On the hospital bed, the sound of dripping IV fluids could be heard.
Wen Yanrou and Luo Tianji sat by the bed, while Dong Shuzhen, with tears streaming down her face, held Qian Huifeng's hand and said, "Old Qian, Tianji is awake, you should wake up too."
Qian Huifeng on the bed looked like an old man who was about to die.
At only fifty years old, his skin had already become dry, loose, and full of wrinkles.
The color of her skin has also changed from fair to waxy yellow.
Qian Huifeng was originally 178 cm tall and weighed 160 kg, but now he looks like he weighs less than 110 catties.
It looks like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin.
Not only that, his hair loss was severe, with only a few sparse hairs left on the top of his head.
"How did Brother Qian become like this?" Luo Tianji asked anxiously, his heart aching terribly.
Dong Shuzhen cried and said, "Not long after you and your sister-in-law had the accident, Lao Qian suddenly fainted when he went to inspect the company."
From that time on, Lao Qian's physical functions declined rapidly, and he eventually remained in this state, half-dead.
A week ago, Lao Qian suddenly perked up, saying he felt you were awake, and then fell into a coma again until now.
"Sister-in-law, do you know about Yi Mo and the others' situation?" Luo Tianji asked.
Dong Shuzhen shook her head: "They came right after Lao Qian's accident, and then they all had accidents afterward, and we don't know where they are now."
I don't have the energy to manage that anymore.
Luo Tianji nodded. "Has Lao Qian consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for his condition?"
"We've consulted doctors, but they can't find the cause of the illness," Dong Shuzhen said, looking exhausted.
Seeing this, Wen Yanrou walked to Dong Shuzhen's side and said, "Sister-in-law, let me take you to rest. Tianji is looking after things here. You're too tired."
“How can that be? Tianji only woke up not long ago.” Dong Shuzhen shook her head, her expression revealing her exhaustion.
Luo Tianji walked over and, together with Wen Yanrou, helped Dong Shuzhen up: "Sister-in-law, you and Yanrou go and rest. I'll take care of things here."
Dong Shuzhen paused, looked at Luo Tianji's serious expression, and nodded to the two of them, "Thank you for your trouble."
With that, she left with Wen Yanrou.
Luo Tianji sat down next to Qian Huifeng, stared at him expressionlessly for a while, and then said, "Old Qian, I'm back."
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were a little moist. "Stop pretending to be asleep, get up."
The person in bed did not move.
Luo Tianji buried his head beside Qian Huifeng's bed and said in a muffled voice, "Aren't you going to wake up and see my daughter?"
"Let me tell you, my daughter is so beautiful. I don't usually let just anyone see her. I'll bring her to see you after she gets out of school."
Luo Tianji talked on and on, while the person on the bed remained completely still.
Towards the end, Luo Tianji sighed, "Oh, right, your goddaughter asked me to get something for you."
He took a small, transparent bag out of his pocket; inside was a talisman.
Luo Tianji placed the talisman under Qian Huifeng's pillow and said smugly, "Let me tell you, your goddaughter is super amazing!"
"She knows so much, we can't even come close to her."
"Tch, just go to sleep! If you sleep, you won't see my precious Yuzu anymore. That's fine, no one will be fighting me for it."
After rambling on for a while, Luo Tianji rested his chin on his hand and stared at Qian Huifeng. He then took out his phone and asked a private investigator to find out the whereabouts of the other brothers.
Two hours later.
Luo Tianji stood up, glanced at Qian Huifeng again, and snorted, "Alright, I'm going to pick up Xiaoyouzi now, I'll come back later."
Over there, Wen Yanrou also accompanied Dong Shuzhen back.
Dong Shuzhen adjusted the blankets for Qian Huifeng and escorted the two to the door.
Luo Tianji patted her shoulder: "Go back and rest, sister-in-law. I'll bring Xiaoyouzi over later."
“Old Qian definitely doesn’t want Xiaoyouzi to see this.” Dong Shuzhen knew how much Qian Huifeng liked Xiaoyouzi.
He did everything in his power when Xiaoyouzi disappeared.
Even when she was extremely busy, she still went to see Xiaoyouzi.
Luo Tianji shook his head: "Xiao Youzi really wants to see him, and besides, Lao Qian has no objections."
"Pfft." Dong Shuzhen smiled as she realized what was happening.
Wen Yanrou glared at Luo Tianji from the side: "Alright, stop fooling around, let's go."
After Luo Tianji and the others left, Qian Huifeng, who was lying on the bed, suddenly twitched his fingers.
Dong Shuzhen, who had been holding Qian Huifeng's hand since sitting down, suddenly stopped.
"Old Qian, did you move?" Dong Shuzhen's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Qian Huifeng, who was lying on the hospital bed.
She pursed her lips, held Qian Huifeng's hands in her arms, and waited expectantly for him to move again.
Dong Shuzhen waited for a while, but the person on the bed did not move.
Her eyes were unfocused, tinged with regret.
But at that moment, Qian Huifeng's fingers curled up again.
Dong Shuzhen, who was holding Qian Huifeng's hand, immediately realized what was happening, her eyes filled with surprise and joy: "Old Qian, you're awake!"
She hurriedly got up and pressed the emergency call button: "Doctor, come quick, my husband is awake!"
After she finished pressing the button, she met Qian Huifeng's dull and lifeless eyes.
His eye bags were very obvious, and his eyelids were somewhat loose and droopy, making him look like an old man who had seen through the ways of the world.
"Old Qian!" Dong Shuzhen laughed, rushed over, and gently hugged Qian Huifeng: "Old Qian, you're finally awake!"
Qian Huifeng glanced around and frowned: "How did I end up in the hospital? It's no use. My body probably won't last much longer."
"Old Qian, don't say that!" Dong Shuzhen's eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was sorrowful.
With a heavy shake of his head, Qian Huifeng's weathered voice rang out: "Shuzhen, listen to this, after I die, 80 percent of the shares in the family's Qian Company will go to you, and 20 percent to our son."
