Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor quickly rushed Gu Shaoting into the emergency room. Shu Pan held Joy tightly, seemingly trying to draw strength from her. She was in a state of emotional turmoil.

“Mom, you’re hugging me too tightly. I’m having trouble breathing, ” protested Joy.

“Oh, I’m sorry, sweetheart. Mom was lost in thought and didn’t realize,” Shu Pan quickly loosened her grip.

“Mom, will Uncle Gu be okay?” It was the first time Joy had experienced such a situation, and she was truly scared, trembling in Shu Pan’s arms.

“Uncle Gu will be fine, my dear. Don’t be afraid,” Shu Pan reassured her while caressing her head, even though she was more anxious inside.

The lights in the emergency room stayed on. Suddenly, Shu Pan’s phone in her pocket rang. She checked and found it was Gu Shaoting’s phone. Just before entering the emergency room, the doctor had handed all of Gu Shaoting’s personal items to her, and his phone had been ringing persistently. She looked at the caller’s name, which said “Ming.”

Could it be He Ming? Among the friends she knew of Gu Shaoting, only He Ming had the character “Ming” in his name.

She was at a loss now. She couldn’t make up her mind in the midst of this crisis. After some hesitation, she pressed the answer button. As soon as she put the phone to her ear, He Ming’s voice came from the other end.

“Brother Ting, what’s been going on with you lately? You keep leaving the company early, have you reviewed the cooperation case with Hongyuan? We’re waiting for your decision,” He Ming blurted out without giving Shu Pan a chance to speak.

“Hello, I’m Shu Pan. Gu Shaoting was hit by a car and is currently in People’s Hospital for emergency treatment,” Shu Pan quickly informed He Ming during a brief pause in his talking.

“What? A car accident? Emergency treatment? I’m coming right away,” He Ming was startled and hung up the phone before heading to the hospital.

When He Ming arrived at the hospital, Gu Shaoting was still in the emergency room, and Shu Pan and Joy were waiting outside, wearing solemn expressions.

“What’s going on?” He Ming asked anxiously.

“A car was about to hit us, and he pushed us away, but he got hit by the car himself,” Shu Pan spoke in a frightened, somewhat incoherent manner.

“Did you see the license plate number?” He Ming inquired.

Shu Pan thought for a moment and then shook her head, saying, “No, there was no license plate number. The driver fled after hitting him.”

He Ming furrowed his brows. The situation indeed seemed suspicious.

“How long has it been since he was brought in?” He Ming asked.

“It’s been a little over an hour,” Shu Pan said, pursing her lips, hoping to ease her own tension.

“He should be fine. Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘disasters bring good fortune’? So, don’t worry too much,” He Ming tried to use a lighter tone to alleviate Shu Pan’s fears.

“I hope so,” Shu Pan gazed toward the emergency room.

While they were anxiously waiting, the lights in the emergency room finally went off, and a doctor in a white coat emerged, his face filled with gravity.

“The patient is now out of danger, but he is still in a coma. We need to continue monitoring and perform further examinations when he wakes up,” the doctor informed them, providing details about Gu Shaoting’s condition to prepare them mentally.

“Thank you, doctor,” Shu Pan quickly expressed her gratitude.

Shortly after the doctor left, Gu Shaoting was wheeled into the intensive care unit for observation.

Upon hearing that Gu Shaoting was out of danger, He Ming picked up his phone and informed Song Can..
