Yun Yehou’s wife felt wronged by his rebuke, but his angry glare stopped her from saying anything more. All she could do was go to one corner and sulked there!

Mu Yazhe, Gong Jie, and the two kiddos arrived shortly after.

The man walked over with a solemn look on his face. Upon seeing his wife’s dispirited expression, he was about to inquire about the situation when the door to the operating room was flung open.

The doctor came out and, upon seeing the group hustling in front of the door, asked, “Who is the patient’s family member?”

“Me! It’s me!” Yun Shishi rushed forward and anxiously checked with the doctor. “I’m his daughter! How is my father’s condition now?”

Sounding fatigued, the surgeon explained Yun Yecheng’s situation to her. “It’s hard to assess if he’s able to pull through this crisis; we’re still doing our best to save him. Why don’t you settle his medical bills first so that we can continue with the rest of his surgery?”

The young lady nodded. “Alright.”

“I’ll go make the payment.” Her husband stepped in immediately.

“Eh… okay…” She could only nod her head dully as her face turned crestfallen.

She looked so lost and subdued that her brother could not help feeling sorry and worried for her. Gong Jie walked up to his twin, hugged her around the shoulders, and comforted, “Don’t worry, sis! You must stay calm right now, or you won’t be able to handle this matter.”

“Eh.” The woman nodded with a heavy heart.

She knew that she had to calm down.

Her uncle also chipped in, “Yes, that’s right. Your father is still in a critical condition. I know he’s not out of danger yet, but we have to stay calm now no matter what. We need to support him, so we must not lose our footing and remain strong, instead.”

Heartwrecked, the woman cried, “What happened?! Why did someone throw acid on him for no reason at all?! Who the hell did this to him?!”

Yun Yehou gave a long and heavy sigh, then shook his head. “I really don’t know! I actually can’t think of anyone who would do something so b*st*rd and ruthless! This is just too cruel!”

Apparently, this happened last night.

Yun Yecheng did the mid-day shift yesterday; hence, he only finished work at about 10 PM.

As usual, his brother was waiting at home for him.

However, there was still no sign of the man despite waiting up to midnight. By then, Yun Yehou had already made a few calls to him in vain.

Finally, his brother could no longer stay put at home and, with some difficulty, managed to wheel himself out of the door to look for Yun Yecheng.

He had not ventured far when he heard a commotion nearby.

Out of curiosity, he went over to look and found people crowding around a man lying on the ground. The onlookers were animated as they sighed and shook their heads at the scene. A couple of them were even making police reports. Not wanting to be nosy, he was about to leave when he heard an exclamation.

“Hey, isn’t this man from Unit 203? I’ve seen him a couple of times before. His surname is Yun something…”

Alarmed, he quickly pushed his way through the congested crowd only to discover his brother, who was unconscious by then, lying prone in a puddle of blood.

Nobody dared to touch him or move him away.

Someone said that the small foamy bubbles surrounding the unconscious man were actually concentrated sulfuric acid. Anyone who touched that would be burned; hence, they had to wait for the police and ambulance to do the necessary, emergency treatment.

The crippled man’s face turned pale with shock instantly.

Concentrated sulfuric acid?!

Shaking with fear, he took a second look and almost fainted at the gruesome sight on the ground!

“This is my brother! He’s my brother! Quick—somebody help, please! Someone, please help to save him!” He screamed and begged for help desperately.

The onlookers quickly reassured him when they realized that he was the victim’s family member. “We’ve already called the police and ambulance! They should arrive soon. Please hang on!”
