Super Rich: Starting the game by going back ten years to buy Bitcoin

"Brother Li..." Liu Bing's voice cracked, her fingers gripping the edge of her phone case tightly, white blood seeping from under her nails. "My sister's in trouble!"

Li Yichen kicked away the wooden foot bath basin in front of him, splashing water onto the wooden floor. He grabbed the car keys from the coffee table, picked up his coat, and threw it into Liu Bing's arms.

"Put them on and let's go."

Han Fei didn't even bother to put on his shoes properly, shuffling along in his leather shoes as he rushed out behind the two.

The underground parking garage. The Tank 700's V8 engine roared, its tires screeching against the epoxy flooring. Li Yichen slammed the steering wheel shut with one hand, sending the car swerving in a clean arc, crashing through the toll gate and hurtling up the ramp.

"What's going on? Explain in more detail." Li Yichen stared at the traffic ahead, pressing the accelerator to the floor with his right foot.

Liu Bing sat in the passenger seat, her hands gripping the seatbelt tightly, her teeth chattering: "My sister... she was inspecting a new special drug in the company lab when a high-concentration acid reagent caused a runaway reaction, and the entire control panel exploded. She's in the city hospital's ICU now, and they say she's not going to make it..."

Li Yichen swerved the steering wheel sharply to the left, forcing the two-ton SUV to squeeze into the gap between the two lanes, causing a sports car next to it to honk its horn frantically.

"Ling'er." Li Yichen didn't even turn his head, directly activating the artificial intelligence.

"Here!" The holographic projection popped up in the lower right corner of the windshield.

"Take over the traffic management system in downtown Shanghai. Develop the shortest route from here to the city hospital, and lock all traffic lights to green." Li Yichen issued the order. "Send a notification to the traffic police brigade that Li Yichen's car from Future Technology needs to use the road. I'll personally handle the ticket and violation later."

"Route generated, traffic lights along the route taken over." The blue data stream swept across Ling'er's eyes.

Twenty minutes. The normally congested overpasses and main roads were completely cleared by Li Yichen. Traffic police along the route, seeing the speeding SUV, saluted and let it pass after receiving orders from their superiors.

In front of the emergency room building, white smoke billowed from the tires as they screeched against the ground. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Liu Bing pushed open the door, tumbled out, and scrambled into the lobby.

Outside the ICU on the third floor.

The corridor was filled with suppressed sobs. Liu Bing's parents leaned against a bench; Liu's father's hair had turned mostly white, and his once straight back was now hunched over. Liu's mother covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face, her shoulders heaving violently.

Liu Bing rushed over, her knees buckling as she knelt before her parents: "Dad! Mom! Where's my sister?!"

Mr. Liu looked up, his bloodshot eyes seeing Li Yichen following behind him. He stood up, forcing a smile that was extremely unsightly.

"Mr. Li, what brings you here too..." Mr. Liu's voice was so rough it hurt your ears.

Li Yichen stepped forward, reached out and supported Liu's father's arm, pressing him back into the chair.

"Uncle Liu, Liu Xue is my friend. Since something happened to her, of course I had to come and see her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy, airtight doors of the ICU slid open to both sides.

A doctor wearing a green sterile gown and a mask strode out, holding a stack of forms in his hand, his white coat still stained with glaring bloodstains.

"Liu Xue's family members! Who are her immediate family members?"

Liu's father and Liu Bing rushed over at the same time.

The doctor handed over the report, speaking rapidly with an undeniable professional assessment: "The situation is extremely serious. Eighty percent of the body is severely burned, and high-concentration acid has corroded the epidermis and dermis. Inhalation burns have caused edema, chemical toxins have entered the bloodstream, and the kidneys and liver are beginning to fail."

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother rolled her eyes upwards and fell straight backwards. Han Fei reacted quickly, catching her from behind and pinching her philtrum.

"Doctor! Please save my sister! We have all the money you need! We'll sell everything we own at Liu's Pharmaceuticals!" Liu Bing gripped the doctor's sleeve tightly, her knuckles turning white.

The doctor shook his head and shoved a pen into Liu's father's hand: "This isn't about money. We must perform a tracheotomy and debridement immediately to remove the necrotic tissue. But the patient's vital signs are too weak right now; there's a 90% chance he won't make it off the operating table. Please sign the critical condition notice and surgical consent form, and we'll do everything we can."

Liu Bing slumped onto the terrazzo floor, his eyes glazed over, muttering "Impossible" repeatedly. His father, holding the pen, trembled so badly he couldn't even remove the cap.

Li Yichen pushed through the crowd and walked to the airtight door. Through the glass, he looked into the emergency room.

Liu Xue lay on the sterile bed, her entire body wrapped in blood-soaked gauze, her exposed skin a horrific sight of charred black and purplish-red discoloration. Her once decisive, beautiful, and refined face was now so swollen that its original contours were completely unrecognizable.

Her body was convulsing unconsciously from the excruciating pain. On the monitor next to her, the lines for heart rate and blood pressure were a jumbled mess, and the piercing red alarm could be heard even through the glass.

Conventional medical methods couldn't save him. Li Yichen made that judgment in his mind.

With chemical burns of this severity combined with organ failure, even if the hospital manages to save her life, she will be left with a disfigured body, completely incapable of taking care of herself. This is more cruel than killing this proud woman.

A nurse hurriedly pushed a resuscitation cart out of the building, preparing to go to the blood bank to get plasma.

Li Yichen raised his hand and pressed down on the handle of the rescue vehicle, the stainless steel frame making a muffled thud.

"Stop." He turned around, his gaze sweeping over Liu's father and Liu Bing. "Uncle Liu, Liu Bing. If you trust me, hand Liu Xue over to me. I can save her."

Even the crying in the corridor stopped.

All eyes were on Li Yichen.

The attending physician was the first to react. He rushed to Li Yichen and started cursing at him.

"Nonsense! This is the intensive care unit! Who do you think you are? A celestial being?!" The doctor was furious, his face red and his neck bulging. "The patient is losing his life every second. You're obstructing resuscitation efforts; this is attempted murder!"

Li Yichen raised his hand and brushed away the doctor's finger pointing at him. He didn't use much force, but the doctor took two steps back and bumped his back against the wall.

"Shut up." Li Yichen didn't even look at him. "I'm talking to family members. It's none of your business to interrupt."

The doctor was furious and turned to the head nurse, yelling, "Call security! Throw this lunatic out!"

He turned and glared at Li Yichen: "So what if you have money! Medicine isn't something you capitalists can joke about! In her current condition, she'll die within half an hour of leaving this floor!"

"If you leave her here, can you guarantee she'll live?" Li Yichen retorted, each word hitting the nail on the head. "You don't even have a 10% chance of success, yet you want to cut her up, sew her up, and send her to the morgue. I can make sure she walks out unharmed."

In the emergency room.

The large doses of painkillers and adrenaline kept Liu Xue barely conscious.

She heard the arguing outside.

The glass door wasn't closed properly, and Li Yichen's words, "I can save her," clearly reached her ears.

She struggled to lift her heavy eyelids, the skin at the edges of which was stuck together due to burns, tearing at her nerves with every movement.

As a strong-willed female CEO who built Liu's Pharmaceuticals into an industry leader since childhood, she couldn't accept becoming a monster. She had witnessed the horrific state of burn patients, and she would rather die than live on in that body.

She opened her mouth, and blood seeped from her dry, cracked, and blackened lips.

"dad……"

An extremely hoarse, drafty sound came from the ward. The sound was very faint, but it was unusually clear in the deathly silent corridor.

Mr. Liu threw down his pen and rushed to the glass door, crying, "Xue'er! Dad's here! Dad's here!"

Liu Xue's eyes darted around, her gaze passing over her father and landing on Li Yichen.

"Let him...take me away..." With each word she uttered, her heart rate on the monitor dropped. "I trust him...otherwise...I'd rather die..."

Liu's father pressed his face against the glass, tears streaming down his face. He turned to look at Li Yichen, caught in a deep internal struggle.

On one side are science and hospitals, and on the other is this young man who has created countless miracles.

Li Yichen walked up to Liu's father and looked him in the eye.

"Uncle Liu, my word is my bond." His voice wasn't loud, but it drowned out all the surrounding noise. "I'm worth trillions, and the Future Technology brand hangs on my shoulders. I would never risk my reputation, much less Liu Xue's life."

This sentence became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Mr. Liu bit his lip until it bled, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth. He snatched the critical condition notice from the doctor's hand and turned to the last page.

"I will not sign the surgery consent form." Mr. Liu picked up a pen and signed his name on the refusal-of-treatment waiver, his force so strong it tore the paper. "Anything that happens, the Liu family will bear the responsibility! It has nothing to do with the hospital!"

The doctor's eyes widened as he pointed at Liu's father: "Are you insane! You're treating human life like dirt! She absolutely won't survive if she leaves this room!"

Ignoring the doctor's roar, Li Yichen pushed open the airtight door and entered the emergency room.

He took off his black haute couture coat.

Liu Xue lay on the sterile bed, her body covered in tubes. Li Yichen reached out and deftly removed the IV line, catheter, and oxygen mask.

The monitor immediately emitted a piercing long beep, and the red light flashed wildly.

"What are you doing! Stop!" Several nurses rushed forward to stop them.

Li Yichen swayed his shoulder, shoving the nurse aside. He unfolded his coat and gently wrapped it around Liu Xue's battered body, avoiding her extensive burns. He then scooped her up in his arms.

"Get out of the way."

Li Yichen carried Liu Xue and strode out of the emergency room.

The doctor was jumping up and down and yelling in anger, while four or five security guards rushed over from the elevator entrance with riot forks.

Li Yichen didn't even glance at the security guards; his leather shoes slammed against the terrazzo floor. Holding the barely breathing woman in his arms, he walked straight towards the private elevator at the end of the corridor, bypassing the security guards' line.
