There was an icy cold tension in the brightly lit mansion.
The servants were on tenterhooks, and they did not dare to breathe at all.
Gong Siyu's lips were taut, and the look in his eyes was viciously cold and grim. He was seated in the middle of the sofa in the reception hall of the mansion sinisterly. He glared intensely at the door that was wide open, as if there were flames in his eyes.
It was as though the figure whom he wanted to see would appear once he appeared.
Water was flowing out of the circular white marble Roman fountain incessantly.
The dim yellow street lamps illuminated the dark night.
Time passed, minute by minute.
His palms began to get sweaty and clammy.
Gong Siyu's narrow eyes lit up when he heard the increasingly clear sounds of the car engine!
Bai Feiran had returned!
He stood up suddenly and quickly walked out of the door.
He saw Bai Feiran hurrying out of the driver's seat of the car.
At one point, he thought that there was someone in the backseat.
He thought that she would alight from the car and obediently leap into his arms.
Unfortunately...
When he saw Bai Feiran getting out of the car alone and that there was no one else in it, Gong Siyu's eyes turned gloomy, and he was filled with disappointment.
His eyes turned even colder.
Crestfallen, he looked down and restrained the infinite dejection in his eyes.
He spoke coldly, "You didn't find her?"
After a while, Bai Feiran looked at Gong Siyu extremely solemnly.
"No, Young Master, we found her." He paused again and said, "But..."
Shocked, he raised his head in joy and asked, "Have you found her? Where?"
Bai Feiran rarely saw Gong Siyu revealing so many emotions within a short period of time.
He was first disappointed, after which he was surprised. Then, he was full of anticipation.
His expression was extremely complicated, and Bai Feiran slowly lowered his head. "Young Master, before I tell you, you must promise me that you must stay extremely calm and not do anything impulsive."
Gong Siyu was startled to hear Bai Feiran's words, and his narrow eyes constricted.
A strong, ominous feeling began to fill his heart, and his limbs turned cold.
He recalled last night's nightmare.
He dreamed that Ji Younai died and would never wake up again.
Besides, that was probably the only thing that he feared the most.
Then, Gong Siyu heard Bai Feiran say slowly in a deep voice with narrowed eyes, "Our men found Ms. Ji within the sycamore forest a few kilometers away from the villa, but Young Master..."
His heartstrings trembled, and he closed his eyes.
Gong Siyu clenched his fists, but no matter what, he still couldn't suppress the pain and bitterness within his heart.
"Continue speaking!"
"Ms. Ji is not breathing, it seems… that she can't make it."
When Bai Feiran's words fell, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the sky. Immediately afterward, there was a dull rumbling of the thunder. It was indeed very frightening.
However. Gong Siyu's gaze was extremely terrifying. His dark, narrow eyes were even colder at night.
"What do you mean she can't make it?"
Deep down, he still had a dash of hope. He thought, 'That seems to mean that she's still alive, right?'
Bai Feiran knew Gong Siyu's temper very well, and he also knew how much Ji Younai meant to him. He was scared that Gong Siyu would fly into a rage and do something that was irrevocable in a moment of anger and irrationality.
Hence, he went against his conscience and said, "Young Master, I... can't be sure if Ms. Ji is really not going to pull through, so I asked Lin Feng and the others to send her to the nearest hospital for emergency rescue. Maybe she has been rescued and is fine now?"
"Which hospital is she in now?"
"Beijing Third People's Hospital."
Before Bai Feiran could finish speaking, Gong Siyu hurriedly jumped into the car and made a sharp turn, and moved over.
Seeing this, Bai Feiran frowned and hurried down to the underground garage and sped away in his Maserati. At the same time, he called the captain of the security squad, Lin Feng.
"Hello, Mr. Bai?"
"Is she still being rescued?"
"Ms. Ji's heartbeat is too weak, and they almost can't detect it. It's going to stop at any time. The doctor said that she's definitely not going to pull through but we forced them to rescue her! She's been inside for 15 minutes and hasn't come out yet!"
He continued, "But Mr. Bai, she's already in such a state, and she definitely can't make it. We've already established that fact."
Bai Feiran took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, his tone cold and serious.
"Lin Feng, listen up! Young Master is already on his way to the hospital. He'll arrive in 10 minutes! I don't care what the doctor does, he must make Young Master think that Ms. Ji is alive!"
"Do you understand?"
"Use a ventilator, external circulation machine, anything! Anything that works, even if he has to pretend that she's still alive!"
"Mr. Bai, why is there such a huge commotion? Isn't she just a girl?"
"Lin Feng, when Young Master was 16 years old, his German Shepherd, which he had raised for seven years, was poisoned and tortured to death by Gong Siyi. It was his favorite pet. In the end, Young Master relentlessly poisoned every living pet and animal in the Gong Family's residence without any emotions. He is very vicious, and his means are unheard of!"
He continued, "Then, no one in the Gong Family dared to rear any animals. Young Master Gong dotes on Ms. Ji and she's suddenly missing from his mansion. Do you think those servants and Ms. Wen will be able to escape unscathed?"
There would probably be a bloodbath.
Bai Feiran had witnessed Gong Siyu resorting to terrifying means before.
Gong Siyu and Bai Feiran rushed to the hospital almost at the same time.
They entered the emergency rescue building, one after another.
Soon, Bai Feiran received a text message that gave him a temporary sense of relief.
[Lin Feng]: Mr. Bai, she is in the intensive care unit, and a ventilator has been attached to her. Her vital signs can be barely maintained. However, the doctor said that she will pass away in just a day or two. Ms. Ji really can't be rescued and her heartbeat will stop at any time.
As long as she wasn't dead, everything would be fine. Fortunately, she was still alive.
At least, he would have one or two days to make his Young Master slowly accept reality and think of a remedy!
They were in the isolated intensive care ward of the ICU.
Gong Siyu could not understand it at all. He had only not seen Ji Younai for half a day, and she was still asleep in his arms last night. Yet, in the blink of an eye, she was lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital with her trachea cut open and a ventilator, as well as other medical equipment attached to her.
Her face was as pale as a sheet, and it was lifeless.
Looking at the vital signs on the electrocardiogram, Gong Siyu could almost feel that Ji Younai's life was fading away and dwindling by the minute. She was just like a peony flower that was about to wither away.
At this moment, the doctor arrived.
"Are you her family member?"
"Yes."
Gong Siyu sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Ji Younai's cold, feeble hand, and slowly pressed it onto his cheek, as if to warm her up.
"The patient did not suffer any external trauma, but for some reason, she is suffering from acute multiple organ failure, resulting in a sudden sign of death. Even though her current vital signs can barely be maintained by these devices, her heartbeat will spontaneously stop in at most two days. Prepare for her funeral, people really... " When the doctor was halfway through his explanation, he was interrupted by Gong Siyu.
"Shh, don't talk, you'll wake her up."
Glancing at the doctor coldly, Gong Siyu placed his index finger on his lips.
After being glared at by Gong Siyu, the doctor's heart skipped a beat, and he fled.
Soon, someone from the Voluntary Organ Donation Organization arrived.
"Sir, are you a family member? I'm sorry to bother you, but this is a volunteer form for organ donation, can you..."
"No, I can't, get lost."
"..."
