Chapter 803: Chapter 779:

Then, Zhang Yantong sprinted quickly towards the crime scene. Wu He picked up a gun that a Mad Dragon Gang little brother had dropped on the ground, loaded it, and aimed at Liu Momo, saying, "What a beautiful woman, why didn’t I meet you earlier? If I had, I’d make you feel ecstatic."

"Stop!" Just as Wu He was about to pull the trigger, Zhang Yantong’s voice came through.

Wu He was taken aback, hastily threw the gun on the ground, and shouted, "Captain Zhang, come quickly, Ye Chen is suspected of murder and is trying to escape, so I killed him!"

"What?!" Zhang Yantong was suddenly shocked. Ye Chen was killed by Wu He?! Zhang Yantong’s mind went blank. She frantically ran towards Ye Chen; it seemed the entire world had gone silent—she could only hear her own breathing, and her vision seemed to go blank.

"Ye Chen, Ye Chen!" Zhang Yantong rushed over and took Ye Chen from Liu Momo’s arms. Blood continuously flowed from Ye Chen’s mouth, staining a large area of his white shirt, and a large pool of blood had already spread over the cement ground. Zhang Yantong screamed hysterically at Wu He, "Wu He, you bastard, why did you kill Ye Chen? Tell me, are you not repaying kindness with betrayal!"

"I, I didn’t!" Wu He was panicked; he had killed Ye Chen in the heat of the moment, unable to control it. If he had known Ye Chen’s identity, he wouldn’t have dared to make a move even if he had ten times the courage.

"Quick, urgently call for an ambulance!" Zhang Yantong shouted frantically. The SWAT officers quickly called for an ambulance. Nearby, Little Huzi had a faint smile, although he and two little brothers were tied up together, he clearly saw every move Wu He made just now—what a hypocritical, despicable, and vile man...

Little Huzi laughed, so relaxed, so naturally, as if everything was meant to happen this way.

Quickly, an ambulance arrived on the scene, and two nurses jumped out of the car, with a doctor carrying an emergency kit following. The nurses worked to stop Ye Chen’s bleeding. The doctor checked Ye Chen’s heartbeat and pulse. After some emergency treatment, the doctor hurriedly said, "This is serious, the patient’s heart rate is under ten per minute, this pulse is undetectable, quickly send him to the hospital for resuscitation!"

"Yes!" The nurse, sweating profusely, lifted Ye Chen onto the stretcher after stopping the bleeding, then carried the stretcher onto the ambulance. Zhang Yantong gave Wu He a fierce glare and said, "Wu He, go back to the police station now, I’ll settle accounts with you later!"

Having said that, Zhang Yantong also jumped into the ambulance. Soon after, the ambulance drove off with sirens blaring. The Eleventh-Fifteen case hadn’t been solved, but an important clue was found—the mastermind behind all of this was the Mad Dragon Gang. News of Ye Chen being shot, especially by the police, spread quickly, prompting a frenzy of reporters to head to the police station for interviews. Ye Chen’s identity was quite significant, attracting plenty of media attention as if a piece of rotting meat was attracting a swarm of flies.

In the hospital, the doctors paced anxiously; Ye Chen’s situation was extraordinary. A multitude of reporters and media were waiting at the entrance, and Ye Chen’s condition sparked worry among major leaders in Tongzhou City. At the hospital entrance, swarms of reporters gathered there, and the police had released a statement that Ye Chen was the one who cracked the Eleventh-Fifteen case, attributing all the credit to him. This is why the media were so focused on Ye Chen.

Meanwhile, in the dean’s office, Zhang Kaiguo, accompanied by a group from the Provincial Committee, was discussing Ye Chen’s condition with the dean. The dean had asked the topmost expert doctors in the provincial city with the finest skills to take action. A special medical team was formed, composed of several experts from the provincial city and surgeons, to enter the emergency treatment room and treat Ye Chen.

The hospital seemed to instantly become Ye Chen’s personal hospital, surrounded by a crowd of media reporters at the entrance, while the dean’s office was also packed with a large number of government personnel. Zhang Kaiguo personally issued a statement, saying that Ye Chen must be saved at all costs. Although he reluctantly acknowledged it was partly because Ye Chen is his son-in-law, he had to admit that it was a significant reason.

Additionally, Ye Chen was steering his political career, likely allowing him to join the Central Committee in next year’s conference. Ye Chen was the most crucial bargaining chip. If Ye Chen died, not only would a transfer into the Central Committee be off the table, but he might also lose his position as Provincial Party Secretary.

"Sigh, Old Yang, I entrust this matter to you. You know how important this child is to me, not just because he’s my son-in-law!" Zhang Kaiguo sighed.

"Old Zhang, don’t worry, I will do my best!" The dean patted Zhang Kaiguo’s shoulder and said, "We’ve been classmates, I surely won’t let this child leave my sight, especially since he is also considered a hero in the hearts of Tongzhou City people."

"Thank you!" Zhang Kaiguo smoked a cigarette, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke.

Outside the emergency room, Zhang Yantong and several others, including Fang Qin, waited anxiously in the corridor. At the end of the corridor, several police officers blocked the entrance, preventing anyone from entering. Even the media reporters were stopped outside.

Zhang Yantong had been pacing back and forth in the corridor for over an hour, but the indicator light on the operating room remained unchanged. Fang Qin, unable to stand it anymore, got up and said, "Captain Zhang, stop pacing, if you keep going, my eyes will blur!"

"Okay!" Zhang Yantong smiled awkwardly and then sat down on a chair. Her face had been pale all along. However, no sooner had Zhang Yantong sat down for three minutes than she was back on her feet, stepping to the operating room door, hoping it would open to let her see how her loved one was doing.

Ye Chen is injured, and she doesn’t dare to inform anyone. She’s afraid of being blamed by others, fearing that Dian Ling, with her temperament, would point at her nose and say: "Zhang Yantong, you’re simply a woman incapable of love, you can’t even protect your own man, what right do you have to love?"

While Zhang Yantong was lost in these thoughts, the doors of the operating room, closed for over two hours, finally moved slightly. The red light turned off, and the green light came on as the surgical experts from the provincial city walked out, seeming to discuss something.

"Doctor, how is the patient?" Zhang Yantong hurriedly rushed forward.

"Oh, the patient’s condition is quite problematic!" The doctor frowned and then said, "The bullet passed between two ribs, its momentum reduced by the ribs, and then lodged in the pulmonary lobe. Right now, the bullet is stuck in the lung lobe. Through MRI, we found a lot of blood has accumulated in the patient’s lung lobe. Although we’ve cleared some, the lung lobe’s infection might become a very serious issue!"

"Ah?!" Zhang Yantong was stunned, staring at the doctor in astonishment before saying, "Isn’t that very serious then?"

"This... it really depends on the patient’s own constitution!" The doctor glanced at Zhang Yantong.

"Is there really no other way?" Zhang Yantong asked with tears in her eyes. What would she do if something happened to Ye Chen? She didn’t dare let her mind go there, and she pleaded with the doctor, "Doctor, please, save him!"

"Captain Zhang, we’ve done our best; we’ve fulfilled our duties as doctors." The doctor patted Zhang Yantong on the shoulder and said, "The rest depends on the patient himself. If he can get through the critical period and let the lung lobe heal slowly, that would be best. If it gets infected, not even the Daluo Golden Immortal would be able to save him!"

"Oh my God!" Zhang Yantong felt an overwhelming sense of gloom.

When she came to her senses, the doctor had already walked away, and the specialists entered the dean’s office to report the patient’s condition. After hearing this, Zhang Kaiguo sat in a chair smoking gloomily. The doctor glanced at the dean, who nodded, indicating that he could continue speaking. Only then did the doctor say, "So, we must wait forty-eight hours before deciding anything. If the patient’s lung lobe gets infected, I’m afraid it would be..."

"Alright, you can leave now!" The dean waved his hand.

"Okay!" The doctor nodded.

Zhang Kaiguo kept smoking quietly by himself since learning about Ye Chen’s condition, feeling a bit troubled. Ye Chen was his son-in-law and also a political asset for his career. Without Ye Chen, he might have stopped at the position of the Provincial Party Secretary, but his life had changed, and he was not willing to stop moving forward; Ye Chen was his ticket for advancement.

"Kaiguo, don’t be too upset, everything will turn out okay!" Dean Yang comforted him.

"Let’s hope so!" Zhang Kaiguo sighed deeply.

The two continued chatting for a bit, and Zhang Kaiguo got up and went to the sterile ward. Ye Chen lay quietly inside, the gauze on his chest faintly visible with blood. Zhang Yantong was leaning against the glass, desperately wishing she could go in and see Ye Chen, but unfortunately, she was stopped by a nurse. The patient was in a sterile ward, and no one was allowed to enter, especially in the first twenty-four hours, not even wearing isolation suits.

"Tongtong, go home and rest!" Zhang Kaiguo held his daughter’s shoulder back.

"Dad..." Zhang Yantong threw herself into Zhang Kaiguo’s arms and began to sob uncontrollably, her cries chilling to the core. Since Zhang Yantong was his daughter, Zhang Kaiguo could feel her inner pain, and he softly said, "The doctor said Ye Chen will wake up in forty-eight hours!"

"Liar, liar, Dad is a liar!" Zhang Yantong cried out, "If Ye Chen’s lung lobe is infected, there’s no saving him!"

"It’ll be fine, it’ll be fine, that silly boy Ye Chen has gone through so many hardships, even King Yan couldn’t take him away. I believe this time will be no different!" Zhang Kaiguo comforted her gently, but Zhang Yantong didn’t stop crying; instead, she cried even louder.
