Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Won’t Survive the Night!Upon hearing that, Ye Xuan understood that his role was merely to act as a shield to keep the annoying flies, or admirers, away from her. Ye Xuan flashed a mischievous smile, "Momo, you’ve been talking here for a while, asking me to pretend to be your boyfriend, hehe! Doesn’t that mean you fancy me and want to hang out?" At this, he adopted a tragic expression and solemnly proclaimed, "After all, is a pretend boyfriend not a boyfriend? A pretend boyfriend should still fulfill boyfriend duties! So, how about we ’roll in the sheets’ after the reunion?" Pfft! Su Yumo felt like spitting blood. She realized that choosing Ye Xuan to be her pretend boyfriend might have been a mistake. This guy was just too shameless and would likely take advantage of her a lot! "Let’s go! Let’s go to the reunion now and then get a room." After saying this, Ye Xuan grabbed Su Yumo’s hand firmly and hastily ran out of the office. ... Meanwhile. In East Sea City, at the First Hospital’s staff ward building, inside the gloomy room 666 where Mr. Jiang was staying, the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Out in the hallway stood many people close to the Jiang Family, as well as numerous former students and officials of Mr. Jiang, all of whom were high-ranking figures in East Sea City! They all wore worried expressions, their brows deeply furrowed, and not a single person spoke, adding to the oppressive atmosphere. If Mr. Jiang truly were to pass away, the impact on them would be too great. Not only would their vitality be severely affected, but the power dynamics in East Sea might shift dramatically. However, those who were most concerned about Mr. Jiang’s well-being were his family members. Inside the patient’s room, the air was thick with gloom. Each person’s face bore a grave expression as they looked toward the elder lying on the hospital bed, each heaving a quiet sigh. The person on the bed was Mr. Jiang. At this moment, Mr. Jiang’s face was gaunt and yellow, resembling a withered tree. His eyes were tightly closed, and his body emitted a strong deathly energy, appearing almost like a decaying piece of wood. The Jiang family members standing by the bed were deeply frowning, seemingly foreseeing the decline of the Jiang Family soon! "Director Wu, is there really no way to cure my father’s illness?" Jiang Jianguo’s face was iron blue, his gaze as sharp as a blade, firmly locking onto Wu Liushou, the hospital director, as he struggled to maintain his composure. Despite being the director, Wu Liushou still felt a chill under Jiang Jianguo’s intimidating stare, as if he were plunged into an icy pit. With a bitter smile, he braced himself and said, "Mayor Jiang, we have tried our best, but Mr. Jiang’s condition... Ah! I’m truly sorry, I’m powerless!" As he spoke, a look of shame flashed across his face, and he bowed deeply to everyone in the room. As a doctor, and especially as the director of the hospital, a leading figure in East Sea City’s medical community who had saved countless lives, it was not for lack of wanting to cure his patients that he felt guilty; rather, it was the limits of his medical skills. Upon hearing this, Jiang Jianguo’s eyes turned cold, his daunting demeanor suddenly becoming more intense and agitated. For a moment, no one in the room dared to breathe! They knew that Jiang Jianguo was genuinely getting impatient and angry. Standing in front of him, Wu Liushou broke out into a cold sweat. Although he was a medical authority in Jianghai Province, facing Mayor Jiang, he still felt somewhat terrified. The oppressive aura of superiority was so strong that even he could barely endure it. Seeing the other person’s cold sweat dripping, Jiang Jianguo took a deep breath, knowing that his father’s worsening illness had nothing to do with anyone else, as birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural parts of life. Even if someone had outstanding medical skills, they couldn’t bring back someone who was about to die! After a moment of silence, Jiang Jianguo looked at the other person and asked calmly, "Director Wu, please tell me in detail, how long can my father still live?" Feeling that the oppressive aura had dissipated, Wu Liushou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "According to Mr. Jiang’s vital signs, he... might not survive the night." He might not survive the night! Wow! With those words, the entire hospital room erupted into chaos, filled with commotion. Every member of the Jiang Family had an extremely unsightly expression, their faces filled with disbelief! Jiang Jianguo’s face instantly darkened. If Mr. Jiang were to pass away, it would be a fatal blow to the Jiang Family. At that time, the enemies of the Jiang Family in the military, political, and business circles would not hesitate to strike them, leading to a continuous decline of the Jiang Family, making it extremely dangerous, even to the point of possible extinction. Although Jiang Jianguo was the mayor, he was only in a corner of East Sea City. Facing the impending crisis, he alone could not support an enormous family system by himself. The atmosphere in the room became extremely oppressive! All the Jiang Family members looked ashen, although they had anticipated this outcome, hearing it suddenly still made it somewhat unacceptable. Jiang Jianguo’s face turned pale. He knew his father could not die, at least not now, otherwise... the Jiang Family would be in great danger! "Director Wu, is there really no way to prolong my father’s life?" Jiang Jianguo asked urgently, willing to try anything if there was even a slight possibility. Wu Liushou shook his head, helplessly explaining, "Mayor Jiang, Mr. Jiang’s condition has completely deteriorated, his organs have all failed and atrophied, we can no longer stop this deterioration! Let alone surgery, even maintaining his bodily functions is doubtful!" At this point, Wu Liushou sighed, "Perhaps, if we could invite my mentor Yao Guangsheng to step in, there might be a glimmer of hope! But this is just my speculation, and besides, my mentor has long since retired and is now residing in Wall Street, and it’s too late to reach him now." Hearing this, the people in the hospital room completely panicked. They were all direct members of the Jiang Family, and once Mr. Jiang passed away, their good days would end! It wasn’t just them, even Jiang Jianguo lost focus for a moment, feeling overwhelmed by a headache as he murmured, "What should I do? Once my father passes away, the Jiang Family will rapidly decline, and I, I will become the eternal sinner of the Jiang Family!" Just as Jiang Jianguo became more and more upset and was about to order everyone not to leak any news of Mr. Jiang’s death and to keep it tightly under wraps, Bi Konghai, who had been standing silently at the side of the hospital room, walked over. "Young Master, don’t panic just yet; the situation isn’t completely beyond repair. We still have one last method." What! Hearing this, Jiang Jianguo immediately raised his head and stared intently at Bi Konghai, "Uncle Bi, what method is there?" Bi Konghai’s eyes flashed with brilliance, his expression a mix of terror, complexity, and hope, but mostly anticipation. "There are three medicine pills and a cup of water!"
