  Mu Qing, who was usually calm and collected, sounded anxious at the moment. Shangguan Ning had ceased to breathe. Her heart and stopped beating. Mu Qing had done all that he was capable of, but he could never match up to his grandfather. It was only his grandfather who could bring Shangguan Ning back from the dead. Without wasting precious minutes, he asked Jing Yichen to have Granpa Mu summoned at the earliest.

  Jing Yichen asked Mu Qing no questions. He immediately made a call and sent the helicopter to the Family Mu mansion.

  Mu Qing called his grandfather and patiently waited for him to answer his phone.

  “Grandpa, I need your help. Its urgent! It is a matter of someone’s life and death. Jing Yichen has sent his helicopter to the mansion. Please get to the hospital right away.” His voice was shaky.

  Grandpa Mu had always believed that life was not meant to be lived in the extremes. He went to bed early and started his day early as well. It was already two o’clock in the morning and when his grandson requested him to come to the hospital, he realised that the situation must be a grave one.

  If it hadn’t been something important, his grandson would not have called him. As a doctor, Mu Qing had been trained to treat every medical emergency in a practical manner. His profession required him to stare at death from very close quarters, every single day.

  The fact that even he was so anxious, meant that the situation needed Mu Wengsheng’s intervention.

  Mu Wengsheng believed that saving a life was like putting out a fire. Each minute was of importance. One second of delay was the difference between life and death.

  So the moment his grandson put down the phone, he got up and got dressed.

  When he came to the yard, the helicopter was there already.

  A few minutes later, the Grandpa Mu reached the hospital. He had established this institution, single-handedly. Everyone at the hospital knew him and bowed to him, in respect.

  He headed directly towards the emergency room, nodding politely at the staff.

  He was already over 70 years old but he was still very strong and sturdy. His face looked healthy and he barely had any grey hair. He could easily pass off for a man in his fifties.

  Jing Yiran was extremely nervous on seeing Granpa Mu rush into the emergency room.

  Mu Wegsheng, namely Grandpa Mu, had retired from his post in the hospital, years ago. He had handed over his prestigious hospital to his grandson, Mu Qing, to carry its legacy forward. He was not involved in the day to day affairs of the hospital anymore.

  Mu Qing knew, that if anything could save Shangguan Ning now, it was Mu Wengsheng and his ‘magic touch.’ All of A city, in fact the entire country, was aware of Mu Wengsheng’s level of medical expertise.

  Mu Wengsheng got to the emergency room, got changed in a jiffy, put on his gloves and got to work.

  The moment he saw Shangguan Ning, he knew, she was in trouble.

  He instructed his staff to help with rescue work, whilst Mu Qing acted as his assistant. Mu Qing appeared to be very anxious. On the contrary, his grandfather worked in a calm and composed manner.

  Usually, Mu Wengsheng would explain each procedure to his grandson, as he did it, but today was different. He needed to single mindedly focus as reviving a person who was clinically dead.

  Anyone who knew Mu Wengsheng would say that he was the only doctor who could bring a patient back from the verge of death, as long as the patient was able to breathe without life support.

  Shangguan Ning had already stopped breathing. She was on the ventilator.

  As time went by, Jing Yichen, who was still waiting outside the emergency room, had come to expect the worst.

  He was so restless that he wanted to go inside the emergency room, to know Shangguan Ning’s condition. At the same time he feared the once he went in, there was no way of hiding from the truth.

  Until he stood outside, atleast he could cling onto hope. If he walked inside, he would have to come to terms with his worst nightmare.

  Time ticked on and the whirring sound of machines in the emergency room, filled the quiet corridor.

  A few hours later, the room fell silent.

  Jing Yichen looked up.

  Mu Wensheng walked out first. He looked at Jing Yichen and said briefly – “Alive!”


  No word in the entire world, meant more than this word. Any love and loathing was useless without the strength of this word.

  Jing Yichen let out a sigh of relief. He felt exhilarated. The joy of getting someone back after one has almost lost them, was something he could not express.

  He was in the same generation as Jing Yichen’s grandpa Jing Tianyuan. He was prestigious and had once saved Jing Tianyuan’s life. They two had a very close friendship with each other so the way he treated Jing Yichen was quite casual too.

  Seeing that Jing Yichen wanted to walk inside still, he slapped on the back of Jing Yichen’s head.

  “You spoilt brat! What are you in such a hurry for? Learn to have some patience.I had thought that you would be an apt role model for my Mu Qing, but it looks like I was making a mistake. Your public persona is just a façade.In reality, you are an impatient bastard.”


  The Old Mu had a firm and loud voice in scolding and his slap was quite strong as well. Jing Yichen simply couldn’t fight back.

  Jing Yichen couldn’t wait to see how Shangguan Ning was faring. Reading his mind, Mu Wengsheng shouted out, “Didn’t I tell you not to go in there. The girl has survived the ordeal but she is not out of danger yet. No one is allowed to enter the emergency room, at their whim and fancy. Please follow the rules. Looks like Mu Qing has bent a lot of rules for you. He needs to be reprimanded.”


  Grandpa Mu still had a firm and loud voice.

  Mu Wengsheng was as old as Jing Yichen’s grandfather. Despite his age, he had made it to the hospital at this unearthly hour and saved Shangguan Ning’s life. Jing Yichen needed to show him some respect, no matter what.

  Mu Wengsheng glared at Yichen and asked him menacingly, “Oh yeah? I can’t scold you? Come with me. I am an old man already and you boys still worry me. With all the stress you boys have given me, I’m sure my life span would’ve reduced by twenty years.”


  Saying this, he pulled Jing Yichen by his ears.

  Jing Yichen winced in pain. “Please Grandpa Mu, let go of me. I won’t go in!”


  He was already in his 30s and heading Jingsheng Enterprises. He could not afford to spoil his image by being seen like this, in public. He was being led out of the hospital by Grandpa Mu, who was pulling him by his ear. What if Lee Duo and his team saw him? How would he face them ?

  Mu Wensheng refused to let go of him. Ignoring Jing Yichen’s pleas, he mumbled, “I think I saw Jing Yiran here, a moment ago. Where is the brat, now? He seems to have run away. Qing, Yiran and you look like you all have lost someone very dear. Relax, my boys ! Loosen up. Don’t get so worked up. Whose wife is this girl, anyway?”


  Jing Yichen ignored the scorching pain in his ears and replied instantly, “She is mine…… my wife!”


  “What did you just say? You have a wife ? Didn’t you prefer men? She couldn’t have been imported all the way from Thailand, could she? Those Thai people are so skilled,I tell you. I could’ve sworn that the patient in the operation theatre was a woman. Gosh, I must be getting old!”
