Chapter 405: Chapter 316 The Wealthy Big Brother of the Qi Family

Qi Chen followed through on his promise.

After learning about the exact whereabouts of Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, he quickly arranged for a private jet to take them both back to the capital.

With the private jet service, what would have been several hours of travel time via high-speed train and plane was condensed to two hours by Qi Chen.

The private jet flew out of the capital and reached Wangjiang District in about an hour, and then it took another hour to bring Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou back, totaling two hours.

Jiang Ning knew the Qi Family was wealthy, but they always kept a low profile. This was the first time she truly witnessed the Qi Family’s opulence.

Watching Qi Xingzhou gradually regain his agility, Jiang Ning felt completely at ease flying on the Qi Family’s private jet.

Unbeknownst to Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou while they were aboard the Qi Family’s private jet, in another part of City A, a hospital’s operating room doors, which had been closed for several hours, had finally been opened by the nurses after a long wait filled with the family’s anxious anticipation.

Families hurriedly approached, "Doctor! How is my wife doing?"

While pushing the patient out on the bed, the nurse reassured them, "Don’t worry, your wife’s surgery was very successful! Make way, make way, let’s get the patient back to their room first."

Several family members cried tears of joy and quickly followed alongside the bed.

In the now quiet operating room, all that remained was Li Zhichun, exhaustedly slumped on the floor, and a few assistants.

The surgery had taken more than seven hours.

During those seven hours, Li Zhichun had neither eaten nor drunk, maintaining high alertness and focusing solely on the surgery, which speaks volumes about how much physical and mental energy he had expended.

After seeing the patient safely wheeled out, the tightly wound string in Li Zhichun’s heart finally relaxed, and suddenly everything went dark before his eyes. He immediately collapsed to the floor, utterly drained.

The assistants, initially busy packing away the equipment, heard the noise, turned around, and were shocked by the sight. They immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed over, "Doctor Li! Are you alright? What happened to you?!"

"I’m fine," Li Zhichun shook his head, his complexion a bit pale, "I think I have low blood sugar."

He had only had breakfast since he got up that day and had been busy ever since. Finally, when he had a moment to spare, he went to the police station to pick up Li Ling. It was fortunate that Li Ling was unharmed; otherwise, Li Zhichun would have been filled with regret.

Hearing this, the assistants searched their pockets but found no food to offer.

At that moment, one assistant had a stroke of inspiration and took out a small bag of edible glucose, saying, "Doctor Li, drink this!"

Although the taste of glucose was not great, it was the most effective remedy for low blood sugar.

Li Zhichun was not only feeling dizzy, but his empty stomach was burning uncomfortably too. He nodded without refusing and took the bag of glucose, "Put this bag of glucose on my tab."

After drinking the glucose, another assistant personally brought Li Zhichun a cup of warm water.

Drinking the water and finally feeling less uncomfortable, Li Zhichun left the operating room and went back to his office.

Inside the office, Li Ling was sitting at Li Zhichun’s usual desk, looking down at her phone.

When she heard the noise, Li Ling lifted her head, her eyes instantly lighting up, "Daddy, are you finally done with your work?"

"Yeah, that surgery took a bit longer than expected..." Li Zhichun looked at his daughter with an apologetic gaze, "Are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, not hungry," Li Ling shook her head, "A nurse brought me some food earlier, and there’s a portion for you too. But you haven’t come back all this time, and now the food is cold."

Li Ling said this and pointed to the boxed meal on the office desk in front of her.
