Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Pig Brains Borrowed on a Small Loan
"How many more minutes until the rescue helicopter arrives?" the middle-aged doctor who was in charge of the rescue yelled loudly.
"The helicopter just took off, eight minutes!" someone responded.
The middle-aged doctor's face fell, eight minutes...
Old Sir Qin's heart had stopped beating for already two minutes now, and if they couldn't get it restarted before the helicopter arrived, it was likely that they wouldn't be able to save him at all.
"Prepare the adrenaline!"
Quickly, a syringe was handed to the middle-aged doctor.
Just as the middle-aged doctor was about to inject it, his arm was violently seized.
"What are you doing?!" the middle-aged doctor glared furiously.
The eyes of the Qin Family members also turned towards Lu Xiao, who had suddenly appeared.
"This injection might indeed kill the old man," Lu Xiao said calmly.
"Nonsense! What do you know! Let go of me, it's almost too late!" Zhai Tianmin almost bellowed, I'm going all out to save him, and you're causing trouble.
"Who the hell are you, get lost!" the Qin Family members also shouted angrily.
"Qin Youling, your boyfriend really is something, coming here and almost killing Old Sir Qin!"
"Qin Youling, Old Sir Qin has always protected you, are you really doing this?"
At that moment, Qin Youling also looked at Lu Xiao with a fierce gaze.
Grandfather's life is hanging by a thread, yet you won't let the doctors rescue him, what are you trying to do! What are you going crazy about!
Lu Xiao glanced at the Qin Family members who were ready to pounce, snatched the adrenaline syringe from Zhai Tianmin's hand, and violently threw it onto the ground.
"Bang!" the syringe shattered on impact.
The medicine inside the syringe flowed out, seeping into the bluestone tiles below.
The scene fell deathly silent, disbelief evident in everyone's eyes.
Zhai Tianmin, coming to his senses, bulged his eyes out in round fury. He almost went mad.
That adrenaline was Old Sir Qin's lifesaver.
This injection might have given him an eighty percent chance of reviving Old Sir Qin's heart.
But now, it was all over.
It's not like there is no stock, the Qin Family had their own pharmacy, but to get another meant at least five minutes delay.
In Old Sir Qin's current condition, there simply wasn't enough time.
"He's committing murder!"
"Quick, restrain him."
"Call the police immediately," Zhai Tianmin pointed at Lu Xiao, his voice shaking with anger.
Zhai Tianmin's scolding also snapped the others back to their senses.
"Not just this man, capture Qin Youling too! I'm now seriously suspecting that Qin Youling is the mastermind!"
"Qin Youling, you ingrate, Old Sir Qin treated you so well, and this is how you repay him?"
"You two, just wait to rot in jail!"
"Let's all beat them up first."
The crowd began to get restless, especially the young ones who had already started looking around for "weapons."
Watching the Qin Family members, inflamed with anger, a trace of disdain crossed Lu Xiao's face.
These words, you all really have the nerve to say them!
If Old Sir Qin were alive, he'd undoubtedly have stood by Qin Youling's side, helping her to take control of the Qin Family.
With the old man dead, Qin Youling would be all alone in the Qin Family, no longer a threat.
You all are much more suspicious of murdering Old Qin than Qin Youling is.
"All of you shut your mouths. With me here, your family patriarch won't die," Lu Xiao spoke plainly, his confidence resounding strongly.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became eerie. Those who had been ready to act also halted in their tracks.
Many even rolled their eyes...
Where on earth did Qin Youling find such an idiot?
With you here, Old Sir Qin won't die?
What gave you the courage to say such a thing?
Didn't you see that the entire family medical team was at a loss?
Do you know who the head of the medical team, Zhai Tianmin, is? He's the youngest honorary director in the history of the Hai City First Renmin Hospital and one of the top medical experts in the country! His medical skills are also among the best internationally!
At that moment, Zhai Tianmin was slightly taken aback and looked at Lu Xiao with more scrutiny.
Lu Xiao appeared far too composed and unruffled.
That kind of assurance isn't easy to feign.
"Are you a doctor?" Zhai Tianmin suddenly asked Lu Xiao.
The expressions of the Qin Family members also underwent subtle changes upon hearing Zhai Tianmin's question.
Why would he ask that? Could it be that he suspects Qin Youling's boyfriend is a doctor?
But even if he is a doctor, what good would it do? The Qin Family's medical team is already helpless, and this young man is only in his twenties; how capable could he be!
"No, I'm a soldier, just returned from active duty," Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders.
Zhai Tianmin's face twitched, and pointing at Lu Xiao, he became so angry he could hardly speak.
Being a soldier, then what the hell are you arguing with me about, saying you can save people?
As for the members of the Qin Family, their contemptuous gaze returned.
"Thought you were something else, just a dimwit soldier throwing around big talk!"
"If you can really save Old Sir Qin, I'll perform a handstand on a spinning ceiling fan."
"You? Save Old Sir Qin? I think you should first rescue that pea-brained head of yours financed by a payday loan!"
The hall was filled with scornful voices.
Lu Xiao looked around at these disdainful faces and suddenly felt some sympathy for Qin Youling.
The title of Miss Qin might sound glamorous, but beneath the veneer were sharp knives and blades everywhere.
"You all seem like you don't want your family patriarch to pull through at all. Are you just waiting for the old man to breathe his last?" Lu Xiao sneered.
"Nonsense!"
"What rubbish you're spouting."
"Stop wasting words with him, have you got the rope yet? Just tie him up!"
Many from the Qin Family jumped up as if they had their tails stepped on.
Lu Xiao shook his head; a bunch of cowards, all mouth and no bite, screaming about beating me, tying me, killing me, but till now not one has dared to step forward.
And to think this is a big family; even the most ordinary family, seeing what I've done, would have recklessly fought me to the death.
"Alright, keep the CPR going, everyone else stand back," Lu Xiao stepped forward, rolling up his sleeves to get started.
We can't really let this old man die.
What if Old Qin knew about the origin of that jade pendant Qin Youling has? If he dies, wouldn't that lead go cold?
