Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Sudden Accident

Shen Yingying had hired professionals today to investigate the personnel involved in Shen Huai’s surgery.

She set her sights on Li Wei, who was vain and extremely greedy, and approached her personally.

Li Wei showed impatience, "Are you insane? Coming here in the middle of the night talking about some deal, move aside! I’m in a hurry!"

Shen Yingying stared at Li Wei with burning red eyes, "If you make this deal with me, once it’s successful, I’ll give you five hundred thousand."

Li Wei was about to leave, but at the mention of five hundred thousand, a flash of greed crossed her eyes.

She coughed theatrically, sizing up Shen Yingying, "Are you serious? What deal? Why should I believe you?"

"If you transfer me one hundred thousand now, I will believe you won’t deceive me," said Li Wei, a glint of greed in her eyes as she took out a transfer code, tentatively.

"Okay," Shen Yingying simply pulled out her phone, aimed it at Li Wei’s phone, and transferred one hundred thousand.

Li Wei hadn’t expected to actually receive the money and became incredibly excited, "Speak, what deal do you want to make with me?"

"I know that tomorrow you’ll assist a doctor in performing surgery on a patient named Shen Huai," said Shen Yingying, her eyes filled with malice.

"I want you to find a way to make Shen Huai’s surgery fail tomorrow."

She intended for Shen Huai to die on the operating table.

Li Wei’s expression changed, "You, you want to kill someone? No, I can’t..."

"What do you mean you can’t?"

Shen Yingying stepped closer to Li Wei, her voice full of seduction, "After it’s done, I’ll give you another five hundred thousand."

"Don’t you always want to match up to your wealthy boyfriend? With this six hundred thousand, you’ll have enough money to keep yourself up, and firmly capture his heart."

Six hundred thousand, for Li Wei, who only earned three thousand five hundred a month, indeed represented a huge sum, enough for her to even buy a better car.

Faced with the temptation of a huge sum, she struggled for a while but was shamefully tempted.

Considering the director had mentioned before that Shen Huai had no immune defenses, all she needed to do was discreetly place something in the operating room, like a common cockroach.

Letting Shen Huai come into contact with germs would trigger a reaction in his body, allowing her to easily fulfill her deal with Shen Yingying and grab that six hundred thousand.

Since she had to work overtime because of Shen Huai today, she already harbored dissatisfaction, and if it were to be discovered later, she could simply blame the disinfection staff.

She could come out of it completely clean.

With that thought, Li Wei felt no burden anymore, "Okay, I agree to it."

She was set on taking that money.

-

The next day.

Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe got up early, washed up, had breakfast, then put on protective suits to cheer Shen Huai on.

Two hours before the surgery began, the entire surgical floor of the hospital was cleared.

Only Shen Yanhe, Fu Yanhe, Ye Min, and the bodyguards arranged by Fu Yanhe remained, while all other patients had been moved to other surgical departments.

The surgery room underwent one final round of disinfection, and the nurses, wearing protective suits, performed one last ultraviolet disinfection before wheeling Shen Huai in first.

The lead surgeon rushed over with the assisting nurse, Li Wei closely following behind.

As she saw the burly men stationed at every lift and staircase, her heart skipped a beat, and a sense of unease arose, unconsciously squeezing the cockroach hidden in a plastic bag in her pocket.

Li Wei whispered to the chief doctor, Dr. Qiao, in a low voice, "Chief, who are Shen Huai’s family? What kind of background do they have?"

Dr. Qiao didn’t shift his gaze, whispering back, "Don’t ask. All you need to know is they come from a very powerful background, not someone you or I should provoke."

Li Wei’s anxiety deepened, hesitating slightly.

But thinking of the six hundred thousand, she still didn’t discard the cockroach in her pocket.

Dr. Qiao respectfully greeted Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe, "Miss Shen, Mr. Fu."

"Dr. Qiao, I’m entrusting my brother to you today," Shen Yanhe said as she stood up, extended her hand to Dr. Qiao, and shook his.

"Rest assured, Miss Shen, we will do our utmost," Dr. Qiao replied.

While the two exchanged pleasantries, Li Wei cautiously observed Fu Yanhe, her gaze circling his face, still marred by an unhealed scar.

She sneered to herself, thinking, What does it matter how important he is, he’s still a freak, not even worth a finger of her wealthy boyfriend.

She maliciously thought that the beautiful Miss Shen in front of her might have climbed into someone’s bed just because of her brother’s expensive medical bills.

She also thought about quickly getting rid of the burden that was Shen Huai.

Li Wei convinced herself that she had uncovered the truth, and gradually, her unrest dissipated.

After a brief exchange with Shen Yanhe, Dr. Qiao took Li Wei into the operating room, and just before entering, Li Wei turned to look back at Shen Yanhe with an expression that said she had seen through her.

This left Shen Yanhe somewhat puzzled, and she frowned, "What’s with that assistant nurse? She seems odd."

"Should we replace her?" Fu Yanhe asked softly, his gentle gaze landing on her.

"The surgery is about to start, let’s not replace her now," Shen Yanhe said, shaking her head as she sat down. "If Dr. Qiao brought her along, it means she must be competent."

Fu Yanhe nodded slightly, "Hmm."

At that moment, Shen Yanhe had no idea that this decision would almost cost her her brother’s life.

The lights in the operating room came on, and Ye Min, who had just made a nervous trip to the restroom, hurried back.

Her face somewhat pale, she sat down next to Shen Yanhe, her cold hand tightly clenching Shen Yanhe’s hand, "Has Xiaohuai’s surgery started yet?"

"It has started," Shen Yanhe allowed Ye Min to hold her hand, warming her with her own body heat, and soothed, "Grandma, don’t be afraid, Xiaohuai will be safe."

Ye Min nodded heavily, "Yes!" He will be safe.

He must be!

The bone marrow transplant surgery would take around six hours.

During these waiting hours, Ye Min was visibly restless, constantly pacing back and forth down the hallway.

As time passed, even Shen Yanhe, who was trying to stay calm, began to feel anxious.

Her hands and feet turned cold, her heart thumped loudly, and she felt inexplicably panicky.

The quiet, waiting Fu Yanhe saw her looking a bit pale. His eyebrows slightly furrowed, he reached out to hold her hand, silently offering her support.

Four hours later.

The door to the operating room suddenly opened, nurses started running back and forth, and the area became noisy.

Seeing nurses hastily running out to fetch medication and then dashing back, Ye Min’s heart nearly stopped beating.

She slumped to the ground, clutching her chest.

Alarmed by the change in Ye Min’s demeanor, Shen Yanhe quickly stood up to support her, "Grandma."

"Has something happened to Ahuai?" Ye Min asked with difficulty, her eyes brimming with tears.

Shen Yanhe got up with a grave expression and rushed after the nurse, "Nurse, what’s happened to Shen Huai?"

"The patient Shen Huai has suddenly gone into shock during surgery; the doctor is doing everything possible to treat him. Please, family members, no need to worry," the nurse said hurriedly before turning to rush off for more medication.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanhe’s face turned deathly pale, her limbs suddenly turned ice-cold, and her heartbeat intensified, her vision blurring.

"Sudden...shock?"
