The exchange of fire between Mie and Wolf Spider was too loud. After "rescuing" Shi Jin, Lian Jun immediately began to arrange for the retreat of the personnel.
Considering that Xiang Aoting was a soldier and had rich combat experience, in order to avoid him seeing the clues, Lian Jun deliberately sent Gua San to block the other brothers of the Shi family, leading them to bypass the bottom lane and not letting them go deep into the "battlefield" in the middle of the warehouse.
In the warehouse, Shi Weichong quickly calmed down his emotions after Gua Yi's reminder, and concentrated on helping the doctor who arrived later to transfer Xu Jie to the stretcher. Shi
Jin stood aside and watched, without actively calling Shi Weichong, nor did he take the initiative to go forward to find him. He knew that Shi Weichong must be in a very confused mood at the moment, and he might not want to see him.
After standing for a while, Shi Jin suddenly felt that his body was getting more and more uncomfortable. Lian Jun saw that he was not in a good condition, so he quickly stuffed him onto the stretcher and forced him to lie down and rest. Shi Jin compromised and really closed his eyes and began to rest.
Everyone hurriedly moved out. When they were halfway there, they met Xiang Aoting and others led by Gua San. After a brief conversation, everyone retreated out together. Shi Jin
didn't remember much about what happened afterwards. He passed out not long after evacuating Warehouse No. 1. The sequelae of the buff were more severe than he thought. After relaxing his body, high fever and sore throat came to him at the same time, torturing him to the point where he would rather die than live.
When he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.
It was not yet completely bright outside, and the light in the room was a little dim. Shi Jin forced his heavy eyelids open, turned his head and looked around. He saw that he was lying in a ward, and Lian Jun was still sleeping on the accompanying bed next to him. He quickly covered his mouth to suppress the cough that was about to burst out, touched his throat that was extremely uncomfortable, poked Xiao Si in his heart, and asked: "What's the situation now?"
"Ah! Jinjin, you finally woke up. I didn't expect the sequelae of the buff would be so severe. I'm sorry, sob, sob..." Xiao Si saw that he had regained consciousness, and was so excited that he shouted directly, and then he couldn't help crying. Shi
Jin felt that his head hurt more, and he bent down and pulled the quilt and coughed a few more times.
Seeing this, Xiao Si tried to hold back her tears and lowered her voice as she explained, "You fainted not long after you lay on the stretcher yesterday. I was very worried, so I sent you to the hospital. Xu Jie and Shi Weichong are also in this hospital. Xu Jie has already undergone bullet removal and facial suture surgery, and he should still be in a coma. Shi Weichong's wounds were not deep and have been bandaged. He came to see you and sat by your bed for a long time. Fei Yujing and the others went to a hotel near the hospital to rest, and they should come again today. I stayed with you for half the night, and only lay down to rest after your fever subsided. I just fell asleep a few hours ago." After
hearing the situation, Shi Jin felt a little more at ease, and he turned his head to look at the accompanying bed. Lian Jun, who was not woken up by him, curled his lips, thought of something, and quickly retracted his gaze to look at his progress bar - he had gone through so much trouble just for this, he must lower it, and it would be best to eliminate it all at once...
Xiao Si noticed his action, his voice was stiff and he said dryly: "Jin Jin, Xu Jie is indeed the cause of your death. After she fell into a coma, your progress bar dropped directly to 100, but after she had the operation, your progress bar rose again, to 300..." Shi Jin
: "..."
Xiao Si hesitated: "The progress bar was not cleared directly, and it even rose a little after Xu Jie got better. Does this mean... it means..."
"It means Xu Jie is still vicious and will not let me go as long as he is alive." Shi Jin was almost in despair. He lay paralyzed on the bed and stared at the ceiling, with no desire to live. "Does this progress bar have to be cleared by killing Xu Jie?"
Let's not talk about killing Xu Jie, what will Shi Wei Chong do? As for himself, he didn't want to be involved in a human life just to clear the progress bar. Whether from the perspective of humanity or principle, he would not allow himself to do so.
"It's very likely so." Xiao Si answered carefully. Seeing that he was in a low mood, he hurriedly comforted him, "Maybe it's not because of Xu Jie. You see, your progress bar is sometimes affected by the baby. Could it be because of-" "
But Lian Jun's progress bar didn't go up. If I was affected by him, then his progress bar should have gone up as well." Shi Jin sighed, and then looked at the progress bar belonging to Lian Jun in his mind. In a blink of an eye, he found that the value of the progress bar seemed to be a little wrong. He frowned and blinked, suspecting that he had just woken up and his mind was not clear yet. He raised his hand to rub his forehead and continued to look over, then sat up and exclaimed, "It went down! Lian Jun's progress bar went down!"
"What?" Xiao Si was frightened and hurriedly looked at Lian Jun's progress bar, then screamed, "Ahhh, it really dropped! 499, it dropped a little! This is the first time that the baby's progress bar has dropped below 500! Is the treatment working?"
"Absolutely!" Shi Jin immediately perked up, not caring about his own progress bar at all. He turned his head and looked at Lian Jun on the accompanying bed, with a twisted expression of shock and surprise on his face.
Lian Jun opened his eyes and looked at him quietly.
"Uh..." Shi Jin froze and began to recall whether he had accidentally said what he said in his mind when he was talking to Xiao Si just now.
After thinking for a while, he was sure that there was no answer, because his throat was so sore now, and he absolutely could not speak in a normal voice in reality... So Lian Jun was most likely woken up by the noise he made when he suddenly sat up.
"Good morning." He smiled stiffly and greeted him, trying to get away with it, and then he tragically discovered that his voice was extremely unpleasant, as harsh as nails scratching glass, and he was so scared that he raised his hands to cover his neck.
Lian Jun blinked, and the confusion in his eyes from just waking up quickly faded away. He threw back the quilt, got up and walked to the bed. He raised his hand to touch his forehead, and found that it was not hot anymore. He sat down beside him with confidence, and naturally stretched out his arms to hug him, stroked his back, and asked: "Are you having a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
What a gentle and considerate baby. Shi Jin
's psychological fright was instantly soothed, he relaxed his body, hugged him back, and closed his eyes contentedly.
It's so nice to have this person around. "Are you still sleepy? Drink some water before you go to sleep." Lian Jun leaned his head to kiss him and asked softly. As you wish, as you wish. Shi Jin nodded, but held him tightly in his arms. Seeing this, Lian Jun simply leaned over to hug him, took the thermos on the bedside table, twisted it open, stepped back a little, and put the kettle to his mouth. Shi Jin stopped when he saw that it was going well, let go of him, took the kettle and drank a sip of water, and immediately felt that his sore and itchy throat felt much better, he smiled at Lian Jun, and just as he was about to open his mouth to talk to him, Lian Jun pinched his lips. "The doctor said that your throat is seriously damaged and you need to take good care of it. You should try to talk less these days." Lian Jun instructed, then let go of his mouth, let him lie back on the bed, bent down and kissed him on the forehead, and said, "Go to sleep, it's still early." Shi Jin was actually a little worried that Lian Jun would ask him how his throat was damaged, and he had even decided to confess about his death, but he didn't expect Lian Jun to just skip this point. So he temporarily suppressed these thoughts, nodded obediently, and motioned Lian Jun to go back to sleep as well - Lian Jun's progress bar had just dropped by 1 point, and it couldn't go back up because of lack of sleep.
Lian Jun understood what he meant, kissed him again, and said, "I'll go back to sleep, too. Remember to call me if you need anything." Shi Jin
nodded, closed his eyes first, listened to the movement of Lian Jun lying back on the bed, looked at the progress bar of Lian Jun in his mind, was absent-minded for a while, and fell asleep again unknowingly.
When he woke up again, the time had turned to ten o'clock in the morning, Lian Jun had woken up long ago, and was sitting by the bed reading documents.
Shi Jin felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long again. He got up quickly, washed up, and then cooperated with the doctor to do the daily checkup. He took medicine and made sure that his throat was better before he asked, "Did you do the exercise this morning?"
Lian Jun didn't expect that he would rush to care about him as soon as he could speak. His mood improved. He poured him a glass of honey water and replied, "I did exercise. I did it in another ward. Do you want to check it out?" He pointed to his collar.
Shi Jin reached out without hesitation, moved over, pulled open his collar and took a look, pinched his arm, nodded seriously and said, "Well, the muscle condition shows that you have indeed exercised and you are not lying. Here, reward me." He moved over and kissed Lian Jun.
Lian Jun was amused by him, pinched his face, pointed to the outside of the ward, and said: "Shi Weichong is outside, waiting to see you. Xu Jie woke up this morning, and his mental state is not very good. He may need to see a psychiatrist."
Not very good mental state?
Shi Jin glanced at his progress bar that was stable at 300, frowned, and responded: "Let Shi Weichong come in first."
Lian Jun nodded, pulled the quilt for him, turned around and prepared to call someone.
Shi Jin stopped him again and asked, "Mr. Lian, if I say I am not going to send Xu Jie to prison as originally planned, will you blame me?"
Mr. Lian stopped the wheelchair, looked back at him, and replied seriously, "I won't blame you, but I don't recommend you do this. Hidden dangers are always hidden dangers. If you want to avoid future troubles, you can either eliminate the hidden dangers directly or control them. It is not a good choice to continue to let it go."
"I know." Shi Jin sighed, grabbed his hair helplessly, and said, "I can't get rid of Xu Jie directly. If I send her to prison, Shi Wei Chong will definitely not bear it and will definitely come to me for help. I can't continue to rub salt into Shi Wei Chong's wounds for the time being... In fact, I have thought of a more compromising method that can control Xu Jie and give Shi Wei Chong a temporary reprieve."
Lian Jun's eyes moved and asked, "What method?" Shi Jin
did not answer but asked, "Does Mie have his own mental hospital abroad? The kind that is more isolated from the world."
Lian Jun immediately understood what he meant, pointed his finger at the armrest of the wheelchair, suddenly smiled, and said, "There are many such places."
...
Lian Jun put Shi Weichong into the ward, then left, leaving the space to the two brothers.
Shi Weichong was also wearing a hospital gown, and his face looked very haggard, with heavy dark circles under his eyes and red bloodshot. After he sat down beside Shi Jin's bed, he first checked Shi Jin's condition, then asked, "How is your body?"
"Pretty good, the fever has gone away, and now it's just that my throat still hurts a little." Shi Jin replied, poured him a glass of water, and asked, "How are you, are the wounds serious?"
Shi Weichong shook his head, took the water, was silent for a while, and after considering his tone, he said, "Xiao Jin, I'm sorry, I..."
"I don't have to send Xu Jie to prison. This kidnapping did not alarm the authorities. We handled it all by ourselves, so we don't have to go through legal procedures." Shi Jin interrupted him and got straight to the point. When Shi Weichong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him, he said seriously, "But I can't forgive what Xu Jie did to my mother. Although she didn't do it herself, she did induce my mother to commit suicide." Shi Weichong
tightened his grip on the water cup, his eyes dimmed again, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I heard that Xu Jie's mental state is not very good and she needs to see a psychiatrist." Shi Jin didn't like the current conversation atmosphere. He pulled the quilt, looked down at his palm, and said in detail, "Maybe I have a dark mind. I always feel that she is pretending to have mental problems. One of my fifth brother's senior brothers seems to be a very famous psychiatrist. I hope he can assess Xu Jie's mental condition. Then my request is that no matter what the final assessment result of Xu Jie is, you must send Xu Jie to a mental hospital under the name of the exterminator, and never allow her to come out again in her lifetime."
Shi Weichong was stunned and couldn't help calling him: "Xiao Jin..."
"She did something wrong and must be punished." Shi Jin interrupted him again, looking up at him with a firm gaze, "I can not kill her, and even prevent her from suffering in prison, but I can't forgive her and let her live comfortably for the rest of her life, or even find a chance to hurt me again! Brother, you can say I am cruel or heartless, but I will never give in on this one point. The hospital must be decided by me, and you can arrange the people who take care of her yourself, and you can even go to investigate the environment in person to see if I will send someone to secretly abuse her, but she must not be free, and I only have one life, and I don't want to be on guard in fear anymore--"
"I'm sorry." Shi Weichong suddenly put down the water cup, walked forward and hugged him tightly, his voice deep, "I'm sorry, Xiaojin, I didn't mean to force you into this... I'm sorry." Shi Jin
was stunned, turned his head slightly to look at him, and called: "...Brother?"
"You don't have to back down again and again for me." Shi Weichong closed his eyes tightly and said, "No need for appraisal, my mother's mental condition is not a problem at all, she pretended to be sick just to evade legal responsibility, I came here this time to tell you this. You can do whatever you want to her, I will not have any objection."
"...Ah? Aren't you here to..." beg for mercy? Shi
Jin was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on.
"I'm not that confused." Shi Weichong heard the surprise in his tone, stepped back and let go of him, looked at his dazed look, raised his hand and touched his hair, showing a very bitter smile, and said: "This is so unfair to you. You have already given her a chance, but she didn't cherish it."
"Brother." Shi Jin looked at him as if he had thought everything through, and his heart began to uneasy.
"I'm fine." Shi Weichong shook his head at him and said, "I thought a lot yesterday, about what my mother said, about our time together, and about what I have done in the past few decades... I thought about it all night, trying to find something that makes me happy, but I found that there is nothing. In all these years, except for money, I have not missed anything. Maybe my subconscious mind has already realized this, so I have always wanted to tie you to me... How did you describe it before? Overcompensation mentality, yes, that should be it. The more I lack something, the more I ask for it, regardless of it, but it has caused a lot of unnecessary burdens for you, and indirectly led to the current result."
"Brother, this is not your problem." Shi Jin retorted, not agreeing with him taking all the blame on himself.
"You don't have to comfort me, I understand." Shi Weichong still shook his head and said, "I'm not saying this to give up on myself or escape, I've just never been so clear-headed as I am now. I know my mother's character best. She is stubborn, tolerant, and will not stop until she achieves her goal. From the beginning to the end, she has been making mistakes. She has pushed you to this point, and I will not help the evil. She can't be awakened anymore, and forgiving her again and again will only make her sink deeper and deeper. I am very grateful that you didn't let her pay for her life with her own. It's up to you how you want to deal with her this time."
Shi Jin frowned and asked, "Can I put her in a mental hospital? For a lifetime?"
"It's up to you." Shi Weichong touched his hair again, comforting and promising, "Xiao Jin, you don't have to be on guard anymore, and you don't have to be afraid anymore. I will never let her hurt you a second time, absolutely not."
Shi Weichong left after saying this. Shi Jin watched him leave, and always felt that there was something wrong with his state when he said the last sentence. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and called Li Jiuzheng.
...
Although Shi Weichong told Shi Jin very confidently that Xu Jie's mental problems were fake, Shi Jin still contacted Li Jiuzheng and asked his senior brother to come and see Xu Jie in person.
After some examination and contact, Li Jiuzheng's senior brother gave the same answer as Shi Weichong - Xu Jie did not have any mental illness. She was now in an overly calm state after an emotional outburst. All the mental breakdowns were fake.
Shi Weichong reacted very calmly to this conclusion. After hearing it, he was even able to talk to Li Jiuzheng's senior brother very politely, and cared about Li Jiuzheng's situation in the sect.
Li Jiuzheng's senior brother cooperated and talked to him, and then after leaving the hospital, he called Shi Jin.
"Your mental state is indeed a bit bad, too depressed." Li Jiuzheng's senior brother's first sentence directly chilled Shi Jin's heart.
Sure enough, there was a problem, Shi Jin frowned.
When he talked to Shi Weichong before, Shi Weichong appeared to be very mature and calm, as if he had let things go, but he always felt that Shi Weichong's emotional adjustment speed was a little too fast. His calm appearance was more like a state of stress and self-abuse after being pushed to the limit. After realizing this, he immediately contacted Li Jiuzheng, asked for Li Jiuzheng's number, and asked him to check on Shi Weichong's situation while checking on Xu Jie's situation.
"Is his problem serious?" Shi Jin asked.
"A little bit." Li Jiuzheng's senior brother answered, and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Shi, is your relationship with your eldest brother not very good? Have you ever had a situation where he did something to let you down and wanted to compensate you, but you never accepted it?"
Shi Jin didn't understand why he asked this, and replied, "My relationship with him is indeed not very good. The situation you mentioned also happened, but I just simply didn't want his things, not blaming him for anything."
"It seems that this is the problem." Senior Brother Li Jiuzheng sighed and said, "When I chatted with him, I found that he was very concerned about your situation and had an urgent desire to compensate you and the other brothers, but everyone seemed to be reluctant to accept his compensation. Any emotion that is suppressed for a long time and cannot be vented will gradually accumulate and eventually cause serious psychological problems... In short, To be honest, he is about to be crushed by his own guilt, and some recent events have made him feel that he has lost the position to make compensation, so he is very upset now, and has a tendency to self-destruct along with the source of the error. You'd better find a way to enlighten him. "
Shi Jin didn't expect the situation to be like this. Thinking of the last promise made by Shi Weichong during the previous conversation, he frowned.
...
That night, after thinking it over, Shi Jin called Shi Weichong over and said straight to the point: "Brother, you were right before. Forgiving again and again will only make people sink deeper and deeper. This applies not only to Xu Jie, but also to you. Brother, you will stay in the mental hospital with Xu Jie for half a year. After half a year, I will allow you to come out, and you can come out again."
Shi Weichong was stunned and asked, "Is this a punishment for me?"
No, this is to let you relax. And why are you asking this question so expectantly.
Shi Jin did not answer, but looked at him expressionlessly, as if he had acquiesced.
Shi Weichong looked at his expression and suddenly smiled, with a bit of relief. He leaned forward and hugged him, sighing: "I understand...Xiao Jin, you have to be well, I will miss you."
"I won't miss you." Shi Jin replied stiffly, without hugging him back, and even pushed him away with resistance, saying, "Go out, I want to rest."
Shi Weichong was pushed stiffly, but he quickly covered it up, smiled at him, pulled the quilt for him, turned and left.
The ward became quiet, and Shi Jin held on for a while with an expressionless expression, then suddenly fell back on the hospital bed and let out a long sigh - blindly forgiving will only make people sink deeper and deeper... It's so troublesome.
...
After Shi Jin made the decision, Lian Jun arranged the hospital matters as quickly as possible, and then handled the formalities for Xu Jie and Shi Weichong respectively, packed them up and sent them on the plane.
Shi Jin did not go to the airport to see them off, but just lay on the windowsill of the ward bored, staring at his progress bar in a daze.
Time passed by minute by minute, and at the moment when the flight departure time arrived, Shi Jin found that his progress bar had dropped to 200.
Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When Xu Jie arrives at the hospital and is under strict supervision, the progress bar should drop a little more."
"Probably." Shi Jin retracted his gaze and answered, slumped on the sofa by the window, feeling a little aggrieved. This time, in order to let Shi Weichong have a good rest, he had no choice but to reluctantly pick a slightly less bad hospital for Xu Jie.
"Why don't bad people get punished? Why is she living so comfortably..." He muttered unhappily, a little unwilling.
"She won't live comfortably." Lian Jun's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Shi
Jin was startled and turned his head to look.
Lian Jun moved his wheelchair over, reached out and touched his wide eyes, and said, "I prepared a gift for her. Her hospital life will definitely be wonderful." Shi Jin
digested his words, and his heart was instantly filled with hope. He sat up and asked, "What gift? Did you arrange a terrible doctor for her?"
"No." Lian Jun really liked to see his expectant and trusting expression. He curled his lips and explained, "Do you remember the nurse that Xu Jie bribed back then? After she forced your mother to death, in order to avoid Shi Xingrui's investigation and not be silenced by Xu Jie, she lived a terrible life in hiding for many years. She really had some mental problems. I tried to send her to live next door to Xu Jie." Shi Jin then
remembered that he had such a chess piece. His eyes became brighter and brighter. He couldn't help but hugged Lian Jun tightly, praising him crazily for his intelligence. Then he sat up straight and roared with full energy: "It's really a wheel of karma. No one can escape from the indignation of heaven!" As the saying goes, evildoers will be punished by evildoers. Let Xu Jie and the nurse who hated her torture each other! It's so refreshing! It's great!
Lian Jun reached out and turned his face back, then changed the subject and said, "Now that Xu Jie's matter is dealt with, we should talk about your matter."
"Huh? My matter? What matter?" Shi Jin obediently let him hold his face, and asked in a foggy voice, "Are you going to talk about the start of school? That's no problem, I've recovered, you don't have to worry."
"I'm not worried about that." Lian Jun asked him to lower his head and look at the document on his lap, and said, "This is what Shi Wei Chong gave me before he left. It contains the next stage of Ruixing's development plan. Ruixing is now in your hands, so as the new president of Ruixing, how are you going to deal with this huge thing?"
Shi Jin's proud mood just turned gray. Looking at the document on Lian Jun's lap, he was dumbfounded - it's over, how could he forget about this? Shi Wei Chong had just been forced to take a six-month vacation by him, what should Ruixing do? He doesn't know how to manage a company!
