Chapter 333: Song Hongjun’s Fear

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Song Hongjun’s Fear

Galaxy Apartments, Cloud Peak Courtyard.

Song Mingzhu held her pale-faced daughter, her expression vacant.

Pools of conspicuous blood stained the floor while personnel from the Northern Domain’s Celestial Medicine Hall prepared for emergency treatment.

"No, I want to wait for Brother Qin!" Song Mingzhu trembled all over.

Her daughter was her life!

Sisi’s episodes had never been this severe before, and she was terrified!

She couldn’t trust anyone else!

This was the scene that greeted Qin Tianxuan when he arrived.

A tremor went through his eyes. "Lingsu, take a look, quickly. The child was only supposed to be anemic. Why is it this bad?"

He had already braced himself.

Just seeing the blood Sisi had coughed up all over the floor, he knew this illness was no simple matter.

Lingsu immediately gathered the members of the Celestial Medicine Hall, brought over specialized medical equipment, and temporarily cleared out a sterile room.

After running various preliminary tests, Lingsu emerged with a report, her expression grim. "The preliminary diagnosis points to a possibility... of blood cancer!"

Blood cancer—what people commonly call leukemia!

Song Mingzhu collapsed to her knees with a THUD.

She was completely drained of strength; it was a wonder she wasn’t wailing uncontrollably.

Qin Tianxuan steadied himself. "There are many types of blood cancer... Lingsu, just be direct. What’s the worst-case scenario?"

"I’m afraid it’s the worst kind—chronic and fatal. Current treatments involve either maintenance with medication, gene therapy, or a bone marrow transplant..."

Lingsu sighed. "The Celestial Medicine Hall is, after all, an organization of the Battle Department. We’re better at treating external injuries and combat-related illnesses. For the child’s condition, I suggest going to Shangdu Children’s Hospital. Their hematology department is the best! A friend of mine is a director there."

Qin Tianxuan rubbed his forehead. "Contact the children’s hospital immediately and register her in advance. Tell them we’re on our way. Also, have Prince prepare a private jet to bring Gu Qingzhi’s team over!"

Gu Qingzhi, who was still in Jinling, was already a famous Little Divine Doctor in Da Xia. As Ye Shuanghua’s successor, Gu Qingzhi’s current standing in the Da Xia Kingdom’s medical world was subtly approaching that of the Divine Doctor Ye Family!

Lingsu turned and took out a pale yellow pill from a wooden box.

"Sir, this is a life-saving medicine exclusive to our Northern Domain. It can help the child by activating her body’s latent potential and stabilizing her condition."

It was a medicine to be taken only in a life-or-death moment!

But at this moment, Lingsu’s judgment was correct. Sisi had started coughing up blood again, her high fever wouldn’t break, and she was crying out in agony!

Song Mingzhu scrambled to her feet, heedless of everything else, and snatched the pill to give to her daughter.

Sisi finally managed to catch her breath.

Some color even returned to her little face.

Overjoyed, Song Mingzhu almost knelt before Lingsu again.

Qin Tianxuan shook his head. "This medicine will only last for a day. It works by activating latent potential, so it can only be used once."

Lingsu bit her lip. "The most crucial thing is that it doesn’t cure the illness. She only appears to be better on the surface."

"Get the car ready! We’re going to the children’s hospital now!" Qin Tianxuan was unwilling to wait any longer.

He directly lifted Sisi onto his back and said in a low voice to the weak-limbed Song Mingzhu, "Go pack what the child will need for a hospital stay. First, register her online for a medical record!"

Song Mingzhu frantically found her bag and followed Qin Tianxuan out, her eyes red-rimmed. "Shangdu Children’s Hospital is the best hospital in the city. I’ve been there several times, and just registering can take a whole day in line. That Director Fang in the hematology department only sees patients on Mondays, and only for half a day. I just..."

Qin Tianxuan took out his phone and glanced at it. "This Director Fang is a friend of Lingsu’s. For the child’s sake, I had Lingsu pull some strings. Don’t worry."

The car started, and Song Mingzhu slumped into her seat, her mind a complete blank.

Qin Tianxuan held Sisi, his heart heavy.

"I’m sorry..." Sisi murmured in his arms. "Uncle Qin, am I being a burden to Mom?"

Qin Tianxuan’s heart clenched. "No, silly girl. Of course not."

Sisi leaned against his shoulder with infinite longing. "I grew up without a dad. At school, everyone called me an orphan. I really, really want a dad. But it’s a pity... Uncle, you already have a daughter."

Qin Tianxuan didn’t know what to say.

Sisi continued to murmur, "I’ve seen your daughter, Uncle. Her name is Niannian, right? Niannian is so lucky to have a dad like you. I’m so envious."

Qin Tianxuan quickly took out his phone and started a video call.

Niannian soon came online, crying out "Dad!" in delight.

Qin Tianxuan handed the phone to Sisi. "Niannian actually knows about you too. Good girl. Why don’t you two talk for a bit."

Looking at the poor girl, he swore to himself that he would cure this child, no matter the cost.

The car stopped at the entrance of the children’s hospital.

As soon as Qin Tianxuan and Song Mingzhu got out of the car, a nearby hoodlum’s eyes went wide.

The guy hastily called the Song Family.

Meanwhile, at the Song Family residence, Song Hongjun had just received news of the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association’s destruction.

Drenched in sweat, he paced back and forth anxiously.

Even a powerful figure like Du Jinrong had been taken down. The most terrifying part was that the one who made the move was a high-ranking official from the Northern Domain!

The Northern Domain Night Emperor!?

The very person Song Hongjun feared and respected the most.

"You all know Chen Shaohua came from the Northern Domain. Killing him back then was something we were forced to do. What I fear most is the Northern Domain’s reaction!"

Song Hongjun wiped his sweat, his eyes bloodshot, as he glared at his adopted sons!

His biological son was an idiot, so now he could only rely on this bunch of incompetents.

Among his adopted sons, the most restless and arrogant one, Song Wenbin, stepped forward. "Godfather, what’s there to be afraid of? This is Shangdu, a city of the Jianghu. The Northern Domain can’t just bring the Battle Department charging in here, can they? When it comes to one-on-one fights or playing dirty, who have we ever been afraid of?"

Song Hongjun immediately roared, "Bullshit! How did the Cyan Mountain Commerce Association fall? Vice Governor Yuan Shanhe has protected us for so many years, but this time he didn’t even dare to make a peep! Do you motherfuckers have any idea how powerful the Northern Domain Night Emperor is?"

He trembled with rage, finally grinding out through clenched teeth, "We have to find a mid-to-high-level contact in the Northern Domain to get some intel!"

Song Wenbin’s eyes darted. "Didn’t the Six Halls under the Northern Domain Night Emperor become independent? I know a former Captain from the Intelligence Hall. He’s retired and living right here in Shangdu."

Song Hongjun was overjoyed. "Make preparations at once! Host a banquet for this Captain!"

After a moment’s thought, he slammed his hand hard on the table. "That Qin guy and Song Mingzhu must be killed as soon as possible! I need this to be a case with no living witnesses!"

Just then, a subordinate reported that they had found Song Mingzhu’s whereabouts.

Song Hongjun gave a vicious wave to Song Wenbin. "Go find Dean He at the children’s hospital. First, grab that bastard child named Sisi for me. Once we have the kid, things will be easy!"
