Chapter 234: Elder Sister An Yunxi

Swish—! Hearing this, Hong Wenyan on the phone was stunned.

She didn't reply for a long time; after a few minutes, she finally asked back, "Ren Ni Shang, are you serious?"

Ren Ni Shang, holding the phone, replied, "Do you think I'm joking?"

On the other end of the line, Hong Wenyan fell silent again.

"Ren Ni Shang, why would you take a liking to such a low‑life good‑for‑nothing? Is that really it?" Hong Wenyan only replied after a long while.

"As for it, I just like his low‑life nature." Ren Ni Shang replied without hesitation.

Hong Wenyan said nothing more and hung up the phone.

Ren Ni Shang tossed her phone aside and began giving Lin Yuan emergency first aid.

She helped Lin Yuan start suturing his wounds, treating his injuries, and disinfecting.

But just as they were on the operating table, the long‑unconscious Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

He had come to from his severe injury‑induced coma.

"I can handle it myself…" Lin Yuan said weakly.

Then, he propped himself up from the operating table and began using Chinese acupuncture to stop the bleeding and treat his own wounds…

……

At the same time, inside another provincial key hospital in Hangcheng,

Changsheng Group chairman Chang Jinghe was rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

Seeing how severely Chang Jinghe was injured, the doctors' faces suddenly changed!

The hospital director, together with several senior provincial physicians, personally took charge of the rescue.

On the operating table, the director and the renowned physicians saw Chang Jinghe's condition and their expressions grew even grimmer.

They had practiced medicine for decades and had never seen such a cruel, vicious injury.

Several silver needles were embedded in Chang Jinghe's body, and those needles had completely shattered his spine and nerves.

His spine was completely shattered; in this situation, even Western medicine was powerless!

……

That night, for the Changsheng Group, was destined to be a sleepless one.

Only after midnight did Chang Jinghe's rescue surgery finally end.

The director and a group of top‑level physicians walked out of the emergency room, exhausted.

Outside the emergency room, the Changsheng Group's management staff filled the hallway.

"How?! Director Ma! How is our Chang Dong?!'' The group's senior executives anxiously demanded.

They were all shareholders of the group, holding its shares; and since Chang Jinghe's fate affected the group's stock price, they were extremely anxious!

Director Ma and a group of physicians shook their heads with grim faces, saying, "Chang Dong's life is saved, but his entire spine is shattered in a comminuted fracture… all twelve central nervous system nerves have been severed… We've practiced medicine for years and never seen such a bizarre, vicious injury! Uh… sorry, we're unable—Chang Dong will likely spend the rest of his life as a vegetative state."

Boom—! Upon hearing this, the group's senior staff outside the corridor all turned deathly pale!

Is Chang Dong really going to spend his life as a vegetative?

This…… the Changsheng Group is leaderless; what are we to do with such a massive conglomerate?

If this news gets out, the group's business will plummet, and its stock price will crash!

All the shareholder‑level executives looked grim beyond measure, for this directly concerns their interests—they would suffer huge losses!

"Director Ma! You're the province's top physician—I don't care what method you use! You must bring Chang Dong back to health!! He cannot become a vegetative!" The group of executives grabbed Director Ma's collar and shouted sternly.

……

That night, Lin Yuan spent a great deal of effort before finally managing to treat all his injuries.

His wounds had been staunched, and he applied herbal powder to them to speed up healing.

But after Lin Yuan had treated his wounds and tried to leave the hospital, Ren Ni Shang stopped him again.

Ren Ni Shang forcibly placed Lin Yuan under 'soft confinement' in the hospital, insisting he must rest and recuperate there!

Lin Yuan had no choice but to call Director Su again to extend his leave.

Lin Yuan made up an excuse, saying his father had fallen ill and been hospitalized, so he needed to stay at his hometown to look after him.

On the phone, after Su Monong learned of this, she immediately transferred another 50,000 yuan to Lin Yuan so he could properly care for his father.

Furthermore, Su Monong said, "If you run short of money, just let me know—if the medical expenses aren't enough, I can help."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a bit ashamed.

Director Su had been so good to him, yet he was deceiving her.

Lin Yuan shook his head repeatedly, saying he didn't need it and wasn't short of money, then hung up.

Meanwhile, it was midnight.

Zhao Yuyan and the other woman also rushed to the hospital right away.

As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she launched into a tirade against Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, are you sick?! Who let you barge into Changsheng Group alone?! Don't you even see me as your girlfriend?! If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?!" Zhao Yuyan's eyes reddened as she shouted angrily.

The angrier she got, the more she eventually flung herself into Lin Yuan's arms and burst into tears.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only hold her and comfort, "I'm still alive, aren't I? I'm fine—stop crying."

Zhao Yuyan's long hair hung loose as she clung tightly to Lin Yuan, sobbing loudly.

This woman, feeling wronged, burst into tears, her face wet like pear blossoms in rain.

She was truly worried Lin Yuan might come to harm; her emotions overwhelmed her, so she broke into loud sobs.

Lin Yuan held her and continually soothed her.

A faint, elegant, bluish fragrance emanated from Zhao Yuyan's person, very pleasant.

Lin Yuan had no other thoughts; he simply kept comforting her.

Just then, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold woman's voice came from outside, "It seems I'm interrupting you?"

Swish! Lin Yuan's face changed, and he hastily looked up?

He saw An Yunxi standing at the hospital room door, her pretty face icy cold.

"Um… An-sis, how did you come here?" Lin Yuan felt somewhat flustered, guilty as a thief; he wanted to push Zhao Yuyan away, but she tightly clung to his arm, refusing to leave his embrace.

"What? Do you mind my coming to disturb you? Then I'll leave?" An Yunxi's pretty face was ice-cold as she spoke and turned to leave.

"An-sis, it's not what you think… I didn't mean it that way," Lin Yuan hurriedly said.

An Yunxi stopped in her high heels, her beautiful eyes coldly fixed on him, "What's the meaning of you two holding each other like that?"

At this moment Zhao Yuyan spoke, "An Yunxi, what's wrong with me hugging my boyfriend? Are you in the way? Or are you jealous?"

"You, Zhao Yuyan, can you show some shame? When did Lin Yuan become your boyfriend?" An Yunxi directly retorted.

Seeing the two women about to argue again, Lin Yuan only felt a headache coming on; he tried to mediate, but ended up being snapped at, and he began to cough violently.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Lin Yuan coughed, and a few strands of blood came out.

The two women then stopped arguing and hurried forward to support him.

The two women asked with concern.

Lin Yuan shook his head, indicating he was fine.

"Zhao Yuyan, you've stayed with Lin Yuan long enough—isn't that enough? I have something to discuss with Lin Yuan; can you leave now?" An Yunxi reminded him coldly.

Zhao Yuyan, however, refused to leave.

Finally, Lin Yuan gave her a glance, and Zhao Yuyan then left the hospital room.

Inside the hospital room, only An Yunxi and Lin Yuan remained.

An Yunxi coldly scolded, "Lin Yuan, are you trying to get yourself killed? I've warned you repeatedly not to go to Changsheng Group alone—why didn't you listen to me?! You're practically throwing your life away, thinking it's fun, right?"

Lin Yuan explained, "An-sis, I don't want you to go to war with Changsheng Group over me…… so……"

"Besides, Chang Jinghe has already been crippled, and I've come back alive—I've accomplished that, haven't I?" Lin Yuan said.

"Then you're just lucky, with a big life!" An Yunxi coldly rebuked him.

She felt toward Lin Yuan nothing short of exasperation—this man really knows how to stir up trouble, keeping everyone on edge all day.

"An-sis, how is Changsheng Group now? I've copied key evidence of its crimes; if needed, I can use this evidence to topple Changsheng Group." Lin Yuan asked.

"Chang Jinghe has already been crippled; according to my informants, his condition is very serious and he may never wake up. What exactly did you do to him?" An Yunxi asked in a solemn tone.

Lin Yuan explained, "It's nothing; I merely destroyed his twenty-six vertebrae and his central nervous system, so he'll be a vegetative person for the rest of his life."

Hearing this, An Yunxi couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Lin Yuan looks honest and kind, but his strike is truly ruthless.

"Changsheng Group is currently leaderless, with internal factions fighting for the chairman's position; for now it poses no threat to you, so you should focus on recovering for the time being." An Yunxi reminded him.

Only then did Lin Yuan feel relieved.

By now it was getting late; the beautiful head nurse, Chen Xixi, came to remind him, telling the patient Lin Yuan to rest early.

Lin Yuan's wounds had just been treated, and he urgently needed recuperation.

Zhao Yuyan voluntarily offered to stay and keep Lin Yuan company.

But Lin Yuan refused.

Lin Yuan didn't want to trouble Zhao Yuyan.

He owed this woman enough already.

An Yunxi also spoke up then, "I'll stay to look after Lin Yuan, Zhao Yuyan—you go home first. Get back early, or else your father will worry again."

"No way—why should you stay and not me? I want to stay too," Zhao Yuyan protested indignantly.

"Lin Yuan is her future boyfriend—how could you let an old woman like An Yunxi stay to take care of him?"

"A man and woman alone together—Zhao Yuyan is obviously uneasy about it."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll eat Lin Yuan?" An Yunxi mocked coldly, "Don't you think about our ages—I'm much older than Lin Yuan; if I wanted to eat a man, I wouldn't be so desperate as to eat anything that comes along."

Zhao Yuyan retorted indignantly, "What if you, an old ox, nibble on tender grass?"

"You! Zhao Yuyan, you little bitch, are you sick?" An Yunxi finally couldn't hold back and shouted.

Seeing the two women about to argue again, Lin Yuan stepped in and mediated their dispute.

Finally, Lin Yuan let Zhao Yuyan come keep him company tomorrow daytime. Zhao Yuyan then felt satisfied and turned to leave.

In the hospital room, only Lin Yuan and An Yunxi remained.

Lin Yuan wanted An Yunxi to go rest early as well, since he could take care of himself alone.

But An Yunxi refused, saying, "No, I must stay tonight to keep you company."

Finally, under An Yunxi's insistence, Lin Yuan had no choice but to agree.

This is a VIP ward, so the room has a bed for the caregiver to sleep on.

An Yunxi slept on the bed next door.

Lin Yuan lay on the hospital bed and soon fell asleep.

But in the early hours, Lin Yuan suddenly woke up from a full bladder.

During the day he had drunk a lot of herbal tea, and now he felt the need to urinate.

Lin Yuan tried to get up, but the tearing pain of his wounds all over made it extremely difficult for him to rise.

Finally, An Yunxi was also awakened by the noise.

She got up and supported Lin Yuan.

"Want to go to the bathroom? I'll help you," An Yunxi said.

"Um… An-sis, no thanks, it's inconvenient…" Lin Yuan said embarrassedly.

This—him, a man, being helped by a woman to the toilet—how embarrassing is that?

"What are you afraid of? I've seen men before—don't be pretentious," An Yunxi mocked coldly.

Lin Yuan was helpless; he could only, with An Yunxi's support…… walk into the men's restroom.

But after entering the restroom, an even more embarrassing scene occurred.

Lin Yuan's both arms were covered in knife wounds, so his hands had no strength; he simply couldn't pull it open.

Lin Yuan strained hard for half a day, yet still couldn't open the zipper.

How is he supposed to urinate?

An Yunxi gave him a faint glance with her beautiful eyes, "Look at your useless self? Let me help you."

An Yunxi said, and her jade hand actually reached out toward Lin Yuan……

"An Sis, don't…… I can do it myself…" Lin Yuan panicked, hurriedly shaking his head.

This is too embarrassing!

But just as he shook his head, it was already too late!
