Zhou Chunhua held her daughter's hand, her palms sweating with nervousness.
She didn't even know how long she had been waiting; every second felt like an eternity.
"Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've done everything we can; the rest is up to him," Gu Yao said.
Although Zhou Chunhua must have felt resentful, that was indeed the case.
When Lao Chen was seriously injured and hospitalized, no one knew how Gu Yao managed to bring in several of the most authoritative professional teams in the country in just two days.
A team of more than 20 people managed to pull Old Chen back from the brink of death.
In the end, they survived, but that was all they could do.
Whether or not he wakes up is up to Old Chen to decide.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was lost in thought, she heard the doctor's question.
What just happened?
Coming to her senses, she quickly recounted what had just happened in detail.
She thought through every word carefully to make sure nothing was missed.
However, after she finished speaking, the two doctors started talking.
After a long pause, one of the doctors turned to her and said, "We just examined him carefully, and he shows no signs of waking up. As doctors, we understand how your family feels."
However, occasional finger twitching is quite common for patients like him. But your frequent visits and conversations with him will definitely benefit him. Don't rush him, give him some time.”
After the eye doctor finished speaking, he left with a look of apology in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhou Chunhua felt lost and guilty.
After all, Old Chen is in this state because of her.
"We must trust the doctor, and even more so, trust him." Gu Yao patted her shoulder.
“But… when I was talking about his son just now, he really…” At this point, Zhou Chunhua’s pupils trembled. Old Chen’s son!
She remembered someone in the group saying that Old Chen had found his son's whereabouts.
"Please take care of Nini for me." She placed her daughter's hand in Gu Yao's hand.
He turned around, took out his phone, opened his contacts, and dialed a number.
That's Sister Huang, the owner of Xiangzailai Noodle Shop.
She got the phone number from Sister Huang when she went to the noodle shop that time.
After a few rings, a friendly voice came from the other end: "Xiao Zhou, Lao Meng and I heard from the news that you found your daughter! We've wanted to call and congratulate you for a while, but considering you have so much to do... we didn't want to bother you."
"Thank you. Sister Huang, I called today to ask about what you said last time about Old Chen finding his son's whereabouts. I'd like to ask if you know anything about his son's current situation?"
"This... Old Chen said he was going to Shatin Tsui to see his son last time, but he hasn't contacted us since. What happened to him? Did something happen to him?" Sister Huang suddenly became anxious.
"Xiao Zhou! Didn't you expose everything about Sha Tin Tsui? Shouldn't Lao Chen be with you? Is he alright?"
Zhou Chunhua glanced at Old Chen on the bed and finally told the truth.
The call was cut off as soon as she finished speaking.
Looking at her phone, which was constantly ringing with a busy tone, Zhou Chunhua silently hung up the phone.
At that moment, she had no time to think about why Sister Huang suddenly hung up on her; her mind was filled with the problem of Old Chen's son.
"Lu Ming!" Zhou Chunhua grabbed Gu Yao's hand: "Can we see Lu Ming as soon as possible? Or let... Ming know the whereabouts of Old Chen's son?"
Gu Yao's expression changed, and he immediately nodded: "Keep an eye on Nini, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
She took Nini's hand, and Gu Yao took out his phone and went to the side.
Watching Gu Yao's retreating figure as he made a phone call, she didn't stop either.
He took out his phone and posted in various group chats: "Does anyone know the whereabouts of Old Chen's son?"
She remembered that during the time when Lao Chen disappeared, news circulated in the group that Lao Chen had found his son.
Unfortunately, no one in more than a dozen groups could answer her question.
The fact that Lao Chen was seriously injured and unconscious was not a secret in the group.
Even on the first day that Yangyang's father and his family arrived, they first went to the hospital to visit Old Chen.
Seeing the silent group messages, Zhou Chunhua became even more anxious.
"Wait here for me, I'm going to see Lu Yao now," Gu Yao's voice rang out.
Once she came to her senses, Zhou Chunhua saw hope again.
She nodded gratefully; each glance back at Yao always brought her peace of mind.
So, after seeing Gu Yao off, she waited for him to return in the hospital room with her two children.
...
Gu Yao managed to get a meeting and saw Lu Ming again.
Gu Yao, with his cold face, showed no emotion. On the contrary, Lu Ming's smile vanished the moment he saw that Gu Yao was alone.
"Where is she?" Lu Ming asked with a gloomy face.
Gu Yao pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I am your lawyer."
Lu Ming pursed his lips.
"I just want to know, is she... alright?"
Looking at Lu Ming in front of him, Gu Yao recalled the stormy night at Lishan.
Looking at Lu Ming again, I felt less disgusted.
"She's doing well. She's in Old Chen's hospital room. I came today specifically to ask you if you know the whereabouts of Old Chen's son?"
After he finished speaking, the rejection on Lu Ming's face slowly disappeared.
He recalled, "When I was running away with him, he mentioned it. It seemed to be said by Wu Hao that his son had been taken away by Wang Lin."
As for where he was taken, Old Chen didn't say. But... I heard that Wang Lin is a scoundrel with peculiar fetishes. However, I didn't tell Old Chen about this.
At that time, as they fled for their lives in the mountains, what they could not afford to lose most was their hope and longing for life.
That's why he didn't tell Lao Chen about it.
After all, in his view, if Wang Lin had really taken him away, he was probably already in grave danger.
He just didn't say it.
Da da da, da da da...
Gu Yao unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.
It stopped after a short while.
He looked at Lu Ming, a subtle glint in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming asked.
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow and recounted what had happened at the hospital that day.
"So what?" Lu Ming asked impatiently.
"You probably guessed it, she's blaming herself for Old Chen's serious injuries and coma while searching for Nini." Gu Yao tapped the table lightly with his finger and slowly said, "She thinks that if she finds the whereabouts of Old Chen's son, Old Chen will wake up."
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Gu Yao.
You mean... you want me to find the answer?
Gu Yao shrugged: "Right now, you do seem more suitable than me. But you'd better think it through. After all, if you don't handle this well, you could end up ruining the rest of your life."
Of course, I won't force you. If you just say you don't want to, then we'll pretend I never mentioned it.
