Chapter 569: You cannot enter!

Jiang Feng heard the words and slightly furrowed his brow.

He told Yun Mengrou not to panic and to slowly say what happened.

"I had just seen Anna not long ago when I received a call from the family."

She paused, then continued speaking.

"Grandfather has been receiving the most authoritative treatment at the Military Department General Hospital since the attack, but he has never left danger. To ensure his treatment, the Emperor even mobilized nearly all Grandmaster Physician-level experts in Kyoto from the National Medical Hall and the Imperial Medical Office."

"General Yun's condition had improved at one point, but just half an hour ago it suddenly worsened. Currently most of the Yun family have received the hospital's order, waiting at any moment to see General Yun one last time. Even the Emperor has already arrived at the Military Department General Hospital."

She looked at Jiang Feng, and tears welled up again.

"The special plane here in Jiangcheng is ready; I was about to go to Kyoto myself. But seeing you now, I feel grandfather shouldn't die like this. Jiang Feng, you are his last chance."

Her voice was full of pleading, her eyes full of expectation.

Jiang Feng fell silent for a moment, then declared firmly.

"No problem, I can intervene."

Yun Mengrou's eye sockets instantly reddened, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

She simply nodded firmly, then turned and went inside, grabbing a coat to put on.

"Let's go."

The two left the building, took the elevator, and went downstairs.

A black business car was parked downstairs, sent by the Yun family.

The driver saw Yun Mengrou come out and quickly opened the car door.

The car drove for about forty minutes, arriving at Jiangcheng Airport.

On the airport tarmac, a small special plane was parked, its fuselage painted with the Yun family's emblem. The gangway had been lowered, and several people in black suits waited beside the plane.

Yun Mengrou and Jiang Feng got out of the car and hurried toward the special plane.

As they reached the gangway entrance, two officers in Provincial Government military uniforms blocked them.

The two officers were stalwart, with straight waists and sharp eyes.

Their hands rested on the holsters at their waists, giving an air of strict official duty.

One officer stepped forward, extended his hand, and blocked Jiang Feng.

"Sorry, sir, you cannot board the plane."

His tone was hard, leaving no room for negotiation.

Yun Mengrou frowned.

"He's my friend, going with me to Kyoto."

The officer shook his head.

"Miss Yun, the special plane has a strict passenger list. This gentleman isn't on it, so we can't let him through. This is the regulation from above; please understand."

Yun Mengrou's face darkened.

"If anything happens, I'll take responsibility. Let him go up."

The officer still shook his head.

"Sorry, Miss Yun. Rules are rules; without being on the list, no one can board."

His tone was firm, giving no face at all.

Yun Mengrou's face flushed with anger, about to explode.

At that moment, a sudden angry shout came from nearby.

"Who allowed you to block Divine Doctor Jiang!"

That voice was loud and imposing, echoing across the tarmac.

Everyone turned to look.

A stalwart middle-aged man quickly walked over.

The two officers saw the arrival, their faces changed, and they hastily stood at attention and saluted.

"General Deng!"

The arrival was Provincial Government Military General Deng Guangxu.

Deng Guangxu didn't look at those two officers, but walked straight to Jiang Feng with a respectful attitude.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Feng shook his head.

Deng Guangxu turned around, looked at the two officers, and his face darkened.

"You two have a lot of nerve! Divine Doctor Jiang is the life-saving benefactor of Huo Lao, and you dare to block him?"

His voice was loud, carrying a hint of anger.

The two officers' faces instantly turned pale, fine sweat beading on their foreheads. They opened their mouths, wanting to explain, but didn't know what to say.

Deng Guangxu continued speaking.

"Not to mention this special plane; even if it were a military department special plane, no one could stop Divine Doctor Jiang from going wherever he wishes!"

The two officers hastily lowered their heads, repeatedly apologizing to Jiang Feng.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, sorry, we have eyes but fail to recognize Mount Tai; please forgive us."

Their voices trembled.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, saying nothing.

Deng Guangxu turned around and said to Jiang Feng.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, please board the plane. If you need anything, just give the order."

Jiang Feng nodded, and together with Yun Mengrou he boarded the gangway.

Deng Guangxu stood below, looking at Jiang Feng's back, his eyes full of respect.

Huo Lao's life-saving benefactor—that's a favor owed by the entire Provincial Government military.

The two colonels stood there, their legs gone weak.

Just now they weren't stopping just anyone—they were stopping Huo Lao's life-saving benefactor.

If Huo Lao found out about this, their military careers would be over.

Deng Guangxu glanced at them and let out a cold snort.

"Next time, keep your eyes open."

The two colonels nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a sound.

Jiang Feng and Yun Mengrou boarded the special plane and took their seats.

Soon, the plane began to taxi, then accelerated and took off.

The plane shot into the night sky; the city lights outside the window grew smaller and finally became a blur of light.

The plane flew in the night sky for about two hours, then began its descent.

Through the window, one could see below a city blazing with lights.

That was Kyoto, the capital of the empire.

The plane landed at Jingdu Junyong Jichang.

On the tarmac, several black sedans were parked, their headlights on.

Several people in black suits stood beside the cars, their expressions solemn.

Yun Mengrou and Jiang Feng disembarked from the plane and got into one of the vehicles.

The car started up, drove out of the airport, and headed toward the Military Department General Hospital.

The car drove for about forty minutes and arrived at the Military Department General Hospital.

The hospital building was tall and brightly lit.

Armed soldiers guarded the entrance, security tight; everyone entering or leaving had to undergo strict inspection.

Yun Mengrou showed her credentials, and the soldiers immediately let her through.

The two hurried into the hospital building, took the elevator, and went up to the floor where the intensive surgery room was located.

The elevator doors opened onto a long corridor.

The corridor was brightly lit, filled with doctors and nurses in white coats rushing back and forth.

Their expressions were grave, the atmosphere tense.

Yun Mengrou and Jiang Feng hurried toward the intensive surgery room.

At the door of the intensive surgery room, a group of people stood.

Leading them was a middle-aged man about fifty, wearing a dark suit, his hair neatly combed, his face showing fatigue and anxiety.

His features resembled Yun Mengrou's somewhat; he was her father, Yun Haitao.

Behind Yun Haitao stood several others, male and female, all core members of the Yun family. Seeing Yun Mengrou approach, Yun Haitao hurried forward to meet her.

"Mengrou, you've come."

His voice was hoarse, tinged with fatigue.

Yun Mengrou grabbed her father's hand and asked urgently.

"Dad, how is Grandfather?"

Yun Haitao shook his head, his voice low.

"The situation isn't good. The doctors are trying to save him inside, but… the prospects aren't great."

His eyes reddened, his voice choking.

"The Emperor is also inside, personally overseeing."

Yun Mengrou's tears welled up instantly.

She turned, grabbed Jiang Feng's hand, and said urgently.

"Jiang Feng, hurry in and save Grandfather! You're the Divine Doctor—you must have a way!"

Only then did Yun Haitao notice Jiang Feng, sizing him up from head to toe.

"Who is this?"

Yun Mengrou said.

"Dad, this is Jiang Feng, the Divine Doctor. He definitely can save Grandfather!"

Yun Haitao's eyes lit up briefly, then dimmed again.

"Mengrou, it's not that I don't want to let him in. The doctors inside are Grandmaster Physicians from the National Medical Hall and the Imperial Medical Office; they're already doing everything they can. Moreover, the Emperor is inside, and without his permission, outsiders cannot enter."

Yun Mengrou grew anxious.

"Dad, Grandfather can't wait! Let me bring him in!"

Yun Haitao clenched his teeth, about to speak.

Just then, the door of the intensive surgery room opened.

A doctor in a white coat stepped out, removed his mask, his face grave.

Yun Haitao hurried forward.

"Doctor Zhao, how is my father?"

Doctor Zhao shook his head.

"The situation is not optimistic. We've done all we can, but the old general's injuries are too severe, I'm afraid…"

He didn't finish, but the meaning was already clear.

Yun Haitao's body swayed, and he nearly collapsed.

Yun Mengrou helped her father up, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Jiang Feng didn't say much, immediately about to enter the operating room, but someone blocked his way.

Then, a dark, eerie voice rang out.

"Wait...... you can't go in!"
