"Miss Yan, Song Qinglong has been captured."
It was a call from Officer Chen.
Yan Yueqing was reading so materials when she heard the news and suddenly stood up from her desk, startling her father and brothers.
"Really? He’s finally been netted!" Her joy ca from deep within.
But there was a slight pause in Officer Chen’s tone.
Yan Yueqing sensed sothing was wrong and frowned deeply, "What’s happened?"
"It’s..." Officer Chen took a deep breath, "It’s Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao has been seriously injured."
Yan Yueqing: !!!
"What? How did that happen?"
"It’s a bit complicated to explain over the phone," Officer Chen said sowhat vaguely.
Yueqing got it imdiately: "Where are you guys? I’m coming over now."
"Municipal People’s Hospital of Yun x City..." Officer Chen quickly relayed an address, "We’ve already contacted Xiaoxiao’s mother, and she’s on her way here."
"Understood, I’ll be there shortly. Keep in touch."
Yan Yueqing hung up the phone with a grave expression.
Jun Lii stood up: "Where is it? Should I arrange a car or a plane?"
"We need to go to Yun x City," Yan Yueqing replied concisely. "Xiaoxiao is seriously injured."
Yan Wang and Jun Yan could guess that it was trouble on Sister Xiaoxiao’s end, but they didn’t expect her to be seriously injured.
Yan Yueqing felt a bit anxious inside. Officer Chen was a man who handled things with great asure, and considering his age, she had never seen him show any significant emotional fluctuations in their interactions.
Yet, this ti on the call, he was vague and referred to Xiaoxiao’s condition with such gravity.
Even Sister Mansheng had been called over...
It likely ant that the situation was indeed very serious.
The steady voice of Jun Lii was like a wall of stability: "Ten minutes, I’ll make the arrangents. You take the children and pack the necessities first."
"Alright."
Sohow, the originally anxious Yueqing miraculously cald down upon hearing Jun Lii’s words.
"Yan Bao, Yanbao, take your suitcases with you. I’m going upstairs to grab so things; we’ll leave together in ten minutes."
Last ti during a parent-child event, Yan Yueqing had specifically bought small suitcases for her two sons to choose and pack whatever they needed, not expecting them to co in handy so soon.
Yan Yueqing went upstairs to grab a few essentials, and by the ti she ca downstairs, Butler Zhong had already arranged the car.
The family neatly headed to the airport and took Jun Lii’s private jet to Yun City.
Two hours later, they arrived at the hospital where Song Xiaoxiao was.
The night had deepened, and there were not many people outside the operating room.
The red light at the door kept shining, a stark and alarming sight.
Officer Chen, Officer Xiao Xu, Jun Chi, and an unfamiliar middle-aged man stood guard outside together.
Nobody spoke or exchanged words, even their breathing was intentionally slowed down a notch.
The atmosphere was extrely solemn.
Seeing them arrive, Officer Chen was the first to bow his head, seemingly apologetic: "I’m sorry, Miss Yan, for troubling you to co all this way."
"How is the situation?" Yan Yueqing couldn’t afford to exchange pleasantries, staring at the red light of the operating room with an inexplicable sense of dread.
"It’s already been three hours since they took her into surgery... The doctor ca out twice to issue critical condition notices..."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yueqing looked at Jun Lii, "Has Xiao Yi arrived?"
"He should be here soon. He contacted the dean and ntioned that Xiaoxiao’s injury is mainly to her spine. He specifically called for skilled professionals from both neurology and orthopedics to co over; they should be around five minutes behind us."
They had discussed this issue on the road—whenever soone is injured, the first person that cos to mind is Xiao Yi.
Fortunately, the guy was still nearby in Yun City, foraging for mushrooms, and hadn’t had ti to return to the imperial capital or Magic Capital; otherwise... they really would have had to take a detour.
The chubby middle-aged man standing among them spoke up, "Mr. Jun, Miss Yan, Mr. Xiao said he will be here montarily. Why don’t you folks sit in the office for now? The wind is strong at night, and it’s easy to catch a cold waiting outside."
As he spoke, he glanced inadvertently at the two children behind him, his eyes filled with compassion.
"This is Dean Hou. Mr. Xiao has been in touch with him," Officer Chen took the initiative to explain.
Yan Yueqing nodded, "Dean Hou, I’m sorry to have you co out this late at night."
"Not at all, not at all! It’s our honor to have Divine Hand Xiao perform a surgery in our hospital! It doesn’t matter if it’s ten at night or three or four in the morning, I would still make sure to co!"
With a heart devoted to the dical profession, he felt a twinge of regret after saying this, "Of course, what I truly hope for is that everyone stays safe and sound and that the hospital remains a re backdrop."
Yan Yueqing nodded and inquired about Song Xiaoxiao’s condition.
Dean Hou said, "Right now, our orthopedics departnt is in the operating room. Teachers from the neurology departnt have also looked at her, but the readings on the films aren’t good. The poor girl fell from a great height; she has multiple fractures, but the most troubling issue is her spine...
Not to hide anything from you... our own teachers do not have Teacher Xiao’s skills. We are really worried about performing the surgery on a child and potentially causing lasting damage... so we have hesitated to make the first cut."
The others expressed their understanding.
The dean’s words were heartfelt.
As they were speaking, Xiao Yi had already arrived, jogging over with two young n.
"Uncle Xiao," Jun Yan, with sharp eyes, quickly waved his hand.
Xiao Yi was panting as he nodded to them, "How is the patient doing?"
Dean Hou looked at him, his eyes shining, "Teacher Xiao, ti waits for no one. Let’s go inside to talk."
"Alright."
After watching Dean Hou lead Xiao Yi and the two young n into the operating room, Yan Yueqing finally relaxed her tightly knit brows.
"Officer Chen, let’s talk in the office."
"Hmm."
Although the hallway was empty, it was still better to discuss these matters quietly.
No sooner had they entered the office than she received an anxious call from Du Mansheng, "Yueqing, how is Xiaoxiao?"
"Xiao Yi has arrived with the specialists, and they’ve all entered the operating room together. We can’t go in, so we have no choice but to wait for news outside. But with Xiao Yi here, Sister Mansheng, you don’t need to be too anxious."
Du Mansheng’s voice trembled, "I’ve just landed and am on my way now."
"Alright, we’re in the doctors’ office. I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any further news."
Du Mansheng was in City C without a private plane; even if she purchased the nearest flight, she would have arrived later than them.
As a mother, even without a blood relation, how could she just let go of a child she had raised for so many years?
Everyone knew what Song Xiaoxiao could face traveling abroad with Song Qinglong.
Even with the most thorough preparations, they still ended up receiving the news of her serious injury.
"Fell from a high place, spine injured?" Yan Yueqing turned to Officer Chen, "What exactly happened?"
Officer Chen was very apologetic, "I’m sorry, we thought we had arranged enough manpower... but we still underestimated how ruthless Song Qinglong could be..."
Jun Chi, who had been silent and solemn, spoke up, "He pushed Xiaoxiao off a cliff."
