Chapter 568: Chapter 569: Except for You!

"Song Xiaodong, this is Qiao Yutong. Your sister, Song Xiaoru, has had an accident, and she is being taken to the hospital now."

Upon receiving this call from Qiao Yutong, Song Xiaodong felt as if he had been struck by lightning, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and said, "How is she? Is she still alive?"

Qiao Yutong immediately replied, "She’s alive. She fell from the sixth floor, but luckily, a tree broke her fall. From what we can see, she should still be savable."

Song Xiaodong said, "Good, take her to City First Hospital. I’ll be there right away."

Ten minutes later, Song Xiaodong had arrived at the hospital, just as the ambulance did. Seeing his sister, Song Xiaoru, being pushed out, he felt a surge of blood rush to his brain, nearly exploding with rage.

Song Xiaoru’s clothes were cut and tattered, her entire body stained red with blood. Xiaodong would be distressed even if Xiaoru suffered a minor injury. Seeing her in such a terrible state was unbearable for him.

"Who did this?" Song Xiaodong asked while running alongside the nurse toward the emergency room, addressing Qiao Yutong who followed.

Qiao Yutong responded, "We’re not sure yet. Our people are investigating the scene, and we should have the results soon. I notified you first when I found out it was your sister."

"Alright, I owe you one for this. I need to go save my sister now," Song Xiaodong said succinctly, rushing straight into the emergency room.

By now, there wasn’t a doctor in City First Hospital who didn’t know of Song Xiaodong, so when they saw that he wanted to be directly involved in the rescue, no one objected. At his request, only two junior nurses remained, and the rest were asked to leave.

Song Xiaodong first examined Song Xiaoru’s injuries: brain hemorrhage, internal organ damage, and countless fractures and external injuries. Surviving a fall from the sixth floor was already a miracle. For any doctor, these were acceptable injuries.

But this was Song Xiaodong’s own sister. He felt as if his heart was being fried in oil.

He knew this wasn’t the time to be angry or to seek explanations. The most important thing was to save his sister’s life. He took several deep breaths, and the silver needles in his hands danced as he started by treating her head, which was the most life-threatening part.

Then he moved on to her internal injuries, channeling his True Qi continuously from his hands into Song Xiaoru’s body.

After more than three hours, Song Xiaodong finally stopped. He had treated all of the injuries, big and small, on Song Xiaoru’s body.

At that moment, Song Xiaoru also opened her eyes and saw Song Xiaodong. She hesitantly said, "Dongzi... I..."

Song Xiaodong waved his hand to dismiss the two nurses. He forced a smile and said softly, "Sister, you’re okay. With me here, no matter how severe your injuries are, I’ll make you as good as new."

"I’m not dead?" Song Xiaoru asked in a soft voice.

"Of course not. How could you bear to leave me alone and die?" Song Xiaodong gripped Song Xiaoru’s hand.

"Dongzi..." Tears streamed down Song Xiaoru’s face as she whispered, "I would rather die than let that bastard Sun Zi’ang touch me. He didn’t get his way."

Song Xiaodong had suspected it was Sun Zi’ang behind this. So he was not surprised now, and he said softly, "You’re so foolish. Nothing is more important than life."

"No! I can’t tolerate any other man touching me, except you." This was a huge shock to Song Xiaoru, and she blurted the words out without even thinking.

Song Xiaodong was taken aback for a moment, and then tears began to flow. Choking up, he said, "Sister, it’s my fault for not taking good care of you."

Song Xiaoru wanted to lift her hand to wipe Song Xiaodong’s eyes, but her arm was wrapped in thick bandages and couldn’t be lifted at all. She said, "Don’t cry, I’m still alive, aren’t I? A big man like you, how can you cry?"

"Yes! I won’t cry." Song Xiaodong wiped his eyes and said, "Sis, why don’t you sleep for a while? That way, you’ll recover better."

"Mm!" Song Xiaoru had lost too much blood and had already received a lot of transfusions. She was really weak now and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Song Xiaodong, supporting his tired body, stood up and called two nurses over to take Song Xiaoru to her ward.

As they pushed the hospital bed out, many people were already standing at the door. Miao Qingqing, Miao Xuanxuan, and Xiao Yingying immediately stepped forward, but nobody dared to speak. Instead, they all looked at Song Xiaoru on the bed.

"Don’t worry, my sister will be fine," Song Xiaodong reassured them.

All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Xiaodong then glanced at the others standing at the door. Lin Su’er and He Wenbai were present, along with Qiao Yutong and another police officer.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Let’s get my sister to the ward first. We can talk about anything else later."

After settling Song Xiaoru, Miao Qingqing and the others stayed with her in the room, while Song Xiaodong stepped out to the hallway with Qiao Yutong.

He was extremely fatigued. He had been running on sheer willpower, but now that Song Xiaoru was taken care of, his spirits faltered, and he could barely stand. He quickly sat down.

Qiao Yutong sat beside him and said, "We’ve already investigated. The man who booked the room is named Cao Feng, but there were three men who entered with your sister."

"Cao Feng?" Song Xiaodong let out a cold laugh and said nothing. It was clear that the Sun family had already found a scapegoat.

Qiao Yutong continued, "We are currently working hard to capture the three men connected to this case. I believe we will surely catch them and give your sister justice."

Song Xiaodong replied indifferently, "No need, I’ll handle this matter myself."

Although Song Xiaodong’s tone was calm, Qiao Yutong felt an intense murderous intent. "Song Xiaodong, I know you are capable and have complex social connections, but I want to remind you, this is a society governed by law. Everything will be decided by the legal system. You cannot take the law into your own hands; that would be illegal."

"Illegal!" Song Xiaodong smiled faintly again and then his gaze turned ice-cold as he said slowly, "No matter who it is, whoever dares to touch my sister... I will only make them die!"

"You... you mustn’t be rash. If you really kill someone, even if there are reasons, that would still be retaliatory murder, completely different from self-defense. That’s absolutely unacceptable."

Song Xiaodong looked at Qiao Yutong, his lips curling slightly, and said, "It’s fine, you go catch your suspects. I won’t interfere."

"Really?" Qiao Yutong looked at Song Xiaodong with some disbelief.

"Of course, it’s true." Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and then turned to enter the hospital room. Qiao Yutong could go after the scapegoats, but he was searching for Sun Zi’ang of the Sun family.

Sun Zi’ang! Even if you have your family’s protection, this time I will make sure you die!
