The messenger was Chen Wenzhong's bodyguard.
When Shen Sisi saw him, her heart skipped a beat, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
"What did you say? What happened to Gu Chengfeng?" Shen Sisi stumbled to the door.
The guard was sweating profusely with anxiety. He was too young and had never experienced such a scene before. His expression was slightly flustered: "Shen Zhiqing, I can't explain the specifics. You'd better come with me right away!"
"We can talk about it on the way."
She nodded thoughtfully and was about to follow him when she heard a noise behind her as soon as she stepped out the door.
Xu Hongying collapsed to the ground, clearly terrified. Chengfeng was her only son; if anything happened to him, how could she live?
"Mom, Mom! Big sister, please help Mom up..."
Gu Qingqian ordered Gu Wanyin to take action, her face turning pale with anxiety.
The two of them worked together to help the old lady up and sit in a chair. Gu Qingqian wiped her sweat and said, "You stay with Mom, I'll go with her to check on her!"
Gu Qingqian and Shen Sisi got into the car with the guards and drove towards the hospital.
On the way, the guard finally managed to stammer out the whole story.
Gu Chengfeng and his team's mission this time was to destroy a foreign force's hideout on the border. They acted swiftly, like heavenly soldiers descending, and successfully destroyed the hideout. Just as they were preparing to return, an earthquake struck the mountains, and an entire mountain suddenly collapsed.
The epicenter was exactly where Gu Chengfeng's team was located. Despite the danger, and with communications cut off and the situation unclear, he led his team into the disaster area for rescue and relief efforts.
Then an aftershock struck, and the entire mountain collapsed again. In an attempt to save his comrades, he was struck by a boulder and has remained unconscious ever since…
"The situation was urgent at the time. After Chen learned about it, he immediately arranged for Gu to be airlifted back. He's at the People's Hospital now..."
He dared not tell Shen Sisi that Gu Chengfeng was covered in blood when he was brought over.
She didn't dare tell Shen Sisi that Gu Chengfeng had been unconscious for three days and hadn't woken up yet.
The doctor said that it is very likely that Gu Tuan will become a vegetable.
If that's really the case, then... that would be terrible!
Upon hearing this, Shen Sisi kept taking deep breaths, telling herself not to cry, not to cry, that now was the time for her to be strong.
Although Gu Chengfeng was hit, he was able to be transported back, so he should be out of danger. Otherwise, Chen Tuan would definitely have chosen to prioritize his treatment at the local hospital.
As long as people are still alive, that's all that matters!
Shen Sisi held back her tears and remained relatively calm, because she knew she couldn't panic. If she lost her composure, the whole family would be thrown into chaos.
Compared to her calm and composed demeanor, Gu Qingqian beside her kept twisting her fingers, almost breaking them, and tears welled up in her eyes like a flood bursting its banks, unstoppable.
"Chen Sisi, how can you be so cold-blooded? My brother is in trouble, and you can still sit still without shedding a single tear!"
"Are you hoping something bad happens to him? That way you can be with someone else legitimately... Ah... Hit me!"
Gu Qingqian covered her cheek and let out a scream like a chicken being slaughtered.
Chen Sisi rubbed her numb hands and said, "Shut up! You dare to curse Gu Chengfeng? Believe me, I'll beat you to death!"
"You, you actually..."
"Alright, be quiet!" Shen Sisi roared furiously, her eyes bloodshot, looking like a demon from hell, which frightened Gu Qingqian.
After finally arriving at the hospital, Chen Sisi followed the guards all the way to a private ward under special care.
In the ward, Gu Chengfeng had many instruments inserted into his body, and an oxygen tube was inserted into his nose.
Feng Yanzhou stood guard beside Gu Chengfeng. He was unshaven, his face was covered in yellow mud, and he had two huge dark circles under his eyes. His clothes were also tattered, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested at all.
Suppressing her heart trembling, Chen Sisi walked toward Gu Chengfeng, looking utterly dejected.
Having grown accustomed to his energetic and lively nature, seeing him lying so quietly now, as if asleep, she pondered softly calling his name: "Gu Chengfeng..."
As soon as she shouted it out, the suppressed emotions completely broke down, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, fell to the ground in large drops.
She originally thought she could face all the storms calmly and strongly.
However, all those storms were nothing compared to Gu Chengfeng.
This was the first time she had realized how important Gu Chengfeng was to her.
So important that the thought of losing him, of him never waking up again, caused her excruciating heartache, and made the whole world seem bleak.
"Sister-in-law..." Feng Yanzhou stood up abruptly, his expression flustered and pained: "I'm sorry..."
"What have you wronged?" Chen Sisi asked, her voice choked with emotion.
"I...I failed to protect Chengfeng!" Feng Yanzhou was on the scene at the time. He went crazy and carried Chengfeng out of the disaster area all by himself.
Even so, he was still very sad, feeling that he had failed to protect his brother.
"Nobody wanted this to happen, nobody wants an accident to happen..." Shen Sisi didn't blame him. After all, it was a natural disaster, and Gu Chengfeng protecting his comrades was his instinct.
What could she say?
Who can we blame?
If given another chance, she believed that Gu Chengfeng would definitely choose the same path again without hesitation.
“Now is not the time to blame anyone, but to find a way to cure him, isn’t it?” Shen Sisi said.
Feng Yanzhou felt truly ashamed; at this moment, he needed Shen Sisi to comfort him.
Chen Sisi's strength exceeded his expectations.
