Chapter 494 - I Need You (1/2)

Su Qingsang ignored Zhang Yichen’s words. She was directing all her attention towards Huo Jinyao instead.

“Jinyao, let’s go for breakfast. I’m hungry.”

Huo Jinyao had a brief conversation with Old Master Huo and Zhang Yichen. Then, he put an arm around Su Qingsang’s waist and headed towards the dining room together with her.

“Uncle, let’s go for breakfast too,” Zhang Yichen said, as he turned and held Old Master Huo’s arm.

“Sure,” Old Master Huo said without thinking. The two of them followed behind Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang was whispering to Huo Jinyao. The parrots had been saying some funny things the past few days.

She bought the parrot because she thought that the bird would say nice words to Old Master Huo. However, the parrot hadn’t said even one nice word so far. Instead, it turned out to be very good at quarreling with people.

She really wasn’t expecting a bird like that. She felt a little embarrassed about it, but Huo Jinyao found it amusing. It was funny to have such a bird in the house.

Zhang Yichen was holding Old Master Huo’s arm while talking to him. However, his eyes were fixed on Su Qingsang the whole time.

He saw the faint smile she had on her face when she was talking to Huo Jinyao. She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, but the shine in her eyes was so charming.

Zhang Yichen absorbed all the charm that Su Qingsang exhibited unwittingly. As he looked at her, his eyes glowed as if there was a flame leaping in his eyes.

However, the flame in his eyes dimmed very soon.

…

After staying in the family house for three days, Zhang Yichen returned to the army.

Su Qingsang didn’t spend any more time thinking about what had happened between herself and him since she learned who he really was.

As for what happened in that alley, she just considered it an accident and didn’t think much about it.

However, that day, before getting off work, she was very surprised to see Zhang Yichen show up at the door of her office.

She called him ‘Uncle’ when she saw him. Upon hearing that, the other two doctors in the office stopped paying attention to the two of them.

“Can I help you, Uncle?”

The look on Zhang Yichen’s face told Su Qingsang that something was wrong. She picked up her bag and walked out of the office.

“Are you off work?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Come with me.”

While speaking, Zhang Yichen attempted to hold Su Qingsang’s hand. Su Qingsang hurriedly made a step backward and looked at Zhang Yichen with disapproval.

“What’s going on? Uncle?”

“I…” Zhang Yichen looked around nervously. He thought for a moment and said, “can you come with me now? I need your help.”

“Tell me what’s it about first.”

Zhang Yichen’s voice was soft but sounded anxious. “It’s urgent. I need a doctor, now.”

Su Qingsang looked at him from head to toe. At that moment, she discovered some strange stains on Zhang Yichen’s black coat. Those stains weren’t very obvious, but she still recognized them as bloodstain.

“Will I be needing medical tools?” she immediately asked, wearing a serious look.

“Yes,” Zhang Yichen nodded. “Can you grab them quickly?”

“Just a moment.” Su Qingsang didn’t ask further questions. She went to the pharmacy, got some medicines and bandages, then returned to her office and picked up a whole set of scalpels.

She spent less than ten minutes to do all that.

After that, she followed Zhang Yichen out of the hospital gate and got into his car without saying anything.

Zhang Yichen stepped on the accelerator once Su Qingsang got into the car. He drove the car very fast.

The high speed made Su Qingsang feel a little uncomfortable. She didn’t say anything throughout and only looked outside the window to distract herself.

About five minutes later, they reached their destination. Zhang Yichen brought Su Qingsang to an austere looking apartment.

The building was so old that even the exterior walls were mottled.

Looking at the building, Su Qingsang briefly hesitated to enter. However, seeing the serious look on Zhang Yichen’s face, she decided to follow him upstairs. They walked through a door.

She smelled blood the moment she stepped into that apartment.

“Save him, hurry up.”

In the bedroom, an injured man was lying on the bed. At first glance, Su Qingsang recognized him as the man with a crew cut. He was with Zhang Yichen in the alley the last time.

“He’s been shot three times. There is one bullet in the arm, one in the stomach, and one in the thigh.”

“So severe? Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?”

While asking the question, Su Qingsang stepped up and started checking the man’s wounds.

“I can’t.”

Zhang Yichen didn’ t give any further explanation. Su Qingsang gave him a brief glance, then stayed silent. She focused on the man who was almost covered in blood.

The wounds on his arm and thigh didn’t look so bad, but the one in his stomach seemed lethal.

The man was lucky to even be alive after being shot three times and losing so much blood.

“I was thinking of taking out the bullets for him, but they’re too deep and I’m afraid that I might accidentally worsen his injury.”

Some of the man’s external organs had already been injured. Zhang Yichen was worried that he might cause further injury to the man, so he went to ask Su Qingsang for help.

“I’ve dressed his wounds, but we still need to take out the bullet.”
