Chapter 305: 305 Tried my best (4th update)

As the evening lights began to glow, the night in Capital City seemed especially peaceful and serene, indistinguishable from any other night.

After deplaning, Mo Zhixuan hurried towards Huagui Park.

"Sir, you’re back." Upon seeing Mo Zhixuan return, Aunt Zhang was momentarily taken aback.

Mo Zhixuan’s face was extremely grim, his features as if veiled by an impenetrable layer of thin ice, "Is Jin at home?"

Aunt Zhang respectfully replied, "Miss left early in the morning and has not yet returned."

Mo Zhixuan pressed his fingers to his temples, a sense of foreboding flooding his being. At this moment, he could no longer sense her presence, as if she had suddenly vanished from existence!

"Did she mention where she was going today?" Mo Zhixuan asked, struggling to contain the raging emotions in his heart.

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment, then added, "Miss mentioned this morning that she had to go to the hospital."

No sooner had she finished her sentence, by the time Aunt Zhang looked up again, the man who had stood before her had vanished into thin air.

As if he had never been there.

Mo Zhixuan rushed to the hospital, only to be told by a nurse that Chu Jin left the hospital at 12 noon.

Where could she be?

Why could he no longer feel even a trace of her presence?

In his desperation, Mo Zhixuan, as though seized by a sudden thought, pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number.

No matter how calm and wise a man may be, faced with such a situation, he would lose his reason.

Mo Zhixuan had never felt as helpless as he did now.

Panic-stricken, agitated, uneasy.

But the only thing that greeted him on the other end of the line was the cold, electronic voice, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not answering. Please try again later."

Mo Zhixuan took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself, and cut the call. He then redialed a different number.

This time, the call was quickly connected, "Get me all of Chu Jin’s whereabouts today, immediately."

Even if he had to turn Capital City upside down, he would find her!

**

At Capital City Military General Hospital, the lights in the emergency room were still on.

Two tall, upright men stood outside the emergency room.

The lights in the emergency room had been on for over six hours now.

Zhang Zijun patted Song Shiqin’s shoulder, offering comfort, "Brother Song, don’t worry, Miss Chu has her own good fortune, she’ll be alright."

Song Shiqin just stood there, gravely composed, immobile as a statue. He had maintained this stance for over six hours, not responding to anything Zhang Zijun said, as if he hadn’t heard at all.

"Brother Song, don’t be like this, sit down and rest for a bit." Song Shiqin had been awake for two whole days and nights for this operation, and now, with this situation on his hands, his nerves had been taut throughout. Zhang Zijun genuinely feared he wouldn’t be able to hold up much longer.

Finally!

Snap—

The operating room lights went off.

Both men nearly held their breath as the ’squeak’ of the operating room door opening was heard. A doctor emerged, dressed in sterile surgical attire.

"Doctor Li, how is Chu Jin?" Song Shiqin quickly regained his composure and hurried over, his voice tense with concern.

Doctor Li removed his mask, sighed, his voice weary and hoarse, "Though the bullet has been removed, the patient is not yet out of danger. She’s gravely injured; the bullet hit her heart directly. Whether she wakes up now depends on her will to live."

Hearing this, Song Shiqin’s face changed, "What are you trying to say, Doctor Li?"

Doctor Li shook his head in regret, "I’ve done all I could."

As a doctor, he had grown used to life and death, so at that moment, aside from regret, his face did not betray much emotion.

Done all he could?

At those words, Song Shiqin’s emotions instantly collapsed, and he blacked out, falling backward.

"Brother Song..." Zhang Zijun reacted swiftly to catch him.

"Song Shiqin!" Just then, a deep, chilling voice resounded in the air. Mo Zhixuan grabbed Song Shiqin by the collar, his gaze bloodthirsty, "What have you done to Jin?"

Zhang Zijun tried to pull Mo Zhixuan away, "Mr. Mo, please calm down. Brother Song is also in a lot of pain right now."

Mo Zhixuan turned to Zhang Zijun, his voice icy as he spat out one word, "Out!"

The force of his presence was overwhelming; even military man Zhang Zijun couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. He felt as if an oppressive force was bearing down on him.

Sweat formed bead after bead on his forehead, and his throat seemed incapable of producing a single word.

"Don’t worry," Song Shiqin looked up at Mo Zhixuan, his dark eyes murky, his expression somber, "She was injured because of me; I will take responsibility for her."

Mo Zhixuan shoved Song Shiqin hard, his deep eyes dark as abysses, "She doesn’t need your responsibility! Just stay away from her from now on!"

Each word, cold as ice, sent chills down the spine.

Just then, a nurse wheeled a patient bed out of the operating room.
