Best Young Master

30: Chapter 028 [Sentenced to Death?] 30: Chapter 028 [Sentenced to Death?] The night was like ink, and the evening breeze brought a rare hint of coolness to the scorching summer of Hanghu.

At Hanghu Airport, Su Yuxin and her sister Su Liuli stood facing the evening wind, not far from a parking apron, waiting for the plane carrying Su Hongyuan to glide in.

“Grandpa really should turn on his phone after the plane has landed!” After unsuccessfully trying to call Su Hongyuan for the Nth time, Su Liuli couldn’t help but complain.

The complaint was because she was eager to inform Su Hongyuan about Ye Fan’s accident—even though she had already pegged Ye Fan as a hooligan and had a bad impression of him, she was clear that if something happened to Ye Fan, Su Yuxin’s treatment would not be able to continue.

Unlike Su Liuli, Su Yuxin’s concern for Ye Fan was not because of her illness.

Her worry was pure and simple.

That worry was greater than Su Liuli’s, but she did not show it on her face.

A minute later, as Su Yuxin and Su Liuli waited, the plane slowly taxied to the gate under the night sky.

The plane came to a stop, and the cabin door opened.

Su Hongyuan, supported by Uncle Fu, slowly descended the steps.

“Grandpa, over here!” Su Liuli waved her hand the moment she saw Su Hongyuan.

Hmm?

Seeing this, Su Hongyuan felt puzzled, wondering why Su Yuxin and Su Liuli had come to the airport to pick him up so late, and even directly to the runway.

With this curiosity, Su Hongyuan quickened his pace after getting off the plane.

“Grandpa, it’s terrible, Ye Fan has gotten into trouble!”

As soon as Su Hongyuan approached, Su Liuli and Su Yuxin rushed over to meet him.

Without waiting for Su Hongyuan to stop, Su Liuli could not hold back and revealed the mystery.

“What happened to Doctor Ye?” Su Hongyuan was startled without warning.

“Grandpa, it’s like this…”

This time, before Su Liuli could speak, Su Yuxin quickly and succinctly informed Su Hongyuan of what had happened, then with a hint of worry, said, “Grandpa, it’s been quite some time since the incident, you should make a phone call to save him now.”

“Alright.”

After hearing Su Yuxin’s account, Su Hongyuan too was full of concern, but…

unlike Su Yuxin, he wasn’t worried that Ye Fan, with Chu Ji as his backer, could be killed by the Gou Family through underhanded means; rather, he feared the Su Family hadn’t done anything about the situation and would incur Chu Ji’s wrath!

A minute later, observing that Su Hongyuan had finished his call with one of the police high-ups, Su Liuli once again spoke up, asking, “Grandpa, is that guy alright?”

“According to the police, he fought with an officer and escaped ten minutes ago!” Su Hongyuan said in a complicated tone.

“Ah—”

Startled by Su Hongyuan’s words, both the quick-tempered Su Liuli and the calm and composed Su Yuxin were shocked by this sudden news.

However, Su Yuxin quickly recovered from her surprise, her face filled with worry, “Grandpa, you must save him!”

“Yuxin, not only did he injure a police officer, but this matter may also cause a major commotion among the police in Hanghu and throughout Jiangnan.

Even if I want to save him, my hands are tied.”

With a sigh, Su Hongyuan couldn’t help but express his concern, “If this becomes public and there’s a lot of media pressure, even Chu Ji might not step forward to save him!”

“Why?” Su Liuli asked in confusion, “Isn’t that guy in a good relationship with Sister Chu Ji?”

“One is a doctor, and the other is known as the Demon Queen across Beijing and all of Huaxia; how good can their relationship be?”

With a shrewd look, Su Hongyuan said, “In my opinion, the reason Ye Fan knows Chu Ji is most likely because he treated someone close to her or Chu Ji herself; Chu Ji owes Ye Fan a favor.

But you have to realize, in this world, every favor has its value.

The likelihood that Chu Ji would endure huge media pressure to save Ye Fan just to repay a favor is not great.”

Upon hearing this, the concern on Su Yuxin’s face became even more evident.

She knew what Su Hongyuan said was true—the harsh realities of the workplace had long taught her the coldness of the world!

“It’s all Su Feiyu’s damn fault!”

Seeing that Ye Fan would most likely be in trouble, Su Liuli couldn’t help but think of Su Feiyu, the instigator of this mess.

Su Hongyuan’s expression changed slightly: “Is he involved in this?”

“It’s not just involvement; he is the one behind the scenes.”

Although Su Liuli had no evidence to prove that Su Feiyu was behind Gou Wei’s deliberate car strike on Ye Fan, her understanding of Su Feiyu was enough to make that judgment.

“What exactly happened?”

Su Hongyuan’s expression became grave.

He was well aware of how tricky this situation was and naturally did not want Su Feiyu to be implicated.

Seeing Su Hongyuan’s inquiry, Su Liuli was about to tell him her speculative and improved version of events.

However, before she could speak, Su Yuxin preempted her, saying, “Grandpa, to save time earlier, I didn’t go into details, but here’s what happened…”

“This scourge!”

Upon hearing the details of the incident, Su Hongyuan trembled with anger and, without further delay, promptly took out his phone and dialed Su Feiyu’s number.

“Grandpa.”

At that moment, Su Feiyu had already arrived at the hospital, waiting for the surgical outcome with Gou Wei’s parents, and upon noticing the call from Su Hongyuan, his expression turned extremely grim out of guilt.

Nevertheless, he knew that what was destined to happen would happen, and some things were unavoidable.

“Where are you?”

“Grandpa, I’m at Honghe Hospital.”

“Did you secretly instruct Gou Wei to run over Doctor Ye with a car?”

“No…

I didn’t.”

Out of fear that Su Hongyuan would blame him or even invoke family punishment, Su Feiyu subconsciously denied any involvement.

Su Hongyuan was somewhat doubtful, “Are you sure?”

“Grandfather, I really didn’t.”

Having already denied it, Su Feiyu had no choice but to stick to his story.

In his view, although Gou Wei was seriously injured, his life was not in grave danger, and he could recover.

The main culprit, Ye Fan, was likely to never get out in this lifetime.

Given this situation, as long as he communicated privately with Gou Wei, the truth could stay hidden.

“If I find out you’re involved in this matter, I’ll break your damn legs!” Su Hongyuan said sternly, “Get back home immediately!”

“Yes…”

As soon as Su Feiyu responded, he realized that Su Hongyuan on the other end of the phone had already hung up.

He let out a long sigh of relief, and a smug smile inevitably appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Although things hadn’t gone according to his original plan, by now, his goals had been achieved— Ye Fan’s tragedy was certain, and Su Yuxin was set to follow in his misfortune!

Taking into account Gou Wei’s parents’ feelings, Su Feiyu adjusted his emotions, feigned a worried expression, and then headed towards the operating room.

“May I ask who is a family member of Gou Wei?”

Before Su Feiyu reached the entrance of the operating room, the door opened and a sweat-soaked doctor emerged, asking around.

“How is my son?”

Seeing the doctor appear, Gou Zhifeng and his wife immediately went up to him.

“The patient has comminuted fractures of the jawbone and knee, where the jawbone is slightly salvageable due to less severe fragmentation, but the knee is beyond recovery,” said the doctor as he wiped the sweat from his brow, each word weighted with gravity.

“That is to say, the patient only has the option of amputation and fitting a prosthetic, or else he will spend the future in a wheelchair.”

“What… what?”

Shocked by the doctor’s words, Gou Wei’s mother, Wang Guihua, trembled all over.

She then, as if severely provoked, grabbed the doctor by the collar and shouted shrilly, “You’re talking nonsense!

How can my son spend his life in a wheelchair?

Your medical skills must be poor!

We’re transferring hospitals immediately!”

“You… don’t get agitated.”

Seeing Wang Guihua acting as if crazed, the doctor struggled to free himself while saying, “Your son’s knee is completely shattered.

With the current medical standards, no one can help, apart from amputation and fitting a prosthetic…”

“Slap!”

With a crisp sound, the doctor’s words abruptly stopped, and the infuriated Wang Guihua gave the doctor a slap across the face.

“You… how could you hit someone?”

Feeling the burning pain on his face, the doctor was very angry but held back from retaliating since he saw Gou Zhifeng and his driver standing by.

“Hit you?

Let me tell you, if my son’s treatment is delayed because of your incompetence, I’ll smash this lousy hospital!” Wang Guihua pointed at the doctor, spitting as she cursed, then turned to Gou Zhifeng, “This hospital’s medical standards are too poor, we must transfer Wei immediately!”

“Nonsense, our hospital is a top-tier, first-class facility, and it has the best orthopedics department in Jiangnan!” The attending doctor’s assistant saw Wang Guihua not only hitting someone but also insulting his teacher and the whole hospital, and he responded angrily.

“I’ll slap you to death!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Guihua grew even angrier and lunged at the young doctor as if to strike another slap.

“Stop her!”

Witnessing this, Gou Zhifeng, with a grim expression, said to his driver.

Without a word, the driver swiftly stepped forward to restrain Wang Guihua.

Observing this scene, Su Feiyu thought for a moment and, without saying goodbye to Gou Zhifeng and his wife, slipped away quietly—if Gou Wei’s leg truly could not be saved, then Gou Wei would surely point out that he had been behind it all.

When that happened, even if Gou Zhifeng couldn’t take his anger out on him, it would still be difficult for him to face.

After Wang Guihua had stopped her outburst, Gou Zhifeng instructed his driver to accompany her as she handled the transfer procedures, while he himself went to an empty security corridor and, with a gloomy expression, dialed Liu Baohua’s phone number.

“Boss Gou, your son managed to offend Jianghu people of all things, isn’t this asking for trouble?” As the call connected, before Gou Zhifeng could speak, Liu Baohua started complaining unhappily.

Jianghu People?

These four words, like some kind of curse, made Gou Zhifeng stiffen on the spot.

As a member of Hanghu’s upper society, Gou Zhifeng naturally knew what kind of people Jianghu People were.

More importantly, if Ye Fan was indeed a Jianghu person, as Liu Baohua had said, then the doctor’s words were no longer an exaggeration!

“Director Liu, I am truly sorry, I didn’t expect my good-for-nothing son to provoke such people.”

After a brief pause, Gou Zhifeng finally spoke.

Originally, after learning that his son would be confined to a wheelchair for life, he had planned to change his mind and not just settle for Ye Fan’s limbs but demand Ye Fan’s head.

But upon learning that Ye Fan was a Jianghu person, he knew that this was not something that Director Liu could handle.

“Old Gou, there’s no need to worry, though that kid is not easy to mess with, he just injured one of my men and even seized his gun.

I’ve reported the matter, and I’m sure the authorities will soon send someone to take him down!” Liu Baohua guessed Gou Zhifeng’s intentions without him saying a word, given his years of experience in the bureaucracy.

“Huh~”

Relieved by Liu Baohua’s words, Gou Zhifeng heaved a sigh of relief.

In his eyes, if the authorities took action, the person who injured his son was as good as sentenced to death!
