"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and Li Ying sat up abruptly, her clothes soaked through. She turned on the bedside lamp, got out of bed, put on her clothes, and walked out of the bedroom to the backyard. Hearing the noise, the black dog started circling its kennel, whimpering and making some noise.
Li Ying stood there for a while before turning around and going back to her room.
Ye Jingchi will be fine. He's so capable, he won't make any mistakes.
Early in the morning, Lu Qingwan rushed over and grabbed Li Ying, saying, "Sister Yingying, something's happened, you have to come with me quickly."
Li Ying followed Lu Qingwan to the Tian family's steamed bun shop, only to learn that Tian Bingbing had been murdered and the shop was closed.
If Tian Li wants to inherit the family business, he has no choice but to give up his beloved medicine.
"Let's go to the police station."
Li Ying realized something and pulled Lu Qingwan to the police station.
Tong Danian looked ashamed: "I still haven't found Brother Chi."
Ye Wenchi's body has been found; he was shot between the eyebrows. His body has been sent to the crematorium. However, Ye Jingchi has not been found. Ye Jingchi must have been injured at the time.
Li Ying slowly sat down and listened quietly as Tong Danian finished speaking.
Tong Danian took out the passbook and handed it to Li Ying.
"This is what Brother Chi asked me to give you before. I didn't have time, but I felt that as long as this passbook was in your possession, Brother Chi would be safe."
Li Ying took the passbook without saying much, stood up, but almost fell.
Lu Qingwan supported Li Ying, feeling very sorry for her.
Ye Jingchi had only been back for a few days, and now he's completely disappeared.
"I'm fine."
Li Ying fainted as soon as she got home.
I promised myself I wouldn't be moved, I promised myself I wouldn't care, but when I actually heard that Ye Jingchi had fallen into the sea, my heart still clenched.
The Ye family is finished. After Ye Wenchi's death, he will also face a reckoning. The entire Ye family will be investigated, and their days will never be as glorious as before.
If Ye Jingchi can be found, the family can still maintain its position; if he cannot, the Ye family will fall behind completely in the capital.
Sang Zhi moved out of the Ye family's house, rented a place for herself, and found a job as a sales clerk.
Li Ying had no time to grieve, and Jing Yingyan brought over Commander Yan's lover.
"Aunt Yu, please have a seat!"
Yu Cuiping is the wife of Commander Yan and the younger sister of Director Yu, the director of the Western Medicine Factory.
"Li Ying, I came to see you because I want you to take a look at my niece's illness."
Jing Yingyan explained that Aunt Yu's niece was Director Yu's daughter.
"I heard that Director Yu's son-in-law is a medical student, and I think he probably wants to trust his son-in-law's medical skills."
Aunt Yu was furious: "What?! This ignorant person claims to have studied at a prestigious medical school! I bet he's the one who gave Pingping the wrong medication, which is why she's unconscious. Comrade Li Ying, I beg you, please go and check on Pingping!"
Out of respect for Commander Yan and at Jing Yingyan's request, Li Ying agreed to go along and take a look.
"Aunt Yu, it's okay to go and take a look, but I can't guarantee whether she can be cured."
"You can go and take a look!"
Li Ying followed Yu Cuiping to Director Yu's home, a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a tenement building, which was considered a decent place to live.
When the group arrived, Director Yu was talking to a young man.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Director Yu stood up: "Cuiping, what brings you here...?"
Yu Cuiping stared wide-eyed and said, "Brother, Pingping has been lying here for so long, and your Ye family hasn't completely cured her. I've invited Comrade Li Ying over so she can take a look at Pingping."
"Li Ying?" The young man looked at Li Ying, sizing her up and down: "You're the Li Ying who cured Jing Yingyan and Hua Chenyue?"
Li Ying nodded slightly: "It's me."
"I heard you studied traditional Chinese medicine and are skilled in acupuncture. But Pingping's illness is related to the brain, so I'm afraid your acupuncture won't be effective," the man said coldly.
"So, what do you think is the best treatment?"
“My father-in-law and I have discussed it and agreed to import advanced machines to maintain Pingping’s life. Then we will provide her with careful treatment and attentive care, and she will wake up soon.”
Theoretically, it is possible. Most vegetative state patients in later generations are like this: their lives are maintained by machines, but their will requires the care and meticulous attention of their families.
However, the chances of the other person recovering are still very slim.
"How long will it take for that machine you mentioned to arrive? How much longer can Pingping wait?" Yu Cuiping disagreed. "Brother, you really trust him that much! My sister-in-law is gone, and you only have this one daughter. Don't you feel any pity for her?"
How could Director Yu not feel sorry for Pingping? He had even consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to treat her, but she was still in the same condition.
Maybe if we follow what the son-in-law said, we can still get rid of Pingping.
"Director Yu, if you trust me, please let me examine Pingping, okay?"
Director Yu hesitated.
The man refused: "No! If you insert the wrong needle, Pingping might really not survive. I'm warning you, Pingping is my fiancée, and no one can touch her without my permission!"
Director Yu rubbed his hands, unable to make up his mind for a moment.
Yu Cuiping stomped her foot angrily: "Big brother, I'm Pingping's own aunt, would I harm her? Even if you don't believe Li Ying, you should believe Jing Yingyan, right?"
Director Yu looked at Jing Yingyan, then hesitated before looking at his son-in-law.
“Father-in-law, please believe me, I will definitely be able to save Pingping. It just takes time and some assistive tools. I know that traditional Chinese medicine is mysterious and great, but in the case of vegetative state patients, only some advanced Western medical techniques can cure them.”
The man spoke with conviction and conviction.
Director Yu was even more undecided.
"Then let's treat it together with both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine!"
"No!" the man refused. "If we're going to use Western medicine, then we'll use Western medicine. We absolutely cannot mix different methods!"
Li Ying smiled: "Actually, combining Chinese and Western medicine is something we can consider. The machine you mentioned is useful for people who are completely unconscious, but acupuncture can also restore the body's mechanisms, so sir, we can definitely cooperate."
The man sneered: "Cooperate with me? You think that's possible! Traditional Chinese medicine is outdated; miracles won't happen anymore! In the future, only Western medicine will prevail! Do you understand? We need to learn to accept new things and not be complacent, thinking that traditional Chinese medicine is omnipotent!"
"Xiao Chi, why don't we listen to your aunt and give it a try?" Director Yu thought it over and over. As long as it could save her daughter, she was willing to try any method.
Chi En firmly disagreed: "Father-in-law, I've said it before, if I can save Pingping, I definitely can! I don't want you to find some traditional Chinese medicine doctor to do acupuncture for Pingping during my treatment. This will disrupt my treatment plan and harm Pingping's condition!"
"What harm? I'm here to save my niece, not to harm her! I think you're the one who wants to harm Pingping. If you're so capable, then why don't you cure Pingping after all this time!"
