Yan Xi opened Gu Hai's hand and exposed his chest. She found the area below his sternum and pressed her palm downwards.
After the first press, Gu Hai did not react. The artery on his neck remained motionless.
Yan Xi frowned and continued pressing.
However, the artery still did not throb, and the breathing in his nose became weaker.
She took a deep breath and used more force than before.
The door was suddenly kicked open.
Someone grabbed her wrist with one hand and said angrily,
"What are you doing!"
A sharp female voice followed suit.
"Gu Cheng, kick her out. If anything happens to Dad, I will definitely kill you."
Being stopped in the middle of first aid, Yan Xi was extremely anxious. She struggled to break free from the man, but his grip was too tight.
The grip was so great that it almost crushed her bones.
"Let go of me!" Yan Xi turned around and glared at him. "If you don't want him to die, let go of me!"
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and examined Yan Xi. After a few seconds, he let go of her.
Yan Xi continued to press on her heart and finally saw Gu Hai's neck throbbing slightly.
She heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the ground, exhausted.
Gu Cheng wanted to check the situation, but he heard her berate, "All of you, don't move. Move aside and leave a quiet and spacious space."
It wasn't long before Gu Hai's complexion returned to normal, and the breath that came out of his nose became much heavier.
The emergency doctor that the butler had called over arrived quickly. They took out their instruments and swiftly tested Gu Hai's heartbeat and pulse. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, they quickly carried him to the small hospital in the backyard.
For the sake of taking care of Old Master Gu and the safety of the Gu family, the large piece of empty land in the backyard of the manor had been converted into a private hospital a few years ago.
The hospital only served the Gu family. Inside were the most expensive instruments and doctors hired from overseas.
Yan Xi stood up as well. She wanted to follow the doctor, trying to understand his condition. However, just when she took a step forward, her hand was grabbed by someone.
Stunned, she turned around. Before she could react, Gu Ling's slap landed on her face.
The sound resounded in the room.
Yan Xi was trying to save the old man with all her might, so when she finished giving him first aid, she was completely exhausted. When the slap landed on her face, she lost her balance and fell to the ground, hardly able to get back on her feet.
"Yan Xi! What did you do? How did my dad become like this?!"
Though Yan Xi heard the questions loud and clear, she had no extra energy to answer any of them.
This slap made her dizzy and her mouth reeked of blood.
Seeing that she remained quiet, Gu Ling was emboldened and raised her hand again.
"Put it down!"
Gu Shen was pushed in by someone. His gaze landed on Yan Xi and his heart ached as he saw the red and swollen marks on her face.
He gripped the wheelchair tightly. For the first time, he hated himself for not being able to walk.
If he could walk, he would now be standing in front of Yan Xi, protecting her instead of leaving her to face everything alone.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Lini's eldest daughter grabbed her hand.
She lowered her voice. "Mom, calm down. Grandpa isn't awake yet. Don't make things too ugly."
"How am I supposed to calm down?!" Gu Lingzhi glared at Yan Xi, "This b*tch made my father unconscious and you want me to calm down?"
