Chapter 520

~8 min read 1,550 words

In the rules of the workplace.

What is the most important thing if you want to get things done?

Is it getting things done?

Of course that is also very important, but it is far from the most important; the most important thing is to use the work to express loyalty to your leader, like training a dog, telling him over and over again, tirelessly — everything I do is for you, Leader!

Once you grasp this one point, you have opened the door to workplace advancement.

Beep beep beep...

The sound of waiting for the call to connect came from the phone.

The lights in the VVIP ward had been deliberately dimmed; the entire room was shrouded in a stifling tone.

The special care bed in the center resembled a giant glass fish tank even more; Qian Huan's body was immersed in a pale red nutrient solution, motionless, like a specimen soaked in formalin.

There was hardly an inch of intact skin on his body; the exposed red muscles were also torn and riddled with all kinds of needles, and his face was covered by a transparent breathing mask.

The blood and nutrient solution were turbid, barely concealing his mutilated and horrifying appearance.

Beside the fish tank, various monitoring instruments for vital signs kept observing; all the indicators on them were very weak.

The doctor stood to the side, his face full of exhaustion, looking like he might drop dead at any moment, yet he still forced himself to maintain his composure and explain Qian Huan's condition to Li Hanyu:

"The victim suffered an explosion all over his body, and sustained secondary injuries from glass; his entire body, from skin to internal organs, suffered severe damage.

Although a life was snatched back through prolonged surgical rescue, he is currently still in a deep coma, autonomous respiration is near zero, entirely reliant on machines to sustain..."

Li Hanyu sat quietly on the sofa to the side, her eye sockets red, tears spinning in her eyes, but her emotions had already calmed down considerably compared to before.

Li Hanyu suddenly asked: "Can he feel pain right now?"

The doctor visibly froze for a moment: "No, we used the highest dosage of neural inhibitors."

Li Hanyu moved her gaze away from the fish tank, adjusted her breathing, and continued to ask:

"How long before my son can wake up?"

Is this a question of how long?

This is a question of whether he can at all!

The doctor cursed inwardly, but on his face he replied seriously:

"The probability of normal awakening is probably less than 10%!"

The doctor absolutely did not lie; 0.1% is also less than 10%.

Li Hanyu's expression was ugly; unwilling to give up, she asked:

"Are there no other methods? Such as full-body reconstruction implants, or even implanting Crystal Yuan in the skull?"

The doctor's face showed a troubled expression; he sighed:

"Theoretically it is possible, but the risk of large-area implantation reconstruction surgery is also very high, and not everyone is compatible enough to endure it; moreover, the victim is extremely fragile right now."

Li Hanyu stared dead at the doctor:

"Then what if only Crystal Yuan is implanted, to let him wake up first?"

Cold sweat seeped out on the doctor's temples:

"Implantation reconstruction is still a very cutting-edge frontier technology in the Lower City, and intracranial implantation of Crystal Yuan is the most difficult link in the field of implantation reconstruction..."

Seeing Li Hanyu's expression growing increasingly unkind, the doctor hurriedly stopped explaining:

"What I mean is, although this hospital can perform this kind of surgery, the success rate definitely cannot compare to technology companies or laboratories that specialize in researching implantation reconstruction."

Li Hanyu's expression eased slightly, revealing a pensive look.

The doctor hurriedly struck while the iron was hot:

"As far as I know, in the entire Lower City, regarding implantation reconstruction technology, Eternal Life Technology in the Sixth District should be the most formidable."

The white-coated scientist from the sewer livestream she had watched these past two days — Zuo Bai — flashed through Li Hanyu's mind in an instant.

The various abilities Zuo Bai displayed in the sewer were indeed the result of technological reconstruction performed on his entire body, including his brain.

Of course, Guangming Group also has similar technology, but the focus is different.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Hongguang Pharmaceutical under the Group has a deep cooperative relationship with Eternal Life Technology.

"Should I go ask Lu Zong for help?"

This thought had just popped up in Li Hanyu's mind when she forcibly pressed it back down.

Before figuring out the Group's attitude, Li Hanyu dared not risk asking Lu Zong for help.

Because Wang Cong went to find Lu Zong this afternoon, and they seemed to have gotten along very well.

She was afraid that if she requested the Group's help, the people sent might deliberately let Qian Huan die on the surgical bed.

"Wang Cong, you really deserve to die!"

Li Hanyu slowly spat out Wang Cong's name from her mouth; her eyes concealed a venomous killing intent.

Seeing Li Hanyu fall into contemplation, the doctor tiptoed out.

The ward instantly fell completely silent, until it was broken by the vibration of a mobile phone.

Li Hanyu slowly extended her hand, picked up the incessantly vibrating phone; the screen prominently displayed an incoming call from "Feng Mu".

She took a deep breath and answered the call.

From the phone came Feng Mu's incomparably detailed report; every word struck her heart like a heavy hammer:

"..... In short, these two Zone Chiefs are the culprits who planted the bomb; they are currently at Lou Duan's home; Secretary Hou's meaning is for me not to act rashly, only to secretly film evidence of their collusion. Madam, what is your intention?"

Madam, what is your intention?

Li Hanyu's temples throbbed violently; the amount of information in the phone call was simply too great; she found it a bit hard to digest for a moment.

The case... is solved?

Those two Zone Chiefs are the ones who harmed my son Qian Huan?

Additionally, Hou Wendong must have received Wang Xinfa's authorization; that ruthless political animal would inevitably want to use this as a chip to tear off another piece of flesh from the Prison System.

Li Hanyu stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth in the ward until she reached the fish tank, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Avenge him — she would naturally avenge her son Qian Huan, wishing she could tear those two Zone Chiefs into ten thousand pieces.

However, in the end she had not let anger completely cloud her mind; she did not merely want revenge to vent her hatred, she also had to find a way to safeguard her son's heart and blood.

She absolutely could not let her son's heart and blood be eaten clean by Lu Zong, by Wang Xinfa, or even by Wang Cong.

At this moment Li Hanyu was full of vigilance toward everyone, not daring to easily trust anyone.

It was as if she were placed in a treacherous dark forest, jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards everywhere; the only thing that could let her feel slightly at ease was this loyal dog Feng Mu.

This trust quietly grew without her realizing:

Initially only eight parts; after that phone call with Qin Liang it rose to eight and a half parts; and now, having heard this crucially important report, Feng Mu's loyalty in her heart had already climbed to nine parts.

Every trial made the image of this loyal dog in her heart become increasingly clear and reliable.

Li Hanyu's Nao Hai spun madly; Feng Mu on the other end of the phone was also extremely patient, not urging her in the slightest.

After a good while, Li Hanyu's heart gradually formed a plan; she asked slowly into the phone:

"Feng Mu, in your view, has Lou Duan mixed into this matter?"

This question was actually very difficult to answer.

Feng Mu's heart bottom did not have the thought of directly rushing upstairs and launching a massacre.

If he truly had such an idea, he would have directly ordered Gong Qi to do it.

After all, the consequences brought by killing those two Zone Chiefs, Feng Mu believed he could bear them, or rather, he had confidence that Li Hanyu had the ability to cover for him.

But Lou Duan is the Prison System's number three; not a truly big shot, but he counts as brushing up against big shots.

Killing him outright in a reckless manner, the subsequent storm would blow up huge.

Li Hanyu might be able to cover it, but Feng Mu himself could not gain any benefit from it — a severe case of risk and reward being disproportionate.

In Feng Mu's view, expressing loyalty and raising Li Hanyu's trust in him, the heads of those two Zone Chiefs were already enough.

But these calculations absolutely could not be spoken aloud; right now he faced a mother who wanted revenge, and an extremely suspicious woman.

So the answer to this question had to be cautious again and again.

Could not say there wasn't, could not say he didn't know; you have to say…
