Chapter 1555: Chapter 1548: Asking the Gentleman into the Urn (6)
Because Lu Weixi gave birth at the county hospital, which isn’t even a top-tier facility, the dical conditions were very poor. Coming from there, even racing at full speed, it would still delay things by nearly an hour. With all that ti adding up, it’s no wonder her situation beca life-threatening.
Zhao Zihao finally believed it sowhat. His face still carried an expression of deep worry: “That really is tough. Giving birth is already like walking through the Ghost Gate, and now there’s the complication with the child.”
The nurse nodded as well: “Who says it isn’t? Sigh, at first, everyone envied her, saying her husband might fool around outside, but at least she’s a wealthy woman of high status. Who would’ve thought she’d end up in this ss, kidnapped when she wasn’t careful. Though she was rescued, no one knows if she’ll even survive. What’s the use of having all the money in the world, then?”
Zhao Zihao exchanged a few words, and the nurse left the room.
Zhao Zihao opened his coffee and stood by the window, looking out. The obstetrics ward was on the fourth floor, and the cardiology departnt was on the third. He couldn’t see what was happening over there. All he could see, even in the middle of the night, was that the lights over there were blazing brightly.
He took a sip of coffee—pure black coffee, intensely bitter, its bitterness spreading down to the depths of his heart. Yet his eyes shone with an unmistakable gleam.
Truthfully, he hadn’t slept much over the past several days either, but his mind was brimming with excitent.
If Qin Zhiyou’s lifelong ambition was to reclaim and glorify Hanhai, then Zhao Zihao’s aspiration all these years was to utterly destroy him with his own hands! He didn’t know exactly who was responsible for his mother’s demise. Maybe it was Yang Mogui, maybe it was Qin Weijian, or perhaps it was so careless mistake by Qin Weizang. But no matter who it was, the Qin Family could not escape culpability.
For that reason, he had endured for so many years. No matter the circumstances, he could not let go of his pursuit of vengeance. He felt guilt over what happened to Lu Weixi. While he hadn’t orchestrated the entire incident, he’d provided those two kidnappers with so subtle inducents and conveniences. It wasn’t much, and even if he were caught, no charges could stick, but there was no denying he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Yet the bla also lay with her. She had clearly divorced Qin Zhiyou, yet sohow they still found their way back to each other, dragging herself back into this whirlpool of chaos.

That night, in Yan City, the sky was cloudless and cool, but fate ensured that inside and out, storm winds and bloody tempests were inevitable.
Zhao Zihao displayed extraordinary patience. Though he had spent the entire night at the hospital, ticulously arranging everything in advance, there had been no movent on this side. Thus, he remained calm and immobile.
The obstetrics and cardiology wards were brightly lit the whole ti, but apart from the initial visit from the nurse, not a single word of news leaked out. He had been here from 12:30 in the night until now, 6 in the morning. Seven o’clock was the usual ti for hospitals to start issuing appointnt numbers; a new day was beginning.
Typically, from midnight to now, six hours would be enough for any major surgery to conclude. Even for Lu Weixi and the child’s surgeries, starting in the early hours at 2 a.m., whether they lived or died, there should already have been a decision by now.
As this window of ti passed, Zhao Zihao decided to step out. At this mont, if one wanted to uncover any information, there was no need to linger outside the operating room. The best spot to catch news would be the hospital’s cafeteria downstairs. But as soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw a commotion—an entire crowd had already gathered there. At the center of the conflict stood a pair: the man was Qin Zhiyou, but the woman wasn’t Lu Weixi. It was Xue Feifei.
Lu Weixi’s disappearance over the past few days had caused absolute chaos. Xue Feifei, originally working out of town, dropped everything and canceled all her engagents upon hearing the news. As soon as she returned, her destination was none other than this hospital. When Zhao Zihao ca downstairs, what greeted him was the sight of Xue Feifei slapping Qin Zhiyou across the face.
