CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: NOT SMART, BUT OBEDIENT

In the bustling hospital corridor, two imposing figures stood in front of a ward, feeling out of place amid the crowded hallway.

As Shi Lemeng and Lin Xiang approached, one of the figures gestured for them to stop.

"Comrade, hello. The person lying on the bed inside is my brother. He is in a coma now, and I’m very worried about his condition. I need to go in and see him."

"Are you Lin Xiang?"

"Yes, I am Lin Xiang."

The person opened the ward door, "You can go in and see Comrade Lin Yun, but do not stay longer than five minutes. If you want to know more about his condition later, you can consult the doctor."

Lin Xiang didn’t delay any further and went straight into the ward.

Shi Lemeng also wanted to follow but was stopped, without even an explanation.

She could only wait anxiously outside.

Lin Yun on the hospital bed looked emaciated, with lips and cheeks devoid of any color.

Previously, he lived under Mrs. Lin’s supervision and was already frail. After Lin Xiang arrived, she tried various ways to nourish him, attempting to gain his favor, and he had finally gained some weight. Now it was all gone again.

In just a few days, he had lost a lot of weight. Who knows what had happened.

"Brother?"

"Lin Yun?"

Lin Xiang tried calling for Lin Yun, but he remained comatose, showing no response.

As the five minutes were up, the comrade who initially spoke to Lin Xiang called her out.

"Comrade, what exactly is wrong with my brother?"

The comrade replied with a serious expression, "You can go to the doctor to understand Comrade Lin Yun’s physical condition."

Visiting the doctor would only let her know Lin Yun’s current state, but not the cause of his injury.

But the two comrades guarding the door were clearly unwilling to communicate further with Lin Xiang, leaving her no choice but to find the doctor responsible for Lin Yun’s treatment with Shi Lemeng.

"He was injured, and the wound is in a rather delicate position. If it had been two millimeters to the west, it would have hit a vital spot, and there would be no chance for rescue. He has been in a coma for two whole days and hasn’t yet passed the critical period. If he doesn’t wake up within three days, he might remain in this state forever."

"Impossible, he’ll definitely get better!" Lin Xiang blurted out without thinking.

In the world of this novel, Lin Yun is undoubtedly the main character. If something happened to him, the entire story would end!

But why did Lin Yun suffer a gunshot wound out of the blue?

"As a doctor, I also hope he can escape the danger to his life soon."

Lin Xiang and Shi Lemeng left the doctor’s office and sat on a bench in the corridor without speaking to each other.

After a long while, Shi Lemeng asked Lin Xiang, "Why do you think Lin Yun was shot out of the blue?"

"I don’t know either." Lin Xiang shook her head slightly, "The two people guarding my brother’s ward have an extraordinary demeanor, they should be military. Judging by their attitude toward my brother, he probably didn’t make a mistake warranting surveillance."

On the contrary, those two soldiers seemed to be protecting Lin Yun.

However, Lin Xiang racked her brain to recall the plot of the original story but couldn’t think of anything related to this.

Until Lin Yun wakes up, Lin Xiang has no idea what really happened.

She returned to the ward.

"Comrade, I want to stay with my brother tonight. Can you make an exception?"

The other party showed no emotion and refused Lin Xiang without feeling, "Sorry, there are regulations in place for dedicated medical staff to take care of Comrade Lin Yun; no one else is allowed to stay overnight."

Even if Lin Xiang was Lin Yun’s sister, it didn’t matter.

Allowing Lin Xiang to see Lin Yun for five minutes was already an exception.

Lin Xiang had no choice but to find a spot in the corridor to sit.

She needed to be closer to Lin Yun, so when he wakes, she would be the first person he sees, and this would make their bond stronger.

Of course, gaining favor was just one aspect; she was genuinely concerned about Lin Yun.

Shi Lemeng stayed with Lin Xiang, sitting on the floor without any image concerns.

"Lin Xiang, do you think Lin Yun will really be okay?"

"I feel like he should be fine."

Lin Xiang’s confidence came from knowing Lin Yun was the main character, but based on the doctor’s tone, Lin Yun’s injuries were severe, and the outcome was still uncertain.

Shi Lemeng stared at the ward, about to speak, when one of the guarding comrades approached.

"Comrades, please leave the hospital immediately."

Lin Xiang frowned at the person, "You refuse to let me see my brother. Now you’re stopping me from even sitting in the corridor?"

"Please don’t make things difficult for me."

"Am I making it difficult for you? Clearly, you’re making it difficult for me!" Lin Xiang shouted angrily.

"Comrade, this is an order from the chief. We hope you can cooperate with our work and temporarily leave the hospital."

After a pause, he added, "We hope you won’t come to the hospital for the next few days. If there’s any change with Comrade Lin Yun, we’ll notify you by phone. Until you receive notification, please refrain from coming to the hospital."

The other party repeated twice not to come to the hospital, forcing Lin Xiang to consider the seriousness of the situation.

The chief wasn’t someone who would create difficulties without reason; there must be something behind this.

Lin Xiang prided herself on not being particularly clever, but she could follow instructions.

She stood up with one hand against the wall, "Okay, I’ll leave the hospital now. But promise me, no matter if my brother wakes up or if his condition worsens, you must notify me immediately, I’m from Li Hua..."

"I know your identity, rest assured. Whenever Comrade Lin Yun’s condition changes, we will notify you immediately."

The other party interrupted Lin Xiang before she could finish introducing herself, clearly not wanting her to continue.

Lin Xiang didn’t linger any longer, dragging the reluctant Shi Lemeng out of the hospital.

Until she no longer smelled the pungent odor of formaldehyde in her nose, Lin Xiang released Shi Lemeng.

"You heard what that comrade said earlier; we should not come to the hospital these days, especially not to visit my brother."

Shi Lemeng probed, "Lin Xiang, have you discovered anything?"

Lin Xiang shook her head, "I haven’t discovered anything, but I trust the organization."

"If anything happens to your brother, please also let me know. My house is in the housing area of the thermos factory, just ask around and you’ll find it."

"Yes, if anything happens, I’ll let you know."

After all, she still needed to bring the male and female leads together.

After parting ways with Shi Lemeng, Lin Xiang planned to head home.

After all this trouble, it was nearly dark; she had to get back before nightfall.

On the way back to Li Hua Team from the hospital, she would pass by the guesthouse.

Normally, Lin Xiang didn’t pay attention to guesthouses, but today, a crowd gathered at the entrance, pushing Lin Xiang, who didn’t want to be nosy, into it.
