Xia Zhu heard something that made her legs weak, and she was about to collapse to the ground...
The crowd gasped, but they were too far from Xia Zhu, and could only watch her collapse.
"Hoo!"
Ye Hao used Instant Flash to leave a trail of afterimages and arrived at the podium, gracefully wrapping an arm around Xia Zhu's waist. Although he was puzzled about what happened to Xia Zhu, he didn't want her lying on the ground like that. After all, Xia Zhu was a beautiful teacher, how awkward would it be to sit on the ground in a short skirt? Moreover, it seemed something really happened at her home.
The crowd gasped again, no one expected Ye Hao's speed to be so fast. Even sprinting Liu Xiang might not reach such speed, right? How did Ye Hao do it?
Lin Ruyu was even more shocked because Ye Hao had just walked past her back; she only felt a gust of wind, and then Ye Hao appeared on the podium.
Ye Hao held Xia Zhu, and Xia Zhu glanced at Ye Hao. Although she didn't know why Ye Hao could arrive at the podium so quickly, she still picked up her phone and asked again, "Doctor, is it true that my mom needs to prepare for her final arrangements?"
The doctor's voice came from the other end of the call, "Yes, Miss Xia. However, if you come quickly, you might still see her for the last time."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhu became even more anxious, looked at Ye Hao hopefully and said, "Can you take me to the hospital?"
Ye Hao glanced at Lin Ruyu, and Lin Ruyu nodded.
Without hesitation, Ye Hao knew that in emergencies, there was no need for small talk, so he hurriedly said to Xue Zhaolong and the other two, "Help me take care of Ruyu and Su Qing."
Then, amidst the crowd's shock, Ye Hao jumped out of the window from the third floor, carrying Xia Zhu.
Ye Hao's actions startled everyone, and they quickly went to the window to look down, only to see a figure dragging a long trail of afterimages, rapidly disappearing from view.
"When did the boss become so fast?" stammered Lu Yunsong.
"I don't know, such fast speed..."
"So fast! Is it us who are too slow?"
The crowd was stunned as they watched Ye Hao's departing silhouette, but Lin Ruyu and Su Qing were even more anxious. The more outstanding Ye Hao was, the more they feared he would leave them.
After all, ultimately their relationship was merely that of bodyguards and employers.
Xia Zhu was held by Ye Hao; although she felt her body contact Ye Hao in many places, she couldn't think much about it. Because when Ye Hao jumped down holding her, she once thought she was doomed, that Ye Hao intended to perish together with her...
But as Ye Hao not only held her without dying but rushed quickly to the parking lot, she was shocked again. How fast was this speed? How strong must one be to jump from the third floor holding someone without dying?
Xia Zhu gave Ye Hao a serious look and found his face tinted with urgency, which made her feel gratified; this student did not let her care be in vain.
Ye Hao naturally hoped that nothing would happen to Xia Zhu's mother, although the doctor said to prepare for the final arrangements, Ye Hao believed that once he took action, her mother could definitely live for several more years.
Ye Hao brought Xia Zhu to Lin Ruyu's Lamborghini, quickly placed her inside, and then drove the car like an arrow within just three seconds.
The speed made Xia Zhu grip the co-driver's handle tightly, somewhat worriedly saying to Ye Hao, "Ye Hao, slow down a bit. I don't want you risking your life just for me to see my mom one last time."
"Stop the nonsense, which hospital is Auntie at?" Ye Hao glared at her, his speed continuing to soar.
"Pengyi Hospital." Xia Zhu felt warm seeing Ye Hao's eyes, not angry even though Ye Hao shouted at her.
"Qianqian, help me crank the speed to the limit, you drive to Pengyi Hospital." Ye Hao shouted at Qianqian.
Qianqian immediately took over Ye Hao's body, and the Lamborghini's speed instantly increased, 300...325...360...400...420...
A Lamborghini streaked through Peng City streets, all red, rapidly darting, slowing neither for turns nor traffic...
In a flash, various electronic eyes in Peng City snapped shots of Ye Hao's car's license plate, even many cars tried to follow him, hoping to snap some photos, exclusive news.
"Slow down, slow down." At this moment, Xia Zhu forgot about her mother's condition, only shouting for Ye Hao to slow down; otherwise, with so many cars on the road, a traffic accident was likely.
Ye Hao ignored her, normally taking an hour to reach Pengyi Hospital, now it only took ten minutes, Xia Zhu looked at Pengyi Hospital ahead, her heart pounding...
Qianqian controlled Ye Hao's body and did a beautiful drift from 200 meters away, entering a parking space sideways, a skill that shocked those who just arrived at Pengyi Hospital.
At the same time, two words floated in everyone's mind: "Amazing."
Ye Hao got out of the car and carried Xia Zhu on his back, rushing towards the hospital while asking, "Which building, which floor, which room?"
"Building Three, Tenth Floor, Room Eight." Xia Zhu knew Ye Hao was pushing himself to the limit, so she didn't say much and responded directly.
In an instant, Ye Hao, carrying Xia Zhu, arrived at Building Three. When he saw the elevator was going up, he headed to the emergency staircase, kicked open the door, and dashed up to the tenth floor at a speed of one floor per second...
Watching Ye Hao, Xia Zhu cried. She had never seen anyone push themselves so hard for her in her life, but this student of hers was using a superhuman speed to ensure she had no regrets.
"You don't have to push yourself so hard," said Xia Zhu, her eyes blurred with tears as she looked at Ye Hao.
Even though Ye Hao was exhausted like a dog, he forced himself to say, "I don't want someone to marry you in the future and get bullied by others, without your mother to protect you."
Ye Hao's words made Xia Zhu burst into tears; her grievances and heartaches all erupted at this moment as she hugged Ye Hao tightly.
Ye Hao let her cry, taking Xia Zhu to her mother's hospital room.
Two middle-aged men and several women stood outside the door. When they saw Xia Zhu being carried by someone, one of the men stepped forward and sneered, "Little sister, I didn't expect you to be this kind of woman. Mom's about to pass away, and you still have the mind to embrace other men. Don't even dream about the inheritance Mom left."
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao felt a surge of anger, feeling that Xia Zhu didn't deserve such relatives. How could they think about splitting the inheritance before their mother even passed away?
That wasn't the end of it; another one stepped forward and sneered, "Always claiming to be busy teaching, just busy fooling around with others, huh?"
Another sharp voice chimed in at this point, "I knew Mom cared for the wrong ingrate. Mom's about to die, and you still have the heart to cuddle with others."
Hearing their words, Xia Zhu, though visibly angry, still tried to explain, "Big brother, second sister, third brother, it's not like that. You've misunderstood."
"If it's not like that, then what is it?" Xia Zhu's second sister, Late Xia, snorted, casting a disdainful glance at Ye Hao, thinking that his attire was too lowly to be worthy of Xia Zhu.
"Alright, I want to see Mom; I don't want to argue with you." Xia Zhu detested these brothers and sisters; they were all ingrates, unwilling to spend a penny when their mother was sick, yet eager to divide her small inheritance now that she was dying.
"No need to see her. What's there to see? You're just trying to gain favor in front of Mom." Xia Zhu's eldest brother, Xia Dong, said with a gloomy expression.
"Xia Dong, I address you as big brother out of respect, but that doesn't give you the right to insult me." Xia Zhu asked Ye Hao to let her down.
However, Ye Hao had Qianqian scan Xia Zhu's mother. Qianqian said, "Master, the patient's condition is severe, with life force rapidly diminishing. She needs spiritual power nourishment. If large amounts of spiritual power are provided, it might stimulate her cells again, equivalent to a second human rebirth."
"Oh? And how long could a second rebirth let her live?" Ye Hao asked curiously.
"Twenty years."
"What? Twenty years? Does that mean anyone can have their cells stimulated twice for a second rebirth?" Ye Hao asked in confusion.
"Yes, Master, but it requires a large amount of spiritual power. With the current state of Earth, the spiritual power from one Luminos Pearl is enough."
"Alright, then let's go in and treat her!" Ye Hao then held Xia Zhu's hand, intending to go inside.
But Xia Zhu's eldest brother, Xia Dong, and the others stood together, blocking her from entering. Xia Zhu angrily shouted, "Don't you still see me as your younger sister? Is Mom about to pass away, and you won't even allow me to see her?"
As Xia Zhu spoke, she broke into sobs, overwhelmed by grief, wondering how she had such a family.
Xia Zhu's fifth brother, Xia Liu, did not step out to block her but said to Xia Dong, "Big brother, I remember our family wasn't like this before. Why has everything changed since you all got married and had children?"
Xia Liu's words were full of brotherly affection, but his heart ached; his sisters-in-law, second sister, and second brother-in-law were all too realistic.
Hearing this, Xia Dong, although slightly saddened, could only brace himself, remembering what his wife had instructed him.
"Teacher Xia, if I hit him, will you blame me?" Ye Hao asked at this point.
Xia Zhu knew Ye Hao was formidable, so she didn't dare let him hit anyone. She tried persuading them once again, but Xia Dong and Late Xia remained indifferent, allowing Xia Zhu to speak alone.
Xia Zhu felt deeply pained, contemplating severing ties with Xia Dong and the others, never to associate with them again in this life.
Ye Hao asked once more, "If we don't go in now, your mom will really be gone. Do you want me to take action?"
Ye Hao's words sparked a firm resolve in Xia Zhu, who then said, "Go easy on them."
Hearing this, Ye Hao clenched his fists as big as sandbags and, within three seconds, had made those blocking them bruised and swollen... (To be continued.
