Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1161 - 690: Family

That night, Qi Bin couldn’t get any sleep.

He was well aware of the operation to clear the Forest Wolf, but due to certain sensitive reasons, he couldn’t participate and could only wait in the office for news.

The minute hand chased the second hand around the clock time and again, yet the phone on the desk remained silent. Feeling anxious, he stood up and paced to the window, drawing the curtains.

The sky was already showing the first light of dawn.

The operation should have ended by now, right?

"Ye’er, about Qianqian, I’m sorry, I apologize on her behalf."

"Ye’er, if you need any help, don’t hesitate. As long as I can do it, I’ll give it my all!"

"Ye’er, did you come to see me?"

"..."

"Xiao Bin, let sister take you out to play!"

"Little kid, you’re already as tall as sister?"

"Xiao Bin, do you still recognize sister?"

"Xiao Bin, sister wants to help you, that’s why I got transferred to be with you. Do you welcome me?"

"Xiao Bin, I like you, but I can’t hold you back, so I can only be your sister and subordinate..."

"..."

The intersection between Luo Ye and Hang Menglin unfolded like montages before his eyes, scene after scene, each one so vivid.

With Luo Ye, he was always the one actively seeking opportunities to close the distance, yet even so, their interactions were pitifully few, and Luo Ye always maintained a distant detachment.

With Hang Menglin, she had always been the one actively seeking opportunities to close the distance, from childhood to adulthood, it had always been this way. His attitude towards Hang Menglin mirrored Luo Ye’s attitude toward him.

"Pick up the phone, pick up the phone, pick up the phone..."

Suddenly, the ringtone pulled his thoughts back. He glanced at the number and answered in haste, "Boss, is there news?"

"You need to go to Qujing City People’s Hospital immediately; Hang Menglin is injured and currently in surgery..."

Before Ye Xuan could finish his words, Qi Bin was already rushing out of the office.

"Mayor..."

The driver, Ouyang Xiaodong, appeared from nowhere, chasing behind him. Qi Bin paused: "I told you to go back, why are you still here?"

Ouyang Xiaodong chuckled: "I’m all by myself anyway, going back is pointless. I was worried the Mayor might need a car, so I waited in the lounge."

Without uttering a word, Qi Bin quickened his pace: "To the City People’s Hospital."

When they arrived at the hospital, Hang Menglin had just been transferred from the operating room to the intensive care unit.

"How is she? Boss, how is she?" Qi Bin anxiously approached Ye Xuan.

"If she wakes up after twenty-four hours, she’ll be halfway to safety. Fully out of danger depends on her indicators forty-eight hours later." Ye Xuan patted him, "Given her physical condition, it shouldn’t be a problem, but..."

Seeing Ye Xuan halt and not continue, Qi Bin urgently pushed him: "Boss, why are you playing tricks now, trying to kill me with anxiety?"

Ye Xuan smiled bitterly: "I’m not playing tricks; I’m just weighing how to say it."

"Let me say it." Luo Ye pushed Ye Xuan aside, staring intently at Qi Bin, "Brother Qi, tell me the truth, do you truly like Coach Hang?"

"Well..."

Qi Bin couldn’t have imagined Luo Ye asking this question right now; he glanced uneasily at the people surrounding them, stuck.

Xiang Lianxing leaned closer: "Mayor Qi, do you...like Captain Hang?"

"I..." Qi Bin nodded, "Yes, I like her."

"That’s good, Captain Hang likes Mayor Qi, I know it, everyone in our team knows it, Mayor Qi, she needs you most right now, please!"

"Mayor Qi, we all hope Captain Hang will be happy, please help!"

"Mayor Qi, we beg you!"

"..."

The reconnaissance team members bowed towards Qi Bin in unison.

"Don’t do that, she’s always the one helping me all along. This time, I should be with her..." At that moment, the attending doctor walked out of the intensive care room, and Qi Bin hurriedly approached, "Doctor, can I go in and accompany her now?"

The doctor shook his head: "Not for the moment. I’ll inform you when she can be visited."

"When do you estimate we can visit? I’m her boyfriend. With my encouragement, she should recover faster. What do you think...?"

The doctor pondered for a moment: "Come see me in five hours."

"Alright! Thank you, doctor!"

The doctor suddenly widened his eyes: "You...you are Mayor Qi?"

Qi Bin nodded: "I’m Qi Bin!"

The doctor’s expression turned somewhat embarrassed: "Mayor Qi, please forgive my oversight, it was truly...truly disrespectful."

"No, you did everything according to the normal procedures, there’s nothing disrespectful." Qi Bin leaned closer to him and lowered his voice, "But, when is the earliest I can go in to be with her?"

After pondering for quite a while, the doctor looked at him seriously: "Mayor Qi, after three hours. I must prioritize the patient’s safety, please forgive any inconvenience."

"Thank you! I’ll come find you then."

"I’ll go take care of things now." The doctor pulled out a business card and handed it to Qi Bin, "This is my phone number, Mayor Qi, you can call me directly if it’s urgent."

Once the doctor walked away, Luo Ye’s lips curved into a smile: "Indeed, the current official is less influential than the current manager."

Ye Xuan chimed in: "That’s right, when we brought Hang Menglin over, even when we showed our work ID, they still maintained a business-like tone."

"Mayor Qi, thank you!" Xiang Lianxing bent his waist at a ninety-degree angle, staying bent for quite a while.

Xiang Lianxing’s gesture left Qi Bin a bit puzzled: "Didn’t we clarify everything just now? Why be so formal?"

"Captain Hang fell into danger while saving me..." Tears welled up in Xiang Lianxing’s eyes, "The one who should be injured is me."

"Here’s how it happened..." Luo Ye quickly pulled Qi Bin aside and explained the detailed situation.

"So that’s how it is..." Qi Bin sighed lightly, "Truly, there are still those with discerning eyes to recognize heroes; Menglin is really good, really good indeed."

"We all know, you don’t have to keep repeating..." Luo Ye pursed his lips, "Since you know she’s so great, treat her a bit better.

Captain Hang is actually quite pitiable, her personality might be a bit extreme, but she’s becoming more tolerant. If she has someone who truly loves her, I believe she’d become more likable."

"What you said..." Qi Bin couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Ye Xuan, who was quietly listening at the side, "Boss, why do I feel that the lady boss is increasingly acting like a lady boss?"

"Annoying!" Luo Ye shot him a look, "Don’t call her that carelessly!"

"I’m still in the probation period. When your lady boss feels the test is passed, then you can openly call her that. Otherwise, be careful she’ll use the flying needle against you."

"You two..." Qi Bin helplessly pointed at the two of them, "Who dares say you aren’t a couple? Both of you are sly and mischievous. I won’t chatter with you any longer, I’m going to buy some bedside living essentials. Do you need me to bring anything for you?"

Ye Xuan waved his hand: "No need!"

Luo Ye smiled and explained: "I still need to handle the aftermath of the case, this place is left to Brother Qi."

"Truly a harmonious couple!" Qi Bin said as he swiftly headed downstairs.

Once his figure disappeared, Luo Ye sighed lightly: "I hope he can awaken Coach Hang’s will to live."

"Why didn’t you let me tell him?"

"At this moment, adding that pressure to him, does it have any meaning?"

After pondering for a while, Ye Xuan nodded: "Indeed, Ye’er is more attentive than I am."

"In terms of emotions, men are always a bit dull." Luo Ye looked at him with a teasing smile, "Otherwise, why would you bring back so many romantic debts?"

"Ye’er..." Ye Xuan looked at her helplessly, "Why are we bringing this up again?"

Luo Ye pursed her lips: "I don’t want to bring it up either, but it suddenly came to mind. Isn’t it because you’ve made such mistakes so many times that I’ve formed a conditioned reflex?"

Ye Xuan: "..."

"Not convinced?" Luo Zhong glanced at him, "I see your expression, why does it seem a bit off?"

"I’m thinking maybe my character is a bit lacking. Why does Ye’er always meet gentlemen? Should I count them for you?"

Luo Ye: "..."

...

Three hours later, Qi Bin was allowed to change into sterile clothing and stay in the ICU to watch over Hang Menglin, following the advice of the attending physician Liu Miaoliang, and occasionally tell some happy stories to stimulate Hang Menglin.

Two hours passed, Qi Bin spoke until his mouth was dry, and Hang Menglin still hadn’t woken up.

Meanwhile, the Hang family had arrived.

It was Mr. Hang and Hang Yanzhao’s couple who came.

Mr. Hang held Qi Bin’s hand, gratefully shedding tears: "Xiao Bin, thank you, thank you for taking care of Lin Lin for us."

Hang Yanzhao also stepped forward: "That’s right, Xiao Bin, I really didn’t see before that you are such a considerate child. This is truly Lin Lin’s blessing."

"Xiao Bin, the way you treat Lin Lin, I am deeply grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. When Lin Lin gets better, come home together, I’ll cook my best dishes for you."

Qi Bin looked somewhat numb at the three people, inwardly sneering, if they really valued Hang Menglin so much, how could they let her suffer so much?

Watching as the Hang family went downhill and seeing the Qi family getting better, they harbored certain intentions, going so far as to butter him up desperately, do they take him for a fool?

At that moment, he truly felt heartache for Hang Menglin.

At a time like this, the first thing these elders do upon arrival isn’t to care about her injury, but to think about how to use her to gain benefits for the Hang family.

No wonder she abandoned everything to come to his side, apart from liking him, distancing herself from these people in despair must be another reason, right?

Feeling his disdain, Mr. Hang looked a bit awkward, glaring at his son: "Hurry and ask the attending doctor about Lin Lin’s current condition, discuss whether transferring her to another hospital is possible." Then he grunted resentfully, "And as for the incompetent leader who caused Lin Lin’s injury, they must absolutely not be let off!"
