Guo Zhimeng had a heartbeat, but her breathing was getting slower and slower.

The doctor explained from the side: "Fire produces carbon monoxide. When the carbon monoxide concentration in the air is as high as 1.5%, an adult will lose consciousness after taking three or four breaths, and will die after 1-3 minutes of continuous inhalation."

Even adults with intact lung mucosa cannot withstand it for that long, let alone children whose lungs have not yet developed.

“Even if the child is saved, there will be problems in the future.” The doctor told Zhao Chengguang to prepare himself mentally. “Lung damage directly leads to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, and the direct result of brain hypoxia is slow memory and sluggish reaction.”

In other words, Guo Zhimeng will have to rely on professional ventilator care for the rest of her life to avoid "pulmonary fibrosis," and she has no future otherwise.

Unable to study, unable to travel far, faints after walking just a few steps due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain.

What will become of her future?

Similar to cerebral palsy, they will be dependent on others for the rest of their lives.

"Don't say so much, just being alive is good enough." Zhao Chengguang knew what dizziness and nausea felt like, so he couldn't think about it too much. He was also very sleepy. He swayed and took a few steps while holding onto the wall, then sat down next to it.

I shook my head vigorously and opened my eyes to keep them clear.

The operating room lights were on all the time. They were going to inhale some kind of gas to remove particles, repair the mucous membranes, and achieve the same effect as normal breathing.

Lung damage makes even slight breathing painful.

She can't breathe through her nose, and she can't breathe through her mouth either. How much pain must the little girl be in?

Having survived a brush with death, Zhao Chengguang was exhausted, but he dared not sleep.

His eyelids were drooping as if glued shut; he was so sleepy. He stood up and asked Sun Lifang for her phone number.

"Give me Guo Zhimeng's mother's number, I want to talk to her."

He swayed unsteadily, his steps slipping backward as he spoke, insisting that he couldn't go to sleep until he saw the woman come over.

He was too weak to organize the clues and his mind was a mess.

Severely dehydrated, Sun Lifang filled a large plastic cup with water for Zhao Chengguang, who gulped it all down.

Still sleepy, Sun Lifang asked him, "What do you want to do?"

"I already told you I'd be here watching. Your mission is over. You can go home and get some sleep now."

"No." Zhao Chengguang shook his head, which had been hanging down, and said weakly, "My mission is not over."

After handling one call after another, Zhao Chengguang suddenly laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not calling to yell at people."

It's like, "If you're going to be someone's father, shouldn't you at least know to meet their mother?"

Zhao Chengguang told Sun Lifang that he wanted to take Guo Zhimeng home to take care of her.

Businessmen value promises above all else. If you've promised to be someone's father, you must keep your promise and not go back on your word.

"Anyway, I don't have a girlfriend, so nobody cares about me. I have plenty of time to play with Mengmeng."

Despite saying it was for fun, Guo Zhimeng only wakes up for two or three hours a day, her eyes wide open as she looks pitifully at Zhao Chengguang with tears welling up in her eyes.

How can anyone bear to leave?

The situation is even more complicated for Liu Qing. With the family in turmoil, the blame is directly directed at Lu Pingping.

"What have I done wrong to you? Clothes, jewelry, designer bags—I always bring you a gift whenever I go out. It's because I'm a thoughtful sister-in-law, not something you, as your sister-in-law, are entitled to!"

Ultimately, if Lu Pingping hadn't been so petty and argued with her in-laws over a few snacks, locking the door and preventing Liu Baiyang from coming home...

Liu Baiyang wouldn't have gone to his parents' house in the middle of the night to send Guo Zhimeng away.

They should just stay in a peaceful place; this birthday party shouldn't have been held in a hotel at all!

If the event hadn't been held at the hotel, this fire wouldn't have happened!

Liu Qing was very angry, and the consequences were severe.

She told Liu Baiyang directly, "Divorce Lu Pingping, and we can still be siblings. If you don't divorce, I won't interfere in your family's affairs anymore!"

They say they're family, but they all bully my daughter while I'm not around, don't they?

When they were handling matters, they treated me like family, but then turned their backs and kicked my daughter out of the house.

This family really did a great job. Liu Qing's meaning was very clear: "If we don't get a divorce, not only will I not help with the company's affairs, but I will also kick them while they're down."

This was a grudge, and no matter what Liu Baiyang said, it was useless. Liu Qing had the surveillance footage from the living room of their house. "I watched that woman threatening my daughter—"

"Did you see that?" Liu Qing pointed to the video and showed it to Sun Lifang. "The dress she's wearing is Suzhou embroidery, a handmade product. I asked someone to deliver it to her, hoping that she would treat my daughter better in the future."

As a result, they wear my clothes, take my things, and then secretly bully me.

Someone always has to take responsibility. When Liu Qing gets serious, he is stern and impartial, revealing the righteous side of the public security, procuratorate, and judiciary, which is quite frightening.

"Just because the lion isn't angry doesn't mean I'm a sick cat." Liu Qing hadn't made a scene before because she was afraid her brother would be caught in the middle and put in an awkward position.

But to put it bluntly, "It's like I paid money to send my child to kindergarten. I can't just sit back and let the teachers bully my child just because the principal is my brother, can I?"

"You're just asking for money. Even if I didn't pay you, my child lives with his maternal grandmother. What right do you have to go to someone else's house and cause trouble, forcing them to send the child away?"

This makes no sense; Liu Qing found it utterly absurd.

The whole family is afraid of Lu Pingping. Who does she think she is? She's just a commoner who married into the family, and instead of being grateful, she's riding high on her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Earlier, in order to avoid conflicts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the family bought two houses, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do not live together, but are several hundred meters apart.

Later, fearing that his sister-in-law might have some complaints, Liu Qing listened to his brother and gave his sister-in-law a gift, hoping that she wouldn't be angry and make things difficult for the family.

Everything was done perfectly, but I never expected Lu Pingping to cause such a scene.

"Then I can't give her a nice look."

To nip it in the bud, Liu Qing called the Lu family and asked them to take Lu Pingping back home.

Now that things have come to this point, someone must take responsibility.

The first one to be affected is Lu Pingping. She must get a divorce. She has to give back what she took from me, and she will make her pay back little by little what she took from me.

In his rage, Liu Qing was beyond anyone's control, especially since "Lu Pingping's brother and sister-in-law got their good jobs thanks to Liu Qing."

Liu Qing had never cared about these things before, and more importantly, her brother wouldn't let her care either.

“He’s clinging to his wife’s pitiful self-esteem, forbidding me from saying anything, not even mentioning it.”

Why can't we mention it?

I used my connections to get this out, and now I'm not allowed to let Lu Pingping know?

Now, thanks to Guo Zhimeng's matter, Liu Qing can finally settle accounts properly.

"Aren't you bullying me? It's like a sister-in-law bullying her younger sister—"

Then I'll send you back so you can experience what it's like for a sister-in-law to be "whipped" by her brother and sister-in-law.

An eye for an eye; Lu Pingping made her own mistakes, and she should have to bear the consequences.

“I can make her rise, and I can destroy her.” Liu Qing told Sun Lifang, “Don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for my brother.”

Isn't it just playing mind games?

Who doesn't know how?

"Lu Pingping would never dare to come back and cause trouble again."

"I will make her obediently get a divorce."
