God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 467 - 464: Xiao Tian’s Guilt

When they left, everyone was dejected; they thought this would be an easy task, but they didn’t expect to run into this kind of situation.

However, meeting two officers at the rank of general or above at the same time was still somewhat worthwhile!

Just as this group was heading back, the phone in the hospital director’s office was nearly ringing off the hook!

One high-profile contact after another called in, each specifically requesting a focus on Miss Lin Bingxuan in the VIP ward on the thirteenth floor, to spare no effort in treating her, with assurance of full support if needed!

After the last call hung up, the hospital director collapsed weakly into the chair behind him.

Everything was too surreal; names appearing on everyday news broadcasts were ones he conversed with today?!

Was this a dream?

The director removed the gold-rimmed glasses from his nose, pinched a piece of flesh on his thigh between two fingers, and twisted it sharply, realizing through the distinct pain that all this was indeed real!

After confirming it wasn’t a dream, the director quickly gathered the hospital’s experts for a case discussion meeting.

During the meeting, Lin Bingxuan’s attending doctor detailed her current condition, leading the experts to furrow their brows and engage in tense and heated discussions...

——

After driving everyone away with scolding, Zheng Zhongqi looked kindly at Xiao Tian and said, "Feel free to speak up about any difficulties; I will spare no effort to help wherever this old man can assist!"

Xiao Tian responded with a wry smile, while Zhu Hu seemed to sense Xiao Tian’s thoughts and said to Zheng Zhongqi with ill humor, "If you could help, would he even need to ask? Xiao would have already approached you!"

"I wasn’t talking to you, why are you butting in?" Zheng Zhongqi responded impolitely, "Don’t you even understand basic manners?"

"Sorry!" Zhu Hu sneered, speaking apologetically, "I interrupted!"

"Damn, you shameless old thing..."

Zheng Zhongqi initially smiled, thinking of forgiving Zhu Hu after hearing the apology, but before he could speak, he was outraged by Zhu Hu’s subsequent cheeky remark!

Zhu Hu retorted, "As if you have face; what else can you do apart from spouting some empty platitudes? You’ve reached such an age, yet still carry on so irresponsibly, saying those idiotic things — is there any point?"

Zheng Zhongqi was shocked by Zhu Hu’s barrage of words; was this cunning old thing jumping the gun too expertly?

Weren’t those colorful words just uttered by you?

Who exactly is being so careless?

Zheng Zhongqi grabbed Zhu Hu by the collar, still smiling, and said, "We need to settle a little matter, we’ll be right back!"

With that, the two of them clung to each other’s clothing, heading into the descending elevator amidst curious glances from others in the corridor...

Watching the informal scuffle between the two old men, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but smile wryly. After they left, he once again sank into a state of worry.

Last night, at three in the morning, the urgent ringtone of Yu Ningxue’s phone emerged from her pocket, seeing the young woman’s frowning eyebrows as she reluctantly answered the call with her eyes closed, an anger surged in Xiao Tian’s heart.

Perhaps because of the situation with Lin Bingxuan, Xiao Tian was particularly concerned about his loved one and grabbed the phone, cursing out the detective on the other end.

"Can’t you solve a case without her?" Xiao Tian yelled angrily, "Tell Bai Tao, from today onwards, Yu Ningxue will no longer fall under your jurisdiction!"

Not even five minutes after hanging up, Bai Tao called in, offering explanations and apologies, stating his unawareness of the events and promising such incidents would not happen again!

Yu Ningxue had already been woken up by the two phone calls. Although touched by Xiao Tian’s actions, she felt it wasn’t good and decided to go to the police station.

"I told them to notify me if there was progress!" Yu Ningxue explained, "I’d better go!"

Seeing Yu Ningxue’s insistence, Xiao Tian relented, "Alright then! I’ll take you there!"

Yu Ningxue glanced at Lin Bingxuan lying quietly on the hospital bed and said considerately, "You should stay here and look after Bingxuan; I can go by myself!"

With that, and not waiting for Xiao Tian to argue, she flashed a sweet smile before turning to walk out of the ward.

Until Zhu Hu, Zheng Zhongqi, and the others arrived the next morning, Xiao Tian had not slept for a day and night!

Back at Lin Bingxuan’s side, checking her pulse carefully and confirming no changes in her condition, Xiao Tian sighed, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Lin Bingxuan’s unchanged condition means temporary safety, but she wouldn’t awaken and progress favorably!

Just as he was troubled over what to do next, a call from Le Yaoyao came in.

"Yaoyao!"

Xiao Tian’s slightly weary voice surprised the young girl, "Uncle, has something happened?"

Looking at Lin Bingxuan’s pale yet perfect face, Xiao Tian replied bitterly, "Nothing, I just returned to Shanghai last night and am a bit tired from not sleeping."

"You’re back!" Le Yaoyao said joyfully, then puzzled, "Why aren’t you sleeping then?"

"I was just about to sleep when your call came in!" Xiao Tian had to carry on with his little white lie.

When Lin Bingxuan was not around in Lu Province, Xiao Tian didn’t feel much while conversing with Le Yaoyao, but now with her by his side, even merely talking with Le Yaoyao filled him with guilt!

However, now was not the time to confess to the young girl; letting her know would only add another worried person and serve no purpose!

"Then in a couple of days, I’ll come and visit you and Aunt?" Le Yaoyao said eagerly, "It’s been so long since I last saw Aunt, and I miss her!"

"Well... alright!" Xiao Tian could only agree with the young girl, thinking it would be fine to delay it for a while, as she can’t be kept in the dark forever!

Xiao Tian just hoped the girl could find out later, preferably after he managed to awaken Lin Bingxuan; that would be the best outcome!

"Just let me know before you come!" Xiao Tian chuckled lightly, pretending to be relaxed, "We can prepare to welcome you."

"What’s there to welcome?" Le Yaoyao said shyly, dangling her little feet while sitting on the windowsill.

"That’s not possible!" Xiao Tian replied quickly, "You’re President Le now, surely things can’t be the same as before! Otherwise, why would so many aspire to be presidents?!"

"Alright then!" Le Yaoyao reluctantly agreed, though feeling slightly bitter inside; her presidency could be considered a complete failure!

"Alright, I’ll go to sleep now!" With the assurance that Le Yaoyao would inform him before arriving, Xiao Tian prepared to end the call, "Call me if anything comes up, bye!"

"Wait!"

Hearing Xiao Tian mention going to sleep, Le Yaoyao hesitantly asked, "Are you with Aunt right now?"
