Chapter 912

Ito Nanako did not expect that her father would still call her so late.

So, she said to Ye Chen with some nervousness: "Ye Chen-kun, I need to answer my father's call..."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Answer it."

Ito Nanako hurriedly pressed the answer button and asked cautiously: "Father, you are calling Nanako so late, is something the matter?"

On the other end of the phone came Ito Yuhiko's weak voice: "Nanako, Father met with a little accident. I called to confirm your safety. Is everything all right in Kyoto?"

Ito Nanako hurriedly asked: "Father, what happened to you?! Is it serious?!"

Ito Yuhiko said: "Tanaka and I were hunted by someone, but fortunately, we managed to escape. However, I am afraid they might still have designs on you, so I called to confirm."

At this very moment, Ito Yuhiko was lying in a special care ward at a Tokyo hospital, and the family's ninjas, bodyguards, and officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had already protected the hospital with three layers inside and out.

Lying on the hospital bed, Ito Yuhiko did not look like he had any serious external injuries at first glance, but his legs below the knees had already disappeared, with thick gauze wrapped around the ends of his two thighs.

After falling from the overpass, although Ito Yuhiko's brain and internal organs did not suffer too much damage.

However, his legs, which bore the main impact of the fall, were severely injured.

His feet, ankles, and lower leg bones were almost completely shattered, and the bloody mess was truly too gruesome to look at.

Under these circumstances, the doctors also concluded that his legs had absolutely no possibility of recovery.

Moreover, the shattered bones and severely damaged muscles had lost their vitality and were facing a huge risk of infection.

Therefore, only by amputating the severely damaged parts as soon as possible could he stop the loss in time and save Ito Yuhiko's life.

For ordinary people, once body tissues die on a large scale and to a large extent, there is basically no possibility of restoration.

If a limb is severely injured, if it is not amputated, the rotting and infected affected area will soon implicate the entire body, eventually leading to death.

At that time, when the doctor asked for Ito Yuhiko's opinion, Ito Yuhiko hardly hesitated.

He could be considered a bold and insightful leader; at a critical moment, he could clearly judge the situation he was facing.

In his view, being able to save his life was already a stroke of luck. If he were unwilling to accept the amputation and continued to delay, he would very likely lose his life because of it.

To him, apart from his daughter, nothing was more important than staying alive.

And Tanaka Koichi's situation was almost exactly the same as Ito Yuhiko's; he also underwent an amputation of his legs below the knees, saved his life, and was currently recuperating in the ward next door.

Ito Nanako did not know that her father had already undergone an amputation, and she anxiously pursued the question: "Father, are you all right? Are you injured? Is there any danger?"

Ito Yuhiko sighed softly and said: "Tanaka and I both suffered some injuries to our legs and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital, but fortunately, there is no life-threatening danger. You can rest assured."

As he spoke, Ito Yuhiko added: "The world has been very unstable these past few days. You must be careful in Kyoto. I am preparing to send a few ninjas over to protect you!"

Ito Nanako blurted out: "Father, Nanako wants to return to Tokyo to see you!"

Ito Yuhiko hurriedly said: "You'd better not come. Tokyo is very chaotic right now; in just a day or two, too many people have already died. Besides, you are currently unwell, so you should just recuperate properly in Kyoto!"

Ito Nanako hurriedly said: "Father, my injuries have already fully healed. You don't need to worry. I will rush to Tokyo as soon as possible to take care of you!"

Ito Yuhiko naturally did not believe that his daughter's injuries had healed, and naturally assumed that Ito Nanako was just comforting him.

Therefore, he said to Ito Nanako in a serious tone: "Nanako, you must listen to me. Stay honestly in Kyoto, don't go anywhere, and definitely do not come to Tokyo!"

Ito Nanako still wanted to say something, but Ito Yuhiko said angrily: "If I find out you dare to sneak to Tokyo, I will disown you as my daughter!"

Having said that, he hung up the phone directly.

Ito Nanako was instantly in tears. She was extremely worried about her father's safety in her heart. Although she could basically determine that the father on the phone did not look like he was in life-threatening danger, she always felt that her father's injuries were not as understated as he had made them sound on the phone.

Ye Chen, who was on the side, asked her: "Nanako, did something happen to your father?"

"Mm..." Ito Nanako nodded through her tears and said: "Father called to say he was hunted and is currently in the hospital..."

After finishing, she looked at Ye Chen and choked up: "Ye Chen-kun, I'm so worried..."

Ye Chen couldn't help but comfort her: "Your father should not be in life-threatening danger, so you don't need to worry too much."

Ito Nanako shook her head and said: "I'm afraid Father is hiding something from me..."

Having said that, she looked at Ye Chen imploringly and asked: "Ye Chen-kun, I want to return to Tokyo, can you... can you help me?"

Ye Chen asked her: "How do you want me to help you?"

Ito Nanako said: "Father won't let me go back. If I tell the servants at home, they definitely won't agree and might even place me under house arrest. Since we have already snuck out, I don't want to go back. I hope Ye Chen-kun can lend me some money; after dawn, I will take the first Shinkansen back to Tokyo!"

Seeing her expression was extremely urgent, Ye Chen sighed softly and said: "It's just past twelve o'clock at night, and the Shinkansen won't be running until morning at the earliest. How about I drive you back? If we're fast, we can be there in just over three hours."

"Really?!"

Ito Nanako looked at Ye Chen excitedly and blurted out: "Is Ye Chen-kun really willing to drive me to Tokyo?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I've already said it, would I lie to you?"

Ito Nanako said: "But... but doesn't Ye Chen-kun have important business in Osaka? If you drive me to Tokyo, will it delay Ye Chen-kun's business in Osaka?"

"It's fine." Ye Chen smiled indifferently and comforted her: "You don't need to worry about me. Someone is helping me handle the business in Osaka. The top priority now is to send you back to Tokyo to see your father, so you don't have to keep worrying about him."

Ito Nanako grabbed Ye Chen's hands and said repeatedly with immense gratitude: "Ye Chen-kun, thank you so much..."

Ye Chen smiled: "Alright, let's skip the polite words. My car happens to be parked nearby, let's set off now."

"Okay!" Ito Nanako nodded repeatedly, and the look in her eyes as she watched Ye Chen was already full of gratitude and infatuation.

At this moment, in her eyes, Ye Chen was the peerless hero sent by heaven to save her...
