Chapter 90: Why Is It Her?

“Yanyan, your mother... her condition is now extremely dangerous. Even Dean Zhang Yuanqing has no confidence he can save her,” Shen Wanqian said sorrowfully.

“I heard everything. I believe Mom will be all right. Dad, you have to stay strong too,” Shen Yanyan comforted him.

Nearly ten minutes passed before the operating room doors finally opened again.

The moment they saw Zhang Yuanqing come out, they hurried over. Shen Wanqian asked anxiously, “Dean Zhang, how is it?”

“I’m afraid I’m powerless this time as well. The patient suffered massive bleeding from the heart. We did everything we could to resuscitate her, but in the end... we still could not bring her back. Right now the patient is already on the brink of death; I’m afraid she may pass away very soon,” Zhang Yuanqing said helplessly, shaking his head in disappointment.

Boom!

A thunderclap seemed to explode in Shen Wanqian’s mind, and he sank heavily to the floor.

There was not a trace of light left in his eyes. With a dazed expression, he shook his head and muttered, “No, it won’t be like this. My wife won’t leave me. This isn’t real.”

“Mr. Shen, death cannot be undone. Please accept your grief,” the assistant doctor stepped forward and comforted him.

Suddenly Shen Yanyan rushed to Zhang Yuanqing and, eyes wide with pleading, said, “Dean Zhang, my mom isn’t dead yet, is she? You must still have another way, don’t you?”

“I’m begging you. As long as you can save my mother, even if it costs me my life, I’m willing.”

“Miss Shen, I understand how you feel right now, but your mother truly has no hope left,” Zhang Yuanqing explained again.

“Dean Zhang, I just thought of someone, though I’m not sure whether he can save her,” another assistant doctor beside him suddenly said.

“Who are you talking about?” Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously.

“The Divine Doctor Lin,” the assistant doctor said decisively.

At once, every doctor and nurse present was struck with astonishment.

A glimmer of light flashed through Zhang Yuanqing’s eyes as well. He slapped his forehead and said, “Right, how could I not have thought of him? That Divine Doctor Lin has already saved patients who were on the verge of death before. Maybe he really has a way.”

“Dean Zhang, then what are we waiting for? Hurry and invite the divine doctor,” Shen Yanyan said, hope flooding back into her voice.

“Please wait a moment, Miss Shen. I’ll call him right away, though Dr. Lin is usually very busy. I’m not sure whether I can get him to come.”

Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and called Lin Feng.

“Hello, Dean Zhang. What is it?” Lin Feng answered quickly.

“Mr. Lin, I have a patient here in a very critical condition and urgently need your help. Are you free now? Could you come take a look for us?” Zhang Yuanqing briefly explained the situation to him.

“I see. I’ve just returned to the Su Group Bank. It’ll take me half an hour to get there. First stabilize the patient’s condition,” Lin Feng said, then ended the call.

Zhang Yuanqing’s expression brightened, and he immediately told the Shen family the good news.

“He’s willing to come? That’s wonderful. May heaven bless us—this divine doctor must save my mother,” Shen Yanyan rejoiced, silently praying in her heart.

When Shen Wanqian heard this, his face filled with hope.

One second passed, then another. Shen Wanqian’s wife’s condition grew ever more critical, and everyone inside and outside the operating room became increasingly anxious.

Thump, thump.

It seemed as though everyone could hear one another’s heartbeats. The scene was utterly silent.

At last, just after thirty minutes had passed, a young man’s silhouette appeared at the far end of the corridor.

All eyes in the room turned toward him, and expressions of delight lit up their faces.

Only Shen Yanyan remained frozen in place.

“How is it him?”

She stared at Lin Feng in disbelief, unable to trust her own eyes.

Wasn’t he just in the cafe, negotiating with Su Qingxue and her?

How could he be the divine doctor Dean Zhang had mentioned?

As Lin Feng passed by her, his expression also turned somewhat cold.

“Mr. Lin, you’re finally here. Please come quickly and take a look in the operating room. The patient’s condition is...” Zhang Yuanqing began at once.

“What is the patient to her?” Lin Feng suddenly asked, pointing at Shen Yanyan before Zhang Yuanqing could finish.

“The patient is Miss Shen’s mother,” Zhang Yuanqing replied.

“Then I won’t treat her.”

After saying this coldly, Lin Feng turned and was about to leave.

Everyone present was stunned. What was going on?

Shen Wanqian was also full of surprise. After turning to Zhang Yuanqing to learn some of Lin Feng’s circumstances, he hurried after him and stopped him, saying, “Mr. Lin, please wait.”

“What else do you want?” Lin Feng asked with a frown.

“Mr. Lin, I don’t know where my Shen family has offended you. If we’ve done anything wrong, please say so directly,” Shen Wanqian said earnestly.

“I have no grudge against you. I simply have no intention of saving her family.”

Lin Feng pointed straight at Shen Yanyan.

Shen Yanyan’s eyes immediately faltered. She knew she had wronged Lin Feng. What she had done back in the cafe had indeed gone too far.

Shen Wanqian looked baffled and asked, “Did my daughter offend you somewhere? Please speak plainly. If she made a mistake, I will have her apologize to you.”

“Ha. Apologize?”

Lin Feng let out a cold laugh and said disdainfully, “If an apology could solve everything, then I wouldn’t bother holding it against her.”

“This...”

From Lin Feng’s words, Shen Wanqian seemed to grasp something. He immediately stepped in front of Shen Yanyan and asked sternly, “Yanyan, what exactly did you do to offend Divine Doctor Lin? What did you do to him?”

“Dad, I...” Shen Yanyan lowered her head and stammered, afraid to speak.

But thinking of her mother lying inside the operating room, she had no choice but to tell her father everything truthfully.

When Shen Wanqian heard it, he nearly vomited blood from rage and wanted nothing more than to slap her to death on the spot.

“You... how dare you treat Divine Doctor Lin and his friend like that?”

“Dad, I didn’t know he was Divine Doctor Lin. If I had known earlier, I never would have done such a thing.”

Shen Yanyan regretted it so much she could scarcely breathe, but what use was regret now?

“You...”

Shen Wanqian pointed at her in fury, at a loss for words.

After gathering himself, he hurried back to Lin Feng and apologized with utmost sincerity, “Mr. Lin, this was all due to my failure to discipline her properly before. Please forgive us.”

“You’re not the one at fault. Why are you apologizing to me?” Lin Feng did not accept his apology.

Shen Wanqian came to his senses and pulled Shen Yanyan to Lin Feng’s side, ordering sternly, “Apologize to Mr. Lin at once.”

“Mr. Lin, I’m sorry. What happened today was my fault. Please be magnanimous and do not hold it against someone insignificant like me. I won’t dare again,” Shen Yanyan said with her head bowed.

“Heh. As the head of a bank, with such power and status, you even wanted to swallow up my friend’s bank. I can’t possibly accept a gift like that,” Lin Feng said with a contemptuous sneer.

“Mr. Lin, as long as you’re willing to save my mother, I am willing to cooperate with the Su Group Bank, and I will no longer seek the contract with the Liran Group. Please give me a chance to make up for my mistake,” Shen Yanyan said hurriedly again.
