The waiting process was very long. The three of them sat in the pavilion for an hour, and they were still able to chat as if nothing had happened.
Two hours passed, and Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying began to frequently check their watches, appearing distracted no matter what they were talking about.
Three hours passed, and Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying exchanged a glance before finally speaking.
"Brother, is that place safe?"
Yan Ting glared at him again, "Nonsense, if it's not safe here, where is it safe?"
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Of course, Yan Shao knew that this place was very safe, but even "very" did not mean 100%.
"Don't worry, there are people stationed around the pavilion. If there's any disturbance on his side, someone will act immediately and we will make sure nothing goes wrong."
Since Yan Ting had made his point so clear, even though Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying were anxious, they were too embarrassed to say anything more and could only continue to wait patiently.
With the time approaching one o'clock and Zizai having been sent there for nearly four hours, not only Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying were getting restless, but even Yan Ting kept checking his watch.
Just when the three of them were about to lose their patience, a series of steady and powerful footsteps came from the road where Yan Ting was taking Zizai, but apart from the footsteps, there was no other sound.
The three of them walked out of the pavilion together and jogged toward the sound of footsteps.
Ruomo walked twenty or thirty meters, turned a corner, and saw a soldier in military uniform striding towards him, carrying a yellow object in his arms.
Needless to say, the person he was holding was Zizai. Because Zhu Qianying wanted Zizai to be in a bright mood, she specially dressed him in his favorite yellow hooded short-sleeved shirt.
The three men quickly approached the soldier. Yan Shao quickly took Zizai from him and then realized that the little guy had fallen asleep.
"Did he just fall asleep, or was he already asleep when you picked him up from Dr. Zhao's place?" Yan Ting asked the question that Yan Shao and his wife wanted to ask.
"Reporting to the commander, Dr. Zhao asked me to go in and hold the young master. He is already asleep."
While Yan Ting questioned the soldier, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying carefully observed Zizai's little face.
Although the little one was asleep, you could still see his swollen, peach-like eyes, and obvious tear stains on his face. His long eyelashes were stuck together in small clumps by the tears, making him look quite pitiful.
Just looking at her like this, Zhu Qianying's heart was already clenched so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
She doubted whether she could handle being there in person.
"Is the baby alright?"
Zhu Qianying touched her son's forehead and cheeks with concern, her fingertips gently stroking his red and swollen eyes from crying.
"It should be alright..."
Seeing his son's miserable state, Yan Shao was no longer so sure.
"Don't worry, Young Master Yan, we've been secretly monitoring him. Although we couldn't hear what he was saying to the young master, there hadn't been any physical contact between them. It seems they've been talking the whole time. He also said that the young master is fine and will wake up around evening."
However, the absence of physical contact does not mean the absence of harm. The harm caused by words can sometimes be much greater than that caused by physical contact.
Some people carry psychological scars into old age, and these scars may simply be a careless but extremely hurtful remark made by someone in their childhood.
“Ying’er, given Zizai’s current condition, why don’t we have the driver take you home first, while my brother and I stay to watch the video?”
Yan Shao was worried that Zhu Qianying wouldn't be able to bear the images and even the content of the conversations between Dr. Zhao and Zizai. Moreover, given Zizai's current condition, he definitely needed to rest.
Zhu Qianying hesitated for a moment. Although she really wanted to know the truth of what happened back then, just as Yan Shao had guessed, she was actually afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Moreover, her son really needs her to stay with him in his current state, so that at least when he opens his eyes, he can see his loving family.
"Alright then, I'll go back with Zizai first."
So, Zhu Qianying and Zizai were driven back to Lao Yan's house to rest, while Yan Shao and Yan Ting stayed behind and watched the entire video with the police chief who had come from L City.
It must be said that Dr. Zhao is indeed skilled. He did not use any hypnosis or other methods, but simply used words to slowly guide Zizai and awaken his memories little by little.
No wonder Vic Chou subconsciously wanted to seal that memory away, because as he slowly recounted the scene, his little body trembled the whole time, and when he talked about the moment he was pushed off the stands, he burst into loud sobs.
Clearly, his swollen eyes were the result of this bout of crying.
When Zizai tearfully recounted how he saved himself and how he was submerged in the pool water at the bottom of the dark and cold rock until he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted, even the two grown men, Yan Shao and Yan Tingzhi, couldn't help but tear up.
Such a terrifying experience would be difficult for even a strong adult like them to endure, let alone a child under five years old.
In the video, you can see that when Vic Chou finished speaking, he had stopped crying, but he seemed to have been thrown back into that icy and dark abyss, and his whole body was trembling.
Dr. Zhao spoke to him for a long time to comfort him. This comforting process took nearly two hours, which is why Yan Shao and the others waited outside for nearly four hours.
During the nearly two-hour process of comforting him, Yan Shao finally understood why so many people regarded Dr. Zhao as a miracle doctor.
Previously, Dr. Zhao was also Yi Wei's doctor. However, because Yi Wei conspired with Yan Shao to deceive him, Yan Shao never witnessed Dr. Zhao's treatment of Yi Wei.
Now that I've seen it, I realize that although Dr. Zhao is dishonest when it comes to money and power, his medical skills are truly unparalleled. At least, there isn't another doctor in China who is as skilled as him, proficient in both brain surgery and medical psychology.
"Brother, even if we had brought a genius doctor like Dr. Zhao back then, without any protection or exchange, he would have only been sentenced to life imprisonment at most, right?"
Yan Ting nodded. "That's right, it's true. You know, several senior officers are suffering from similar illnesses. If he were sentenced to death, no one would be able to cure them if they had an attack. However, he was wise all his life but made a mistake for a moment."
Yan Shao roughly understood what Yan Ting meant, "He wasn't confused, he was just feeling guilty!"
