In the intensive care unit of a public hospital, a girl is still not out of danger.
An elderly man in a long robe, leaning on a cane, accompanied the girl in the monitoring room.
The girl is Liu Xiang, Chen Wenhao's classmate, and the old man is her grandfather, Liu Wuyue.
The Liu family of Jinling is a large clan with great influence in the local area. The Liu family is located in several villages in the north of the city, and Liu Wuyue is the clan elder of the Liu family.
Seeing his granddaughter still unconscious, Liu Wuyue looked furious. He knew that his granddaughter hadn't fallen into a coma for no reason.
His son, who works in the Huimin community, was recently falsely accused of embezzlement and is under investigation. He is currently in confinement.
His granddaughter was helping out at the orphanage a few days ago when she was in a car accident. He knew that these successive events were not unfounded and must have a reason.
"Dr. Liu, the child's condition isn't very optimistic today." A doctor on rounds approached with several assistants.
"Dr. Li, I beg you, please think of something. The child is still young. If he doesn't wake up, it will be a lifelong problem." Liu Wuyue stood up shakily.
“I know, I will do my best, but Mr. Liu, the little girl’s brain injury is quite serious. Now is a critical time. If she can wake up in three days, it will mean she has woken up.”
Dr. Li sighed and said, "If she doesn't wake up this time, I'm afraid... In short, you should be mentally prepared."
Liu Wuyue nodded, then looked up, tears streaming down his face: "I, Liu Wuyue, believe that I have never done anything wrong in my life. I have a clear conscience before heaven and earth and I have lived up to the expectations of my clan. Why did I have to encounter such a thing?"
"Don't be too sad, Mr. Liu. Just wait and see. Maybe a miracle will happen," Dr. Li comforted him.
He knew in his heart that with such a degree of brain damage, Liu Xiang probably wouldn't wake up, but facing this woman who was over eighty years old, he still couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Liu Wuyue nodded and sat down again. He had hardly left the ward these past few days.
Dr. Li shook his head and left the ward with a group of assistants.
Liu Wuyue sighed and said through gritted teeth, "The Liang family... you are ruthless. Even if it costs me my life, I will fight you to the very end."
Just then, Chen Wenhao walked in with Ye Xingchen. When he saw Liu Wuyue, he quickly said, "Grandpa Liu, I've come to see Xiao Xiang."
"Why are you here again?" Liu Wuyue looked up at Chen Wenhao.
“Grandpa Liu, Xiao Xiang is so badly injured, it’s only right that I, as her classmate, care about her.” Chen Wenhao said, “I didn’t mean anything by it.”
"Alright, kid, I know you mean well." Liu Wuyue sighed, "But don't get too close to Xiao Xiang's affairs, it's not good for you."
As an elder of the clan, the old man was more insightful than anyone else. He knew why his son was being controlled and that his granddaughter had been in a car accident because she had accidentally witnessed something she shouldn't have seen.
He's not letting anyone get involved in this matter, because he's afraid of implicating others.
However, Chen Wenhao was so eager to get involved, running around here every few days, which made Liu Wuyue a little worried about his safety.
"Grandpa Liu, I'm not afraid." Chen Wenhao didn't understand what the old man meant.
“Kid, this isn’t about being scared or not. Remember this: Xiao Xiang and her dad saw something they shouldn’t have seen.” Liu Wuyue bluntly stated, “So they are being targeted now.”
"The other party has too much influence; I can't afford to offend them, and neither can you. I appreciate your kindness, but don't come here unless necessary, or you and your family will be implicated."
"This..." Chen Wenhao was stunned for a moment. He then understood the meaning behind Liu Wuyue's words. He asked with some confusion, "Grandpa Liu, what exactly is going on? Can you explain it more clearly?"
"Kid, stop asking. Asking too much won't do you any good. It's fine for you to come and see Xiao Xiang, but there are some things you shouldn't pry into." Liu Wuyue waved his hand. Chen Wenhao was a good kid, but he couldn't let him get involved.
"It's like this, Mr. Liu. I'm a doctor. Wenhao brought me here to treat this girl," Ye Xingchen said as he stepped forward.
"Seeing a doctor?" Liu Wuyue glanced at Ye Xingchen with some surprise, but seeing how young he was, he didn't take him too seriously.
“Young man, my granddaughter’s injuries are quite serious. Although the doctor didn’t say it explicitly, I know in my heart that these three days are the critical period. If she can pull through, she might wake up; otherwise, she will be bedridden for the rest of her life.”
Liu Wuyue sighed: "Actually, I understand that such a serious injury is unlikely to be fatal. I appreciate your kindness, but there's really no need to worry about it. Thank you."
"What is Old Liu planning to do? Wait until his granddaughter doesn't make it, then send her on her way, and then go after the Liang family to fight to the death?" Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"What did you say?" Liu Wuyue was taken aback and stood up abruptly.
Yes, that's what he planned to do.
The son is under investigation. Although he hasn't been convicted, he will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison. Those people have already confirmed his guilt.
He couldn't bear to see his granddaughter suffer if she didn't make it. He had already decided that if she didn't wake up, he would personally remove the oxygen tube, collect evidence of the Liang family's misdeeds in Huimin Community, and fight the Liang family to the death.
But he didn't expect that Ye Xingchen could see through his thoughts, which really surprised him.
"The old man doesn't want to implicate others, so you don't plan to use such a large group as the Liu clan," Ye Xingchen said. "But have you considered that the other side are ruthless and capable of anything? How can you fight them alone?"
"If I can't fight back, I'll just smash my head against the Liang family's door and die." Liu Wuyue said angrily, "I don't believe there is no justice or reason in this world. The thousands of members of my Liu clan are all people with blood in their veins."
“If I die, this matter will inevitably escalate. If the Liang family has the ability, they can wipe out our entire Liu clan. Otherwise, our Liu clan will fight them to the death.”
"Old man, don't be angry." Ye Xingchen quickly advised, "What you're doing will indeed make it difficult for the Liang family to explain, but such a large family like the Liang family can be easily dealt with by finding a few scapegoats. Your actions will cost you and your granddaughter your lives, but the Liang family won't be seriously harmed. It's simply not worth it."
"Then tell me what to do? I'm an old man, powerless and without influence, relying only on my integrity." Liu Wuyue's expression was angry: "I don't believe there's no place in this world where justice is served."
