Lu Rang: "No rush, discuss it with your family slowly, don't make any hasty judgments."
Shang Wu wasn't in a hurry at first, but now she was really anxious after hearing this: "My family respects me a lot! I really don't mind. You just like drinking milk, right? I'll drink it with you then, but I'm lactose intolerant, so I might get diarrhea."
Lu Rang: "..."
He hung up the phone and tossed a psychological diagnosis report at him.
Shang Wu opened the email, trying to understand the diagnosis results, and unconsciously read them aloud.
"Psychological trauma can trigger mood swings, which can manifest as self-isolation or loss of emotional control."
"Most of the time, they fall into silence, isolate themselves, and repeatedly engage in a particular behavior."
"The onset of the disease usually begins in winter and occurs frequently in spring, requiring patients to overcome their psychological trauma on their own..."
After reading it, Shang Wu took a deep breath and finally understood why Lu Rang wanted her to consider it carefully and why he was afraid of her finding out.
It turns out that drinking milk was just a specific behavior that Lu Rang repeated during his last episode of illness.
Next time, he might repeat something else.
Or perhaps, next time he won't shut himself off, but will instead go completely insane.
After thinking for a few seconds, Shang Wu picked up her phone and solemnly replied to Lu Rang.
[I can accept anything except dancing naked in the street.]
The message was sent, but Lu Rang didn't reply.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
"Mr. Shang, the content of this message you sent is so lacking in emotional intelligence!"
Shang Wu was so startled she almost dropped her phone. Turning around, she saw A Ying standing behind her, having been there for who knows how long.
She immediately held her phone screen upright, close to her chest.
"You saw everything?"
Aying nodded: "Attorney Lu has a mental illness."
"Shhh."
Shang Wu feigned a fierce expression: "You're not allowed to tell anyone."
Aying laughed: "No, why would I talk nonsense about such things? But Mr. Shang, no wonder people are ignoring you with that kind of reply."
Shang Wu was puzzled and somewhat unconvinced: "How should I reply?"
"You can say that no matter what, I will never leave you, I will never abandon you, we will never be defeated by difficulties, I will be with you..."
Before Shang Wu could finish listening, she got goosebumps all over: "Stop, this is fine, I won't say such mushy things."
She urged Aying to go to a meeting.
After Aying left, Shang Wu quickly received a call from Xiao Dong.
"Attorney Lu has brought Mr. Zhou back."
Shang Wu asked, "Is Lu Rang still there?"
"They're gone."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Shang Wu drove home.
At Zhou Yanci's doorstep, Xiao Dong was waiting.
Seeing her approach, Xiao Dong said, "He was knocked unconscious before he recovered from his concussion and hasn't woken up yet."
Shang Wu clicked her tongue, finding it troublesome.
Xiao Dong asked, "Mrs. Zhou called just now, and I answered for her. She said that the gentleman has gone home to rest and that the doctor will come to see him in a couple of days. She didn't suspect anything."
He followed Shang Wu upstairs: "Should we call a doctor to come and take a look at him?"
"No need, I won't die."
Shang Wu walked to the door of the room and saw Zhou Yanci sleeping on the bed with her eyes closed.
He was thinner, his cheekbones were slightly prominent, there were dark circles under his eyes, his whole face was filled with a lingering weariness, his bangs were stuck to his skin, and his lips were dry and chapped.
Thinking of Zhou Yanci's former flamboyant and eye-catching appearance in a suit, Shang Wu smiled sarcastically.
Do you think Zhou Yanci is still handsome?
Xiao Dong examined him carefully for two seconds: "His natural features are still there, so he's still handsome."
Shang Wu glanced at him: "Did a fly bite your eye?"
Xiao Dong scratched his head: "He... he's like a completely different person compared to before. I hardly recognize him."
"This is what happens when you mess with me."
Shang Wu walked over and stood by the bed: "He hasn't woken up yet, it's causing too much trouble."
A fleeting glimpse of the brother's reddened eyes flashed across my mind in prison.
A surge of hatred rose within her, and she reached out and grabbed Zhou Yanci by the neck.
Xiao Dong was taken aback: "President Shang..."
Shang Wu ignored him and forcefully clenched her fingertips.
Zhou Yanci's body temperature was a little high, and the skin on her neck was burning hot against her palm.
Shang Wu exerted even more force, staring intently at Zhou Yanci's face, which was gradually turning purple, her eyes icy cold.
She covered her hand with her second hand and pressed down hard.
Zhou Yanci's forehead veins bulged, and he broke out in a thin layer of sweat. He shuddered and was suddenly jolted awake.
The moment he opened his eyes, Shang Wu reluctantly let go of his hand.
She smiled and asked worriedly, "Yanci, you're awake. Did you have a nightmare?"
Looking at the woman so close to him, Zhou Yanci felt fear gripping his heart like vines.
He was gasping for breath, his eyes filled with a dark and fearful look. His voice was hoarse and strained as he spoke: "You, you just now..."
Shang Wu interrupted, "You had a nightmare just now, didn't you? You were choking yourself the whole time. Are you alright now?"
As she spoke, she considerately handed her a glass of water.
Xiao Dong was completely dumbfounded.
Zhou Yanci recalled what had happened before she woke up. She didn't go to get the glass of water, but stared intently at Shang Wu.
"Did you have someone knock me out and take me away?"
Shang Wu frowned: "What are you talking about? I was hoping you would get better soon so we could have a banquet together. How could I do something like this? I don't even know who those people are."
She held the water glass to Zhou Yanci's lips.
"Here, have some water."
Zhou Yanci was indeed extremely thirsty.
He quickly took the water glass from Shang Wu's hand, and was about to drink when he suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, and he directly waved her hand away: "I won't drink!"
Shang Wu stepped back, splashing water from her cup onto her coat.
Zhou Yanci pressed down on the edge of the bed, her eyes filled with apprehension and vigilance.
"Shang Wu, did you bribe your father's doctor to poison me?"
