Chapter 157 Shot

In the hospital, many people came and went, and doctors and nurses were constantly going in and out of the emergency room. Yun Zhaozhao sat at the door with a coat on her shoulders, her eyes somewhat glazed over.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Xiao and Wen Jingyu felt extremely distressed.

None of them dared to speak at that moment. Zhou Xiao, after all, came from a family of doctors. He had heard that Pei Jiuyan was on the verge of death when he was brought here, having been shot twice.

But no one dared to say that.

Zhou Yueming had just come out of the consultation room. He glanced at Yun Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao, Old Huang's condition has stabilized. He only has some minor skin and flesh injuries, but he is getting old and needs to rest more."

"Xixi has fallen asleep after finishing her milk. Two nannies are taking care of her, so don't worry."

I thought Yun Zhaozhao wouldn't react, but to my surprise, she said very clearly, "Thank you, Brother Yue Ming."

"You should go and see it too."

Zhou Yueming suggested that Yun Zhaozhao looked quite bad, covered in blood, with bloodstains all over her face.

"...I'm fine."

Yun Zhaozhao spoke up, saying that she knew her own body better than anyone else. She was not injured, but Chen Boxu had used some force when he choked her neck, so her neck was a little sore but nothing serious, it just looked scary.

Zhou Yueming wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

He was a doctor, and he knew that Pei Jiuyan was facing a life-or-death situation this time.

The corridor fell silent. After a while, Assistant Qin rushed over. He wanted to ask how things were going, but seeing Yun Zhaozhao's appearance, he guessed what had happened.

To everyone's surprise, Yun Zhaozhao asked Assistant Qin how things were going.

"Chen Boxu and his men are either dead or injured. Chen Boxu's hand was injured and he has been captured."

"How did Pei Jiuyan get the gunshot wound? Who did it?"

Yun Zhaozhao asked.

She could never forget that scene: when she pushed Pei Jiuyan away, there were two bloody holes in his shirt.

She didn't know if these were left by Chen Boxu's people. At the time, her mind was completely blank, but she still remembered to ask Assistant Qin to investigate.

"The results of the bullet inspection are in."

Assistant Qin was just busy with this: "The bullets didn't come from Chen Boxu's side."

If it's not on Chen Bo Xu's side, then it must be on the other side.

Everyone understood the meaning behind those words. Zhou Yueming and Zhou Xiao exchanged a glance, realizing that someone wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Pei Jiuyan.

Who has the ability to bribe special forces members? Today's rescues are all special forces members.

This is a conspiracy. Chen Boxu is the mastermind, but someone else is trying to take advantage of the chaos and kill Pei Jiuyan.

Considering the recent events, everyone had their own guesses.

Yun Zhaozhao's eyes were icy. She didn't know if Fu Shangluo had done it, and she hoped he hadn't. If he had...

She didn't think about it anymore.

Meanwhile, at the Fu family home, the Fu family had people keeping an eye on everything happening at the hospital. Upon learning that Pei Jiuyan might not survive this time, Fu's father said calmly, "With his personality, he was destined to die young sooner or later."

Mr. Fu was overjoyed, but his joy was short-lived. He received news that Pei Jiuyan's injuries were not caused by Chen Boxu, but by two shots fired by the special forces.

Their family had been locked in a bitter feud with Pei Jiuyan for some time, which was common knowledge in the industry. And now, coincidentally, Pei Jiuyan has run into trouble.

Cold sweat broke out on Mr. Fu's forehead. Was this a trap set for Pei Jiuyan, or for the Fu family?

He quickly went up and called his trusted confidant, asking him to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Seeing his father's caution, Fu Shangluo said, "Dad, Pei Jiuyan definitely won't survive this time. What are you still worried about?"

Mr. Fu suddenly looked at his son: "Did you do this?"

Fu Shangluo quickly replied, "How could I possibly have such an ability?"

Although he didn't know who did it, he guessed that the clerk was involved. He hadn't expected the clerk to actually be so resourceful; he had really underestimated that woman before.

Hearing that it had nothing to do with his son, Mr. Fu was finally relieved.

“Remember, don’t get involved in these things. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. If you want to pursue a career in politics, you need to keep yourself ‘clean’.”

"Someone wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Pei Jiuyan, and they also want to drag our Fu family into this mess."

Mr. Fu began to think things over. The Fu family's journey to where it is today has not been smooth sailing, and they have had quite a few political enemies.

Fu Shangluo knew his father was overthinking things, but he couldn't remind him. He let his father rack his brains trying to figure out who did it, while his own thoughts were already on the hospital.

I heard that Pei Jiuyan was seriously injured. This time, it's impossible that he'll be so lucky to survive.

Just as he was thinking this, Mr. Fu's phone rang again. It was someone he had sent to the hospital calling.

"Hello?"

"...Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Fu looked at his extremely concerned son and said slowly, "Pei Jiuyan's life has been saved for now."

"What?"

Fu Shangluo was shocked. Pei Jiuyan was so badly injured, how could she still be alive?

"He's only been saved temporarily; the doctor said it's still unknown whether he'll wake up."

Although Fu's father felt it was a bit of a pity, it was alright. Besides, no one knew whether Pei Jiuyan would wake up or not, and no one could say it was over until the very end.

Seeing his son's sullen face, he frowned and said, "Try to tone it down, don't let people notice."

Pei Jiuyan's people will definitely investigate this matter. He's not afraid of being implicated, since it has nothing to do with him. However, he should still be careful.

He was relieved that Pei Jiuyan's fate was unknown, and that his men couldn't cause any trouble.

"I heard that Yun Zhaozhao was also injured. I'm reminding you not to do anything foolish again."

Mr. Fu reminded him.

Upon hearing that Yun Zhaozhao was injured, Fu Shangluo was indeed taken aback.

"Dad, don't worry, I won't be as foolish as before."

Yun Zhaozhao is no longer worthy. Besides, what can Yun Zhaozhao do if Pei Jiuyan gets into trouble? So many people are waiting to see Pei Jiuyan get into trouble. Yun Zhaozhao might even beg him for mercy then. Only then will he let Yun Zhaozhao know how wrong she was before.

Fu Shangluo's mind was completely twisted. He was waiting for Yun Zhaozhao to break down, but to his surprise, Yun Zhaozhao was very calm. Even when Dean Zhou told her that there was a high chance that Pei Jiuyan would not wake up and that she should prepare herself, she remained calm.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. But as you said, there is still a glimmer of hope. I believe he will wake up."

Yun Zhaozhao said calmly.

This wasn't the first time Pei Jiuyan had been on the verge of death. Last time, and the time before that... It turned out that she knew all about Pei Jiuyan's several brushes with death.

Her calmness only made them more worried. Zhou Xiao and the others didn't dare to leave, but Yun Zhaozhao said, "You guys go back first, I'll wait a little longer."

Pei Jiuyan was in the intensive care unit, and she couldn't go in even if she wanted to; she could only watch from the outside.

Zhou Xiao was about to say something when Wen Jingyu stopped her, saying, "Then Zhao Zhao, let's go see Xi Xi first."

After what happened to Aunt Chen, they were still worried about the two nannies and wanted to go check on them to put their minds at ease.

"Okay, thank you."

Yun Zhaozhao stood there for a while and said to Assistant Qin, "Besides the Fu family, also investigate Huang Chao."
