Her inner strength isn't that great, nor is her mental fortitude.
Watching the murderer who killed his mother recount the events in a joking and teasing tone right in front of him, as if he were telling a very vivid and captivating story.
Cheng Jie sighed, "It's a pity. The woman surnamed Meng didn't die, but her mother died a horrible death. I went to the scene and saw that human tissue was crushed into the cracks in the road. It was truly tragic. We had to call a water truck to clean it up. It's such a shame. Weren't both mother and daughter art students? If they had died in the same way, it would have been an art story!"
Meng Sheng could no longer contain the hatred surging in her heart. She wanted to tear this scumbag, this beast, to pieces!
Ning Weiwei, that bastard... worse than an animal.
She wanted to use all the dirty words she had ever learned on Ning Weiwei.
Isn't she too kind?
For someone like Ning Weiwei, letting her live for three more months would be a waste of air and food.
So what if you die?
So what if the police can't find it?
Even if it becomes an unsolved case, and Ning Weiwei is sent to the deepest abyss, so what?
Every nerve in her body was being violently stretched, and it felt as if a thousand sharp knives were stuck in her heart, slowly torturing her flesh and soul.
Her rational mind vanished, and she instinctively took a step.
Ning Weiwei deserves to die!
Cheng Jie deserves to die too!
She was going to kill them; she was going to kill those two scoundrels with her own hands.
She will tear them to pieces, so they may never be reincarnated!
"Miss Meng."
Yi Jun noticed her unusual behavior immediately and reached out to stop her just as she took two steps.
But when he saw her bloodshot eyes, trembling lips and body, the words he was about to say suddenly stuck in his throat.
Through a glass partition, Meng Sheng's mother's killer was inside.
But at the same time, he also understood what Meng Sheng wanted to do at that moment.
She quickly spoke up to comfort Meng Sheng, her voice gentle, not daring to provoke her any further. "Miss Meng, please calm down. Don't get agitated or impulsive. Don't ruin your future for a scumbag like Cheng Jie. Captain Chen will definitely investigate what Cheng Jie said and give your mother justice. I promise you, you can trust me."
Seeing this, Captain Zhang understood and quickly assured her, "Miss Meng, we haven't verified what Cheng Jie said yet. You must stay calm. As the captain, I assure you that we will investigate this matter thoroughly and give your mother and your Meng family the truth..."
Before she could finish speaking, Meng Sheng suddenly felt the whole house spinning rapidly, as if millions of ants were gnawing at all her nerves, causing both pain and numbness, making it hard to breathe.
The figures of Captain Zhang and Advisor Yi gradually blurred in her vision, and even their voices turned into buzzing electronic sounds, relentlessly drilling into the depths of her ears. The pain made her raise her hand to cover her ears and take two steps back. Before she could react, everything went black, and she instantly lost consciousness.
Just before her hearing completely disappeared, she seemed to have a moment of clarity when she heard Consultant Yi exclaim, "Miss Meng!"
Meng Sheng didn't know if she was dead or dreaming; she dreamed of her mother.
Xu Li stood on the clouds, gazing at her from afar. She seemed deaf, unable to hear what her mother was saying, only seeing her mother's mouth opening and closing, her face showing anxiety.
She tried desperately to get closer, to rush over, but the closer she got, the further her mother would go.
Pei Sui rushed back the afternoon of the second day after Meng Sheng fell into a coma.
Chen Ye and Yi Jun had just come out of the ward when they saw him walking anxiously towards them. Their usually indifferent and composed expressions were now tinged with worry.
"How is it? Is he awake?"
Chen Ye sighed, "Not yet. The doctor said it's because her nervous system malfunctioned when subjected to strong stimulation, leading to insufficient blood supply to the brain."
"Then...when will she wake up?" Pei Sui suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He suppressed his anxiety and tried to remain calm.
Yi Jun pursed her lips and said, "I'm not sure. From a psychological perspective, this is a 'shutdown' reaction. The 'fight or flight' reaction that we are familiar with is the first reaction when facing a threat. When the threat is extremely great and human beings cannot resist or escape, the nervous system may activate a third reaction - 'freeze' or 'shutdown'."
“She must have had a history of autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Extreme psychological trauma can lead to overactivation of the parasympathetic nervous system. The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for rational thinking, decision-making and emotional regulation, will weaken or “shut down” under such stress.”
Seeing Pei Sui's tightly furrowed brows and gloomy expression, Yi Jun simply said, "In other words, her current coma is an escape from reality, a forced shutdown of herself."
Pei Sui's heart sank, and a subtle pain welled up within him.
When he received Chen Ye's call yesterday, he was stunned because the fastest flight required three transfers and a total journey of 29 hours. He couldn't wait that long, so he called a friend and arranged for a private jet. It took him three or four hours to apply for the flight route before he finally boarded the return flight.
His throat tightened, and it took him a moment to finally speak, "Then... under what circumstances will she wake up?"
Yi Jun said, "It's hard to say, maybe three to five days, maybe half a month, or maybe a month... During this time, you should stay by her side and talk to her more to reduce her psychological pressure. In addition, I suggest that you should notify her family members in her situation."
Chen Ye continued, "According to my investigation, her father is hospitalized at the Affiliated Hospital of Deqing University. He suffered a stroke. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't call. Her brother is a diplomat, and his private contact information is heavily protected. We can't find out anything about him. We can only rely on you."
As for her mother Xu Li's case, although more than two years have passed, we will do our best to find out the truth.
Pei Sui clenched his fists. Even though it was the height of summer, he felt his limbs were ice-cold, as if even his blood felt cold.
He understood what Yi Jun had left unsaid earlier.
This means that if someone remains in a coma for a long time, they may become a vegetable.
He didn't dare to think about, nor did he want to think about, the worst possible outcome. He kept comforting himself, telling himself that Sheng Sheng was just tired and didn't want to face the facts, and that she just needed to rest for a while.
She will wake up.
He swallowed hard, and after a while he murmured, "I'll talk to her family. Thank you."
"No need to thank me, we're so familiar with each other, saying thank you is too polite."
Pei Sui paused for a moment, then looked at Yi Jun again and asked, "Advisor Yi, will she experience any long-term effects after waking up?"
