"Di Mingjue." The old woman, sitting weakly in her wheelchair, was pushed by the butler to the operating room door.
Upon waking, she learned from the butler that Jiang Ziyu's condition was critical and couldn't help but come to see her. After all, it was to save Di Mingjue; otherwise, Di Mingjue would have been the one lying there.
Di Mingjue's eyes were bloodshot, but he still refused to relax. His eyes were fixed on the door, and he wouldn't shift his gaze until Jiang Ziyu was successfully out of surgery.
"Old Madam, you should still persuade President Di. He won't be able to handle it if he continues like this." Shen Lin looked worried.
When he had lost his temper with the nurse earlier, his blood had rushed to his head several times, nearly causing an accident.
The old woman approached Di Mingjue, blocking his view of the emergency room. "Ziyu wouldn't want you like this, and you still have Qianqian. What will she do if you also get into trouble?"
"Grandma, you should go rest." Di Mingjue moved his wheelchair, his gaze returning to the operating room door.
This time, he had truly given his heart!
With a long sigh, the old woman's heart had died since Di Ruihe spoke those words to her. As the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own fortunes; she couldn't control everyone's affairs.
Instructing Shen Lin to stay and keep watch, the old woman had a servant escort her back to her room.
The emergency light went off, and the doctor emerged from the emergency room, exhausted.
"The surgery was a complete success."
The suspended heart returned to its place, and Di Mingjue sincerely thanked the doctor.
Following the nurse, he arrived at the ward. Jiang Ziyu was still in the intensive care unit and required twenty hours of observation before she could be moved to a regular room.
However, since the surgery was successful, there would be no further life-threatening issues.
Di Mingjue looked at the pale-faced Jiang Ziyu through the glass window with heartache.
As quickly as the bullet had flown towards him, Jiang Ziyu had moved to block it. Nothing could stop it in time, and she collapsed at his feet.
If she didn't care, how could she sacrifice her life to save him?
Di Mingjue asked, "Where is Qianqian?"
He had gone to the memorial hall alone, while Qianqian had been with Jiang Ziyu. She had arrived later but he hadn't seen Qianqian.
"Miss Qianqian was placed with Doctor Pitt by Madam," Shen Lin replied.
"Go bring her here." Di Mingjue regretted it immediately. "Forget it, let her stay there. If she comes over, she'll be worried and scared."
At that time, he wouldn't be able to attend to both and would not be able to rest assured while taking care of Jiang Ziyu.
Shen Lin stood beside him again, remembering that Di Ruihe had passed away. He had been looking for an opportunity to mention it, and now was the time to tell him.
Mulling it over, Shen Lin observed Di Mingjue's expression.
"How is he?" Di Mingjue asked proactively.
"The bullet entered his temple, and he died on the spot," Shen Lin recounted. "His wife and child are still at the Di residence. I've already sent people to guard them, so they can't leave."
"Handle his funeral matters simply, then send his wife and child abroad."
"Understood."
After Shen Lin left, Di Mingjue remained alone outside the intensive care unit window.
...
"I want Mommy!"
"Uncle Mu, please take us to see Mommy!"
Xiao Ran and Yu Ze both pleaded with him to see Jiang Ziyu. The two children seemed to sense something, and no amount of coaxing or comforting worked.
Looking at Yu Ze's pale, bloodless face, Mu Liangchen could only verbally agree.
However, the two little ones were very clever and insisted on seeing Jiang Ziyu immediately. With no other choice, he took them to Pitt's residence.
At Jiang Ziyu's request, Pitt had not returned to his country immediately and had stayed in the capital for a few more days.
When Mu Liangchen arrived at his residence and saw Qianqian, he was surprised.
"Ziyu sent her?"
"Yes, she said she had something to do, and we happened to be staying at the same hotel."
