Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan fell silent. At this moment, Shen Lang's phone rang.
Upon hearing the phone ring, Shen Lang took his phone out of his pocket and saw that the caller was none other than Yu Xiao's teacher, Lin Danqing.
Shen Lang held Lin Danqing in high regard, especially since he was Yu Xiao's teacher.
Therefore, seeing the call from him, Shen Lang stopped teasing Wang Yuyan and answered the phone.
However, as soon as the call connected, Lin Danqing on the other end exclaimed, "Mr. Shen, something has happened to Yu Xiao!"
"What?"
Hearing that Yu Xiao was in trouble, Shen Lang's expression changed drastically. He asked, "Old Lin, what are you saying? What exactly happened?"
"Mr. Shen, I'm not entirely sure of the details. Just now, her homeroom teacher called me, saying Yu Xiao accidentally fell from the restaurant opposite the school. Her life is uncertain, so I contacted you immediately."
Lin Danqing spoke breathlessly, clearly from running. He said to Shen Lang, "Mr. Shen, you must leave immediately. I am on my way to the scene to gather information. I will tell you immediately if I learn anything."
"Alright, Old Lin. I'll trouble you."
Hearing Lin Danqing's words, Shen Lang said gratefully. He then put his phone back in his pocket, grabbed a jacket, and was about to leave.
However, as he reached the doorway, Shen Lang stopped and said to Wang Yuyan, "Yuyan, Yu Xiao's teacher said she's in trouble. I have to go out for a bit."
"Husband, hurry and go. I won't overthink it."
Seeing that Shen Lang could still consider her feelings at this moment, Wang Yuyan was deeply moved. She said to Shen Lang, "No matter what, you must not let Xiao Xiao be harmed. She is also my good friend."
Wang Yuyan was moody and even petty, but in matters like this, she would never make things difficult for Shen Lang.
That's right, she wanted all the women around Shen Lang to leave, but she wouldn't resort to such methods.
"Okay, I'm going then."
Hearing Wang Yuyan's words, Shen Lang nodded, then quickly walked out the door. Soon, Shen Lang's car could be heard driving away.
"Xiao Xiao, you must not die..."
Shen Lang felt too much guilt towards Yu Xiao.
When Shen Lang married Gu Qinghan, Yu Xiao didn't make things difficult for her. Later, when he married Wang Yuyan, Yu Xiao still didn't. She always considered Shen Lang's feelings, never thinking of herself.
Shen Lang didn't only have Yu Xiao in his heart, but in Yu Xiao's heart, there was only Shen Lang.
Shen Lang simply couldn't imagine what he would do if Yu Xiao were to truly die.
Shen Lang's mind was in turmoil, and he was extremely anxious. He unconsciously stepped on the accelerator to the fullest. What originally took half an hour to drive to Yu Xiao's school, Shen Lang shortened by a third, arriving at the school in just ten minutes.
Shen Lang parked his car haphazardly, quickly got out, and then saw a sushi restaurant that had somehow opened across from the school.
After a slight surprise, Shen Lang hurried towards the sushi restaurant. However, just as Shen Lang reached the entrance of the sushi restaurant, he saw a crowd surrounding the entrance.
"Excuse me—"
Shen Lang pushed his way through the crowd and finally reached the front. But when he saw the scene before him, his heart was instantly torn apart.
Yu Xiao lay in a pool of blood, her clothes seventy percent torn. In addition to the fall, there were many wounds, similar to knife cuts.
"Xiao Xiao—"
Shen Lang didn't know what Yu Xiao had been through, but the priority was to save her. Shen Lang quickly stepped forward and found that Yu Xiao still had a breath. He called out to her.
However, although Yu Xiao had a breath, her pulse and heartbeat were too weak. Shen Lang's call received no response at all.
"Severe internal injuries from the fall, massive internal bleeding, cranial impact, cerebral contusion."
Shen Lang examined Yu Xiao's injuries and found her situation to be extremely dangerous. His expression grew even more grim.
"Mr. Shen, you're here?"
Lin Danqing, who had finally managed to squeeze to the front, saw Shen Lang and exclaimed in shock.
"Old Lin, do me a favor. Disperse all the onlookers. I need to save someone, and I don't want to be disturbed."
Shen Lang had a thousand words in his heart, but now was not the time to ask them. Shen Lang only wanted to save Yu Xiao; nothing else mattered.
"Alright, Mr. Shen. I'll do as you say."
Shen Lang had saved Ning Hongzhuang, and Lin Danqing had always wanted to repay that favor, but Shen Lang had never taken it to heart, thus never giving Lin Danqing the opportunity.
Lin Danqing was filled with gratitude towards Shen Lang. Now that he had a chance to do something for Shen Lang, Lin Danqing felt extremely honored.
"Everyone, please step aside. Don't crowd around. Thank you."
Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Lin Danqing immediately began to persuade the onlookers to disperse.
"Old man, let us go. What right do you have?"
Hearing Lin Danqing's words, the onlookers expressed their dissatisfaction.
"What right?"
Lin Danqing retorted, "The person injured now is my student. She fell inexplicably. If you continue to gather, the Martial Guards will arrive, and you'll have a hard time explaining yourselves."
It must be said that Lin Danqing understood human nature very well, so he knew what words would best deal with these people.
As expected, upon hearing Lin Danqing's words, the faces of the onlookers instantly changed, and they scattered.
Indeed, watching the commotion was fine, but if the Martial Guards arrived, they would have to cooperate by going to the Martial Guard Bureau for several hours of statements. Wasn't that just creating trouble for themselves?
After dispersing all the onlookers, Lin Danqing looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Mr. Shen, how is Yu Xiao's condition?"
Yu Xiao was a well-behaved and sensible girl, so Lin Danqing was very fond of her and extremely worried about her safety.
"She's severely injured, but it's alright. As long as I'm here, I won't let her die."
Shen Lang uttered these words, and then a Taiyi divine needle appeared in his hand. Shen Lang directly inserted this Taiyi divine needle into Yu Xiao's forehead.
The Taiyi divine needle had many application methods. Shen Lang had used methods like Jie Zi Jue (解字决), Hua Zi Jue (化字决), Tong Zi Jue (通字决), and Ling Zi Jue (灵字决), but he had never used Ning Zi Jue (凝字决).
The key to Ning Zi Jue lay in the character "Ning" (凝), which meant "to condense." This needle, regardless of the poison or injury the patient suffered, could condense their life force for five minutes.
Don't underestimate these five minutes. While they might not mean much to others, for Shen Lang, these five minutes were enough for him to do many things, allowing him to successfully save Yu Xiao.
As the Taiyi divine needle pierced Yu Xiao's forehead, Yu Xiao's life force immediately became still. Then, Shen Lang drew out three more Taiyi divine needles.
