Chapter 104: Xie Li cannot die, so let Shen Jin die?
When this thought popped into Yan Yu's mind, he was struck dumb, as if by lightning, frozen in place like a block of wood, his eyes glazed over, his expression tense.
He never imagined that Shen Jin's blood would have such a use, and he never imagined that one day, his rare blood type would become Xie Li's only lifeline when he was facing a life-or-death situation...
But Shen Jin is still a patient, lying in the hospital, and Xie Li is practically his enemy. Would he be willing to donate blood for him? Besides, Shen Jin's health isn't good either. What would happen to him after he donated blood?
These questions surfaced in Yan Yu's mind one after another, but he couldn't find a solution. He only knew that if he didn't hurry, Xie Li would die, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Sir...sir?" The doctor beside him frowned slightly, noticing his unusual condition. Worried that he might be agitated by the injured person's situation and wanting to prevent any complications, he quickly supported him. "Sir, I think you should rest for a while first, and then..."
He thought that no matter how anxious he was now, it was too late. After all, life and death were preordained, time was of the essence, and it was probably too late...
But such words would be too cruel for the injured person's family. Therefore, he could only swallow his words and look at him with some worry.
"I'm fine..." Yan Yu bit his tongue, the pain bringing him back to his senses. He took a deep breath and looked at the doctor beside him, "Where's Xie Cheng? What did he say? Hasn't he found anyone to donate blood yet?"
"I'm sorry, not yet," the doctor told him truthfully. "Because of this plane crash, there are too many injured people, and the injuries are too severe. They were not discovered in time, and many have lost too much blood and need blood transfusions."
The doctor paused, glanced at Xie Li on the operating table, and said, "Young Master Xie's condition is serious, and it was discovered relatively late. His situation is not optimistic. You should... be prepared."
The doctor's words stabbed Yan Yu hard in the heart, causing a sharp, piercing pain. He thought with a touch of self-mockery: Be mentally prepared? What does it mean to be mentally prepared? Does it mean to wait for the other person to die with the best possible mindset?
He had witnessed the helplessness of seeing the person he knew best die in front of him. The only thing he could clearly see was the woman's thin, bloodless, and sunken face, like a beautiful, fragrant flower that had withered and faded...
He didn't have time to say a word to her, nor was he able to see her one last time. She closed her eyes so cruelly, a white cloth covering her face, separating them into two different worlds.
Life and death, separation.
"Could Xie Li be like this now?" Yan Yu thought absentmindedly, his gaze falling on Xie Li on the operating table, the sight of his battered body deeply piercing his eyes.
Yan Yu could sense the deathly stillness emanating from Xie Li, as if he were truly about to leave this world and would never return...
"No! Absolutely not!" Yan Yu shook his head violently, his eyes bloodshot. The image of his mother's death kept flashing through his mind, and when he looked at Xie Li lying on the operating table now, the images seemed to overlap.
Last time, he was powerless to watch his mother leave him, and this time he absolutely... absolutely refused to watch someone he had known for over a decade die in front of him like that!
"There's a way! There's a way! There's definitely a way!" Yan Yu's tone suddenly became very firm. All the worries he had just had disappeared in that instant, and only one clear thought remained in his mind—Xie Li absolutely cannot die!
"Sir...Sir—" The doctor, who was suddenly grabbed by the hand and stared at with bloodshot eyes, was inexplicably startled. After all, it is not surprising that a person might do something crazy when they are stimulated.
So he quickly nodded, trying to calm him down, saying, "Yes, yes, there will be a way! Calm down! Let's go out for a bit now—"
Yan Yu took a deep breath, knowing that his emotions had been too turbulent, and his voice had become quite hoarse, but his words were not slurred at all: "I...I know someone who can give him a blood transfusion!"
"What?" The doctor was stunned, and other doctors who were handling other matters in the operating room also froze, their voices becoming agitated. "Where is he? This is a matter of life and death! Every minute counts! If there really is someone willing to donate blood, then we shouldn't waste time!"
"He's in the hospital..." Yan Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, temporarily ignoring the guilt in his heart, letting it stab at him like a knife, "He's in the hospital, I'll take you there to find him..."
Yan Yu thought that in this life-or-death moment, Shen Jin would help Xie Li... Even though he was very sad or scared, he was so innocent that he couldn't cruelly watch someone die in front of him...
But how will Chen Jin view him in the future? Will she be disappointed in him? Will she think he's selfish? And will she hate him even more? Will she still forgive him?
Yan Yu didn't know, and he dared not think about it. He only knew that if he didn't do this now, Xie Li would die. He had no other choice; he had no other options left...
With a jumble of thoughts and a feeling of unease, he unknowingly arrived in front of Chen Jin's ward, but for some reason, he didn't have the courage to push open the door.
"President Yan?" the doctor who came with him called out. They recognized Yan Yu, probably because they had seen him in the news many times, and knew that he had a good relationship with the young master of the Xie family.
"I'll go in and talk to him, it'll be over in a minute." Yan Yu gritted his teeth, keeping everyone else out, and mentally preparing himself, finding various reasons and excuses. Only then would he have the courage to push open that door—
Yan Yu pushed open the door, clenched his fists, and mentally considered all sorts of possible reactions from Shen Jin. Then he took a deep breath and called out, "Shen Jin..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yu's face turned deathly pale, his pupils contracted sharply, and he stared intently at the pale hospital bed, his breath catching in his throat for a long moment—the bed was empty! There was no sign of Shen Jin anywhere!
The person who had just fallen asleep while receiving an IV drip a few minutes ago has vanished! How is this possible?!
Yan Yu was on the verge of a breakdown. He staggered a few steps inside, quickly glanced around the room, and raised his voice to call out, "Chen Jin? Chen Jin! Chen Jin! Where are you? Stop messing around! Come out right now!"
The ward was empty, no one responded to him, and there was nowhere to hide within sight. So Yan Yu hurriedly ran over and opened the bathroom door, which was also empty.
Only then did Yan Yu realize that the IV drip tubes on the hospital bed were still there, but the person who needed the drip was gone. He had wiped the tubes off himself and escaped from the ward.
Yan Yu's heart sank instantly, as if a huge mountain had suddenly crashed down on his chest, almost crushing him to death, leaving him suffocating.
He refused to believe it. Just a short while ago, Shen Jin was asleep and sick, listless. How could he have wiped away the syringe and run away when he left?!
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Yan Yu shook his head violently. He felt like he was being driven crazy. He punched the wall next to him, and the pain brought him back to his senses.
"Shen Jin! Shen Jin! Where are you? Come out here!" Yan Yu shouted loudly, and quickly went to the window to look around, but still could not find his shadow.
The commotion inside startled the doctor outside. Everyone quickly pushed open the door and came in, only to find a nearly insane CEO Yan and an empty hospital bed. In that instant, they seemed to understand something.
A doctor asked uncertainly, "The patient...has left?"
This is a very serious issue, because if the blood donor has already left the hospital, then the hope of saving Xie Li's life through a blood transfusion is gone.
Yan Yu knew this better than anyone else, so he didn't have time to break down. He could only try to stay calm. His eyes were bloodshot, making him look somewhat terrifying, and his voice trembled slightly: "He was still there when I left! So he shouldn't have gone far. He's still in the hospital!"
"Find him now! We'll definitely find him!" Yan Yu said with absolute certainty. "Notify them to check the security footage! We'll find him! He definitely hasn't gone far!"
At this moment, he was like a cold-blooded and ruthless person, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.
Even Yan Yu himself couldn't tell whether he was so eager to find Shen Jin because he was worried that he would run away and disappear again, or because he was worried that if he ran away, Xie Li would lose his lifeline.
Or perhaps, both.
"Okay, okay!" a doctor next to him said, immediately took out his phone from his pocket, quickly dialed a number, told the other party the ward number and the situation, and asked them to quickly switch to the surveillance room for investigation.
Shortly after, the results came from the monitoring room.
The doctor pointed to the left corridor and said, "The patient went out this way! And turned onto another path, where there's a garden. Patients usually go for a walk there when they're bored! They should still be there!"
After learning where Shen Jin might be, another doctor hurriedly interjected, "If the other person's blood type matches, then we need to find him immediately! We really can't delay any longer!"
"I know! I'm going to find him right now!" Yan Yu gritted his teeth, ignoring their nagging, and hurriedly slammed the door shut, rushing off in the direction indicated by the monitoring room.
He ran through the corridor where Chen Jin had escaped, and then turned into a winding path. Soon he saw the garden, which was beautiful and crowded with patients and their families.
As Yan Yu chased after Xie Li out of the ward, his mind was a jumble of thoughts. What was he doing? Was he trying to save Xie Li or to force Chen Jin into a corner?
He is still a patient.
Yan Yu took a few breaths, his gaze darting across the garden, trying to find Shen Jin in the crowd, but he couldn't see that figure. He wondered if Shen Jin had already left, or if... he was hiding and watching him from the shadows.
"Is this even possible?" Yan Yu wondered to himself, somewhat bewildered, but no one could give him an answer.
Not long ago, when Yan Yu came out of the ward to answer the phone, Shen Jin was still a light sleeper, so he was woken up by the loud noise of Yan Yu and Yan Cheng arguing. In his drowsy state, he seemed to hear their conversation.
For some reason, Shen Jin felt scared. He was already somewhat afraid of Yan Yu, and now that he heard him mention Xie Li, he instinctively felt that danger was coming.
At the same time, he was curious about what had happened, but unfortunately, he didn't understand many things. However, he was inside the door and saw Yan Yu's anxious expression through the crack. He saw Yan Yu run to the other side without hesitation...
"Xie Li is over there, Xie Li is right there, so he ran over without hesitation." This was the thought in Shen Jin's mind, like an invisible thorn that suddenly pierced his heart, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The scene seemed familiar... It was as if he had done the same thing before, in the hospital, running towards Xie Li without hesitation, leaving him alone behind.
Shen Jin thought to himself, "I don't like hospitals, I'm afraid of hospitals, but you didn't even stay with me for a moment..."
He felt sad and upset, but there was nothing he could do. At the same time, he felt that this was a good thing. He could choose to escape again, but the hospital was too big and the roads were too complicated. He had no idea where to go.
Seeing that there were many people in the garden, he ran over, but then got lost. He wandered around and around, not knowing which way to go. At the same time, he felt dizzy and was in a very bad state, as if he might fall down at any moment.
"No, no, I can't sleep..." Shen Jin shook his head violently, leaning against a tree and catching his breath. "I have to get out of here quickly. I can start sleeping after I leave... It's very dangerous here."
Although he knew it was dangerous and that he needed to escape quickly, he was too weak due to a fever. Suddenly, everything went black, and he staggered forward and fell.
An elderly woman passing by was startled and quickly caught him as he nearly fainted. She asked him anxiously, "Hey, young man, are you alright? Oh dear! You're burning up! You need to see a doctor!"
Shen Jin was barely conscious. He stood up unsteadily, managed a weak smile on his pale face, and whispered, "It's alright... thank you..."
He pushed away the old lady's support, and walked forward unsteadily with his straight legs, supporting his head with one hand, wanting only to leave this place as soon as possible, to leave the place where Yan Yu and Xie Li were not.
But often, it seems like fate is playing tricks on him, and none of his plans have ever come true.
Suddenly, a voice came from an unknown direction: "Sunken Ashes!"
Chen Jin, who was staggering along, was startled. His face turned pale, and he felt like he was being pricked by needles. Ignoring his head, which felt hot and about to explode, he took a long, straight step and ran away as fast as he could!
However, Yan Yu still spotted him and decisively chased after him from behind, urgently saying, "Shen Jin! Don't go!"
Shen Jin ignored his words and ran around aimlessly without looking back, not caring about anything else. He just wanted to escape Yan Yu's area, even though his legs were almost too tired to run and his head was throbbing.
Seeing that Yan Yu was about to catch up with him, Shen Jin was so anxious that he almost cried. His face was pale, and his voice was hoarse and choked with sobs: "Don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer..."
Yan Yu felt a sharp pain in his chest, quickly took a few breaths, and urged him, "Listen to me! Stop it!"
"I don't want to!" Shen Jin shouted urgently, running into a grassy path. He originally wanted to hide in the bushes so that Yan Yu couldn't catch him, but he was already a patient and didn't have any extra strength. He staggered and fainted on the ground.
Before he fainted, only one thought remained in Shen Jin's mind: It's over.
"Shen Jin!" Yan Yu rushed over and quickly picked up the person who had fainted on the ground. He hurriedly touched his forehead and, after confirming that he did not have any other wounds, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He quickly carried the person back, and should have rushed back to his ward so he could continue his IV drip. However, after taking a few steps, a thought popped into Yan Yu's mind: Xie Li was about to die.
Yes, if we don't hurry, if we keep dragging this out, Xie Li will die. Even if we find a blood type that matches, it will be too late...
At the same time, another voice was refuting him: Xie Li cannot die, so should Shen Jin die instead?
Yan Yu held Shen Jin's thin and weak body in his arms, took a weary breath, gritted his teeth, and finally resolutely closed his eyes, squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth: "I'm sorry..."
He felt sorry for Shen Jin, but this could save someone. As long as Shen Jin takes good care of his health, he should recover...
Having made up his mind, Yan Yu no longer hesitated and said to the doctor, "Doctor! Quick! Get a blood test first!"
They placed Shen Jin on the hospital bed, gave him a blood transfusion for testing, and then reminded Yan Yu, "He's currently in a coma. Without his permission and his signature, you cannot act without authorization..."
"I know!" Yan Yu interrupted the doctor abruptly, his eyes bloodshot. "I'm his family member. Sign here! I'll vouch for him! So stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!"
The doctor was about to say something, but was frightened by Yan Yu's scarlet and determined gaze. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend this person, and the same was true for the young master of the Xie family lying in the hospital bed.
Therefore, no one said anything more and everyone was busy with their own work.
A moment later, the doctor announced with delight, "The test results are completely consistent! Blood transfusion is possible!"
Yan Yu's tense heart finally relaxed a little. He took a few breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then slowly pushed Shen Jin, who was lying on the ice bed, into the operating room where Xie Li was.
Holding a report, the doctor said, "Mr. Yan, let's double-check. Young Master Xie has lost a lot of blood. If we need to transfuse blood from him, it will require a lot, and his condition might not be good then... Are you sure you want to continue?"
Yan Yu's face was deathly pale. He glanced at Xie Li, who was barely breathing on the operating table, and then at Shen Jin, who had fainted from illness. He took a difficult breath and asked, "Will...will his life be in danger?"
The doctor said solemnly, "It's not that bad. We wouldn't do anything risky, but all in all, there are still risks. This is a guarantee... We won't be responsible for the consequences. Please take a look and sign it."
Yan Yu glanced quickly at the guarantee, finally signed his name, handed it back to the doctor, closed his eyes, and steeled his resolve: "Alright, begin the blood transfusion..."
