Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Within a Single Step...

Yin Hehe rushed to the hospital.

But she found that when she got there, the area outside the operating room was already crowded with people, all from the military.

Some were from the Xiahou Family.

"What’s the situation?"

Seeing so many people, she didn’t know who to ask, but when she saw Xiahou Shaojie, a hoodlum who was there, she dragged him over and asked.

Xiahou Shaojie was enjoying the commotion, suddenly being pulled over gave him quite a fright.

"Why is it you?" After recognizing it was Yin Hehe, the hoodlum immediately spoke up unhappily.

Yin Hehe ignored his dissatisfaction and directly asked again, "I’m asking you what the situation is like now?"

"I’m not very clear myself, Grandpa was taken into the operating room, and the doctors haven’t come out yet."

Xiahou Yi was actually taken into the operating room for emergency treatment?

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe’s face changed.

"What about Xiahou Jingmu? How is he doing?" she immediately asked about him next.

Fortunately, this time the hoodlum pointed towards the direction of the emergency department not too far away.

"He’s inside there. His injuries aren’t as severe as Grandpa’s, just a broken arm."

"..."

Yin Hehe stepped towards the emergency department.

Xiahou Yi was already an old man in his eighties; it was understandable that he was injured more severely in the car accident than the younger generation.

Yin Hehe saw Xiahou Jingmu in the emergency department, his arm already set in plaster.

"Junior General, are you alright?" She walked in and stood beside his hospital bed to ask.

Xiahou Jingmu immediately looked up.

"Why are you here?"

His face still had many small wounds that had not been treated, and at first glance, it looked somewhat bloodstained.

Yet, when he saw Yin Hehe, his eyes clearly brightened.

Yin Hehe nodded, "I heard that you guys had an accident, so I came to check on you. How are you? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just a minor injury," Xiahou Jingmu quickly expressed with ease.

For a military man like him, such an injury truly was nothing.

Yin Hehe, seeing this, also felt her heart relax.

"How did you guys get into a car accident? I heard from Uncle Zhong that you were going to Penglai Pavilion to meet foreign guests. Isn’t that road very smooth?"

She asked this question as well.

As her words fell, the young general in front of her paused, probably not expecting this woman to know all these details.

"Well, actually it was... a collision that happened because we couldn’t avoid a truck in time," he explained after regaining his composure and glancing at his arm in plaster.

A truck?

Yin Hehe frowned again.

Indeed, she had familiarized herself with that place because, due to many years of professional habits, she would learn about the local situation whenever she went to a new place, which was a basic task for a lawyer.

So, for the road to Penglai Pavilion that she knew of, there shouldn’t be any trucks.

Unless it was official cargo.

But before she could ask further, someone suddenly came in from outside.

"Major, Old General Xiahou has been brought out!"

"!!!!"

Immediately, both of them turned and left the emergency department.

A few minutes later, when they reached the operating room’s entrance, what they saw was Xiahou Yi being wheeled out.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"We’ve managed to remove the broken bones in his lung area, but given his old age, whether he can get through the critical period, we’ll have to see over the next 24 hours," the hospital director, an old friend of Xiahou Yi who personally performed the surgery, said gravely as he saw the group.

In an instant, after these words were spoken, there was silence among the crowd.

And Xiahou Jingmu staggered back several steps.

"Brother, are you alright?" Xiahou Shaojie saw him and quickly reached out to support him.

Yin Hehe’s expression also didn’t look too good.

Although she disliked Xiahou Yi, she didn’t want anything to happen to him, knowing that if he fell, the Xiahou Family would be thrown into chaos.

At that time, life wouldn’t be easy for her and Sheng Siyuan either.

Yin Hehe followed them to the intensive care unit.

"Director, I want to ask, how exactly was he injured? How could it be so serious? Even his ribs have pierced into his lungs?"

She immediately approached the director as he came out of the ICU.

Director: "..."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? It was a car accident, and you still ask how he was injured? Should the car flip over and give you a demonstration?"

Xiahou’s third uncle actually butted in, starting to lecture Yin Hehe in front of everybody.

Yin Hehe’s pretty face immediately darkened.

She wanted to explain that wasn’t what she meant; she just wanted to understand the details in order to assess the old man’s chances of waking up.

But very quickly, she realized that with just those few words, the people from the Xiahou Family standing there displayed very angry and rejecting expressions toward her.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Forget it, as if she hadn’t asked.

Yin Hehe stepped aside.

Before long, the visitors from the military left, and only the Xiahou Family members remained in the hospital.

"Let’s divide up the tasks and decide who will stay here today."

Upon seeing only his relatives around, Xiahou’s third uncle once again took on the responsibility as head of the family and started assigning tasks.

As his words settled, someone immediately stepped forward.

"I can stay, there’s nothing important at home today."

"Me too..."

In just a few minutes, unexpectedly, these people all wanted to stay.

Yin Hehe was genuinely surprised by this scene.

It seemed that these people still had some conscience, worthy of the family that the old man had spent his life guarding.

She quietly stood aside.

But at that moment, Xiahou Jingmu, who had been silently sitting on a bench with his arms folded for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"You all can go back. I’ll be fine here."

"What?" Xiahou’s third uncle let out an extremely exaggerated cry.

"You’re injured like this, how can you stay here? Xiahou Jingmu, that’s enough. There’s no need to show filial piety at this time."

"You..."

A single sentence made the young general, who already felt a great deal of guilt, even more embarrassed and enraged.

Yin Hehe could not stand to watch any longer.

She knew that Xiahou’s third uncle was actually the biggest troublemaker in the Xiahou Family, but to speak so impolitely to a junior was something she had never seen before.

"Third Uncle, isn’t what you said a bit too much? As a junior, showing filial respect for an elder who cared for and nurtured him, what’s wrong with that?"

She stood up and spoke very bluntly.

Immediately, the accusation made the old man’s face turn green.

"What’s it to you? I’m scolding him; is it your place to butt in? If not for him, would the old master ever end up like this?"

He started berating her at once.

Xiahou Jingmu stood by the side; hearing his words, his expression turned even paler. His head bowed even lower, and it was clear his shoulders were trembling.

Yin Hehe noticed and felt her anger grow.

"What’s wrong with me? I am Xiahou Yi’s daughter-in-law. By status, you have even less right to meddle in this matter. I haven’t even spoken, what are you piping up for?"

"You—"

That statement was harsh!

Right then, it choked the old man to the point where his neck thickened.

And Xiahou Jingmu abruptly looked up again, his eyes fixed on Yin Hehe, not moving away for a long time!
