Which hospital is he at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan’s voice trembled, and in her urgency, there was a sobbing tone: \"At Jin Ling People’s Hospital. Your dad was hit and is unconscious. Come quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan never imagined that just a moment ago, she was happily celebrating the opening, but the next second, she had suddenly received such tragic news...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said anxiously: \"Okay, I’m coming right away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen heard the conversation between the two clearly and realized the seriousness of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without a word, he immediately said to the people present: \"Everyone, please sit for a while. Churan and I have to go out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, it would be very rude for the host to leave guests aside, but these people were all Ye Chen’s supporters, so naturally, they had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Ye Chen drove his wife Xiao Churan straight to Jin Ling People’s Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the hospital, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan went all the way to the ICU ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing the door open, Ye Chen saw at a glance that his father-in-law was lying on the hospital bed, eyes tightly closed, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his mother-in-law, Ma Lan, she was sitting in front of the bed, covered in blood, her face pale, looking lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan’s pretty face turned white, her eyes instantly red and swollen. She hurriedly rushed over and asked anxiously: \"Mom, what happened to Dad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan’s eyes were red as she said: \"Your dad was taking me to your opening ceremony when we were hit by a dump truck that ran a red light. His condition is very dangerous now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan hurriedly asked the doctor guarding the ward: \"Doctor, how is my dad’s condition?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor said: \"Don't worry, there is no immediate danger to his life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Xiao Changkun was not in immediate danger, Xiao Churan and Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that at this moment, the doctor hesitated and said again: \"However...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan couldn't help but ask: \"However what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor sighed and said: \"However, the patient has injured his spine. After waking up, he will face high paraplegia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High paraplegia, which means paralysis from the neck down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, he would become a living dead person with no abilities, only slightly better than a vegetative state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that her father might face high paraplegia,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan felt the world go black and felt dizzy. If Ye Chen hadn't supported her with quick eyes and hands, she would have collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her father Xiao Changkun really became a high paraplegic, it would mean he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life, unable to do anything, completely losing his ability to live!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a life, for a person, was simply worse than death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurriedly asked: \"Doctor, can a spinal injury be cured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor shook his head and said: \"Basically, there is no possibility of a cure. At least in the world, there is no case of curing high paraplegia yet. At most, the patient can recover enough to sit up by themselves. For the rest, there is basically nothing that can be done, so you need to be mentally prepared...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiao Churan couldn't help but burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, she asked Ma Lan with a choked voice: \"Mom, are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan’s face was pale as she said: \"Sigh, I’m fine. My head just hurts a little. After the doctor checked, there was no major problem. It’s mainly your dad. The dump truck hit his side...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her husband potentially becoming a high paraplegic was also a fatal blow to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen carefully asked and found out that the dump truck that ran the red light had fled after the incident. His mother-in-law and father-in-law were both unconscious when the accident happened and couldn't see the license plate number or the general visual characteristics of the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the two were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment by kind passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan’s situation was better. Sitting in the passenger seat, she was just unconscious at the beginning and had some minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his father-in-law was sitting in the driver’s seat and bore the brunt of the impact, so he wasn't as lucky and was hit by the dump truck into this state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: This heaven really doesn't have eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father-in-law, although he usually likes to brag and doesn't know anything but insists on acting like an expert, to be honest, he isn't a bad person, just a bit cowardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, his father-in-law was now a high paraplegic. If he didn't take action, his second half of life would basically be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, his mother-in-law was not only a standard snob but also half a shrew, a stinky old woman who only thought about selling her daughter for glory, and she had no integrity or bottom line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what happened? She was completely fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Ye Chen sighed and thought evilly in his heart, why wasn't it his mother-in-law Ma Lan who was hit into a high paraplegic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were hit into a high paraplegic, he would really save a lot of worry in the Xiao family in the future...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the door of the ICU ward opened, and two figures walked in from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Chen saw the young man walking in front, his expression turned cold. The person who came was Gao Junwei, who had been slapped in the face by him at the car show yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And following behind him was a middle-aged man carrying a medical kit with a large red cross on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan couldn't help but ask: \"Mom, why is he here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan said: \"I asked him to come. Junwei knows the dean of this hospital. Just when we were admitted, he happened to be visiting a relative here. Seeing that your dad and I were injured, he arranged for your dad to stay in the ICU ward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she immediately changed her face, greeted him with a full smile, and called out affectionately: \"Junwei, you’ve been busy running around just now, you must be tired, come over and rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Junwei smiled slightly and said: \"It’s okay, Auntie, I’m not tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he suddenly saw Ye Chen standing behind Ma Lan, and his expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect that this eyesore of a loser, Ye Chen, would also be here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday at the car show, it was because Ye Chen was meddling that he lost all face in front of Xiao Churan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, he had hated Ye Chen to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he didn't think for a second that a loser like Ye Chen could be truly powerful, so he wanted to find an opportunity to expose his disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that enemies had met, he was naturally extremely jealous. At the same time, he wanted to regain face in front of Xiao Churan and regain her favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Ma Lan sighed and wiped away tears, saying: \"Junwei, the doctor just said that your Uncle Xiao might be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. How can I live like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Junwei hurriedly pointed to the middle-aged man behind him and introduced him to Ma Lan: \"Auntie, you don't have to worry! This is the famous Divine Physician Liu Zhongjing. He is a nationally renowned expert in traditional Chinese medicine. I specially invited him to treat Uncle! With him here, Uncle will definitely recover!\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1306,"2026-06-17T16:51:23.531Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","012ed09d12ecf2d18789c21969072eb74b3d43461c40f1261c3a98a027f7f12c","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-168","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-166",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
