"The Lin family—" Gu Qichen's eyes flashed, a fierceness on his face. "Lin Lei?"
At Mrs. Ming's birthday banquet last time, he had helped Qin He "return" that piece of land to the Lin family.
He had been clear about this matter at the time. The root cause was Lin Lei's jealousy of the Ming family, which led him to set a trap and cheat the Ming family out of thirty billion, directly causing Ming's to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Gu Qichen slowly raised his head, his ink-black eyes suppressing a brutal aura.
The next day.
In the Ming family's living room, Ming Yusheng roared!
"Qing'er is in such a bad state, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Fang Meiyan tried to placate him, "Sister said that you wear your emotions on your sleeve. If you knew Qing'er might not wake up, you would show it on your face. Then Mom would know, and how could she bear such a shock?"
Ming Yusheng had been worried sick about Qin He for days, only to discover now that Qin He wasn't simply recuperating from a serious injury.
The current situation was that the person couldn't wake up!
"I will absolutely not let that scumbag Lin Lei off the hook!" Ming Yusheng grabbed a baseball bat from the living room and rushed out.
Fang Meiyan was furious and immediately ordered Ming Chi, who was nearby, "Go stop your father!"
What happened today was overheard by Ming Yusheng when Ming Chi was making a phone call to the doctor.
Ming Chi rushed forward and grabbed Ming Yusheng's arm.
"Dad, calm down!"
"Lin Lei has harmed your sister to this extent, and you tell me to calm down? I think you're the calm one, you ungrateful brat!"
Fang Meiyan stomped her feet in anger, "Can you keep your voice down? Mom is still sleeping upstairs. If she finds out, how can her heart take it!"
Ming Yusheng gritted his teeth and stopped speaking, rushing out with his head down.
Ming Chi, in trying to stop him, took two kicks.
"Ming Yusheng, you're going to charge into the Lin family with a baseball bat to beat someone? Lin Lei will immediately call the police and have you arrested. Then you'll have witnesses and evidence!" Fang Meiyan covered her head. "Can you stop being foolish! Sister and Xiao Yun are both at the hospital watching over Xiao He. If something happens to you now, won't you just add to their troubles?!"
Ming Yusheng finally stopped in his tracks.
Fang Meiyan was extremely angry, "Go, go ahead. At worst, our two families will be enemies. Let Lin Lei pop champagne at home!"
Ming Yusheng turned and headed upstairs.
Fang Meiyan glared, "Where are you going?"
"You're right, a baseball bat isn't that powerful. In the secret compartment in my study, there's—"
"Ming Yusheng!" Fang Meiyan roared, completely losing her usual gentle demeanor. Her voice was sharp, "Get back down here!"
Ming Yusheng looked at Fang Meiyan, then at his shocked son: ...
Was he losing face in front of his son by being afraid of his wife?
Ming Yusheng's anger was at its peak, and he was in a dilemma when his mobile phone on the table rang.
Fang Meiyan answered the call.
"What? How could this happen?!"
One minute later, Fang Meiyan hung up the phone, her face full of shock. "You don't need to go."
"What is it?" Ming Yusheng frowned.
"The Lin family was set on fire last night. Besides Lin Lei's two children, Lin Lei and his wife were severely injured in the fire and are now in critical condition in the hospital."
Ming Chi frowned, "What about the Lin family's servants?"
Fang Meiyan looked at Ming Chi meaningfully, "Only Lin Lei and his wife were burned; everyone else is safe."
Ming Chi fell silent, thinking.
"Gu Qichen acted even faster than us."
"How are you sure it was Gu Qichen?" Fang Meiyan thought for a moment and asked her son.
Ming Chi chuckled, "Mom, you've been staying in Haicheng. I lived in Qingcheng for a while before, so I know a little about this Gu Qichen."
"What Gu Qichen, don't mention his name!" Ming Yusheng roared from the side, "If it weren't for him, your sister wouldn't have..."
"What does he have to do with it?" Fang Meiyan suddenly interjected.
Ming Chi and Ming Yusheng were both stunned.
Fang Meiyan's expression turned stern, "If it weren't for Gu Qichen, wouldn't Lin Lei have hated Qing'er? In the final analysis, you were foolish to fall for Lin Lei's trick. Afterwards, Qing'er stood up for you, which earned his hatred. This time, Lin Lei must have known early on that Qing'er was coming to Haicheng and set a trap. Even if Gu Qichen hadn't taken Qing'er out, wouldn't Qing'er have gone out eventually? Even if she didn't go out, a scoundrel like Lin Lei would find other ways."
Her words silenced Ming Yusheng.
Ming Chi frowned, deep in thought.
"When the Ming Group faced such a huge crisis, it was Qing'er who helped us, but at that time, Gu Qichen also cooperated by transporting so much gold."
Fang Meiyan said seriously, "Strictly speaking, Gu Qichen has also helped the Ming family. He wronged Qing'er in the past in terms of their relationship, but you can't blame him for everything. The real responsibility for this incident should lie with us, the Ming family!"
"If Qing'er doesn't wake up, I'll take care of her for the rest of my life!" Fang Meiyan clenched her fists.
Ming Yusheng pondered for a while, then frowned and looked at Fang Meiyan, "What you say makes sense, but why are you speaking up for Gu Qichen?"
Fang Meiyan's eyes flickered, "Do you think Qing'er is someone who would go with just anyone? Last time at Mom's birthday banquet, Gu Qichen took Qing'er away once, and it's happening again. I think their fate together isn't over yet."
"Impossible!" Ming Yusheng waved his hand, "I hate Gu Qichen! He bullied Qing'er so much before!"
Fang Meiyan let out a cold laugh, knowing her husband wouldn't listen to reason.
"Alright, I'll go to the hospital to see Qing'er. Ming Chi, when you have time, analyze this with Xiao Yun."
Fang Meiyan sighed, "Even if not for anything else, having one more person thinking of ways for Qing'er is also an opportunity."
Ming Chi responded thoughtfully.
...
Haicheng First Hospital, lunchtime.
Dr. Liu walked to the hospital entrance and tremblingly got into a black Bentley.
After getting into the car, he felt as if the temperature had dropped by several degrees.
The man in the back seat exuded such an oppressive aura that he felt afraid to look back, his neck stiffening.
"You mean her condition hasn't improved at all?" a cold, distant voice came from the back seat.
Dr. Liu clutched his hands nervously, "Currently, the drugs being used are already top-tier. This—Sir, sometimes—"
He hesitated to continue.
The voice spoke again, "What."
Dr. Liu felt the pressure from the back seat and said in a low voice, "Sometimes we doctors can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. Miss Qin, Miss Qin still has a chance to wake up, Sir. Perhaps you could be more patient..."
"Just wait like this?" Gu Qichen's voice was chilling.
Dr. Liu felt like crying, "Sir, the people treating Miss Qin recently are all top medical professors."
