Chapter 1358: Yun Rui's sincerity: in desperate situation
It was unknown how long it took before Yang Bin took out his cell phone, intending to call his subordinates to inquire about Qi Ruixiang's situation, but he found a news push popping up on the screen - "Shocking! The director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is suspected of speeding, running a red light, and driving recklessly, and is suspected of being involved in a major case."
Below the title was a blurry photo. The car in the photo was the taxi he had just taken. With the window rolled down, his anxious profile could be vaguely seen.
Yang Bin's heart skipped a beat, and with trembling fingers he clicked on the news. The article exaggerated claims that the police chief knowingly broke the law, disregarded traffic regulations, and, presumably, destroyed evidence to shield a criminal suspect. The comments section was abuzz with speculation that he was being targeted by higher-ups and preparing to resist arrest, questions about his "abuse of power," and even links him to the Gu family case, questioning his continued involvement. "How could he survive the Gu family's downfall?"
"These bastards!" Yang Bin threw his phone to the ground, and the screen shattered instantly, just like his heart at the moment.
As expected, that person didn't even want to let go of his own family...
He doesn't want to let go of anyone who is involved with the Gu family, or anyone who is deeply involved!
First, she framed Qi Ruixiang, then she deliberately leaked the news to provoke Xiaotang, and now she is pushing him to the forefront, just to bring ruin to their family and make them irreparable!
Anger burned in his chest like a flame, but it was immediately followed by a deeper sense of powerlessness. He was the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he had dedicated his entire life to upholding the dignity of the law. But now, he was being maliciously smeared and turned into a despised "lawbreaker."
What made him even more desperate was that he didn't even have time to fight back - his daughter was still in the emergency room, her life or death uncertain, and he could only stay here and watch others throw dirty water on him.
The door to the emergency room opened a crack, and a nurse hurried out. Yang Bin immediately got up from the ground, rushed to the nurse, grabbed her arm, and asked anxiously, "Nurse, how is my daughter? Is the baby saved?"
The nurse was so hurt by his grip that she still said patiently, "Don't get too excited, family members. The doctors are still trying to save the baby. The situation is not optimistic. The pregnant woman has lost too much blood, and the fetal heart rate is unstable. We need the family's signature to consent to the use of special medication."
Yang Bin took the consent form from the nurse, his hands shaking so much he could barely hold the pen. He read the "potential risks" one by one, each one like a knife stabbing his heart. He took a deep breath and signed his name, stroke by stroke. His handwriting was sloppy but resolute—if it meant his daughter and grandson were safe, he would give it all.
After the nurse left, Yang Bin sat back down on the chair at the door to the emergency room. Gradually, more people filled the hall. Some recognized him, pointed at him, and whispered to each other like countless mosquitoes buzzing in his ears.
"Isn't that Director Yang? How did it get like this?"
"Didn't you watch the news? It seems he got into trouble and even implicated his family."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. He usually seems quite upright, but I didn't expect..."
These comments pierced Yang Bin's heart like needles, but he was powerless to refute them.
His mind was now filled with his daughter in the emergency room, and he didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He took out a cigarette and tried to light it, but found that his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even light the lighter. In the end, he could only throw the cigarette on the ground in frustration and crush it with his foot.
Time ticked by, the lights in the emergency room remaining on. Yang Bin's phone kept ringing, with calls from subordinates, relatives, and reporters. He simply switched it to silent mode and tossed it aside.
He didn't want to care about anything now, he just wanted to wait for the door of the emergency room to open and hear the doctor say "mother and daughter are safe."
Anxiety wrapped around him like a vine, making him restless. He paced back and forth at the door of the emergency room, and with every step he took, he felt his heart beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to jump out.
He recalled how he had stayed in the hospital like this when Xiaotang was sick as a child, not sleeping all night, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said she was fine. But this time, he had a strong premonition that things would not be so simple.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up. It was a text message from a subordinate: "Director, the person who leaked the information to Miss Yang has been found. It was Yan Wanqing. It seems someone else is behind this, but they are very cunning, and the clues have been cut off. In addition, negative news has begun to ferment online. The Municipal Bureau asked you to come forward to clarify as soon as possible."
Yang Bin looked at the text message and trembled with anger.
The person behind the scenes was not only ruthless, but also did it in a foolproof manner, refusing to leave even a single clue.
Even if he wanted to clarify now, he simply didn't have the energy. What's more, clarification without evidence would only be seen as an attempt to cover up something.
At that moment, the lights in the emergency room went out. Yang Bin rushed over immediately. Seeing the doctor walk out wearily, his heart leaped into his throat. He asked in a trembling voice, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"
The doctor took off his mask, shook his head, and said in a heavy tone, "We've done our best. The pregnant woman is still in a coma. The excessive blood loss problem is temporarily under control, but the fetus's condition is very grim and requires further observation. Family members, please be mentally prepared."
"No... Impossible..." Yang Bin staggered back a step, his vision went dark, and he almost fell down. "Doctor, please think of a way. Please, you must save my grandson..."
"We will try our best, but now it all depends on the will of the pregnant woman and the fetus." The doctor patted him on the shoulder, turned and walked into the office.
Yang Bin stood there, his mind blank. He stared at the door of the emergency room, as if he could see his daughter struggling in pain inside. The anger, fear, anxiety, and powerlessness in his heart intertwined and almost overwhelmed him.
He knew that the war was far from over, and the people behind the scenes were still watching them in the dark and could launch the next attack at any time.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. The pain brought him back to consciousness. He looked towards the emergency room and vowed silently: No matter who was behind this, no matter how cunning they were, he would find the truth and seek justice for his daughter and grandson...
On the other side, the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up one after another with the sound of footsteps, and then slowly went out behind him. In the alternation between light and darkness, he suddenly heard two policemen talking in hushed voices.
"Have you heard? Something happened at Director Yang's house. His daughter, Yang Xiaotang, seems to be going into premature labor and has been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment."
"Really? Wasn't he fine yesterday? I saw the news this morning and it said Director Yang was speeding and ran a red light to get his daughter to the hospital. Someone filmed it and posted it online."
"That's right. I heard the Yang family is in turmoil right now. Miss Yang is still in the ICU and it's not certain whether the child can be saved..."
Qi Ruixiang couldn't hear the rest of the conversation. His mind felt like it had been struck by a sledgehammer, a blank. Only the words "premature birth," "rescue," and "the baby can't be saved" echoed in his ears. He stopped abruptly and struggled to break free from the police, his voice hoarse with shock. "What did you say? What happened to Xiaotang? Which hospital is she in now?"
The policeman was startled by his sudden reaction and quickly grabbed his arm again, saying in a serious tone, "Qi Ruixiang! Calm down! We are still under investigation and you are not allowed to inquire about the situation of irrelevant people!"
"Unrelated personnel?" Qi Ruixiang's eyes instantly turned red, his chest heaving violently like an enraged trapped animal. "That's my wife! My unborn child! Why won't you let me ask? What happened to her? Is she upset because I was arrested?"
