The Word Spirit said, "Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"As long as 07 is here, Dr. Li will not dare to make any rash moves."

Chi Xiao, with dark circles under his eyes and a deep weariness emanating from his body, nodded to Yan Ling.

Then I entered the password and went into the operating room.

A biting wind swept across Chi Xiao's face; if Yan Ling hadn't pulled him back in time, Chi Xiao would have been injured.

Gong Chen held his weapon with a wary expression, only putting it down after recognizing the group.

Gong Chen asked, "Is it resolved?"

Chi Xiao leaned against the wall and said to Gong Chen with a relaxed expression, "You almost beat me to death."

Seeing Chi Xiao's condition, Gong Chen knew that the problem was solved and there was nothing serious.

But his expression changed the next second. He gripped his weapon tightly and slashed at 07, who was to the right rear of Chixiao, without the slightest hesitation.

Gong Chen's attack style was wide and sweeping. 07, who was standing with his arms crossed, didn't even change his posture, slightly turned to dodge, then stretched out one hand, grabbed Gong Chen's weapon-wielding hand, and knocked the weapon out of his hand. He pinned him against the wall, controlling Gong Chen with one hand.

Gong Chen's cheek was pressed against the wall, and even though he was restrained, he kept cursing: "Ruan Qian'an, you beast, how dare you show your face here!"

07 frowned, clearly displeased with Gong Chen's words, and unconsciously increased the pressure on her hand.

Gong Chen cried out in pain, "Let me go right now!"

Chi Xiao helplessly rubbed his forehead and stepped forward to slap 07's hand away.

Gong Chen rubbed his aching shoulders and glared at 07 with hatred.

Chi Xiao cleared up the misunderstanding for Gong Chen, saying, "She is not Ruan Qian'an."

Then he continued, "But please don't say anything insulting to the boss again."

Gong Chen clenched his fists as he looked at the three men's unfriendly eyes: "I'm just telling the truth."

In the blink of an eye, Yan Ling appeared behind Gong Chen and patted him on the shoulder.

With a gentle look in her eyes, Yan Ling bent down to look at the newborn baby in the incubator and said to Gong Chen in a flat tone, "Calm down, don't scare the baby."

Gong Chen hadn't seen her movement at all. His clenched fist loosened in frustration. He knew this was a show of force; he was no match for her.

The baby was encased in a transparent glass dome, neither crying nor opening its eyes, simply lying quietly, unusually so.

Her quiet face was reassuring, and her small body seemed to possess immense energy.

Huo Jingmo was lying on another bed, also covered by transparent glass.

For some reason, that cold and pale face now appeared unusually alluring, making him exceptionally handsome. One glance was enough to make one fall head over heels.

Chi Xiao said to Gong Chen, who was still somewhat stunned, "It's relatively safe here for now. Given Huo Jingmo's and the child's condition, it's better not to move them frequently."

For the first time, wariness towards Chi Xiao rose in Gong Chen's eyes.

Chi Xiao then muttered to himself, "We have to wait until the boss comes back."

He looked worriedly at the device connected to the baby; the pulse was sometimes long and sometimes weak, and it took a long time to stabilize.

Upon hearing Chi Xiao's words, Gong Chen said, "Huo Jingmo will be under my care."

Chi Xiao laughed and said, "Although you are not bad, wouldn't it be better to take care of him together? You shouldn't doubt me. If I didn't want Huo Jingmo to live, I wouldn't have waited until now."

Gong Chen said calmly, "You take orders from Ruan Qian'an, so I have to be careful. No one would give their life to an enemy, would they?"

“This is something I just realized. I don’t doubt you at all. Your loyalty to Ruan Qian’an is the biggest threat to Huo Jingmo.”

Chi Xiao smiled: "I understand you. What you said is indeed right. You can guard against us, but you can't prevent us from intervening."

Gong Chen gritted his teeth and looked at Chi Xiao, who had a shameless expression on his face, and said, "This is really unreasonable!"

Chi Xiao spread his hands: "There's no other way, I have to do it myself to feel at ease."

Gong Chen: "If you do everything yourself, I should start to worry."

Chi Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead: "From your perspective, the boss is fickle and ruthless, but from my perspective, the boss will not lay a hand on Huo Jingmo again."

"And you can check me anytime, not just me, but also 07 and the Word of Power."

Gong Chen snorted coldly: "How dare I investigate? I might get beaten to death if I'm not careful."

Seeing that Chixiao seemed to be relenting, he said, "You have no other choice, do you?"

Gong Chen scoffed but could only swallow his resentment and said, "Fine."
