Kaka was transferred to the ICU, with tubes inserted all over his body. These cold machines kept him alive. Bai Ye was the world's top doctor, an expert in surgical procedures across various medical fields. However, regarding Kaka’s condition, Bai Ye announced that he currently had no solution and could only strive to keep Kaka alive. Due to the intense battle and collisions, Kaka had developed a heart problem. Additionally, his head hit the ground during the fall, causing transient ischemic attack leading to brain death—essentially, turning him into a vegetative state. Furthermore, he suffered from a recurrence of his heart disease. These two complicated surgeries Bai Ye hadn't performed before, and he feared something could go wrong if he did so without a proper treatment plan; thus, for now, all he could do was keep Kaka alive.

If there were any unexpected situations during the process, Bai Ye indicated that he might be unable to handle them. Su Man is also a doctor, but his expertise lies in viruses rather than surgery, so he could only provide technical support regarding artificial hearts and couldn't replace Bai Ye in performing surgeries on Kaka. After leaving the emergency room for treatment, fortunately it was just scratches and not severe, but due to excessive blood loss, he needed plenty of rest.

Chu Li and Rong Yan accepted Kaka's condition. In fact, since they learned that Kaka wasn't healthy from the start, they had mentally prepared themselves for his departure at any time; thus, there weren't dramatic reactions. They didn’t hide this information from Wu Shuang either because it was impossible to keep such significant news under wraps with so many people around.

They decided to tell her directly and give Wu Shuang a heads-up.

Facing the critical condition of Kaka, Wu Shuang bore the news with remarkable resilience. The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice for Kaka, who was at constant risk. Rong Yan expected Wu Shuang might break down or become depressed upon receiving such bad news, worrying that she would faint from shock. However, Wu Shuang turned out to be much stronger than imagined and became even more resolute after learning of Kaka's critical state and Bai Ye’s helplessness.

She didn’t shed tears nor act hysterically; instead, she fully cooperated with the doctor's instructions, eating well and getting enough rest. She diligently adjusted her health condition, becoming quieter but otherwise appearing completely normal as usual.

Rong Yan was pleasantly surprised by this resilient Wu Shuang. It reminded her of their younger selves. Back then, when Chu Li had been shot over twenty times and received six critical condition notices in a day, the more she worried, the calmer she became. Despite being seriously injured herself, she calmly nurtured her health; only once she was well could Chu Li relax his mind, allowing them to go through all deathly farewells together.

Six years ago, she still vividly remembers her feelings from that time. Now, Wushuang has stirred up those deep memories in her mind. What they must be thinking is probably the same, right Wushuang was even more anxious to recover her body because there was their child inside of her; this baby meant more to Wushuang than her own life.

Kaka's critical condition could not be reversed; Mo Ye and Mo Que were dealing with the Mafia mess while assisting the police. Ye Tianyu's whereabouts were unknown, Ye Ningyuan had gone to the Middle East, Zhou Muhan was injured. The First Terrorist Organization was temporarily taken over by Bruno. Chu Li, Xiao Tie, and Jason met at the hospital. Apart from their wives being shocked a little bit, everyone else was unharmed, as were their children.

However, even so, they carried an atmosphere of ruthlessness about them.

Jason sneered coldly, "I’ve been out of the江湖for almost twenty years now. It looks like I have to get back in it. People on the streets thought we were a bunch of sick cats and dared to use guns on our turf."

They simply couldn't live with this.

Chu Li sneered coldly, too. The Mafia's information network within Mo Family Castle was still intact, but the castle itself had turned into a wasteland that would take half a year to rebuild. A place as idyllic as paradise had been destroyed like that, and with subordinates dying or getting injured, family members going missing, loved ones in critical condition, everyone's rage flared up, waiting for them to find who was responsible so they could bring about their ultimate downfall.

Even the government wouldn't be spared this time.

Temporarily replacing Kaka as the leaders of the First Terrorist Organization, Chu Li, Jason, and Xiao Tie returned to the江湖. Bruno hurried back to London on the day it happened, taking along Qinglong, Baitu, and Xuanwu since he feared something might happen due to no one being left behind at headquarters while they attended Kaka’s and Wushuang’s wedding. Under Chu Li's instructions, he quickly returned there. With a complete intelligence network in place and the Mafia's Italian intelligence network cooperating, it didn't take long for them to uncover the truth.

Mu Chen couldn't face Gu Baobao. Shiyi tried his best but didn't find Linlin's body. The car was abandoned near a landfill area outside the city. The landfill processed and incinerated garbage from 2 PM onwards, and there were bloodstains on the car that were identified as belonging to Linlin. There were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity, so Shiyi deduced that someone had thrown Linlin's body into the landfill to destroy evidence.

The location was close to an incineration plant, making it convenient for disposing of a corpse. This news shattered Mu Chen's heart once again; he couldn't bear to think about how Linlin might have been discarded among garbage and burned.

Shiyi was already devastated by this information, let alone Mu Chen who was nearly driven to despair and self-hatred. He had barely managed to envision a future with a family, but now all hope seemed lost.

Since waking up, Gu Baobao hadn't uttered a word. SenSen and MuMu remained silent, steadfastly by Gu Baobao's side. Despite teaching the children well, they were recovering from their shock quickly, whereas Gu Baobao herself had broken down completely, lying motionless like an abandoned rag doll with no words or gestures, leaving Mu Chen unable to approach.

Mumu glared coldly at the despondent Mu Chen and gave him a single sentence: "You won't get our forgiveness unless you bring Linlin back."

Mu Chen bore the greatest responsibility for Linlin's death, even though it was an accident. A five-year-old child who was lively and full of energy suddenly gone without any reason—it was too much to bear. When people are in extreme pain, they often want someone else to pay the price for their tragedy.

Mu Chen waited helplessly outside Gu Baobao's hospital room but couldn't see her even once.

The little nurse tried to give Bai Ye an injection several times but failed as his veins were too thin and hard to locate. She was a beginner after all, whereas Bai Ye remained extremely gentle and did not get angry; Su Man silently dismissed the little nurse from the side. He then personally gave Bai Ye the injection. A smile appeared at the corner of Bai Ye’s lips for the first time since the incident. Was Su Man concerned that he had been abused by the inexperienced nurse

Su Man frowned and took alcohol and cotton swabs to clean his bloodied arm, intending to apply medicine before stitching it up. Suddenly, Bai Ye held onto his hand, "Su Man, give me a kiss."

Su Man narrowed his eyes at him; ten years on, the smile on Bai Ye’s face remained gentle and calm like the breeze, “I need strength.”

A few flushes crept up Su Mei’s ears. Sunlight filtered in from the windows, warm like a breeze. Su Man lowered his head slightly and kissed Bai Ye's lips lightly.

Hold your hand, grow old together with you.

No matter when, I will always be by your side.
