Chapter 461 The Child Cannot Be Saved

Outside the ward, Shen Qingshu looked at Han Mingyu and said, "I know the gist of it. The person she found is a friend of mine and Fu Siyan. He has incredible abilities."

Han Mingyu lowered his eyes. "When did she start investigating?"

“A few days ago,” Shen Qingshu said, “Han Mingyu, you really did something wrong this time. You thought you were helping her, but actually you were hurting her.”

Han Mingyu's eyelashes trembled, and his breathing became labored.

“I will take care of her, but I suggest you don’t come over for a while. Such a thing is an extremely painful experience for any woman.”

“I really didn’t know things were like this… If I had known, I wouldn’t have stood by and watched someone die…”

“It’s too late to say all this now,” Shen Qingshu said. “The doctor said her condition is very bad, and the fetal heartbeat is also not good. This child is likely to die.”

Han Mingyu suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qingshu in disbelief. "How could this be? The baby was always very active and healthy before, and all the prenatal checkups were fine."

"Her high fever is caused by emotional distress. Blood tests came back normal, but the high fever keeps recurring. High fever is very harmful to the fetus."

Han Mingyu took a few steps back, clutching his chest and panting heavily.

“I’ll contact Uncle Jin to see if he can help. You should go back now.” Shen Qingshu sighed. “For the sake of the child, I’ll keep you updated on her situation every day. You should take advantage of these few days to clean up those rotten people and messes.”

After finishing her sentence, Shen Qingshu turned around, pushed open the ward door, and went inside.

The ward doors were closed.

Han Mingyu stared at the tightly closed door, his heart clenching with intense pain that had lingered ever since Qi Mingxuan turned and left.

He was at a loss, about the past, about the present, and even about their future.

...

A villa by the sea in the suburbs.

The Rolls-Royce stopped in the yard.

Han Mingyu pushed open the car door and got out.

He trudged through the snow, a baseball bat in his hand, and walked step by step into the villa.

Inside the villa, Chen Wei was bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground.

Upon seeing Han Mingyu appear, a look of terror crossed his face: "Young Master Han, Young Master Han, please let me explain! It was that bitch Lin Xiaoyue who instigated me. I didn't want to do it, but she threatened me, saying that if I didn't do as she said, she would report me..."

Han Mingyu walked to the sofa and sat down, using a baseball bat to brace himself against the ground. He looked at Chen Wei, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes cold and menacing: "What did I report you for?"

"Report me..." Chen Wei's eyes darted around.

"Are you going to report me for sexually assaulting a minor in my hometown?"

Chen Wei's pupils contracted sharply!

"Chen Wei, you should have died eighteen years ago. You're lucky to have lived another eighteen years, just like that bitch Lin Xiaoyue!"

Han Mingyu's voice was icy, "You are all lucky, only my wife is unlucky, she met you, and she met me."

"No, I didn't touch Qi Mingxuan at the time. I was just helping to take pictures, I..."

"If you were involved, you deserve to die!"

“Zhang Zihao instigated me, he’s the ringleader! Lin Xiaoyue and Zhang Zihao were the ones who devised the plan. They even made me take photos and videos, saying they would use those videos to extort money from Qi Zhao! But I swear, I really didn’t touch Qi Mingxuan, Young Master Han, I really didn’t…”

"Chen Wei, Qi Zhao crippled your right hand back then, so tell me, should I cripple your left hand today?"

Chen Wei shook his head, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Young Master Han, I really know I was wrong! Please give me another chance, Young Master Han. I can stand up and accuse Lin Xiaoyue! That bitch has been targeting Qi Mingxuan in private all along. She's just jealous of Qi Mingxuan's good family background and good looks!"

"So, you dislike Lin Xiaoyue too?"

"I don't just hate her, I despise her! If she hadn't instigated me back then, would I have suffered like this?! In the end, I didn't even get the money. Qi Zhao crippled my hand to get revenge on me and even had my father's factory ruined. My whole family had to go back to our hometown. It's all because of that bitch Lin Xiaoyue. If I catch her, I'll make her pay!"

Han Mingyu coldly curled his lips, "Then I'll give you a chance."

Chen Wei was taken aback, not quite understanding what Han Mingyu meant.

Han Mingyu gave Guan Shuo a wink.

Guan Shuo then had Chen Wei taken upstairs.

Soon, Lin Xiaoyue's shrill screams came from upstairs.

"Chen Wei, let me go! Chen Wei, you bastard, what are you doing—ah!!!"

Guan Shuo came downstairs.

Han Mingyu stood up and handed the baseball bat to Guan Shuo: "Find a few thugs to take good care of Lin Xiaoyue. As for Chen Wei, his leg is crippled, send him to the police station."

Guan Shuo looked at Han Mingyu and felt that he was filled with a kind of calm madness.

"Mr. Han, will Miss Lin just stay locked up like this?"

"Keep her locked up. Arrange for a few people to take good care of her every day. Remember to record it on video, in high definition. She likes fame, so let her become famous all over the world."

"Understood!"

When Han Mingyu walked out of the villa, the heavy snow that had been falling all day had stopped.

He looked at the thick snow on the ground.

Thinking of how Qi Mingxuan left this morning.

The snow she had stepped on had covered her footprints.

It was as if she had never been here.

If only I had never come.

Han Mingyu clutched his chest and stepped into the snow.

One step at a time.

The snow season has arrived in the northern part of the city, and Lunar New Year's Eve is not far away.

But it seems his home is gone.

…

Han's mother only found out about the incident after receiving a call from Dean Ji!

She immediately went to Kangji Hospital.

The people guarding Qi Mingxuan were An Mi, Shen Qingshu, and Ji Lin.

Her unfilial son, Han Mingyu, has disappeared without a trace.

Han's mother treated Qi Mingxuan very well, and Anmi did not stop her.

In the ward, Qi Mingxuan was fast asleep.

Her face was pale and thin, devoid of any color.

Han's mother watched, and tears immediately fell from her eyes.

“Xiao Xuan…” Han’s mother leaned down and gently touched her face with both hands. “How could this happen? She was fine last night, how could she suddenly be like this…”

Anmi wiped away her tears.

She has cried several times today, and her eyes are sore and painful.

Ji Lin didn't know the specifics, but he knew that the matter originated from Han Mingyu.

"Where is Han Mingyu?" Han's mother wiped away her tears and looked at Ji Lin. "Xiao Xuan is in the hospital, such a big thing, where is he?"

Ji Lin didn't know what to say.

As someone who knew the situation, Shen Qingshu took Han's mother's hand and led her outside.

“Auntie, this matter involves President Qi’s personal privacy, so I can’t tell you. However, it’s not that Han Mingyu refused to come this time, but that President Qi doesn’t want to see him again.”

Han's mother couldn't believe it. "Has Han Mingyu done something outrageous again?"

"You should go back and ask him yourself." Shen Qingshu didn't want her elders to worry. "I'll stay here to help take care of things. Don't worry, I've already contacted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor I know, and he's on his way. We'll do our best to take good care of President Qi."

Han's mother nodded, "Then I'll trouble you to take care of it. I'll go back and ask Han Mingyu first. Let's exchange contact information, and you can let me know if anything happens..."

After Shen Qingshu and Han's mother exchanged WeChat contacts, Han's mother left in a hurry.

…

Mingyuan Garden.

Han's mother walked in from outside and asked Lan's mother, "Where is that scoundrel Han Mingyu?"

"As soon as the young master came back, he locked himself in his study. I thought something was wrong with him."

"Where is Qi Yue?"

"Young Master just asked me to take the young master to Hanlou."

"At least he's acting like a father!" Mother Han shook her head and instructed, "Go to the master bedroom and pack some comfortable clothes for the young mistress, including underwear. Pack them in a suitcase, and I'll take them with me later."

"Young Madam, this is..."

"Don't ask anymore, just do as I say. If Qi Yue asks, just say that Mom is away on a business trip."

Upon hearing this, Lan's mother knew that something had probably happened again.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go now." Lan's mother walked upstairs.

She couldn't help but wonder: Are the young master and young mistress incompatible according to their birth charts? How come they've been in and out of the hospital countless times since they got married, especially the young mistress, who's practically living in the hospital!

…

Han's mother felt somewhat comforted by Han Mingyu's timely act of having Qi Yue sent to Hanlou.

The situation on Qi Mingxuan's side is not optimistic.

Qi Yue is sensitive, so it's better not to let him know for now.

Han's mother arrived at the second-floor study and knocked on the door.

In the study, Han Mingyu was looking at the contents of the USB drive.

Hearing the knock, he quickly turned off the USB drive and got up to open the door.

The moment the door opened, Han Mingyu was slapped.

"Han Mingyu, what did I tell you! I told you to take good care of Xiaoxuan, what did you promise me? What did you guarantee me! And yet, in such a short time, you've driven her to the hospital again!"

As she cursed and hit him, Han's mother's voice gradually choked with sobs: "What did that child owe you in his past life? He hasn't had a single peaceful day in this life since he met you! How could I have raised such a scoundrel! Tell me, what have you done this time?!"

Han Mingyu kept his head down, enduring the beatings and scoldings.

"Mom, I'm sorry to her."

Han's mother was stunned.

Looking at her son like this, she felt a strong sense of unease.

"What do you mean by this?" Han's mother pointed at him. "You really have wronged Xiaoxuan? Did you cheat on her? Or are you still having an affair with that Lin Xiaoyue? Han Mingyu! Say something!"

"Mom, it was my fault before, I was so immature, I hurt Xiaoxuan... In short, I'm sorry to her..."

As Han Mingyu spoke, his tall frame knelt down.

He raised his hand and slapped himself several times. "Mom, I'm finished. I've lost her. She'll never forgive me. She'll never come back..."

Han's mother's face changed drastically, and suddenly everything went black.

This was the first time she had ever seen Han Mingyu like this.

This shows how far things had escalated to before they became completely irreparable.

But no matter how much his mother pressed him, Han Mingyu wouldn't say for sure what it was about.

That matter concerned Qi Mingxuan's privacy; it was the nightmare Qi Mingxuan least wanted to face, and Han Mingyu couldn't tell her.

He would rather everyone around him think that he cheated on his wife, that he was unfaithful to her, and that it was his betrayal of their marriage that caused Qi Mingxuan to become heartbroken and never look back.

Han's mother cursed him as a beast and refused to look at him.

She was still thinking about Qi Mingxuan, so she grabbed the clothes that Lan Ma had packed and rushed to the hospital again.

Not long after Han's mother left, the nursing home called.

It's said there's been progress on Qi Zhao's end!

Han Mingyu rushed to the sanatorium.

…

Kangji Hospital.

When Han's mother came over with the clothes, Jin Huaimin had just arrived.

Jin Huaimin took Qi Mingxuan's pulse, his expression grave. "The mother's body is too weak; I'm afraid this child cannot be saved."
