Chapter 96 Yuheng, Auntie begs you to tell me, whose jade Buddha is this?
The man, disguised as a deliveryman, saw that his goal had been achieved.
He turned around and was about to climb over the wall to escape.
Hearing the gunshot, Ali ran from the direction of the backyard and fired a shot into his leg.
Blood gushed out immediately.
But he seemed to have no pain receptors.
He gritted his teeth and leaped over the wall, scaling the high wall with his bare hands.
"Don't let him get away. You two, hurry up and chase after him," Ali instructed the bodyguards.
Before he could speak, the two bodyguards had already split into two groups and gone outside to intercept him.
Su Niannian's vision was stained red with blood.
It echoes the sunset glow on the horizon.
Through her blurry vision, she looked at the blinding red in the distance.
I can't tell if it's my own blood or the glow of the sunset...
The shadowy figures moved about, followed by the sound of various shoes stepping on the cobblestone path.
Everyone surrounded her.
"Young Madam, please don't sleep," the maid cried.
"Call the young master quickly! And Ali, hurry up and get the car ready. We need to take the young mistress to the hospital first. We can't afford to waste any more time."
Aunt Chen, her face ashen, gave orders to the crowd.
She couldn't care less about anything else; she had to make the decision for the young master first.
Ali ran to start the car.
"Young Madam, don't be afraid. We'll go to the hospital right away. You'll be alright," Aunt Chen said, trying to remain calm.
Su Niannian's eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
She's so sleepy.
I'm so tired.
The noise around me began to fade.
As consciousness was about to dissipate.
She thought with relief that she had protected her belly at the last moment.
I hope her babies are alright.
-----
The convoy on the highway finally began to move slowly, but due to the slippery roads caused by the snow and the previous car accident, it was still moving very slowly.
When Gu Yuheng received the call.
It was a little past four o'clock, not far from the time he had agreed to meet with Su Niannian.
The little girl said she would wait for him to come home.
But he never expected that he would receive such terrible news.
"Young Master, something terrible has happened! The Young Madam is in trouble!" came the anxious voice from the other end.
"What?" Gu Yuheng's face almost instantly lost all color.
The other party gave a general account of the whole story.
Gu Yuheng's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
He maintained his grip on the phone, a storm brewing in his eyes.
Gao Xiu, sitting in the front, heard it through the receiver.
"Mr. Gu..."
Gu Yuheng's usual composure was completely gone at this moment.
How much further until we get off the highway?
He was completely unaware that his jaw was chattering uncontrollably and that his fingernails were piercing his palms and drawing blood.
"There are still 30 kilometers to the exit... But Mr. Gu, judging from the current road conditions and speed, it will probably be midnight before we can get out."
A loud bang was heard.
It was the sound of Gu Yuheng opening the car door and running out.
Gao Xiu watched as the tall figure followed the flow of traffic, running straight towards the exit without looking back.
A look of astonishment flashed across Gao Xiu's eyes.
He muttered to himself, "Is President Gu planning to run to the exit...?"
He knew that President Gu loved his young mistress, but he hadn't known the depth of that love before.
But the scene before him made him realize something.
Mr. Gu's heart probably only has room for his young mistress.
If something happens to the young mistress, Mr. Gu's heart will likely die along with her.
His heart was dead, so how could he possibly live on alone in this world?
---
The hospital was perpetually filled with the smell of disinfectant, and its cold color scheme made one feel heavy-hearted.
The doors to the emergency room were tightly closed.
Gu Hanzhou, Rong Qin, and the old lady were all standing outside the door.
The old lady held her prayer beads, her eyes filled with worry.
"They've issued two critical condition notices already. How is Niannian doing? I'm so worried."
Everyone's face was solemn.
Gu Hanzhou said to the housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, "Uncle Zhang, please help Mom to sit down for a while."
Uncle Zhang nodded and said to the old lady.
"Madam, the young mistress will surely be blessed by heaven and will get through this difficult time safely. Let me help you sit over there. If Madam Bu wakes up and sees that you have fallen ill because of her worry, she will be saddened. She is so kind."
The old lady nodded.
Uncle Zhang helped him sit down in a chair.
She clasped her hands together in the direction of the west.
A devout prayer: "Buddha, Guanyin, please bless our Nian Nian so that she may overcome this difficult time and wake up safely."
Rong Qin's eyes were red, and she clenched her fingers tightly.
"Honey, I feel so sorry for my daughter-in-law. I wish I were the one lying in there."
Gu Hanzhou patted her shoulder: "Since Yuheng is not here, I will take his place. Don't worry, I will not let our daughter-in-law suffer any harm. No matter what resources we use, we will make sure Niannian is alright."
The words were spoken.
The operating room doors suddenly opened.
Gu Hanzhou and Rong Qin.
He immediately stepped forward.
"How is my daughter-in-law? Doctor," Gu Hanzhou asked with a furrowed brow.
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "The patient suffered a head injury and is pregnant. Her condition is very unstable at the moment, but we will do our best to save her. Please have the family sign this so we can perform surgery as soon as possible."
"I'll sign..." A dry, hoarse voice, mixed with heavy breathing, suddenly rang out from behind.
Everyone turned to look behind them.
A man wearing a black overcoat strode over.
His hair was completely soaked by the snowmelt, sticking messily to his forehead, and his cheeks were wet, it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or melted snow.
His chest heaved violently, like that of an asthma patient.
The black coat was soaked by snow and then frozen solid by the freezing weather outside.
It was worn straight on his body.
Gu Yuheng's handsome face was numb from the cold.
He staggered to the doctor.
He took the surgical consent form, the pen slipped from his hand several times, but he held it tightly in his hand each time.
The strokes are so messy that the name is almost illegible.
The doctor took it and turned to go inside.
Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm from behind.
He turned around.
Gu Yuheng stared at him with deep, dark eyes. The man, who was always aloof, now spoke with a pleading tone.
"Doctor, please put my wife first..."
He paused for a moment, his voice extremely dry: "If there is an emergency, don't ask me, just make sure to save the adult."
The doctor nodded.
Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
He then handed him a jade Buddha.
“Mr. Gu, this belongs to Mrs. Gu. Please keep it safe for her.”
The operating room doors closed.
It was quiet outside again.
Gu Yuheng held the blood-stained jade Buddha in his hand, staring blankly in the direction of the operating room.
It felt like a sharp dagger had been plunged into my heart.
The excruciating pain spread throughout my body.
Rong Qin paused for a moment, then slapped him on the back: "Niannian is pregnant right now. Instead of staying with her, you're running around everywhere. If you had stayed by Niannian's side, she wouldn't have gotten into trouble."
She choked up and said, "If anything happens to Niannian and her son, I will never forgive you in this lifetime."
Gu Yuheng was like a soulless shell, letting his mother beat him.
He didn't say anything.
Gu Hanzhou sighed deeply.
Even the old lady, who always doted on her grandson, remained silent.
My daughter-in-law is right.
It was Yuheng who failed to protect Nian Nian and her child.
All she wants now is for her and her two children to get through this difficult time safely.
Accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.
Xie Siyan, dressed in dark green surgical scrubs, was the first to appear in everyone's sight.
Seeing his son like this, Gu Hanzhou stepped forward and said, "Siyan, I'll leave Niannian and her son to you."
Xie Siyan looked at him with a complicated expression: "Don't worry, Uncle Gu."
He left those words behind, walked past him, and went straight into the operating room.
Gu Yuheng swayed, and with a thud, he collapsed to his knees, exhausted.
He ran 30 kilometers on foot, worrying about Su Niannian's condition the whole way.
He only managed to stay upright by sheer willpower.
Just then, Xie Siyan arrived.
The strength that had been supporting him suddenly dissipated, and he was completely exhausted.
"Yuheng, where did you get this jade Buddha?"
Gu Yuheng's hand, which was holding the jade Buddha, was suddenly grabbed from behind.
He suddenly turned around.
He met Lin Wan's pale, paper-white face.
Lin Wan was trembling all over, worried about Su Niannian's safety. Her long-ailing body could hardly withstand her brisk walking.
Coughing violently, she persistently asked, "Yuheng, please tell me, whose jade Buddha is this?"
