Chapter 1779: Emergency (5)

When they left Su Chen's house, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Qi Lei drove Dongfang Liuyun straight back to the Dongfang old mansion.

Along the way, the couple did not say much. They just rushed to the Dongfang old mansion.

"Are you sure you don't want me to go in with you? You should know what I'm worried about."

Qi Lei slowed down slightly. He glanced at Dongfang Liuyun and asked.

"I can't avoid trouble, you'd be a fool to come up with me. I'll be fine, you don't have to be a hero to save the damsel in distress. If I can't deal with it now, then I might as well just admit defeat. As for you, just stand behind me and support me. The two of us will pursue the best solution."

Dongfang Liuyun smiled and replied calmly.

"What is the best solution?"

Qi Lei retracted his gaze and asked.

"It means that you accept my suggestion. I will think of a way to make our lives easier. We'll avoid trouble that we can avoid as much as possible."

"The Jin family has always wanted to do a project development in the east of the city. You should have heard of this."

Qi Lei thought for a moment and suddenly brought up this matter.

When she heard this, Dongfang Liuyun paused for a moment before nodding. "You seemed to have mentioned this before. Did the Jin family look for you?"

"Jin Sheng came to look for Wang Chun before. Mother bought two pieces of land in the east of the city. That's their target." Qi Lei said simply.

"That project is so huge. If the Jin family wants to take it all alone, it won't be easy. They don't have the final say in Dongfang Group, so if you can't pass it, they'll think of other ways."

"The South River Project proposal has been confirmed. In two days, Wang Chun will bring it over to your side to sign the contract. Father has spoken to Vice President Zhang before, you just have to tell your people when the time comes."

"Yes, the matter between Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi has already been settled. Father has already made arrangements before he left. I think they won't make any moves."

"Will they make things difficult for you?"

Qi Lei thought for a moment and finally asked worriedly.

"It's nothing but an old saying. I didn't have the confidence before, but now..."

Dongfang Liuyun waved her hand with the ring on it. "I do."

"Why do I keep thinking you're acting recklessly because you've been beaten down so many times before."

Qi Lei gave her a sideways glance, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"You said it yourself. It's not my fault that you've reduced your spirit."

"You..."

Qi Lei wanted to say something, but his phone suddenly rang. He quickly looked away and saw the word 'Wang Chun' appear on the screen.

Qi Lei frowned. He slowed down the car and picked up the phone

"It's me."

A brief voice sounded. There seemed to be a soft voice coming from the other end. Wang Chun's voice was also heard very quickly.

"Second Master, something bad has happened. Hurry and come to the hospital. President Qi suddenly had an emergency. The hospital is treating him. They've already issued a critical notice."

Wang Chun's anxious tone was filled with worry. Qi Lei naturally heard it clearly.

"What's going on? How could he suddenly be in critical condition?"

Following the sound of the emergency brake, Qi Lei's brows furrowed.

Dongfang Liuyun immediately turned to look. She instantly saw Qi Lei's expression—

Needless to say, she could guess what had happened to Qi Qiming at the hospital.

"The situation is still unclear. He's still in the operating theater. It seems like he suddenly couldn't breathe. The doctors are already treating him. The situation isn't good. Second Master, you and Missus should come over."

After Wang Chun said that, Qi Lei's eyes darkened. The car had already stopped by the roadside.

"I got it. I'll rush over. Wait for me there."

Qi Lei said that before hanging up.

"What's wrong? Did something happen at the hospital?"

Seeing him put away his phone, Dongfang Liuyun asked softly.

Qi Lei took a deep breath. He could not help but raise his hand to massage the space between his brows. After calming down, he turned to look at her, "Something happened. Old man Qi suddenly had an emergency and was sent to the operating room. The hospital even issued a critical notice. We're almost at the Dongfang Residence. I'll send you there first. I won't go in with you, okay?"

Qi Lei's tone was apologetic.

Hearing this, Dongfang Liuyun's gaze froze for a moment. "How did this happen?"

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Liuyun's gaze flickered. After a moment of silence, she said, "Then let's turn around in front. We'll go to the hospital immediately."

When Dongfang Liuyun said this, Qi Lei was immediately stunned. He silently turned to look at her and did not say anything.

Seeing that he did not move, Dongfang Liuyun frowned slightly. "I'm talking to you, what are you thinking about?"

"Forget it. I'll send you over first then go to the hospital."

Qi Lei took a deep breath. Just as he was about to start the car, Dongfang Liuyun reached out to stop him—

"I'm not going. I'll just send over a gift later on, they won't miss me. Come over, I'll drive."

Seeing that he was not in great condition, Dongfang Liuyun was naturally worried.

Qi Lei glanced at her and wanted to say something, but Dongfang Liuyun had already reached out to open the car door and got out of the car. Before Qi Lei could react, he had already walked over and gently closed the car window.

Qi Lei paused until Dongfang Liuyun opened the car door. Then, he slowly moved to the passenger seat.

Dongfang Liuyun quickly got into the car. She quickly fastened the seatbelt for him then for herself before starting the car.

The car sped forward like the wind. At the intersection in front, it quickly turned around and headed straight for the hospital.

Dongfang Liuyun's driving skills were not bad, and she drove very quickly.

At this moment, they did not coincide with after work hours, so there was no traffic jam. The road was smooth and unobstructed.

The place where they turned around was still quite far from the hospital. It would take them at least an hour to drive.

As the car sped along, Dongfang Liuyun was focused on driving. Qi Lei, on the other hand, closed his eyes to rest. However, his furrowed brows showed the worry in his heart.

"Don't worry, bad things won't always happen to us."

Seeing his gloomy expression, Dongfang Liuyun felt a little depressed and comforted him.

Hearing that, Qi Lei did not open his eyes. He replied calmly, "What if it does? It's hard to say if it's a good thing or a bad thing. At least to him, it might be a relief."

There was a hint of helplessness in his disappointed tone. Qi Lei did not want to admit how he felt.
