After leaving the police station, Jiang Chen stopped a car on the side of the road.

"Go to Yan City Second Hospital, thank you."

The car started slowly, and Jiang Chen remembered what the police officer in charge of the case had just said:

"We already have a preliminary suspect for the mastermind behind your kidnapping."

"Yesterday we asked you if anyone in your family or you had ever had a conflict with anyone, and you mentioned your uncle Yang Tianci. After we investigated, we found that he was indeed a strong suspect."

"Just a few days ago, Yang Tianci was visited by a debt collection company, who demanded that he pay back a debt of 300,000 yuan, including the principal and interest. This amount is the same as the amount the kidnapper first mentioned when he called your mother. However, this cannot be used as evidence that he kidnapped you. If we want to thoroughly close the case, we have to find out the phone number he used to contact the kidnappers. Now we have some clues, and we will notify you when we have evidence."

Jiang Chen thanked him and asked, "Officer Zhou, I'm curious, why did that group of people fight and hurt their own people? Is it really because of the uneven distribution of the spoils? Is it possible that it is related to the suspect who planned to kidnap me?"

The police officer shook his head. "This incident should have nothing to do with the mastermind behind your kidnapping, but it's okay to tell you some inside information. Liu Yi said that he stabbed Huang Kai because Zhang Qiang told him that Huang Kai was a traitor and asked him to teach Huang Kai a lesson. However, Zhang Qiang denied that he had ever told Liu Yi that Huang Kai was a traitor, and even denied that he had instructed Zhang Qiang to hurt Huang Kai. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and the progress of Huang Kai's case has been temporarily delayed."

The car drove over the speed bump and Jiang Chen came to his senses.

The driver smiled and turned around and said, "Classmate, we're here."

Jiang Chen thanked him, paid the money and got out of the car.

Perhaps because he didn't say anything, the taxi driver took him directly to the more convenient ground parking lot of Yan City Second Hospital. It was very convenient to get to the outpatient department from here, but to get to the inpatient department, one had to take several detours.

The July sun was scorching hot, and most people getting on and off the bus walked hurriedly, trying to avoid the sun.

Jiang Chen walked slowly and leisurely. He was not afraid of heat and he could think more efficiently while walking than while sitting. Among the people rushing to and fro, he was the only one who was as leisurely as if he was taking a stroll.

When he was about to reach the inpatient department, Jiang Chen stopped and called out to someone not far away.

"Doctor Shi!"

Shi Fengyue turned around, and the man next to him also looked over. Jiang Chen quickened his pace and walked in front of Shi Fengyue. He nodded to the man who was looking at him curiously as a greeting, and smiled lightly, "Doctor Shi, I have something to ask you. Is it convenient?"

Shi Fengyue was about to refuse, but when he met his smiling eyes, he somehow changed his words: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Shi Fengyue took the lead and walked towards a secluded place: "Let's go."

Li Nanfeng looked at the two people leaving side by side, touched his chin, shook his head and said: "Something is wrong..."

When they reached the shade, Shi Fengyue stopped and said, "Go ahead."

"I want to ask you, how did you get into the warehouse yesterday without anyone knowing?"

Shi Fengyue leaned over to look at him, with a look of pure curiosity and mockery, his tone was loose and nonchalant: "Since you have guessed the answer, why are you still asking questions when you already know the answer?"

Jiang Chen remained calm and said, "I'm just curious, how can Doctor Shi hypnotize people?"

Shi Fengyue said casually: "I'm a doctor, there's nothing strange about that."

Jiang Chen: "But I remember that you are a spinal surgeon."

Shi Fengyue: "I took psychology as an elective course in college."

Jiang Chen smiled: "Just because he took psychology as an elective, Dr. Shi can do things that many psychology experts can't do. He is very impressive."

Shi Fengyue nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Jiang Chen added: "However, I have always heard that hypnosis requires many steps and conditions to be carried out. I am very curious about how Dr. Shi can hypnotize others with simple props and sounds."

"curious?"

Jiang Chen: “Very curious.”

"I always thought that you were not someone who would easily become curious about other people's affairs."

Jiang Chen admitted: "I am indeed not."

Shi Fengyue's lips curled slightly: "Then why are you so curious about my affairs?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Because I am very curious about your hypnotic method."

Shi Fengyue leaned forward, lowered his eyes, and whispered into Jiang Chen's ear: "Do you think that your curiosity about me now is a psychological hint from me?"

Jiang Chen really couldn't help thinking about this question, but after a moment, he came back to his senses, only to find that Shi Fengyue had already turned around and left.

He looked at his back for a few seconds, then suddenly relaxed his brows, smiled, and looked away.

Is Shi Fengyue an SSS-level psychic, and what does it have to do with him?

…

When Jiang Chen walked into the ward, he felt a rare sense of silence.

This ward is a triple room. The two patients in the beds next to Jiang Zhuo have been discharged one after another, and no one else has moved in yet, so he is the only one living here for the time being. However, even so, the ward has never been so quiet.

"Dad, Mom." Seeing the two people sitting at the head and foot of the bed, Jiang Chen paused, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhuo turned around and smiled at Jiang Chen, "It's okay, come here, let Dad see where you are hurt."

Jiang Chen glanced at Yang Si, who was sitting aside with red eyes, and walked over to the stool next to Jiang Zhuo and sat down.

"Were you scared yesterday?" Jiang Zhuo looked at him carefully, patted his shoulder, and laughed: "It seems not, you are worthy of being my son."

Jiang Chen leaned close to Jiang Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Did you have a fight with my mom?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Zhuo knocked him and raised his voice, "Your mother and I are fine."

Hearing this, Yang Si turned around and snorted.

Jiang Chen still didn't understand something, "Because of what happened yesterday?"

Jiang Zhuo: "No..."

Yang Si: “Yes.”

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to speak, Yang Si stood up and said, "I know that I was wrong for not telling you immediately when my son got into trouble yesterday, but Jiang Zhuo, think about how hurtful your words just now were. You said that I didn't tell you because I thought you were useless, that I disliked you, or that..."

Jiang Zhuo also stood up suddenly: "What I said was 'You didn't tell me, do you think it's useless to tell me', which is completely different from what you said about me being useless. And when did I say that you despise me? Aren't you just imagining it yourself?"

"I'm imagining things?" Yang Si crossed his arms and said, "If you didn't mean that, would I be imagining things? You taught your son from a young age that 'a person's attitude and tone of speech are more important than the content'. Have you done it yourself? If you did it, would I be imagining things?"

Jiang Zhuo choked, paused, walked to Yang Si, took her hand and whispered: "Wife, I really didn't mean that. Maybe my expression was a little wrong when I spoke, but it was because I was too worried. Such a big thing happened at home yesterday, but I didn't know anything about it. I don't want to blame you, I blame myself for being useless, because I know that even if I knew about this, it would be useless, because I am of no use now..."

"Who allowed you to say that about yourself!" Yang Si interrupted Jiang Zhuo: "Who said you are useless! No one can say that! Not even you!"

Jiang Zhuo was startled, "Wife..."

Yang Si's expression softened and he reached out to hug Jiang Zhuo. Seeing that the two were about to have a more intimate action, Jiang Chen coughed quickly.

Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si reacted at the same time and quickly separated.

Jiang Zhuo said, "Didn't you say you had something to do this afternoon? Go now."

"dad--"

"Dad, what? You're not going yet? Didn't I tell you that men should never be late?"

"No." Jiang Chen smiled and interrupted what he was about to say, "Didn't you notice? You just stood up and walked to mom without a cane. Your movements were very agile."

Jiang Zhuo was stunned, his expression was blank for a few seconds, and he looked down at his legs in disbelief.

Yang Si suddenly reacted, stood up suddenly, stepped back a few steps, walked to the other side of the bed and said, "Lao Jiang, come here and try it."

Jiang Zhuo nodded, supported himself on the bed and slowly stood up, then walked slowly towards Yang Si. His movements became natural from awkward, and his steps also became natural.

Seeing his parents hugging each other and crying, Jiang Chen silently left the ward.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Chen went straight to an ice rink near Yanda University.

After Chen Xu heard from Huo Bo what happened yesterday, he called Jiang Chen early in the morning to express his condolences. After learning that Jiang Chen was fine, he changed his condolences into complaints, saying that they were disloyal for not taking him with them on such an exciting event. He also wailed that it had been so long since the start of summer vacation, and the three of them had not gotten together. Their friendship was crumbling.

After three minutes of preparation, he finally stated his goal - to get Jiang Chen and Huo Bo to skate with him.

Huo Bo agreed quickly. As far as Jiang Chen could remember, the last time the three of them went ice skating together was when they were in the first year of high school in their first life, so he agreed without hesitation.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the skating rink, Chen Xu had already arrived. He was sitting at the bar, drinking a drink, and talking to the girl opposite him with a smile on his face.

Jiang Chen walked over and saw who the girl was. He was a little surprised: "Pan Liuyi?"

Pan Liuyi smiled and nodded: "We meet again."

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then sat down next to Shen Xu and asked, "Are you coming to skate too?"

"Yes." Pan Liuyi pointed to the girls skating in the rink and said, "I came here with my friends. I'm not very good at skating, so I'm waiting for them outside."

Chen Xu said: "That's so boring. Jiang Chen is really good at skating. Let him teach you later."

Pan Liuyi turned to look at Jiang Chen and said, "Really?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I haven't skated for a long time."

"That's just..." Meeting Jiang Chen's eyes, Chen Xu paused: "It's just two or three years, it's better not to let him teach you, this ice knife is dangerous, it will hurt you later."

Pan Liuyi didn't care and said playfully, "I think it's better to forget it. I'm so beautiful, it's not worth it to be disfigured."

Chen Xu spoke without hesitation: "That is not only a loss for the Affiliated High School, but also a loss for humanity and the world. It will cause humanity to lose itself in the pursuit of beauty..."

Jiang Chen's cell phone rang, interrupting Shen Xu's flattery. He raised his cell phone and said, "I'm going to answer the call."

"Go ahead!" Chen Xu waved his hand: "Go quickly and come back soon."

Jiang Chen nodded to Pan Liuyi, picked up the phone and walked to the bathroom.

Just as Jiang Chen walked into the restroom, several teenagers around sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the skating rink, surrounding a man and heading straight for the VIP area.

When passing the bar area, Shen Xu heard their conversation:

"Why did Master He suddenly want to come ice skating today?"

"Pick up girls, what else?"

"I think he was in a bad mood. He had a dark face when we met in the morning. I don't know who offended him."

…

As several people walked by, Shen Xu raised his eyebrows and turned to ask Pan Liuyi: "Among the group of people just now, was there the one who cheated on the exam that your sister mentioned? Who was it?"

"The one in the front." Pan Liuyi put down the menu that was covering her face and lowered her voice, "That matter hasn't been confirmed yet, so you'd better not say anything. He Qianjian doesn't seem to be as good-tempered as the rumors say. If he knows that you said this to him in private, he might get angry."

"Oh no." Chen Xu shrugged: "Am I afraid of him?"
