Chapter 95: I’ll Give You My Life
Shao Chengxi was accompanying the President on a state visit abroad when he received the phone call about Shu Lin’s accident.
The call came from Shao Shiyan.
His voice was urgent and strained.
“Shu Lin was attacked by unidentified Alpha pheromones and fainted on the spot. He’s being rescued at Shao’s Hospital.”
Upon hearing this news, Shao Chengxi’s heart sank, and his face tightened.
At that moment, he had only one thought: to abandon all state affairs and immediately fly back to Imperial Capital.
However, due to his responsibilities, he could not leave the President’s side at this time.
He took a deep breath and calmed down.
After clarifying Shu Lin’s condition and learning that he was not in immediate danger, Shao Chengxi immediately ordered the medical experts from the Ministry of Defense to go to Shao’s Hospital to fully cooperate in the treatment of Shu Lin.
While waiting for the President’s state visit to conclude, he had already planned every step he would take next.
Dare to touch his person!
Pei Yuan, you motherfucker, you absolutely must die this time.
The President’s state visit finally ended, and Shao Chengxi found the President as soon as possible, talking with him privately for nearly an hour.
Afterward, Shao Chengxi took a special plane back to Imperial Capital.
When he arrived at Shao’s Hospital, Shu Lin was still unconscious.
Shao Chengxi strode into the ward and felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Shu Lin’s pale face.
He took Shu Lin’s hand and called out in a low, choked voice:
“Baby, it’s me, I’m back. Open your eyes and look at me… Baby, baby…”
Shu Lin did not respond.
Tears welled up in Shao Chengxi’s eyes, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, unable to calm down for a long time.
Knowing that Shao Chengxi had arrived, Chen Mingyuan and the military doctors from the Ministry of Defense had been waiting outside to report the situation to him.
They waited for Shao Chengxi for a very long time.
When they saw him, apart from the redness in his eyes, the young Minister of Defense still looked as cold, calm, and composed as usual.
Chen Mingyuan was the first to treat Shu Lin, so he understood the situation best and reported first.
His tone was heavy:
“That afternoon, Mr. Shu was simultaneously attacked by multiple malicious Alpha pheromones, none of which were lower than A-class, and there was even an S-class Alpha.”
“This kind of high-intensity pheromone attack is impossible to defend against; it’s fatal to an Omega.”
“In mild cases, it can lead to a decline in intelligence; in severe cases, it can directly cause brain death, which is irreversible.”
The military doctors, represented by Mu Zi, added:
“We did our best to stabilize Shu Lin’s condition. What kind of damage this attack will ultimately cause to him will have to be further assessed after he wakes up.”
Shao Chengxi’s face was grim, and his eyes revealed murderous intent.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and sincerely asked them to do their best to treat Shu Lin.
Returning to the ward again, Shao Chengxi knelt halfway by the hospital bed, gently stroking Shu Lin’s pale cheeks, and tears welled up again.
He held Shu Lin’s hand tightly, lightly resting his forehead on it, his shoulders shaking with suppressed emotion.
Baby, you can’t have anything happen to you.
Please hold on, please.
If anything happens to you, it will take my life.
Baby, I’ll give you my life. I only ask that you be well, only that you be well.
Shu Jingcheng was greatly affected after Shu Lin’s accident.
Because he had already undergone stomach cancer surgery, his body was weak. Now, he was both receiving treatment in the hospital and trying to wait for his precious son to wake up.
These days, Shu Lingxiao had been guarding her father and brother day and night, extremely haggard.
Fortunately, Shao Shiyan had been following her, forcing her to drink water and eat, and constantly enlightening and comforting her.
Shao Shiyan kept promising her:
“Sister, Shu Lin will be fine. Believe me, believe our Shao family, and believe in my second brother even more.”
“Uncle is much stronger than you think. He will get through this. He believes Shu Lin will be fine, and you have to hold on too.”
Shu Lingxiao didn’t speak, just mechanically drinking the water he handed over and eating the food he fed her.
She couldn’t fall, she couldn’t.
At this moment, she truly realized how strong her Omega brother was when he faced the uncertain life and death of her and their father during the City Central Hospital explosion.
But, if he hadn’t married Shao Chengxi, how could he have encountered this unwarranted disaster today?
Shao Chengxi came out of the ward again, with no trace of tears on his face.
The other members of the Shao family were waiting for him outside.
Shao Tingrui, Shao Bingheng, Shao Shiyan, as well as Shao Yuqin and Shao Yuanheng, were all present, their faces solemn.
Shao Bingheng patted Shao Chengxi’s shoulder and said in a deep voice:
“We have already learned the details of the matter from the four bodyguards and Gu Xiao.”
“Although the personnel were complicated at the time, making it impossible to directly identify the murderer, all the clues point to Pei Yuan.”
Shao Shiyan clenched his fist, his eyes filled with anger:
“That bastard Pei Yuan! If you have the ability, come at us Shao family members. It’s really despicable to be so ruthless to an innocent person.”
Shao Yuanheng echoed: “That’s right, it’s too fucking despicable. Daring to bully our Shao family’s Omega like this, does he think there’s no one in our Shao family?”
Shao Chengxi glanced at everyone and said coldly:
“I have already ordered the full arrest of Pei Yuan and everyone in the Pei family’s motorcade, focusing on investigating the A-class and above Alphas who were present at the time. I won’t let a single one go.”
In fact, he had already detained Guan Jiafan, the Minister of Health.
This time, he would settle both old and new scores together.
Shao Bingheng frowned, worried:
“Chengxi, this matter involves too much and needs to be handled calmly. Such a large-scale arrest operation may cause a greater storm and invite criticism.”
Shao Chengxi’s eyes were like knives:
“Calm? I only regret being too calm, which allowed my Omega to suffer such pain, lying in a hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance.”
“If Pei Yuan dares to touch my people, he must die. This time, I will make the entire Pei family pay the price.”
Shao Bingheng looked at his determined appearance, pursed his lips, and hesitated to speak.
Shao Tingrui and Shao Yuqin, who hadn’t spoken all along, exchanged glances and nodded in understanding.
At this time, the Shao family’s highest authority needed to step forward and make a decision.
Shao Tingrui walked to the door of the ward and, through the transparent glass, looked at Shu Lin on the hospital bed, and Shu Lingxiao and Shu Jingcheng who were guarding him.
Thinking of Shu Lin’s friend Gu Xiao, who, even though he was seriously injured by the pheromone waves, had to first work with the bodyguards to rescue Shu Lin before he would look at his own injuries.
Their Shao family could no longer sit idly by.
In the Shao family, nothing was more important than the lives of their loved ones.
The Pei family had touched the Shao family’s most precious person; they could not be let off.
Everyone followed Shao Tingrui, looking at the people in the ward, and for a moment, they all knew what to do next.
Just three days after Pei Yuan officially announced his wedding date, news came from the official website that he, Guan Jiafan, and a large number of related personnel from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Health had been arrested.
Such a large-scale arrest operation had only happened once before, during the purge of the opposition a year ago.
For a time, the empire was a little confused.
Unaware of the situation, the public only felt that Shao Chengxi, the Minister of Defense, was too arrogant, and a tide of criticism poured towards him.
