Chapter 965 Mental Illness
There was a reason why Qin Ce specifically asked Qin Yi to escort Qiao Xing back.
Qin Fei is definitely home. If she goes back alone at this time, even if Qin Fei doesn't tell anyone about it, she will definitely make a scene for Qiao Xing.
With Qin Yi around, she could at least calm down a bit.
Qin Ce arrived at the hospital as quickly as possible.
When we arrived at Grandpa Qin's ward, there was a crowd gathered at the door. Security guards were trying to maintain order, but they couldn't get the onlookers to leave.
Several nurses and doctors stood at the door, all looking tense.
One of the doctors shouted, "You must stay calm and don't do anything impulsive!"
Qin Ce pushed through the crowd and walked over. When the doctor saw Qin Ce arrive, he looked at him as if he had seen a lifeline. "Mr. Qin, you've finally arrived!"
Qin Ce looked into the ward and saw a man in a hospital gown standing by his grandfather's bedside, holding a knife.
Grandpa Qin sat on the hospital bed, and the knife was pointed at his neck.
Qin Ce's face immediately darkened.
The man in the hospital gown shouted, "There isn't a single good person in this world! I'm going to kill you all!"
As he spoke, the knife in his hand suddenly moved even closer to Grandpa Qin.
This caused everyone else to involuntarily gasp.
However, Grandpa Qin remained very calm, because he knew that with Qin Ce around, this person couldn't hurt him at all.
Qin Ce noticed that not only his grandfather and the madman were in the ward.
In the corner, Xiaoxiao crouched on the ground, trembling, blood still flowing from her arm.
Qin Ce stared intently at the knife in the man's hand, then turned to the doctor and asked, "What's going on?"
The doctor explained, "He is a patient in our hospital named Li Dong. He has developed mental problems, and our hospital can't handle him. So these past two days we have been considering whether to transfer him to a mental hospital, but who knew this would happen."
The doctor told Qin Ce that Grandpa Qin originally wanted to go out and play chess with some old men because the weather was nice.
Who knew that after returning from playing chess, and having barely rested in the ward for a short while, Li Dong rushed in with a knife.
The doctor said regretfully, "It's all our fault. We didn't keep a close eye on him. We don't know where he got the knife from. Just now, Xiaoxiao injured her arm while protecting Grandpa Qin. We wanted to take a look at it, but he wouldn't let anyone near. We also barged in recklessly."
Qin Ce glanced at Xiao Xiao; although her arm was injured, it wasn't serious.
However, if the bleeding doesn't stop, something bad will definitely happen.
"Did you call the police?"
The doctor nodded and said, "We called the police. We notified you and called the police at the same time. They should be here soon."
Li Dong brandished the knife menacingly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, his emotions became even more agitated.
"Did you hear that?! I'm going to kill him! And then I'll kill you all!"
Although he was mentally ill, he was holding a knife and was very close, making him more dangerous than a normal person.
Qin Ce felt that they couldn't just keep dragging this on; even if the police came, they might not be able to do anything about this kind of person.
Qin Ce tried to take two steps into the ward. Although Li Dong was mentally unstable, he became excited as soon as Qin Ce moved.
"Don't come any closer! You can't save him! You'll all die today! I'll kill you all, and then I'll take you all down with me!"
The doctor at the door tried to calm Li Dong down, "Li Dong, don't get agitated. Just tell us what you want, and we'll do whatever we can to help you."
While communicating with a mentally ill person is indeed difficult, this can at least distract him.
Li Dong truly ignored the doctor's advice. No matter what anyone said to him, his most frequent response was, "I'm going to kill you all!" and "I'll make you pay with your lives!"
Grandpa Qin gave Qin Ce a look, signaling him not to act rashly.
Qin Ce stopped moving forward.
Grandpa Qin glanced at the knife that Li Dong had so close to his hand and said in a calm tone, "Young man, you should know that even if you kill us all, it won't make a difference. The world will remain the same as it is, and it won't change just because we die."
Li Dong snorted, "Why?"
Grandpa Qin said, "Because this matter is wrong."
"Why not! You have done wrong and should be punished! Only when you are all dead will the world return to peace! I am doing this to rid the people of a scourge!"
Grandpa Qin chuckled lightly, "Do you know what it means to rid the people of a scourge? We don't even know you. How can killing us be considered ridding the people of a scourge? Do you know what wrong we committed? In ancient times, even beheading required a crime. Tell me, what wrong did we do?"
"And look at all these people, can you kill them all?"
Li Dong seemed stunned by what he said. He paused for a moment, then followed up with Grandpa Qin's question, "Then what should we do?"
Grandpa Qin coughed and said, "Go and get me a glass of water first."
This statement surprised everyone else.
They never expected that, even at this critical juncture, Grandpa Qin would still order Li Dong around.
What surprised them even more was that Li Dong actually did as he was told.
As he walked over to pour water for Grandpa Qin, the security guard at the door and the police who had arrived were preparing to rush in.
Qin Ce had already made preparations to bring Li Dong under control.
But Grandpa Qin glanced at them and told them not to move.
Li Dong walked over and poured Grandpa Qin a glass of water.
He poured it quite forcefully, spilling a lot of water. He picked up the cup and walked over to Grandpa Qin, saying, "Here you go!"
Grandpa Qin took the cup, took a sip, and then said to Li Dong, "Thank you."
He didn't know if he didn't understand what Grandpa Qin meant by "thank you," or if it was because no one had thanked him in a long time.
In short, when Grandpa Qin said the word "thank you," his expression clearly froze.
Grandpa Qin asked, "Do you know what 'thank you' means?"
Li Dong nodded, but then shook his head.
He might actually understand what "thank you" means, but there's always a voice in his head telling him that he doesn't.
"If you do good deeds, people will thank you. This is recognition of you. The more thanks you receive, the more you will become a great hero. Aren't those who save the world heroes? Killing people can't change the world, but doing good deeds can. People will feel happy and joyful because of what you do."
"But if you kill someone, all you'll get is panic and fear. If you make everyone afraid of you, then won't you become the sinner? Wouldn't you be the one punished first?"
Li Dong was bewildered. He asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"
Grandpa Qin nodded, looked at Xiaoxiao who was squatting in the corner, and then said to Li Dong, "If you want to do a good deed, help that girl up and hand her over to the doctor. We will all thank you, and then you will be a hero."
Li Dong hesitated for a moment, "Don't lie to me! Just because someone thanks me doesn't make me a hero?"
Grandpa Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, I would never lie to you."
Li Dong threw the knife he was holding on the ground with a thud, then walked towards Xiao Xiao.
