When Gu Zhengfeng received Song Shutian's call, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't find his own voice for a long time.
"Xiao Song, you mean to say that my daughter—"
Song Shutian sighed on the other end of the phone, "They're trying to save him, but the doctors aren't very confident. So I hope you can come over as soon as possible. We can talk about it when we meet."
Wen Jingwan was half asleep when she received a phone call from home. Most of the calls were for her husband and had little to do with her.
But tonight was different. I don't know what happened, but my son was sleeping soundly when he suddenly started crying. I had just put him to sleep and was about to take a nap when the phone call disturbed me.
Hearing her husband mention their daughter, Wen Jingwan immediately snapped to attention. "What? What happened to Jiang Qiao? Speak up!"
Gu Zhengfeng turned to look at his wife with some difficulty, his eyes stinging with tears. "Jingwan, something happened to the child. We need to go back quickly. Pack your things and we'll leave right away."
Wen Jingwan grabbed the man's arm and shook it violently, "What's going on? What happened? What's wrong with Qiao'er?"
Gu Zhengfeng wiped his eyes. "Qiao'er is injured, in the head—"
Upon hearing the news, Wen Jingwan swayed twice, then slumped to the side.
Gu Zhengfeng scooped his wife up. It didn't matter that she had fallen; their son was still lying next to her.
"Jingwan, Jingwan—"
With one hand supporting his wife, he quickly pinched Wen Jingwan's philtrum with the other. Wen Jingwan's breathing calmed down, and her tears flowed like a stream.
"My daughter, Qiao'er—"
Gu Zhengfeng was anxious. With his wife like this, how could he take people back? He didn't want to neglect his daughter before his wife collapsed first.
“Jingwan, the child is in critical condition. I can’t take you back like this. Why don’t I leave first?”
Wen Jingwan sat bolt upright. "No, I'm going with you. Quick, let's pack our things—"
Seeing his wife packing her luggage while shedding tears, Gu Zhengfeng felt terrible as well.
After calling to ask for leave, I woke up my son, Little Stone. He wasn't fully awake yet, and I forcibly woke him up. The little guy was still a bit grumpy when he woke up, and he was grinning as if he wanted to cry.
However, Gu Zhengfeng's next words completely shut the little guy up.
"Stone, don't cry. In a little while, Daddy will take you to see your sister. Do you remember your sister? The sister in the photo, the sister who mailed you delicious food and nice clothes."
The guy kept repeating, "Sister, I want sister, the sister of the stone, the pretty sister, quick—"
Don't underestimate this little girl; the word "older sister" carries a lot of weight in Stone's heart.
The other kids all envy him for having such a great older sister. She sends him things that no other kid has ever tasted, and she even buys him toys. No one's sister is as amazing as his.
After tidying up his son, Gu Zhenfeng quickly prepared some food. Adults could skip meals, but children couldn't.
After a flurry of activity, the couple finally managed to get to the station with their child and luggage. Luckily, they arrived at the right time and there was a train running there.
Gu Zhengfeng brought his bodyguards back with him this time. His daughter's condition was unknown, and they also brought his son. He was afraid that they wouldn't have time to take care of the child, so he brought an extra person to help take care of him.
When Gu Zhengkai went over there, his niece was still in the operating room. Especially after learning that his niece's condition was critical, Gu Zhengkai felt terrible.
Sitting on a chair in the corridor, head in his hands, Liu Zhanyu explained the situation to him.
"...So, we flew directly here. Our family doesn't know about the accident. Lao Gu, do you think we should let them know?"
Gu Zhengkai shook his head painfully, "Don't tell them yet. Qiao'er is the apple of the old men's eye. What if they can't handle it when they hear this news? Let's keep it from them for now. We've already caught them."
Liu Zhanyu nodded. "We caught her, but I feel bad about Qiao'er's condition. I feel like it was our carelessness that caused her to be like this. If we had kept her in the room, the child would have been fine."
Gu Zhengkai sighed. He had already learned what had happened. He had no one to blame but himself. It was an accident. Who could have imagined that Lone Wolf would send someone to kill his third uncle? Nobody could have foreseen that.
Song Shutian called Jiang Jinyu and Song Zhi. After all, one was his boss and the other was Jiang Qiao's uncle. He had to inform them about this. If his family contacted someone, he had to at least ask Song Zhi to help keep it a secret.
He knew best what was going on between the old folks in the family and Jiang Qiao. If they knew the child was in trouble, those old men would probably be in bed too. At this juncture, it was best not to let the family know.
After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi went back and packed his things; he wanted to come and see Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Jinyu then instructed over the phone, "I understand. Do everything you can to save her. Let me know if she needs anything."
Regarding the interrogation, I'll temporarily assign someone else to conduct it. You keep a close eye on Jiang Qiao; make sure nothing happens to him during this critical period.”
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jinyu sat alone in the room for a long time without saying a word.
Jiang Qiao's condition is really not optimistic. The hospital has sent its best doctor to perform surgery on her.
The time spent on the scalpel alone was already agonizing for those waiting outside, not to mention the constant complications during the surgery, which kept them on edge, fearing that the patient might not make it off the operating table.
The three materialists were secretly praying to their surroundings, hoping that God would bless this outstanding child.
After finally getting through the surgery, the doctor said something that almost made the three of them collapse.
"Although the bullet has been removed, I can't say for sure that this person is alright. After all, the injury was to the brain, and damage to any neuron can cause a series of reactions. Let's see how the recovery goes."
Gu Zhengkai pressed further, "Doctor, what do you mean? Will my child be able to wake up?"
The doctor sighed. "I can only say that the chances are fifty-fifty. If she recovers well, there might be no problem. But you should be prepared that she might never wake up, or she might wake up in a few years. The structure of the human brain is too complex, and I can't explain it clearly in a short time."
To be frank, it was only because she was brought in in time that she was saved; otherwise, given the location of the injury, it would have been very difficult to save her.
Actually, being alive is already a blessing. As for when I will fully recover, I really can't give you a specific answer.
Gu Zhengkai muttered to himself, "How could this happen—"
The doctor patted Gu Zhengkai on the shoulder, and Song Shutian quickly gave Liu Zhanyu a look, "You accompany Brother Gu to the ward, I'll talk to the doctor—"
