My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 385: Stealing the Phoenix to Transform the Dragon? 2

If it’s really as Brother suspects, could Bai Danfeng be the other mother from my past life, the one who carried me for ten months and gave birth to me?

Yun Yin stomped his foot in anger, glaring fiercely at Mo Yinhe. "Little Sister! You come back to Mu Continent with me to investigate Bai Chuanfeng. If we find out there really is something fishy, Brother will eliminate her for you!"

Mo Yinhe lazily curled the corner of his lips. "In that case, why don’t we split our forces? Mingjing and I will return to Xingguang Island to investigate our aunt, while Prince Yun goes back to Mu Continent to look into our mother-in-law. If we strike from both ends, won’t we achieve twice the result with half the effort?"

Sheng Liuyun immediately allied with Yun Yin, saying, "If we’re splitting up, we’ll go back to Mu Continent with our little sister to investigate. You return to Xingguang Island to start with Bai Danfeng. It’s also achieving twice the result with half the effort, so what’s the issue?"

"Of course, there is an issue." Mo Yinhe held his wine glass, leisurely taking a small sip.

"What issue?" Sheng Liuyun asked, his face darkening.

Mo Yinhe spoke inscrutably, "That’s an issue someone like you, still single, would find hard to understand."

Sheng Liuyun got it in seconds: "!!!"

Even Si Mingjing understood instantly. She raised her foot and fiercely stepped on Mo Yinhe’s, her face slightly flushed.

Mo Yinhe feigned pain, his voice cool, deep, and melodious. "Mingjing, what I mean is, without me holding you at night, your sleep quality will decrease."

Si Mingjing rolled her eyes!

Yet, she couldn’t refute it.

After moving in with Mo Yinhe, her sleep quality truly was much better than when she was single.

That was another reason she was willing to sleep with him.

Seeing Si Mingjing ignore Mo Yinhe, Yun Yin said confidently, "Little Sister, come with me."

"No, I’m going back to Xingguang Island."

Si Mingjing said, "Brother, let’s strike from both ends."

Yun Yin felt utterly defeated. "..."

Si Mingjing’s mind was made up. She did want to go to Mu Continent, but first, she needed to take Song Tiantian there and find a reliable family for her.

Moreover, Ye Siyuan’s birthday was in a few days, and she had promised Si Yuan she would attend her birthday party.

Si Mingjing had even prepared the birthday gift well in advance.

Mo Yinhe versus Yun Yin—a complete victory!

Feeling good, he served Si Mingjing more food, rewarding her for being on the same page with him.

「The next day, the two of them took the children back to Xingguang Island.」

After returning to the palace, they rested briefly before Mo Yinhe took her to visit Bai Danfeng.

But they found no one home; the housekeeper informed them that Bai Danfeng had been taken to the hospital.

"Auntie is sick?" Mo Yinhe frowned slightly.

The housekeeper, wiping tears, said, "Mr. Mo, Madame has had a car accident and has now been taken to the hospital. I heard she lost a lot of blood..."

Mo Yinhe immediately got the hospital’s address from the housekeeper, and they rushed to the hospital with Si Mingjing.

Just then, it was the evening rush hour in Yecheng, and the traffic was at its worst. To make matters worse, it was raining. Relentless raindrops pattered on the car, and the mist blurred their view, slowing their progress. The elevated highway was backed up for miles, resembling a long dragon. Even Mo Yinhe’s motorcade couldn’t escape the congestion; in ten full minutes, the cars had moved less than two hundred meters.

The car’s radio was broadcasting the news, mentioning a typhoon approaching that evening and reminding citizens to close their windows and go out as little as possible.

Si Mingjing saw Mo Yinhe’s grim expression as he urged the driver to find a way to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. She asked, pursing her lips, "You seem to really like my aunt?"

"She dotes on you, and you two used to get along well."

Mo Yinhe’s way of dealing with people was entirely dictated by how they treated Si Mingjing, his precious one.

For example, since Gu Changbin called him brother-in-law, he respectfully regarded Gu Changbin as his eldest brother-in-law.

Similarly, because Bai Danfeng, Bai Jiusi’s aunt, doted on Bai Jiusi, Mo Yinhe regarded her as an elder and respectfully called her ’Auntie.’

Si Mingjing had no memory of her, but hearing Mo Yinhe say this, she developed a favorable impression of this aunt she had yet to meet.

The car stopped at the entrance to the hospital building. The two of them got out, stepping into a raging wind.

Even the umbrella held by the guard couldn’t block the moisture carried by the gale.

Mo Yinhe acted on instinct, spreading his coat open and tucking her under it, holding her tight as they walked into the hospital building against the wind.

Though it was only a five-meter walk, Mo Yinhe was soaked over half his body.

He took off his coat. With deep, tender eyes, he scanned Si Mingjing from head to toe. Seeing that only her pant legs were a bit wet, he felt relieved. Then, he took her hand and led her toward the emergency room.

They asked around and learned that Bai Danfeng had been taken to the operating room and was currently undergoing surgery.

Bai Danfeng’s husband, Tao Chengzhou, was sitting on a chair outside the operating room at that moment.

He had also been injured; a bandage was on his forehead, and his striped shirt was completely dirty, stained with blood that had dried to a blackish color. He appeared lost and fearful, staring at the constantly lit ’surgery in progress’ light above the operating room door, his eyes filled with desperate prayer.

"Uncle-in-law."

Mo Yinhe, holding Si Mingjing’s hand, strode toward Tao Chengzhou and urgently asked, "How is Auntie?"

Tao Chengzhou’s head was buzzing, his mind a blank. He glanced at Mo Yinhe, then quickly turned his gaze back to the closed door of the operating room. "She’s in surgery right now," he said. "The doctor said the situation is very dangerous..."

After finishing his words, Tao Chengzhou buried his face in his hands, his voice filled with pain. "I shouldn’t have let her sit in the passenger seat. In a car accident, the passenger seat is the most dangerous. If anything happens to Danfeng, I’ll never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

"She’ll be alright."

Seeing Tao Chengzhou’s agony, Mo Yinhe offered comforting words, "The virtuous are blessed by heaven."

At that moment, the tightly closed door of the operating room was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A doctor in a white coat came out, took off his mask, and asked, "Who are the patient’s family members?"

Tao Chengzhou stood up abruptly, swaying a little, perhaps from rising too quickly.

He didn’t bother to steady himself and hurried over, only to stumble.

Fortunately, Mo Yinhe was quick to react and promptly reached out to steady Tao Chengzhou. "Uncle-in-law, take it easy, don’t rush."

How could he not rush? Tao Chengzhou looked at the doctor as if he were a savior, ready to make any offering.

"Doctor, how is my wife?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head. "I’m sorry, we’ve done all we could, but she was brought in too late. Go in and see her. These are her final moments."

Tao Chengzhou suddenly felt his head heavy and his feet light, as if the world were spinning around him. He broke down, crying out, "Impossible, that can’t be! Doctor, please save my wife, save her! I’m willing to give up twenty years of my own life, please, save my wife..."

"I’m truly sorry."

What doctor doesn’t want to save their patient?

But they truly had been powerless.

The surgery had failed. Not even a great immortal could save her now.

Si Mingjing’s heart also skipped a beat.

The next instant, CLACK, CLACK, CLACK... With a flurry of urgent footsteps, Si Mingjing strode into the operating room.
