The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 632 - Chapter 632 Chapter 632 Ya Ling is also a Victim of 726

Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Ya Ling is also a Victim of 726 Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Ya Ling is also a Victim of 726 Xiao Qimo furrowed his brows as he answered the phone.

A man’s voice, panting heavily, came from the other side.

“Qimo, can you come to the police hospital?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qimo’s expression grew solemn, instantly switching from the love-struck haze to the commanding presence of Boss Qimo.

He patted Ye Jinwen’s shoulder, “Come with me.”

Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen rushed to the hospital late at night.

The call had been made by Wa Zhiqi.

On the way, Ye Jinwen asked him what had happened.

Xiao Qimo simply replied, “Wa Zhiqi was shot” and said no more.

“Is it Wa Zhiqi, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Bureau who once worked with you on a major international case?”

Muttering to himself, Ye Jinwen had an inkling of the gravity of the situation.

If Boss Qimo was personally involved, this late-night call was far from ordinary.

The two quickly arrived at the emergency room.

Wa Zhiqi was still lying on the hospital bed, looking somewhat pale, with his shoulder treated and freshly bandaged.

Upon seeing Xiao Qimo, he attempted to sit up.

Xiao Qimo strode over and pressed him down, “Don’t get up.

How bad are your wounds?”

Ye Jinwen glanced at the bandages and turned away, subconsciously fleeing the scene.

Wa Zhiqi shook his head, “It’s not a big deal.”

A nurse came over, frowning with a syringe in hand, “Not a big deal?

Five centimeters from the heart, and though the bullet has been removed, there are still fragments inside!”

“When is the surgery?” Xiao Qimo asked.

As the nurse busied herself with Wa Zhiqi’s IV, she said, “The on-call doctor hasn’t started the surgery yet, we’re arranging it.

In the meantime, please ask the patient not to move.”

Xiao Qimo squinted his eyes at Wa Zhiqi.

After the nurse left the room, Xiao Qimo, having thought of something, called out to Ye Jinwen, “Ye Jinwen, perform the surgery.”

“What?”

Ye Jinwen, upon being named, clung to the doorframe with a questioning look, “Boss, you aren’t unaware of my current situation, how can I operate on the captain?

So close to the heart, if my hand shakes, I might take his life.”

Wa Zhiqi shivered, “Mr.

Xiao, I’ll just wait for the arrangements.

As long as I keep still, I can hold out a while longer.”

Being from the Jinjing family, he naturally knew Ye Jinwen.

He trusted Ye Jinwen, but not his hands.

Xiao Qimo let out a cold laugh, “Can you guarantee that lying on the operating table, the surgeon is one of our own, and not someone sent by our opponents?”

After he finished speaking, Wa Zhiqi shivered violently.

His injury today was no accident.

It was…

If he were lying anesthetized on the operating table, the other side had a hundred ways to silently kill him.

“Mr.

Xiao, there are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Save it until after the surgery,” Xiao Qimo decisively interrupted Wa Zhiqi, his gaze deeply settling on Ye Jinwen, “Ye Jinwen, at this moment, you’re the only person Captain Wa trusts.”

Wa Zhiqi: When did I ever say that?

“It’s not that, Boss, I really can’t…

I…” Ye Jinwen looked at his own handsaEUR”the very hands that crippled Shen Yixin’s left arm.

It was because of that surgery that he and Xi Xi were separated by life and death for two years.

He loathed these hands and the operating table.

Xiao Qimo looked at him as if he were a hopeless case, “Don’t you want to partner up with Ya Ling?

And you’re in this state?”

“…I need time, I need to go slow…”

“Now is your chance.”

Wa Zhiqi: Am I a guinea pig?

Ye Jinwen was about to object when Xiao Qimo gave him a cold glare.

“Do you want to know why Ya Ling is so distant with you?

Complete this surgery well, and I will tell you.”

“Qimo?”

Ye Jinwen looked up at the man opposite him, clearly aware that the other party knew something he did not.

And it was of utmost importance.

Ye Jinwen hesitated for a long while before finally nodding firmly.

“Okay, I promise you.”

For Ya Ling, he must do well in this surgery.

For the sake of Shen Yixin’s hand, he also had to succeed in this surgery.

Wa Zhiqi scratched the blanket with difficulty, “That…

Mr.

Xiao, aren’t you going to discuss this further?”

Xiao Qimo: “There’s no need.”

Ye Jinwen: “Team Wa, don’t worry!”

Wa Zhiqi: I’m not reassured!

I’m really not!

Thanks to Ye Jinwen’s qualifications and Xiao Qimo’s arrangements, the hospital promptly prepared the operating room.

Team Wa, with no say in the matter, was pushed onto the operating table and shed tears of humility before the anaesthetic took effect.

It had been over two years since he last saw the operating room, which was familiar yet cold to Ye Jinwen.

He could recall every detail of following his grandfather onto the operating table with Ya Ling, and he couldn’t forget the failed surgery on Shen Yixin, coming off the table to the news of Ye Lingxi’s death.

He was angry at himself for neither saving Xi Xi nor harming Shen Yixin.

To this day, he dared not delve deep into whether he was fully committed when operating on Shen Yixin…

Ye Jinwen took a deep breath, pulled out his phone, flipped to the photo album, and looked at a photo of him and Ye Lingxi.

Xi Xi, I really don’t want to leave, you, even for a bit, not at all.

In the end, he resolutely entered the operating room.

aEUR”aEUR”

Xiao Qimo’s decision, though seemingly emotional, was the result of careful consideration.

He understood Ye Jinwen, who was not incapable of performing surgery, but rather lacked the right opportunity and courage.

Moreover, extracting a bullet wasn’t a very complicated surgery; Ye Jinwen could handle it without any issue.

Just as Xiao Qimo had predicted, Ye Jinwen’s surgery went smoothly.

The bullet had not penetrated too deeply, and Wa Zhiqi was promptly returned to his ward.

And Ye Jinwen, pale-faced, sat down on a corridor bench.

As if he had just been through a battle of the century, he was utterly drained.

Xiao Qimo came over and handed him a bottle of ice water.

“You’ve done it.”

Ye Jinwen looked up, “Qimo, thank you.”

After gulping down two sips of ice water, he also prepared himself mentally, “Qimo, go ahead, I’m listening.”

Xiao Qimo kept his promise and began to speak slowly after sitting down.

“Ya Ling didn’t have a car accident, she was kidnapped.

She was one of the victims of the 726 kidnapping case.”

“…”

“She was kidnapped along with your father, and your mother went to pay the ransom.”

Xiao Qimo only said these two sentences and didn’t say more, but these were enough.

From initial shock, to trembling, to disbelief, and then to acceptance, Ye Jinwen experienced huge waves of emotion.

His face remained pale, his lips slightly trembling, devoid of color.

He finally understood why Xi Xi and Lu Mian would know each other.

He finally understood why Xi Xi showed that kind of indifferent smile whenever his mother was mentioned.

He finally understood what the barrier between him and Xi Xi was.

After a long while, Ye Jinwen, with a shaking voice, struggled to speak: “Qimo, am I a really terrible person…”

“What I say doesn’t matter.”

Ye Jinwen took a deep look at Xiao Qimo, “Qimo, I’m going back first.

Team Wa is stable for now, there’s nothing serious.”

“Okay.”
