33 Jealousy (2)
There were scratches all over his body, a slight fracture in his arm from where he'd fallen, bleeding on his head, and broken ribs. He had a lot of injuries, but thankfully, none of them were serious.
Lin Jing was ruthless, but fortunately his senior brother was "thick-skinned and strong".
When Fang Yuanzhou arrived at the hospital, the patient had been bandaged and treated, but he was still unconscious. He wanted to send the other students back, so he left Fang Yuanzhou and another senior student in his third year of graduate school behind.
Fang Yuanzhou was worried and went to ask a doctor. After all, if the injury was not serious, why hadn't he woken up after such a long time? Did he need a CT scan or something to check again?
The doctor also shook his head and said helplessly, "We've done all the necessary tests, and his vital signs are normal. Theoretically, he should be awake. As for why he hasn't woken up yet—" The doctor adjusted his glasses and was silent for two seconds, "Maybe he just drank too much and fell asleep too late."
After hearing the doctor's explanation, Fang Yuanzhou felt a little embarrassed and could only say sorry a few times before returning to the bedside. He was actually sleepy, and another senior brother was also trying to force himself to sleep. Everyone had drunk a little bit, and after a sleepless night, everyone was extremely sleepy.
I don't even have the strength to speak.
The two of them had no choice but to sit in the corridor outside the ward and take a nap.
Wait for dawn, wait for people to wake up.
I waited until dawn with great difficulty, but because it was the holiday, I didn't want to disturb the teacher too early, so I waited until after 8 o'clock and finally called the teacher. However, during this period, the person on the hospital bed didn't wake up.
Another third-year graduate student couldn't help but grumble, "He really sleeps soundly!"
The phone rang several times before it was finally connected. Fang Yuanzhou first greeted and then quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, teacher, to bother you so early in the morning during the holidays. It's just that the situation is quite urgent, so I have to communicate with you now."
Fortunately, the teacher didn't say anything and just let him talk about it.
Then Fang Yuanzhou narrated the incident briefly and concisely, without adding any exaggeration, and just objectively stated the facts he knew.
After hearing this, the teacher felt a pang in his heart. Who could fight so easily, but Lin Jing?
"You didn't call the police?" Fang Yuanzhou didn't expect that the teacher's number one brother was not concerned about the current situation of the two people, but whether the police were called.
"No, after the incident, we sent him to the hospital. But he hasn't woken up yet."
"What about Lin Jing? How is Lin Jing?"
"Lin Jing is fine. I sent him home to rest before coming back to the hospital." Although he felt a little awkward, Fang Yuanzhou answered truthfully.
"Okay, then you stay in the hospital now. When Li Yang wakes up, see what he means and then contact me."
"Okay, teacher. What about their parents—"
"Don't worry about this. Just contact me if there's any situation at the hospital." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
From beginning to end, he didn't ask whether Li Yang was seriously injured or not. The only anxious words he asked about Lin Jing's condition. Although this was within Fang Yuanzhou's expectations, he still felt uncomfortable.
More than an hour later, Li Yang, who was lying on the hospital bed, finally woke up.
Fang Yuanzhou quickly called a doctor over, who examined him and found nothing wrong. He then arranged for him to be transferred to a regular ward. Nothing serious, just rest.
Fang Yuanzhou was not in a hurry to contact the teacher. He had to see what Li Yang's attitude was first.
After the doctor left, the other third-year graduate student spoke to Li Yang first, "What happened last night? What on earth happened? Although Junior Brother Lin Jing is usually aloof and cold, he's not the type to stir up trouble. What did you do?"
It sounds like this is blaming Li Yang for the cause of the incident, but anyone who has had contact with the two of them will know that there is nothing wrong with what the third-year graduate student said.
If the other party didn't take the initiative to provoke him, Lin Jing wouldn't even look at him.
Li Yang lay on the hospital bed, his eyes darting rapidly as he pretended to be trying to recall something. After a pause, he spoke, "What could I do? I went over to have a drink with him, but he refused and stood up to leave. I just pulled him aside, and that was it."
"Impossible." Fang Yuanzhou said this in a firm tone.
He knew that if he simply pulled Lin Jing, he would at most shake him off, and the subsequent events would not happen at all. He must be hiding something.
Li Yang looked indifferent. After all, the injured person lying on the hospital bed was him, not Lin Jing. So what if his family was powerful? He was a living person. What could they do to him?
He simply stopped pretending and said, "At worst, I can call the police and let them see who is right and who is wrong, and who has broken the law. Aren't his parents very powerful? Isn't his family very rich? Does that mean they can bully ordinary people at will? Come on, I'm not afraid anyway. Justice is in the hearts of the people." As he said this, he pretended to reach for his cell phone to call the police, but unfortunately he didn't find the cell phone.
"Where's my phone?"
Neither Fang Yuanzhou nor Senior Brother Yansan wanted to pay attention to him, so they had to give up, but they still kept shouting things like "This matter is not over yet".
The two stood outside the door. The third-year graduate student said he was going to get some food first, but he couldn't completely ignore Li Yang. Then he asked Fang Yuanzhou to tell the teacher about the current situation and see if the teacher could intervene. He couldn't really call the police either, as it would have a bad impact on everyone.
After the third-year graduate student left, Fang Yuanzhou called his teacher again and explained the situation, Li Yang's attitude, and his reaction, including the phrase "Call the police at worst."
The teacher didn't react much, he just asked for the ward number and said he would be there in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuanzhou sat quietly in the corridor outside the ward, eyes closed, expressionless. He was very tired, partly because he hadn't slept for so long, and partly because he was confused about what happened last night and heartbroken by the teacher's reaction.
It seems that this is how society is. Ordinary people's right to speak is exploited, and the rich and powerful enjoy absolute resources and status. He has understood this a long time ago, hasn't he?
Professor Tang hung up the phone and looked at Shao Lan who was sitting opposite him.
After Fang Yuanzhou hung up the first call, he contacted Shao Lan.
Shao Lan was not at all panicked when he learned what had happened. At least Professor Tang didn't notice it at all.
Shao Lan first exchanged some polite greetings, then asked Professor Tang if he had time to have a cup of tea together. One reason was that he had prepared a small gift for the New Year, and the other was to see how Lin Jing's issue was resolved.
Professor Tang and Shao Lan have close business dealings, and considering Lin Yuanshen's relationship, Professor Tang naturally had to accept the invitation.
So, when Fang Yuanzhou called for the second time, the two of them were already sitting together. The phone was on speakerphone, and Shao Lan naturally listened to the whole process, still expressionless, as if the person involved in the matter had nothing to do with her and was insignificant.
Shao Lan brewed tea and handed a cup to Professor Tang. After finishing her slow movements, she slowly spoke, "What do you think about this matter, Professor Tang? After all, she is your student. Although she is Lin Jing's mother, I can't intervene too directly to avoid being criticized."
The implication is that you take care of your students.
"Don't worry too much about that. He's in his third year of graduate school this year, and I'm still in charge of his graduation."
She was expressionless, and he was calm.
He is just an ordinary student, no one would take him seriously at all.
Strangely enough, Lin Jing had a good night's sleep. Perhaps due to physical and mental exhaustion, he slept until noon. The first thing he did when he woke up was check his phone. There were many unread messages, but he paid no attention to them. He simply looked for Li Yaya's WeChat Moments. He couldn't help but feel like he had dreamed what happened last night, and now he was awake. It had to be fake, yes, it had to be fake.
However, that photo was once again nakedly displayed in front of his eyes.
He threw his cell phone aside and lay straight on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
He knew his phone was ringing, it was Fang Yuanzhou. He didn't want to talk or answer it, but he had to answer it because the matter of last night had not been resolved.
"Hello~" The moment Lin Jing spoke, he realized why his voice became so hoarse.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Maybe it's because I just woke up." Lin Jing cleared his throat and tried to calm down. "What's wrong?"
Fang Yuanzhou knew that he was asking about Li Yang, so he didn't waste any time and gave him a brief overview of the situation. Then he assured him that Teacher Tang would come over in the afternoon to resolve the issue.
Since Professor Tang knew about it, it meant that Shao Lan should also know about it. Even when she was fighting, Shao Lan was indifferent. It seemed that, apart from Li Yaya, nothing could make her lose control.
"What time is it?"
"What time?"
"What time will Professor Tang go there this afternoon?"
"He didn't say anything specific, just said he would come over in the afternoon."
"What's the ward number?"
"Are you coming over this afternoon? I think you can actually keep your eyes closed for now—"
"What's the room number?"
Fang Yuanzhou knew that Lin Jing was actually a stubborn person. As long as he wanted to come, even if he was not told the ward number, he would come even if he had to search every room.
I told him the room number and hung up.
Fang Yuanzhou asked his senior brother from the third year of research to go back and rest first. The senior brother did not refuse, but just said that he would go back and find someone to replace him.
After learning that Professor Tang would be coming over that afternoon, Li Yang didn't make any more noise. He just ate and lay down to rest.
Fang Yuanzhou spent most of his time resting with his eyes closed. He was so tired that he had to go back and have a good sleep.
Just as he was resting with his eyes closed, he heard footsteps. Fang Yuanzhou opened his eyes and saw Professor Tang appear before him. Of course, there was not only the professor, but also a middle-aged woman. She was very well-maintained and dressed, and it was obvious that she was not an ordinary person. She was accompanied by someone who looked like an assistant.
Fang Yuanzhou hurriedly greeted Professor Tang, but the middle-aged woman next to him never looked at him from beginning to end.
That feeling of being arrogant and defiant always reminded him of someone—Lin Jing. Could it be that—Fang Yuanzhou had his own guess in his mind.
Li Yang also pretended to be well-behaved, weak and hurt, and called out to the teacher weakly.
Fang Yuanzhou felt contempt in his heart. It was not like this during lunch!
