Chapter 124 Who bullied her? Why?
Xing Yu went to a psychiatric hospital according to the address on the medical record.
He stood at the door for a long time before going in.
Lin Yan’s attending physician, Dr. Hou, was found in a consultation room on the third floor.
Xing Yu tried his best to make his voice sound steady and asked Dr. Hou about Lin Yan's condition.
However, Dr. Hou's reaction was very wary, and his cloudy eyes instantly became alert, as if he was measuring his intentions.
"Sir, everything you just asked is the patient's privacy." Dr. Hou's attitude was very clear.
"Besides, Xiaoyan never mentioned you to me. I haven't seen any of her relatives since she fell ill. I only know that a Mr. Song has been with her for the past few years. Sorry, I can't tell you."
Xing Yu took out his cell phone and turned on the photo of Lin Yan on the screen saver. She looked at him seriously and negotiated.
"Doctor, I'm Lin Yan's boyfriend. Maybe she didn't want me to worry, so I always thought she was suffering from depression. I hope you can tell me what her illness is. Only after I know everything can I help her recover as soon as possible."
After Dr. Hou confirmed that the photo on the phone screen was Lin Yan, he still shook his head at him.
"Sir, Xiaoyan must have her own reasons for not telling you. I can't reveal her secret to you against her wishes. This is my professional ethics as a doctor."
Xing Yu held the phone, and his fingertips had already turned white.
But the voice was full of pleading and sincerity.
"Doctor, don't worry, I won't ask her... I just want to know why she got this disease? What else can I do for her..."
Doctor Hou's heart softened as he looked at the man in front of him whose eyes were filled with extreme sadness.
He clasped his hands together and hesitated for a moment, his thumb stroking the base of his palm.
After a long silence, he sighed solemnly and slowly spoke to him: "What happened to Xiaoyan was too cruel. When she told me about it herself, I couldn't bear to listen..."
"Since you're Xiaoyan's boyfriend, there are some things you should know sooner or later. There's not much I can tell you... Xiaoyan's schizophrenia is due to the severe bullying she suffered in high school."
"At first, she was just suffering from simple depression and anxiety, but her condition worsened and she gradually developed schizophrenia. Not only that, she also suffered from moderate panic disorder..."
Dr. Hou stopped and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I still remember the first time Xiaoyan came to the hospital was in her senior year of high school, right before the college entrance exam. It was over 30 degrees Celsius, and she was wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt and jeans. Later I learned she was trying to hide her injuries..."
"She's clearly the same age as my daughter, yet she's shrouded in a gloom that can't be wiped off... Her eyes are like two black holes, devoid of life, only dead silence."
"Later, her condition stabilized. I often asked her, how did she manage to study hard and get into a prestigious university while battling the disease and being bullied at the same time?"
Dr. Hou smiled, her voice becoming a little unsteady. "She said, 'Since there's no way to change the current situation, let's use the pain of the present to change the future.' She had no one to rely on, so she could only study hard and rely on knowledge to change her fate."
"But Xiaoyan did it... got into a good university, found a job she loves... Her condition had stabilized in the past few years, but for some reason, it recently relapsed..."
During the entire process, Xing Yu didn't say a word.
He listened quietly, and every word Dr. Hou said was reproduced in his mind.
But the reaction became very slow.
He had forgotten how he left the hospital. It was not until he walked out and the sunlight pierced his eyes that he finally calmed down.
Severe bullying...
Schizophrenia...
He really couldn't associate these horrifying words with Lin Yan.
How could the little girl who used to be so lively and cheerful under the locust tree have experienced so much hardship and suffering...
The cell phone rang at this time. He took a look and saw it was Wang Yixun.
He really wasn't in the mood to answer it, so he turned off the screen and slowly walked towards the car.
As soon as he got in the car, his cell phone rang again. Xing Yu took a deep breath, answered it but didn't say anything.
"Old Xing, come to Manzun quickly." Wang Yixun's voice was serious and urgent: "I found the person you are looking for."
After hanging up the phone, Xing Yu stepped on the accelerator and rushed to Manyun.
The forty-minute journey was completed in just twenty minutes.
He went straight to Wang Yixun's office and when he opened the door, Wang Yixun was standing by the window smoking.
Wang Yixun held the cigarette between his fingers: "You flew here? So fast."
Xing Yu lowered his eyes and went straight to the point: "Where is the person?"
Wang Yixun stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray, then walked toward him. "Most of Lin Yan's high school classmates you asked me to inquire about are not in Qingyang, and those who are are unwilling to reveal too much about Lin Yan's past."
Wang Yixun frowned and continued, "Even if they did... they wouldn't tell the truth. A few days ago, I had someone find Lin Yan's high school class monitor. He was tight-lipped at first, but today he contacted me and said he'd tell the truth, but he wanted 200,000 yuan in cash."
"Give it to me." Xing Yu: "Give it to me no matter how much it costs."
Wang Yixun: "He's in the lounge. I'll let him in now."
"Um."
Wang Yixun pinched his shoulder as he left: "Old Xing, I just had a brief chat with him...um...be mentally prepared..."
A few minutes later, a man in brown clothes and black pants walked in stiffly.
He should be only twenty-eight or twenty-nine, but he has white hair on his temples and his skin is dark and looks tired.
He bent his body slightly and rubbed his hands nervously on the white seams of his pants.
"Hello... hello..."
Xing Yu raised his hand and pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit down."
The man sat down on the sofa, rubbing his thighs.
Xing Yu: "What's your name?"
"Zhang Meng..."
Xing Yu tried his best to suppress the cold and arrogant air in his body and nodded slightly at him.
"Mr. Zhang, let's get straight to the point. What exactly happened to Lin Yan back then? Who bullied her? Why? Who was involved? Please tell me everything truthfully, and of course, I will agree to your terms."
