Just seven words in a sentence, yet they made the decisive Han Luoli suddenly lose his breath. His large palm, holding the phone, clenched abruptly as he quietly listened to his brother on the other end lay out the situation one by one.
Bai Xiaoyu spoke concisely, and Han Luoli uttered a "hm" before hanging up the call.
His long fingers swiftly dialed Wei Feng's number, commanding him to arrange a helicopter as quickly as possible.
His baby had fainted, his wife had been rushed into the emergency room, his woman was suffering from nausea and vomiting… He couldn't wait another minute.
The neighboring conference room.
The sudden halt of the signing ceremony caused an uproar as if a pot had exploded.
Whether it was the partner firm or the room filled with executives and shareholders, all their expressions changed. There were those who questioned, those who were shocked, and those who were angry.
The leading shareholder, Li Yibo, a conservative in his fifties, was already fuming at the top of his head after seeing Han Luoli leave without any apparent reason, and immediately stood up to stop him.
This collaboration involved a hundred billion in funds and profits, affecting the interests of countless people after a long drawn-out tug-of-war, and had finally been settled. Yet now, the man in charge simply decided not to sign and walked away as if it was nothing.
For the older shareholders, this was simply outrageous and nonsensical.
"Han Luoli, I won't allow you to leave!" Li Yibo, pointing at the man's sturdy back, trembled with anger, his cheeks quivering with fury.
"No one can stop me, including you," he turned around, his profile stone-cold.
"Don't forget how important this deal is! Miss this chance, and there won't be another one."
"So what?!" Money, could it compare to his own woman?
"You heartless man, here are so many people, your seniors and elders. Everyone is looking up to you, supporting you, and here you are, taking us all for dead, aren't you?"
"Uncle Li, I didn't tell you to 'get lost' precisely because you are an elder," Han Luoli said, his breath icy cold, the smile on the corner of his lips was enough to intimidate, like a leopard about to strike, quiet yet extremely dangerous.
With a cold snort and a flick of his sleeve, Han Luoli no longer paid attention to the chaotic crowd behind him, and in full view of everyone, he climbed through the window and onto the helicopter.
Central Hospital of Mofeng City.
By the time the helicopter landed, it was already eight in the evening.
The empty hallway outside the emergency room seemed to be swept by a violently oppressive cold gust due to the forceful strides of a certain man.
Bai Xiaoyu still sat quietly, recognizing Han Luoli's presence even without seeing him. He stood up, his gaze drifting into the distance.
"How is Xiao Er?" There was no need for pleasantries or politeness between brothers.
"Four hours now, still not out."
"What did Shen Minghan say?" Han Luoli furrowed his brows, his heart beating fiercely. How could it be so serious if she hadn't come out after four hours?
"He came out once in between and said the situation was complicated," Bai Xiaoyu explained before adding, "Shen Minghan, an internal medicine specialist, and a gynecologist are all in there. However, Luoli..."
Bai Xiaoyu paused, his gaze shifting as he looked at Han Luoli. Even the usually sharp-tongued man seemed to be hesitating for a moment.
Han Luoli's expression grew even darker, "Just say it."
"Shen Minghan has already ruled out the possibility of pregnancy," Bai Xiaoyu said. Initially, he had also speculated that Gu Xiaoer was pregnant, but the reality proved otherwise, and he was worried Han Luoli would be disappointed, which is why he did not want to tell him.
Not pregnant…
What did that matter?!
Han Luoli's face turned even grimmer, "I just want her to be healthy!"
