Neither side was easy to deal with, and after a contest, neither gained the upper hand.
Gu Yibei narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.
He gave a forced smile and slowly began, "I don't know whether to call him Mr. Eddie or Mr. Warrens..."
Gu Yibei was silenced before he could finish speaking, or more accurately, he was interrupted by Ji Zhinan's phone.
Her phone vibrated. After glancing at the caller ID, Ji Zhinan paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Yibei.
Gu Yibei's eyes also flashed.
Qin Yu.
What is he making the phone call for?
Ji Zhinan pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear.
"Dr. Qin?"
It was very noisy and chaotic on Qin Yu's side, and Ji Zhinan heard him giving instructions.
Upon hearing Ji Zhinan's voice, Qin Yu quickly asked, "Zhinan?"
"I am here."
"Where are you now?"
"I'm in H City," Ji Zhinan replied, then asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Yu's tone was grave: "Your grandfather has had an accident. He's been brought to my hospital, and I'm taking the best neurosurgeon in our hospital to the emergency room immediately..."
"Snap!"
Hearing the sound of something falling to the ground, Qin Yu quickly called out, "Zhi Nan? Zhi Nan, are you still listening?"
"..."
Ji Zhinan seemed to have been beaten senseless, not even noticing that his phone had fallen to the ground.
Eddie didn't know what was wrong with her, but her appearance was really worrying.
"Zhinan?"
Ji Zhinan suddenly came to his senses, turned around and ran away.
Gu Yibei picked up Ji Zhinan's phone and held it to his ear, his tone slightly somber: "What did you say to Nannan?"
Qin Yu explained the old man's condition to Gu Yibei, whose expression changed. Gu Yibei grabbed his phone and strode out to catch up with him.
……………
At the entrance of the emergency room—
The old man was taken in an hour ago and hasn't come out yet.
The old man had suffered severe blood loss, especially from a brain injury. He was already unconscious when he arrived at the hospital. The doctors and nurses were so anxious that they almost lost their composure, unsure if they could save his life.
Ji Pengfei sat on a chair outside the operating room, head down, silent.
Madam Ji and Aunt Min both disliked Old Master Ji, but at this moment they had to pretend. Neither of them noticed that Ji Zhixia was trembling with fear.
The Mu family of three rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
"Xiaxia!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ji Zhixia looked up abruptly, her eyes immediately welling up with tears: "Brother Zeyu!"
She rushed into Mu Zeyu's arms as if she had seen a savior, seeking comfort.
Mu Zeyu looked extremely worried and asked with concern, "How is Grandpa?"
"They've been inside for a long time, but they haven't come out yet."
Behind them, Mu Daxiang and Madam Mu locked eyes, exchanging a coded message that only they could understand.
I heard that Old Master Ji fell from the building and was covered in blood. He might not make it...
Keep in mind that the old man still owns 20% of the shares, and Ji Zhixia is the only one among the younger generation of the Ji family who holds that stake.
Since Ji Zhixia is now the prospective daughter-in-law of the Mu family, the Mu family naturally has to help Ji Zhixia acquire the shares.
Madam Mu's eyes darted around, and she immediately put on an expression of extreme anxiety.
"Xiuqin, Pengfei, what exactly happened? Daxiang and I were terrified when we received this news..."
She stepped forward, took Madam Ji's hand, and patted it reassuringly: "Don't worry, your old man is a lucky man, he'll be alright..."
