Chapter 266 Suspense
The hospital corridors were packed with people. Doctors and nurses would occasionally be dazzled by these men and women who, just by looking at them, were clearly not ordinary people. The hospital's top leadership had long ago given an order that the person lying inside must not be allowed to die under any circumstances, and no one dared to slack off.
They all knew that this person had a very powerful background; he was the head of a long-established wealthy family who controlled the economic lifeline of City A.
Inside the medical waste bin, countless doses of medicine—enough to buy half the city's annual salary—had been used. The doctors were still exchanging ideas, discussing how to keep this person alive long before an ordinary person would have already passed away.
This kind of usage is extremely difficult to put into practice in normal times, because very few people have such terrifying economic strength.
The emergency room sign was still lit, and Jiang Ranxing had been looking at it for who knows how long; the night seemed endless.
Compared to her composure, the Fu family members who were actually related by blood had long been restless.
Fu Yuqin cried and cried, but dared not cry out loud, clutching her sleeves tightly to hold back her sobs.
Although Fu Shenyuan didn't notice, his eyes were still bloodshot, a look that was quite alarming.
On the other hand, the older members of the Fu family, such as Fu Hongkai and Xu Hui, were barely noticeable except for the occasional question.
Jiang Ranxing looked at this large family and slowly lowered her eyes.
With a creak—
The emergency room doors finally opened completely. Through the window at the end of the corridor, one could see the sky beginning to brighten. The inky blackness of the sky had finally been diluted into a dark blue, and faint sunlight was beginning to rise.
"Chairman Fu's life has been saved."
The doctor's words seemed to grant everyone a reprieve, and Fu Shenyuan and Fu Yuqin immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, the doctor's next words made them anxious again.
"However, Chairman Fu's condition is still critical. We need to send him to the intensive care unit for observation. Please make sure to have someone stay at the hospital so that we can communicate with him at any time."
Fu Shenyuan immediately glanced at Tan Shen behind him and said seriously, "Hand over the group's affairs to others. You stay at the hospital and keep an eye on things at all times."
"Okay, Mr. Fu, don't worry."
When Fu Shenyuan turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Fu Hongkai's expression, which was strange and even somewhat disappointed.
Fu Shenyuan had no time to pay attention to him at the moment, and quickly asked the doctor, "How is my grandfather's condition?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
In the doctor's office, Fu Shenyuan was invited to sit down, and then he saw the doctor retrieve Fu's old man's electronic medical records from the computer.
“Mr. Fu, look,” the doctor turned the computer screen back and clicked on a folder, “These are the results of the chairman’s every examination. The data shows that the chairman’s cardiopulmonary function has been declining. Occasionally it will rise again, but it will quickly fall below the standard value again. We have been paying close attention to the chairman’s physical condition. All the data indicate that the chairman’s health is not good.”
Fu Shenyuan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been hit hard by a boulder.
Knowing something is one thing, but seeing and hearing it with your own eyes and ears is another.
Fu Shenyuan remained silent for a long time before slowly asking, "How much longer can Grandpa's body hold on?"
The doctor hesitated, trying to find a more appropriate way to put it so that Fu Shenyuan would accept it.
"Doctor, just tell the truth." Fu Shenyuan raised his eyelids to look at him, his gaze frighteningly clear.
"If the situation is bad, he might pass away immediately. Even if he survives this time, he won't last more than six months..."
Fate dealt a heavy blow to Fu Shenyuan. The veins on his hands, gripping the corner of the table, bulged as he silently and forcefully pressed down on the table. The doctor beside him advised, "Mr. Fu, it's all fate. I hope you can try to think more positively. I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate."
Indeed, this is the only way.
After a long time of processing this, Fu Shenyuan looked at the doctor and said, "Just do your best to save Grandpa now. It's good if he can stay alive for one more day. As for the rest of Grandpa's life, don't tell anyone else."
"But the vice president will probably ask about it too. How am I supposed to answer?" the doctor asked. "I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it."
“I know I can’t hide it from you. Don’t give me the exact time. If you ask any more questions, just say it was my instruction.”
Fu Shenyuan stood up, as if he had made up his mind, and walked out of the doctor's office without looking back.
By this time, many people had left the intensive care unit, and everyone was exhausted from the night. Only the dutiful Tan Shen remained at the door.
When Fu Yuqin saw Fu Shenyuan come out, she quickly stepped forward and asked him, "Brother, how is Grandpa? Grandpa is alright, right?"
"Yes," Fu Shenyuan nodded, not wanting to put pressure on her, "It's nothing serious, you can go home once you're fully recovered."
"That's great, Grandpa's alright, that's wonderful, that's wonderful." Fu Yuqin finally breathed a sigh of relief, not noticing Fu Shenyuan's expression as he said this.
Fu Hongkai also came over: "Shen Yuan, is your grandfather alright? We were so worried about him."
"It's alright, Uncle, don't worry too much."
Fu Hongkai paused briefly, then quickly masked his disappointment and put on the same relaxed expression as Fu Yuqin.
Fu Shenyuan saw all the subtle changes in his expression, gave a silent, cold laugh, and said nothing.
Xu Hui chimed in, "Shen Yuan, since that's the case, why don't you go and rest for a while? Your second uncle and I are here. I just saw Ran Xing in the bathroom; she seems a bit unwell and dizzy. You should go and check on her."
Upon hearing that Ranxing was unwell, Fu Shenyuan's eyes flickered for a moment. He didn't even have time to say hello before hurrying towards the restroom.
The hospital's handwashing area is shared by men and women. As soon as Fu Shenyuan walked over, he saw Jiang Ranxing leaning against a handwashing sink, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Ranxing, what's wrong?" Fu Shenyuan walked over, put his arm around her waist and supported her. He saw cold sweat dripping down her pale face, seeping into her temples, and stray hairs sticking to her cheeks, making her look disheveled and messy. From her angle looking down, her usually full and red lips were now pale.
Fu Shenyuan immediately lost his composure again: "Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to see a doctor!"
"No need." Jiang Ranxing stopped Fu Shenyuan from pulling her arm. "It's just low blood sugar, no need to make a fuss. Just go get me something to eat."
Fu Shenyuan was somewhat skeptical of Jiang Ranxing's explanation: "It would be more reassuring to have it checked."
"I already said I don't need it!" Jiang Ranxing struggled for a moment, and it took a lot of strength to say this. Instead, he felt even weaker and more powerless. "If you keep nagging, I might really have to see a doctor."
"Okay, I'll take you to get something to eat."
As Fu Shenyuan spoke, he put his arm around Jiang Ranxing and left the restroom. Seeing Tan Shen at the door of the ICU, he said, "Thank you for continuing to watch over her. Ranxing isn't feeling well, so we're going downstairs for a bit."
Tan Shen nodded: "Don't worry, President Fu, I'm here."
Fu Shenyuan nodded and led Jiang Ranxing into the elevator.
Watching the two leave, Fu Hongkai looked at Xu Hui beside him and asked, "Where's Yuqi? Is she back?"
Xu Hui: "No! You know your daughter, she's throwing a tantrum on a foreign island because you forced her to get married."
"Is this the time to throw a tantrum! Get her back here right now!" Fu Hongkai was furious. "Her grandfather is so sick, and she still won't come back. Does she want everyone to laugh at our family?!"
Xu Hui, dissatisfied, took her phone and walked to the window.
After Xu Hui left, the secretary approached Fu Hongkai: "Vice President, what do we do now?"
Fu Hongkai lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying, "It seems the old man is not going to make it now. We need to hurry up with our affairs. Yuqi also needs to get married as soon as possible. We can't let that Fu Shenyuan benefit from it. Is there any news about the will?"
The secretary replied, "Originally there was no news, but now that the old man is ill, Attorney Zhang has started working on the will, and the lawyer should be here soon."
"Keep a close eye on it. A will is a big deal. We can't fight a battle we're not prepared for."
"Yes, Vice President, we understand!"
