Chapter 26 - Run Out of Luck!

* * *

Laotian had never been so terrified his whole life when he saw the car Daniel was in almost flipped at the impact. His heart sunk as he desperately runs towards the car, he clearly saw Daniel from a distance unconscious and covered with blood. Laotian almost couldn't believe what just happened until he's 3 meters away from the disfigured car. His hands trembled. He hurriedly pulls off the broken door and caresses Daniel's unconscious body.

Afraid that the two cars would explode, Laotian carefully lifted Daniel out and walked a few meters away from the area. People from the restaurant and other establishments were already gathering and called for the ambulance. For the first in his life, Laotian was in a panic, he didn't know what to do. There was blood everywhere. He didn't even realize Tian Zi was calling him.

Tian Zi was very confused as to why the man suddenly risked his own life and crash his own car into his brother's car when both clearly saw that Laotian went out to the restaurant. Tian Zi knew his brother had a lot of enemies and he knew his brother could handle all of them without breaking a sweat but now that Laotian has Daniel, he didn't anticipate things would go this way. That Daniel would be the target of their resentment.

The ambulance quickly arrived and was fast to act. They took the patients to the hospital with Mo Laotian still on dazed. He watched the rescuer do something to his beloved wife then saying things he currently didn't hear and understand.

" Older brother, get a hold of yourself. He's gonna be fine. " Laotian watch Tian Zi confused how his younger brother who he hadn't seen for 6 months is beside him now but he couldn't say anything as he rubs his face on his palms. He never prayed before but for Daniel, he would ask the Gods to spare his life, he would willingly bargain all that he has for it.

Tian Zi pats his eldest brother's back and watched his brother-in-law currently being covered with blood. He was worried that even if the Omega survived, the baby wouldn't.

At the hospital.

The doctor approached Laotian and Tian Zi to explain everything that might happen to the patient and to sign a waiver.

" Mr. Mo we will try the best that we can to save both the patient and the baby but I must inform you in advance that the percentage where the baby survives is low. " The doctor spoke earning a slight nod from Laotian and signed the paper handed to him by the nurse. The Doctor nodded at the Mo Laotian's respond, so without waiting any further he immediately left and disappear to the emergency room.

Laotian remained standing directly towards the door where the doctor disappeared. When the red light switched on indicating that the operation had finally started, Laotian's heart started pounding vigorously, painfully. He kept praying to whoever up above to save Daniel, he would trade his life for it.

Laotian waited minutes directly at the door, his eyes kept glancing at the red light. He thinking and thinking, his mind is going mad at the possibilities. The deeper the thought the darker he had become.

" How was the other patient doing? " he asks gravelly, he sounded so deep and cold that it brought Tain Zi the shivers.

" H-He was in critical condition but his survival rate is higher than Daniel. " Tian Zi replied. Because Daniel is pregnant, his survival rate was lower. The man who crashes into the car was saved by the emergency airbags. If the car didn't crash at the driver's side and to Daniel's side, then Daniel might not have even been able to get to the hospital.

" Good. I want him alive. Call someone to watch his room and never let him out of their sight. " Laotian ordered. He didn't know if it was an accident or intentional but if it was intentional, he'll make sure to make the one responsible will pay for what he did. Tian Zi nodded, actually he already hired people who will watch the man. He knew the crash wasn't an accident and he wanted to tell this to his brother. Because he didn't tell his brother someone was following their car, this happened. Tian Zi didn't want to delay things anymore and repeat the same mistake.

" I saw that man yesterday following you, I wasn't sure at first but I saw him near your car so the placed a tracking device on his car. I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away. " Tian Zi apologized but Laotian didn't care about that anymore. Now that he knew it wasn't an accident, he wanted to soon find the man behind all this and make him pay. Mo Laotian went silent with the information Tian Zi gave him. Meanwhile, Tian Zi knew the more his brother remains silent the more he was thinking something anyone wouldn't want to see. Tian Zi shuddered thinking something he had seen when he was younger.

" Call Hanlu but don't let anyone else know," Laotian ordered again, he didn't want the Elder's to know about this especially Elder Sullen who had a heart condition. Laotian knows that Daniel wouldn't want the Elder to know as well. He also wouldn't know how to explain all this and deep inside he was blaming himself as to why this happened to Daniel. He was too careless and didn't consider that his enemies would target Daniel instead of him. He was too confident and comfortable with the power he has.

Almost two hours passed until the doctor went out of the emergency room wiping his own sweat as he approached Laotian and Tian Zi again. Laotian almost immediately stood up the moment the door opened.

" We were able to save the patient and one of the babies but the other, we couldn't save. The patient will be transferred to his room but we can't let anyone visit him at the moment. He needed rest from the surgery. The baby is currently in good hands but since he was born prematurely we needed to put him in a lot of care. You can see him later on. " After hearing the doctor, Laotian was both happy and sad. He nodded to the doctor and give his thanks before finally sitting on the bench in relief. Knowing that Daniel was saved, all his strength almost escaped from his body. Earlier he was asking Gods to at least save Daniel's life. Although he didn't want to lose the baby he would still prefer Daniel being alive. He was selfish but he felt like he couldn't live without Daniel anymore. But after hearing that one of the babies survived Laotian, couldn't help but be happy. He didn't know that they were having twins. They ask the doctor to keep everything a secret as a surprise. He was sad that he lost one of the babies but very thankful enough that two lives survived.

Tian Zi heard the doctor said and he was also surprised to know his older brother was supposed to have twin babies but now he lost one of them. Tian Zi watched his older brother covered his face with his palms. He knew his older brother was currently overwhelmed by many different kinds of emotions so he silently left and skim through his phonebook to find Mo Hanlu's personal number.

Meanwhile, Hanlu was still sleeping when his personal cellphone rang waking him up. When he saw who was calling he immediately frowned, he hesitated to answer but he did it anyway at the end.

" It's been a while, little brother. Why are you calling? It's almost 3 am in the morning. " Hanlu's tune was unenthusiastic. Although this little brother of his didn't show his face for 6 months, he didn't feel like he missed him at all. A few months ago he was looking for this brat in every way possible but he couldn't and almost lost his life in the hands of Laotian. Now that everything was settled and Laotian had made other ways to solve the problem they weren't looking for him anymore.

" Come to Hawaii now, Eldest Brother needs you. " Tian Zi simply said earning a laugh from Hanlu. At first, Hanlu wanted to go to Hawaii with Daniel and Laotian but he was forced to stay and run the company while Laotian was away. He didn't want to do it but because Laotian said it, he quietly stayed behind and been running the company for a week. He didn't actually have to do anything major since Mo Laotian was still working even when on his honeymoon. He was just left to go on different meetings that his brother was supposed to go.

" If you're gonna lie at least make it more convincing, little brother. " Hanlu said with a bored tune and was even yawning, wanting to sleep already.

" You'll know when I'm lying when you come here. He said to keep this from everyone else, so come now. " Tian Zi said in a serious tune making Hanlu laugh again. Tian Zi played a lot of pranks on him before so he couldn't believe what his little brother had just said. And besides Mo Laotian would never be needing his help. It would be a dream come true if it happened. Hanlu was about to dismiss his younger brother wanting to sleep already but before he could say anything, he heard a familiar voice in the other line. When he heard the voice, Hanlu immediately sat up from his previously laying position.

" Hanlu, I'll give you 6 hours to fly here. Bring along Aldrin and his team with you. " Mo Laotian said. And when Hanlu heard it, he knew something bad just happened. He was asked to bring the Mo Empire's most elite security personnel with him, then it must be something. Before Hanlu could say again or ask anything, Mo Laotian hang-up and throw the phone back to Tian Zi.

A few hours ago, Tian Zi had never witnessed Mo Laotian at his lowest point. Earlier, the alpha was like he just aged 10 more years but now, the man he's seeing now was the man he was most accustomed to. "This" version of Mo Laotian. He knew whoever had schemed against him will not end up good. The person behind this must have run out all his luck to be able to draw out Mo Laotian most terrifying version.

Mo Laotian is a businessman, he's a perfectionist. He is very talented and capable but this didn't mean he didn't use underhanded methods. His background was more than just the Mo Empire's Emperor. He wasn't where he was now and feared by a large number of people without any reason. People who hated and tried to harm him were either silently backing down waiting for a time to strike down, in prison or buried 6 feet below the ground.
