Chapter 44 Five Minutes



"Let go..." Xiaonan's mother, who had been shouting, suddenly stopped struggling and looked at Zhu Jin blankly.

"Gudong..." Qin Ju looked at Zhu Jin's cold eyes and felt the overwhelming aura from Zhu Jin. He couldn't help swallowing and let go of Xiaonan's mother.

"Gudong...blood...blood is coming out!" One of the onlookers couldn't help swallowing and stammered.

Basil was awakened instantly by these words. He looked down at the blood dripping from the wound on Zhu Jin's forehead. His pupils shrank suddenly. He finally found his voice and shouted without thinking, "Call a doctor!"

The sound was so loud that it woke everyone up.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xiaonan's father, who had gone to handle the formalities, also came back. He was startled when he heard the noise from a distance. He squeezed in with weak hands and feet, and was immediately stunned when he saw the chaotic scene in the ward.

"Nonsense, this is just nonsense!" Doctor Nan, who finally reacted, exploded, no longer caring that they were in the ward, "Someone hurry up and drag Lian Nan away!" After shouting, he found that no one moved, and he was shaking with anger, "This is a rebellion! This is a rebellion!"

“…I’m fine.” Zhu Jin glanced at Doctor Nan indifferently, without looking at Xiaonan’s parents. He slightly turned his head to glance at Basil and whispered something. He raised his arm and wiped the blood that was about to flow into his eyes without a care, then turned around and held Xiaonan’s hand.

"...I'm sorry, Miss Lian Nan, I revealed your privacy." Shang Lu said the last sentence on TV.

Zhu Jin let go of Xiaonan's hand, glanced sideways, and had a deep look in his eyes.

“…Doctor Qin! The special medicine has been delivered.” Amidst Doctor Nan’s anxious panting, Xiaonan’s parents’ confusion, and everyone’s stunned expression, the intern reported in a low voice.

"Doctor Qin, the body temperature will drop in five minutes." Zhu Jin had already avoided the glass fragments on the ground. After saying this lightly, he walked out. The onlookers unconsciously made way for him and let Zhu Jin leave.

Basil was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up.

Xiaonan's mother had already rushed to Xiaonan's bedside, as if she didn't notice the glass on the floor.

"Doctor Qin, you really disappoint me today!" Doctor Nan watched Lian Nan walk away in a swagger, and was so angry that his eyes went dark. He checked the time and said, "Why don't you use the special antipyretic medicine quickly? If you have used it, it's time to settle the bill!"

"There are still five minutes until the agreed time. Please wait a little longer." Qin Ju glanced at her and said calmly, and instructed an intern, "Clean up."

"Qin Ju!" Doctor Nan yelled.

"Doctor Nan, this is the ward." Qin Ju glanced at her. "As for the investigation of Lian Nan's beating, this is not the right time, and it also depends on Lian Nan's own wishes."

"What did you say?" Doctor Nan looked at Qin Jue in disbelief and snorted, "Qin Jue, you have also learned to play dumb with me!" He was clearly asked to hold Lian Nan responsible, but he defended Lian Nan instead! In this case, don't blame her for being rude!

"Be prepared to inject the special antipyretic medicine!" Doctor Nan walked to Xiaonan's bedside, got close to the display screen connected to the bed, used pupil and fingerprint authentication to change Xiaonan's attending physician's authority to hers, turned around proudly and glanced coldly at Qin Jue, and spoke directly to the nurse who brought the special antipyretic medicine.

"Yes..." The nurse, who had no idea of ​​the situation, responded hesitantly, pushed the medicine forward and made preparations. After she was ready, she handed the special medicine to Doctor Nan. As soon as Doctor Nan took it, Xiaonan's mother, who had been nervously watching Xiaonan and the video display of Xiaonan's condition, immediately asked tremblingly, "Have five minutes passed?"

"What?" Doctor Nan's eyes widened. "You actually believed that mentally ill Lian Nan?"

"Just wait, there's only one minute left. Anyway, there are still three minutes left until the time you agreed on." Someone from the silent onlookers spoke up.

"Yes, why not wait..." Someone responded immediately, and Xiaonan's mother nodded vigorously.

"Stupid..." Doctor Nan's lips trembled for a long time, and he gritted his teeth and said two words, staring at Xiaonan's mother, waiting for her to despair. Qin Ju looked at her pale face, and pursed his lips slightly. As expected, Xiaonan's mother and everyone else would speak without him saying anything.

Qin Ju walked to the seat cleaned by the interns, and together with everyone else, quietly looked at the display screen, waiting with bated breath.

10, 9, 8…3, 2, 1. The five minutes Zhu Jin had mentioned were up. Doctor Nan grinned and said with a crazy smile, "Inject the special antipyretic medicine!"

For the first time, someone said the words "inject special medicine" in an extremely relieved and cheerful tone.

Doctor Nan brought the syringe close to the drip, but was frightened by Xiaonan's mother's scream and his hands began to tremble.

"It's surrendered!" A shocking shout echoed in the ward.

At the end of the ward, Zhu Jin was holding his head and enduring the pain as he received temporary care. The nurse who was doing the care was also made nervous by Basil's nervousness.

“…It must be very painful, but don’t worry, it won’t leave a scar.” Basil looked at Zhu Jin with a look that was more indescribable than before. Looking at Zhu Jin slightly tilting his head and closing his eyes to let the nurse treat the wound on his forehead, he couldn't help but ask.

"Ms. Lian Nan, why did you think of standing in front of me?" Apart from his parents, this was the first time someone had protected him like this, and this person was Lian Nan, whom he had known formally for less than a day... When he thought of Zhu Jin risking her life to stand in front of him, his heart became warm and sour...

"I can't let you get involved in helping me." Zhu Jin answered simply with his eyes closed.

“Is that so…” Oh, so that’s how it is… Basil was stunned…

"Lian Nan, someone is looking for you in the hall." Zhu Jin had just bandaged the wound on his forehead and had no time to change his bloodstained clothes when he received the notification.

"I'll go check." Zhu Jin slowly stood up, took a look at Xiaonan's ward and went to the hall. Basil, who was stunned, came to his senses and found that Zhu Jin was gone. Instead, there was a shout from Xiaonan's ward, and Basil jumped up and ran over.

Zhu Jin had just stepped out of the elevator when she was yelled at, "Lian Nan is here!". Wherever she looked, there were crowds of people. The reporters who were stopped in the middle of the hall by the hospital security guards had their eyes light up when they saw Lian Nan, and they became even more excited when they saw the blood on the bandage on her forehead. The next moment, they started barking questions at her one after another.

"Ms. Lian Nan, can you tell me why you were injured?"

"Ms. Lian Nan, to what extent are you mentally ill?"

"Ms. Lian Nan, please make sure to explain your medical skills clearly. The health and life of the patient cannot be ambiguous..."

"Ms. Lian Nan, #…%@&…*#" She kept asking questions, and even directly tested him in an alien language.

Zhu Jin laughed helplessly, took two steps forward and stood under the "No Noise" sign of the hospital, without saying a word, watching them quietly, letting them ask questions. The reporters kept asking questions at first, but as Zhu Jin watched, he subconsciously slowed down his shouting questions. After nearly three minutes, the reporters finally saw the sign, realized the situation, and shut up at the same time.

When they were quiet, Zhu Jin finally spoke, "I have listened to all your questions. Although I still don't know what they are about, I can answer your questions."

Zhu Jin affirmed, "I am mentally normal, and besides..." After a brief pause, under the reporters' scorching gazes, Zhu Jin looked around and gave an evaluation, "You are truly honest."

The reporters' jaws dropped to the ground. When they stretched their necks to express their deep confusion, Zhu Jin glanced at the video in the hall and then kindly said, "You believe whatever he says. If that's the case, why bother running to the hospital to ask me? Can't you just stay with him and say whatever he says?"
