School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 570: Leng Xuan is injured 5

"It’s nothing, you’re overthinking," Zhou Li shook her head.

However, Zhou Jingpeng was not so easily fooled. He looked at his sister, then glanced at Li Mengjie and the other woman, pondered for a moment, and quickly understood the connection. He gave a bitter smile; it seemed that Leng Xuan’s charm was indeed considerable. If it involved someone else, he definitely wouldn’t meddle, but since it involved his own sister, he felt compelled to intervene no matter what. "Sister, what exactly is going on between you and Leng Xuan?"

"Nothing at all."

"Then what exactly is your relationship with him now?"

"What relationship can there be? We’re just ordinary friends," Zhou Li said, her tone somewhat despondent. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Seeing this, Zhou Jingpeng couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Sister, there are no outsiders here, just tell the truth. Do you like Leng Xuan? If you do, then your brother encourages you to boldly pursue him. If you don’t, then you should keep your distance from him in the future. I don’t want you to get hurt, understand?"

Zhou Li blushed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Big brother, I’m not clear myself if I really like him or not. Can you give me some time? Anyway, I won’t hide it from you; I do have a good impression of him, but as for how things will develop in the future, I really can’t say for sure."

"Alright!" Zhou Jingpeng nodded, "No matter what decision you make, your brother will support you."

Time ticked away, and about three hours later, the lights in the operating room finally came on. Seeing the nurses wheeling out Leng Xuan, everyone immediately gathered around. They heard the lead surgeon say, "That’s enough, let the patient rest well for now. Although the surgery went well and the injuries have been treated, the patient has not yet passed the critical period. Don’t disturb him."

Ling Xuejiu then asked, "May I ask, doctor, what do you mean by ’critical period’?"

The doctor replied, "Although the internal and external injuries have been treated with the surgery, he is still in a deep coma. This situation is hard for us to manage; in cases of deep coma, our medical staff cannot control or predict the outcome. It all depends on the patient’s willpower; the stronger his will, the quicker his recovery. Conversely, if his willpower is weak, we cannot guarantee when he will wake up. It could take a year, perhaps ten; it’s unpredictable, so you all need to be prepared."

Hearing this news, everyone felt disheartened. Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie exchanged looks, reading deep concern in each other’s eyes, while Zhou Li hung her head, her eyes rimmed with red.

Just then, they heard Zhou Jingpeng say, "Everyone, don’t worry too much. I know Leng Xuan well; his willpower is absolutely strong. I believe he will wake up soon." Indeed, when he and Leng Xuan had been on missions abroad, they had several near-death experiences, trapped in dire situations with no food and no rescue. If not for Leng Xuan’s powerful will uplifting everyone’s spirits, they would have likely given up long ago. So, he had absolute confidence in Leng Xuan.

Su Zhenggang also comforted them, "Right, Leng Xuan is no ordinary person. I believe he will wake up soon." Saying that, he checked the time; it was already the early morning hours, so he said, "It’s very late. There’s no need for everyone to keep standing here and miss out on rest. We can just leave someone here to look after things, and the rest can come back tomorrow."
