Xiao Yanzhi was being rescued in the intensive care unit.
Midway, the doctor came out once and said that Xiao Yanzhi had been stabbed in a vital area, very close to the heart. The success rate of the rescue was very low. They were currently urgently contacting experts in this field.
Xue An's face turned deathly pale. He paced back and forth in front of the operating room, staring at the red operating light. After hesitating for a long time, he still informed the old chairman, Xiao Yuanfeng, briefly explaining the situation.
This was a life - threatening matter. As an assistant, he couldn't make the decision on his own.
Rushing to the hospital with Xiao Yuanfeng was Qiao Jinrun.
"Xue An, how is A Yan?" Xiao Yuanfeng was in his fifties, but his aura was still imposing.
Xue An lowered his head and replied, "He's still being rescued inside."
Xiao Yuanfeng had seen many storms. There wasn't much worry on his face at the moment. He just nodded slightly, then turned to look at Qiao Jinrun. "Doctor Qiao, I'm counting on you."
"How is Jiang Li now?" Qiao Jinrun seized the opportunity to ask another question.
Xue An was stunned for a second, then quickly replied, "She's also seriously injured, but there's no danger to her life."
Maybe it was just an illusion, but Xue An seemed to hear Qiao Jinrun heave a sigh of relief.
On the operating table.
Qiao Jinrun put on the surgical gown and quietly looked at Xiao Yanzhi lying on the operating table. For a moment, he felt a flood of emotions.
He was extremely talented in surgical operations, but he still hoped not to see familiar faces on the operating table.
He had prayed for Jiang Li's safety.
His wish had come true.
It was Xiao Yanzhi who had taken her place and was lying here.
Qiao Jinrun smiled under his mask. He couldn't help thinking that it was quite dramatic that one day he would personally save his love rival.
...
Jiang Li was in a coma for a long time.
During her coma, she was not very peaceful. She had repeated high fevers, and from time to time, she would scream, cry, and shed tears.
The doctor said it was post - traumatic stress disorder and gave her several sedatives.
Even so, Jing Yi and Xiao Ye, who were keeping watch at her bedside, felt extremely heart - broken. They couldn't bear to watch several times.
Xiao Ye was even more remorseful. She blamed herself for not going with Jiang Li to Cheng Yingchun's place at that time. Maybe the result would have been different.
Sister Chen comforted Xiao Ye, "If you had gone with her, you would have been a burden to her. She would have worried about you more than herself."
This was true.
No one knew what had happened to Jiang Li in that pitch - black space during those few hours.
"She's very strong and brave," Xiao Ye sniffed, her voice choking. "When Sister Jiang Li wakes up, I'll never talk back to her again."
Jing Yi also vowed, "When she wakes up, I'll cook delicious food for Sister Jiang Li every day. I won't let her lose weight anymore."
Sister Chen couldn't help laughing.
She turned to look at Jiang Li sleeping on the bed and thought silently.
Jiang Li, wake up quickly.
There are so many people who worry about you and love you. You won't be alone anymore.
Wake up quickly.
---
It took several days for Jiang Li's fever to subside. The doctor said she would wake up in a few days.
Hearing this news, the few of them were overjoyed. They wished they could stay by the bedside all the time, just waiting for Jiang Li to wake up.
When Cheng Yingchun heard that Jiang Li had been rescued, she clamored to come and visit her, but was stopped by Sheng Shuocheng, who said that Jiang Li hadn't woken up yet and it was useless for her to go.
Cheng Yingchun compromised but urged Sheng Shuocheng to go and see Jiang Li.
Sheng Shuocheng of course wanted to visit, but he was patient. He wanted to bring Shang Zewen to justice before Jiang Li woke up.
Because Shang Zewen was a foreign national, it was a bit difficult to make him confess his crime. Moreover, Xiao Yanzhi had injured him with a brick at that time, and now he was demanding to sue Xiao Yanzhi for intentional injury.
In the interrogation room, Shang Zewen looked fearless. Dressed in a suit and shirt, he still shouted loudly, "I demand protection! I demand to sue Xiao Yanzhi!"
"You're suspected of sexually assaulting a woman and attempted murder. What right do you have to sue Xiao Yanzhi?"
Shang Zewen shrugged indifferently. "I sexually assaulted a woman? Did Jiang Li tell you that personally? Attempted murder? Come on, please figure it out. It was he who hit me with a brick first!"
...
At the police station, Sheng Shuocheng stood outside. The police reported the progress to him. "Both parties are currently in a coma, so we can't charge him. We can only detain him."
Zhang Yi stepped forward and whispered some information to Sheng Shuocheng. "Shang Zewen has mania, which is a type of mental illness. According to his previous experience of hurting women, he should later demand a mental health certificate and then use his mental illness as an excuse to avoid responsibility."
Sheng Shuocheng sneered.
He was indeed a troublesome character.
At the hospital.
Jiang Li woke up suddenly.
When she opened her eyes, there was no sound at all, so neither Jing Yi nor Xiao Ye noticed.
Her eyes were still blood - shot and she could hardly see clearly. She could only see the vague outline of a human figure. Her mind was also dull. It took her a while to gradually recall everything.
She opened her mouth. Her dry lips were torn, and blood flowed out.
She couldn't make a sound. She let out a soft groan.
Sister Chen and Jing Yi had gone back to cook. Xiao Ye, who was guarding the room, heard the noise and looked up. When she met Jiang Li's dazed eyes, she almost burst into tears.
"Sister Jiang Li!" She cried and was about to rush over, but suddenly stopped. She wailed, "You're finally awake..."
Jiang Li opened her mouth and slowly and silently said two words: water.
Xiao Ye laughed through her tears and quickly agreed. She immediately happily went out to fetch water for Jiang Li and bumped into Qiao Jinrun who was rushing over.
These days, he had been trying to save Xiao Yanzhi. His eyes were blood - shot.
Today, Xiao Yanzhi's condition had improved a bit, so he was able to spare some time to come and see Jiang Li.
"Doctor Qiao, Sister Jiang Li is awake!" Xiao Ye was so excited that she wanted to announce this news to the whole world. "She wants water. I'm going to get some hot water for her."
Walking into the ward, he met the pale - faced woman lying on the bed.
It was like a long - awaited reunion and also like a first encounter.
He stared at Jiang Li intently.
Clearly, she was still the same person, but he could still feel that there was something different about her.
Jiang Li's vision hadn't recovered yet. She could only judge by perception that a man had come in.
"Awake?" Qiao Jinrun's voice was gentle. He noticed that her eyes were listless. "Can you see clearly?"
So it was Doctor Qiao.
Jiang Li nodded and then shook her head.
Qiao Jinrun understood what she meant and summarized for her. "You can sense things, but you can't see clearly."
Jiang Li nodded gratefully.
Qiao Jinrun asked, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang Li shook her head. She had just woken up and her stomach didn't feel anything yet.
Qiao Jinrun asked, "Are you thirsty?"
Jiang Li nodded this time.
Qiao Jinrun said seriously, "You can't drink."
Jiang Li:...
As soon as she woke up, her throat felt like it was on fire and urgently needed water to moisten it.
But Qiao Jinrun said she couldn't drink water. What did that mean!
Jiang Li glared at him angrily.
