Ye Junwen arranged for a VIP room for Grandpa Ye, as he was old and his body could not withstand as much as a younger person, so it was better for him to rest in bed.
Ye Jinmeng only had minor bone fractures and no damage to internal organs, so she did not need surgery. She had her right arm in a cast and some large cuts stitched, and was wheeled into a hospital room, with Xu Wanwan sitting by her bedside to keep her company, afraid that Ye Jinmeng would be scared when she woke up.
However, Ye Jinchen's injuries were too severe, and the surgical risk was quite high, so Ye Junli, who was waiting outside the operating room, began to fall apart emotionally.
"Why, Jinchen is still so young, I would rather it be me who was injured..."
He Junting did not know how to comfort him, and could only stand by silently.
Shi Shuning rushed to the hospital as soon as she got off the plane.
She called He Junting in the taxi, learned about the current situation, and felt relieved to hear that Jinmeng was not in danger. But upon hearing about Ye Jinchen's condition, she could not help but feel a pang of anguish.
After arriving at the hospital, she first went to the ward to see Ye Jinmeng, gently stroking her sleeping face with sympathy.
Fortunately, Xu Wanwan was there to take care of her, so Shi Shuning nodded to her and went to the operating room.
Gu Qi and the Old Madam had recovered, and had Liu the butler drive them to the hospital as well.
The atmosphere in front of the operating room was heavy. Gu Qi, without needing to ask, understood that the situation might be very bad. She silently supported the Old Madam and sat down next to Ye Junli, holding his trembling hand and holding back her tears, comforting each other.
The surgery lasted until 10 o'clock the next morning, when the operating room lights finally went out.
The doctor, looking exhausted, came out and sighed silently at the equally haggard family members.
"The surgery was successful. However, the patient's injuries were too severe. The probability of him surviving is very low. All we can do is use machines and drugs to temporarily maintain the patient's bodily functions, and it will depend on the patient's will to live."
In such cases, the doctor had encountered many times before. With severe organ damage, the ventilator and drugs could not sustain the patient for long, no matter how strong their will to live, the chances of survival were minimal.
But for Ye Junli and Gu Qi, this was good news. As long as there was still a breath, a miracle might happen.
Ye Jinchen was wheeled into the intensive care unit, and Gu Qi, standing outside, looked through the glass at her son hooked up to all the tubes, covering her mouth and crying.
Grandpa Ye and the Old Madam supported each other, aged overnight.
Ye Junwen, standing behind Grandpa Ye, had a slight smile on his face. He understood the doctor's words - Ye Jinchen probably only had a few days left.
Ye Junwen thought about the pale-faced Ye Jinmeng lying in the ward, and his heart ached.
As for her origins, he definitely couldn't say anything now, not only because Shi Shuning had returned, but also because he feared that if Ye Jinmeng knew, her already weakened body might not be able to withstand the second blow.
After some thought, he made an excuse to leave the hospital and found a secluded corner to call Xiao Jianren.
The other end picked up quickly.
"Brother Junwen~ How's it going, did we do a good job this time?"
Ye Junwen heard the cheerful tone and was furious.
"Xiao Jianren, didn't I tell you to have someone attack Ye Jinchen on his way to Hai City University? Why was Jinmeng in the car?"
Xiao Jianren didn't pick up on Ye Junwen's anger and still spoke joyfully.
"Oh, I told them to do that. I've hated that little bitch Jinmeng for a long time, and this was a good opportunity. Might as well just kill them both, did they both die?"
Xiao Jianren got more and more excited, "Brother Junwen, did I do a great job? Not only did I help you get rid of Jinchen, but I also helped you get rid of Jinmeng, that stumbling block. You won't have any worries from them in the future!"
"Xiao Jianren!" Ye Junwen gritted his teeth in anger, she actually dared to curse his Jinmeng as a "little bitch"!
She had hurt his most beloved girl, ruined his plan, and was even smugly bragging to him, and Ye Junwen now had a hundred ways in his mind to make Xiao Jianren pay with her life.
"Brother Junwen, you're not happy?" Xiao Jianren was flustered by Ye Junwen's tone.
"Xiao Jianren, I'm telling you, you hurt Jinmeng, and I won't let you off!"
Ye Junwen said it in a calm voice, then hung up the phone.
Hearing the "beep beep" on the other end of the phone, Xiao Jianren finally realized that she had angered Ye Junwen with her independent decision, and her heart dropped. She wanted to call back, but only heard the cold mechanical female voice.
"The number you dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later..."
She had been blocked, and Xiao Jianren slumped in the chair, muttering, "How could this happen? Didn't this plan benefit him the most..."
Ye Junwen returned to the hospital, just as He Junting and Shi Shuning were telling Ye Junli about the latest developments in the car accident case.
They had gone to the police station early in the morning and got the latest information from the officers handling the case.
"Uncle, the oil tanker driver has already been criminally detained. His blood alcohol content reached 90mg/100ml.
However, the police found that the oil tanker had already stopped steadily when the red light was about to turn on, but then suddenly accelerated and crashed into Jinchen's car."
Shi Shuning's voice was cold, "So, there is a possibility that it was a premeditated attack."
Ye Junli suddenly looked up, "What did you say, was it a premeditated attack?"
Shi Shuning nodded, "That driver was in a drunken state and couldn't be woken up. The police are still investigating."
Gu Qi was shaking with anger, "Who is trying to harm my two children! I must make them pay with their lives!"
Ye Junwen's heart was pounding, but thinking about his own preparations, he felt a little relieved.
Since Xiao Jianren had hurt his Jinmeng, he would not hesitate to give her a push as well.
...
Ye Jinmeng was awakened by the pain, slowly opening her eyes to a white haze. She turned her head slightly, and the dizziness made her unable to resist feeling nauseous.
"Jinmeng, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Xu Wanwan saw that Ye Jinmeng had woken up and asked with concern.
"Wanwan... Where am I?" Ye Jinmeng's voice was hoarse.
Xu Wanwan gently wiped her lips with a cotton swab, and tears almost spilled out again.
"Jinmeng, you and your brother were in a car accident, and now you're in the hospital."
Ye Jinmeng's head was spinning, she closed her eyes to rest for a moment, and the fragmented images in her mind came back - the oil tanker, and a vast expanse of red.
The oil tanker, her brother, the car accident...
Ye Jinmeng remembered now, and the tears streamed down uncontrollably. Although her whole body was in pain, she still wanted to sit up. "My brother, how is my brother? He was shielding me, and there was so much blood..."
