could trust now was Chen Rou, who had led him out of the bandit's den and back to Hong Kong.

Moreover, as a party involved, he knows more about the Nie family than Chen Rou does. He should know better than Chen Rou who the mole, the traitor, and the one who betrayed him is.

So what he wrote in her palm just now must have been the name of that mole.

Since he was the mole, Nie Zhao couldn't openly reveal it, and Chen Rou couldn't shout it from the rooftops. When they reached the door of the intensive care unit, he let go of Chen Rou's hand. Although his eyes were still open, his pupils dilated instantly.
