Shen Li watched Gu Nianbin fall to the ground in shock with his mouth wide open. Only after two seconds did he immediately ran over to look at Gu Nianbin, as if he had just awakened from a dream. “President Gu, how are you? Gu Nianbin, wake up, Gu Nianbin…”

The people gradually gathered to watch what happened and started to discuss. Someone said, “Call 120 quickly.”

“Is he dead?” Another one asked.

“Does he fall ill?”

“They were fighting, right? They seemed to be fighting a moment ago.”

“Then we should call 110.”

Shen Li felt anxious as he heard these noisy voices. He touched Gu Nianbin’s face. It was cold. Then he touched his hand. It was also cold. Shen Li was shocked and touched Gu Nianbin’s neck. Finally, he got a warm feeling there. The pulse was beating, but it felt weak.

At this time, Shao Boqing also arrived. Seeing a group of people gathering there, he knew that something bad happened. He quickly put the crowd aside and went in. He saw Gu Nianbin lying on the ground, and that Shen Li was squatting aside and pinching his philtrum.

Shao Boqing roared, “Did you hit him?”

“Why would I hit him? Get a car immediately and let us send him to the hospital. I suspect that he was intoxicated.”

“Intoxicated?” Shao Boqing was shocked. “How did he get intoxicated? What did he get?”

“By alcohol. Hurry up. It will be too late if his brain is short of oxygen and he thus becomes a vegetable.” Shen Li roared at him, and then shouted at the crowd, “Get out of the way, get out of the way and let him get some fresh air!”

The people around heeded what he said and stood a little further away immediately.

Shao Boqing called for a taxi. As the car stopped by the roadside, Shen Li carried Gu Nianbin on the back and put him in it. Then the car sped forward. Knowing that it was about saving a life, the driver did not say anything and rushed through the red lights all the way.

Shao Boqing gave the driver a thumbs-up. “Call me when you pay the fine.” As he spoke, he took out a name card and threw it on the table in the front.

The driver chuckled. “Saving people is more important.”

Soon, they arrived at the hospital. The car drove directly to the outside of the emergency room. Shao Boqing had made a phone call on the way. So the director and professors of the hospital rushed to the hospital and waited. As soon as the car door opened, they quickly took Gu Nianbin to the cart and brought him into the emergency room.

For all the doctors and nurses in Huafu Hospital, the boss was sent to the hospital in such urgent conditions that all of them were extremely nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

As soon as they entered the emergency room, the nurses hurriedly plugged in oxygen tubes for Gu Nianbin and carried out the electrocardiogram monitoring. The attending doctor was Professor Chen, the best doctor in the hospital. He had a rich experience. He lifted up Gu Nianbin’s eyelids to examine them, and glanced at the cardiac pressure and pulse rate value. He said, “Keep the blood oxygen saturation above 95%. Prepare 0.5g Caffeine Sodium Benzoate, and inject it with vein infusion every two hours; 9 milliliters of Lobeline, intramuscular injection. Pay close attention to the patient’s heart blood, electrocardiogram, pulse, and respiratory rate.”

Following his instructions, the doctors and nurses got busy, but they performed their jobs in good order. Only crisp sound could be heard occasionally as devices were thrown on the plate.

The nurse watching the electrocardiogram monitoring device reported the value every five minutes. “Heart rate at 60, blood pressure at 88, blood oxygen saturation at 95, breathing at 15, and body temperature at 36.5.”

The nurse beside Gu Nianbin also reported, “The patient needs to vomit.”

Professor Chen said, “Let him lean to one side and vomit. Then he will feel better.”

Gu Nianbin vomited uncontrollably as if he wanted to vomit out all his internal organs. Professor Chen said, “Prepare 10 milliliters of Metoclopramide, intramuscular injection.”

After the injection, Gu Nianbin quieted down. From the beginning to the end, he was in a coma. He did not wake up even when he vomited. It was just an instinctive reaction of his body.

The nurse reported again, “Heart rate at 45, blood pressure at 60, blood oxygen saturation at 90, breathing at 10, body temperature at 35.”

One doctor’s expression changed. “Professor Chen, he has already vomited. Why does he still…”

Professor Chen did not panic in the face of danger, “20 milliliters of Ritalin, intramuscular injection. After five minutes, 0.375g Coraminum, intramuscular injection.”

After a few minutes, Gu Nianbin’s vital signs finally returned to normal. But he was still unconscious. The doctor was a little worried. “Professor Chen, the patient is supposed to have a little consciousness. Why…”

“Don’t worry.” Professor Chen looked at Gu Nianbin’s pale face and said, “Wait a little longer. If the body condition is normal after half an hour, send him to the ward.”

The doctor nodded and everyone sat aside to have a rest, only nurses were still watching him by the bedside.

An hour later, the door of the emergency room finally opened. Shao Boqing, Shen Li, the director, and the leaders of the hospital all walked to the door. “How is it?”

“No danger about his life,” Professor Chen said, “But he is still unconscious.”

Shao Boqing asked, “When will he wake up?”

Professor Chen shook his head. “This depends on himself. The lesion in his body has been under control. But we can’t control his mind, so…”

Shao Boqing surely understood Professor Chen’s words and nodded. “Thank you for your hard work, Professor Chen.”

Gu Nianbin was sent to the intensive care unit. Shao Boqing sent the professors and the director away, leaving only him and Shen Li.

The two of them sat quietly on the sofa by the window. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Shao Boqing sighed, “This… I don’t even know what to do.”

Shen Li asked, “Aren’t you going to inform his family?”

“It’s too late today, leave it to tomorrow.” Shao Boqing rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. “How am I going to fight with Jiang Kaiwei if he continues to be unconscious in the following days? It’s really stressful. Don’t let Jiang Kaiwei hear the news. Otherwise, if he takes advantage of Gu Nianbin’s illness to take down the Gu Group in one fell swoop, I will be condemned forever.”

“Don’t be so pessimistic,” Shen Li patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I will block the news for you. Moreover, Jiang Kaiwei is not a person who takes advantage of others when they are in danger.”

Shao Boqing glared at him. “Even now, you are still speaking up for him!”

“I will not say it again.” Shen Li raised his hand and surrendered. “Don’t be so loud. We will disturb him.”

Shao Boqing snorted. “He couldn’t even hear the thunder. Didn’t you hear what Professor Chen said? He couldn’t do anything about Gu Nianbin’s mental illness. Gu Nianbin had to think it through.” Shao Boqing thought for a moment and said, “No, I have to stay here tonight. Who knows what trouble he will make when he wakes up? You keep watch first, I’ll go out and make a call to my wife so that she won’t worry.”

Shen Li smiled. “Are you afraid that she will let her imagination run wild?”

Shao Boqing glanced at him. “I’m already a model husband now. Why is she going to do that?” As he spoke, he quickly walked out.

As soon as the call was connected, before Shao Boqing could say anything, Nina shouted angrily on the phone, “What’s wrong with you? What time is it? Did you forget the rule? Don’t come back if you dare!”

After they married, Nina set a rule that Shao Boqing must come back before 12 o’clock in the evening. After this rule was set, Shao Boqing never stepped on the bottom line once. Nina was quite pleased. She did not expect that Shao Boqing would break the rule tonight. She was so angry. But she restrained herself and did not take the initiative to call him. She wanted to see how Shao Boqing would justify himself.

Shao Boqing was scared when he heard her shouting. She would scare his son. He quickly told her everything in detail. Nina never expected that Du Xiaoxian and Gu Nianbin would break up. She still didn’t believe it. “You didn’t lie to me, right?”

“Oh my goodness, is there a need for me to lie to you?” Shao Boqing did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Gu Nianbin is currently lying in the hospital. If you don’t believe me, you can come over and take a look. Shen Li is also here. Do you want me to send you a video of him?”

“Alright, you can stay there. Call me if you need anything.” Nina knew that no matter how mischievous Shao Boqing was, he would never use Gu Nianbin’s health as an excuse. She just didn’t believe that Du Xiaoxian would break up with Gu Nianbin.

Shao Boqing hung up the phone and could not help but sigh. It was not easy to get married to the woman he loved, but he lost his freedom. However, compared to Gu Nianbin, he was already very happy.

Shen Li also left after staying in the hospital for two hours. Shao Boqing sent him to the door and watched him walk away before closing the door. Then, Shao Boqing turned around and walked to Gu Nianbin’s bed.

Under the orange light, Gu Nianbin’s face did not look that pale. His eye sockets were sunken and pale. His lips were dark red and a bit dry. His cheeks were sunken and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Shao Boqing stretched out his hand and gently smoothened the space between Gu Nianbin’s eyebrows. He said in a low voice, “Nianbin, forget everything from the past. From now on, cheer up. The Gu Group is still waiting for you to go back and preside over the overall situation. The employees are all looking forward to you reviving your glory and leading them to fight a hard battle. I believe that you can definitely do it!”

Gu Nianbin was unconscious and gave no response. Shao Boqing also knew that he couldn’t hear it. Shao Boqing sighed, leaned over to help him tuck the quilt, walked to the door to tell the nurse a few words, and then went to sleep on the small bed outside. No matter what, Shao Boqing still had to fight for Gu Nianbin with Jiang Kaiwei tomorrow, so he had to conserve strength.

He didn’t sleep well in the hospital. The nurse came in every hour to check on Gu Nianbin. Inevitably, she would make some noise. Shao Boqing was in light sleep and finally it was dawn. Shao Boqing got up to see Gu Nianbin, who was still the same as last night. His breathing was steady and his vital signs were normal. He just didn’t wake up.

It was six o’clock and was still early. So Shao Boqing went to bed again. He fell into a deep sleep this time. At eight o’clock, several doctors came to check Gu Nianbin. Their chattering in the ward actually did not wake Shao Boqing up.

At half past eight, Zhou Ting arrived. It turned out that Nina had called her early in the morning to ask about Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian. Then, Nina told Zhou Ting that Gu Nianbin had been in the hospital. Hearing this, Zhou Ting also became anxious and rushed over. She even brought breakfast for Shao Boqing and Gu Nianbin on the way.

As soon as she entered the ward, she saw Gu Nianbin lying on the hospital bed, unconscious. He looked so haggard that he seemed to have changed into a different person. Zhou Ting was saddened and almost cried out. She put the things down and first went to the doctor to learn the situation. When she came back and thought it was almost time, she called Shao Boqing up again.

Shao Boqing thought it was the nurse calling him, so he asked without even opening his eyes, “Is President Gu awake?”

“Not yet.” Zhou Ting’s voice was hoarse as if she had caught a cold. When Shao Boqing heard her voice, he knew she was not the nurse. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhou Ting. He asked, “Why are you here?”

“Nina called and told me what happened.” Zhou Ting complained, “Mr. Shao, you should have informed me last night.”

“It was too late yesterday and thus I didn’t inform anyone.” Shao Boqing put on his shoes and got off the bed, saying, “You came at the right time. I have to go back to the company to keep an eye on the battle.”

Zhou Ting said, “The stock market hasn’t started trading yet. Don’t worry. Have breakfast before leaving. I bought you some soup dumplings.”

“Great, you are still the most sensible one.” Shao Boqing finally smiled and ran to the bathroom to wash up. He came out in high spirits and took the bag of soup dumplings, saying, “Zhou Ting, I’m leaving first. Call me if you need anything.”

Zhou Ting asked, “Should we inform the boss’s family?”

Shao Boqing pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s wait and see in the afternoon.”
