Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless; this guy's temper was really terrible.

After Qin Hao came out, Feng Xue hurriedly followed. She feared that if she didn't leave soon, Tie Gaoming would lose his temper with her.

Looking at Qin Hao in front of her, to be honest, she didn't feel much aversion.

Even though he was the Hao from Yonghe Street, even though he had someone break both of Wang Kun's legs.

Wang Kun, that scumbag, not only had insulted Liu Man Yue but also brutally murdered this girl in the prime of her youth.

Breaking just one leg was too lenient for such a person.

If it weren't for an anonymous tip-off, the police might not have caught Wang Kun, allowing him to roam free.

Feng Xue stealthily glanced at the interrogation room behind her and wondered, "If Captain Tie knew what I'm thinking, would he hit me?"

She knew Tie Gaoming was a very stubborn and principled man, but sometimes she felt he was somewhat old-fashioned.

If he had been more flexible and adaptable, he might not have been stuck at the position of squad captain for over a decade and even demoted from chief captain to deputy captain.

After leaving the police station building, Qin Hao suddenly turned and asked Feng Xue, "Aren't you supposed to drive me back?"

"You can take a bus back yourself; we're too busy to drive you," Feng Xue responded with a glance.

You think a police car is a taxi?

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless, and he walked out of the police station. It wasn't long before Li Bao also came out from inside.

"Everything okay?" Qin Hao asked him.

Li Bao said with a smile, "Hao, it's not my first time here; it's all good."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his phone in his pocket rang urgently. He answered the call and asked, "What's up?"

"Brother, where are you? Mom suddenly fell ill today and is now in the hospital," a girl's voice came through from the other end of the phone.

Li Bao's face changed at this news: "What did you say? Which hospital is Mom at? I'll be right there."

"She's at Jiangshan City Second Hospital, currently in the emergency room. Remember to bring some money when you come, brother."

After hanging up the phone, Li Bao said to Qin Hao in a hurried tone, "Hao, I've got to go; got an emergency."

Qin Hao: "Is Auntie ill? Let me come and have a look too; I also know some medical skills."

Li Bao nodded, then hailed a taxi and rushed towards Jiangshan City Second Hospital.

On the way, Qin Hao made a call to Kang Youyi to tell him that he was fine now.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the entrance of the Second Hospital, and Li Bao hurried inside as soon as he got out of the car.

They walked up to the fifth floor of the emergency building, where a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with red-rimmed eyes, stood outside the emergency room.

Li Qian, seeing Li Bao arrive, tearfully said, "Brother, Mom won't be in danger, right?"

Li Bao consoled his sister: "What happened?"

"This afternoon, Mom and I were watching TV when she suddenly complained of stomach discomfort and asked me to get her medication. Just after she spoke, Mom spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted," Li Qian said as she cried.

At that moment, a nurse hurried out of the emergency room, and Li Bao promptly asked, "Nurse, how is my mom doing?"

"You're the patient's family member? The patient is still being resuscitated. Here's the bill; you need to go down to the first-floor payment counter to pay for the surgery."

Li Bao: "Okay, got it."

With that, Li Bao quickly took the bill and headed for the first floor.

It was only after Li Bao had left that Li Qian noticed Qin Hao standing beside her, giving him a curious glance before falling silent again.

Right now, she was in no mood to talk to anyone.

...

More than ten minutes later, Li Bao returned, the surgery alone costing almost thirty thousand yuan.

Seeing Qin Hao and his sister standing there, Li Bao quickly said, "Little sister, this is your brother's good friend, Qin Hao."

After speaking, he said to Qin Hao, "Hao, take a seat quickly, and little sister, you sit down too."

The three of them settled into the chairs nearby and quietly waited, with Li Bao intermittently rubbing his hands together.

Qin Hao could tell he was very nervous and worried about his mother.

At the same time, he was somewhat curious—where was Li Bao's father? Why hadn't he seen him?

Had they divorced? Or what was it?

The three had waited for half an hour when the doctors inside the emergency room were still desperately trying to save her.

Unable to hold back, Qin Hao asked, "Why haven't I seen your uncle?"

Li Bao's face stiffened, as he explained, "He and my mother divorced when my sister and I were very young."

By a little after seven o'clock, the sun was about to set, and the sky outside was glowing red.

The three of them had already been waiting outside for more than an hour.

His mother had been in resuscitation for almost two hours now and still hadn't come out, a situation that was far from optimistic.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Bao said to Qin Hao in a hurry, "Hao, you should go back first. It's getting dark."

Qin Hao said, "No problem, I'll wait until Auntie's surgery is finished."

Before long, Kang Youyi arrived too. He had received the news from Qin Hao and came over right after getting off work.

"Auntie hasn't come out yet?" Kang Youyi saw Qin Hao and the other two sitting there and asked softly.

Li Bao nodded: "Sit down and we'll talk."

Li Bao had a good reputation on Yonghe Street, but he didn't really have many true friends. The fatty was one, and now Qin Hao was also one.

The rest were fair-weather friends, who only followed you when there were benefits involved.

He was well aware that if one day he fell from grace, those people would be the first to leave him.

Eight o'clock in the evening

The door to the emergency room opened, and a group of doctors and nurses walked out.

One doctor, his head drenched in sweat so that his cap was soaked through, hurried towards Li Bao.

He said anxiously, "The patient has severe gastrointestinal bleeding, and the situation is dire. Our facilities here are limited.

We absolutely cannot cure the patient. I advise you to transfer her to another hospital as quickly as possible, or else you'll only be left to prepare for the worst."

"Uncle, I beg you, please save my mom. I can't lose her," pleaded Li Bao's sister.

Li Qian had depended solely on her mother since she was a child, and upon hearing the doctor's words, tears streamed uncontrollably down her face as she looked at the doctor with a pleading gaze.

"Little girl, we have done our best." Chen Deshi let out a sigh.

He had been a doctor for decades and had seen too many scenes of life and death, but this was also the scene he least wanted to witness.

Because it made him feel guilty.

Guilty for not being able to cure the patient, for causing their family grief.

Although he knew it wasn't his fault, sometimes things are beyond explanation.

"Doctor, which hospital do you think we should transfer her to?" Li Bao asked urgently.

Chen Deshi answered, "Given the current medical techniques and equipment, if she is transferred to Jianghai City First Hospital, there's a sixty to seventy percent chance of saving her, but if transferred to Jinchen 309 Hospital, there's an eighty to ninety percent chance of recovery."

Jianghai City? Jinchen City?

Li Bao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as these places were too far, and no one could be sure what might happen on the road.

Looking at his mother, whose face was pale on the hospital bed, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Could my mother's condition flare up on the way? What should we do if it does?"

Chen Deshi spoke with a complicated look in his eyes, "We are not certain when your mother's condition might flare up. If it happens on the road, I'm afraid there might really be no hope."
