When he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become so hoarse. “Brother, why haven’t you woken up?”
Yi Long sighed and told him about Yi Zheng’s examination results.
Yi Che could only stare and not speak. His hands on his lap were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.
Shi Man’s gaze slid from his hand to his face and she said in a low voice, “Do you remember what happened to you?”
Yi Che’s hesitant gaze turned to her as he shook his head in panic. “1 don’t remember anything. I only remember that I was suddenly very tired when I was driving. I suddenly couldn’t open my eyes. When I opened them again, 1 was already in the hospital and my leg was like this.”
He gently stroked his bandaged legs with a pitiful expression.
Even though Yi Kun had gone overboard in the past, Yi Long still doted on his nephew. He took the initiative to pat his shoulder comfortingly. “Don’t be sad, Xiao Che. Uncle will definitely think of a way to treat your leg.”
“The problem now is Brother.” Yi Che looked at Yi Zheng with his watery eyes. Blood seeped out of his bitten lower lip. “Is there really no other way to wake Brother up?”
The doctor nodded firmly and said, “There’s no other way. Besides, we can’t guarantee that the patient will completely return to normal after the surgery. It might take a long time of maintenance.”
Yi Long frowned tightly. “But the Yi family can’t be without a backbone for a day. There are too many things to do in the company every day. We can’t delay it like this.”
Yi Che lowered his head in silence as if he was hesitating about something.
The room fell silent.
Just as Yi Long was hesitating if he should take charge of the company again, Yi Che suddenly looked up and said nervously, “Uncle, if you trust me, I can help share Brother’s responsibilities in the company’s matters during his treatment.”
Yi Long recalled what his father had said before he died and fell into a deep dilemma.
At that moment, the Old Master was only left with one breath, but he still insisted on letting everyone leave the room, leaving Yi Long alone.
He held his son’s hand and instructed weakly, “We can’t let your uncle touch the Yi family’s foundation, including his son, Yi Kun. If you feel bad, just give him a small company. The rest will be in your hands.”
Yi Che understood Yi Long’s concerns and continued, “Uncle, don’t worry. When Brother gets better, I will definitely return everything to him. I just hope that I can be a man at this time and stand up to bear the responsibility of the family. I don’t mean anything else.”
Yi Long frowned and thought carefully for a while.
Before Yi Cheng died, he only reminded him not to let the company be tainted by Yi Kun and Yi Ming. He did not say anything and did not explain the reason clearly, so he was conflicted.
Yi Che was still young. Even if his father and uncle had an irresolvable conflict back then, this should not be blamed on Yi Che.
If that was the case, handing it over to Yi Che was a good plan.
Just as he was about to agree, a lukewarm female voice suddenly broke the silence in the ward.
“Uncle Yi, Yi Zheng’s situation is unclear now, and the company’s matters need to be dealt with urgently. You’re the most familiar with the company’s matters, so it’s best to leave it to you.”
“But…” Lu Xiang looked at her husband worriedly and sighed.” Manman, you don’t know. Back then, the reason why your Uncle Yi handed the company to Yi Zheng so early was that he was not in good health and couldn’t stand overwork. H
Yi Che lowered his head and did not say anything. He quietly listened to the conversation and did not fight for himself.
Yi Long looked at his nephew, who was thinking for the family and sighed slightly. “Forget it. Let’s do as Yi Che says. He’ll be in charge of the company for the time being. I’ll help from the side. If Xiao Che has anything he doesn’t understand, feel free to come and ask me.”
Yi Che looked up in surprise, his silent eyes suddenly brightening. “Uncle, are you really willing to believe me?”
Seeing that this matter was about to become a foregone conclusion, Yi Che clenched his fists in ecstasy and tried his best to hide the excitement in his heart.
Before he could recover from his joy, a faint female voice behind him instantly pulled him into hell. “Xiao Che, you did a good job, but you were too anxious.”
Yi Che trembled violently and turned around in disbelief. “Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“It’s fine if you don’t understand, but there’s something you’ll understand after seeing it.” Shi Man slowly took out her phone and casually swiped the screen a few times. She found the sender box of the message and turned the screen in front of him with a smile. “Is this message familiar?”
“Yi Zheng can’t wake up anymore. Now is the best time to attack. If you miss it, you won’t have another chance.”
This short line of words exposed his ambition.
Yi Che’s pupils constricted, and his fingertips were cold. His blood seemed to have been sucked dry in an instant, and there was only one thought left in his blank mind.
He had been tricked!
