Zhu Fanfan, wh...
Zhu Fanfan was only thinking about seeing her grandmother, ignoring that there were almost no people on the road. When she arrived at her grandmother's office, there was no one there either. When she came out again, she still couldn't see anyone. Something was wrong. Could something have happened at the hospital?
Just then, someone saw Zhu Fanfan and rushed over, anxiously pulling her away: "Hurry up and go see your grandma, or it will be too late."
Zhu Fanfan's mind went blank as she followed the person. She quickly recovered and asked in a trembling voice, "Aunt Jasmine, what happened to my grandma?"
As Jasmine pulled Zhu Fanfan along, she said, "I'm not entirely sure either. It seems that Vice President Liu was attacked as soon as he left the hospital. He was seen being rushed to the emergency room, and I heard his condition was bad. Chief Zhu also came here, right in front of the operating room. I heard from others that you were back, so I knew you would come here and rushed over."
Zhu Fanfan followed Jasmine to the operating room door, where her grandfather was already waiting, but his face was completely numb. An old leader whom she had visited during the Spring Festival was by her side, looking serious and saying nothing. There were also many familiar faces waiting outside.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Grandpa, what happened to Grandma? How could she have been attacked? Who did it?"
Hearing the sound, Zhu Jiabao looked up for a while, his expression still blank, not reacting. Zhu Fanfan was almost crying, shaking Zhu Jiabao: "Grandpa, what happened to Grandma? We talked on the phone the night before last, and she was fine. The hospital is a serious place. She has worked here for almost twenty years, it's like her own home. How could something happen to her in her own home?"
Zhu Jiabao came to his senses, but tears kept flowing, and he couldn't say a word. Fanfan was back; he wasn't alone anymore.
The older leader next to him said, "Fanfan, calm down. Your grandma is still being treated. Let's wait for the results. Because your grandma was tricked into leaving the hospital, she was attacked by criminals. We've already gone to arrest them, and we'll bring them to justice soon. Let's wait outside together for news about your grandma, okay?"
He must make sure Comrade Yumin is safe and sound, otherwise who knows what that bastard Zhu Jiabao might do. And Zhu Fanfan, he heard from an old friend that Comrade Yumin dotes on her very much, and she is also very dependent on Comrade Yumin. If something really happens to Comrade Yumin, he is afraid that the two of them will cause trouble as well. A child who can tame a wild horse at the age of five, especially one from the Zhu family, he dares not underestimate.
Zhu Fanfan calmed down and her mind started working again, but unfortunately, her tendency to cry uncontrollably made her tears flow. She tried to ask in a calm tone, "Can someone tell me what's going on? Although the hospital doesn't have a rule that doctors have to stay in the hospital, Grandma has a lot of things to do and simply can't find the time to go out, especially the hospital gate. Someone must have come to call her. Who came to call her out?"
The old leader fell silent: "The matter is still under investigation. Once we catch the person, we will make them talk. Fanfan, wait a moment."
The operating room door opened, and Xu Jingqian and Ma Yushu came out, saying in a somber tone, "Let's go see them one last time!"
Before Zhu Fanfan could even process what was happening, she stumbled and ran inside. Her grandmother was already covered with a swaddling cloth, except for her head. Zhu Fanfan knew this meant the final outcome: her grandmother was beyond saving.
Now that her grandmother's eyes were closed, Zhu Fanfan took a deep breath, and then another, trying to calm herself down. She checked her grandmother's pulse and could feel a faint beat with her spiritual power. As long as there was a sliver of hope, she couldn't give up. She took out all the pills she could use.
Xu Jingqian couldn't help but exclaim, "Fanfan, your grandma has no heartbeat."
Zhu Fanfan didn't believe it: "There must still be hope. I can feel Grandma's pulse. As long as I give her more pills, Grandma will be fine."
She took out the gold needles she always carried with her. This set of gold needles was passed down to her by her great-grandfather before his death, which meant that she had fully mastered the true teachings.
Ma Yushu couldn't hold back any longer: "Fanfan, you have to trust our diagnosis. You should say goodbye to your grandmother properly!"
Both he and Jingqian were trained by their master. They used all kinds of instruments and pulse diagnosis, so there was no way they could make a mistake. It was fine for her to give them acupuncture, but they were afraid that Fanfan would not be able to accept it and would get stuck on it. They had watched this child grow up, and he believed that he could judge people well. This child was sometimes terribly stubborn and had a very awkward personality.
Xu Jingqian also became anxious: "Brother-in-law, please persuade Fanfan. There are too many taboos associated with acupuncture, especially the Xu family's acupuncture needles, which are made of special materials. A single acupuncture session can severely damage one's vital energy, and Fanfan may suffer a backlash."
His father had said before that the Xu family's golden needles could not be used easily, as they would require exchanging one's own fortune. Therefore, he never used golden needles to treat illnesses, and he warned Fanfan not to use them lightly before he died.
Zhu Jiabao said nothing. If there was a way to help his wife recover, even if she could only say one word to him, he would die without regrets. Fanfan felt the same way; as long as she could say one word to her grandmother, she would have no regrets.
One needle after another was inserted into Liu Yumin's body. After inserting sixty needles, Zhu Fanfan felt her mental energy was exhausted. She did not expect that it would take so long to insert a needle just by using her mental energy. She still insisted on inserting needles. After inserting a few more needles, her hand was suddenly grabbed. Because her mental energy was consumed too quickly, she did not have the strength to shake off the hand that was holding her.
Xu Jingqian practically roared, "Zhu Fanfan, are you out of your mind? In your grandmother's heart, your life is more important than hers. You've ruined the Xu family's acupuncture techniques like this? Zhu Fanfan, wake up! Your grandmother is dead. She has no heartbeat."
Zhu Jiabao pulled Xu Jingqian away: "Fanfan just wanted to try and see if he could save his grandmother."
Xu Jingqian shouted angrily, "Do you know what kind of acupuncture technique this is? It's the Xu family's forbidden Time Conversion Array, a life for a life. If my sister survives, Fanfan will die. My sister was shot in the chest. Even if she survives, she won't live long. Don't forget, she has a brain tumor."
Zhu Jiabao simply looked at Zhu Fanfan and asked, "Is it true?"
Zhu Fanfan remained silent. This was recorded in the Xu family's medical manual. She couldn't lose her grandmother. Her grandmother was the only one who had genuinely doted on and protected her all these years, supporting her no matter what she did and never criticizing her for anything she did wrong. She wanted her grandmother to live, even if it meant giving up her own life. Her grandmother's life was more important than her own.
Zhu Jiabao simply said to Fanfan, "Fanfan, you are my only family."
He lost his son and wife in his old age, and his only remaining relative is his granddaughter. He is afraid that if something happens to his granddaughter, he will not be able to hold on and will follow her.
Zhu Fanfan understood, but because she understood, she was helpless. Then she heard someone exclaim, "Vice President Liu is crying!"
