Life Support

"Who are the relatives of the patient?" The doctor emerged from the operating room and asked, while pulling his mask off from his face.

"Doctor! How is she?" Lu Ye Ze asked breathless.

"She is out of danger now, but due to the loss of blood, she is in a coma and we are uncertain when she will wake up!" The doctor continued.

He Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief, at least she was still alive, he looked at his master who seemed a bit more calm.

"Is it safe to see her?" The man asked.

"Once she is transferred to the recovery ward, short visits will be possible". Answered the doctor.

One week later, Jo still hadn't woke up. The doctor gave her a term of three months, if she doesn't recover by herself during this time, her condition would be considered irrecoverable and a decision needs to be made.

The girl had already been transferred to Beijing and admitted into a private hospital, under the sponsorship of LT Corporation. The new Madam Lu benefited of the upmost care and facilities. She was resting in a VIP suite, where her husband could watch over her 24/7.

The man was silently sitting in the armchair beside her bed, studying medical files of patients in similar condition, when a soft knock was heard at the door. The man signalled the nurse that was on duty to open the door. Shortly after, He Mufeng entered the room holding a file.

"Master we have found them in New Zeeland!" Said the man quietly.

You know what to do!" Replied Lu Ye Ze, expressionless.

He Mufeng raised an eyebrow and replied. "Yes Master!" He then exited the room and headed out accompanied by two other bodyguards. In the parking lot of the hospital, he made a few phone calls then he turned to face his men and said. "You are dismissed!" Then got in his car and left.

In Auckland, in an abandoned building, Lu Tang Xu and Su Ning, the uncle and aunt of Lu Ye Ze, were laying on the cold floor, in a pool of blood, along with their two children and a handful of their men.

Lu Shaoting was in his study, seated motionless in his leather chair. The news of his youngest son assassination, Lu Tang Xu, along with his family, came like a shock to him. After Lu Tang Xu's desperate call this morning, where he had pleaded for his help, he didn't expect Lu Ye Ze to take action faster than himself. The old man grew suspicious.

In the hospital room, Lu Ye Ze put the laptop away and got closer to the girl laying on the bed, the doctor had said, that due to the lack of oxygen in her brain from the little blood supply, it might have affected her brain. If she would wake up, there is a possibility of a severe disability or, if she doesn't wake up, she would remain in a vegetative state her whole life, until she is removed from life support. At the moment she wasn't even able to breathe on her own, she was connected to a machinery that made a horrible noise.

Lu Ye Ze took her thin pale hand and pulled it towards his lips, kissing her softly on the back of her hand. His eyes were closed, while his thoughts have travelled far, far away. He knew his latest action would bring some repercussions, so he had to be prepared. He had long established an elite team of fighters that no one knew about. He had gathered them all in China, awaiting for the next event to unfold.
