Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 420 The Demise of the Si Family (8)

On the phone screen, Yan Lan, wearing a white medical mask, only showed half of her face.

Madam Qin was still squinting to make out the figure, and Qin Shengsheng also felt that the figure was vaguely familiar, and she was not able to come back to her senses for a moment.

The two little ones on the sofa, however, seemed to have radar installed. Xiao Xi clapped her chubby little hands and jumped up first, her sweet, childish voice filling the room with warmth: "Mommy! It's Mommy!"

Chaochao nodded in agreement, her little fists clenched tightly, her eyes shining brightly: "It's Mommy! I recognize the pen in Mommy's hand!"

"This is Doctor X? He's so young!"

"Could the mask I'm wearing be a fake?"

"A reporter just asked me a professional question, and the PhD answered it in incredibly detail!"

"Absolutely the real person! No one can fake it this well!"

"Why is Dr. X in the capital? Has something happened to the governor?"

More and more viewers flocked in, with the number of people in the live stream soaring by tens of thousands per second, and even the phone screens began to get slightly hot.

But Qin Shi had no interest in these things; his gaze was fixed on the familiar figure on the screen.

Yan Lan spoke calmly, her hand holding the pen steady as if she hadn't been disturbed at all, but he understood her too well.

The more composed she appeared, the more perilous her situation was; the slightest misstep could lead to utter ruin.

His heart was pounding in his chest, and he dared not even breathe too heavily.

In the Zhoufu, Si Chu stared at the faint light emanating from the tip of the pen in Dr. X's hand, his face already so gloomy it could drip water.

He hurriedly stuffed the pistol into his suit pocket, staring intently at the cell phone that Liu Jinnian handed him.

The barrage of comments in the live stream was still going up like crazy, and every comment like "Support Dr. X" or "Feel sorry for the Chief" felt like a needle pricking his heart.

Bai Lin stood to the side, her face gloomy.

She never imagined that the pen in Yan Lan's hand could not only record audio and broadcast live, but also mobilize such a large amount of public opinion.

The entire internet is watching this. Forget about taking action against Dr. X, even if we raise our voices, we might be criticized. All our previous plans have been disrupted!

"Dr. X! How is the Governor?"

"How is the governor doing?"

"Doctor, please tell us quickly, don't make everyone worry!"

"Singapore cannot be without a continental governor!"

In the live stream, viewers bombarded the screen with their questions.

Yan Lan slowly raised her eyes, her gaze first sweeping over Si Chu's tense face, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

Holding a pen, she slowly turned the camera toward the hospital bed.

The pen lens has extremely high resolution; even the governor's pale face can be seen clearly.

The governor was clearly surprised that the pen was a live-streaming device. He paused for a moment, then looked at Yan Lan with surprise in his eyes, and a hint of barely perceptible worry in them.

He knew that the doctor was doing this to protect him, but it also put him in a more dangerous situation.

"Chief Governor," Yan Lan's tone remained relaxed, as if chatting with an old friend, only her fingers gripping the pen tightened slightly, "the entire internet is worried about you right now. Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"

The moment the camera focused on the governor, the live stream chat exploded, with comments flooding the screen so fast it almost froze into a static image.

"My God! The governor is awake!"

"Your complexion is poor, but your spirits are good!"

"Was the previous claim of being critically ill just a rumor?"

"Dr. X is amazing! He saved the governor!"

"Please take good care of your health, Chief!"

"Singapore needs you!"

"Apologize immediately if you spread rumors!"

A mix of emotions—sympathy, relief, and praise—surged, with some even spontaneously chanting "May the governor be safe and healthy." The platform had to temporarily add servers to keep it running and prevent it from crashing.

The governor looked at the camera, took a slow breath, his voice still a little weak but exceptionally clear: "Hello everyone, I'm sorry to have worried you all during this time."

He paused after saying that, his eyes softening as if he were looking through a camera lens at long-lost friends. "And my old brothers, I miss you all so much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Chu immediately stepped forward, forcing a concerned look on his face, but his tone was undeniably firm.

"Chief, you've just recovered and are still weak. You shouldn't overwork yourself."

As he spoke, he glared at Dr. X with a menacing look, a look that suggested he should refrain from causing trouble.

Then, he turned to the other person, his tone full of politeness, but every word seemed to be wrapped in ice: "Dr. X, thank you so much this time! Now that the governor is alright, you must be tired after working so hard these past few days. Why don't you have my men escort you out so you can get some rest?"

He emphasized the word "you" (您), making his unspoken meaning all too clear.

Only you, Dr. X, can leave; the governor must stay.

Tens of millions of eyes were watching in the live broadcast room. He dared not touch Yan Lan, but as long as the governor was still in his hands, even if he woke up, he would still be a puppet under his control of Xingzhou. His previous plans would not be affected in the slightest!

In the apartment, Mrs. Qin suddenly leaned close to the screen, staring intently at the doctor.

Her fingers gripped the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling slightly: "This...this really is Lanlan? But how could she be Dr. X?"

The barrage of comments in the live stream had already flooded in like a tidal wave, instantly covering the screen and making it almost impossible to see the image clearly.

Qin Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "Thank goodness, it's good that my sister-in-law got out safely."

Qin Shi nodded, the worry in his eyes lessening somewhat, but Qin Shi's brows furrowed even more.

He knew Si Chu's character all too well; he would never let go so easily. If Yan Lan really went with his men, who knew what dangers she might encounter.

The governor in the ward also understood Si Chu's implied meaning. His heart sank, and he deliberately raised his voice towards the camera.

"Doctor, we really owe you a lot this time. The medical community is waiting for you to overcome more challenges. You should go back now. I'll take care of things here, don't worry."

He wanted the doctor to use the excuse of "the public watching" to get away quickly, even if it meant staying behind himself, he couldn't let her get stuck here.

But Yan Lan didn't move. Her hand holding the pen paused slightly, and the corners of her mouth under the mask were pursed into a straight line.

How could she possibly leave him alone?

Si Chu's intentions were obvious. If she left, the governor would be watched even more closely, and it would be extremely difficult to save him in the future.

She slowly raised her eyes, looking directly at Si Chu, her tone still calm, but with an undeniable firmness: "There's no need to see me out."

As she spoke, she turned the pen lens back to the governor, saying, "The public cares about the governor's health and naturally wants to know if the governor can get a stable environment to recuperate."

Secretary-General Si, why don't we take the Governor to a reputable hospital for a full checkup? That way, everyone can have complete peace of mind.

Upon hearing this, Si Chu's face instantly turned ashen, and the ruthlessness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Dr. X actually wanted to take the governor with him! He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. If the live stream hadn't been on, he would have rushed up and smashed that annoying pen to pieces!
