Xiao Wujie's surgery was not performed at the manor, but at the Chu family's private hospital.
Not long after the bombing of the Chu family's private hospital, everything had returned to normal when I returned.
The hospital is vast, with towering medical buildings. The wind blows through the buildings without making a sound, creating an eerie silence and emptiness.
A week ago, the hospital stopped admitting all patients, and all staff went home to wait for orders. Apart from essential security personnel, the hospital was basically deserted.
But this emptiness and silence has been broken today.
A fleet of luxury cars drove in in an orderly fashion. Bodyguards in black got out of the cars and surged to every corner like a tide, with a group of medical staff in white coats crowding in the middle as they entered the medical building.
6 floors.
This floor was specially built by Chu Liyue for Xiao Wujie's surgery. It was equipped with advanced medical cabins and cutting-edge medical equipment. It had never been used before and was only used for Xiao Wujie's surgery.
Unlike the other floors which are made of concrete, the entire sixth floor is constructed of high-grade metal, capable of withstanding artillery bombardment, fire attacks, flooding, and electric shocks. It uses a separate water and electricity system, forming its own independent world. Even if the entire building collapses, it will not be affected in its operation.
The sterile cabin was crowded with people, including the people from the manor, the Chu family, and the Xiao family who had come from afar.
On the medical bed, Xiao Wujie had already changed into a hospital gown. His usual elegant attire concealed his true appearance, but now he was only wearing a thin hospital gown, and his frail body below was heartbreaking.
At the bedside, Xiao Qianshan, Xiao Yuxuan, and Xiao Linzui looked at Xiao Wujie, who was gravely ill and weak, and their eyes couldn't help but redden.
Even though they had received advance notice, seeing their long-lost child, with whom they shared blood ties, suffering from illness in this state was heartbreaking, even for someone as strong-willed as them.
Not only Xiao Wujie, but also Xiao Shuihan and Luo Yilan beside him made them feel so uncomfortable that their throats were choked and they couldn't speak.
The two looked haggard, especially Xiao Shuihan, who had visibly lost weight and had gray hairs growing at his temples, making him look ten years older.
As parents, watching your children be stripped of their world, plunged into darkness, tormented by illness, and suffer unbearable pain is like having your heart ripped out piece by piece with a knife.
The feeling of helplessness and despair, in particular, nearly drove them mad.
At this moment, he and Luo Yilan tightly enveloped one of Xiao Wujie's hands in their palms, bent down and pressed their foreheads against Xiao Wujie's closed eyes, and then reached out to hug him.
Feeling the bony, sharp touch of his subordinate, Xiao Shuihan felt an uncontrollable surge of moisture welling up in his eyes. He clenched his teeth so hard they almost broke, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face. He suddenly covered his eyes and stood up to prevent the tears from splashing onto Xiao Wujie's clothes.
Luo Yilan's eyes were red, she opened her arms and hugged him, holding his head against her shoulder, letting her hot tears soak her clothes.
Xiao Qianshan gripped his cane, his withered fingers clenching tightly. He turned his face slightly away, unable to bear watching any longer.
The sterile chamber door opened, and Ye Jinyu, dressed in a sterile suit, was followed by Lin Qingyi.
His gaze swept over everyone. Luo Yilan led Xiao Shuihan to turn to the side, and Xiao Shuihan subconsciously reached out to grab the armrest of the hospital bed.
Luo Yilan grasped his hand. His eyes were bloodshot. He met Luo Yilan's gaze, his eyes trembling. After a moment, he released his grip, buried his head in Luo Yilan's shoulder, and his voice was hoarse and trembling:
"Ah Lan, our son will be alright, right?"
Luo Yilan gently stroked the back of his head with her slender hand, closed her eyes, nodded, and uttered a single word in a deep voice: "Yes."
Definitely.
Ye Jinyu turned his gaze to Chu Liyue. Once Xiao Wujie entered the sterile ward, he would not come out again. Three days later, he would take him directly into the operating room to begin the surgery.
Chu Liyue narrowed her cold eyes slightly, her slender hands clenched tightly, and she stepped to the bedside. Her gaze was fixed on Xiao Wujie's face. She leaned down, hugged him, her throat tightened, and buried her face in his neck, taking a deep breath.
Then she looked up, cupped Xiao Wujie's face in her hands, and planted a kiss on his forehead.
After the kiss, he immediately stood up, coldly shifting his gaze from Xiao Wujie's face and giving Ye Jinyu a meaningful look.
The sound of the medical bed wheels was exceptionally clear. With a "beep," the sterile cabin door closed, blocking all view.
Her heart was pounding faster than ever before.

As night fell, Xiao Qianshan leaned on his cane, with the five-meter-tall Commander No. 79 following honestly behind him. They walked straight up to the rooftop.
The commander robot's massive steel finger touched its chest, a mechanical sound rang out, and the armor covering its chest opened, revealing a silver sphere floating out.
The crisp sound of high heels rang out. Xiao Qianshan turned around and saw Chu Liyue with her hands in her trench coat pockets, her hair fluttering, and her expression aloof.
She gazed at the small silver sphere and asked, "Is this your simulated magnetic field blocking device?"
Xiao Qianshan nodded slightly: "Your item is extremely well-made. I can't replicate too many of them at once, so I can only make this one."
"I modified and upgraded the original one, increasing its range and barrier strength to 1.5 times. It can block the small area of the surgical pod, which can completely exhaust Aisie Hall's magic."
"This replica device is 1.2 times more powerful than the original. Even if it covers the entire hospital, the energy that Aisie Hall can mobilize will be very limited."
As Chu Liyue nodded slightly, the steel giant hand of Robot Commander No. 79 lifted the silver magnetic field blocking device.
The small ball floated into the air, humming and spinning, and a pale blue light curtain slowly extended out, covering the entire hospital in the blink of an eye.
This spectacular scene drew gasps from the bodyguards stationed below, but their attention immediately returned to normal when they saw Xiao Qianshan and Chu Liyue standing on the edge of the rooftop.
