The people around panicked, Zhang Yazhi rushed to Shen Yuhuai, and Chen Jianhong shouted to the people outside to prepare the car.

Shen Yuhuai hugged the person, and the weight in his arms seemed to be a little lighter than before. It was not like the naughty pretending to be drunk when he drank before. When the person really fainted unconsciously, the physical feeling became more obvious.

"Zhao Zhao, can Zhao Zhao hear your mother?" Zhang Yazhi didn't care about anything else. Her eyes were red. She used her hand to test the child's temperature, and then held his cold hand to cover it. "Shi Ming, have you contacted the doctor?"

Chen Shiming urgently contacted the Second Municipal Hospital, which was the closest to the group's location, and said, "It's taking too long to wait for the ambulance to come. Let's send someone over."

Shen Yuhuai picked him up without saying a word. Chen Jianhong took off his suit jacket and covered Chen Qizhao with it. When Chen Shiming walked out, he saw Chen Jianhong's figure swaying, and he stopped: "Dad?"

Chen Jianhong leaned on the sofa slightly, "It's okay, let's go."

The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and medical staff in white coats were walking hurriedly back and forth.

Chen Qizhao seemed to sense the voices around him, and also felt himself being placed on a stretcher. The wheels of the stretcher made a clanging sound as they hit the ground. The tight embrace was gone, and the coldness that surged from all directions corroded his limbs, like heavy black water, dragging him deeper and deeper, drowning him so that he couldn't breathe.

His consciousness became increasingly blurred and he could no longer hear the sounds around him.

It was quiet outside the senior ward of the Second Municipal Hospital. The doctor stepped out of the ward and saw the family members standing outside. He looked at the medical record in his hand and said, "The patient has been malnourished and overly fatigued recently, and has mild anemia symptoms."

He paused and said, "But I don't think this is the main reason. We need to wait until the patient wakes up before further diagnosis."

Zhang Yazhi spoke incoherently: "Is the problem serious? He has been eating very little recently and has lost weight..."

"Don't be too nervous, family members. He needs to rest now." The doctor looked at the family members around him and said, "Family members, please come here. We need to understand the situation so that we can make a detailed diagnosis of his condition later."

Chen Shiming stood up and said, "Doctor."

Seeing Chen Shiming following, Shen Yuhuai's gaze stopped at Chen's parents. He nodded to Chen Jianhong and quickly caught up with Chen Shiming's pace.

The doctor's office was not far away. After entering the clinic, the doctor told them in detail about the problems found in several examinations at this stage, and also asked Chen Shiming about Chen Qizhao's daily performance.

Noticing Shen Yuhuai coming in, Chen Shiming nodded slightly at him, "He is a heavy smoker, has a poor appetite, and has shown extreme emotions many times recently."

Shen Yuhuai listened quietly to Chen Shiming's communication with the doctor.

"Does he have trouble concentrating or is he restless?" the doctor asked.

"He has never shown these in front of me." Chen Shiming recalled Chen Qizhao. During this period of time, Chen Qizhao was very calm in front of him except for his appetite and mental state. Whenever he talked about work with him, he always got to the core of the thinking. However, it was this high level of calmness that made him feel a little uneasy.

"It has happened." Shen Yuhuai suddenly said, "He should have sleep disorders recently."

The doctor's brows furrowed as he listened to the two people's stories. "We need to wait until he wakes up to further verify his physical symptoms, but the patient's condition is not very good. According to your previous description and his medical history, he may be in a state of long-term anxiety."

Chen Shiming was slightly startled, and asked in a deep voice: "Does he have mental problems?"

"Very likely. Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, etc. are all symptoms." The doctor said in a serious tone, "His malnutrition is not that serious. From what we can see so far, the emotional symptoms may be more serious. How did your family pay attention to it? Why are these problems only discovered now? The level of coma is already very serious."

Chen Shiming clenched his hands, "Yes, this is our problem."

The patient's family members went to the office with the doctor to record the situation. There were only a few other people left in the corridor. Chen Jianhong asked Special Assistant Xu and others to go back to the company to deal with the situation, and pulled Zhang Yazhi to sit on the chair outside the ward for rest.

Zhang Yazhi's eyes were red. "Is Zhao Zhao sick? The physical examination didn't find any problems. I even made chicken soup for him to nourish his body. How could he still be malnourished? The doctor told me to pay attention to his psychological problems. I paid attention to them."

She blamed herself and said, "I paid attention to it, but the child always said it was okay and didn't want to tell me."

Chen Jianhong gently held his wife's shoulders, and his usually serious face now looked a little old. He didn't say anything, but used his hands to comfort his wife again and again. The words that Chen Qizhao said when he lost control of his emotions in the lounge not long ago emerged in his mind.

Those angry questions were like needles piercing his heart. When Chen Jianhong recalled those words, he felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe. He listened to his wife's reflections one after another and thought back to the past. It seemed like he and his youngest son had never had a good conversation in all these years.

"You're not wrong." Chen Jianhong hugged his wife, "It's my problem."

The waiting time was extremely torturous. Zhang Yazhi could not sit still and said she wanted to go ask the doctor about her condition.

After everyone left, Chen Jianhong was the only one left in the corridor. He waited until the last nurse who was recording the situation left the ward before he pushed open the door.

Chen Qizhao was lying in the ward, the medicine in the IV dripping slowly, and his face looked particularly small surrounded by the oxygen tube. At this moment he was sleeping quietly, not as flamboyant as when he was awake, with an inexplicable fragility in his body. The feeling of looking at the child like this seems to have happened ten years ago. When the child was still young, he had no defenses like this, would not prohibit parents from entering the room, and would not hide his own little secrets...

Chen Jianhong pulled the quilt for Chen Qizhao, slightly covering Chen Qizhao's hand where the injection was given. But when he moved, he saw several scars on the child's arm.

"Dad." When Chen Shiming came over, he saw Chen Jianhong stopping beside Chen Qizhao's bed.

Chen Jianhong lowered his voice, suppressed his emotions, and pulled the quilt tight, "Have you finished talking to the doctor?"

Chen Shiming: "The situation has been settled. The rest is for detailed examination. Mom just went over there and was a little emotional. I asked Xiao Xu to follow her."

"Go out first, your brother needs to rest."

Chen Jianhong walked out of the ward. He said a few words to Chen Shiming and handed over the hospital affairs to him.

So many things happened this morning. The Chen Group press conference needs to be concluded, and the submission of follow-up evidence on the moles found in the company also needs to keep up with the progress. The most important thing is the matter of Lin’s Medical and Gu’s. The people are indeed in jail now, but in order to stabilize the current situation, further evidence needs to be submitted so that the people can be completely locked up in prison and cannot be released.

Gu Zhengsong's side in Beijing is handled by Gu Zhengxun, but the affairs of S City can only be handled by the Chen family. These are all advantages created by Chen Qizhao with his own abilities. Chen Jianhong knew that his child had worked hard to get to where he is today, and he couldn't let this effort go to waste.

After the explanation was completed, Chen Jianhong noticed Shen Yuhuai walking over with Zhang Yazhi in the distance. He looked at his friend's son and nodded slightly to him: "Yuhuai, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

Shen Yuhuai paid attention to Chen Jianhong's expression, "Do you need to rest for a while?"

"No need, I'll go back to the company and lie down."

Chen Jianhong patted Shen Yuhuai’s shoulder and walked out with his back straight.

Shen Yuhuai found, however, that the elder’s pace seemed to be much slower.

People came and went in the hospital, and the quiet ward was not disturbed by any sound. Darkness came into the silent environment. In the environment that was like drowning in black water, Chen Qizhao struggled forward. The heavy black water pressed on his shoulders and the scene in front of him changed again and again.

Gradually, the black water seemed to recede, the hazy scene became real, the smell of disinfectant became stronger and stronger, and when I raised my eyes, I saw the three words "In Surgery".

The sound of Zhang Yazhi crying was right beside her ears. Several senior executives of the group were standing in the corridor, and her father Chen Jianhong was lying behind the door... The white background passed through layer after layer, and into a high-end ward somewhere. Chen Shiming had a pale face, and his eyes seemed to be fixed on the pair of legs that could never stand up again. His eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness... In the end, Zhang Yazhi was lying skinny in the hospital bed. Before she left, she held his hand and said a lot of things.

Many years have passed and Chen Qizhao actually can't remember those words clearly. He only remembers the general meaning, which was that he should live well.

These scenes became increasingly blurred, like torn photos. When they were pieced together, the crack in the middle grew larger and larger, and even the faces of the people were shattered. Chen Qizhao could no longer see those things clearly. The coldness spread up step by step and turned into a rain curtain all over the sky.

The cemetery on the outskirts of S City was quiet, dark clouds covered the sky and the earth, and rain washed the mud.

Chen Qizhao found himself standing in front of the three tombstones again, without flowers and surrounded by the whistling sound of wind. He wanted to reach out to wipe off the withered yellow leaves that had fallen beside the tombstones, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of an empty space next to Chen Jianhong's tombstone, a piece of land that had been dug up, as if it was a cemetery reserved for him in advance.

He was about to walk over there when suddenly someone grabbed his hand from behind.

The warm body temperature was transmitted from the hand, and the wrist that clamped his wrist was extremely hot. The warmth seemed to gradually rise and dissipate the coldness in his body. Chen Qizhao couldn't see the man's face clearly, but when he tried to move forward, he felt the man's hand clenched tightly, and there was a faint minty smell.

Chen Qizhao suddenly didn't want to move forward.

There was no one in the dim room. When Chen Qizhao finally opened his eyes, he felt his body was extremely heavy. He had no strength and did not want to move.

He couldn't describe the feeling. It was like the tiredness came from the inside out, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Lie down first, the fever hasn't subsided yet." A voice came from the side.

The deliberately lowered voice was a little tired, and the familiar voice pushed aside the heavy black water and came to his ears truly.

Chen Qizhao came back to his senses. The black water pressing on his body and heart seemed to still wrap around him. Layers of coldness surged like waves. He broke out in a cold sweat instantly and wanted to grab something uncontrollably. And when he exerted force, the heat from his fingertips pulled him back to his senses. He turned his head slightly and saw Shen Yuhuai sitting next to him, with his hand held in his hand, like the only source of heat in that vague dream, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.

After a long time, Chen Qizhao asked, "Am I dreaming now?"

The boy's hair was a little messy, and his eyes on his pale face were dark and heavy, like a pool of calm stagnant water. When Shen Yuhuai saw those eyes, his heart couldn't help but tighten a little. He noticed Chen Qizhao's strong hands, and very patiently rubbed his slightly bent knuckles little by little, and said softly: "No."

The force applied to the hand was very light, like pushing something away bit by bit. The real feeling slowly gathered in this slow movement, and the heavy black water on the body seemed to dissipate as well.

Chen Qizhao's mind was a little confused, but his memory slowly returned, and his confused thoughts seemed to be put back in place.

He remembered what happened when he fainted, and looked around, but couldn't find his cell phone.

When he looked outside, he saw Zhang Yazhi sleeping slightly leaning on the sofa not far away. Zhang Yazhi's hair was a little messy, and she was sleeping on the sofa with her clothes on, and her face seemed a little tired. Chen Qizhao's gaze stopped on her, and the image of the old Zhang Yazhi lying in the hospital bed seemed to slowly emerge in front of him.

At this time, Shen Yuhuai beside him said, “Aunt Zhang has been guarding you for two days and just rested.”

"...Yeah." Chen Qizhao's voice was a little weak. He paused for a while before reacting: "I slept for two days?"

Shen Yuhuai pulled his messed up quilt slightly and slowed down the drip, "Two days and seven hours to be exact."

Zhang Yazhi, who was not far away, seemed to be sleeping lightly. She woke up after noticing the noise. She hurried to the bedside and asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you awake?"

Shen Yuhuai pressed the medical bell, and soon medical staff came in, and the incandescent light in the dim ward turned on. The doctor's examination was orderly, and he recorded Chen Qizhao's condition item by item. Chen Qizhao was completely exhausted and could only allow the doctor to examine him. His confused mind gradually became clearer. After examining the situation, the doctor wrote out a few more prescriptions and asked me to go out for a few more checkups after I recovered my strength.

Not long after the examination, Chen Qizhao fell asleep again due to tiredness, which almost scared Zhang Yazhi.

After getting a positive answer from the doctor, Zhang Yazhi felt relieved. Shen Yuhuai advised her to rest, but she refused and stayed by Chen Qizhao's side.

The full set of examinations was done intermittently. Chen Qizhao was still running a fever and his mental state was not good. When all the examination reports came out, Zhang Yazhi went to the hospital office to listen to the situation. When she came out, her eyes were red and she didn't speak for a long time.

Special Assistant Xu followed the boss and rushed over, but when he arrived, he saw that the second young master had fallen asleep again, and then he saw the boss standing at the door reading a report. There were too many things to do these days, but his boss still asked him to contact famous doctors in the field of psychology at home and abroad. He submitted doctors' information to the office more times than he submitted evidence to the police station.

The report was not very big, but the boss kept reading it over and over again, as if he was afraid to miss a single word.

Having followed the boss for such a long time, he rarely saw such an expression on his boss's face. He didn't dare to speak, but just stayed quietly aside, waiting for the boss's instructions.

Special Assistant Xu stood for a while and saw Mr. Shen walking towards him from a distance.

These days, every time he accompanied his boss to the hospital, he would always see Mr. Shen here.

"Mr. Shen." Special Assistant Xu called out in a low voice.

Shen Yuhuai nodded at him and handed a document to Chen Shiming, "This is a doctor I know, his last name is Xie, he happens to be in the local area, and he is quite authoritative in this area."

Chen Shiming took the information, with a look of apology on his tired face: "Thank you, I'm sorry for bothering you these days."

"Is it troublesome?" Shen Yuhuai asked.

"It's not a big deal. There's a lot of evidence that needs to be submitted. Qi Zhao must have said something to the police at the time. The police have contacted me these days to ask for a confession, but it's not convenient for him." Chen Shiming didn't say it clearly, "The confession can only be delayed for a while, and the rest needs to be supplemented with other evidence..."

He added, "It's right to arrest Gu Shen."

The police seized guns and other contraband from Gu Shen. If Gu Shen had been left outside at that time, the danger of some things would have been difficult to predict.

“You’re not wrong, but we didn’t expect him to take such a risk.” Shen Yuhuai said, looking at him, “I’ll go in and see him.”

Chen Shiming nodded and opened the information sent by Shen Yuhuai.

The ward was quiet and Zhang Yazhi was not there.

Shen Yuhuai sat next to the hospital bed. The boy on the bed was still asleep. He opened his mouth slightly while sleeping, and seemed to have difficulty breathing.

He pulled the quilt down a little to avoid it being too tight for ventilation.

Before leaving his hand, Shen Yuhuai tested the temperature on Chen Qizhao's forehead and it seemed that he still had a low fever.

When he came these days, Chen Qizhao spent more time in a coma. The doctor was worried that he didn't get enough rest, so the medicines he gave him these days all had some sleeping pill effects.

The room was lit with the warmest light, making the sleeping Chen Qizhao look particularly gentle.

Shen Yuhuai looked at him quietly without saying anything. He held Chen Qizhao's hand slightly, his eyes lingering on the blue needle hole on the back of his hand. He used less force and touched the skin there with his fingertips. Just as he was about to put his hand back into the quilt, he suddenly noticed that the sleeping boy had opened his eyes.

"Awake?" Shen Yuhuai asked in a low voice.

Chen Qizhao didn't reply, he was half asleep and half awake.

He raised his hand up, bringing Shen Yuhuai's hand towards his face, and finally, as if absorbing the warmth and coolness of the other's hand, he pressed his hand against his face.

"Qi Zhao?" Chen Yuhuai leaned forward slightly.

Chen Qizhao didn't say anything. He curled up like an insecure little animal.

The warm breath sprayed on Shen Yuhuai's hand, gentle and weak.

Shen Yuhuai lowered his eyes slightly and let Chen Qizhao hold his hand, "Get well soon."

Chen Qizhao just felt that he had no strength in his whole body. It might be because of the medicine, or it might be because he slept for too long.

He could hardly tell the difference between day and night. He just felt as if there were many different people around him, and there was a constant minty scent.

While the hospital was relatively quiet, the situation outside City S had changed dramatically. The biggest news recently was the joint investigation team of City B and City S into the safety of medical products. On the day when Lin's Medical's illegal transactions were exposed, the police in City S immediately arrested the head of Lin's Medical, conducted a series of investigations, and added several more charges against Lin Shizhong's crimes.

Lin's Medical secretly has a pharmaceutical industry chain, which involves a manufacturing plant in Beijing and has close ties with a certain enterprise. It includes the manufacture of illegal drugs, the transportation of banned and controlled items, and other illegal activities. Because of this incident, the relevant departments conducted a thorough investigation of Lin's Medical from bottom to top and found that in addition to this industry chain, Lin's Medical also had many illegal business operations, which caused very bad effects in the industry.

As a result of a series of events, several executives of Lin's Medical were taken away one after another, and the group's stock price continued to fall. And underneath this incident, there are other criminal facts hidden, including the previous Chen family aromatherapy case, etc., and there are suspicious connections with multiple criminals, suspected of intentional injury and other charges. As these evidences came out one by one, the criminal facts of Lin Shizhong and his team were basically established.

The Gu Group was also affected to a small extent because of Gu Zhengsong's incident, but it was quickly suppressed under the control of Gu Zhengxun. Compared with Lin Shizhong, there were many more procedures for convicting Gu Zhengsong. Gu Zhengsong hired a special lawyer to try to bail out Gu Zhengsong and Gu Shen, but because the industrial chain involved in the Beijing Manufacturing Plant was too broad, the police in City B had reasonable grounds to detain them, and the two sides were deadlocked.

Gu Zhengsong could still try to exonerate himself by blaming the dead, but Gu Shen's crime was not that simple. Lao Lin's confession in the aromatherapy case became extremely important. The middle-aged man involved in the photo provided by Lao Lin was someone close to Gu Shen, and with other supporting evidence, Gu Shen was arrested for intentional injury. Moreover, multiple pieces of evidence obtained from the Lin's Medical Contraband Case showed the direct connection between Gu Shen and Lin Shizhong, which aggravated Gu Shen's crime.

It was midnight when Chen Qizhao woke up again. The ward was quiet. When he opened his eyes, he saw a dim orange light in the distance. Chen Qizhao spent the past few days feeling sleepy more often than awake. He was in a daze. His mind couldn't bear to think about anything else and he always had a headache and wanted to sleep.

I felt better when I woke up tonight. I didn’t have that headache or nausea, and my body felt a little more relaxed.

Chen Qizhao had just moved when he suddenly heard a noise beside him. He glanced sideways and saw a person sitting next to the ward.

Chen Jianhong was still wearing the same suit, but his shirt was a little wrinkled. His briefcase and notebook were placed on the sofa not far away, and it seemed that he had just been working there.

"Are you awake?" Chen Jianhong's voice was deep and serious, and even the tone of his question sounded a little unnatural.

Chen Qizhao looked at him and said nothing.

Seeing that Chen Qizhao was about to get up, Chen Jianhong walked to the end of the bed and pressed a button to raise the head of the bed.

Chen Qizhao just kept watching him, watching him look for the height adjustment place at the end of the bed, and watching him adjust the height little by little. Chen Jianhong's back is not as straight as before. He has to hold on to the bed when he stands up, and the skin on the back of his hands is a little wrinkled.

The father and son spoke very little, and the doctor's voice passing by outside was quieter than in the room.

Chen Jianhong took the initiative to say, "Your mother hasn't had a rest for a few days. I'll ask your brother to take her back to sleep for a day."

"Yeah." Chen Qizhao responded and found his throat a little hoarse.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, Chen Jianhong asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"I'm thirsty." said Chen Qizhao.

"I'll go pour it for you." Chen Jianhong looked around the room and found the water dispenser.

Chen Qizhao didn't move, just watched Chen Jianhong's actions.

The water dispenser in the ward was bought by Zhang Yazhi. Its functions were a bit complicated. Chen Jianhong walked over and fumbled for a while before pouring a glass of water for Chen Qizhao.

"Here." Chen Jianhong held the glass.

Chen Qizhao hesitated for a moment, without looking at him, but took the glass from him.

The water is warm.
