Chapter 180: A frightening dilemma for the family !
"Bye ", Rong Xinghe was about to disconnect the call but Daniel quickly pleaded to her ,"No-no... wait ! This is a life and death situation ! "
"What is it ?! ", Rong Xinghe yelled.
Daniel quickly switched his phone camera and a young woman sitting by the bar appeared on Rong Xinghe's screen ,"I want to hook up with her tonight. Tell me some killer pickup line to impress her !"
Of course , this was the 'life and death' situation. Moron !
"Take the glass of wine she has just ordered to her and say ,'I deliver your wine , you deliver my baby ' Hmm ? ", Rong Xinghe remarked sarcastically.
"Okay ! Sorry for irritating you earlier. Please be serious.", Daniel sighed. This girl was really short-tempered.
Rong Xinghe took a deep breath and said ," Go and sit beside her. Make small talk to her first. She will ask you what your pickup line was. That is when you smirk at her , look into her eyes and say ,'You are so beautiful that I forgot my pickup line' Got it ? "
"Are you sure about this ?!", Daniel scratched his head confusedly.
"Go ahead , Daniel."
Daniel nodded and handed his phone over to his friend before following the girl's indication. And to his shock , every single thing happened according to Rong Xinghe's script. The woman asked him about his pickup line and when he repeated Rong Xinghe's words , the woman blushed.
The woman even herself passed the duplicate key of her hotel room to him before exiting the bar shyly.
"How do you even do it ?!", Daniel asked in amazement to Rong Xinghe.
"I am Lu Xi , the pervert Lu Xi. My experience speaks. You go and enjoy the night. I have work.", Rong Xinghe finally ended the call .
Well... That was true. Lu Xi was indeed skilled with wooing women by his charms. Rong Xinghe had also helped Su Rogguang and Lu Wei impress Ching Tong and Ningtao.
Rong Xinghe was a lady of propriety but Lu Xi , her male identity was a ladykiller and a heartthrob!

In the evening , Rong Xinghe was sitting in her office reading some documents related to Zhi Corporation when her phone rang up.
"Military Chief ! Please reach Military Sanatorium as soon as possible.", one of Rong Xinghe's subordinates said with traces of anxiety in his tone.
Rong Xinghe pinched the space between her brows ," What's wrong , Officer Chu ?"
" Boss , Mr. Lu Wei and Mrs. Ningtao have just met with an accident. I am currently in the ambulance with them. I am afraid that the baby in Mrs. Lu's womb... ", the soldier hesitated to say any further.
But as soon as Rong Xinghe heard the word 'accident' , an unknown fear spread across her heart. Just yesterday , everything was fine. She was even teasing Ningtao and Lu Wei about how tiring it would be for them to handle the baby , but today...
How did things turned out to be like this suddenly?!
Rong Xinghe got up from her seat and headed towards her car ,"How is the situation currently ?"
"Both Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu are unconscious. The accident was quite destructive and massive. Even Mr. Lu's security staff were harmed pretty badly.", officer Chu replied.
"Who the f*ck was behind this ?!", Rong Xinghe clenched her teeth as she drove out her car from the office premises.
"I don't know the name of the attacker , Boss. But he had also fainted and it seemed like he was drunk. So we are taking him to the hospital as well. You can deal with him when you come here.", Officer Chu informed.
Rong Xinghe disconnected the call and quickly got in contact with Su Rogguang ,"I want the best gynecologists in Country X in 15 minutes at Military Sanatorium. Anyone you know ?", Rong Xinghe directly came to the point.
"Ching Tong is currently the best but she won't be back from abroad for few more days. I have another friend , though. What's wrong ?", Su Rogguang was sitting in front of a patient when he received the call.
"Tell your friend to report to Military Sanatorium as soon as possible. Sis-in-law Ningtao and Bro Lu have met with an accident just now.", Rong Xinghe quickly explained.
Su Rogguang took some seconds to digest the news but as soon as he came back to his senses , he reassured the girl and hung up the phone. He then excused himself from the patient and contacted every influential medical personality in country X he was acquainted with.

When Rong Xinghe reached the hospital , she was informed that Ningtao was taken into Operation Theatre and that the accident was so fatal that the baby needed to be delivered as soon as possible. Unfortunately , Ningtao could not give birth normally anymore because she was injured and unconscious and waiting any longer could put both the baby and mother's life in danger.
On the other hand , Lu Wei's torso was hit in the clash and a lot of blood had flowed through his body as well. But he was out of danger and could get back his consciousness at anytime. He was shifted into a private ward and Zhi Xi and Zhi Bo were by his side.
Soon , Su Rogguang's close friend , who was a skilled obstetrician , approached Rong Xinghe after diagnosing Ningtao ,"Military Chief. I am afraid that we will have to go for Caesarian operation. The patient is in quite a weak state. Also , this surgery is going to be very complex. There are chances that we might be able to protect only the mother or child. Since Mr. Lu is unable to take a decision currently , you will have to decide as the closest person to the patient.
"I will try my best to save both the mother and the child. But if the worse case scenario takes place , whom should I save ? Mother or the baby ?"
Rong Xinghe was in a dilemma. She never expected the things to get to this point. She was eagerly waiting for this baby. The entire family was waiting for it. But Ningtao was someone they could never hurt. After all , Ningtao was all that Lu Wei wanted. To him , no one was more important than his wife. Moreover , she loved her sister-in-law as well.
Rong Xighe took a deep breath and finally looked at the elderly lady doctor ,"Go ahead and save the mother if situation gets out of hand. Ningtao is akin to oxygen to my brother. He will die without her."
The surgeon was taken aback by Rong Xinghe's decision. In most of the cases , it had always been the baby that the families prioritized. After all , they cared about their descendants more. But the firmness in this woman's eyes provided an unknown determination and courage to her. She would try her last bit of skill to save both the mother and baby now.
As soon as the obstetrician entered the O.T. , a tear rolled down Rong Xinghe's cheek. This was not what Ningtao deserved. Why was this happening to her brother and sister-in-law ?
After sometime , Officer Chu approached Rong Xinghe and she wiped away her tears. After some moments of silence , Rong Xinghe clenched her fists ,"Did you got the name of the attacker ?"
Officer Chu nodded and passed the driving license papers , retrieved from the car that had clashed with Lu Wei's car , to Rong Xinghe.
Rong Xinghe's palm sweated the moment she read the name of the driver ,"Zhou Che" !
