Her intentions were clear.
However, Lu Sinian acted as if he hadn't noticed, started the engine, and drove.
Mu Yinyin's gaze shifted, and she finally turned back with a sigh, sitting properly.
But…
Before they could even reach the company, Mu Yinyin's phone vibrated incessantly. She took it out and saw it was Jiang Ling calling. Without hesitation, she answered.
He wouldn't be calling her at this time unless something was wrong.
"Yinyin, Xiao Qi is in trouble."
Mu Yinyin's face changed drastically. "What happened!"
"Come to the hospital first. I'll send you the address." After speaking, Jiang Ling hung up.
Mu Yinyin immediately looked at WeChat.
Lu Sinian also sensed something was amiss and looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"Can you take me to the hospital? Xiao Qi is in trouble." Mu Yinyin's voice was heavy.
If it were a minor issue, Jiang Ling wouldn't have called her with such seriousness. It must be a big problem.
And she knew medicine, so she had to get there immediately.
Mu Yinyin gave him the address, and Lu Sinian immediately signaled and turned around, driving at an extremely high speed, running several red lights. Life was at stake, and they couldn't afford to be careless.
A journey that should have taken over an hour, Lu Sinian completed in half an hour.
Mu Yinyin had already confirmed their location with Jiang Ling on the way. She glanced at Lu Sinian and said, "Thank you for driving me here. I won't trouble you anymore after this. I might have some things to handle on my end."
The "things" naturally referred to checking on Gu Xiao Qi's condition.
Lu Sinian knew he wouldn't be needed for what came next. He nodded, "Alright. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me."
Mu Yinyin nodded, said nothing further, and rushed towards the top floor.
Gu Xiao Qi was still unconscious. When Mu Yinyin arrived, she saw two people waiting outside the hallway.
"How is Xiao Qi now?"
Li Chuan's eyes were bloodshot. He looked as though he hadn't slept for days. He spoke directly, "She's still in a coma. The doctor said she has severe septicemia, and it's beyond treatment."
Mu Yinyin's expression turned exceptionally grave. "Have all the necessary tests been done? I'll go and see her condition."
Li Chuan's expression was extremely solemn. Seeing Mu Yinyin step forward, he took a breath and said, "Yinyin."
Mu Yinyin's steps faltered, and she looked at Li Chuan.
Jiang Ling had been silent the whole time, but his expression was very grave.
Then, Li Chuan said solemnly, "Please, save her."
Mu Yinyin's eyelashes trembled slightly. She knew how important Gu Xiao Qi was to Li Chuan. Even though they hadn't officially confessed, she and Jiang Ling knew they would eventually be together.
Moreover, even without Li Chuan, she and Gu Xiao Qi were sisters for life, inseparable. She would save her!
Mu Yinyin said solemnly, "I will do my best."
With that, she walked in.
Li Chuan pursed his lips and followed immediately.
But… afraid of disturbing anything, he clenched his fist and stopped.
Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment, then stayed outside with Li Chuan. He raised his hand, patted Li Chuan's shoulder, and said slowly, "Xiao Qi is a very important friend to us. Yinyin is here, she'll definitely be fine."
Li Chuan's eyes narrowed, but he still nodded without speaking.
Five minutes later, Mu Yinyin came out. Li Chuan immediately looked at her. Although he didn't say a word, his gaze expressed everything he wanted to know from Mu Yinyin.
Mu Yinyin's expression was grave. After a pause, she said softly, "I've seen her condition, but I need to review the test data again. I'm going to the doctor's office now."
Several doctors were discussing Gu Xiao Qi's condition, but they could only provide supportive care, not a cure. Everyone was still researching what to do.
Li Chuan and Jiang Ling remained silent, immediately following her, their eyes clearly filled with deep worry.
Soon, they entered the office. The doctors were not surprised by Mu Yinyin's appearance.
After all, Mu Yinyin was the leader of Fanxing, and she was good friends with Gu Xiao Qi, so it was natural for her to care about her friend.
The dean immediately greeted Mu Yinyin and the others.
Mu Yinyin nodded and said softly, "Please show me Xiao Qi's lab reports."
The dean immediately gave a look to a doctor, who handed all the lab reports to Mu Yinyin without a word.
They had already said what they needed to say. Saying more now would be like rubbing salt in a wound.
Jiang Ling and Li Chuan did not intend to speak. They didn't even look at the lab reports, their gaze fixed on Mu Yinyin, hoping to gauge something from her expression.
Mu Yinyin's expression was solemn as she carefully examined each item on the lab reports. After ten minutes, she finally said slowly, "I've heard about Xiao Qi's situation. For now, I hope you will continue to sustain her life. I will figure out the rest. We won't abandon the initial conservative treatment during this period."
The dean immediately nodded, "That is naturally what we should do. Please rest assured."
As for what came next… they were likely powerless.
Mu Yinyin nodded, glanced at Jiang Ling and Li Chuan, and signaled for them to come out with her.
Soon, they returned to Gu Xiao Qi's hospital room.
Looking at the still sleeping Gu Xiao Qi, Li Chuan couldn't control himself. He looked at Mu Yinyin and asked hoarsely, "Is there a cure?"
These words, heaven knew how difficult they were for him to say. Even at a normal pace, Mu Yinyin and Jiang Ling could feel how much pain he was in.
Similarly, Jiang Ling was not feeling well either. They had known each other for so many years, and they couldn't afford to lose any of them. No one could withstand such a blow.
Mu Yinyin frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "There is a cure, but a crucial material is missing. A very important material."
"What material!" Li Chuan and Jiang Ling exclaimed in unison.
Mu Yinyin pursed her lips, "Qing Zhu."
Qing Zhu, simply the name, not a green bamboo, but because its appearance was somewhat similar to bamboo, it was given this name.
"Qing Zhu?" Jiang Ling looked confused.
Mu Yinyin paused and then said slowly, "Qing Zhu is very rare, even something rarely encountered in a thousand years. If we have this material, I guarantee Xiao Qi can become a normal person, but this material…"
Li Chuan's eyes lit up. He directly said, "Yes, I know what that is."
Mu Yinyin's expression startled. She looked at Li Chuan with some surprise, "You… know?"
If he knew, and could find it, that would be even better!
