After lunch, Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao chatted on WeChat about where to go for dinner. After Ying Qiao was suddenly called away last time, he suddenly became busy, and the two of them had fewer intimate dates.
Ying Qiao’s complexion had visibly deteriorated over the past few days, and he only smiled a little when he answered the video call.
“Let’s go have barbecue tonight? Xue Meng recommended a newly opened barbecue restaurant to me. It is said that the oysters and crab claw noodles there are very delicious.”
Jiang Lan was just thinking about going to try it in the evening when Sister Zhang suddenly called him. He paused and said to Ying Qiao, “I’ll take a call first and talk to you later.” Then he hung up the video call and answered the phone.
Sister Zhang’s voice sounded flustered. Before Jiang Lan could say anything, she spoke in rapid succession: “Jiang Chi almost killed someone. You should come to the hospital quickly. I can’t handle this here…”
“What’s going on?” Jiang Lan was startled and stood up suddenly.
However, the background sound on the other end of the phone was very noisy, with crying, insults and shouting intertwined, and only a bunch of unclear noises could be heard. Sister Zhang didn’t speak for a few minutes, nor did she hang up the phone. Jiang Lan frowned and called several times before she said again: “Something big has happened, something big has happened, please come over quickly.”
After that, the call was hung up in a hurry.
Jiang Lan’s face was gloomy. He quickly picked up his wallet and only had time to ask Zhang Tianxing to help him take leave and take care of Jiao Tu and Suan Ni, before taking a taxi straight to the hospital.
While in the taxi, he called Jiang Chi, but no one answered the call.
He was extremely anxious and could only urge the driver to go faster.
….
——The situation got out of control after the young patient’s mother arrived.
Jiang Chi stood there with no way to move forward or backward, his face showing a calmness and indifference that was inconsistent with his age.
The patient behind him was still half-straddling the fence, laughing in glee, holding the coat that had been torn off Jiang Chi’s head, teasing him like a cat: “Little monster, little monster, everyone knows that you are a monster, hehe…”
He waved his arms and said to the crowd like a speaker: “Catch him quickly! Burn the monster to death, otherwise it will be my turn today…” His expression suddenly became gloomy: “Tomorrow it will be your turn!”
“I am not.”
Jiang Chi turned around abruptly, grabbed the coat that was waved in front of him, and repeated through gritted teeth: “I am not.”
I’m not a monster or a psychopath.
It’s obviously you who is sick.
Why are those people afraid of him instead of someone who was truly mentally ill?
Jiang Chi tightly grasped his coat, his neatly trimmed nails clenching until they turned white. His eyes gradually became quieter, and hostility enveloped his eyebrows, making his expression look particularly gloomy and fierce. He hardly looked like a child in his early teens.
The young patient seemed to be frightened. He searched for something in the crowd with a horrified look in his eyes, shouting: “Mom, Mom, the monster wants to kill me, save me…”
The patient’s mother, who arrived a step late, pushed through the crowd and saw this heart-wrenching scene.
She rushed towards Jiang Chi like a mother animal protecting her cub, pushed him away, and cursed: “What did you do to my son? Monster, monster!”
At the same time, screams suddenly rang out from the crowd: “Be careful!”
“People are going to fall!”
“Hurry and hold him!”
The woman who was cursing Jiang Chi turned her head in astonishment, and saw her son, who was riding on the fence, sway his body and fall backwards uncontrollably, with a twisted and weird smile frozen on his face.
He was still holding Jiang Chi’s coat in his hand – before Jiang Chi was pushed away, he was grabbing the other end of the coat and struggling with him, and the two of them maintained a delicate balance.
“Yaoyao!” The woman suddenly stretched out her hand and rushed towards the railing, but she only had time to grab the coat that her son was holding in his hand.
She stared blankly downstairs, her emotions suddenly fluctuating, and she even lost her voice for a moment.
Fortunately, the head nurse was calm. She rushed to the railing and looked down. She breathed a sigh of relief: “The air cushion caught him, it caught him. It should be possible to save him.”
They were on the sixth floor. As soon as the hospital discovered that the patient was about to jump off the building, it immediately contacted the fire department and laid out an air mattress downstairs.
The doctor waiting downstairs quickly put the person on a stretcher and sent him to the emergency room.
Everyone’s attention was on the patient who fell from the building. Jiang Chi, who was ignored for a while, got up from the ground with his eyes lowered, brushed off the dust on his body, and walked back slowly and sluggishly.
His mind was blank and his eyes were a little dazed. Only his instinct urged him to go back to the ward and to his grandmother. Familiar people could give him a sense of security.
Someone noticed his movements and suddenly cried out, “Stop him, he’s trying to run away!”
The crowd closest to Jiang Chi dispersed and surrounded him with a sense of justice. No one wanted to touch him, and they only accused him with words: “You want to leave after hurting someone? How can it be so easy?”
“Where are your parents? Even if you are young and don’t have to bear legal responsibility, your parents still have to take responsibility, right?”
Another suggested: “Why not call the police, he doesn’t look normal at all.”
“Yes, yes, call the police.” The woman who was lying on the railing finally came to her senses. She pointed at Jiang Chi and screamed, “This is intentional homicide. Everyone saw it. He did it on purpose! If anything happens to my son, you will die!” As she spoke, she searched the crowd and found the timid Sister Zhang. She rushed over and grabbed her, “Call his parents over. I will not let this go! This kind of monster should not be raised!”
Sister Zhang was frightened and stammered as she explained, “I’m just an employee, don’t look for me…”
The scene suddenly became chaotic. The head nurse stepped forward and separated the two people. She asked the security guard, who was afraid to step forward, to take Jiang Chi to the clinic for treatment, and then asked Sister Zhang to call Jiang Lan.
But just after the call was made and before she could finish two sentences, she heard a young nurse rushing over in a panic: “The patient in bed number 3, 618, has stopped beating!”
618 Bed number three?
Jiang Chi, who had been quietly following the security guard towards the clinic, paused and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the ward, his dark eyes covered with an unfathomable shadow.
“The patient in bed number 3 of 618 is the milk of that child…”
Before she finished her words, she saw the skinny little Jiang Chi suddenly rushing towards Ward 618 like crazy. The security guard behind him quickly caught up with him and tried to pull him back, but he grabbed his arm fiercely.
The security guard cried out in pain, only to find that Jiang Chi had grown sharp nails on his hands at some point.
They immediately looked at Jiang Chi with fear, and no one dared to step forward.
Jiang Chi turned around and ran towards the ward but was stopped by Doctor Yu who came towards him and quickly injected a shot of Valium into his body.
Jiang Chi tried his best to open his eyes wide, but in the end he slid down weakly.
Doctor Yu caught his body, and there seemed to be a dark vortex spinning in his eyes. He whispered, “Take a good look at how ugly these humans are.”
