Xing Zhaozhao: "..." Too late, it's already been thrown out.
Chen Xiaomo was thrown a meter away by Xing Zhaozhao and crashed heavily to the ground with a "bang," which looked painful.
But she didn't care at all. Her eyes, filled with madness, were still fixed on Gao Mingcheng. She struggled to get up from the ground and tried to pounce on him again: "Bad man, give me back my baby..."
Xing Zhaozhao frowned, grabbed her arm, took the weapon from her hand, then found two towels, tied her hands and feet, and threw her onto the sofa.
She thought this would calm things down, but she didn't expect that the sudden restriction of her freedom would greatly agitate Chen Xiaomo. She struggled desperately while screaming, "Ah...bad person, bad person, give me back my baby, give him back my baby..."
The high-decibel, shrill voice pierced Xing Zhaozhao's skull, giving her a headache. She decided to go all in and delivered a karate chop, knocking the person unconscious.
The ward instantly returned to silence, and Xing Zhaozhao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
Turning to look at Gao Mingcheng again, she saw that the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding profusely, almost staining half of his body red. Xing Zhaozhao's heart tightened, and she quickly went over to cover the wound for him, and then pressed the nurse call button.
Gao Mingcheng looked at the tears welling up in Xing Zhaozhao's eyes, gave a weak smile, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, you won't die. I've had much worse injuries before, and I still survived."
Xing Zhaozhao pouted, glared at him, and said in a slightly choked voice, "You're so old, why don't you keep showing off?"
Gao Mingcheng gripped her hand tightly and said with a smile, "No, I don't want to die right now."
Now more than ever, he hopes to live to be a hundred. Having lost her for fifty years, he now only wants to spend as much time as possible with her.
Just then, the nurse pushed open the door and walked in.
"You..." Before she could even feel happy to see Gao Mingcheng awake, she noticed the blood all over him and was instantly horrified. "How could this happen?"
Without pausing for a moment, she turned and ran out, calling out, "Dr. Wen..."
Before long, Wen Sinan arrived with other doctors and nurses, their expressions grave.
"How did it suddenly get like this?" she asked as she deftly began to treat Gao Mingcheng's wounds.
Gao Mingcheng didn't answer her, but turned to look at Chen Xiaomo, who was lying unconscious on the sofa not far away.
Wen Sinan turned her head in the direction of his gaze and only then did she realize that there was another person in the ward.
Upon seeing Chen Xiaomo, she recognized him at a glance, after all, he was the one who had almost ruined her daughter and son-in-law's family.
"How could she..." Wen Sinan frowned, her gaze sweeping over the still-wet bloodstains on Chen Xiaomo's hands and a bloodstained pair of scissors on the table next to her, before finally settling on Gao Mingcheng's wound. She had already vaguely guessed what had happened.
She didn't rush to ask any more questions, and first helped Gao Mingcheng treat his wound.
Although Gao Mingcheng's shoulder wound was a bit deep, fortunately the incision was not large. After cleaning and stitching, there was nothing seriously wrong with him.
Wen Sinan gave Gao Mingcheng another thorough examination: "You're recovering well. It's only because you were in good health before, otherwise, after lying down for so long and suddenly being slashed with scissors and losing so much blood, you'd be in for a lot of trouble at your age."
"When can I be discharged from the hospital?" Gao Mingcheng asked impatiently.
Wen Sinan glared at him and said, "What are you thinking? I only said you're recovering well, not that you're healthy enough to be discharged. After all, you're getting on in years, and every illness takes a toll on your body. Of course, if you're tired of living, I wouldn't mind arranging your discharge surgery as soon as possible."
Gao Mingcheng tightened his grip on Xing Zhaozhao's hand and remained silent.
Wen Sinan glanced at their clasped hands, found it an eyesore, and quickly looked away.
She turned to look at Chen Xiaomo lying on the sofa and asked, "How did she end up here?"
Xing Zhaozhao's eyes flickered, and she slowly raised her hand.
Gao Mingcheng and Wen Sinan both looked at her.
Xing Zhaozhao felt somewhat intimidated by their stares and said, "I brought her here."
As she spoke, she told them what had happened: "She said that bad people had taken her baby. I saw that she was mentally unstable and felt really sorry for her, so I brought her here. I really didn't know that she was Chen Xiaomo or that she was looking for Mingcheng."
Gao Mingcheng and Wen Sinan couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiaomo again, their expressions somewhat complicated.
Gao Mingcheng squeezed Xing Zhaozhao's hand and asked, "You know about Chen Xiaomo?"
Xing Zhaozhao nodded: "As you know, I'm living with Lin Wan and the others now, so I can still find out some things."
"I didn't expect her to really be Chen Xiaomo." Xing Zhaozhao turned her head and glanced at Chen Xiaomo's peaceful sleeping face. Time seemed to have stopped for her. She should be in her forties, almost fifty, but she still looked like she was in her early twenties.
"You said that when you first met her, she was alone at the hospital entrance?" Wen Sinan asked, frowning.
"Mm." Xing Zhaozhao nodded.
Wen Sinan looked at Gao Mingcheng: "Wasn't she always kept in a mental hospital? How did she get out by herself? And how did she find her way to the hospital?"
Gao Mingcheng had no idea.
Xing Zhaozhao raised her hand again: "After Lin Wan came to Beijing, she never paid attention to Chen Xiaomo. But starting half a month ago, she suddenly went to the mental hospital to see Chen Xiaomo with Chen Xiaoxia. Today, when I was about to go out, Chen Xiaoxia prepared a lot of food and said she was going to the amusement park. Although she didn't say who she was with, I saw how happy she was, so it should be with Chen Xiaomo. I just don't know how they brought her out."
Gao Mingcheng's expression darkened, and he looked at Wen Sinan: "Help me contact Hongfei."
Wen Sinan nodded and immediately called Gao Hongfei.
At that moment, Gao Hongfei suddenly received a call from Wen Sinan. He thought something had happened to Gao Mingcheng, and his heart jumped into his throat: "What's wrong, Mom? Has something happened to Dad?"
"Your dad is awake," Wen Sinan gave him the good news first.
"Really?" Gao Hongfei exclaimed with delight. "That's wonderful!"
However, before he could be happy for long, Wen Sinan bombarded him with more bad news: "Chen Xiaomo somehow escaped from the mental hospital and came to the hospital, where she slashed your father with a pair of scissors."
"What?" Gao Hongfei was shocked, his face turning pale instantly. He quickly asked, "Is my dad alright?"
"Fortunately, she woke up in time, avoided vital organs, and wasn't seriously injured. She's fine now," Wen Sinan said.
Gao Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"I will investigate Chen Xiaomo's matter as soon as possible," Gao Hongfei said to Wen Sinan with a serious expression. "Tell my dad not to worry. I'll go see him later."
Wen Sinan responded with an "Mmm," then hung up the phone, looked at Gao Mingcheng, and said, "He said he would handle it."
Gao Mingcheng nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."
Wen Sinan looked at Chen Xiaomo, then at the scissors that had been used as the weapon, and asked Gao Mingcheng, "Should we call the police? This is, after all, a serious assault."
Gao Mingcheng glanced at Chen Xiaomo, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, then shook his head and said, "No need. Even if we call the police, what can they do with a mentally ill person? Since Lin Wan is planning to use Chen Xiaomo, she has definitely cleared herself of any wrongdoing. Calling the police will be useless."
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Wen Sinan asked. "Her target this time is clearly you. After this one time, who knows if there will be a next time? It's impossible to guard against everything."
"I won't give her that chance," Gao Mingcheng said coldly.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng already had a plan, Wen Sinan didn't say anything more, but she was still a little worried and said, "I just don't know if there will be any problems with your brother-in-law this time." After all, there had been previous examples.
Xing Zhaozhao, who was standing nearby, shifted uncomfortably when she heard Wen Sinan mention her brother.
Gao Mingcheng patted her hand reassuringly, looked at Wen Sinan, and said, "I've given you one chance; there won't be a second one."
Wen Sinan nodded knowingly, but couldn't help giving Xing Zhaozhao a strange look.
