Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 291 - 289 Xiaoqi Saves Someone (Part 2)

Xiaofeng stared at the emergency room doors, wishing she could rush in and use spiritual energy to protect her older brother’s heart and keep him safe.

If He Ximei knew, she would surely break down and not be able to handle it.

The doors of the emergency room opened, and a nurse came out, "We may not have enough blood in the blood bank. The family should be ready to donate blood for the patient at any time. The patient has O-type blood, you can get tested to see if you’re a match."

"We’ll get tested." Tie Bao and Liu Chunming stepped forward. "You’re pregnant, you can’t donate blood."

Xiaofeng nodded, "Thank you."

Liu Chunming and Tie Bao went to the nurse’s station to get their blood tested, while Xiaofeng stood by the emergency room, her divine sense immediately entering her space, summoning Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, you can go in, right? Help me transfer spiritual energy into my brother’s body."

With the medical technology of this era not being as advanced as in the twenty-first century, she was very worried that once her brother went in, he might never come out.

Xiaoqi was, of course, aware of what was happening outside. It thought for a moment, "I should be able to. As long as you, my master, focus your divine sense on the person, I can get close to them, and the spiritual energy will naturally flow in."

"Good." The image of Su Peng’s large eyes, honest face, robust body, and his goofy smile immediately appeared in Xiaofeng’s mind.

Xiaoqi quickly left the space, flying like an elf into the emergency room.

It hovered beside Su Peng, transferring the spiritual energy from the space into him.

Excited voices of doctors were heard at her ear, "Director, the patient’s heart meridian has been revived."

"Director, the patient’s blood pressure has stabilized too."

"Director, the patient’s bleeding has also stopped."

One piece of good news after another, all indicating that the patient had passed the critical period and was no longer in life-threatening danger.

Having returned to the space, Xiaoqi became incredibly weak, lying in the grass of the forest, saying faintly, "Master, your brother is out of danger now. I need a good sleep to reabsorb the energy of the forest and recover the strength I just expended."

Transferring spiritual energy to save someone was a physically demanding task, very exhausting indeed.

"You’ve worked hard, sleep now." Hearing that her brother’s condition had stabilized, Xiaofeng let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had the space with her, or it would have been uncertain whether her brother could have made it this time.

With this thought, she remembered something.

Her brother had suffered a brain injury this time, but if she had medicine that could cure her brother, perhaps others wouldn’t notice.

However, her pregnancy wasn’t even seven months along yet. Xiaoqi had mentioned before that they needed to wait until her seven-month mark before a medicine that could restore nerve function in the brain would appear in the Spiritual Mirror Forest.

The doors of the emergency room opened, and doctors and nurses wheeled out a hospital bed, "Is Su Peng’s family here?"

Xiaofeng stepped forward, "I’m his sister."

"For now, it seems that Su Peng has passed the critical period and is not in life-threatening danger, but the patient has suffered severe brain injuries, and it’s unknown when he will wake up." There are multiple blood clots in the brain, and since the patient’s brain was already somewhat compromised, it is now even more uncertain whether the brain function would be more severely affected than before.

Xiaofeng told He Ximei about Su Peng’s car accident.

He Ximei’s legs went weak when she heard the news, and she nearly collapsed.

"How could he get into a car accident all of a sudden? Who did it?" He Ximei couldn’t believe that her tall, always-smiling son would have a car accident.

"Mom, I’ve already asked Baozi to come pick you up, let’s talk more when you’re here. I will get to the bottom of this, and I won’t let anyone who hit my older brother get away with it," Xiaofeng said.

"Xiaofeng," He Ximei choked up, "you must make sure the doctors do everything they can to save Pengzi. If he doesn’t make it, I don’t want to live either."

...

Luo Yuzhu was locked in Su Xiaofeng’s office. One hour passed, then two, and still Su Xiaofeng hadn’t returned.

She couldn’t help but panic.

She thought about calling those two men to ask, but she feared people would find out she was behind the kidnapping of Su Peng.

Xiaofeng returned from the scene of the accident, where Captain Hong had promised to help find the driver responsible. Her face was cold as ice as she pushed the door to her office open and looked at Luo Yuzhu with frigid eyes, "Luo Yuzhu, tell me, how did my brother have his car accident?"

Luo Yuzhu lifted her head sharply upon hearing this, "Don’t wrong me, Su Peng’s car accident had nothing to do with me."

"Yesterday afternoon, you had someone trick my brother into getting into your car in Lihua Village. You did that to force me to testify for you, isn’t that right?"

Luo Yuzhu’s eyes flickered, "Don’t guess wildly. If you have no evidence, you shouldn’t talk nonsense, or you’ll have to face legal responsibility."

"It’s not like there’s no evidence," Xiaofeng snorted coldly, "Last night, someone saw those two men take my brother into a hotel, and Captain Hong has already found them. According to their confession, you were the one who told them to do it."

Luo Yuzhu’s pupils dilated upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words.

How could that be possible, she had been so secretive, how could anyone have seen? No, if Xiaofeng had known Su Peng’s whereabouts last night, why didn’t she call the police yesterday.

Luo Yuzhu bit her lip, struggling in desperation, "Even if I did have them bring Su Peng down, so what? I didn’t tell them to hurt him; I told them to treat him well. Besides, if I hadn’t done this, you definitely wouldn’t have agreed to help me. I had no choice."

"So you admit, you had someone trick my brother and hold him in a hotel," Xiaofeng repeated.

"He went with them voluntarily, it wasn’t any trick," Luo Yuzhu wasn’t stupid, "He’s an adult, he knows exactly what he’s doing."

"He knows?" Xiaofeng sneered, "My brother has brain damage and is mentally disabled; you didn’t just find out about this today. Luo Yuzhu, to tell you the truth, I originally had some hope for you, thinking you were my biological mother, and no matter what, you couldn’t treat me too badly."

"But what came after made the bond between us fade more and more, to the point where we’re even less than strangers."

Luo Yuzhu listened to her, as if she were coming to an understanding, "So, you had no intention of helping me from the beginning. Last night, when you agreed to help me, it was just so that I would release Su Peng myself, right?"

"Still, I was too careless," Xiaofeng regretted.

"Wake up, Su Peng is not your real older brother, and his life or death has nothing to do with you," Luo Yuzhu said angrily, hearing the self-reproach in Xiaofeng’s tone, "He’s a fool, if he dies, he dies. It’s no loss to anyone if he’s gone, why are you so upset?"

"Luo Yuzhu, you think everyone is like you, without a shred of humanity for the sake of wealth and status. Let me tell you this, Lin Jianguo has no future at all," Xiaofeng said.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuzhu just wanted to sneer, "What big talk, you think you can touch Jianguo? Don’t flatter yourself with your capabilities."
