Chen Jianhong sat next to him and watched Chen Qizhao. He saw that he hesitated for a while before starting to drink the water.
Chen Qizhao drank very slowly, and it took him a long time to finish all the water in the cup.
Seeing this, Chen Jianhong paused for a moment, took his cup, and asked, "Do you want to drink more?"
Chen Qizhao: “I don’t want to drink anymore.”
The cup of water was placed next to the bedside table. After the conversation ended, silence spread between the two again.
The doctor's diagnosis was made a few days ago. After Chen Qizhao woke up, he underwent some examinations and tests intermittently, and it was determined that there were problems with his mental state. Chen Jianhong was still in the company when he received the news. When his assistant handed him the diagnosis report that day, he was silent for a long time. Chen Qizhao was diagnosed with certain physiological anxiety reactions and possible depressive tendencies. This is different from ordinary anxiety and depression, but is a real diagnosed disease.
The assistant relayed the words at the time: "The doctor said that he may be in a state of anxiety for a long time. He has some symptoms of anxiety disorder physically, but it is not a serious case. This may be related to the cause of his anxiety. In addition, he has repressed emotions and depression tendencies. Anxiety disorder will not turn into depression, but it does not mean that the patient will not get depression. It is not serious now, but if there is no intervention and drug treatment, it is very likely to aggravate this emotion and become a more serious situation."
"The doctor also said that the patient had experienced physiological reactions for a while, including palpitations, dizziness, and hand tremors. His fainting in the lounge was probably caused by excessive emotions. In addition, he was malnourished and overworked, which took a lot of toll on the human body. The initial diagnosis was that if physiological reactions occurred, medication intervention was recommended. Everyone's ability to adjust is different, and medication can also lead to some negative effects."
After hearing this, Chen Jianhong went to the hospital, but Chen Qizhao was still sleeping when he arrived at the hospital.
After a long period of fatigue, he felt like he had unloaded a big thing after the matter between Lin and Gu family came to an end. The taut string broke, which led to more serious follow-up reactions. Before he could react, his child did a lot of things, but also ruined his body. The long-term emotions that doctors mentioned, in fact, if they could discover them earlier and resolve the children’s concerns earlier, these things might not have become as serious as they are now.
Chen Jianhong still remembers his wife's worries during the physical examination at the beginning of the year. Afterwards, they took Chen Qizhao to see a psychological counselor, but the child was too defensive...
And now, as Chen Jianhong looked at the sober Chen Qizhao, the emotion weighing on his heart became even heavier.
With the quiet environment and the presence of Chen Jianhong, Chen Qizhao's mind gradually became clear. After waking up, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. It had been a long time since he had been alone with Chen Jianhong like this.
In the past, he had Zhang Yazhi or Chen Shiming around him, and he let them control the topic and time when talking. But when he was with Chen Jianhong, he couldn't find a suitable topic to start, and Chen Jianhong was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to talk.
"Are you hungry?" Chen Jianhong asked.
Chen Qizhao just woke up and drank a large glass of water. "I'm not hungry."
Chen Jianhong added: "Tell me when you are hungry and I will ask the kitchen to make something and send it to you."
The mobile phone on the table in the distance seemed to vibrate, and the laptop screen that was originally lit went dark.
Chen Qizhao's gaze involuntarily turned to the small workbench in the ward. He thought that he was still working so late, and he really didn't take his health seriously. However, although he thought about it, he didn't say it directly like he used to.
The sound of the vibrating cell phone urged Chen Jianhong to go over, and finally Chen Jianhong said, "I'll take a call."
Chen Qizhao responded.
Chen Jianhong did not go out to answer the phone. Instead, he lowered his voice and stood a little further away from the bed to answer the call so that he could see the person on the bed at a glance.
The man spoke seriously about work. Chen Qizhao could hear a few words here and there, but he didn't have the energy to analyze them. He glanced at the other attires in the room and saw some scattered items, and he knew they were Zhang Yazhi's work. The last time she was hospitalized, it was just a few days, but Zhang Yazhi made a big fuss and almost moved the Chen family over. She always handles other things in an exaggerated way.
Chen Qizhao lowered his eyes slightly and noticed the needle marks on the back of his hand and several emergency medical instruments beside the bed.
After Chen Jianhong finished the call, he saw Chen Qizhao sitting on the bed, his eyes fixed on a sign next to the bed.
He had just taken a few steps closer when he heard the child speak.
Chen Qizhao asked: "Am I sick?"
Chen Jianhong felt a lump in his throat. Looking at the child right in front of him, he couldn't let out the suppressed emotions.
Chen Qizhao is very handsome when he is calm, especially his eyes which seem a little big. When he looks up at people, his eyes are particularly clear, just like the child who followed him when he was a child, asking him questions with curiosity.
But now the child is thin, with not much flesh on the sides of his cheeks, and his originally round face has become sharp.
Seeing that Chen Jianhong didn't say anything, Chen Qizhao was about to ask another question when suddenly a big hand fell on his head.
"You are sick." Chen Jianhong's voice was a little heavy. "It's okay, you will be well soon, don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid." Chen Qizhao was just a little surprised and felt it was ridiculous.
After the questioning, both parties fell silent again. Chen Qizhao went to look for his phone in the bedside table, but he didn't find it. He went to see Chen Jianhong again, "Did I drop my phone?"
Chen Jianhong was silent for a while before he took out a cell phone from the cabinet next to the sofa and gave it to him. "Your mother is worried about you and put the phone away."
Unsure of the main cause of Chen Qizhao's anxiety, Zhang Yazhi was afraid that the outside news would affect the children, so she took away his mobile phone after the incident. Chen Qizhao hadn't been awake much these days and hadn't noticed the location of his phone, but Chen Jianhong didn't think so. He didn't want Zhang Yazhi to think that the child was a fragile item. If Chen Qizhao really cared about the situation around him, and they tried to control his emotions, it might make the situation even more uncontrollable.
The phone was turned off, and when I turned it on, only 30% of the battery was left.
After turning on the camera, Chen Qizhao saw today's date and suddenly realized that a week had passed since Gu Shen was arrested.
Chen Qizhao took out his cell phone and first checked the situation outside. He then noticed the many messages accumulated in the secret mailbox. There were too many messages, so he could only read them one by one.
Chen Jianhong did not stop him, but sat beside him and watched him without asking any other questions.
Most of the messages accumulated in the mailbox were emails from people he commissioned to investigate, and there were even missed calls.
When he saw the missed call, Chen Qizhao's first reaction was to check the call records. He found that the last call record was a week ago, which was the call information between him and the criminal police team. These missed calls were not returned.
Seeing this, Chen Qizhao raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Jianhong.
"What's wrong?" Chen Jianhong asked.
Chen Qizhao lowered his head and did not answer.
Although the phone has a password set, if it really falls into the hands of family members, it is still possible to find a professional to turn on the phone. However, the battery level and background information of the phone show that the family members did not touch his privacy or check the missed messages in the phone.
The email contained the follow-up of the investigation, other evidence that might be involved in Chen’s previous channels, and Gu Zhengsong’s layout in City B. Judging from the situation where Gu Shen was arrested, the Gu family's influence in S City is not that wide, and they are most likely taking advantage of Lin Shizhong's background. Once the Lin family falls, the actions of Gu Zhengsong's faction in S City will be restricted, and it will be basically impossible for them to do whatever they want as before. But that doesn't mean the other party will not take risks.
There was a lot of information, and Chen Qizhao could only read it slowly.
By the time he finished reading, the battery of his phone was almost exhausted. Chen Qizhao stared at the turned-off phone for a while and put it on the table. Maybe it was because he was too tired, but after reading the information, he didn't feel as comfortable as before. Instead, he felt a little sleepy and lacked energy.
"No power?" Chen Jianhong asked.
Chen Qizhao replied: "No more."
"There will be no other problems at Lin's Medical. Lin Shizhong's case is a foregone conclusion. The evidence we submitted is very comprehensive. In addition, someone among the people arrested in Chen's company provided clues. Given the seriousness of the situation, his sentence will not be short." Chen Jianhong was silent for a while, and continued, "You are worried about the Gu family, but don't worry, Gu Shen will not be able to get out for a while."
Chen Qizhao asked: "Is there anyone to protect him?"
"Yes, although Gu Shen is Gu Zhengsong's illegitimate son, he is very important to Gu Zhengsong. The day after he was arrested, someone came from City B specifically to try to bail him out."
At this point, Chen Jianhong had to admire Chen Qizhao's early arrangements. In the absence of sufficient evidence, Gu Shen could easily be bailed out by lawyers through various means, so the evidence that held Gu Shen in the S City Police Station must be sufficient to provide support to the police. The evidence that Chen Qizhao provided when he called the police and the subsequent incident of Gu Shen carrying a gun were enough for the police to delay time and find more sufficient evidence.
"The bail was not granted. The police found some evidence from Lin Shizhong's confession. This evidence is very important. It should be the evidence that Lin Shizhong prepared recently. It is hidden deep, but it directly points to the cooperation between Lin Shizhong and the Gu family." Chen Jianhong continued: "The police are now investigating the relevant personnel as soon as possible. Gu Zhengxun is watching over B City. The situation in S City is a foregone conclusion. The official notice has been issued."
Dog bites dog...
Chen Qizhao had not anticipated this, but if he thought about it carefully, it was within the scope of speculation that Lin Shizhong would turn against him. Lin Shizhong is a shrewd businessman. Even if there is a grudge between the Chen family and the Lin family, Lin Shizhong can still suppress the resentment and make profits for his business empire...
Chen Qizhao, a shrewd businessman, had seen a lot in his previous life. Feelings and hatred might just be the beginning of what they do. In fact, these people put interests first. As long as there are enough interests, they might adjust their plans, just like Lin Shizhong who eroded Chen's channels step by step to open channels for himself, and finally caught up with the Gu family's pirate ship.
So this kind of shrewd person will be cautious, careful and sharp.
People like Gu Shen can be trusted, but they are not easy to trust. Lin Shizhong probably released this evidence out of consideration of Lin's Medical's possible escape route and left himself a trick, and reached some kind of cooperation with the police.
However, no matter how great the evidence is, the charges hanging over Lin Shizhong's head are enough to keep him in prison for the rest of his life, with no chance of ever getting out.
Chen Jianhong continued to speak, but before he could finish everything, the person lying on the bed closed his eyes.
He paused for a moment and asked, "Xiao Zhao?"
Chen Qizhao fell asleep.
Chen Jianhong waited for a while, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and put it back in the cabinet next to the sofa. Seeing that Chen Qizhao was fast asleep, he adjusted the light in the distance and returned to the sofa to deal with the work that had not been finished.
The hospital stay became longer, and Chen Qizhao's sleepiness symptoms were alleviated after he woke up that night. After his condition eased, Chen Qizhao accepted medication treatment. There were many drug reactions in the early stages, but he did not resist the doctor's treatment and was surprisingly very cooperative, which made Zhang Yazhi worried and scared, and she often asked about the doctor's condition.
The initial dosage of the drug was small, and Chen Qizhao also experienced some drug reactions, but the side effects were not so obvious. Before taking the medicine, Zhang Yazhi kept consulting for suitable options and considered both Chinese and Western medicine. Chen Shiming even exaggeratedly formed a special team to follow her, and the hospitalization location was also transferred from the original Second Municipal Hospital to a private hospital that was quieter and more convenient for treatment.
Shen Yuhuai came several times, and every time he arrived, Chen Qizhao was either sleeping or receiving treatment.
The matter of the Gu family's industrial chain also has an impact on the Shen family. The Shen family also has a share in providing evidence. In order to deal with subsequent matters, the Shen family has been busy during this period. There was an important project to be done in the laboratory in June. Shen Yuhuai had limited time to ask for leave from his supervisor, so he often ran back and forth when he was busy. Most of the free time was in the evening, but Chen Qizhao went to bed very early at night.
"The reaction to the medication will be greater at the beginning, but the doctor said that this is normal. I rested after eating at night these few days and slept more." When Zhang Yazhi saw Shen Yuhuai coming over, she pulled him over to talk. Shen Yuhuai came over frequently during this period, and he also helped with Chen Qizhao's treatment, and he also contacted several authoritative doctors.
Chen Yuhuai asked: "Has your appetite recovered a little?"
"No, I haven't eaten enough." Zhang Yazhi lowered her eyes slightly. She knew that patients with this type of disease might be emotionally agitated and resist treatment, but Chen Qizhao didn't do that. He knew he was sick, so he took medicine and received treatment. His emotional level was very calm these days and he spoke very little.
But the more this happened, the more worried Zhang Yazhi became. "Sometimes I hope he can make some noise, just like before."
Zhang Yazhi said something, "You've been busy lately, haven't you? When your mother came over last time, she heard that you had a lot going on in the lab."
Shen Yuhuai: “Fortunately, I can handle it.”
Chen Qizhao's matter has troubled Shen Yuhuai too much. Zhang Yazhi saw that every time he ran over, he ran into nothing, and said again: "If you are busy, work first, and come to see him after you are done. After this period of time, he should not have such a big reaction. The doctor said that his condition can be controlled, and he should be able to stabilize after taking medicine for a period of time."
Shen Yuhuai looked at the person who was sleeping not far away. The quilt was covering the other person, and he could only see a soft head with his back to this side.
He suppressed the emotions on his face and said, "It's okay, I'll come back another day."
Zhang Yazhi has always been in charge of hospital care. The Chen family takes this matter very seriously. While hiring a nurse, family members also take turns following the patient every day.
The ward was very quiet and no one came to disturb. Chen Qizhao's cooperation made the doctor's work progress very smoothly, but this cooperation was limited. There is still no definite result regarding the cause of Chen Qizhao's emotions. Chen Qizhao didn't say much, and would mostly change the subject when asked.
The hospitalization period was relatively long because the Chen family did not want to be disturbed too much. Chen Shiming was in charge of the police questioning and other matters. The number of visitors to the hospital was also controlled and not too many people were allowed to come. But Zhang Yazhi was worried that Chen Qizhao would be too bored, so she usually wouldn't let the nurse stop Chen Qizhao's friends from coming over.
When asked about the cause of the illness, the Chen family rarely told others, just saying that the child was feeling a little unwell.
The arrest of Gu Shen made many people breathe a sigh of relief. The Yan brothers, who had been on guard, also temporarily lifted the alarm. Yan Kailin, who was trapped in the school, almost cried when he left the school. He went to the bar to have fun for a day and a night, and then was suppressed by Yan Kaiqi again. He was not freed from his hellish life until he finished the final exam.
He only learned about Chen Qizhao's situation after the exam. Yan Kaiqi had been keeping the news secret, and he thought that Chen Qizhao had gone out of town to avoid the limelight because of the Chen family's affairs. As a result, he found out about the illness and immediately asked which hospital Chen Qizhao was in and rushed over without stopping.
It was almost a month since we last met. Before leaving, Yan Kailin took off his coquettish earrings and walked into the hospital in his proper attire. He walked past a layer of nurses and arrived at Chen Qizhao's ward. "Your brother is too exaggerated. This kind of arrangement is not as exaggerated as it was when I was pressed into school. My brother only assigned me three people at most."
Seeing that the two children were chatting happily, Zhang Yazhi did not disturb them and went outside the ward.
Chen Qizhao was half lying on the bed, playing Tetris on his phone with a listless look on his face. "And then?"
"Hey, there were so many thens. During my final exams, my brother even contacted the school, worried that I would rebel and skip the exams. Bodyguards and teachers stood outside the classroom in large bodies, making it so difficult for anyone in my class to cheat. We all finished the exams honestly."
Chen Qizhao: "Cheating?"
"No." Yan Kailin sighed: "I didn't use the cheat sheets I prepared in advance. I'm a college student now, why is studying worse than when I was in high school?"
"Oh, and there's more. Cheng Rong broke up with his girlfriend. Did you know that?" Yan Kailin lowered his voice and said, "Big news. Cheng Rong even held a drinking party and cried with us for a long time."
Chen Qizhao glanced sideways when he heard this, his attention no longer on Tetris. He asked in surprise, "He can cry again?"
"Of course! He cried while drinking. I've known him for so long and this is the first time I've seen him cry like that." Yan Kailin gets excited when he talks about gossip. "But he deserves it. He doted on the girl when they were in love, but forgot about her once they were doing things or drinking. The girl said Cheng Rong was too cold to her and that their relationship was completely meaningless, so she dumped him."
"Will he be cold?" Chen Qizhao didn't have much impression of Cheng Rong's girlfriend. The thing that impressed him most was that Cheng Rong held a birthday party for his girlfriend. However, Cheng Rong had changed many girlfriends in the past, and his pursuit methods were also enthusiastic, so he should not be considered cold.
Yan Kailin: "You don't know that I don't date."
Chen Qizhao: “…”
"You don't understand relationships. If you ignore someone for three hours, it means you don't care about them. If you're slow to reply to messages for two days, that's considered indifference! If this kind of relationship lasts for three or four days, then it's over. You're going to be dumped."
Yan Kailin clicked his tongue twice and continued with an unfathomable look on his face, "Young couples are like this when they are in love. They can't wait to stick together every day, especially during the honeymoon period. Every half an hour they will send a message asking what the baby is doing and whether the baby is okay. The baby is always bored. If you don't reply to the message for a long time, then it's over. Your girlfriend will definitely think that you are not the first in her mind, and then she will break up with you."
Chen Qizhao's hand paused slightly. He heard Zhang Yazhi say that Shen Yuhuai had come to his ward several times, but every time he came, he was asleep. He has been in better condition these days and has been going to bed a little later, but Shen Yuhuai hasn’t come over for two days.
Yan Kailin was still talking about Cheng Rong's love history, but Chen Qizhao's attention had already strayed away. He sent a message to Shen Yuhuai in the morning, but he hadn't received a reply yet.
Outside the ward, Zhang Yazhi was telling the housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, "For dinner, it's better to eat something light. The child likes to eat meat, so don't eat something too greasy."
Halfway through the call, Zhang Yazhi saw Shen Yuhuai coming from afar. After she finished explaining the matter, she saw what Shen Yuhuai was carrying in his hand and asked again, “Why do you bring things every time you come? Are you free during the day today?”
Shen Yuhuai freed up time in advance, “Well, I’m done.”
He saw Zhang Yazhi outside and looked inside from the corner of his eye. "Why are you outside?"
"Kai Lin is here, talking to Xiao Zhao. I saw they were having a good time, so I didn't stay inside." Zhang Yazhi handed the things to the nurse, "You go in and talk to them. I'll go downstairs to get something."
As soon as Shen Yuhuai entered the ward, he noticed that the boy's eyes were looking straight at him.
When I saw him these past few days, I mostly saw him lying down. The weight gain that might have been caused by the medication did not occur in Chen Qizhao. Now Chen Qizhao was sitting, and the hospital gown seemed empty, and his face seemed to have become smaller.
The hair is a little longer, covering the eyes a little.
Yan Kailin: "Brother Huai is here?"
"Um."
As soon as Shen Yuhuai arrived, Yan Kailin restrained the topic and did not dare to talk about the bar and Cheng Rong, for fear that Shen Yuhuai would turn around and talk to his brother, so he could only change the subject and talk about something else.
With Yan Kailin's lively voice in his ears, Shen Yuhuai walked to the sofa and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he noticed the eyes looking at him from a distance.
Her eyes were fixed on him and she never moved away from him.
"Brother, are you listening to me?" Yan Kailin asked.
Chen Qizhao responded: "Yeah."
The man in the distance was sitting on the sofa, still wearing simple clothes. Chen Qizhao had seen this clothes several times. Shen Yuhuai liked to wear clothes of this color when he was working. Shen Yuhuai didn't seem to be interested in Yan Kailin's words. Chen Qizhao looked at him, and the other party seemed to be sending a message on his mobile phone.
When Yan Kailin was talking happily, his cell phone rang and he saw Yan Kaiqi's name jumping on the phone page.
"Hello brother? Oh yes, I'm in the hospital... at this time?" Yan Kailin said a few words: "Oh, okay, then what time will you come over?"
He hung up the phone and said to Chen Qizhao, "My brother is coming to pick me up on his way home from get off work. He'll be there in fifteen minutes. I'll see you tomorrow."
Chen Qizhao looked at Shen Yuhuai.
Yan Kailin is very free after the exams and is free these few days.
Fifteen minutes is not a long time. He left soon after answering the phone.
"Would you like some water?" Shen Yuhuai asked.
Chen Qizhao nodded.
The room suddenly became quiet, and Chen Qizhao's eyes followed Shen Yuhuai's figure, followed him to pour water over there, and watched him walk in front of him.
"Why are you looking at me all the time?" Shen Yuhuai handed him the water and sat in Yan Kailin's original seat.
Chen Qizhao took the cup of water, and the rim of the cup seemed to have a hint of mint. "No, it seems like I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Have you taken the medicine?" Shen Yuhuai asked in a light voice.
Chen Qizhao took two sips of water and answered honestly, "Yes, I have."
Their eyes met and Chen Qizhao blinked slightly.
At this time, Zhang Yazhi came in from outside the ward and asked, "Has Kailin left?"
Shen Yuhuai restrained his gaze and turned his head: "Well, Kaiqi had something to do in the evening, so I just picked him up."
"I want Kailin to stay here for dinner tonight." Zhang Yazhi put the food on the table next to the sofa. "I asked Lao Zhang to make more food tonight. You can stay here and eat before leaving."
Just as Shen Yuhuai was about to respond, he suddenly felt a slightly cool finger touching his wrist, the finger went up along the back of his hand and held his wrist.
The force was very light, but Shen Yuhuai was involuntarily led back by that hand, which wrapped its fingers around his and finally covered the back of his hand.
Chen Yuhuai glanced sideways and saw the boy's half-closed eyes and slightly messy bangs.
But that hand led his hand into the quilt, and through the quilt, the fingers pinched his knuckles as unscrupulously as before. The slightly hot temperature spread all the way along the quilt, and Shen Yuhuai felt his fingers were a little hot.
Chen Qizhao scratched it, moving along his fingers to the palm of his hand, and it felt light and itchy.
Shen Yuhuai's heart started beating.
"Yu Huai?" Zhang Yazhi looked towards them.
Shen Yuhuai grabbed the hand and responded, “Yeah.”
