Wen Lan didn't even glance at it, directly moving the piece of fatty beef to the side of the bowl, and continued discussing with Su Hao how long to cook the pig brain for the best taste.

Chen Chi's expression turned even uglier.

During the meeting, Wen Lan mentioned her work arrangements: "Next week I will be reporting to Jinling University to start my job as a dance teacher. I will only have a few classes a week, and the rest of the time will be my own. I am very happy just thinking about it."

Chen Chi immediately seized the opportunity and said solicitously, "Lanlan, if you want to make classes a little easier, I can put in a good word with your principal..."

"No need," Wen Lan refused decisively.

"I enjoy teaching and don't need any special treatment."

Chen Chi was rebuffed and awkwardly shut his mouth.

As dinner drew to a close, most of the dishes on the table had been eaten.

Wen Lan was sipping her plum juice, savoring the delicious hot pot meal she had just had, when Chen Chi's phone suddenly rang urgently.

He glanced at the screen and answered the phone: "Dad? What's up?"

A frantic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Chi! Where are you? Something's happened to your sister!"

Chen Chi's expression changed instantly: "What happened to Shu Ting?"

"She stayed up all night studying and then did strenuous exercise this morning, resulting in a sudden acute myocardial infarction! She's in the emergency room at the city's central hospital right now! You need to come quickly!"

Chen Chi jumped to his feet, nearly tipping his chair over: "I'm coming right away!"

He hung up the phone, his face pale, his voice trembling: "Lanlan, my sister is in trouble, she had an acute myocardial infarction and is being treated at the hospital. I have to go there right away..."

"Is it that serious?"

Wen Lan stood up, her expression serious: "We'll go with you!"

"good!"

After settling the bill, the group immediately got up and drove to Jinling Central Hospital at top speed.

On the way to the hospital, the atmosphere inside the car was extremely oppressive.

Chen Chi sat in the passenger seat, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared ahead, muttering to himself, "It's all my fault...it's all my fault...I warned her not to stay up late studying, but she wouldn't listen...She's always been stubborn, she won't listen to anything I say..."

Wen Lan sat in the back row, her brows furrowed, her face full of worry.

Although she and Chen Shuting weren't exactly close friends, she always had a very good impression of that girl.

Chen Shuting is a rare sensible person in the Chen family. She has a gentle and insightful personality and never bullies others by taking advantage of the Chen family's power.

She had previously advised Chen Chi not to pursue her relentlessly, which led to an argument between them.

"That girl Shu Ting is very kind-hearted," Wen Lan said softly, as if talking to herself.

"I hope she's alright..."

Li Qiuchan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Hao in the driver's seat.

She had witnessed Su Hao's medical skills firsthand. When her grandfather was critically ill, all the famous doctors in the city were helpless, but he pulled him back from the brink of death with just a few needles.

If Chen Shuting still has a glimmer of hope, then the person most likely to create a miracle is him.

Su Hao drove quietly, not participating in the conversation.

He listened silently, piecing together information from the snippets of conversation, and secretly assessing the severity of the acute myocardial infarction.

In cases of acute myocardial infarction, the golden rescue time is usually only a few hours.

If the optimal time is missed, and large-scale myocardial necrosis occurs, even if Hua Tuo were alive today, it would be difficult to turn the tide.

However, for him, as long as the person is still alive, there is still a chance.

The car sped along and finally arrived at Jinling Central Hospital fifteen minutes later.

The emergency building was brightly lit, with ambulance sirens blaring from time to time, and medical staff hurrying about.

The group quickly crossed the lobby and headed straight for the floor where the emergency room was located.

As soon as I reached the end of the corridor, I heard a suppressed sob.

The emergency room was already packed with people.

Chen's matriarch, Wang Rui, was slumped on a bench in the corridor, crying so hard that her whole body was weak and she seemed to have all her strength drained away. She was only able to stay upright because her nanny was supporting her.

Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her voice was so hoarse that she could barely speak.

Chen Changfeng, the head of the Chen family, stood in front of the emergency room with his back straight, but his clenched fists and slightly trembling shoulders betrayed his inner torment.

He suppressed his grief and maintained the dignity of a head of the household, but his red-rimmed eyes said it all.

Dean Jiang Sanjie stood guard at the door of the emergency room. Upon seeing Chen Changfeng, the head of the Chen family, arrive, he quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, we have urgently contacted Feng Yizhen, the number one doctor in Jinling, and he is on his way. Currently, Director Shan is doing his best to save your daughter, but the situation... is not optimistic."

The words "not very optimistic" struck Chen Changfeng like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

At that moment, the door to the emergency room was pushed open.

Shan Weiyi came out, his surgical gown stained with blood, his face filled with exhaustion and helplessness.

"Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen...we've done everything we can. Miss Chen has suffered extensive myocardial necrosis, and all emergency measures have been exhausted...she currently only has weak spontaneous breathing and could stop at any moment. Please...go in and see her one last time."

These words struck Wang Rui like a bolt from the blue.

Her legs went weak, and she collapsed straight down.

Wen Lan and Li Qiuchan quickly supported her from both sides, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"My daughter!" Wang Rui cried out in heart-wrenching sobs, almost fainting.

Chen Chi instantly lost control.

He lunged forward, grabbed Shan Weiyi by the collar of his white coat, and roared with bloodshot eyes, "What did you say?! Say it again?! How could my sister die?! You bunch of quacks! You can't cure anything! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to shut your hospital down!"

"Chen Chi!" Chen Changfeng shouted sharply, grabbing his son's wrist and forcibly pulling him away from Shan Weiyi.

"This is a hospital, not a place for you to run wild!"

Chen Chi was pulled away by his father, and he deflated like a punctured balloon. He squatted on the ground, covered his head with his hands, and let out suppressed sobs.

Chen Changfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the tears in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go... let's go in and see Shu Ting."

With heavy hearts, everyone entered the emergency room.

Chen Shuting lay quietly on the hospital bed.

She's only twenty-two years old this year, a beautiful age.

At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his breathing was so weak that the rise and fall of his chest was barely visible.

The waveform on the electrocardiogram monitor flickered weakly, like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Wang Rui rushed to the bedside, tightly holding her daughter's cold hand, tears streaming down her face onto the pristine white sheets: "Tingting... open your eyes and look at Mommy... Mommy's here... don't leave Mommy..."

Chen Changfeng stood in front of the bed, his usually straight back now hunched over, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He reached out and gently stroked his daughter's hair, his eyes filled with age and sorrow.

Chen Chi squatted by the bed, burying his face in his arms, his shoulders shaking violently.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Li Qiuchan watched this scene of human tragedy and felt a pang of sorrow welling up in her heart.

She quietly tugged at Su Hao's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Su Hao... is there any hope?"

Su Hao's gaze fell on Chen Shuting's face, carefully observing her complexion, lip color, and breathing rate, and then looked at the faint data on the electrocardiogram monitor.

After a moment, he nodded slightly: "It can be saved."

These two simple words, however, were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a huge commotion.

Chen Chi was the first to react.

He abruptly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Su Hao, his voice filled with anger and sarcasm: "You think you can save her? You're just a driver, what do you know about a heart attack? You can't even read an electrocardiogram, can you? This isn't the place for your nonsense!"

The head of the cardiology department, Shan Weiyi, also frowned, his tone carrying the arrogance characteristic of a professional: "Sir, I understand your feelings, but large-area necrosis from acute myocardial infarction is a severe condition that is extremely difficult to reverse worldwide."

You probably don't even have basic medical knowledge, so don't cause trouble here.

Dean Jiang Sanjie also tried to dissuade him: "Young man, the emergency room is not a game. The patient's life cannot be taken lightly. Please do not interfere with our normal work."

Chen Changfeng didn't speak, but his eyes were also filled with vigilance and scrutiny.

In his view, this ordinary-looking young man was probably just trying to take advantage of the Chen family's misfortune to extort money.

Despite the doubts and ridicule from the crowd, Su Hao's expression remained unchanged.

But Li Qiuchan stepped forward.

She stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her voice clear and firm.

"I guarantee this with all the assets of the Li Group and in my own name, Li Qiuchan."

"I will bear all responsibility and liability for any accidents that occur during Su Hao's treatment, and will not implicate the Chen family in the slightest."
