Chapter 77: Afraid of injections
In the early morning hours at the hospital, only the emergency department was still busy.
After Shi Jingyuan sent Lin You into the debridement room, he retreated to the door and took out a cigarette.
A nurse carrying a square iron tray passed by him and reminded him, "No smoking here."
Shi Jingyuan put the cigarette back in disappointment. When the nurse pushed the door open, he saw the doctor pour a bottle of saline solution into Lin You's dull-eyed hands.
The clear saline solution flowed through her dirty hands and immediately turned into a bright red liquid.
The door closed again, blocking his view, but his expression became even gloomier.
Half an hour later, the doctor came out, took off his mask and discussed the situation with Shi Jingyuan.
"The patient only had wounds on her palms, which have been cleaned and sutured, but... her condition is not very good."
"Has the patient ever had any mental problems?"
Shi Jingyuan recalled Lin You's sudden hysterical outburst at the horticultural exhibition.
His throat rolled and he said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure if she had any problems in this area before."
Upon hearing this, the doctor glanced at him in surprise and said, "Then you are not qualified as a boyfriend. You should pay more attention to your girlfriend's mental state."
When he brought Lin You here, he carried her in, so it was not surprising that the doctor misunderstood their relationship.
Shi Jingyuan was hesitating whether to explain when several patients injured in the car accident were pushed in. The doctor didn't have time to talk to him. He put on a mask and went to deal with other wards.
Shi Jingyuan went to the debridement room and helped Lin You up.
The nurse handed her a hospital admission form, and he took it and took Lin You to the ward.
Lin You was still wearing clothes covered in blood. He asked a nurse to help her change into a hospital gown, and then found a caregiver to help her clean up.
From beginning to end, Lin You's eyes were empty, as if she was just a body without a soul at this moment.
Qian Ling arrived at the hospital two hours later.
When he came, he also brought the bag that Lin You left at the winery.
Shi Jingyuan heard footsteps and turned back to say in a low voice, "Be quiet, she just fell asleep."
Qian Ling responded and waved, "How about we go out and talk?"
Shi Jingyuan nodded, tucked in the quilt for Lin You, and then left the ward.

Behind the inpatient building is a small garden.
On the bench, Shi Jingyuan took a deep drag on his cigarette before asking, "What's the situation at the winery?"
Qian Ling's face was filled with sadness when he thought of this, and he seemed a little hesitant.
When Shi Jingyuan saw his reaction, he immediately had some guesses in his mind.
"Why, is it related to Yanran?"
Qian Ling felt relieved that he had guessed it.
Qian Ling leaned weakly on the back of the chair and sighed, "As expected of siblings, you really understand her."
Shi Jingyuan remained silent, his eyes hidden in the darkness and unclear.
After finishing half a cigarette, he snorted coldly, "From childhood to adulthood, she has always said one thing to your face and another behind your back. No matter what bad things she does, she never shows up in person."
Qian Ling agreed, "She's not the only one. In this world, only fools would do it themselves. Most things can be easily solved with a little money."
Shi Jingyuan turned his head to look at him, "Tell me, what's going on."
Qian Ling sat up straight and said, "Yanran posted Lin You's photo to her network of contacts. Whenever they see her, they will call Yanran."
Hearing this, Shi Jingyuan glanced over.
So, what happened today was both accidental and inevitable.
Lin You was being targeted. Even if it wasn't at the winery, even if it wasn't today, there would always be a day when it would explode.
Qian Ling: "The winery's owner recognized Lin You and found two people to take her to the greenhouse. She originally wanted to..."
He stopped talking halfway and looked at Shi Jingyuan's expression cautiously, not daring to say the rest.
Shi Jingyuan's face sank to the bottom, and the coldness in his voice made people shiver.
"Shi Yanran, you're becoming more and more capable!"
Qian Ling tried to smooth things over awkwardly, "That's not necessarily what Yanran meant. I guess Yanran just wanted to teach Lin You a lesson, and she might not go this far."
But no matter whether it was her intention or not, it was all because of her.
Qian Ling didn't dare to say this, for fear of adding fuel to the fire.
Qian Ling: "But fortunately, Lin You reacted quickly, breaking the flowerpot and using the fragments to stab the two men who had ulterior motives."
When Shi Jingyuan heard this, the fingers holding the cigarette turned white from the force.
"Where are the two men?"
Qian Ling shrank his neck. "Don't worry, you don't have to deal with them. One of them got stabbed in the eye, and the other got stabbed in the private parts. They'll both be disabled in the future."
Shi Jingyuan frowned, "Oh, that's a bargain for them."
Qian Ling thought of the horrific scene in the greenhouse and couldn't help but sigh:
"This world really proves the saying: The weak are afraid of the strong, and the strong are afraid of the desperate."
"You said that Lin You, a woman, could actually injure two grown men with her desperate efforts. It's a miracle, right?"
Shi Jingyuan's voice was hoarse, "Miracle? This lucky escape was only because she was determined to die. If those two were just a little more ruthless..."
He felt a surge of fear in his heart and didn't dare to think about the future.
Shi Jingyuan stood up with a cold face, "It's so late, you should go back first."
"Okay." Qian Ling was indeed sleepy and tired. It took him a lot of time to cooperate with the police to record their statements and silence those people in the winery.
The two people parted at the garden gate.
Qian Ling took a few steps, turned around to look at Shi Jingyuan's back, and suddenly realized something.
"No... Mr. Shi, are you still going to keep watch here?"
Is this what Mr. Shi should do?
Shi Jingyuan didn't know whether he heard these words or not. Anyway, he didn't look back and quickly disappeared from Qian Ling's sight.

The air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.
Lin You is very sensitive to this smell, but he is used to it.
When she was little, she would go to the hospital every day after school.
At that time, Ms. Su was just an ordinary resident doctor. She had endless medical records to write from morning to night. There was no time to help her with her homework alone, so he put a small square stool for her in the corner of the doctor's office.
Every time Ms. Su finished writing a medical record, he would take a few minutes to come over and explain to her the difficult problems she didn't know how to solve.
Perhaps because she was busy with work, Ms. Su had no patience when explaining homework. Whenever Lin You still couldn't understand a question after she had explained it several times, she would take out a syringe and threaten to give her an injection.
For a long time, Lin You dreamed of Ms. Su chasing her with a needle.
"I don't want injections, I don't want injections..."
On the hospital bed, Lin You slept uneasily, his murmurs were very soft.
Shi Jingyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, heard the noise and walked to the bedside.
After leaning in closer to hear what she was saying, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"So... you're afraid of injections."
Lin You was still asleep when the cell phone in her bag on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Shi Jingyuan was startled, and fearing that he would wake her up, he grabbed his bag and left the ward.
He took out his cell phone from his bag and the caller ID showed Ms. Su.
He had no intention of answering her call privately, but the other party seemed to have something urgent and kept calling him.
When the phone rang for the third time, Shi Jingyuan hesitated and answered the call.
