Chapter 491 Tearing

After a long time, perhaps just a moment, or perhaps a long century, she slowly straightened her body inch by inch.

The hair that fell across her forehead, wet with sweat and tears, stuck to her cheeks in a mess. She raised her hand and casually pushed it behind her ear, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes that burned with an astonishing light.

The pain is still heart-wrenching.

But after the pain, there is a more profound clarity of mind.

Thoughts.

She was still waiting for help.

That idiot Zhao Xiyue actually placed his only hope on a vicious woman like Su Jiujiu.

Ji Wan stood up suddenly, but because he stood up too quickly, his vision went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fell again.

She held onto the wall to steady herself, her chest heaving violently.

She couldn't fall.

For Nian Nian, she must hold on.

Ji Wan took a deep breath, the air tinged with ice, scratching her throat, but also clearing her chaotic thoughts a little. She fumbled for her phone from her bag, which had been scattered on the floor. The screen still bore traces of tears from her earlier struggle.

Her fingers turned slightly white from the force. She opened the address book, found the number she knew by heart, and dialed it.

The call was connected almost immediately.

"Mr. Ji." Assistant Lin Wei's capable and calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ji Wan spoke, his voice hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, but every word carried undeniable force. "Immediately, mobilize all your connections and resources. Find me someone worldwide who can successfully match Nian Nian's bone marrow."

The assistant paused slightly, clearly startled by Ji Wan's voice and tone. However, she didn't ask a single question, simply responding in a deep voice, "Yes, President Ji. Is there a time limit?"

"There's no time limit." Ji Wan's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of uncontrollable madness. "As long as we can find them, no matter what conditions they offer, money, status, resources, as long as we can afford it, we will meet them, no matter the cost."

She paused, a ruthless look flashing in her eyes: "Remember, it's at all costs, even if it means asking for everything I have. As long as he's willing to donate bone marrow to save Nian Nian, I'll give it to him."

The assistant on the other end gasped. She had followed Ji Wan for many years and knew that she was decisive, but she had never seen her act so recklessly and crazily.

But she understood even more clearly what the little girl named Nian Nian meant to Mr. Ji.

"Understood. Mr. Ji, I'll do it right away." The assistant's voice was full of execution without any hesitation.

"Also," Ji Wan added, his voice regaining some of its iciness, "I want this to be kept absolutely confidential. I don't want anyone else besides you and me to know that I'm looking for a bone marrow source. Especially not the Chi family and Zhao Xiyue."

When mentioning these two names, Ji Wan's voice was filled with undisguised disgust and coldness.

"Yes, Mr. Ji, I will take care of it." The assistant promised solemnly.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Wan's tense body relaxed slightly. She walked to the window and looked at the gray sky outside, her eyes as deep as a bottomless cold pond.

Zhao Xiyue, Su Jiujiu, Chi Wenyan...

She will settle this account with them one by one.

But right now, the most important thing is Nian Nian.

As long as she can save Nian Nian, she doesn't care about anything and can give up anything.

Her fingers gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from the strain. Her eyes, red and swollen from crying, were now devoid of tears. Instead, they held a bottomless black vortex, and at its center, a single, unyielding, burning flame.

She, Ji Wan, has never been a lamb to be slaughtered.

Since they had turned her world upside down, she would let them also experience what it meant to be hopelessly destroyed.

The hospital door was like the mouth of a cold beast, tightly closed.

Zhao Xiyue was stopped again, and her arm was ruthlessly blocked by the bodyguard in a black suit. The force was so strong that it left no room for questioning.

"Let me in. I'm Nian Nian... I'm her relative, why don't you let me in?" Zhao Xiyue's voice was hoarse and her eyes were red. The torture of several days and nights made her haggard, and her former elegance was gone.

The bodyguard had a blank expression on his face and said in a flat voice, "Miss Ji has instructed that no one is allowed to visit without his permission."

"Chi Wenyan? What right does he have?" Zhao Xiyue's chest heaved violently, a surge of anger rising to the top of her head. "Nian Nian is critically ill. She needs me. Get out of the way."

She tried to force her way in, but was pushed back even harder. She took a few steps back in embarrassment and almost fell.

Despair was like an icy tide that instantly drowned her.

Nian Nian, her Nian Nian, was inside, her life or death uncertain. And she couldn't even take a look.

Why. Why is this happening?

It's all because of that bitch Su Jiujiu. If it weren't for her, how could Nian Nian...

A surge of fury erupted like a volcano, instantly overtaking Zhao Xiyue's sanity. She spun around abruptly, her crimson eyes burning with madness.

Su wine.

She also has Su Jiujiu, the only woman who could save Nian Nian, but also the one who turned everything upside down.

Zhao Xiyue rushed out of the hospital, got into the car, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine roared like a beast, and rushed towards the basement where Su Jiujiu was imprisoned.

"Bang--!"

Zhao Xiyue kicked the basement door open, and the loud noise echoed in the claustrophobic space.

Su Jiujiu, curled up in the corner, trembled with fear and raised her head in horror. After not seeing the sun for a few days, she had lost her former radiance. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale.

She was wearing dirty clothes, and only her eyes, in the dim light, still revealed a hint of unwillingness and resentment.

"Zhao Xiyue...you, what do you want to do?" Su Jiujiu's voice couldn't stop trembling.

Zhao Xiyue approached step by step, her eyes so fierce that it seemed as if she wanted to eat her alive.

"What do I want to do?" Zhao Xiyue sneered, her voice like poisoned ice. "Su Jiujiu, you vicious woman with a scorpion heart. Nian Nian is dying. She needs a bone marrow transplant. In this entire hospital, in this entire city, you're the only one. Only you, a bitch, can save her."

Su Jiujiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and then a hint of imperceptible pride flashed across her eyes: "Really? That's really unfortunate."

"What a coincidence?" Zhao Xiyue grabbed her hair and forced her to look up. "How dare you say what a coincidence? If it weren't for your deliberate scheme, if it weren't for you being such a nuisance, how could Nian Nian be lying in bed suffering? Why would Ji Wan not let me see her?"

Su Jiujiu screamed as she felt a sharp pain in her scalp. "Let me go, Zhao Xiyue, you're crazy. What does Nian Nian's illness have to do with me? It's you who are useless."
