Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 455 - Chapter 455 Chapter 443 ICU

Chapter 455: Chapter 443 ICU Chapter 455: Chapter 443 ICU Miao Na extended her hand under Gu Wenfeng’s nose, then turned to the weeping Lu Jiaxin and said, “Boss, Brother Feng isn’t dead, he probably just fainted from the pain.”

On hearing this, Lu Jiaxin quickly wiped her tears and stood up to ask the police officer who had followed them, “Can you quickly call and check when the ambulance will arrive?”

With Gu Wenfeng in his current condition, they didn’t dare to move him without a doctor. All they hoped for now was for the ambulance to arrive quickly and then take him to the hospital for surgery.

The police officer picked up the radio and walked aside to talk for a moment. Then, returning to Lu Jiaxin, he said, “Miss Lu, the ambulance will arrive in seven minutes.”

The ambulance arrived two minutes earlier than the police had said. Because there were three injured, three ambulances came. Wang Lin and Gu Wenfeng were carried onto the vehicles, while Zong Jinghua got on by himself.

Lu Jiaxin wanted to follow, but Miao Na stopped her, “Boss, you should wait for Mr. Nie to come, and then you can go to the hospital together.”

Wang Lin was quite lucid at this time and he also didn’t agree with Lu Jiaxin following them, “Boss, you stay here and wait for Mr. Nie. Don’t worry, Brother Feng has been through countless battles, he won’t be taken down by something like this.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t want him to worry about her while he was injured, and nodded, “Alright, then I’ll wait for Nie Zhan before going to the hospital. Wang Lin, you and Brother Gu must take care of yourselves.”

“We will.”

The ambulances quickly left.

The weather turned cooler in the evening, and Miao Na, concerned that Lu Jiaxin might get sick, wanted her to wait inside the car, but she refused. She would go to the hospital as soon as Nie Zhan arrived, not wanting to waste a single second.

Nie Zhan arrived soon after and held Lu Jiaxin tightly in his arms.

Lu Jiaxin, not wanting to be a burden, had forced herself to stay calm, but upon seeing Nie Zhan, she could no longer hold back and started crying in his arms.

Nie Zhan felt an urge to kill out of heartache but still suppressed his murderous intent and reassured her, “Jiaxin, it’s okay now, it’s all over. With me here, no one can hurt you.”

Lu Jiaxin cried for a short while, vented her emotions, then wiped her tears and said, “Ah Zhan, Brother Gu suffered a lot of wounds from the wooden granary, and he lost consciousness before the ambulance arrived. Wang Lin also has several injuries. Ah Zhan, I’m worried, can you accompany me to the hospital to see them, please?”

“Sure, let’s go now.”

The police officer stopped Lu Jiaxin, hoping she would go to the police station to give a statement.

Lu Jiaxin, preoccupied with the safety of Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin, was not in the mood to give a statement. Fortunately, after consulting with Nie Zhan, Miao Na stayed behind and would go to the police station to give a statement later. Of course, Lu Jiaxin also needed to give one, but only after she had calmed down.

Once in the car, Nie Zhan wiped Lu Jiaxin’s tears and said, “Don’t worry, Recuperate Hospital has the best doctors in Hong Kong, the two of them will definitely be fine.”

Lu Jiaxin was filled with guilt, “Ah Zhan, it’s all my fault. If only I had bought a bulletproof car sooner, they wouldn’t have been hurt so badly.”

The bulletproof car had been ordered, but it hadn’t arrived that quickly.

Nie Zhan held her, patting her back while comforting her, “This isn’t your fault, it’s those people who are blinded by their own interests. Don’t worry, I will definitely seek justice for Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin.”

Lu Jiaxin was currently only concerned for the safety of Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin and couldn’t care about anything else. As for Zong Jinghua, he only had superficial injuries and there was no danger to his life, so there was no need to worry.

Mr. Zong Jinghua had only sustained a superficial injury. The doctor in the ambulance had treated him with disinfection and medication, and he was fine. When Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan arrived, he was waiting outside the operating room.

Nie Zhan sincerely offered his thanks, then said, “Mr. Zong, tomorrow morning I’ll have accounting transfer one million to your account.”

Working as Lu Jiaxin’s bodyguard for the sake of earning money was exactly why Zong Jinghua had risked his life against the kidnappers this time. Firstly, it was because Gu Wenfeng and Wang Lin had fought desperately first, and secondly, because Lu Jiaxin had treated him quite well over the past two years. Even though the process was risky and he had been injured, the reward of one million made it worthwhile.

Lu Jiaxin steadied her nerves and said, “After you are discharged, stay at home to recover from your injury; don’t come back until you are healed.”

Zong Jinghua didn’t refuse, and instead he said with a smile, “Thank you, boss.”

The prospect of a paid long leave was perfect for spending quality time with his daughter. The reward of one million would clear all the debts at home and still leave some to spare. Now that he had sufficient funds, he could even consider changing schools for his daughter.

Wang Lin had a gunshot wound in his arm and leg, and the surgery took nearly two hours. Since it was done under general anesthesia, he was still unconscious when they wheeled him out. However, the doctor said there was no danger to his life, and he would wake up once the anesthetic wore off.

Nie Zhan asked, “What about the other injured person, is there a danger to his life?”

Wang Lin had received a shot in his arm and leg which didn’t hit any vital parts, so he wasn’t in great danger. But Gu Wenfeng had been hit with five bullets and had lost a lot of blood. It was also thanks to Lu Jiaxin’s quick response; if it had been delayed any longer and he had lost any more blood, even the most skilled doctors would have been powerless.

This doctor couldn’t answer as he wasn’t the one who had performed the surgery: “Mr. Nie, Miss Lu, the doctor operating on Mr. Gu is the best one in our hospital.”

Since Gu Wenfeng’s condition was the most serious, he was assigned some of the hospital’s best surgeons.

Waiting was the most torturous part, and seeing the pale face of Lu Jiaxin, Nie Zhan thought about taking her back home. But Lu Jiaxin refused to leave, choking up as she said, “Brother Gu got injured protecting me, how can I leave now when his life is still hanging by a thread? I’ll stay right here, waiting for his surgery to be successful, waiting for him to wake up.”

Nie Zhan had suggested she go back because he was afraid she couldn’t endure the wait. Seeing her refusal, he simply agreed to stay with her: “Okay, I’ll wait here with you.”

Ah Hu brought over some late-night food for them, but Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “I can’t eat, you guys go ahead!”

Nie Zhan tried to persuade her, saying, “You always say that people are iron and food is steel, if you skip one meal, you’ll feel unwell. Be good, eat a little to fill your stomach.”

“I have no appetite,” Lu Jiaxin said while glancing at the light in the operating room–a turned-off light meant that the surgery was done.

Nie Zhan couldn’t persuade her, so he had no choice but to let Ah Hu and the others finish the late-night snack.

It wasn’t until after three in the morning that the surgery was finally completed. The surgery was very successful, and all five bullets were removed from Gu Wenfeng’s body. However, the doctor told Lu Jiaxin that the bullet in Gu Wenfeng’s left leg was located in a tricky spot, having damaged the nerves, and even though the bullet had been removed, there would be permanent damage, and his left leg would no longer be able to bear weight.

Choking back tears, Lu Jiaxin said, “As long as he is alive, it’s okay. Doctor, when will he wake up?”

The doctor couldn’t guarantee anything, as it would depend on the patient’s will to live.

After the doctor left, he said to Lu Jiaxin, “Jiaxin, Brother Gu suffered such serious injuries while protecting you; we will be responsible for the rest of his life.”

At that moment, Lu Jiaxin wasn’t in the mood to think about the future, and she said, “Brother Gu is still in the ICU and has not passed the critical phase of his life.”

After the surgery, Gu Wenfeng was taken to the ICU. People who go in there might come out in a day, or might close their eyes forever inside–she feared the latter, wondering how she would explain it to his family!
