Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 252 Awakening

The pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated into Shen Qianhe's nose, and his consciousness gradually returned.

She slowly opened her eyes, and all she saw was a blinding white.

I could hear the regular ticking of instruments and the sound of Gu Wanwan sobbing softly.

"Night..."

She spoke with difficulty, her throat so dry and painful.

"Chizuru!"

Gu Wanwan rushed to the bed, her eyes red, "You finally woke up! I was scared to death!"

Shen Qianhe wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the tears from Gu Wanwan's face, but found an IV tube inserted in his arm.

"Wanwan...why are you here? My dad..."

Gu Wanwan wiped her tears with the back of her hand and quickly explained, "Uncle Xiao is in the next ward. He wasn't seriously injured and woke up yesterday."

Shen Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again: "Where are Xie Jincheng and the old man..."

Gu Wanwan's expression suddenly became unnatural. She lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers unconsciously: "That...he..."

"What's up with him?"

Shen Qianhe was a little anxious. She grabbed Gu Wanwan's wrist and said weakly, "You said..."

"Xie Jincheng is still in a coma."

Gu Wanwan's voice became smaller and smaller. "Also, Grandpa Xie... passed away."

"what!"

Shen Qianhe's brain buzzed and memories came flooding back.

The blinding white light, the deafening explosion, Wei Yan's crazy laughter...

Scenes flashed through my mind.

She remembered Wei Yan's ferocious expression when she pressed the switch, remembered Xie Jincheng holding her tightly under his body, remembered Old Master Xie...

"Do not......"

Tears welled up in Shen Qianhe's eyes.

A few seconds before the explosion, Mr. Xie rushed towards Wei Yan and knocked her to the ground, trying to use his skinny body to give his son some hope of survival.

He held Wei Yan tightly, allowing her to struggle wildly.

Finally, a deafening roar swallowed everything.

Shen Qianhe suddenly opened his eyes, tears blurring his vision.

She struggled to get up: "Where is Xie Jincheng? I want to go find Xie Jincheng..."

"Don't move!"

Gu Wanwan quickly held her down, "Calm down first! You are extremely weak right now, don't overwork yourself!"

"let me go!"

Shen Qianhe's voice was filled with tears, "I want to go see him..."

"Chizuru!"

Gu Wanwan's voice also choked up, "You are the only one in the Xie family who can take charge of the overall situation now. If anything happens to you again, how am I going to explain to Xie Jincheng!"

Shen Qianhe was stunned, tears silently falling.

Gu Wanwan sighed and gently wiped away her tears: "The doctor said that Xie Jincheng's condition has not reached the worst yet. Can we wait a little longer? Song Yubai has contacted the best brain research team in the world and they will arrive in Beijing tonight. Believe me, he will get better!"

Shen Qianhe closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Night..."

She choked up and said, "The old man actually didn't have to do that..."

Gu Wanwan was silent for a while, then said softly, "Maybe he is redeeming his sins in his own way."

Shen Qianhe couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

Gu Wanwan held her in her arms and patted her back gently: "Cry, it will be better after you cry."

Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shines into the ward, giving the white walls a layer of gold.

Shen Qianhe cried like a child in Gu Wanwan's arms, as if she wanted to vent all her fear, sadness and grievances.

Tired of crying, she leaned on Gu Wanwan's shoulder and whispered, "Wanwan, when is the old man's funeral? I want to go and see him off for the last time."

Gu Wanwan sighed: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Shen Qianhe nodded and looked out the window.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, she seemed to see the kind smile of Mr. Xie.

......

Upon hearing the news that Shen Qianhe had woken up, Xiao Chengzhou immediately rushed over from the next ward.

His steps were a little hurried, and the moment he pushed open the door, his eyes fell on his daughter lying on the hospital bed.

Shen Qianhe's face was still pale, but much better than yesterday.

Xiao Chengzhou felt relieved a little, walked to the bedside and gently held her hand.

"Chizuru, how do you feel?"

His voice was low and gentle, with a hint of concern.

Shen Qianhe forced a smile, his voice a little weak: "Dad, I'm fine, don't worry."

Xiao Chengzhou nodded, his eyes lingering on her face for a moment. After confirming that she was indeed fine, he slowly spoke: "I didn't tell your mother about this matter."

Shen Qianhe was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

When the explosion occurred, Xiao Chengzhou happened to be standing next to the iron gate. Most of the shock wave of the explosion was blocked by the iron gate. In addition, the rescue workers protected him outside the door in time, so his injuries were the lightest.

But even so, he still had a piece of gauze on his forehead and a bandage on his arm.

Xiao Chengzhou patted the back of her hand gently, and said in a calm tone: "I didn't tell her. She is in poor health and I am afraid she will be upset. And..."

He paused, his eyes a little complicated, "Beijing has some bad memories for her."

Shen Qianhe was silent for a moment and nodded.

She knew what her father was worried about.

Xu Shuqin's health has always been poor and she cannot withstand too much stimulation.

In addition, what happened in the capital that year has always been a scar in my mother's heart.

If she knew what happened this time, it would probably bring back those painful memories.

"Dad, I understand."

Shen Qianhe said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Xiao Chengzhou looked at her with eyes full of heartache. He knew that his daughter had too many things on her mind.

He sighed softly, and said in a gentle tone: "Qianhe, don't think too much, have a good rest. Dad is here for you."

Shen Qianhe nodded and forced a smile: "Yeah, I know."

Xiao Chengzhou spoke to her for a few more words, but seeing that she was still in a low mood, he stopped talking.

He tucked the corner of the quilt for her gently, and said gently: "You go to sleep for a while, I will come to see you later."

Shen Qianhe closed his eyes and hummed softly.

Xiao Chengzhou stood beside the bed, looked at her quietly for a while, then turned and left.

When he walked out of the ward, his steps were heavy and his brows were furrowed. It was obvious that he had a lot on his mind.

He had just escaped danger with his daughter in the capital, and as soon as he woke up he heard from his subordinates that Xiao Heng had gone to Myanmar to rescue a beautiful girl.

They are all really a worry.

After Xiao Chengzhou left, Shen Qianhe leaned against the head of the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

The scene of the explosion kept flashing in her mind, and the scene of Xie Jincheng protecting her under his body replayed over and over again.

"Xie Jincheng, nothing must happen to you..."

She whispered softly, tears welling up again.

She remembered the last look Xie Jincheng gave her, so gentle and so reluctant.

He knew clearly that it was dangerous, but he still rushed towards her without hesitation and used his body to block everything for her.

"Xie Jincheng, you must wake up..."
