Chapter 818: Chapter 820 Only 40% Confident_1

Bai Ruozhu’s heart jerked violently as she looked at her pale second brother lying on the stretcher. For a moment, her surroundings seemed to turn into nothingness; all she could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat, amplified to the extreme.

No, it couldn’t be, how could it be Er Lang? No, he’s such a good person, so outstanding, he won’t die!

Suddenly, tears blurred her vision, yet Bai Ruozhu, crazed with panic, rushed forward. Jiang Yichun, who was by her side, also dashed over, grabbing her and saying, "Ruozhu, you need to stay calm, otherwise how will you save your second brother?"

At that moment, Lin Ping’er and Bai Yihong surged out from the main house. Upon seeing Bai Zepei’s condition, Lin Ping’er collapsed to the ground and immediately burst into a cry of utter desolation.

Pulled back to reality by her mother’s wailing, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but shiver. It was the first time she had heard her mother cry like that, so mournful and so desperate. Her heart ached tremendously, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

The embroiderers in the yard were all terrified, none daring to move or say another word.

"Carry him inside the house carefully. Lamei, prepare the hot water; make sure it’s boiled and left to cool. Cui Fan, you dispatch someone to send the embroiderers back to the Shop," Jiang Yichun organized everything methodically. The shocking turn of events had driven the Bai Family to near insanity, but chaos could not reign, so he had to take charge.

Bai Zehao also emerged from the house, his face losing all color with shock, rushing over to help carry the stretcher with Qin Kaichang, his voice choked with sobs, "How could this have happened? Who hurt him?"

Qin Kaichang, bathed in sweat, said, "I don’t know either. We’d just left the Study Palace when suddenly a Dark Arrow flew at us. I’m afraid his condition... if it gets to the Clinic..." He hesitated to say anything inauspicious, cutting himself off only to add, "Everyone says Little Sister Bai’s medical skills are exceptional, so I immediately found people to carry Zepei back here."

By this time, the wounded man had been carried into Bai Zepei’s own room. Bai Ruozhu, not bothering to ask Qin Kaichang any more questions, found a pair of scissors and cut open her second brother’s shirt at the chest, exposing his torso completely. His clothes were stained red with a large patch of blood. After cutting open the clothes, the arrow lodged in his chest appeared even more startling.

This time, Bai Yihong and Bai Zehao began to cry. Lin Ping’er continued to weep with piercing agony, like an old person about to lose their most beloved child, sobbing, "What am I to do with my Er Lang..."

Bai Ruozhu’s nose felt sour. She vigorously wiped away her tears; Jiang Yichun was right, she had to remain calm; otherwise, how would she save her second brother?

"Father, Mother, stop crying, I will definitely save Er Lang. No one can take him away from us, not even the Yama King himself!" Bai Ruozhu declared, a resolute light shining in her eyes, steadying everyone around her, even the inconsolable Lin Ping’er, whose screams lessened into a faint sob, as if clutching onto a lifeline.

Bai Ruozhu didn’t dare touch the arrow in her brother’s chest, but her hands moved quickly, inserting needles to stop the bleeding and protect the Heart Meridian. She noticed the arrow’s location was slightly off; fortunately, it had missed the heart, otherwise... she dared not think further.

She wiped the tears that blurred her vision once more, fighting back the urge to cry, and stuffed a medicine pill into her second brother’s mouth.

Seeing her in such a state, Jiang Yichun’s heart ached intensely, his expression turning grim. He quietly stepped out of the room, gesturing subtly, and immediately his subordinates appeared before him.

"Find out who did this, who attacked Bai Zepei, and who’s the mastermind behind it," he commanded with a cold face.

Chenfeng and Muyu promptly accepted the order. Although the young master was usually strict with them, he rarely displayed such a murderous aura as he did now. They knew they had to handle this task well, or else they would face the young master’s severe punishment.

Bai Ruozhu had Lamei bring over water, and she carefully cleaned her second brother’s wound, but she still refrained from touching the arrow embedded in his chest.

Bai Yihong, who had been fixating on the arrow, couldn’t help but ask, "Ruozhu, what about the arrow? It can’t stay in there forever, can it?"

Bai Ruozhu was already pacing anxiously in the room, not lifting her head, she said, "We’ll pull it out later, let me think a bit more."

Pulling out the arrow was extremely dangerous, although she could use acupuncture to stop the bleeding, there were still many other issues to consider, such as damage to the internal organs that could cause the patient to suddenly suffocate or go into shock, etc. She dared not pull it out, she had said she wanted to save her second brother, she couldn’t let him die by her own hands.

Jiang Yichun walked in from outside the room, grabbed her slightly trembling hand, and gently said, "You prepare everything, I’ll pull out the arrow."

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes were once again moistened with tears, it was still him who understood her, knew she dared not pull out the arrow, she was truly afraid, so afraid that her hands were shaking. She had heard before that doctors should not treat themselves, it’s not only because doctors shouldn’t treat their own illnesses, it’s also not good for doctors to treat their relatives, especially for major surgeries because concern leads to chaos, and the procedures that would usually not be difficult became exceptionally hard when trying to remain calm.

She nodded and said, "Achun, thank you."

After she finished speaking, she got busy, preparing hot water, alcohol, and Golden Wound Medicine to stop the bleeding, as well as ginseng to hang on to life.

Once everything was ready, Bai Ruozhu said to her family, "All of you, go out. The scene later might be frightening, your presence here could also affect the treatment."

She thought her parents would probably faint at the sight of pulling out the arrow. She hurriedly gave her elder brother a look, signaling for him to take the parents out.

"Dad, Mom, let’s go outside; let’s not hinder our sister from saving our second brother. We’ll just wait outside, alright?" Bai Zehao helped Lin Pinger out, coaxing and urging the two people to leave the room.

Qin Kaichang also tactfully retreated.

Now, only Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun remained in the room. He looked at her with a serious expression and asked, "How confident are you?"

Bai Ruozhu’s nose felt a bit sour, "Thirty percent."

Jiang Yichun also understood medical skills, in his eyes, there was only twenty percent chance, because the arrow was lodged too deeply.

"If you can use your inner strength to probe while pulling out the arrow, carefully avoiding the internal organs, and if your movements are both accurate and swift, we can increase it to forty percent," said Bai Ruozhu in a serious tone.

Jiang Yichun reached out to feel for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright, leave this to me."

Hearing this, she suddenly felt her entire being calm down, as though at the most critical, most uncertain moment, she had found a savior.

Having him by her side was truly wonderful.

"I’m ready, go ahead and pull out the arrow," Bai Ruozhu’s eyes shimmered again with a determined light; she had to increase that forty percent, she absolutely had to save her second brother.

"Alright, pay attention," Jiang Yichun took a deep breath, carefully grabbed the shaft of the arrow, then carefully moved it and said in a low voice, "Starting now!"

No sooner had his words fallen than he skillfully pulled out the arrow. Blood spurted out, splashing faces of Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun, the crimson blur obscured her vision, but she inserted the needles with unruffled precision, not hesitating for a fraction of a second.
