"Qi Nan, come here quickly," Lu Yiming called into his communicator.
Qi Nan, following behind, hurried over. After checking Yu He's condition and performing emergency treatment for cardiac arrest on-site, she was rushed to the hospital operating room.
After seeing them off, Lu Yiming approached the ticking bomb. Even with a gas mask, he could smell a strong burning odor.
All the wires of the bomb were still intact, but the casing of the display had been severely burned, along with the adjacent server.
The server's current had been forcefully used to short-circuit the bomb, burning out its power source. It was a brutal and dangerous method to prevent the explosion, one he had never witnessed before.
Sister-in-law was truly formidable!
Such an action, if not precisely controlled, could directly detonate the bomb, obliterating everything. Even if successful, the current from the short circuit posed a grave risk to the human body, with potential for immediate fatality.
Thinking of Yu He's demeanor just moments ago, he felt a surge of respect.
Had she not stopped the bomb, with the explosive power of this model, the entire building would have collapsed, endangering the lives of tens of thousands of guests and staff.
He silently prayed in his heart, "Sister-in-law, you must hold on!"
The explosion at the Huang Corporation's 50th birthday banquet made international news. Because of this incident, the Huang Corporation, on its own, had managed to offend affluent families across the nation.
The next day, as soon as the stock market opened, the Qin Corporation's stock began to plummet, experiencing three consecutive days of limit down.
Qin Yonghao, the CEO of Qin Corporation, was suspended by the chairman for investigation. The CEO's wife, Huang Ying, was removed from her position and detained by the police as a suspect for investigation. The financial director, Qin Xinhui, was missing. The Qin family was in utter chaos.
Three days later, Xiehe Hospital.
Outside the intensive care unit.
"Qin Corporation's stock price has hit a new low. This price is very suitable for buying. Brother, do you want to buy some?" Ye Zi Zheng was scrolling through stock trends on his phone.
Ye Qichen looked through the glass window at Yu He on the hospital bed, connected to a ventilator and various tubes. Her left hand was bandaged, and she had been lying motionless for over two days.
The heart rate and blood pressure on the monitor had remained at their lowest readings. Only the mist from the oxygen mask indicated she was still breathing.
Qi Nan had said that although the rescue was timely, the electric current had caused damage to her body. If she didn't wake up within seventy-two hours, she could very likely become a vegetative state.
With seventy hours already passed, he was worried, in no mood to appreciate how poorly Qin Corporation's stock was performing.
"You still want to buy if it's falling? To subsidize them?"
"Sister told me to buy it," Ye Zi Zheng said earnestly.
He stood on tiptoe, gazing at the person inside the glass. His sister was clearly very capable, so why was she taking so long to wake up this time?
Was it because he hadn't bought Qin Corporation's stock yet, and that's why she couldn't wake up?
Ye Qichen gave him a suspicious glance. Seeing that he didn't believe him, Ye Zi Zheng insisted, "Last time, I bought Qi family stocks and made a million, split it with her half, and she even praised me for being capable and told me to pay attention to Qin Corporation's stocks. She said they would fall after a while, and I should buy some then. Now is a good time to buy Qin Corporation at this low price."
As he spoke, he began to operate. "When Sister wakes up, she'll be able to earn tens of millions by just lying there."
If Yu He said Qin Corporation's stock would fall, Ye Qichen would believe it. But that she praised Ye Zi Zheng for being capable was something he couldn't believe at all.
After Ye Zi Zheng made three purchases, he looked up at Ye Qichen and said, "You're not buying? Lend me some money, I want to add more to my position. I'll give you ten percent then."
Fifty-fifty with his sister, but only ten percent for his brother!
What a stingy guy!
But for Yu He's sake, Ye Qichen opened his banking app. "How much?"
"A few hundred million," Ye Zi Zheng said.
Ye Qichen: ??????
Ye Qichen thought he misheard. "How much?"
"One or two hundred million," Ye Zi Zheng gave an approximate figure.
Seeing Ye Qichen's expression of "Are you kidding me?", Ye Zi Zheng said with disdain, "Don't have it? No way! You've been out starting your own business for how many years, and you can't even come up with one or two hundred million?"
"Who is so foolish as to keep hundreds of millions in cash flow? I only have five million."
Ye Qichen was speechless. His personal assets combined were well over two or three hundred million. He wasn't that stupid to keep so much cash on hand, waiting for it to depreciate, instead of investing it?
"My sister transferred three hundred million to me earlier," Ye Zi Zheng said sinisterly. "When Sister wakes up, I'll tell her that you called her stupid!"
"Cough, I meant others are foolish, but Xiao He is just rich and powerful!" Ye Qichen immediately changed his tune.
"Heh, too late. I've already recorded it. When Sister wakes up, I'll show it to her!" Ye Zi Zheng said, holding up his phone. "Unless you give me five million, I won't tell her."
"..."
Ye Qichen looked at the glass window and suddenly said with a heavy heart, "As long as she wakes up, you can say whatever you want."
Hearing this, Ye Zi Zheng's threatening expression instantly collapsed. He turned and leaned against the glass window, looking at the person inside, his lips pressed tightly together.
He had already bought the Qin family stocks. Why wasn't his sister waking up yet?
When Qi Nan arrived, he happened to see Ye Qichen, Ye Zi Zheng, and Cheng Lizhu lined up, leaning against the glass window, anxiously watching the person in the ICU. The scene was both comical and heartbreaking.
"Mom! Brother! I just saw Sister's finger move!" Ye Zi Zheng suddenly shouted.
"I think I saw it too!" Cheng Lizhu's eyes widened.
"I'll go get the doctor." As Ye Qichen turned, he saw Qi Nan and quickly asked him to open the door and go in to check.
Qi Nan changed into a sterile gown and hurried in with a few doctors and nurses. They opened the ICU door.
After a thorough examination and dressing change, Yu He finally woke up in the afternoon. She was transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward.
"Hehe, you're finally awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Cheng Lizhu sat by the bedside, her eyes welling up uncontrollably as she looked at her pale daughter.
She couldn't imagine the terrifying scene her daughter had faced at that time.
She had almost never seen her daughter again.
"Mom, I'm fine. Don't cry," Yu He tried to wipe away her tears with her hand, only to realize her left hand was bandaged. She switched to her right hand.
"Mom is just so happy. Fortunately, you're okay." Cheng Lizhu haphazardly wiped her tears and carefully held her daughter's hand, afraid of disturbing the IV drip on her hand.
"Sister, I knew you would wake up!" Ye Zi Zheng leaned over the bed and said, "Let me tell you, Qin family's stock has been limit down for three consecutive days. I've already bought three hundred million for you. Brother also said you..."
Ye Qichen hadn't expected this brat to tattle so quickly. His sister needed rest, and he needed to maintain his image as an elder brother. He immediately pulled Ye Zi Zheng aside and whispered, "Five million. I'll transfer it to you later."
"Six million!" Ye Zi Zheng seized the opportunity.
To maintain his image in his sister's eyes, Ye Qichen gritted his teeth. "Fine!"
"Transfer it now!" Ye Zi Zheng added, giving him a look that said if he didn't, he'd immediately tell his sister.
Ye Qichen endured the humiliation and took out his phone to complete the transaction.
After Ye Zi Zheng confirmed he had received the money, he returned to the bedside. "Sister, Brother said you have so much money left to spend, and you'll definitely wake up, otherwise no one will spend it for you."
Ye Qichen:!
When did I say that?
Yu He looked at the two of them bickering and suddenly felt that being alive was wonderful.
She smiled and scanned the room. She didn't see the person she most wanted to see. She wanted to speak, but found her throat dry and hoarse, unable to make a sound.
