Chapter 1559 I’m Sorry, We Did Our Bes
Their breakthrough point was Guan Queye’s mental instability. If a patient’s mental illness relapsed, the patient would be capable of anything.
Guan Queye’s current situation definitely wasn’t looking optimistic. No one could guarantee whether she was in her right frame of mind or not. Hence, the greatest breakthrough point depended on her.
“The latest news that I received was that Guan Queye is currently still in the ICU, and her life is still at risk. If she’s able to wake up and recovers well, the situation will turn for the better. However, if she’s unable to wake up…”
“The dead cannot bear witness,” Li Jinnan stated with a somber expression. “Hence, we can only pray that she will wake up.”
“The Guan family has a very high status. Guan Yanhong has regular interactions with the government. Furthermore, the Capital is where his headquarters are located. Over here, very few actions will be able to escape their notice.” Lawyer Ye’s face was grim as he continued. “Rong Rui is an old friend of mine. I will do my best. Judging from the current situation, Guan Yanhong isn’t weak at all. Over the many years in the real estate industry, he has accumulated a lot of power. His only weakness is probably his daughter.”
Li Jinnan suddenly laughed when he heard what the lawyer said. “Do you mean to say that my Li family is no match for the Guan family?”
“A sea dragon cannot defeat a land Cobra,” Lawyer Ye said. “Third Young Master, this is the Capital.”
Li Jinnan’s expression grew grave. The lawyer’s words made sense. He took a deep breath and asked, “So, what do we do now?”
“Wait and see.”

Ci’an Hospital in the Capital
In the intensive care unit, a plethora of doctors and nurses suddenly rushed in. The heart-monitor began to beep urgently in warning. The golden window of 48 hours that the doctors spoke of had passed.
Just a few minutes ago, Guan Queye’s heart monitor had sent out a warning, causing everyone to go into a flurry of activity.
Guan Yanhong stayed the door. His eyes were red. With his fist to his mouth, he paced back and forth.
Slowly, the beeping from the machine inside stopped. Guan Yanhong looked up and peered in. His tears came gushing out. He crouched down on the floor and began wailing in earnest.
A middle-aged man wailing aloud was a very conspicuous scene. Many bystanders looked over. Guan Yanhong did not realize the sight his loss of control brought. His cries were unrestrained, loud, and sorrowful.
Secretary Xiao Xu stood by the side, at a loss as how to console her boss. She looked at Guan Yanhong’s image, which was mighty and weak at the same time, and tried to helplessly console him. “The doctors aren’t out yet. Don’t worry…”
The door to the room suddenly opened. A few doctors and nurses pushed a hospital bed out. The figure on the bed had been covered with a white cloth.
When Xiao Xu witnessed the scene, she silently bit her tongue. Her heart ached. She almost burst out in sobs.
The doctor removed his mask. His face was awash with regret and sorrow. With a deep bow, he said, “I’m sorry. We did our best.”
Crumbled on the ground, Guan Yanhong wailed. Xiao Xu stepped forward to help him up.
Xiao Xu led Guan Yanhong forward to peel the white cloth back, only to reveal Guan Queye’s ashen face.
This is my daughter, whose face was originally been filled with happiness! This was supposed to be the day she got married and became someone’s wife! How did someone just poison her?
The more Guan Yanhong wept, the more sorrowful it became. His head suddenly tilted up. His strong body tumbled backward, and he fell back.
My daughter is gone…
