The doctor said if they had been half an hour later, or perhaps not even half an hour, it would have been impossible to save Mr. He.
Mr. He was kidnapped from his office, at that time wearing only a long underwear top and a wool sweater. The criminals didn't give him any clothes after taking him; he was bound in the cold, ice-forming, drafty factory for over ten hours. How could an elderly man in his sixties or seventies withstand that?
Fortunately, less than two minutes after He Xing hung up the phone with Bai Qian, the surgery was over.
The doctor said Mr. He was out of danger and just needed proper care from then on; this was the best news He Xing had heard in two days.
An hour later, a piece of devastating news arrived: Xia Ning's heartbeat had stopped, and she was rushed to the ICU; it was said that the dagger had struck her heart.
He Xing left Mr. He in the care of Old Zhou and Liang Tao and waited outside the ICU himself.
