The entire hospital cheered in unison.
However, Lin Qingzhu frowned and said, "The bullet didn’t penetrate the skull; it only entered eight millimeters into it. Judging from the burn marks around the wound, the muzzle was very close to the wound, almost no distance. But the bullet only embedded eight millimeters, which makes me very puzzled!"
"Dr. Lin Qingzhu, you’ve worked hard. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!" Chu Qingxue was overjoyed and praised Lin Qingzhu lavishly. No one paid much attention to what Lin Qingzhu had said.
"Miss Chu, don’t worry, Ye Chenfeng is also my friend, isn’t he? But I can’t let him be reckless this time. He needs to fully recover before he can be discharged!" Lin Qingzhu said.
Then Lin Qingzhu pulled Chu Qingxue and Shen Yuqin to a corner. "Miss Chu, tell me exactly what happened. Although Ye Chenfeng is out of danger, it was really too close."
"Well..." Chu Qingxue hesitated for a moment but then told Lin Qingzhu the rough details.
Shen Yuqin stood there for a while and then left.
"I misunderstood Brother Ye. It turns out that no matter what choice he made, the final result would always be him falling. This was all calculated by him... It’s all my fault. I wronged Brother Ye. In the end, he was willing to die for me, but I..."
In the corridor, Shen Yuqin muttered to herself. In the end, she sat down weakly on the ground, sobbing quietly.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head vigorously and struggled to open his eyes, his body seemingly connected to many plastic tubes.
When he fully opened his eyes, Ye Chenfeng was shocked to find himself in a hospital room, but it was extremely luxurious, seemingly the legendary high-end VIP ward.
Rich people are really something; even staying in a hospital has to be in a presidential suite!
After pulling out all the tubes and needles from his body, Ye Chenfeng stood on the ground as if nothing had happened.
If the hospital staff saw this, they’d definitely be scared to death. He had clearly been shot in the head and almost died, but now he was full of energy.
Having narrowly escaped from the Grim Reaper again, Ye Chenfeng let out a long breath.
At the moment the bullet was fired, Ye Chenfeng used One Qi Moves Mountains and Rivers, altering the air pressure to forcefully reduce the bullet’s power. It embedded exactly eight millimeters into his temple, avoiding life-threatening damage but causing temporary unconsciousness and significant blood loss.
Ye Chenfeng exhaled lightly, a smile playing on his lips. "Now I understand a bit. Uncle Shen, you’ve hidden it well! But who was that person always lurking in the hall?"
Suddenly, there was a soft call from Shen Yuqin.
Shen Yuqin looked up and was stunned to see Ye Chenfeng.
No, something was wrong!
Shen Yuqin immediately realized something was wrong. Ye Chenfeng should be in the ward. How could he appear here?
"Ye... Brother Ye, is... is it really you? Am... am I dreaming?" Shen Yuqin asked, dumbfounded.
"Dream what? Let’s go!"
Ye Chenfeng pulled Shen Yuqin and quickly left the hospital.
"Brother Ye, how are you okay?"
Outside, Shen Yuqin was still in a daze, feeling as though she were dreaming.
"Some things can’t be explained for now. It’s good to be alive," Ye Chenfeng said with a smile.
"Right!" Shen Yuqin nodded.
Ye Chenfeng looked at her seriously. "Yuqin, do you blame me for my choice?"
Shen Yuqin shook her head vigorously. "No, what happened today reminded me of a story.
A young mother wanted to see if her son would share, so she gave him two apples. She waited for her son to give her one, but he took a bite out of both without even looking at her.
The mother was heartbroken and about to scold her son for being selfish when he said, in his childish voice: ’Mom, you eat this apple. I tasted it, and it’s not sour.’
Many times, we are upset because we don’t have the patience to wait for an answer."
Ye Chenfeng said nothing. He just ruffled Shen Yuqin’s hair a bit.
In the hospital, Lin Qingzhu, who was conversing with Chu Qingxue, received bad news: Ye Chenfeng was missing.
"How could Ye Chenfeng be missing?" Lin Qingzhu rushed to the ward in a panic. Chu Qingxue was about to follow but then received a text message.
Seeing the message, Chu Qingxue smiled faintly and left quietly.
"Brother Ye, are you really okay? Even if you don’t go to the hospital, you should rest at home first," Shen Yuqin said worriedly.
Ye Chenfeng looked nonchalant. "No rush. Let’s go to your house first. I can see Uncle Shen too."
Shen Yuqin felt like the clouds had parted and the sun was shining. She was overjoyed.
She didn’t notice the meaningful smile on Ye Chenfeng’s face; his intentions weren’t what they seemed.
When they arrived at the Shen Family home, only Shen Tianfang was there.
"Where are they?" Shen Yuqin asked curiously, noticing Wu Li and the others were not around.
"They had some matters to attend to back home and left temporarily," Shen Tianfang replied.
"Oh, I see. Dad, you and Brother Ye have a chat. I’ll cook tonight!"
Shen Yuqin changed into casual clothes and happily went to the kitchen.
"Uncle Shen, now it’s just the two of us..." Ye Chenfeng grinned meaningfully.
Shen Tianfang seemed to change, looking at Ye Chenfeng and asking, "Chenfeng, how is your injury?"
"Uncle Shen should have guessed I had a contingency plan. Now there’s no major issue," Ye Chenfeng replied.
"That’s right, Chenfeng, I am that person!" Shen Tianfang admitted outright.
Ye Chenfeng smiled. "Good thing you didn’t disappoint me, Uncle Shen!"
"How did you know it was me? And why delay, letting me know where things were hidden?" Shen Tianfang asked curiously.
"Actually, what made me suspicious, Uncle Shen, was your leg injury. It was unusual, indicating you weren’t an ordinary person, so I didn’t expose you," Ye Chenfeng explained.
Shen Tianfang was taken aback. "You suspected me all along."
"And today, when I talked with Jiang Qi, you listened in, didn’t you? I didn’t expose you either. Your ability to hide is impressive!" Ye Chenfeng chuckled.
"You still found out. I thought I had fooled you. Your identity makes me more and more curious, Chenfeng," Shen Tianfang said, his eyes bright.
"When I went to rescue someone today, I had a question. Why did Jiang Qi capture Yuqin? Only at the Times Building did I realize Yuqin was actually the main target. Then I thought of you."
