Chapter 293: Coma

Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Coma

When Ling Feng sensed the hint of relief and ease in the middle-aged man’s eyes, he felt something was off. If it were really an accident, the middle-aged man wouldn’t have that kind of emotion!

So, after leaving, Ling Feng had Wei Meizi investigate the driver who caused the accident.

And after seeing the results of the investigation, Ling Feng’s heart finally had some clarity!

"Chen Hai, male, 47 years old, laid-off worker from Yanjing Boiler Plant, diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, has been a transporter ever since, rather timid, known as Big Clumsy Chen. This afternoon, he returned home with a black travel bag which, upon inspection, was found to contain three hundred thousand yuan!"

The subsequent images were from Flame Hall’s investigation, including photos of the travel bag in Chen Hai’s home, the medical examination certificates hidden in the wardrobe, and street surveillance footage. Even the photos of his encounters with some suspicious individuals were among them.

Although the evidence wasn’t clear enough, Ling Feng had understood that Chen Hai must have been entrusted by someone to crash into Sun Xiaofei for the three hundred thousand yuan!

This could also explain why there was a hint of relief and ease in Chen Hai’s eyes.

Because he knew he didn’t have much longer to live, so he must have taken the risk! But no matter the reason, Ling Feng had no intention of letting him off!

"Not bad! You guys are quick!" Ling Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.

Zhou Kai’s face showed a smile, "Lady received Mr. Ling’s call, and we Fierce Flame... all of our manpower went all out, which is why we found these!"

Ling Feng nodded. If the whole of Flame Hall were mobilized, the investigation would definitely be much more thorough than the police’s, and as part of the Underworld, Flame Hall had a lot of shady investigative methods at their disposal, which was something the police lacked!

This was also the reason why those above hoped for the Underworld of Yanjing to unify, because once the Underworld’s forces were mobilized, they were even more pervasive than the police!

"Lady said that time was pressing, so the investigation materials are not very comprehensive!" Zhou Kai said with a hint of apology, "But rest assured, Mr. Ling, by tomorrow, we will have even more detailed information!"

Ling Feng put away the files and nodded, "Good, you’ve worked hard."

Zhou Kai bowed and then turned and left.

"Ling Feng, who is this..." Liu Tingyu felt Zhou Kai’s chilling aura and couldn’t help asking.

"He’s a friend of mine, I had him investigate some things," Ling Feng put away the files, not telling Liu Tingyu the truth.

Liu Tingyu was smart. She understood there were some things Ling Feng did not wish to tell her, so she didn’t ask any further.

The emergency room light was still on, and outside, Lin Zhijie was also very anxious.

Although he had secretly planned for Sun Xiaofei to have an "accident", he did not expect that a fire engine would pass by, extinguish the fire, and even take Sun Xiaofei to the hospital.

"This is truly a disaster that lingers for a thousand years!" Lin Zhijie lay in his own home, his complexion shifting unpredictably.

If Sun Xiaofei were to die from her injuries in the hospital, that would be the best outcome! But what if she didn’t die?

At that thought, Lin Zhijie’s heart was filled with irritation.

If Sun Xiaofei told Yun Hanrui about the incident, then all his efforts for the past five years would be in vain! What’s worse, once he failed, what awaited him would be torture akin to Hell!

"No, no matter what, Sun Xiaofei must die tonight!" Lin Zhijie took a deep breath, then put on his clothes and rushed to the hospital.

Gradually, Yun Hanrui opened her eyes, and after waking up, she found herself leaning against Ling Feng’s arms, having fallen asleep!

The warmth of Ling Feng’s embrace calmed her restless heart considerably. She didn’t feel like getting up because she found his arms too comfortable, too safe.

"You’re awake?" Yun Hanrui’s slightest movement was instantly noticed by Ling Feng.

"Yeah!" Since she had been caught, Yun Hanrui felt embarrassed to lean on Ling Feng any longer, so she sat up straight: "How long have I slept? What’s the situation now? How is Xiaofei..."

Ling Feng pointed to the emergency room’s door and said, "You’ve been asleep for about an hour, and Sun Xiaofei is still being resuscitated."

At that moment, Liu Tingyu returned, carrying three cups of hot drinks: "Sister Yun, have something to drink. Sister Sun, with her good fortune, won’t have any trouble!"

Yun Hanrui took the hot drink: "Thanks, Ting Yu!"

Just then, a person rushed in from outside the hospital, wiping the sweat off his brow: "Xiao Rui, how’s everything going now?"

The newcomer was Lin Zhijie.

Yun Hanrui looked at Lin Zhijie in surprise: "Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Lin Zhijie said, "I just tried calling you, but you didn’t answer, so I called your uncle, and that’s how I found out you were at the hospital!"

Yun Hanrui glanced at her phone and sure enough, there was a missed call from over half an hour ago. She didn’t have the heart to ask Lin Zhijie why he was looking for her and said faintly, "Xiaofei’s condition is very critical; she’s been in the operating room for several hours now!"

Lin Zhijie let out a soft sigh of relief. It seemed Sun Xiaofei’s condition was very serious. This was good.

Suddenly, the light above the emergency room went off, and the attending physician came out, looking exhausted.

"Doctor, how’s my friend now?" Yun Hanrui approached immediately.

The doctor said, "The surgery was a success, so please don’t worry! However, the patient’s brain has sustained severe trauma, and it depends on the patient’s will when she will wake up."

Yun Hanrui’s body faltered: "Doctor, what do you mean..."

"The external injuries should recover quickly after the surgery, but her brain has suffered consecutive impacts, so... if she can wake up within five days, everything will be fine, but if she doesn’t wake up after five days..."

"Doctor, are you saying that if she doesn’t wake up after five days, Sun Xiaofei is likely to become comatose?" Ling Feng asked tentatively.

The doctor offered a wry smile: "If she doesn’t wake up after five days, the chances of awakening later are indeed slim, but life is full of miracles, so there is still hope!"

Hearing the doctor’s words, Yun Hanrui’s heart rose to her throat: "Can I see her?"

"The patient needs to rest!" the doctor said. "It’s best not to disturb her."

In the end, everyone could only watch Sun Xiaofei, her body hooked up to countless machines, through the glass.

"Xiaofei, you mustn’t have anything wrong!" Yun Hanrui murmured to herself: "You have to wake up, aren’t you still supposed to say something to me? If you continue to be unconscious, you will have broken your promise to me!"

As he listened to Yun Hanrui, a fierce expression flashed across Lin Zhijie’s face; he was lucky to have acted swiftly, otherwise, this wretched woman would have exposed him!

And that fleeting ferocity was felt very clearly by Ling Feng!
