Chapter 115: Two slaps of 115! Sister Lan has connections that reach the heavens [1 more Chapter/update]

Lin Woyu’s life hung in the balance, and the doctors had already issued a critical illness notice. It was obviously a time of extreme urgency.

What was Ye Wanlan still asking about here? What was there to inquire? Couldn’t she see what was happening?

Did she come here specifically to make them feel worse?

Lin Weilan scolded angrily, "Lin Yue, shut up!"

"Grandma, did I say something wrong?" Lin Yue retorted, unconvinced, "It’s true, what good does her coming here do? It would have been better if she hadn’t come at all!"

"Lin Yue!" Lin Weilan couldn’t contain her fury. Even when the Lin Family went through trouble last time, she hadn’t been this angry, "You’d best realize, it’s your fault your mother ended up like this!"

Lin Qin stared blankly at Lin Yue, her voice more hoarse than it had ever been before: "...Brother, what have you done?"

Lin Yue pursed his lips, his face deathly pale, unable to utter a single word.

"He secretly drove Woyu’s car to race with others and caused trouble on someone else’s turf." Lin Weilan took several deep breaths to steady her voice, "Today, Woyu was driving back from out of town and was intercepted and blocked by four cars; in the end, her car flipped over."

Everyone has their favorites, it’s undeniable, and among the four children, she indeed favored Lin Woyu the most.

Although Lin Woyu had no musical talent, she was extremely adept at business and had cultivated Lin Qin very well.

But Lin Yue had picked up too many bad habits from his father’s side of the family.

"So that’s what happened." Ye Wanlan turned her head, finally looking at Lin Yue.

She stepped forward, raised her hand, and landed a slap across Lin Yue’s face.

Lin Yue, holding his cheek, couldn’t believe it: "You hit me?"

Even his father and mother had never slapped his face!

"Yes, I hit you," Ye Wanlan affirmed coolly, "Undutiful, disrespectful, a shame to the parents who brought you into this world."

She slapped Lin Yue’s left cheek again, her tone even and calm, "Get out."

The three words weren’t heavy, yet they carried weight when spoken.

Lin Weilan too was momentarily overwhelmed by that compelling aura emanating from within.

Not one person spoke up for Lin Yue; even Lin Qin fell silent.

"Fine, I’ll get lost then!" Lin Yue glared resentfully, "You all aren’t tackling the person who caused Mom’s car accident; instead, you slap your own family. I hate you all!"

With that, he ran out of the waiting area without looking back.

Lin Weilan trembled with anger: "That child Lin Yue... has truly been corrupted by his father’s family!"

"Grandma, don’t be angry. If you collapse too, things will only get worse," Ye Wanlan said, looking towards the operating room light, "The surgery is still ongoing; there’s hope."

Of course she couldn’t rashly barge into the operating room at this time. Doing so would not only be unable to save Lin Woyu but would also interfere with the doctor’s treatment, potentially worsening Lin Woyu’s condition.

Lin Weilan was too anxious even to sit and wait, pacing back and forth with a heavy heart.

Lin Qin kept wiping away her tears, which only fell faster.

It felt like needles were continuously pricking her heart, a fine, dense pain spreading with an acidic, oppressive sensation that almost left her breathless.

Her parents had divorced when she was young, and she had always been with Lin Woyu, only occasionally visiting her father’s family.

She didn’t, like Lin Yue, enjoy visiting their father’s side, sticking only to Lin Woyu.

Lin Woyu was usually busy with work and often had to travel, but whenever she had time, she would practice music with her.

If Lin Woyu...

Lin Qin couldn’t bear to think further, bowing her head and crying silently.

At this very moment, at the Jiangcheng Xu Family.

"Nanchu, what’s wrong with you today?" Xu Li asked in puzzlement, "Feeling down?"

Xu Lu also looked over, carefree, "Who messed with my little sister? Tell big brother and I’ll take care of it for you."

"Big brother, second brother, do you know more about Ye Wanlan?" Xu Nanchu asked, "A friend of mine was deceived by the façade she created. I want him to see the real Ye Wanlan."

"That’s something she would do," Xu Li nodded, "I’ll ask Brother Hechen; he’s the one who knows Ye Wanlan best."

Xu Nanchu was very happy: "Second brother, you’re the best."

As Ye Wanlan was mentioned, Xu Lu’s gaze grew colder. Just as he was about to say something, his phone’s ringing broke his train of thought.

As soon as he answered, an anxious voice came through, "Brother Xu, you must save me, please save me!"

Xu Lu was somewhat impatient: "What have you done now? Set a fire or smashed someone’s car?"

He spoke with an air of nonchalance, as if these two acts were nothing out of the ordinary to him.

"It’s... it’s neither of those!" The other party was extremely frantic, "Didn’t I tell you last time, that guy Lin Yue from the Lin Family had the guts to come onto my turf? I wanted to teach him a lesson, so today I got a few brothers together to corner him."

Xu Lu lost interest: "Failed to corner him? You bothered me with such a trifle?"

Stuttering, the other party responded, "We cornered him successfully, but the freaky part was the person in the car wasn’t Lin Yue!" The voice was shaky, "It was a woman, probably his sister or his mom or something. I watched the car crash into the bushes, and I’m afraid the person is as good as dead!"

"What?" Xu Lu’s tone soared when life was at stake, and he cursed angrily, "You couldn’t see who was driving before you cornered them? Has a slug eaten your brain?"

"Brother Xu, I really miscalculated this time. I didn’t expect that brat to be without a car and had to go drive a grown-up’s car," the voice trembled, "What should we do? If the person really dies, I’ll be..."

"I will get it resolved for you," Xu Lu said, barely containing his anger, "Just this one time, next time you’ll be the one sitting in a cell!"

The other party was overjoyed: "Thank you, Brother Xu, I will find new merchandise for Brother Xu for free."

"You know what’s good for you," Xu Lu hung up the phone, "All day doing nothing but finding trouble for me."

Xu Li was somewhat surprised: "The Lin Family? Isn’t that Ye Wanlan..."

"Oh? There’s that connection?" Xu Lu narrowed his eyes, "Then I must take care of this properly."

Xu Li was startled, "Brother, don’t act rashly, you’ve seen what happened to the Qin Family, I’m afraid..."

"Qin Xian has no brains, and you think I don’t?" Xu Lu snorted dismissively, "Do I need you to tell me? Eat your food and cut the chatter."

An hour later, the light in the operating room finally went off.

The door opened, and the chief surgeon came out.

"Doctor, how’s my mother?" Lin Qin approached with wobbly legs, hope still in her eyes, "Is there..."

"I’m sorry, we did everything we could," the chief surgeon shook his head wearily, "The patient has not yet woken up, there’s a ninety percent chance she will become a vegetative state, and we will need to amputate both her legs and the lower half of her body."

Hit by this devastating news, Lin Qin’s vision went black, and she fainted on the spot, sending the medical staff into a flurry of activity.

Ye Wanlan supported Lin Weilan, but her thoughts were racing.

The fifth part of Taiyi Divine Needle spoke of how to treat patients in a vegetative state.

Three hundred years ago, during the Ning Dynasty, the term "vegetative state" didn’t exist, and Taiyi Palace referred to it as "Wooden Stiff."

The former Sect Leader of the Divine Strategy Army, one of the Six Great Sects, became a Wooden Stiff after sustaining severe injuries on the battlefield, and later, thanks to the treatment of several elders of Taiyi Palace, he was revived.

For the current Ye Wanlan, as long as the person was not dead and still had a breath left in them, there was hope for a cure.

"Grandma, don’t worry, Auntie can be saved," Ye Wanlan whispered softly, "Take good care of your health, I promise that by sunset tomorrow, Auntie will be able to wake up."

After making sure Lin Weilan was settled, Ye Wanlan went to find the president of the First Hospital.

"Before I return, use the best medicine the hospital has to preserve my aunt’s vital signs," said Ye Wanlan calmly, "Don’t worry about the cost, I will take care of everything."

"Miss Ye, you’re too polite," the president couldn’t help but wipe away sweat, "Saving lives and helping the injured is our duty as doctors, even without you saying so, we would still do it."

"Good," Ye Wanlan took out her phone and opened a group chat.

Before the acupuncture, she needed two types of poison.

Jasperry and Mountain Spirit Liquid.

She had consulted Su Xueqing previously and learned that Shenzhou no longer had these poisons, only the Global Center had a few plants left.

[YN]: @Deadly Poison Master, come out and talk.

[Deadly Poison Master]: Here here here!

[YN]: Jasperry and Mountain Spirit Liquid.

[Deadly Poison Master]: Got ’em!

[YN]: Private chat.

Deadly Poison Master, an ID that rarely made an appearance, instantly replied to YN’s message, and the group suddenly came alive.

[Cultured Person]: Deadly Bro only shows up when Rich Sister calls, to be honest, I don’t even feel like calling you with such a chuuni nickname.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: I told you, Rich Sister is certainly a doctor, if we need her, we should be looking in hospitals!

Actually, people in the group had already made accurate guesses about each other’s identities, like World’s Richest.

Looking around the entire Global Center, the only one with that kind of wealth is the President of the World Bank.

Yet only YN remained a mystery, with no known age or whereabouts.

[World’s Richest]: Do I need to buy out all the hospitals in the Global Center for you?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Rich Sister, for you, I can also don a white coat and become a doctor! Just look at me!

Ye Wanlan had already closed the group chat and was privately chatting with [Deadly Poison Master].

[YN]: I need it urgently, send it by express delivery.

[Deadly Poison Master]: By the time you asked, I had already packed it up and sent it with the courier. It’s unfortunate my experiment is at its most critical juncture, I really can’t get away. Otherwise, I would have personally delivered this express just to see what you actually look like.

[YN]: We will meet.

Four years of her time had been stolen, but she had gained an additional nine hundred ninety-nine years. Her plans would not be interrupted.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue was wandering the streets aimlessly, filled with resentment.

How was any of this his fault?

He didn’t want things to turn out like this!

Two hours later, Lin Yue, still unable to settle his mind, returned to the hospital and learned the news about Lin Woyu becoming a vegetative state.

Now he was truly panicked and made a desperate call to his father: "Dad, my mom... my mom probably won’t wake up, I want to live with you from now on, I can take your surname too."
