"Impossible," Yale stated definitively. "The medicine was prepared by me personally, and I've been monitoring the condition of the two women daily. Their life force was already depleted. They cannot be saved!" He was very confident about this.
As he spoke, his gaze fell upon Doctor Chen, whom he questioned, "Doctor Chen, were you certain before that they wouldn't survive for more than 3 hours?"
Doctor Chen nodded heavily at his words and said, "Yes, absolutely certain. Besides, why would I dare to deceive you?" He was merely an ordinary doctor with a minor reputation in Kyoto. He hadn't wanted to get involved in this mess, but his wife and child were kidnapped, leaving him no choice but to cooperate. With his family in their hands, how could he dare to lie?
"Wise decision," Yale sneered upon hearing this. He turned his gaze to Carmen and after a moment of silence, said, "This is indeed a bit peculiar, but even so, I am very confident in my judgment."
Carmen, on the other side, let out a soft snort and said, "Yale, arrogance is not good. You should know that there's always someone better, and nothing is absolute." As he spoke, he glanced at Doctor Chen and asked, "Doctor Chen, tell me, did anyone else visit the ICU ward today?"
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Doctor Chen pondered for a moment. After a short pause, he nodded and replied, "Yes, after I performed the final examination on the two women, I saw a man appear at the doorway. Tang Xinwan even rushed into his arms. He should be Tang Xinwan's lover..."
Ye Cangtian!
At this, Carmen and Yale exchanged a look, their eyes instantly brightening. It was rumored that Tang Xinwan was a cold beauty who disdained all suitors, and only Ye Cangtian had truly conquered her. Therefore, only Ye Cangtian could embrace her! This implied that Ye Cangtian had returned. Moreover, Ye Cangtian had forged many legends; perhaps he truly had a way to cure the two women. No! He absolutely must have a way to cure them, otherwise, why would the ICU ward have been sealed? In their opinion, Ye Cangtian had used the lockdown as an opportunity to treat the two women. It was also he who had forced the hospital to announce their deaths and prohibit all medical staff from entering the ward. However, despite Ye Cangtian's meticulous planning, he had overlooked one detail: the absence of the two women's bodies in the morgue, which was enough to draw their attention.
"Heh, I thought Ye Cangtian was so capable!"
"Turns out he's just so-so!"
With this thought, Yale couldn't help but show a look of contempt. Carmen glanced deeply at his companion. He considered advising him not to be careless, but knowing his companion's personality, he let it go. After a moment, he spoke, "Yale, since Ye Cangtian has returned, what should be our next move?"
"The duck is in our grasp, we can't let it fly away. Nancy and Guiwu must die!" As he spoke, Yale glanced at Doctor Chen and said, "Doctor Chen, I don't care how you do it, you must enter the ICU ward and see the condition of Nancy and Guiwu with your own eyes!"
"Yale, you're asking the impossible!"
"The hospital has explicitly forbidden it, and there are many people guarding the ward entrance. How am I supposed to get in!" Doctor Chen exclaimed, becoming agitated. He was already very reluctant to harm two innocent women, but he had no choice but to agree for the sake of his wife and child. But now that the ICU ward was sealed, if he were to go, wouldn't he be exposed? In that case, not only his future would be ruined, but his entire remaining life could be jeopardized.
"Doctor Chen, think carefully about your wife and child."
"I can promise you that once I get the information from the ward, I will let your wife and child go. As for how you obtain it, that is up to you."
"Of course, if you are unwilling, I won't force you. I will personally pay a visit and invite your parents and your wife's parents over to persuade you..." Yale said with a playful, slow drawl as he sipped his red wine. To him, dealing with an ordinary doctor was simple.
"You! You are despicable..." Doctor Chen's face flushed crimson. He was filled with righteous anger, but ultimately dared not act rashly. Gritting his teeth, he agreed. After all, as a man, how could he involve four elderly people? Now, he could only stake everything on luck.
In the next moment, Doctor Chen managed to calm his emotions and asked, "How are my wife and child doing now?"
"Better than they could possibly be!" Yale smiled and continued, "Your son is tutored every day and has someone to play with. Your wife lives a life where food is served and clothes are put on for her..."
Hearing this, Doctor Chen glared fiercely at him and said, "I hope you are not lying to me, or I will not rest in peace even as a ghost!" With that, Doctor Chen stood up and left the room directly.
After Doctor Chen left, Carmen approached Yale, somewhat disbelievingly asking, "Did you really arrange for his wife and daughter?" After all, this was Chinese territory, and having a burden nearby was quite dangerous.
"Yes, I did," Yale replied, a sinister smile appearing on his face. He continued, "I settled them in a place of green mountains and clear waters, ensuring they can live carefree lives in their next lives..." Carmen immediately understood and gave Yale a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "You are truly a great philanthropist, hahaha..."
...
At the hospital, the ICU ward had been completely sealed. Ten members of the Dragon Group stood guard outside the door, while the remaining twenty were dispersed across various floors, including the outdoor areas. This deployment not only prevented anyone from approaching but also stopped anyone from escaping or entering through the windows.
Inside the ward, Ye Cangtian and Xu Shian watched the two women absorb the medicinal effects while they chatted. The brothers hadn't seen each other for over half a year, so they had plenty to talk about. After an unknown amount of time, a commotion was heard in the corridor. A female nurse, swaying her hips, approached the corridor outside the ward. Before she could get close, she was stopped by the Dragon Group members.
"I am a nurse sent by the hospital to care for the chief. Please let me pass!"
"I told you to let me pass, did you hear me! If you delay the chief's condition, can you bear the responsibility..." Several Dragon Group guards tried to persuade her, but the female nurse became increasingly agitated and began to argue with the guards.
"Bring her in," Ye Cangtian's voice then emanated from the ward. Upon hearing his voice, the Dragon Group guards immediately stepped aside without a word.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, the female nurse let out a cold snort and then swaggered into the ward. Upon entering, the nurse ignored Ye Cangtian and Xu Shian, her gaze sweeping over Nancy and Guiwu. Seeing the two women seemingly asleep, her eyes instinctively darted to the instruments beside them, and she was immediately stunned. She had been informed of the two women's critical condition previously. In such a state, they couldn't be without the monitoring of medical equipment. Yet, the medical equipment beside the two women was clearly turned off. She was puzzled. Could it be that the two women were already dead? But if they were dead, why were they still in the ward? With this thought, the nurse subconsciously stepped forward, reaching out to test the women's breathing.
Slap!
However, at that moment, a large hand suddenly appeared in her vision, directly grabbing her wrist.
"What are you doing! Let go of me!"
"I am a nurse here, I have the right to check on the patient's condition!" Feeling the pain in her wrist, the female nurse struggled violently, but no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free, and began to cry out.
"If you cry again, I don't mind killing you directly!" Ye Cangtian's voice came. The female nurse froze for a moment, then turned her head to look in the direction of the voice, and instantly gasped, cold sweat immediately streaming down her forehead. Although the man's voice was calm, the murderous intent in his eyes filled her with extreme fear.
