Chapter 528 I Will Take His Life With My Own Hands
The heavy leather shoes pounded on the steps with a loud "thump-thump," as if striking the heartstrings of everyone present.
The corridor outside the operating room had been cleared out, with only a few doctors in white coats walking back and forth, holding medical record folders and talking in hushed tones.
Zhou Mingyuan was standing at the operating room door when he saw Han Xi rushing over. He immediately went to greet him: "Mr. Han, don't worry, we're all ready. Director Zhang and Professor Li are the best doctors, they'll definitely be able to..."
"Step aside."
Han Xi interrupted him, his voice as cold as ice, his eyes brimming with a fierce intensity.
He tried to push Zhou Mingyuan aside and rush into the operating room, but was stopped by two nurses.
"Sir, you can't go in during surgery!"
The nurse's voice trembled, but she still insisted on extending her arm.
Han Xi's gaze swept over them, then landed on Zhou Mingyuan, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He could smell the disinfectant in the air and hear the ticking of instruments in the operating room, but these sounds seemed to be muffled and distant, as if separated by a thick layer of glass.
In his world, all that remained was that tightly closed operating room door and the person behind it, whose fate was unknown.
"Mr. Han."
Zhou Mingyuan took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady. "The Xu family has already made arrangements. We have mobilized the best resources in the entire hospital. Several vice deans and I will also be going in later. Don't worry, we will do our best."
He looked at the bloodstains on Han Xi's hand and added, "Would you like to treat your wound first?"
Han Xi seemed not to hear, staring intently at the door, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Looking at him like this, Zhou Mingyuan felt a little scared.
The person in charge of the Han Group is definitely not a simple character.
The man, who usually commands respect in the business world, now resembles a beast trapped in a cage, exuding a dangerous aura that could erupt at any moment.
Dean Zhou opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by the sound of a wheelchair coming from the end of the corridor.
Xu Fangye pushed Xu Qingrang and walked over quickly.
Xu Fangye's black overcoat was covered in snow, his hair was a little messy, and his face showed undisguised fatigue and anxiety. When he saw Han Xi, he paused for a moment, then quickened his pace.
Xu Qingrang sat in a wheelchair, covered with a thick blanket. His face was paler than usual, but he still kept his back straight and his gaze calmly fell on Han Xi.
"Han Xi".
Xu Qingrang spoke, his voice hoarse and filled with undeniable worry, "Where's Guobao? How is she?"
Han Xi turned his head and looked at the old man in the wheelchair. The fierceness in his eyes subsided slightly, but a more complicated look appeared.
"I just went in, I don't know."
"Dean Zhou!"
Dean Zhou rushed over, "Old man."
"Guo Bao is my granddaughter, the only daughter of our Xu family. Dean Zhou, you must help me protect her!"
The Xu family sponsors a considerable amount of medical expenses for the Central Hospital every year, so how could Dean Zhou dare to say no?
The daughter of the Xu family—no wonder both families mobilized at the same time.
Dean Zhou immediately nodded: "Don't worry, sir, we will do our best."
Here.
Xu Fangye patted Han Xi on the shoulder, the force neither too light nor too heavy: "There are the best doctors inside, all we can do is wait."
There was a hint of guilt in his voice, "It's my fault for not keeping a good eye on her."
Han Xi didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze back to the operating room door.
The door was tightly shut, and the bright red light above it seemed to silently convey the tension inside.
The air in the corridor seemed to freeze, with only the ticking of the wall clock remaining, each second feeling like an eternity.
Zhou Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Xu Fangye, turned around, pushed open the operating room door, and went inside.
The door clicked shut with a soft "click," but in the quiet corridor, it sounded like a thunderclap, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.
Han Xi slowly leaned against the wall, the cold wall against his burning back bringing a slight coolness.
He closed his eyes, and Fang Li's smiling face flashed through his mind.
The first time she smiled at him at the banquet, the time she nestled on the sofa watching a movie, the time she stood in the kitchen doorway wearing his shirt...
Those images are so clear, as if they happened just yesterday, yet so distant, like a dream.
"You must be alright..."
He faced the closed door and prayed softly, his voice filled with an unprecedented vulnerability.
The faint moonlight shone through the window at the end of the corridor, illuminating the still-damp bloodstains on the back of his hand and the tear that slid down his cheek.
He quickly wiped away the tear, leaving only a faint watermark, as if it had never existed.
After Deng Xiulin and Jiang Bei finished dealing with Song Yuchen, they watched as the police took him away before rushing to the hospital.
When the two arrived, the operating room lights were still on.
Like a stone hanging over everyone's heart, the atmosphere in the entire corridor was so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
"Xiu Jin".
Deng Xiulin sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Fang Li is a lucky person and will be fine."
Jiang Bei also came over and said, "Boss, Song Yuchen has been taken away by the police. The evidence is conclusive, and he won't have a chance to get out of there this time."
Jiang Bei thought this result would make his boss feel a little better.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man squatting in the corner suddenly looked up. Perhaps because he had been squatting for a long time, he staggered when he stood up.
Jiang Bei and Deng Xiulin instinctively reached out to help him up.
Han Xi raised his hand to avoid it, then stood up by supporting himself against the wall. The ferocity in his eyes was almost overwhelming, and his sharp lips were cruel with every movement.
"No, even if he never sees the light of day again, how can that compare to the suffering that Ali endured!"
Jiang Bei's eyes flashed, and he immediately nodded: "Yes, I know what to do."
Han Xi: "Go in person. I will make my Ali pay a thousandfold for all the suffering he has endured! Remember, don't kill him. I will take his life with my own hands."
Jiang Bei accepted the order, arrived, and left quickly after less than five minutes.
After he left, Xu Fangye settled the old man in and returned.
Xu Qingrang was getting on in years, and after a night of worry and fear, he was already feeling unwell. However, he was unwilling to go back, so Xu Fangye had no choice but to find a temporary hospital room for him.
In the empty corridor, three men stood in a row against the wall, none of them speaking.
After a long while, Xu Fangye finally spoke.
“This was my oversight. Song Yuchen checked into Haihuang International Hotel early on. I had people check all the guests who were present that day, but I forgot to check the guests who checked into the hotel in advance.”
Han Xi remained silent.
Xu Fangye paused and then said, "Xu Fangye alone was not capable of bypassing the security guards and taking the person away. It was that woman from the Sheng family who helped him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xi finally made a move.
His dark eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at Xu Fangye.
Xu Fangye: "She is in the ward downstairs right now."
Han Xi's icy face visibly hardened, and without a word, he lifted his foot and walked toward the elevator on the other side of the corridor.
