Chapter 173 Four Years Ago

Wei Yan's face turned pale, and he unconsciously covered his abdomen with his hands and kept vomiting. Dense cold sweat slowly slid down his cheeks along with his forehead. Even taking a deep breath could not relieve the reaction in his stomach. Instead, the smell of blood on the tip of his nose made him whole. People's muscles become more and more tense and their faces look ugly.

When Su Tang rushed into the bathroom, she saw Wei Yan holding his abdomen, looking haggard and vomiting.

Even though this person usually has a blank expression and a cold look, the conditioned reflex brought about by his physiology cannot be concealed no matter what!

Su Tang carefully observed Wei Yan's expression and wanted to take his pulse, but as soon as he reached out his hand, Wei Yan blocked it and pushed it back.

Wei Yan said in a low and suppressed voice, with a hint of boredom and depression: "Doctor Su, it's not necessary... It's just an old problem. I'll be fine after a rest."

The gastric acid surging up from his stomach burned his throat and made the man's voice a little hoarse.

The resistance revealed by Hun's whole body made Su Tang frown subconsciously, and she slowly withdrew her hands.

Su Tang sighed. Not everyone wants outsiders to know what’s going on in their family.

She understood this and said no more. She just thought for a moment and said to the bodyguard next to her: "You can press Zusanli and Neiguan acupoints for Mr. Wei later... It can effectively relieve vomiting. In addition, don't eat during this period. If you are hungry, please wait until tomorrow."

Su Tang briefly explained the locations of the two acupuncture points to the bodyguard, then looked at Wei Yan, who was still vomiting and had a pale face, and could only sigh helplessly and leave the Wei family.

…………

At night, Su Tang tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She couldn't help but think of what Wei's mother had said to Wei Yan, as well as Wei Yan's pale face.

It was not until the next morning when Su Tang knocked on the Wei family's door as usual and went to Wei's house to give Wei Yan acupuncture that Su Tang discovered that Wei Yan, who said he was fine last night but had an old illness, had a pale face with dark circles under his eyes. Various work documents were placed by the bed.

It looked like he hadn't slept the previous night and had been working all night.

Because Wei's mother came to visit, the old butler Fu Bo, who rushed back overnight, looked a little haggard, but his face showed more worry and heartache for Wei Yan.

Su Tang stood in front of the door, watching Uncle Fu carry breakfast and place it next to Wei Yan, and gently advised: "Young Master, you still have to eat breakfast. Didn't Doctor Su say that you need to eat more to replenish your Qi and blood to get better."

"No, I don't want to eat for now. I'll tell you when I'm hungry later." Wei Yan glanced at the food on the plate and saw the red lean meat in the rice porridge. The nausea that he had just suppressed suddenly surged up again, causing him to instinctively turn his eyes away and refuse again: "Secretary Zhao, help me take these foods away. I don't have much appetite."

"no!"

Uncle Fu frowned and glared at Secretary Zhao who was about to step forward.

"This……"

Secretary Zhao could only stand there awkwardly, looking at Wei Yan cautiously, then at Uncle Fu, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Su Tang looked at the three people confronting each other in the room with a frown on her face.

Especially when she looked at Wei Yan, she felt the coldness and aloofness on his body, just like when she first saw him in the clinic corridor...keeping people at a distance, yet arrogant and indifferent.

Su Tang thought for a moment, took the acupuncture bag and took two steps forward, frowning and saying, "Mr. Wei, I always thought you had a serious obsession with cleanliness and hated blood staining your clothes. But now it seems that it's not just that."

"Chinese medicine emphasizes three parts treatment and seven parts nourishment."

"I can cure patients' physical problems, but if your psychological problems are not resolved, you will probably have all kinds of physical problems in the end."

"To put it simply, if Mr. Wei had not been eating and was too weak, you would have recovered a month ago and could walk with a cane."

"It's not like now, where bodyguards and secretaries still need to push the wheelchair up and down the stairs every day."

Su Tang looked serious, and his tone was not too accusatory, but he still said seriously: "As the saying goes, anger hurts the liver, and liver qi hurts the stomach. This will not only make you have stomach pain and vomiting, but also make people irritable and unable to sleep in the middle of the night, causing insomnia."

"Not to mention that worrying too much will cause excessive anxiety in patients, which may lead to menstrual disorders in women and impotence and premature ejaculation in men..." Su Tang touched his chin. His expression looked so serious and complicated.

Uncle Fu: “…………”

Secretary Zhao: “…………”

I don't know why, but the serious atmosphere in the room suddenly froze because of Su Tang's words.

Secretary Zhao coughed twice unconsciously, took two small steps back, and tried to pretend that he had heard nothing just now. Uncle Fu also subconsciously took a step back.

Only Wei Yan pushed the glasses on his nose, took them off and placed them on the bedside, looked at Su Tang deeply, lowered his voice and chuckled.

The cold and distant aura that kept people at a distance seemed to dissipate instantly along with this chuckle.

"Doctor Su, I've read a lot of Chinese medicine books these days." Wei Yan opened his thin lips and said, "If I remember correctly, the book says 'thinking will cause qi stagnation, poor spleen and stomach, and stomach and abdominal distension', and that women's menstrual disorders and men's impotence are caused by - 'fear will cause qi to descend, kidney qi will not be solid, and the heart and kidney will not communicate', which means that only fear can cause the patient's kidney qi to be out of balance, resulting in male and female infertility. And thinking... won't do that."

Wei Yan spoke slowly, like an old doctor who had worked in the hospital for many years.

Su Tang was not annoyed by being exposed by the patient. Instead, she blinked and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Mr. Wei, who is so busy at work, still has time to read Chinese medicine books. But since Mr. Wei knows that bad emotions can cause physical discomfort and various reactions, we should solve these problems as soon as possible... If you don't mind, Mr. Wei can speak out. Some things are suppressed in one's heart for a long time, and various problems will always arise."

"If you think it's not a good idea for Secretary Zhao and I to stay here, you can talk to Uncle Fu privately."

After spending these days together, Su Tang also knew that Uncle Fu treated Wei Yan differently. He was more like an elder to Wei Yan.

After discussing these things with his elders, Wei Yan would probably be able to accept it.

However...

Wei Yan did not answer Su Tang directly. Instead, he stared at Su Tang for a moment with his dark eyes. Finally, he sighed and lowered his eyes: "There is nothing that cannot be said..."

He really didn't want to talk much about what happened back then.

But now, four years have passed and his illness is almost cured, so there is nothing he can't talk about.

"Four years ago, that is, yesterday... I had a car accident, and the person who hit me happened to be Wei Ze." Wei Yan tilted his head, lost in his memories, his eyes slowly gazing at the sun rising outside the window, and he spoke slowly and simply about what happened that year.

About ten years ago, Wei's father passed away. In the absence of a will, the Wei Group was divided according to the law.

As the common property of the couple, Wei's mother first got 50% of the Wei Group, and then divided the remaining 50% among Wei's mother, the two brothers Wei Yan, and Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei. Each of the five people got 10% of the company on average.

Wei Ze is the eldest son and has lived with his mother since childhood.

Therefore, Wei's mother gave 60% of the company's shares to Wei Ze...

So, Wei Ze, who held 70% of the company's shares, became a director of the company!

At that time, the market value of the entire Wei Group was estimated at around 2 billion.

However, Wei Ze was not good at management and was also ambitious. After only a few years, the company suffered huge losses and owed a large amount of foreign debt.

However, Wei Yan, who held 30% of the shares of Wei Group, founded his own company during this period, and his market value grew very quickly, doubling in almost every few months. Later, the market values ​​of the two companies were almost the same!

In this case, the gap between the two brothers is obvious when compared with each other.

Wei Ze hated Wei Yan's existence more and more...

"I never thought that Wei Ze actually had the idea of ​​killing people to silence them and using my inheritance to fill the hole..." Wei Yan chuckled, and his voice was as fleeting as clouds in the sky, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

Su Tang, Secretary Zhao and the other two looked at Wei Yan. Uncle Fu was already standing beside them, wiping away tears.

Only Wei Yan's low, hoarse voice still echoed in the room...

During a business trip, Wei Yan was kidnapped and the kidnappers threw him into a dark cellar where he stayed for more than ten days.

"I originally thought that the kidnappers wanted money, and they would not release me or kill me without the money..."

Wei Yan lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I didn't expect that I would find out later that those kidnappers had received money from Wei Ze. They deliberately locked me up in the cellar and gave me a little food every day. I was not starving to death, but I was also not full."

The cellar was dark and smelly, and for a long time, whenever he closed his eyes, he would dream of that terrible scene.

Hunger, darkness, loneliness, stench...

What Wei Ze wanted to see was him kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

"But...?" Su Tang frowned, somewhat confused.

She didn't quite understand how this kidnapping had anything to do with her nausea and vomiting.

Generally speaking, the kidnapped person is too hungry, and even if there is a psychological problem, it should be bulimia, not kosher.

As if he could see what Su Tang was thinking, Wei Yan stared at Su Tang for a moment, then slowly said: "When I was a child, there was an artificial sika deer breeding base in the town where I grew up. My grandparents bought a little sika deer to find a playmate for me. That deer accompanied me for many years... I liked it very much."

"I don't know how those kidnappers managed to kill the deer I raised..."

"During those ten days, I ate this deer..."

Wei Yan's eyelids drooped, his pupils were dark, and his voice was low and calm: "The place where I was tied up was relatively close to the equator, and the temperature in November was still relatively high. So for a period of time... the meat went bad and tasted terrible."

Su Tang and Secretary Zhao looked at each other and fell silent.

Not to mention the high temperature, even in a relatively cold environment, as long as the temperature is not below 0 degrees, fresh meat will definitely spoil and rot and emit a sour smell if left outside for more than ten days.

These guys obviously did it on purpose!

Secretary Zhao looked a little angry for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

Su Tang took two steps forward to comfort Wei Yan, but he continued to narrate: "Later, when Wei Ze went up the mountain to look for the kidnappers, I found an opportunity to escape... He drove his car to hit me, but he didn't expect his car to slip in the rain and collided with the kidnappers' car, and fell off the cliff at the same time."

So that night in the heavy rain, he was hit by a car and seriously injured, and Wei Ze also died that day!

He saw with his own eyes how Wei Ze was chatting cheerfully with the kidnappers. When they mentioned the kidnapping incident, he also saw with his own eyes how the other party gritted his teeth, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed towards him.

However, when he told this to Wei's mother, she said that Wei Ze had hired the kidnappers because he had given them money in order to save him.

He told the police about it, but the police said that according to the law, if the suspect had died before the report was made, the public security organ would not file a case. And the kidnappers were all alone, without even an heir, so civil compensation could not be pursued.

There were no cameras, no black boxes, and no evidence of any kind.

Everything was a mess at that time.

Wei Yan sneered. He had hated and resented Wei Ze in the past, but after seeing Wei Ze's tombstone, he could only let it go in the end.

But...

The dozen days in the cellar had caused him to develop a serious mysophobia, and he would have a stress reaction whenever he saw anything related to venison, but the severity of the problem depended on the severity.

"Mr. Wei, don't worry! We will definitely be able to overcome your current problem!"

Su Tang sighed, but nodded and consoled him earnestly: "Besides, compared to your previous illness, this problem is nothing! We can use the most common system desensitization therapy and suggestive counseling. As long as you can figure it out yourself, it won't take long for these problems to be cured without medication!"

When it comes to her profession, Su Tang perks up and talks eloquently.

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Tang. His thick eyelashes were black and long, casting tiny, mottled shadows under the man's eyelids.

He chuckled and said, "Doctor Su, do you really believe what I say?"

You know, when he said this, no one believed him. Even Wei's mother, who took care of him during his hospitalization, left quickly after hearing what he said, extremely angry...

As a result, for so many years, the other party has always thought that he is cold-hearted and a habitual liar.

So, after seeing his mother's attitude towards him and the police's statement of their rules not to file a case.

Wei Yan simply gave up the idea of ​​telling other people about this matter in recent years.

After all, it’s still the same sentence.

When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Some things have already happened whether you say it or not, and there will be no room for turning around.

"Why don't you believe it?"

Su Tang blinked, "Mr. Wei, there's no need to lie to me about this, right? If there's something hidden, just don't tell me. Anyway, other people don't know the details of this matter..."

There is absolutely no need for the other party to tell lies and fabricate a death for no apparent reason. This will only lead to bigger loopholes...

Moreover, Wei Yan had indeed been disabled for many years after the car accident, and he had a severe reaction to bloody venison and suffered from severe mysophobia.

This is almost completely consistent with what the other party said, plus the personalities that we have learned over the past few days.

Su Tang had absolutely no reason not to trust Wei Yan.

“…………”

Su Tang said it lightly, but the look in Wei Yan's eyes when he looked at Su Tang at that moment was extremely complicated.

He carefully observed Su Tang's expression. He could tell from her tone that she truly believed every word he had just said.

Wei Yan was silent for a while, and subconsciously looked up at Uncle Fu beside him. Seeing that the old butler's face was now covered with tears, he felt a little guilty and sighed deeply.

During the years that Uncle Fu was in the Wei family, he not only took care of him wholeheartedly and responsibly, but also took good care of Wei Ze's daily life.

The other party really treated him and Wei Ze as his own children.

Even his own mother didn't believe him, and Wei Yan didn't want to make things difficult for Uncle Fu over the years.

However, after so many years, Wei Yan still worried that Uncle Fu would ignore him like his mother did.

But he is no longer the fragile man who was betrayed by all his loved ones overnight.

If Uncle Fu was unwilling to believe him, he was willing to let the other party go and give Uncle Fu some money so that the other party could enjoy his old age.

"Young Master... you have suffered these years." Uncle Fu's voice was choked with sobs. He felt complicated, but he also understood why Wei Yan suddenly lost interest in food in recent years. In addition to his damaged taste buds, the rotten food and the physical and mental torture during the time he was locked in the cellar were probably the main reasons.

"...Those things are in the past." Wei Yan shook his head, his voice low.

However, the originally tense nerves and stiff muscles involuntarily relaxed slightly.

Psychological problems can only be solved through psychotherapy.

Su Tang glanced at Wei Yan and Fu Bo, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and carefully wrote down a new treatment plan, in which the treatment of emotional disorders and desensitization therapy accounted for the main part.

Su Tang wrote down the plan without looking up and said to Wei Yan, Secretary Zhao and the other two: "Mr. Wei... I saw you were able to stand up by holding on to the wall yesterday. Although your leg muscles are still trembling and you are a little overwhelmed, you need the support of a bodyguard. But you don't need acupuncture every day anymore."

"In the future, acupuncture can be reduced to twice a week!"

Su Tang's pen tip slid across the paper quickly, and he said in a brisk tone, "It just so happened that I received a notice from the hospital two days ago that I will be participating in the national hospital ranking competition next week."

"During this time, you can stay in the rehabilitation department of the Sixth Hospital, or you can hire a private rehabilitation doctor for rehabilitation training as usual..." Su Tang smiled. As long as she thought that the patient who had been treated for half a year would recover immediately, and she could get the promised remuneration, Su Tang was immediately filled with joy.

It was completely different from the heavy feeling all over his body just now.

"……?"

Secretary Zhao was puzzled, and felt a little dazed when he saw the joyful aura emanating from Su Tanghun.

He always felt that when Dr. Su mentioned that Mr. Wei was able to stand up by holding on to the wall last night, he was so excited that even his tone of voice rose a little.

It was as if the other party had suddenly thrown off a heavy burden.

Secretary Zhao: “…”

Secretary Zhao looked at Wei Yan with some sympathy. He had just noticed yesterday that his boss seemed to have a crush on Dr. Su. Could it be that his boss was going to suffer a broken heart today?

Sure enough, when the boss said that Dr. Su liked him, it was just the boss’s own fantasy!

Wei Yan: “……?”

Like Secretary Zhao, Wei Yan also saw the joyful aura emanating from Su Tang.

With dark eyes staring at Su Tang's cheerful back, Wei Yan subconsciously frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right...
