Chapter 81: Dead Man, Can He Bring Him Back to Life?

Huo Dongchen rushed out of the hospital building as if he were mad.

When he reached the ground floor, he gasped heavily, and darkness flickered before his eyes.

Having run down from the 12th floor, plus days of staying up, his stamina had long been exhausted to the limit.

"Mr. Huo? Why did you run down? How is Huo Lao's condition?"

A familiar voice came, and Huo Dongchen snapped his head up.

He saw Lu Shanqing and Sun Boyong standing at the entrance of the lobby.

Huo Dongchen seemed to clutch the last straw of salvation, stumbling forward.

His legs gave way, and with a thud he collapsed onto the floor tiles, his hands gripping Lu Shanqing's trouser leg tightly.

"Chairman Lu! Elder Sun! Please contact Mr. Jiang! My dad... his heartbeat stopped!"

Lu Shanqing and Sun Boyong's expressions changed instantly.

Sun Boyong quickly took out his phone and called Jiang Feng.

"Elder Sun? What's wrong?"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Huo Dongchen snatched the phone, and without waiting for Sun Boyong to speak, shouted into the receiver.

"I am Huo Dongchen! We were wrong! We should not have doubted your medical skill! My dad's heartbeat stopped during the transfer! He is now in the Rescue Room! Please come back and save him! I beg you!"

His voice, broken with collapsing sobs, was incoherent, repeatedly uttering apologies.

Sun Boyong and Lu Shanqing did not expect that the usually confident second son of the Huo Family would at this moment beg so miserably.

Lu Shanqing, fearing Jiang Feng might still be angry, also pleaded beside him.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Huo Lao's condition is now critical; only you can save Huo Lao's life, please act!"

Huo Dongchen said with great hope, "Mr. Jiang, I beg you, as long as you are willing to act, the Huo Family will spare no cost!"

A father's value to the Huo Family is incomparable.

Therefore Huo Dongchen will spare no cost to save his father's life.

The receiver was silent for a few seconds, only the faint hum of electricity.

Huo Dongchen's heart rose to his throat, his hands gripping the phone tightly.

"I'll be back immediately."

Just as he was near despair, Jiang Feng's voice came again.

"Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Jiang!"

Huo Dongchen wept with joy, bowing repeatedly to the phone, even though he knew Jiang Feng could not see.

"Rest assured, as long as we can save my dad, we will agree to any request you make!"

After hanging up, Huo Dongchen leaned against the wall as if drained of strength.

Lu Shanqing, however, patted his shoulder directly.

"Stop standing there! Let's go to the Rescue Room and wait; Mr. Jiang will be here soon! There might still be a chance!"

Sun Boyong also nodded.

"Indeed! Though we are not on Jiang's level, we know a bit of first aid and might be able to help!"

Huo Dongchen quickly nodded, and with their support he stood, stumbling toward the Rescue Room.

In the corridor outside the Rescue Room, the atmosphere was so oppressive it took one's breath away.

Huo Dongting still slumped on the cold floor tiles, his hands clutching his head.

He looked utterly desolate, lacking any Provincial Governor's bearing.

"Brother!"

Huo Dongchen rushed over, and seeing his brother's state, his heart sank instantly.

"Dad..."

Huo Dongting slowly raised his head, blood vessels darkening his eyes.

"Dad is gone. The Doctor just came out saying they rescued for ten minutes but couldn't save him..."

"Impossible!"

Huo Dongchen shook his head violently, rushed to the Rescue Room doorway and shouted hoarsely.

"Dad! Wake up! Mr. Jiang is coming right away! He can save you! Don't fall asleep!"

The nurse inside, hearing the commotion, stuck her head out and shook it, her eyes full of regret.

For a person of this rank to pass away, they felt regretful but were powerless to do anything.

At that moment, two gray‑haired, dust‑covered figures emerged from the doctor's office beside the Rescue Room.

It was Brian and Smith.

Their white coats were stained with plenty of liquid, and the arrogance they once had was gone.

Seeing the Huo Dongting brothers, the two hurried forward.

"Mr. Huo, we are sorry... we have done our best, the blood clot dislodged causing massive brainstem hemorrhage; the bleeding is too great to stop..."

"Did you do your best?"

Huo Dongting suddenly stood, grabbed Brian's collar, his eyes blazing with crimson fury.

"You said it was absolutely safe before! And now? My dad is gone! Your so‑called best effort is just letting him die on the transfer road?"

Brian, choked by the grip, dared not resist and could only apologize repeatedly.

"We didn't expect this either."

"It's the equipment! The gear here can't keep up; if it were in Minghai, we could definitely have saved him..."

"Don't look for medicine!"

Huo Dongting pushed him aside in one swift motion.

Brian staggered into the wall, wincing in pain.

"You're nothing but a bunch of quack doctors! My father is dead now, and your Rui Country medical team shouldn't even think about leaving Jiangnan!"

Smith was so frightened he stepped back half a step.

He knows all too well the Huo Family's standing in Jiangnan!

Given Huo Dongting's position, if he truly were to recklessly keep them, they might not be able to get out at all.

At this moment, Smith was immensely regretful.

Had I known earlier, I should have let that guy Jiang Feng take over.

Now this hot potato is in their hands!

Lu Shanqing and Sun Boyong didn't linger, they pushed open the Rescue Room door and went inside.

Inside, the medical staff had already removed the ECG Monitor, and Huo Lao lay quietly on the bed.

His face was as pale as paper, his chest showed no rise, and there was not the slightest pulse on his wrist.

Sun Boyong reached out to feel Huo Lao's breath, then touched his carotid artery, and shook his head.

"No breath, no heartbeat, the pupils are dilated... looks like it's true."

Lu Shanqing walked to the bedside, looked at Huo Lao's calm face, and couldn't help his eyes redden.

This military giant who had guarded Jiangnan for thirty years ultimately couldn't survive this hurdle.

And he clearly had a chance to summon someone who could save him, yet because of the Huo Family's distrust, he missed the best timing.

He reached out and tugged the white cloth covering Huo Lao, feeling full of guilt.

"Huo Lao, I'm sorry... it's my fault I didn't help you."

At that moment, a steady footstep sounded down the Corridor.

Jiang Feng hurried to the Rescue Room entrance, saw the scene inside, and slightly furrowed his brows.

Huo Dongting saw Jiang Feng, and all his anger instantly gave way to despair; he staggered forward, his voice full of self‑reproach.

"Mr. Jiang, you finally came. It's all my fault; I shouldn't have doubted your words back then, shouldn't have let them transfer hospitals! I caused my father's death!"

Huo Dongchen also lowered his head, tears silently falling.

Brian and Smith saw Jiang Feng, and their eyes were full of shock.

They still remembered what Jiang Feng had said before, and didn't expect it to come true now.

But they also didn't think Jiang Feng's appearance now mattered, after all the person was already dead.

Lu Shanqing and Sun Boyong also stepped out, shook their heads at Jiang Feng, indicating that Huo Lao was beyond saving.

But Jiang Feng remained indifferent.

"Let me go in and try again; Huo Lao should still be savable."

When he said that, everyone looked at Jiang Feng with utter astonishment.

Is what he said true?

Dead people—can he really bring them back to life?
