No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Jiang Hua: Dad, if you die, I don't want to live either...

...

Imperial City International Airport.

Jiang Hua held her plane ticket in her hand, and her suitcase had already been checked in. However, in the airport's business VIP waiting room, Jiang Hua was looking down at her phone. It was the middle of the night, and there weren't many people boarding at this hour; there were only a handful of people.

Just then, the announcement for boarding came over the loudspeaker.

Jiang Hua held the plane ticket in her hand.

She was looking down at her flight information, preparing to confirm the location of her boarding gate, when suddenly her phone screen lit up with a push notification.

Breaking news…

A serious speeding incident occurred on the Huanqiu Elevated Highway, with the other party suspected of being drunk. The incident resulted in a violent collision with several pedestrians, injuring 20 people and killing 3.

The suspected chairman of Jiang's Jewelry Group also met with misfortune. Our reporters on the scene will continue to report on the situation.

Jiang Hua's heart tightened suddenly, and her fingers unconsciously swiped the screen. The message was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all her thoughts.

"Miss, may we board now?" someone whispered in her ear.

Jiang Hua felt dizzy and disoriented; time seemed to freeze. All the surrounding sounds faded away, leaving only her rapid breathing and the pounding of her heart. Her face was pale, and the phone in her hand felt incredibly heavy, almost slipping from her grasp. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and fear, the word "car accident" echoing repeatedly in her mind, each word like a sharp knife cutting into her heart.

Jiang Hua couldn't believe it; how could she have gotten into a car accident out of nowhere?

Didn't he go to the banquet with Pei Zhan?

No...impossible.

Will not.

This news must be fake.

How could Dad have gotten into an accident...?

Jiang Hua tried to calm herself down, but the panic and unease in her heart surged like a tidal wave, difficult to suppress.

Jiang Hua quickly dialed her home phone, but all she heard was a cold busy tone.

"Answer the phone!"

Jiang Hua called again and again, but no one at Yulong Bay answered...

"Madam, please board the plane!"

The flight attendants reminded them again.

Jiang Hua's mind went blank, and she pushed the flight attendant away.

At the airport gate, Jiang Hua hailed a car. Sitting inside, her hands trembling, she called Zuo Xiangnan. After making the call, Zuo Xiangnan was on his way back from Fan Hua Si Jin. He had only just learned about the car accident from the news.

"Miss, don't worry, I'll contact the hospital immediately..."

"I...I know..."

The sound of Jiang Hua crying came from the phone. Zuo Xiangnan was slightly taken aback. "You... Miss... you're crying?"

Jiang Hua hung up the phone, got into a taxi, and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"Huahua is her father's little princess."

"Huahua... Daddy caught another fish for you, and it's a big one..."

"Huahua is having fish again tonight!"

Dad, you have to be alright...

After receiving Zuo Xiangnan's message, Jiang Hua immediately rushed to the hospital.

As night fell, the dim glow of the streetlights spilled across the empty hospital corridor, illuminating Jiang Hua's hurried and anxious figure.

Her steps were hurried and disordered. The distinctive smell of disinfectant in the hospital seemed particularly pungent to her, making her feel even heavier.

But at this moment.

A surgical trolley was pushed in from outside the hospital gate.

Several medical staff in green surgical gowns moved swiftly and professionally. Jiang Hua's heart tightened. She saw clearly the man covered in blood, wearing an oxygen mask. She rushed forward, "Dad..."

She chased after him, and at that moment, the emotions she had been suppressing burst forth in tears, which she could no longer hold back.

When Jiang Hua was about to enter the operating room, she was stopped. "Miss, family members are not allowed to enter. Please wait at the door."

Jiang Hua was anxious and heartbroken, tears streaming down her face, while at the same time she felt an unbearable pain in her heart.

"Please, please save my father. I beg you to save him no matter the cost."

"Don't worry, we will do our best..."

After the doctor went in.

The operating room doors slowly closed, separating Jiang Hua into two worlds.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Jiang Hua could no longer bear it and collapsed to the ground, her body weak. She could only hear her own racing heartbeat and the faint flashing of the indicator light outside the operating room.

Then, at the same time, in the operating room next door.

A nurse rushed over and found Jiang Hua.

"Ms. Jiang, are you a family member of Mr. Pei Zhan?"

"He's been issued a critical condition notice, and you need to sign it..."

Upon hearing Pei Zhan's name, Jiang Hua exclaimed, "What...what did you say?"

The nurse repeated, "When Mr. Pei was in the car accident, he protected another injured person in time. The car crashed into the guardrail, causing the guardrail bar to pierce his shoulder blade. He is now bleeding heavily. The hospital's blood bank is running low on blood, and we have to go to another hospital to get more."

"Miss Jiang, you'd better sign quickly..."

After the nurse finished speaking, Jiang Hua, pale-faced, picked up the pen and said, "Sign, I'll sign..." Her hand trembled as she wrote each stroke on the critical condition notice.

At that moment, Jiang Hua felt the wall behind her completely collapse.

dad…

Pei Zhan…

Was Pei Zhan injured while protecting his father?

Jiang Hua dared not imagine what she had gone through back then!

"Can he... survive?"

Jiang Hua believed that because she had forced him to marry her back then, he hated her and her father. Now, he was risking his life to protect her father…

What is he thinking?!

He was probably hoping that after his father died, Pei Zhan could take over the Jiang family business smoothly.

Now... what exactly does he want to do?

Jiang Hua's mind went blank; she couldn't think of anything.

The nurse told Jiang Hua, "When the ambulance arrived at the scene, Mr. Pei looked like he was about to die, but he still insisted on getting Mr. Jiang into the ambulance, which delayed the best time for treatment by a few minutes."

"However, Miss, you should also be mentally prepared that if that gentleman doesn't wake up, he might become a vegetable."

"What about my dad? How is he?" Jiang Hua was more worried about her father.

The nurse said, "He should be fine. Luckily, he took evasive action quickly enough. Mr. Jiang will be out after a minor surgery..."

So that means Pei Zhan really did save Dad…

Jiang Hua stumbled back two steps, unable to support herself.

The nurse was a little worried about her condition. "Miss, are you alright? Nobody wants something like this to happen. Please prepare yourself mentally."

Jiang Hua clutched her aching chest, her mind filled with the nurse's words...

"How...how is this possible?"

"Why would Pei Zhan protect Dad?"

"No, he has a purpose... he must have a purpose..."
