“Call me if you have anything to do. You must not handle it alone, and you must not say nothing like this time, understand?” Before leaving, Fu Hengyi pulled Shen Qinglan aside and whispered, “Leave King’s matter to me. You must not interfere, and you must not put yourself in danger, otherwise I don’t know what I will do.”
Shen Qinglan stood on tiptoe and kissed Fu Hengyi on the lips, “Fu Hengyi, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to worry you in the future.”
“Let your friend Jin Enxi stay with you for a few days. Someone needs to change the dressings on your wounds.”
Shen Qinglan nodded no matter what Fu Hengyi said.
“Fu Hengyi, will you be okay when you go back this time?” Shen Qinglan asked worriedly, thinking about how Fu Hengyi had left the army without permission and came to rescue her.
Fu Hengyi smiled and said, “Do you really think that the higher-ups don’t know that I’m here? Don’t worry, this is tacitly approved by the higher-ups, so I’ll just write a review when I go back, don’t worry.”
Shen Qinglan smiled and said nothing more, but she was not completely relieved in her heart. She watched Fu Hengyi leave before turning around and going in.
“Shen Qinglan, stop right there.” A female voice shouted harshly.
Shen Qinglan paused for a moment, turned around, and saw a car stop in front of her. A woman got out of the car. When she saw the woman’s face clearly, she immediately understood.
“Shen Qinglan, give me back my healthy daughter.” Zhao Jiaqing rushed over and beat Shen Qinglan.
Shen Qinglan did not hide, nor did she even struggle.
Fu Hengyi had already driven out of the compound, but when he was at the gate, he happened to see Zhao Jiaqing registering. When he saw her go in, he didn’t pay any attention and drove away. However, after driving for less than two minutes, he suddenly remembered that this woman was Yan Xi’s mother. He was startled and quickly turned the car around and came back.
Seeing Shen Qinglan letting herself be beaten without dodging or avoiding, anger flashed in his eyes. Fu Hengyi quickly got out of the car, pulled Zhao Jiaqing away, and then protected Shen Qinglan behind him, “What are you doing?”
Zhao Jiaqing stared at Shen Qinglan, “Shen Qinglan, you are such a troublemaker, give me back my healthy daughter.”
Her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying for a long time.
Fu Hengyi frowned, “Madam, please speak properly.”
“Speak properly, Shen Qinglan, tell me yourself, are you worthy?”
“Mom.” When Yan Shengyu arrived, he saw his mother arguing with Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi. “Mom, I told you that you can’t blame Shen Qinglan alone for this. If it weren’t for her, my sister wouldn’t be back now.” Although he was blaming Shen Qinglan in his heart, Yan Shengyu couldn’t help but speak up for Shen Qinglan.
“Pa.” A heavy slap hit Yan Shengyu’s face.
“Yan Shengyu, your sister has been harmed to this point and you are actually speaking up for her. Are you out of your mind?” Zhao Jiaqing was furious.
“Hey, madam, you are the one who has lost your mind. Your daughter was kidnapped and it was Qinglan who rescued her. Not only are you not grateful now, but you are also blaming others for your mistakes. Do you still have any shame?” Wen Xiyao didn’t see Shen Qinglan come in for a long time, and she heard the sound of quarrelling outside, so she walked out to take a look. When she saw this scene, she exploded instantly.
“If it weren’t for her, how could my daughter be kidnapped, how could it be…” Zhao Jiaqing couldn’t continue. When she thought of Yan Xi’s current appearance, her tears fell down.
Wen Xiyao saw her crying, but it was hard to say anything, so she softened her tone, “Even if Yan Xi was injured, at least she is still alive.”
Who knows what this sentence touched Zhao Jiaqing’s sensitive point. She raised her head, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, “Yan Xi is in this state now, she might as well be dead.”
“How can you be a mother? You actually curse your daughter to death.” Wen Xiyao said in disbelief, but she had a vague feeling in her heart that Yan Xi’s situation might not be good.
“I’m sorry about Yan Xi. I’m sorry.” Shen Qinglan said apologetically.
“Sorry? Is sorry useful? Shen Qinglan, why aren’t you the one lying in there? Why aren’t you the one who should have to endure all this?” Zhao Jiaqing pointed at Shen Qinglan and said angrily.
Fu Hengyi pulled Shen Qinglan aside and frowned at Zhao Jiaqing. “What happened to Yan Xi is not what any of us wants to see. It will be useless for you to blame Qinglan now. The most important thing now is to find a way to cure her so that she can live a normal life.”
“How to treat it? Tell me how to treat it. My daughter is only 19 years old and she hasn’t even celebrated her 19th birthday. She is in this condition now. What do you want her to do for the rest of her life?” Zhao Jiaqing cried.
“I will heal her, no matter what method I use, I will heal her.” Shen Qinglan said firmly, but Zhao Jiaqing ignored her. She looked sad and desperate. Just an hour ago, Yan Xi woke up and screamed when she saw a stranger in the room. She did not even allow Zhao Jiaqing and Yan Shengyu to get close to her.
Yan Shengyu stepped forward and held her in his arms forcibly. Yan Xi opened her mouth and bit Yan Shengyu’s shoulder. If the doctor had not arrived in time to subdue Yan Xi, I’m afraid that Yan Xi would have bitten off a piece of flesh from Yan Shengyu’s shoulder.
After the doctor’s examination, he concluded that Yan Xi had suffered a huge shock that led to mental disorder, and she resisted anyone approaching her and behaved aggressively. He suggested that Zhao Jiaqing send Yan Xi to a mental hospital.
At that time, Zhao Jiaqing felt like the sky was falling, so she waited for Yan Xi to calm down before coming to find Shen Qinglan.
“Shen Qinglan, Yan Xi treats you as her own sister and is so close to you. How did you promise me? You said you would take good care of Yan Xi. Is this how you take care of her? She has gone crazy, do you know? She has gone crazy! She is only nineteen years old!” Zhao Jiaqing cried.
Wen Xiyao looked at Zhao Jiaqing in shock, unable to believe what she had just said. Yan Xi was actually crazy.
This commotion attracted Chu Yunrong. She came out and saw Zhao Jiaqing. She didn’t know Zhao Jiaqing. Seeing Zhao Jiaqing crying, she frowned and looked very dissatisfied. “Who are you? Why are you making trouble for my daughter?”
“Mom, let’s go. Yan Xi is alone in the hospital now and she needs someone to take care of her.” Yan Shengyu was slapped by Zhao Jiaqing.
Zhao Jiaqing cried uncontrollably and was taken away in the car by Yan Shengyu.
“Qinglan, are you okay?” Chu Yunrong asked.
Shen Qinglan shook her head and said to Fu Hengyi, “Go ahead, I’m fine.”
Fu Hengyi nodded, “Don’t think too much about Yan Xi’s affairs.”
“Got it. Go ahead.”
….
The next day, Shen Qinglan went to the hospital again. Yan Shengyu was the only one in the ward. “Where’s Yan Xi?”
Yan Shengyu probably didn’t sleep all night, and a green stubble grew on his chin. “She was taken for a checkup by a man named Douglas.”
“Go and have a rest.” Shen Qinglan said when she saw that he looked exhausted. In the past, Yan Shengyu would have been very happy to hear that Shen Qinglan cared about him so much, but now he was not happy at all, and the look he gave Shen Qinglan was very complicated.
“Don’t take my mother’s words yesterday to heart. She was just anxious and said something she didn’t think right.”
“I know.” Shen Qinglan said calmly, “Your mother is not wrong. This matter is indeed my fault. She has the right to resent me.” A girl’s life was ruined like this. Even if Zhao Jiaqing killed her with a knife, Shen Qinglan would not say a word.
Half an hour later, Douglas brought Yan Xi back. Yan Xi followed Douglas with a dull expression and empty eyes, looking like a beautiful Barbie doll.
“Good girl, it’s your bedtime now. Now lie on the bed and have a good sleep, okay?” Douglas said gently.
Yan Xi did as she was told, and when Yan Xi fell asleep, Douglas signalled Shen Qinglan and Yan Shengyu to go out.
“Ann, Yan Xi has severe post-traumatic stress disorder. I’m not sure I can cure her completely right now. I can only use medication and psychological therapy to calm her down so she won’t attack others easily.” Douglas said.
“Is there really no way?” Yan Shengyu asked.
Douglas glanced at him.
“This is Yan Xi’s brother.” Shen Qinglan said.
“There is a solution,” Douglas said, “but it is very dangerous.”
“What method?” Yan Shengyu asked immediately after hearing it.
“I put her under deep hypnosis and make her forget about it. Her psychological disorder was caused by being… bullied. If she forgets about it, she won’t be immersed in pain.”
Shen Qinglan understood immediately after hearing this. This was the same reasoning as when the psychologist gave Chu Yunrong hypnotic suggestions. “What will be the consequences?”
“I have tried this method on other patients before, but only one out of five patients recovered completely. The rest of them would have some sequelae. The most serious consequence is that the patient becomes a complete idiot and needs someone to take care of him even for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.”
Yan Shengyu took a step back, and Shen Qinglan’s face darkened. “Complete recovery means the same as before?”
Douglas nodded, then shook his head. “You can say that, but it’s not entirely correct. This method can help her forget the pain in her heart and the things she doesn’t want to face. She will be happier than before, but the premise is that you will also be forgotten.”
Douglas looked at Shen Qinglan, “In her heart, those people arrested her to arrest you, and you occupy a very high position in her heart. When I gave her psychological treatment the first two times, the big sister she kept calling you was you, right?”
Shen Qinglan’s eyes darkened and she nodded.
“She is very dependent on you, so she will keep thinking of you when she is in danger.”
“If she forgets me, will she remember me when she sees me again?”
“No, logically speaking, she would be a stranger to you when you see her again. She may not even remember this incident in her life. But the premise is that she is not stimulated. If she is strongly stimulated, she may remember everything. At that time, if her disease relapses, I will have no way to help her.”
Yan Shengyu looked at Douglas steadily, “How sure are you?”
“Forty percent. If Eden cooperates, it will be at least 80 percent.” Douglas said. After all, Eden was also an expert in hypnosis.
“Will she forget her family?” Yan Shengyu asked. If Yan Xi even forgot her family, Yan Shengyu couldn’t imagine what would be left in her life.
“If family is a warm word in her memory, she’ll remember some of it,” Douglas said.
Some, that was to say, some things would still be forgotten.
Yan Shengyu glanced at Yan Xi who was sleeping peacefully in the ward and said, “Thank you, doctor. Please let me think about it.”
Shen Qinglan left before Zhao Jiaqing arrived. She and Douglas walked on the road, “Douglas, is there really no other way?”
Douglas shook his head, “Sorry, Ann.”
Shen Qinglan fell silent. She also knew that this was probably the best way.
