Lu Xing said with a solemn expression, "Mr. Yan, Tang Zhongcheng was just in a car accident. He was sent to the hospital but unfortunately passed away after resuscitation efforts failed."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jue's face turned grim.
Life is unpredictable. Who could have imagined that just after Zhang Meiyu's incident, Tang Zhongcheng would die in a car crash?
After a long silence, Yan Jue finally spoke.
"For now, don't let Xiao Min know. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to bear it."
"Mr. Yan, Tang Zhongcheng must have had the accident on his way here. I happened to be passing by downstairs and saw him being rushed to the hospital."
"I was considering that Miss Tang's mother was undergoing surgery. I thought I would inform Miss Tang after Mr. Tang Zhongcheng's condition stabilized. I didn't expect he wouldn't make it."
"I also know something very important: the heart that Ms. Zhang is currently receiving for transplant was donated by Tang Zhongcheng."
!!!
Even Yan Jue, who was known for his cold-bloodedness, was shocked by this news.
"Are you saying Tang Zhongcheng deliberately sacrificed himself to donate his heart to Zhang Meiyu?"
Such an act was too heroic; a normal person would never do it.
Although Lu Xing was reluctant to believe it, the facts he had uncovered so far pointed to this conclusion.
"Mr. Yan, I also discovered that Tang Zhongcheng signed organ donation documents not long ago. It seems he had everything arranged. As soon as he had the accident, his heart was immediately donated to Ms. Zhang. They were a perfect match."
Arranged everything...
Yan Jue recalled Tang Zhongcheng's words when Zhang Meiyu fainted earlier: "There's still a chance, believe me."
No wonder he defied Zhang Meiyu's wish to go home and insisted on sending her to the hospital.
At the time, Yan Jue had only thought that Tang Zhongcheng couldn't bear to watch Zhang Meiyu leave and was stubbornly insisting on sending her to the hospital for emergency treatment.
He never imagined it would lead to such an outcome.
"Mr. Yan, this matter can't be kept secret for long. They will find out eventually. As family, they have the right to know," Lu Xing said with concern.
Yan Jue lit a cigarette and took a few drags, contemplating the situation. Su Dan Novel Network.
Tang Zhongcheng might have made mistakes and repented many times, even becoming a monk.
At the time, Yan Jue had dismissed him as hypocritical and unreasonable.
Yet, such a man with a checkered past had sacrificed himself heroically to save Zhang Meiyu.
This spirit was truly worthy of admiration.
"Mr. Yan, what should we do?"
What to do? What else could be done?
Such a heroic man was indeed worthy of being his father-in-law.
"Let's keep it under wraps for now. I'll find a suitable time to tell them later. Tang... bring the deceased, Father-in-law, back to Xianfu Group and preserve him properly so they can have a proper farewell."
"Yes."
After Lu Xing left, Yan Jue finished his cigarette before returning to Tang Xiaomin's side.
As before, everyone was pacing anxiously outside the operating room.
At this moment, Tang Yan was the first to notice Tang Zhongcheng's absence. His anxiety turned into anger, and he began to grumble.
"Mom is in surgery, and it's been so long. Who knows how she's doing. Dad isn't even here. I really don't understand what he's thinking."
"He always claimed he only had Mom in his heart, yet he cheated. Earlier, at the hotel, he insisted on sending Mom to the hospital, and now he's not here. What a scumbag!"
Everyone knew whether Tang Zhongcheng was a scumbag or not.
If he wasn't, their family wouldn't be in such a mess.
However, dwelling on it now would only add to their troubles and be meaningless.
"Mom is still in surgery, so you should say less. Are you not causing enough trouble already?" Tang Yu said.
His words, instead of calming Tang Yan, only made him angrier.
"Is what I'm saying wrong? What he did was not the act of a decent person. Disloyal and unjust, he has committed all sins. If heaven had eyes, it would be him lying in the operating room now, not Mom, this poor soul."
"If Mom doesn't make it this time, I will never forgive him!"
Tang Yan's eyes radiated a mixture of madness and danger. He clearly wasn't speaking out of mere impulse.
"Enough, Tang Yan. No one wanted Mom to end up like this. Even if you confront Dad, it won't change anything. When will the cycle of revenge end?"
After experiencing so much, Tang Yu only wished for everyone's safety and peace.
Tang Yan suddenly stepped forward and angrily questioned Tang Yu.
"Brother, why are you defending Dad so much? What benefits did Dad give you to buy you over, making you think so highly of him? Tell us all."
"What price was it that made you unable to distinguish right from wrong, disregard Mom's life and death?"
"You..."
Tang Yu was already anxious, and Tang Yan's insults further enraged him. He retaliated with a furious punch to Tang Yan's face, sending him to the ground.
"You've lost your mind. Let me help you sober up."
Tang Yan turned around, glaring furiously at Tang Yu.
"You dare hit me! It seems I was right. You're embarrassed, aren't you?"
"Since that's the case, I will seek justice for Mom today."
Tang Yan got up and aggressively swung his fists at Tang Yu. Soon, they were fighting.
"What are you all doing? It's not appropriate to be fighting at a time like this. Stop it!" Tang Ye stepped forward and shouted.
It was better when these brothers didn't fight; once they started, they were relentless.
Clearly, Tang Ye's scolding had no effect.
In fact, his intervention only made Tang Yan and Tang Yu fight more fiercely, like sworn enemies. Tang Yan's mouth was already bleeding.
Tang Ye had no choice but to grab Tang Yu from behind, trying to pull him away.
However, Tang Yan seized this opportunity and landed several heavy punches on Tang Yu.
Then, Tang Ye also unfortunately took a punch to the face, causing him to let go in pain.
With his grip loosened, Tang Yu broke free and continued to fight Tang Yan.
The scene descended into chaos.
Tang Xiaomin, sitting nearby, watched the spectacle expressionlessly, saying nothing.
Suddenly, she stood up, then knelt before a hospital wall, clasping her hands in prayer.
"Wall God, please bless my mother's surgery to be successful. In the future, I, Tang Xiaomin, will perform many good deeds and give back to society."
"Wall God, please bless."
"Bless..."
Yan Jue, knowing everything, felt utterly speechless and couldn't bear to watch their continued antics.
He strode forward and, with two swift punches, knocked out Tang Yu and Tang Yan.
"How could you..."
Tang Ye was terrified and rushed forward to check on Tang Yu and Tang Yan.
"They've both passed out. Now they can't fight anymore."
Tang Ye nodded, a little sheepishly. "They can't fight anymore, but is this method of breaking up a fight a bit too brutal?"
"Do you have a better way?" Yan Jue retorted.
