Chapter 871 Master Takes Action
He clutched the doctor's hand tightly, his questions incoherent. Mo Lan was afraid that he would delay the doctor's treatment, so she forcefully pulled his hand away.
"Mr. Ruan, calm down first."
Ruan Munan couldn't calm down.
He looked at Xi Jiu with red eyes: "Where are your people? Didn't they go to pick up Master Beilou? Why haven't they arrived yet?!"
Xi Jiu could no longer hear Ruan Munan's voice.
He stood beside Ruan Qi's emergency bed, stiff and pale, like a frozen statue. His eyes, usually cold and rational, were now frighteningly red, and deep within them was a shaky panic and fear.
He just stared at Ruan Qi motionlessly, as if his entire life depended on her. As long as she disappeared, his life would also dissipate.
Seeing that Xi Jiu was already at a loss, Xi Xi answered Ruan Munan for him, "The head of the family has already sent a helicopter over. I believe Mr. Beilou will be here soon..."
Before he could finish his words, hurried and messy footsteps sounded in the hospital corridor.
Nie Beilou, Nie Heng, Ruan Fengmian, Yang Liu, and Ruan Qi's senior brother Xu Xiangyang all rushed over.
"Where's Xiaoqi?" Nie Beilou's face looked very ugly, and his cold eyes swept towards the emergency room.
Xixi quickly replied, "She's about to go into surgery. The doctor said her condition isn't good."
When Yang Liu, who had run all the way into the hospital, heard this, her eyes went dark and her body went limp.
"Xiao Liu!" Ruan Fengmian hurriedly supported her.
Yang Liu had lost her usual bright and elegant demeanor. Her hair was disheveled, her collar askew from running, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked utterly miserable.
But she didn't care about her image at all and grabbed Nie Beilou's hand.
"Mr. Beilou, please save Xiaoqi!"
Nie Beilou brushed her hand away.
"Xiao Qi is my apprentice. I would save him without you telling me. Go and tell the hospital. Nie Heng, Xiang Yang, follow me to the emergency room."
Nie Heng and Xu Xiangyang, who were concerned about Ruan Qi, followed Nie Beilou into the emergency room without even saying hello to anyone else.
Outside the emergency room it was quiet again.
Ruan Fengmian helped Yang Liu onto the bench, raised his head and asked with red eyes: "What happened? Why was Xiao Qi injured?"
The incident happened so quickly that everyone was rushing to the hospital and had no time to find out the details of Ruan Qi's injuries.
As the only two leaders, Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan were both panicked. So until now, no one has figured out what happened to Ruan Qi.
Ruan Fengmian knew that Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan were unreliable now. He turned his head and looked at Mo Lan, who was covered in blood.
"Mo Lan, go ahead."
Mo Lan's hands were shaking.
After hearing Ruan Fengmian's words, she took a deep breath and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Qi was recording a program at the amusement park when she happened to encounter an explosion. The explosion caused a fire, and the roof of the three-story building where Xiao Qi was staying was trapped in the fire. In order to protect a child named Chuan Chuan, she jumped from the building and hit her head."
Mo Lan only said a few words, but everyone present could imagine how dangerous the situation was.
Xi Jiu clenched his teeth tightly and forced himself to calm down from his panic.
He asked Xixi in a hoarse voice: "Where were you at the time? Why didn't you save her?"
Xixi is the strongest of the Xi family's guards. Xi Jiu assigned him to Ruan Qi so that he could protect the young girl.
But now, Ruan Qi was injured so badly!
When Xi Jiu received the news that Ruan Qi had fallen from the building, he felt dizzy. He suppressed the panic in his heart and questioned Xi Xi coldly.
Xixi looked guilty. "At that time, there were explosions all around the small building. Mo Lan and He Ma were blocked by the rubble, so we couldn't save Xiao Qi in the first place. I'm sorry, Patriarch."
Xi Jiu didn't have the heart to blame Xi Xi at this moment. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when the door of the emergency room opened.
A group of doctors and nurses pushed Ruan Qi's bed and came out quickly.
"Xiao Qi!"
Everyone in the Ruan family rushed over, but was pushed away by the nurses.
"Please make way. We need to go into the operating room. Please don't delay the patient's surgery."
When everyone heard this, they immediately made way.
Ruan Munan stopped Nie Beilou, who was walking at the back, and asked anxiously, "Master Beilou, how is Xiaoqi?"
Nie Beilou's hands were covered in blood at this time.
He randomly found a cotton ball with alcohol and wiped it on his hands, then spoke quickly, "The situation is not good. She fell from the third floor and didn't use her internal energy to protect herself, so the back of her head was seriously injured. But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xiaoqi's spiritual consciousness is collapsing. We must stabilize her spiritual consciousness, otherwise even if she wakes up, her mental state will be affected."
Nie Beilou's words were rather euphemistic. To put it bluntly, if Ruan Qi's spiritual sea of consciousness could not be preserved, he would become a fool or a madman.
When Ruan Fengmian and others present heard the result, their faces changed.
After Nie Beilou explained the situation, he hurried to the operating room. In the corridor outside the emergency room, only the Ruan family members were left.
The atmosphere in the corridor was solemn.
Yang Liu slumped down in a chair, tears streaming down her face. "How could this happen? How could Xiao Qi's spiritual consciousness collapse? Wasn't she fine before?"
Yang Liu looked at Xi Jiu with tears in her eyes.
Xi Jiu's face turned pale as he nodded. He said in a hoarse voice, "Master Chu hypnotized Xiao Qi several times, and her mental state has been good. Master Chu said that as long as she doesn't receive any major stimulation, her spiritual consciousness won't deteriorate."
But now, it was just an explosion and a fire, but Ruan Qi's sea of consciousness actually worsened.
There are so many things wrong with this.
Whether it was the sudden explosion or Ruan Qi's fall from the building, it was by no means as simple as it seemed.
For example, Ruan Qi is clearly an ancient martial artist. If she uses her energy to protect her body, she will only suffer minor injuries if she falls from a mere three-story building.
But why was she so badly injured? Why didn't she use her energy to protect herself?
Also, was this explosion really just an accident? Xixi, Molan, and He Ma, the three ancient martial arts masters, were actually blocked outside the blast, and no one had time to rush to Ruan Qi.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Xi Jiu tried to calm himself down, his mind racing.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Where is the child that Xiao Qi saved?"
Mo Lan: "He's getting a full body check-up downstairs, and someone from the program crew is with him."
Xi Jiu immediately turned around and went downstairs to find Chuanchuan.
…
Half an hour later, Xi Jiu and the Ruan family gathered outside the operating room.
The lights in the operating room were always on, and the display screen on the wall clearly showed the current progress of the operation.
"The anesthesia has just ended and the surgery has begun." Ruan Fengmian rubbed his brows and turned to ask Xi Jiu, "What did you ask? How is the child?"
Xi Jiu: "He was just a little frightened. Xiao Qi protected him well and he was not injured. I asked him what happened on the rooftop, and Chuan Chuan said he saw someone."
Everyone looked over immediately.
Ruan Munan: "See someone? Who?"
Xi Jiu shook his head. "I don't know him. Chuanchuan said it was the program's swimming pool lifeguard, but I don't think so. He said Xiao Qi got very emotional when he saw the lifeguard. Then he fell to the ground as if he had been shocked, and kept muttering 'It's not me, it's not me'."
I have something to do today, so I will only update once. Tomorrow will be normal, and the update time will be in the afternoon.
