Chapter 798: Chapter 838: Xu Yingying Falls into a Coma

Li Yifei had never expected Xu Yingying to suddenly burst forth with such immense strength at that moment, pinning him beneath her. In reality, he had already spotted another gun and had taken emergency measures. With his abilities, he was entirely capable of evading the bullets.

But Xu Yingying’s sudden eruption caught Li Yifei entirely off guard. Even though he managed to react at the last second, gripping the ground with both hands and causing them to slide down several inches, it still wasn’t enough to completely avoid the bullet.

And the bullet didn’t strike him; it struck Xu Yingying... on the head.

"Wife!" Li Yifei roared, his voice hoarse, as his body sprang up. Even while holding Xu Yingying, his movements were swift. In the blink of an eye, he had already charged at the person who fired the shot. Without giving the shooter a chance to fire a second bullet, Li Yifei launched a flurry of punches and kicks. After a series of cracking sounds, the shooter collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

The sound of gunfire sent the onlookers scattering, while the thugs and the first person to draw a gun had already taken the opportunity to escape. Li Yifei didn’t bother with them, instead he rushed Xu Yingying to his car, determined to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Xu Yingying had been shot in the head, but the bullet hadn’t penetrated; rather, it had grazed her, leaving a deep, bone-deep gash on the top of her scalp. At that moment, Xu Yingying was lying with her eyes tightly closed, as if she were dead.

Li Yifei drove frantically to the hospital, breaking who knows how many red lights. Once he had delivered Xu Yingying to the emergency room, he collapsed into a chair outside the room, fists clenched tightly and eyes bloodshot. His body radiated a fierce killing intent; whoever was responsible for Xu Yingying’s injuries would pay a dire price.

The incident with Xu Yingying occurred not far from the company’s entrance, and some employees who happened to witness it quickly ran inside to call for help. By the time the security personnel from the company arrived at the scene, the situation had already been resolved, leaving only the shooter behind.

Nearby stores, after being questioned, realized that Xu Yingying had been shot and that Li Yifei had taken her to the hospital.

Inside the company, chaos erupted. He Fangqing hurriedly called Li Yifei for the address and rushed to the hospital with Michelle. Though other leaders from the company wanted to come, He Fangqing didn’t allow them.

Seeing Li Yifei sitting there, like a fierce beast ready to pounce at any moment, He Fangqing and Michelle were startled. They quickly sat on either side of Li Yifei, with He Fangqing urgently asking, "How is Yingying?"

Li Yifei took a deep breath, forcefully closed his eyes, and then reopened them before saying, "The bullet hit the top of the skull but didn’t penetrate. The exact condition won’t be known until after the emergency treatment."

"So there shouldn’t be any major problem, right?" He Fangqing asked cautiously.

Li Yifei shook his head, saying, "If it were any other part of the body, such an injury wouldn’t be a problem, but the force of a bullet is great, and since it’s the head, the simple impact can have unpredictable consequences."

As an exceptional fighter, Li Yifei was acutely aware of the power of a bullet. It might have only grazed the scalp, but it would have certainly struck the skull. The impact could cause a concussion, and if it was severe, it might even result in death. He felt utterly uncertain at the moment.

"There won’t be any problems, there definitely won’t be," Michelle said, holding Li Yifei’s hand, continuously comforting him.

Li Yifei’s eyes suddenly reddened, and tears involuntarily began to flow. Choking up, he said, "It’s all because of me... Yingying wanted to protect me, that’s why she got hurt... whimper..."

Li Yifei’s tears came as a shock to both He Fangqing and Michelle; they had never seen Li Yifei so vulnerable before. Even in the face of great adversity, Li Yifei had always remained composed. But this time, he broke down in front of them.

With Li Yifei’s crying, He Fangqing and Michelle felt their maternal instincts stirred. Michelle stretched out her arm and embraced Li Yifei’s shoulder, allowing him to lean on her.

"Brother Li, don’t be sad. Sister Yingying is such a good person; she will certainly have divine protection," Michelle hurriedly comforted.

"Yeah, you really don’t need to stress too much. Didn’t you say the bullet didn’t enter her head? You’re distressed, which is causing confusion," He Fangqing promptly added.

Li Yifei was only temporarily weakened and soon recovered, sitting upright with a forced smile. "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine," he said, pulling out a cigarette, his hands trembling involuntarily.

He Fangqing quickly snatched the lighter and lit it for Li Yifei. After taking a few puffs, he asked, "Have you notified the others?"

Li Yifei shook his head, saying, "Let’s wait. Alerting them now will only cause them to worry."

"Right," both He Fangqing and Michelle said, nodding in agreement.

Waiting outside the emergency room was torturous. Li Yifei paced back and forth, smoking countless cigarettes, his anxiety simmering like a heart on a frying pan.

Michelle and He Fangqing felt the same, and they were worried for Li Yifei as well. Seeing the way Li Yifei looked, they knew just how anxious he must be feeling inside.

The emergency room doors finally opened, and Li Yifei rushed to the entrance like an arrow. He Fangqing and Michelle also hurried over. Each grabbed one of Li Yifei’s arms, clearly feeling the trembling in his limbs. Even someone as strong as Li Yifei couldn’t control his emotions at this time.

As the emergency room doors opened, a doctor came out first. Li Yifei’s fists, soaked in sweat, he asked with immense nervousness, "Doctor... my... how’s my wife?"

The doctor, a woman in her forties, spoke in a very calm voice, "The patient’s external injuries are not severe and there is no immediate threat to her life, but due to the impact of a bullet on the head, there has been some damage to the brain tissue."

"So... so..." Li Yifei couldn’t even finish his sentences.

He Fangqing was rather composed at this time and quickly asked, "What will happen to the patient?"

"The brain is the most complex part of the human body, and as of now, there are many things that can’t be explained. The patient is currently in a comatose state and it is unclear when she will awaken, and even if she does, it’s uncertain what might occur."

"Will she never wake up?" He Fangqing asked another question.

The doctor nodded and said, "That’s a possibility."

"No! That will never happen! How did you treat her? How did you save her?" Li Yifei suddenly roared, reaching out and grabbing the female doctor by the neck, lifting her up.

"Yifei, Yifei, calm down! It’s not the doctor’s fault!" He Fangqing and Michelle promptly pulled at Li Yifei’s arms, finally managing to make him let go of the doctor.

The doctor gasped for air, nearly choked to death by Li Yifei, but she was able to understand the feelings of the patient’s family member and wasn’t angry, saying, "I can understand how you feel. I only said it’s a possibility, but there’s also a chance she may wake up very soon."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei was overjoyed and said, "Really?"

"All these possibilities exist. As a doctor, I can only present you with these scenarios. Whatever happens, as the patient’s family, you must be prepared."

"Alright, alright, I’m sorry, Doctor. I really was too impulsive just now," Li Yifei apologized to the doctor.

At that moment, Xu Yingying was wheeled out. Li Yifei quickly rushed over to support the head of the bed. Xu Yingying had her head wrapped in bandages, her lustrous hair now completely shaved, her complexion pale, eyes closed tightly, which made Li Yifei’s tears, once again, unable to stop flowing.

He Fangqing had already arranged for a hospital room, and now they pushed her directly into it. Along the way, Li Yifei personally propelled the hospital bed, afraid to cause Xu Yingying even the slightest jolt.

After placing Xu Yingying on the hospital bed, she showed absolutely no sign of feeling.

Having settled Xu Yingying, Li Yifei sat down beside the bed, holding her hands in his and gently kissing them, whispering softly, "Wife, you’re really too silly, taking a bullet for me."

"Wife, wake up quickly. We still have so much to do, we haven’t had kids yet. We’re going to have lots and lots of children."

"Wife, you put me under financial control. I really didn’t squander any money, nor did I seek anyone else. I truly love you; you will always be my wife. How could you say you wanted to divorce me? Even if Mengxin is outstanding, in my heart, you’re my wife and no one can replace you."

He Fangqing and Michelle were dumbfounded by what they heard. Xu Yingying actually wanted to divorce Li Yifei and it seemed like it was to make way for Su Mengxin.

Li Yifei kept mumbling to Xu Yingying, but she didn’t respond at all, making his expression grow increasingly grim.

That’s when He Fangqing said, "Yifei, since Yingying is like this now, I think we should let Shanshan know."

Li Yifei slowly turned his head, then nodded lightly, but he said, "Don’t let Shanshan inform our parents. They are old, and seeing their daughter like this, they would surely be heartbroken."

He Fangqing agreed with a nod, feeling somewhat relieved. Although Xu Yingying’s condition was uncertain, at least Li Yifei hadn’t lost his sense and could still take many things into consideration. If Li Yifei had become so agitated that he lost his reason, that would be truly troublesome.
