Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The shocking news of Shen Yifan's assassination attempt and subsequent emergency hospitalization quickly spread to the rest of the Shen family.

As soon as Shen Yifan was wheeled into the operating room, Shen Xinyi, anxious and distraught, immediately called Lin Wanqing to tell her the devastating news.

Outside the operating room, everyone looked solemn and anxious, staring intently at the red light on the door. The air was thick with a sense of oppression and unease as everyone waited anxiously for the outcome of the rescue.

This was also the first formal meeting between Lin Wanqing and her ex-husband Shen Mobai since their divorce.

Even though their divorce was acrimonious and unpleasant affair, with deep entanglements and grudges, the person lying in the operating room now is their biological son, with whom they share blood ties and mutual concern.

All past grudges and disputes faded away at the critical moment of life and death, leaving only panic and anxiety. Both of them had worried expressions on their faces and had no heart to care about past entanglements.

Having suffered the devastating blow of the complete bankruptcy of the Shen family, Shen Mobai lived a miserable and destitute life during this period.

In the past, he possessed immense wealth and lived a life of pleasure, surrounded by a group of sycophantic lovers, enjoying boundless glory. But once the Shen family fell from grace and all his wealth and status were lost, all those women who had coveted his money and position turned their backs on him and left without a trace, not one of them willing to stay even for a moment.

Having lost both his money and his family, Shen Mobai has been confined to the desolate old Shen family mansion for some time now, shrouded in the shadow of bankruptcy and debt, and depressed every day.

As early as when the Shen family declared bankruptcy, Shen Mobai was furious to learn that his life's work had been destroyed by his son. He had always prided himself on his shrewd business acumen and had built a vast Shen family business over his entire life. His eldest son, Shen Yifan, was his proudest achievement. He never expected that his carefully groomed heir would completely ruin the century-old Shen family in just a few years.

At that moment, he was consumed by rage and lashed out at Shen Yifan. In his anger, he almost attacked her directly, filled with disappointment and resentment.

Now that his eldest son is critically injured and his life hangs in the balance, all his anger has turned into anxiety and fear.

The atmosphere outside the emergency room was deathly silent; everyone waited anxiously, each lost in their own thoughts. A moment later, Shen Mobai suddenly snapped out of his reverie, as if remembering something crucial. He immediately turned to Shen Xinyi beside him, his voice urgent and impatient as he gave her a command:

"Xinyi, quick! Call your second brother right now and tell him to come over immediately!"

His breathing was slightly rapid, and his eyes were filled with urgency: "Your second brother is a medical expert. How can he not be there when such a life-or-death situation has happened in the family! Contact him immediately and tell him to come to the hospital right away!"

Shen Yifei, the second son of the Shen family, had been on a medical exchange abroad for some time and had just returned to Beijing. He was completely unaware of the Shen family's successive bankruptcies and the turmoil that had ensued.

He was an extreme workaholic, his mind always focused on his medical career, spending his days between the operating room and the department. After becoming an adult and independent, he moved out of the Shen family's old house early on, renting an apartment next to the First Hospital of Beijing for work convenience. He rarely cared about the family disputes and was completely unaware that his family had been turned upside down.

Upon receiving her father's instructions, Shen Xinyi didn't dare to delay and immediately took out her phone to call Shen Yifei.

At this moment, Shen Yifei had just finished a series of high-intensity surgeries and dragged his exhausted body back to the rest room. He had just lay down and was about to close his eyes for a short rest when his phone on the pillow rang urgently.

He initially thought it was a work call from the hospital department, but when he glanced up and saw the name "Xinyi" on the screen, his tense brows softened slightly. He answered the call, his voice hoarse with post-operative fatigue, yet revealing a rare tenderness towards his sister: "Hello, Xinyi? Why did you suddenly call your second brother? Did you come to pick me up to come back to the country? I just landed and immediately performed several surgeries. I was planning to rest for a while before going home to see you. I brought you a lot of gifts from abroad this time."

Shen Yifei's tone was light and cheerful, filled with the joy of returning home. Before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Shen Xinyi's panicked and distraught sobs on the other end of the phone.

Shen Xinyi had no time to listen to any talk of gifts. Her voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with fear and anxiety: "Second Brother! Don't say anything more! Come to Beijing First Hospital immediately! Eldest Brother is in trouble! He's in the emergency room undergoing emergency treatment! His condition is extremely dangerous!"

The sudden bad news made Shen Yifei instantly lose all his relaxation, his expression turning serious: "What happened? How did my brother end up in the emergency room when he was perfectly fine?"

"It can't be explained in just a few words! Second brother, hurry! It might be too late if you're any later!"

"Okay, you guys wait at the door, I'll be right there!"

Shen Yifei's residence was just a block away from the hospital, only a ten-minute walk away. He ignored his exhaustion, jumped out of bed, grabbed a coat, picked up his car keys, and rushed out of the lounge, speeding towards the emergency room.

He arrived at the emergency room shortly afterward.

The corridor lights were a stark white, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere. Standing silently at the door were Shen Mobai, whose face was deathly pale; Shen Xinyi, whose eyes were red and filled with anxiety; and their mother, Lin Wanqing.

Upon seeing Lin Wanqing, Shen Yifei paused slightly, but still maintained proper etiquette, softly calling out, "Mom."

When Lin Wanqing saw her second son arrive, it was as if she had instantly grasped her only lifeline. She rushed forward and tightly gripped his wrist, her fingertips icy and trembling. Her voice was filled with suppressed sobs and panic: "Second son! Please save your eldest brother! You're an expert in this field! Please go in and see! Yifan has been stabbed and is still inside being treated; his life hangs in the balance!"

"Mom, don't panic."

Shen Yifei immediately steadied himself, gently raising his hand to soothe the agitated Lin Wanqing. All personal emotions vanished from his eyes, instantly switching to the professional and calm demeanor of a doctor. His tone was steady and resolute: "With me here, I will do my best. You can wait outside without worry."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, turned around and quickly found the attending physician on duty, accurately communicated the patient's injury, surgical progress and various indicators, and quickly understood the situation during the operation.

After confirming everything was in order, Shen Yifei changed into a sterile surgical gown and disinfected himself according to hospital procedures. With an upright posture and brisk steps, he resolutely walked into the brightly lit emergency operating room.

The heavy operating room doors slowly closed, shutting out the anxious members of the Shen family.

The moment the operating room doors closed completely, the already oppressive atmosphere in the corridor instantly became extremely heavy.

The stark white light shone on the three faces, making each of them restless.

Shen Mobai stood by the window with his hands behind his back, his spine stiff and his face frighteningly gloomy. His eldest son lay in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance, filling him with an overwhelming sense of panic and helplessness for the first time.

He breathed heavily, his eyes filled with regret.

Previously, he had been furious and sternly rebuked Shen Yifan because of the Shen family's bankruptcy, but when faced with a life-or-death situation, all his resentment and dissatisfaction vanished, leaving only anxiety in his heart.

If something really happens to Shen Yifan, the Shen family will be completely finished.
