"It's different now!" Cheng Ran roared in a frenzy, "Precisely because I have everything now, I'm even more afraid of losing it. I've already caused problems, Wanqing, and I'll become a burden to you!"
Moreover, once his family finds out about his current situation, there will inevitably be some conflict, which is something he doesn't want to see.
As for his job, there are people who can replace him now. He has been in this position for so long, it's normal for him to give it up.
Snap!
Jiang Wanqing was so angry that she couldn't speak. She slapped him across the face, tears streaming down her face. She raised her hand to wipe them away.
"I won't allow you to say such nonsense! You better live! Come on, let's go to the hospital right now!"
She no longer cared about whether he would suffer external injuries, and tried to pull him out, but he resisted fiercely.
Fortunately, at that moment, Fang Zheng walked in carrying gifts. Seeing the mess on the ground and the state of Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran, he was so frightened that he quickly asked what was wrong.
"Sister-in-law, Commander, what's going on? What happened?!"
He wondered if his home had been robbed, but that didn't make sense. This was a military base; who would dare to cause trouble here?
"Fang Zheng, you've come at the right time. There's no time to explain so much to you. Quickly help take your Commander Cheng to the hospital."
"Ah, okay."
He quickly stepped forward to help, but Cheng Ran was very resistant. He didn't know whether to help or not.
"Sister-in-law, this..."
"I order you to get out of here!" Cheng Ran glared at Fang Zheng. "I'm fine, I don't need to go to the hospital!"
"Don't listen to him! He's trying to commit suicide. You really believe he's a good person? Get him knocked out right now. We're going to the hospital today, no matter what!"
At home, carelessness can lead to more dangers. At least in a hospital, there are medical staff watching over him, and they have to go to check on him to see what's wrong so they can treat him appropriately.
Upon hearing that Cheng Ran was actually going to commit suicide, Fang Zheng immediately cleared his head. Following Jiang Wanqing's instructions, he knocked Cheng Ran unconscious, but not completely, since his skills were still inferior.
At least they were able to drag the person away. Luckily, Fang Zheng arrived in a military jeep, which came in handy at this moment.
Jiang Wanqing and he used all their strength to carry Cheng Ran to the car. She held his hand tightly to prevent him from doing anything reckless.
"Fang Zheng, you must keep this matter a secret for me today, understand?"
Although there was a lot of noise, no one from the family compound came to watch, which meant that everyone was out busy and no one was gossiping, which was a good thing. The only person she needed to remind was Fang Zheng, who had been involved throughout the whole process.
"Sister-in-law, you know. The commander's situation... if you told others, they probably wouldn't believe it. Anyone would try to kill themselves, but in our eyes, the commander wouldn't!"
He glanced at himself in the rearview mirror and sighed silently, wondering how things had turned out this way.
Jiang Wanqing forced a smile, but it was a bitter one.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital and took Cheng Ran directly to Dr. Huang to check if the external injury was serious.
Dr. Huang had just seen one patient off when he saw these three people walk into his office looking like this, and he was stunned.
"What...what happened? Commander Cheng is injured?"
"Doctor, please take a look at our team leader right away. As for the other details, my sister-in-law will tell you."
Fang Zheng was very worried about Cheng Ran's health, and also afraid that he had hurt him badly, so he quickly asked the doctor to check him out.
Seeing Jiang Wanqing nod, the doctor began to perform a simple examination on Cheng Ran.
"It's nothing serious. He's probably just temporarily unconscious from a major impact. He'll be fine after a rest."
When asked about the major impact, Fang Zheng smiled sheepishly; it was because he had hit too hard.
"Not just major impacts, but also this..."
Jiang Wanqing slightly rolled up Cheng Ran's sleeve, revealing the scars on his hand. The doctor's eyes widened upon seeing them.
"Who...who did this?!"
Dr. Huang closed the door, preventing the person behind him from entering. He was surprised. Since Jiang Wanqing had spoken up, it definitely wasn't her. Fang Zheng certainly wouldn't have dared to do it either. As for the others, they didn't have the opportunity to get close enough to Ran. So, it could only be him...
"Doctor, Cheng Ran might be having some psychological issues. Can you see him? Or... should we go to another department?"
“Comrade Jiang, psychological problems can be serious or minor. Besides, Commander Cheng’s injury hasn’t been long, so how could he develop psychological problems so quickly? And he can walk again now, which should be a sign of improvement.” Dr. Huang was puzzled and asked questions directly, without beating around the bush.
Jiang Wanqing sighed, her eyes filled with self-reproach.
"It's all my fault. Ever since he got injured, he's been worried that I'll leave him and that I'll be a burden to him. Plus, I've been busy with work these past few days, which probably made him feel insecure, so that's why..."
Her throat tightened, and she couldn't continue speaking. Even Fang Zheng, who was just listening in, felt helpless. In truth, the responsibility didn't lie with her.
"Sister-in-law, the commander seems to be troubled by something, not because you're busy with work."
Dr. Huang nodded in agreement: "Comrade Fang was right this time. Ultimately, it still comes down to the problem with Commander Cheng..."
He made a pointed remark, then returned to his desk, sat down, and continued speaking.
"In this situation, even if you transfer him to another department, it will only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. If things go wrong, he might be mistaken for mentally ill, which would be a significant blow to someone of Commander Cheng's position. My suggestion is to treat the underlying cause of his illness first; the others will naturally resolve themselves. However…"
"But is it difficult?"
Jiang Wanqing continued speaking after the doctor's pause, and then saw the doctor nod.
"Yes, this is something you two need to discuss. After all, it takes two to tango. Besides, your wife might need to take the initiative..." Dr. Huang cleared his throat. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, thank you doctor, but could you please prescribe some medication to calm him down in extreme situations?"
"That's fine. Are you still going to be hospitalized?"
Jiang Wanqing frowned and shook her head: "No, I have other ideas."
The family compound is not a place for Cheng Ran to live in for the time being, otherwise people will inevitably spread rumors. Moreover, the environment there is too formal and serious, which may not be conducive to Cheng Ran's recovery.
She plans to rent a small courtyard that belongs to them, and first help him resolve his inner conflicts.
"Okay, I'll prescribe the medicine for you first. If there are any other issues, remember to come find me immediately."
"Yes, I will."
Although he wasn't hospitalized, Jiang Wanqing and Fang Zheng still put Cheng Ran on the hospital bed to rest for a while until he woke up.
Two hours later, he clutched the back of his neck, and the first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to look for someone.
"Where's Fangzheng?" he asked Jiang Wanqing.
She held his hand: "I told him to do it, so blame me if you want."
