Chapter 2331: Where is the culprit?Chapter 2331: Where is the culprit?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
How could he hang on when his dear brother was in such a dangerous condition, though?! The middle-aged man was panicking so badly that tears started to roll down his eyes!
The crippled man was unable to do anything except to watch his brother from afar, clueless on whether the latter was dead or alive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, the police came, but the hospital said that the ambulance had an accident en route.
Bad luck came in threes, indeed.
Yun Yehou called his wife, then the latter rushed down with their elder daughter. After getting some help, the middle-aged woman finally managed to get Yun Yecheng to a nearby first-aid center. The man’s life was further put on the line when the ambulance failed to show up!
The younger brother took a look at his brother’s mangled face and fainted from the horrible sight again. The latter’s face had been burned beyond recognition!
After he came around, his wife accompanied him to the hospital.
Actually, his wife did not exaggerate the grave danger that Yun Yecheng was in. The medical team had to perform resuscitation twice and put the man on the list of critical patients thrice. Twice, the surgeon had emerged from the operating room to warn them of the worst that might come.
By then, the crippled man was completely wasted after a fretful night of constant fear and worries.
Fifty percent of the man’s total body surface area, mostly on the face, head, neck and shoulders, had been burned. He was in an unstable condition and could not be declared out of danger yet. The worst was not his disfigurement, though. Yun Yecheng had ingested and breathed in the acid. The toxic chemical might damage the windpipe and lungs due to the inhalation, while the ingestion could harm his throat.
Even though the surgeon had done a tracheotomy on him, and he was now getting steady oxygen supply from a mechanical ventilator, the probability of the man’s liver and kidney functions failing remained very high. All in all, whether the man could survive this dire ordeal depended on his fate.
Even if he did manage to pull through all these, however, he would still have to live in great suffering for the rest of his life.
“Who did this?!” A distraught Yun Shishi gazed with bloodshot eyes at the light fixture on top of the operating room’s door. “Who did this to him?! Is there a suspect? Has the culprit been caught?”
Her uncle shook his head in resignation and choked, “N-No… Not yet…”
“As this happened inside the neighborhood, we should be able to catch the culprit through the surveillance cameras, shouldn’t we?!” The woman had gotten agitated by then. “Father doesn’t have any enemies in the first place, so who could be so cruel to do such a thing to him?”
“H-He was already in such a state when I found him! Up to now, I… I still haven’t received any updates from the police! I heard that they brought a few witnesses back to the precinct to take in their statements, but I couldn’t get anything out of the authority when I called them! Those who discovered your father said that he was already injured when they found him prone on the ground. They didn’t see anyone next to him!”
Gong Jie frowned when he heard that, while the twins looked equally solemn and worried. There was a looming fear that the old man would not pull through this crisis.
Xiang Yu muttered on one side, “The culprit probably escaped! It’s obvious that the person was out to harm him, so they of course wouldn’t stay around on scene after that!”
Yun Shishi clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth in utmost anger. “D*mn! D*mn!” She stooped helplessly, looking crestfallen and heartbroken.
Her uncle, who was affected by her despondency, tried to console her. “Shishi, don’t panic. Let’s wait for the doctor to update us on his condition! This is the only thing we can do now.”
“Yes, you’re right. Worry isn’t going to help for now. Let’s just wait for the outcome of the operation!”
