Chapter 203 Sanatorium 1
Wen Ning decisively replied to Zhou Xiaoyan, "Senior Zhou, I will definitely go when the time comes."
Zhou Xiaoyan was obviously very happy. "That's great. You've been in that nursing home for a few years, so you must be familiar with the situation there. Try to prepare an interview outline over the next few days. On Friday night, we'll have a small meeting within the club to brainstorm and refine it."
"The vice president, Jingjing, and the others, along with me, will use this time to gather more information about the sanatorium."
The news club of University A does not just do some random interviews for entertainment. Many of the interviews they have done are not only published on the campus website, but many of them will also appear simultaneously on local websites and TV stations in City A.
This is enough to prove the high level of interviewing of news organizations.
Because of the many achievements made by the news club, it enjoys a high reputation in major universities, and every year the club also has many opportunities to promote television stations, publishing houses, video websites, etc.
Behind these honors are the strict requirements and high standards of news reporting by every member of the society.
Wen Ning also participated in two club activities. Although she didn't contribute much, she learned a lot. This time, Zhou Xiaoyan asked her to take the lead, which was both a pressure and a motivation.
Wen Ning agreed, and Zhou Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Junior Wen Ning, this is your first large-scale club activity since joining the club. I'm very optimistic about you, but don't feel too pressured. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. I promise to tell you everything I know."
Wen Ning smiled and thanked him. When his eyelashes drooped slightly, a dark and profound meaning flashed in his eyes.
She won't let her senior down.
It will not disappoint her who suffered through three years of hell, nor will it disappoint the patients who are still trapped in the darkness of the sanatorium, and it will not disappoint the patients who seem to have escaped from the sanatorium cage but are trapped in hell for the rest of their lives in body and mind.
This is the responsibility she gave herself, and also the shackles she willingly imprisoned herself with.
In the next few days, Wen Ning still had to go to class and go to the library as usual.
The only difference is that unlike before when I went to the library to look for information to study or read some journalism books, now I look for some interview-related materials and carefully write interview outlines.
On Friday night, Wen Ning, Zhou Xiaoyan and other members of the news club met together to brainstorm and discuss the procurement plan for the sanatorium.
The discussion lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Wen Ning, Liu Man and Xu Ziyang arrived at the bus stop at the east gate of A University campus.
Liu Man and Xu Ziyang are not members of the news club, but of the volunteer club.
A few days ago, after the volunteer club announced the volunteer activity at the nursing home, the two people also signed up very actively.
When Wen Ning and his friends arrived there, they saw dozens of classmates already waiting at the school gate.
The volunteer club is mostly made up of freshmen, and the journalism club, except for Wen Ning, is mostly made up of sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
As soon as Zhou Xiaoyan saw Wen Ning coming, she quickly waved at her, "Junior Wen Ning, come here quickly."
Wen Ning greeted his roommate and walked towards senior Zhou Xiaoyan.
Zhou Xiaoyan affectionately took Wen Ning's arm and introduced her, "Ningning, let me introduce you. This is Senior Chen Peng. He's currently a doctoral student in law and has founded his own law firm. He's a renowned lawyer in the industry. Most importantly, despite all his acclaim, he was also the president of our club the previous term!"
Listening to Zhou Xiaoyan praising him, Chen Peng smiled helplessly and said, "That's enough. If you keep praising me, I'll be blown to the sky."
Zhou Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue and said, "Telling the truth is not popular these days."
Wen Ning stood aside, smiled gently, and said politely, "Hello, Senior Chen."
Chen Peng's eyes fell on Wen Ning, and he was stunned by her appearance at first sight.
While complaining in his heart, no wonder Gu Shao, a Beijinger who has never been interested in men or women, was willing to fall at her feet.
On the other hand, I want to complain even more. Zhou Qingci must have been bewitched. He doesn't love his own beautiful, well-behaved, bright and generous sister, but instead loves that fake sister who looks like she comes from a mean family. He is really sick.
Chen Peng smiled and extended his hand to Wen Ning. "Hello, Junior Sister Wen. I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to meet you."
Have you heard of you for a long time?
A hint of surprise flashed across Wen Ning's eyes. Before he could say anything, Zhou Xiaoyan, smiling strangely, interrupted, "Senior, our Ningning has a boyfriend. He's tall and handsome, and they're very close. There's no hope for you to steal her away."
A row of crows flew across Chen Peng's forehead. He raised his hand and tapped Zhou Xiaoyan's forehead. "My girlfriend is standing right next to me. Who would I dare to steal her away?"
Zhou Xiaoyan covered her forehead, her fair cheeks flushed crimson, and she said with a smile, "You dare to steal your girlfriend when she's not around? Humph, all men really are pigs, don't you think, Ningning?"
Wen Ning's eyes wandered between the two of them, then he blinked and smiled, "Maybe."
Zhou Xiaoyan was not convinced. "What do you mean by possible? It is."
Chen Peng looked at her, a doting smile flashing in his eyes. "Alright, let's talk about this interview. I've seen the interview outline you made earlier. It's logical and organized, and the questions asked are all quite practical. For a newbie, it's already a pretty good interview outline."
Wen Ning said modestly, "I pre-studied a lot of journalism courses during the summer vacation. Also, because I spent three years in a sanatorium, I'm quite familiar with it, which gives me an innate advantage."
Chen Peng smiled and said, "That's very good, you are very good."
The compliment seemed appropriate, but Wen Ning inexplicably felt that there was something else behind it.
Senior Chen Peng, do you know her?
But before Wen Ning could think about it, Zhou Xiaoyan happily rushed over, hugged Wen Ning, and said with a smile, "Of course, Wen Ning is a rising star who was begged and requested to join the news agency. Of course he is excellent."
Wen Ning was somewhat helpless, "Senior, you're exaggerating."
"Hehe." Zhou Xiaoyan smiled, then thought, "Oh, I haven't finished introducing him to you yet. He's the former president of our club. When he heard we were going to interview a sanatorium, he decided to go with us as our team leader because he had previously taken on a case related to a sanatorium and was quite interested in it."
Chen Peng shrugged and said, "A boy about seventeen or eighteen years old came to my law firm for consultation. He had been sexually abused in a youth rehabilitation center and asked if there was any way to report it. However, before I could get any more information, the boy's family came and took him away. They also said that the boy was mentally unstable and that his nonsense was nonsense, so I should not mind it."
"After all, there was a guardian to guarantee it, and the receptionist at the law firm didn't say anything more and just sent them out. But I still feel like something's not right about this. It just so happened that Yanyan mentioned that the club was planning to visit the nursing home, so I decided to go along and take a look."
Zhou Xiaoyan listened to this high-sounding speech and complained silently in her heart, that poor little boy of seventeen or eighteen years old couldn't be Zhou Qingci, haha.
Wen Ning didn't know the real situation, so he immediately became nervous when he heard Chen Peng's words. "What happened next? Did the little boy go to the law firm again?"
Chen Peng replied, "No, I did leave a phone number, but when our receptionist called back, no one answered. After all, the law firm is a business, not a charity, so let's not put this matter aside."
Although the number of patients in the sanatorium is constantly changing, the number is basically maintained at around 500. Together with the doctors, nurses, cleaners, cooks and other staff in the sanatorium, there are about 700 to 800 people in the hospital.
With so many people, it was impossible for Wen Ning to know them all. In addition, the information Chen Peng revealed about the person involved was too little, so Wen Ning could not figure out who it was.
However, I couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in my heart.
At this moment, the leader of the volunteer club also came over and took the initiative to greet Chen Peng.
After some pleasantries, they couldn't help but start chatting.
"Speaking of which, it was the sanatorium that took the initiative to invite us to this volunteer activity. Actually, in City A, we've worked with a lot of communities, nursing homes, and schools for young people with intellectual disabilities, and most of them have been very welcoming of us volunteering. However, this sanatorium has repeatedly rejected us. I don't know what the heck was going on this time that they actually took the initiative to invite us over."
Chen Peng recalled that when he left the detention center that day, he saw a strange smile on the face of Zhou Yaya's lawyer. For some reason, he always felt that it was related to the sanatorium activity.
However, now that I have given it some thought, I have decided to go to the sanatorium to see the situation in detail.
"I guess they've figured it out. They'll just go if they're told to."
After another ten minutes, when all the students who wanted to participate in the event had arrived, the group boarded the pre-booked bus and headed towards the sanatorium.
After Wen Ning got on the bus, he found a seat and sat down, then took out his phone to reply to the message.
This time, Wen Ning did not hide the fact that he went to the sanatorium to participate in the activities with his classmates from Zhou Qinghe or Gu Boyan.
These two people knew best how much harm the sanatorium had inflicted on Wen Ning, so they were very worried.
Not to mention that this time the sanatorium seemed to be well prepared, which made them even more worried.
Zhou Qinghe was anxious to follow Wen Ning.
But in the end, Wen Ning persuaded him to stop.
Gu Boyan didn't say much, but just told her to be careful and to call him anytime if she had any questions.
After nearly an hour's drive, everyone finally arrived at the sanatorium.
This sanatorium is located in the suburbs, far away from the city center, and is a bit remote.
From a distance, this sanatorium does not look like a traditional hospital. Instead, it looks more like a luxurious castle built by a wealthy family halfway up the mountain.
"Oh my god, this sanatorium is so luxurious just looking at the exterior. It doesn't look like a hospital at all. If you don't know, you would think it's a European castle." One classmate said in shock.
"I searched online before coming here and heard that the annual treatment fee at this sanatorium is 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. My goodness, with such a high fee, it's natural that the target audience is those wealthy people, so the environment must be worthy of the price. The main purpose is to be high-end."
"But after all, a hospital should look like a hospital. This really doesn't look like one."
"Who said it's a hospital? The official name is a sanatorium. It provides high-end nursing services to wealthy people. But maybe their target audience isn't everyone, but mainly teenagers."
"Hahaha, I originally heard that I was coming to a mental hospital to participate in volunteer activities. I thought that the people there were all mentally ill and disabled people. I didn't want to come at first, but now that I see this castle-like sanatorium, I'm suddenly glad that I came. Hahaha, I'm glad I came."
"This trip is worth it."
Those who said these words were from the volunteer club, while the students from the journalism club did not join in the discussion. Instead, they all had serious expressions, as if they were deep in thought.
It's very simple. No matter whether the clients of this sanatorium are the general public or the wealthy class, it is essentially a sanatorium that focuses on mental problems and is essentially a hospital.
But is it really appropriate for a hospital to be so luxurious?
This question flashed through the minds of many students in the journalism club.
Wen Ning heard the discussion of her classmates but did not join in. She just leaned against the car window, staring at the sanatorium that was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly she recalled the beginning when Zhou Qingci grabbed her neck and brought her here forcefully. Although she was extremely sad and angry at that time, she felt a glimmer of hope when she saw this sanatorium that seemed to be hidden in a flower scroll. Maybe if she stayed here for a month or two, the doctor would issue the discharge procedures for her after seeing how well she was doing, and she might even be able to catch up with the start of university.
But after really entering here, I found that this was an abyss hell with a mouth full of fangs that sucked blood.
But now, she will once again enter this abyss, pull out the bloody fangs of the evil beast with her own hands, break its sharp claws, and expose its ugly sins!!!
Soon, the bus arrived at the gate of the sanatorium.
There are two rows of security guards standing on both sides of the gate, with about 10 people in each row, which means there are 20 security guards guarding the gate alone.
Many students were shocked when they saw this scene. It’s just a hospital. Does it need so many security guards?
If you don’t know, you might think it is some important protection base.
Soon, Chen Peng, Zhou Xiaoyan and the volunteer group leader Jiang Li got out of the car to negotiate with the sanatorium security guards.
