Chapter 239 216: 10,000 Degrees of Urgency (Part 2)

Wang Jinwu dragged Xu Chunliang to a secluded place and lowered his voice: "Bro, Sheng Chaohui is not someone you can mess with. He has money and power, and you don't have any evidence. You can't be sure that what Chen Jianxin said is true."Xu Chunliang said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." As long as you want to investigate, there's no shortage of evidence to find.

The surgery lasted eight hours. When Yu Mo, the last one, came out, it was already nine in the morning. She walked out of the operating room, took off her mask, and her face showed exhaustion. She smiled at Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang went up to ask about the condition, and Yu Mo told him that during the surgery, they performed an ultrasound on Zhao Xiaohui. She indeed was pregnant, currently about fifty days along, and they could see the heartbeat. For now, there are no major problems.

Yu Mo did not recommend keeping the child. Zhao Xiaohui has not woken up yet, due to a ruptured liver and spleen, they performed a partial hepatectomy and splenectomy.

She also suffered from chest trauma and a fractured left femur. Even if she regains consciousness quickly, she will face a long recovery process. How can such a physical condition bear the burden of pregnancy? She had undergone an ectopic pregnancy surgery just a few months ago and her body isn't in peak condition.

Of course, Yu Mo did not deny that Zhao Xiaohui's chances of future pregnancy could be very low. If she loses this child, the chance of conceiving again would be minuscule.

Yu Mo couldn't figure out what kind of relationship Xu Chunliang had with Zhao Xiaohui? Why was he so tense about this matter? As a friend, it was not convenient for her to ask.

Xu Chunliang helped send Zhao Xiaohui to the ICU. The surgery and hospitalization costs will be substantial. Before her family arrives, Xu Chunliang went to the hospital's admissions to sign as a guarantor, which is a mandatory procedure for the hospital.

Wang Jinwu stayed with Xu Chunliang the entire time. When Xu Chunliang went to guarantee Zhao Xiaohui, Wang Jinwu took the chance to use a restroom. When he returned, he found that Xu Chunliang was already gone.

Wang Jinwu was worried that Xu Chunliang might cause trouble outside, so he hurriedly called him. Xu Chunliang told him he was going to take care of something and would be back around noon. He asked Wang Jinwu to look after things at the hospital for the time being.

Wang Jinwu felt something was amiss. Remembering last night's events, he quickly advised: "Don't do anything stupid, come back quickly. Some things should wait for the police investigation to be concluded before proceeding."

Xu Chunliang merely said he knew what he was doing and hung up the phone.

Wang Jinwu became anxious. Based on what Chen Jianxin said last night, it seemed that Sheng Chaohui was the culprit responsible for Zhao Xiaohui's pregnancy. Was Xu Chunliang going to settle scores with Sheng Chaohui?

Enheng Pharmaceutical is a star enterprise in Dongzhou, and Sheng Chaohui is also a representative. If Xu Chunliang acted recklessly in his anger, the consequences could be unimaginable.

Wang Jinwu knew he couldn't persuade him, and after some thought, he thought of someone and quickly called Mei Ru Xue.

Now, many people in Hu Shan Town believed Xu Chunliang and Mei Ru Xue were dating. Wang Jinwu also knew that they had a good relationship, and Mei Ru Xue would definitely have more influence than him.

Mei Ru Xue was in a meeting and had her phone on silent. Upon seeing Wang Jinwu's call, she replied with a message, saying she was in a meeting and would get back to him later.

Immediately, Wang Jinwu sent another message, "It's urgent, Xu Chunliang is in trouble!"

Mei Ru Xue's heart instantly tightened, but she quickly thought, what does Xu Chunliang have to do with me? Why are they seeking me? She decided to ignore it, but the image of Xu Chunliang appeared in her mind.

"Comrade Ru Xue, say a few words!" Kong Xiangsheng smiled at her.

Mei Ru Xue snapped back to reality and suddenly stood up: "Sorry, I have an urgent matter."

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Mei Ru Xue hurriedly left the conference room. She almost ran all the way back to her office, closed the door, and called Wang Jinwu back.

Wang Jinwu was already in a panic, like ants on a hot pan. When he saw Mei Ru Xue's call, he answered it immediately: "Hello! Town Mayor Mei, you finally called back."

"What's the matter? I'm in a meeting."

Wang Jinwu said, "It's urgent; that kid Xu Chunliang might cause big trouble."

"Has he ever been peaceful?" Just hearing his name made Mei Ru Xue bristle with anger.

Wang Jinwu said, "Last night, Zhao Xiaohui had a car accident and nearly lost her life."

"Ah!" Mei Ru Xue was a bit surprised, and amidst her worry, she felt slightly uncomfortable; Xu Chunliang was apparently doing it for her.

That Wang Jinwu is really a meddler, why tell me about such things? She took a deep breath and adjusted her mood: "How is she now?"

"She was saved but hasn't woken up; the traffic police said she took banned substances, but she is pregnant as well. Xu Chunliang believes she values the child dearly and wouldn't willingly take drugs. Moreover, after the accident, the only call she made was to Xu Chunliang, asking him to save her child."

Mei Ru Xue felt her heart sour to the point of bursting, Wang Jinwu you big fool, why must you tell me their matters? Do you think I'm not annoyed enough?

Forcing herself to control her emotions, Mei Ru Xue said, "President Wang, you should be seeking help from the hospital right now, not me. Pass a message to Xu Chunliang, if he is a man, he should take responsibility." After saying that she hung up.

Only then did Wang Jinwu realize his words might have led to a misunderstanding, so he quickly called again.

Seeing Wang Jinwu calling again, Mei Ru Xue felt an urge to throw the phone away. The persistent ringing finally compelled her to answer the call.

"Are you done? I'm in a meeting."

"Is the meeting more important or is Xu Chunliang more important?"

Wang Jinwu's shout startled Mei Ru Xue, and she asked herself the same question, finding her past and present answers were completely different.

Wang Jinwu said, "That child is not Xu Chunliang's."

Mei Ru Xue exploded completely: "Wang Jinwu, are you sick? I don't want to hear any rubbish about Xu Chunliang. Listening to these things is nauseating!"

"Town Mayor Mei, don't hang up, please don't. Xu Chunliang has nothing to do with Zhao Xiaohui, you must be mistaken. He regards Zhao Xiaohui as a sister. He likely owes Zhao Xiaohui a favor and had promised her that if anyone bullied her, no matter the cost, he would help her. He is a man of his word. The person responsible for Zhao Xiaohui's pregnancy is likely the head of Enheng, and this person might have also assaulted her before her accident last night. Are you listening?"

There was silence on the other end before Mei Ru Xue softly said, "I'm listening."

Wang Jinwu briefly explained how Xu Chunliang and Zhao Xiaohui knew each other, stating he believed they were surely innocent. Xu Chunliang might not be noble, but he is definitely true to his word. From the way things were, it was likely that Xu Chunliang was off seeking justice for Zhao Xiaohui.

Upon hearing this, Mei Ru Xue also got anxious: "Weren't you by his side? Why didn't you stop him?"

Wang Jinwu said, "I couldn't stop him; he disappeared while I was in the restroom. Even if I was with him, I couldn't stop him. I think he'll listen to you; you should advise him."

Mei Ru Xue said, "I can't persuade him either; you'd better go find him."

Mei Ru Xue hung up and immediately dialed Xu Chunliang's number, realizing she had already memorized it by heart.

She bit her lip. This hateful guy, does he really think he is some kind of savior hero? Nowadays, there's the law for everything, and if there's trouble, go to the police!

Although she felt she didn't want to call Xu Chunliang, her hands acted against the orders of her brain. Perhaps it was her subconscious directing her to dial Xu Chunliang's number. What she didn't expect was that his phone was turned off.

This time, Mei Ru Xue really panicked. Just then, Zhang Yiben knocked and came in: "Town Mayor Mei, there's a Dongjiang Daily interview at ten thirty..."

"Cancel it!"

"What?"

Mei Ru Xue picked up her handbag: "I have an urgent matter, need to head back to Dongzhou."

"But it's already scheduled, the person is the chief reporter from Dongzhou Daily..."

Mei Ru Xue glared at Zhang Yiben: "Go away. Don't schedule any interviews without my permission in the future!"

Zhang Yiben was stunned. This interview was clearly scheduled with her consent.
