Chapter 627: Forcibly Entering the Elevator

At G City’s First Affiliated Hospital, in front of the emergency surgery room.

The lights of the surgery room were flickering incessantly.

Liu Yuan stood at the door of the surgery room, pacing back and forth restlessly. Anxiety was written all over his eyes and face as his gaze repeatedly shifted to the emergency room lights in front of him. More than an hour had passed, but the light remained on, and no news had come from inside.

The longer the time passed, the worse the situation likely was, and Liu Yuan knew this all too well. This was why, after making that phone call, his mind, which had just calmed down a bit, quickly became restless and uneasy again.

Director Chen is blessed by heaven, he will definitely be alright.

Liu Yuan’s fists were clenched tightly, and he silently recited this over and over in his heart, his forehead’s veins unnaturally protruding.

"Secretary Liu, please sit for a while. Director Chen is blessed by heaven; he will definitely be fine," someone said.

"Yes, Doctor Niu is one of the most outstanding doctors in our hospital. In the global medical community, he is a renowned expert. With him on the job, there definitely won’t be any accidents."

"..."

Next to Liu Yuan stood a group of people, some of whom were burly men, and a few were clad in white lab coats. Among these people were members of the Jianguo Group who had escorted Liu Yuan and Chen Jianguo over, as well as leaders from the First Affiliated Hospital. Their faces all showed signs of tension, especially those in white lab coats.

Facing such an important figure, no one dared to take it lightly. Even the hospital’s top leaders had personally come to the doors of the surgery room to wait, and the leading surgeon had been urgently summoned by a phone call directly from the top leaders.

Although they, too, were extremely nervous and anxious, upon seeing Liu Yuan pacing continuously, they couldn’t help but speak out to comfort him.

Listening to their words of comfort, Liu Yuan didn’t say anything. He just fell silent for a moment before continuing his pacing, the anxious look still heavy on his face.

He simply couldn’t find any comfort, knowing very well that if something happened to Chen Jianguo, the consequences would be far from trivial. At this moment, the Jianguo Group absolutely couldn’t do without Chen Jianguo. If even a slight problem arose, the entire Jianguo Group might crumble, and the business empire that Chen Jianguo had worked so hard to build would collapse.

Even deeper in his heart, he knew that if something truly happened to Chen Jianguo, he himself would live in guilt and pain for the rest of his life. He was in utter agony and regret. Earlier, when that bullet came his way, why, why hadn’t he reacted in time, or rather, why was he so useless that he hadn’t been able to throw himself forward in time to shield Chen Jianguo from the shot.

Over the years, although Chen Jianguo only treated him as a secretary in front of outsiders and never showed any excessive intimacy, Liu Yuan himself knew that Chen Jianguo treated him like his own brother, without any reservations. Whenever he had any trouble, Chen would help him resolve it with all his might. It was Chen Jianguo who had appreciated him when he first came to G City and was making a mess of things, who had taken him by his side, taught him knowledge, and showed him many things. It was how he slowly grew into who he was today, someone capable of managing the big picture, a man who could control a large company, the steward of the Jianguo Group!

Even laying down his life in repayment to Chen Jianguo would not suffice to repay the great kindness he had received....

He would have preferred to be the one lying in the intensive care unit, not Chen Jianguo....

And what made him feel even more ashamed was that he, as the chief secretary, had been completely paralyzed with fear at that moment, unable to react at all, whereas Wang Dawei, who had not been around Chen Jianguo for long and was initially employed just because of Xiao Yi’s recommendation, the driver he himself had arranged, had actually reacted. He had lunged forward, buying Chen Jianguo a bit of time until the security team arrived......

Thinking of Wang Dawei, Liu Yuan finally turned his gaze towards another emergency operation room. Looking at the door and the continuously flashing red light, he once again clenched his fists tightly. Within his gaze emerged a trace of profound gratitude and a deeply sincere prayer.

Big Brother Wang, thank you so much. You are a true man; please take care of yourself!

Liu Yuan silently chanted in his heart.

...............

"Excuse me, where is the emergency surgery room?"

The moment Xiao Yi burst through the doors of the First Affiliated Hospital, he immediately grabbed the hand of a nurse carrying a tray and dressed in a white coat, his expression filled with urgency.

"At the end of the corridor, turn right. It’s on the 23rd floor of the inpatient building’s top floor."

The nurse was so startled by Xiao Yi’s sudden movement that she froze, her young face turning pale with fright. It took a moment for her to recover and, seeing the urgency on Xiao Yi’s face, she managed to suppress the urge to curse and call security, instead pointing in a direction ahead.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Yi’s figure had already dashed off.

"He... he’s so fast!"

The young nurse stared blankly as Xiao Yi sprinted toward the exit, dumbfounded for a duration before finally regaining her senses and murmuring in astonishment.

Rushing to the inpatient building the nurse had indicated, Xiao Yi saw the crowded lobby filled with either families or patients waiting for the elevator. After a quick glance, he headed straight for the only elevator without a queue, marked ’Private,’ and pressed the button.

But when he pressed it, he realized that the elevator was not responding. His gaze immediately shifted to the security guard in front.

"Young man, please use the elevator to the side. This is an emergency channel and is not for public use. Didn’t you see the sign?"

Xiao Yi hadn’t had a chance to respond before the security guard spoke up in a rather rude tone, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery as if ridiculing him for not understanding the rules and trying to use this elevator despite the signage.

"Open this elevator for me now!"

Xiao Yi didn’t waste any words, his gaze coldly fixed on the security guard in front. To save time and see Chen Jianguo’s condition sooner, he was prepared to stop at nothing.

"What do you mean by this!"

That security guard, under the intensity of Xiao Yi’s stare, suddenly felt a chill as though the temperature had dropped significantly, experiencing an inner fear and dread. But given the public setting and many eyes upon him, coupled with his own background as a former soldier, he regained his composure after a moment’s hesitation and mustered the courage to ask Xiao Yi, "Are you trying to cause trouble here?"

"Open the elevator."

Xiao Yi repeated the same few words, but his gaze had grown even colder.

He was desperately trying to save time, and this security guard was wasting it with all his nonsense. After all, Chen Jianguo’s life hung in the balance, and the situation upstairs was uncertain; seizing even a second could mean an extra chance at survival!

His eyes were exuding an explosive and bloody intensity, and it was with great effort that he restrained the overwhelming impulse to slap this damn security guard silent. His voice was frosty as he said, "I need to go up for an emergency. If you delay me, you won’t be able to afford the consequences!"

"What... what are you trying to do... Are you a doctor? Which department are you from? I haven’t seen you before?"

Feeling the terrifying chill in Xiao Yi’s gaze, the security guard was finally scared, his voice quivering as he spoke. When he felt the collective gazes of those around him focus on him, he summoned a sliver of courage and managed to speak a complete sentence.

"Snap!"

Xiao Yi couldn’t hold back any longer. Ignoring the security guard, he moved quickly to the man’s side, grabbed him like he was picking up a chicken, and carried him to the elevator, his eyes icy as he repeated, "Open the elevator."

Seeing Xiao Yi up close, who appeared even thinner than him, the security guard felt the immense coldness and fright in his stare, as if he were engulfed in the breath of the Grim Reaper himself.

Shivering, he dared not hesitate anymore, his hands trembling as he took out the elevator key and opened the door.

"Click!"

As the elevator doors opened, Xiao Yi released his grip, dropping the security guard to the floor, turned, and disappeared into the elevator, pressing the button for the twenty-third floor.

"Report, report, there’s a disturbance in the inpatient building! The intruder has taken the emergency elevator directly up to... to the 23rd floor..."

As the elevator doors closed, the security guard on the ground suddenly realized his clothes were completely soaked through. Recalling that feeling, almost like an encounter with the Grim Reaper, fear showed in his eyes. It took him a moment to recover before he quickly pulled out his walkie-talkie and began shouting into it. After he finished, he stood up again and pressed the button for the emergency elevator.
