Chapter 31: A Patient on the Road
Chen Tianlong spoke unhurriedly, his words devoid of emotion. It wasn’t that he was cold-blooded, but that one should maintain a calm mind in such moments.
Hearing this, Xu Yunfei’s face turned pale, and his whole body started to sway. He never imagined things would turn out this way. If Shuya hadn’t wanted to see her grandfather one last time, things wouldn’t have come to this.
Back then, he was against Shuya having this child, but she insisted on leaving a bloodline for the Xu Family. Xu Yunfei could only carefully protect her, yet an accident still happened.
"Save the mother!"
"Save the child!"
Two voices simultaneously reached Chen Tianlong’s ears, the voice asking to save the child was from the woman in the car.
Hearing this, Xu Yunfei’s expression became agitated.
"Yar, please listen to me just this once, okay? We can have more children, but I absolutely can’t lose you!" Xu Yunfei stepped forward, tightly holding Shuya’s hand, his eyes starting to redden.
Around them, quite a few middle-aged women, and even some young women, couldn’t help but shed tears secretly.
"It’s just too cruel. How can people so in love face such an unfortunate event?"
"Exactly!" The people around them showed sympathetic looks.
On one side, Chen Tianlong watched coldly, not expressing any opinion.
"Chen Tianlong, do you have a solution?" Lin Wushuang, who had remained calm throughout, finally spoke.
"It’s hard to say, they have to cooperate." Chen Tianlong didn’t dare to guarantee, considering the situation wasn’t just about premature birth, but the woman also had a heart condition. A slight mistake could result in tragedy for both.
Lying in the car seat, Shuya, with a pale face, said, "Baichuan! I know my situation. No matter what, ensure the child is born safely, or I will feel guilty for life."
Her agitated expression prompted Chen Tianlong to push Xu Yunfei aside.
"Alright, I’ll do my best and save both mother and child. You must not get agitated now. Relax and trust me, okay?" Chen Tianlong’s tone softened considerably. His words seemed to possess a magical power that gradually calmed Shuya.
Lin Wushuang was momentarily stunned by Chen Tianlong’s actions, truly not expecting him to utter such words that even her tense heart calmed down quite a bit.
But the people around them showed expressions of doubt.
An elderly lady even loudly exclaimed, "Hey, do you see how young people nowadays are so ignorant and arrogant? They think they’re some sort of Divine Doctor, promising to save both mother and child?"
"Precisely, so young and promising such things without fear of biting their own tongue," the people around her echoed the elderly lady’s words.
Xu Yunfei’s face also turned unsightly; he naturally knew Shuya’s condition well. In the hospital, the experts had said that only with a heart specialist and an obstetrician present, with first-class medical equipment, was there a fifty-percent chance of saving both mother and child.
He couldn’t help but doubt whether the person in front of him was just a fraud.
"I say, brother, if you let him deliver your baby, I’d say chances are high that neither mother nor child will survive," the previously vocal elderly lady now directly stood in front of Chen Tianlong and Xu Yunfei, speaking, with many people agreeing.
Xu Yunfei was truly in complete confusion, but did he have a better choice now?
Chen Tianlong didn’t say anything from the start but carefully observed the person lying in the car.
"Humph, ignoring the advice of elders brings immediate losses!" The elderly lady scolded, seeing Xu Yunfei pay no heed to her.
Chen Tianlong couldn’t be bothered with these people and silently pulled out a piece of grey cloth from his bosom, addressing Xu Yunfei standing there: "Take out the car mat from the back and lay her on the ground!"
Hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Xu Yunfei hurriedly complied.
While moving, he anxiously asked, "Young man, how confident are you?"
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong frowned in displeasure, lowering his eyes, his tone carrying a cold indifference: "Since you don’t trust me, then I’ll leave now."
Xu Yunfei hurriedly explained, "Young man, no, I didn’t mean it that way, I just—"
Chen Tianlong raised his hand to interrupt his following words.
"If you trust me, then stop wasting words!"
After speaking, Chen Tianlong carefully laid Shuya flat on the ground. Her painful cries emerged from her mouth, and Chen Tianlong could tell that the cervix wasn’t fully dilated yet.
Now he needed to stabilize her overly fast heart rate first.
Just as Chen Tianlong was about to unbutton Shuya’s shirt, Xu Yunfei angrily shouted from the side, "What are you doing?"
As he spoke, he threw a punch at Chen Tianlong, but Chen Tianlong caught the attack effortlessly.
"If you want your wife to live, stop messing around here." Chen Tianlong glared sharply at Xu Yunfei, releasing his hand.
"See, I said this young man doesn’t have the skills, and now he realizes he can’t save anyone, so he’s trying to take advantage of her, truly shameless!"
Seizing her moment to vent, the old lady viciously spoke again.
"Yeah, this young man is utterly shameless, trying to undress her even in her state!" Many people criticized him.
Yet, the men were quite admiring of the young man’s boldness.
"If you think so too and believe I have ulterior motives towards your wife, then wait for the ambulance!" With that, Chen Tianlong intended to turn and walk away.
At this moment, a middle-aged man in the crowd spoke thoughtfully, "If someone is having a heart attack, isn’t it necessary to unbutton their clothes to allow them to breathe on their own?"
The old lady’s face changed, clenching her teeth and saying, "Just a blind cat meeting a dead rat, what’s so special?"
Her words made many people puzzled; was there some past conflict between the old lady and the young man, targeting him like this?
Xu Yunfei, who was furious a moment ago, suddenly had a change of expression; in his anxiety earlier, he overlooked such an important issue. Hastily, he rushed forward to stop Chen Tianlong from leaving.
"Young man, I’m sorry, I got carried away just now. Please don’t mind; you must save her!" As the president of the Xu Group, when had he ever been so humble?
But for his wife’s sake, even if it meant kneeling to the young man before him, he would do it willingly.
Chen Tianlong coolly shrugged off his hand, mocking himself: "I’m too young, how could I possibly save your wife? You better find someone more capable!"
Was Chen Tianlong someone to be summoned and dismissed at will?
Xu Yunfei realized he had thoroughly angered the young man just now, but if he really let the young man leave, his wife’s hope for survival would vanish.
Suddenly, with a "thud" behind Chen Tianlong, Xu Yunfei knelt on the ground.
This surprised even Chen Tianlong, seeing how the man before him, clearly distinguished, could actually lay down his dignity in such a manner, truly surprising.
"Young man, I beg you, if you can save my wife, you’ll be a benefactor to the Xu Family, even if it means handing over this Xu Family to you!"
His words moved Chen Tianlong greatly; it seemed the bond between this couple was indeed profoundly deep.
Beside him, Lin Wushuang frowned. The Wang Family? Is it the Xu Family of the Xu Group?
