Chapter 21
Drop the Act!
The two of them finally entered the elevator. Shen Hanyu quickly pressed the close button. The human voices were finally cut off from the outside world and turned quiet again.
Sang Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you.” she said.
Shen Hanyu didn’t even look at her. Instead, he said coldly, “Don’t come here again.”
“I just wanted to visit Uncle Shen and see if he’s feeling better…”
She wanted to explain that although her brother was a little arrogant and overbearing, he’d never kill anyone. But after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
Shen Hanyu wouldn’t believe her until the results of the police investigation came out.
They soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor. The two of them walked out of the elevator in silence and heard a familiar voice shouting, “Brother Hanyu.”
Seeing Sang Qianqian and Shen Hanyu come out together, Xia Sitong’s face changed. “Brother Hanyu, why…”
“Let’s go upstairs first.” Shen Hanyu said calmly, “My dad is still waiting for you.”
Xia Sitong nodded her head, “Alright.”
Sang Qianqian silently watched the two of them enter the elevator, her emotions slightly complicated.
She’d even thought that Shen Hanyu had sent her downstairs on purpose, but it turned out that he’d only come to pick Xia Sitong up.
…
Sang Qianqian never went to the hospital again. There were many things at home that she had to worry about.
Her brother was in jail, and her father had lost a capable assistant. But, most importantly, the Sang family was involved in a murder case, which had a massive impact on the family’s stock price and reputation.
The police investigation needed time, and the official results wouldn’t be out for a while. This negative impact couldn’t be eliminated within a short time.
Sang Pengcheng was so busy with the company that he didn’t even have time to eat. He looked more haggard by the day.
Sang Qianqian was anxious, but there was nothing she could do to help. She could only ask the chef at home to cook and send it to her father personally every day.
Sang Pengcheng couldn’t bear to reject the food that she sent him. No matter how busy he was, he’d still eat some.
The current situation was already bad enough. However, Sang Qianqian didn’t expect that Shen Hanyu’s mother would be in trouble at such a critical time.
The hospital Shen Hanyu’s mother stayed in after her surgery was built with the Sang family’s investment. She’d just undergone heart surgery and was already weak, so she couldn’t take any stimulation.
Originally, Sang Pengcheng had already arranged for someone to take care of Shen Hanyu and ordered that no one was to tell Shen Hanyu’s mother about Shen Shaofeng’s car accident.
However, the matter of Sang Minglang being imprisoned had caused a huge commotion, and it was inevitable for the hospital staff to discuss this matter behind their backs.
When Mrs. Shen went to the bathroom, she accidentally heard two nurses mention that Shen Shaofeng was seriously injured in a car accident. Her face immediately turned pale, and she fainted. Due to that, she was sent to the emergency room.
When Sang Qianqian heard this news, her face turned pale.
Shen Hanyu hated the Sang family because of what happened with Shen Shaofeng and Xia Zhixin.
If something were to happen to his mother, how much would he hate the Sang family?
She followed her father to the hospital.
Shen Hanyu’s mother was still in the emergency room. Outside the emergency room, Shen Hanyu’s face was frighteningly cold, and the aura around him was intimidating.
Xia Sitong stood beside him, sobbing softly. Even Shen Shaofeng, who was still in the hospital, had arrived. He was sitting in a wheelchair, his expression ugly.
Sang Pengcheng had just arrived when the hospital Director came to greet him in fear and trepidation. “Mr. Sang, the patient is undergoing emergency treatment. Unfortunately, her condition isn’t very good.”
Sang Pengcheng’s face darkened. “What did I tell you that day?”
Beads of cold sweat rolled down the Director’s forehead. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sang. I’ve neglected this greatly…”
“This is a matter of life and death. We can’t be careless!” Sang Pengcheng said sternly. “You ignored my words and the patient’s safety. So I think those two nurses and you, the Director, don’t have to stay here any longer!”
The Director’s face turned pale.
If the Sang family’s hospital fired him, his career would be over. Which hospital would dare to hire him?
He begged desperately, “Mr. Sang, I’ve been working in this hospital for almost twenty years. Please give me another chance…”
“If I give you a chance, who’s going to give the patient a chance?”
Sang Pengcheng was really angry. “Ju Wei, contact the hospital’s Human Resources Department and fire him immediately. Then, start the recruitment process and appoint a new Director!”
Ju Wei hurriedly bowed in acknowledgment.
The Director was about to plead again when Shen Shaofeng suddenly shouted, “Enough, drop the act!”
There were burn scars on Shen Shaofeng’s face, and he looked a little scary because of his emotional agitation.
He glared at Sang Pengcheng. “Sang Pengcheng, aren’t you taking revenge on me by disclosing the news of my accident to my wife because I leaked the video to the media?”
“President Shen, how can you say that? What did the nurses’ unintentional comments have to do with President Sang? How can you slander others like this?” Ju Wei couldn’t help but speak up to defend Sang Pengcheng.
Shen Shaofeng sneered. “This is the Sang family’s hospital. You have the final say in what the nurses do.”
“I never wanted to see your wife in trouble. I’ve always treated people with sincerity, and I don’t know how to act. So, Shaofeng, I advise you to take back your words!”
Sang Pengcheng’s face was cold as he turned to Ju Wei. “Let’s postpone the firing. We’ll call the police first. It won’t be too late to fire him after the police have dealt with it!”
The Director was utterly stunned. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
Shen Shaofeng was about to say something when the emergency room door suddenly opened.
“Doctor, how’s my wife?” Shen Shaofeng’s voice changed.
“I’m sorry,” the doctor shook his head. “We tried our best.”
A person who had a heart transplant would have a fragile heart that couldn’t be stimulated.
The blow that Mrs. Shen had suffered was undoubtedly fatal. Unfortunately, even though the doctor did his best, there was no way to turn the situation around.
Shen Shaofeng still didn’t believe it until his eyes fell on Mrs. Shen’s face. She laid there on the bed with her eyes closed.
Shen Shaofeng’s face turned ashen, without any color.
He and his wife had been together for nearly 20 years, and their relationship was extremely deep. So he couldn’t accept her death at all.
Shen Shaofeng’s lips trembled as he looked at Shen Hanyu with empty eyes. Tears rolled down his face as he muttered, “Hanyu, I regret having your mother undergo heart transplant surgery…”
She wouldn’t have lost her life if she didn’t undergo surgery.
Even if she had heart disease and was bedridden all year round, at least she was still alive.
Shen Shaofeng couldn’t continue. He grabbed Mrs. Shen’s cold hand and cried in extreme pain.
