Chapter 1521 - 1507: Childbirth

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are inherently intuitive animals, naturally understanding what Tang Yumeng is saying. Xiao Bai rose up from beside Tang Yumeng, circled twice in the air, and then called out towards the outside.

Tang Yumeng, having spent such a long time with these two little creatures, naturally understood what they meant, and said, "Xiao Bai, are you saying you want to find Lin Chuan?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's little snake head nodded repeatedly, clearly indicating Tang Yumeng was right.

Tang Yumeng had an ominous premonition in her heart these past two days, always feeling that something might have happened to Lin Chuan, but he didn't answer when she called.

"Alright then, Xiao Bai, go ahead, and while you're at it, tell Lin Chuan to hurry back." Tang Yumeng said to Xiao Bai, who was flying in the air.

Xiao Bai chirped twice, twisted its body, and a golden light vanished from between the windows.

Xiao Hei did not go along, only quietly curled up beside Tang Yumeng.

…

At the same time, in Zhou Rui's home in Zhabei District, Shanghai.

It was just past 10 PM, and Zhou Rui was sitting with her aunt on the sofa, watching a boring love soap opera.

On the TV screen, two devoted lovers were forcefully separated due to family issues, bidding their heartbreaking farewell at the train station. Zhou Rui's aunt wiped her tears and said to Zhou Rui, "Xiao Rui, look how pitiful they are."

Zhou Rui laughed and said, "Aunt, this is all scripted nonsense; there's nothing like this in real life."

Saying this, Zhou Rui glanced at Blue Fox sitting on the opposite sofa.

Blue Fox rarely spoke after arriving at Zhou Rui's place, appearing silent and withdrawn, now sitting on the sofa, not watching TV, but staring out the window, seemingly pondering something.

Zhou Rui only knew that Blue Fox was sent by Lin Chuan to protect and take care of her, but she knew absolutely nothing about Blue Fox's identity.

Zhou Rui's aunt was somewhat dissatisfied with Blue Fox's silent attitude and privately mentioned it to Zhou Rui, but Zhou Rui just smiled and said, "Aunt, don't bother about others."

A lightning bolt struck across the sky, followed by a booming thunder.

Zhou Rui suddenly felt a pang in her stomach at this moment and couldn't help but cry out, "Aunt, my stomach hurts terribly."

With Zhou Rui's due date still about ten days away, her sudden stomach pain indicated the possibility of early labor.

Knowing this, Zhou Rui's aunt, experienced and calm, quickly stood up and said, "Xiao Rui, the baby might be early; hang in there, I'll pack and get to the hospital right away."

Even though Blue Fox was a woman, she knew little about childbirth. Hearing that Zhou Rui was going to deliver, she jumped from the sofa and moved to her side, looking concerned.

Zhou Rui's stomach hurt more and more, cold sweat appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but cry out loud.

Blue Fox could only hold onto Zhou Rui, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Rui's aunt emerged, seeing the situation getting worse, hurriedly tried to help Blue Fox support Zhou Rui downstairs.

Unexpectedly, Blue Fox directly embraced Zhou Rui and walked her downstairs.

Outside, the lightning continued, and raindrops the size of beans began to fall.

Reaching downstairs, Zhou Rui clung to Blue Fox's neck in pain, constantly crying out loud.

The road was bizarrely empty, without a single car in sight. Seeing Zhou Rui in such agony, biting her lip, a black sedan happened to pass by, Blue Fox leapt into the middle of the road without hesitation.

The driver was a man in his twenties, abruptly seeing someone blocking the road, he slammed the brakes in fright.

With a screech, the sedan skidded to a halt just in front of Blue Fox.

The young man stepped out of the vehicle and immediately cursed at Blue Fox standing in front, "You damned blind, don't seek death by involving me."

Blue Fox, her face darkened, was about to speak when Zhou Rui's aunt ran over and appealed to the young man, "Young man, my daughter is about to deliver, please take her to the hospital, apologies for just now."

"Damn, no time, move away quickly." The young man instantly refused Zhou Rui's aunt, even impatiently giving her a push.

Zhou Rui's aunt, being older and unprepared, stumbled, falling directly to the ground.

Blue Fox held onto Zhou Rui, who, upon seeing her aunt pushed to the ground, restrained her pain and shouted, attempting to break free from Blue Fox's hold.

Blue Fox, a key member of the Fire Fox Organization, had skills on par with Silver Fox. Angered, she swiftly drew a gun from her waist, aiming it coldly at the young man and said, "Pick her up immediately."

The young man was momentarily surprised before showing a disdainful expression, saying to Blue Fox, "You think waving a toy gun around would scare me? I'm not easily intimidated."

Blue Fox didn't say a word, aimed the gun at the young man's feet and fired.

The bullet shot into the ground beneath the young man's feet.

The young man was terrified, realizing it was a real gun. His legs went weak, almost dropping to the ground.

"Help the elder up and get us to the hospital quickly," Blue Fox said coldly.

The young man lost his previous arrogance, hurriedly helped Zhou Rui's aunt up, and the three of them got into the car. The young man drove quickly to the hospital.

Fortunately, it was less than a fifteen-minute drive to the hospital. Upon arriving, Blue Fox carried Zhou Rui out of the car.

"I'm really sorry about earlier. Take this money." Blue Fox pulled a wad of colorful bills from his pocket, threw it to the young man through the car window, and then carried Zhou Rui with her aunt towards the hospital.

The young man was dumbfounded. Blue Fox had thrown in US Dollars, all in hundred-dollar bills, totaling seven or eight of them, equivalent to several thousand CNY.

He thought about calling the police, but when he saw those dollars, he lost the urge and drove off.

At the entrance of the hospital's obstetrics department operating room, Zhou Rui's aunt looked anxiously at the operating room, while Blue Fox stood expressionless against the wall.

In less than five minutes, the operating room door opened, and a nurse in a white coat came out, ignoring the two of them, and walked straight ahead.

"Nurse, how is the patient inside?" Zhou Rui's aunt quickly asked.

"The patient is in very bad condition." After saying this, the nurse hurried off, seemingly to get something.

Hearing that Zhou Rui's condition was bad, Zhou Rui's aunt became completely panicked and nearly broke into tears.

Blue Fox came over, gently patted Zhou Rui's aunt's shoulder, and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, she'll be fine."

People are emotional creatures. Though Blue Fox often appeared cold, in critical moments, he showed his humanity.

Zhou Rui's aunt wiped her tears and looked gratefully at Blue Fox.

The nurse who left earlier rushed back and went straight into the operating room, closing the door with a snap.

The two were like ants on a hot pan, waiting outside the operating room. Shortly after, the operating room door opened again.

This time a doctor came out, a woman in her thirties. She removed her mask and looked at Blue Fox and Zhou Rui's aunt, asking, "Are you the patient's family members?"

Zhou Rui's aunt quickly stepped forward and said, "Yes, doctor, I am the patient's aunt."

The doctor was slightly surprised, then asked, "Is the child's father here now?"

Who the child's father was, Zhou Rui had not told her aunt, but her aunt knew in her heart; it was Lin Chuan.

"Doctor, the child's father is currently out of town and may not be able to make it. Please talk to me about any issues." Zhou Rui's aunt said to the doctor.

The doctor pondered for a moment and said, "The patient's condition is critical now. We might only be able to save one. The patient strongly requests to save the child, but you..."

Before the doctor could finish, Zhou Rui's aunt interrupted her and said, "Doctor, save the mother. Don't listen to Xiao Rui's nonsense."

The doctor nodded and said, "We will do our best, but you must also be mentally prepared that both the mother and child might be in danger. It's best to notify the child's father to come over as soon as possible."

The doctor's tone was calm, but Zhou Rui's aunt seemed to sense something, holding the doctor's hand and saying, "Doctor, please, you must save both the child and the mother. I'm begging you."

The doctor quickly supported Zhou Rui's aunt and said, "Ma'am, treating and saving patients is our duty. Rest assured, I will do my best."

After the doctor went back into the operating room, Zhou Rui's aunt went to the side, first called Lin Chuan, but no one answered, so she called Zhou Kai next.

Zhou Kai had just returned to Jiangbei City recently and was resting in a hotel room at the moment.

Only Lin Chuan knew that Zhou Kai was back in Jiangbei City. He didn't want to involve anyone else, so he didn't even tell his wife, Ma Yilin.

Ring, ring...

The phone rang. Zhou Kai saw it was Zhou Rui's aunt calling and quickly answered, "Aunt..."

Zhou Kai answered the phone, said two words, and heard Zhou Rui's aunt's anxious voice on the other end, "Kai, Xiao Rui's situation is very bad now. Can you help me notify Chuan to come to Shanghai quickly?"

Zhou Kai was fully aware of Zhou Rui's pregnancy. When Zhou Rui first fainted in the hospital, the doctor had already given some very bad advice.
