Chapter 103 No Qualification
Chen Jingyang slowly exhaled, shook his head, and his eyes quickly reddened: "I don't know! I fucking don't know anything!"
He sniffed, his throat tightening as if someone had choked him, his voice hoarse: "Someone just called me, saying they were a police officer from the district, telling me he'd collapsed at the elevator entrance and was only called by someone after being discovered..."
Overwhelmed with regret, a throbbing pain squeezed his chest as if it were about to burst. Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Jingyang slammed his hand on the elevator with a loud "bang!"
The elevator creaked and shuddered, startling Lin Zheyan. He involuntarily glanced at Chen Jingyang's palm and felt that the steel plate had been dented an inch by the blow.
Chen Jingyang clenched his fist and slammed it down hard. After a long while, a sound like his body being crushed could be heard: "I don't know how long he lay on the ground... before anyone found him!"
This was the first time Chen Jingyang had shown such a grief-stricken expression in front of Lin Zheyan.
He attended a prestigious private school abroad from the age of 10, spending 10 years growing up alone. This solitary environment fostered his introverted personality.
He has always been good at self-control and rarely shows his emotions. He always presents a dignified and elegant demeanor, and is gentle and polite to everyone.
Lin Zheyan has been by Chen Jingyang's side since the day he returned to China. It has been four years. In these four years, he has never seen Chen Jingyang's eyes red, let alone lose control of his emotions to the point of self-harm by smashing the elevator.
Lin Zheyan's circle is rather mixed, but overall it's quite clean, so he didn't know before that the "dog" Chen Jingyang was referring to was Zhang Pengfei.
It wasn't until Zhang Pengfei arrived at Tanzhi that he realized what had happened, especially after Chen Jingyang hit Director Wang, that he became pretty sure of it.
Just to be on the safe side, he still asked Chen Jingyang for confirmation. Although Chen Jingyang didn't say it explicitly, he didn't deny it either.
Considering the way he looked at Zhang Pengfei, which was practically blatant lewdness, it completely confirmed the suspicion.
As Chen Jingyang's special assistant, his eyes were always on Chen Jingyang, so he knew very well what had happened yesterday.
Furthermore, having been by Chen Jingyang's side for so long, as Chen Jingyang's "cousin," he knew of Li Jianren's existence and naturally understood some of the grudges between the two. Therefore, when he saw Chen Jingyang chasing after Li Jianren and Zhang Pengfei to the fire escape, he felt something was wrong.
But this was Chen Jingyang's private matter, and he had no right to interfere. He was also afraid that if he went over rashly, it would escalate the conflict.
Most importantly, Chen Jingyang doesn't like others interfering in his private affairs, not even his father Chen Qishan!
So even if he knew, he couldn't, or rather, dared not, openly knock on Chen Jingyang's office door.
This is a company, not a 7005!
This is an office space, not a place for Chen Jingyang to vent his personal desires!
If Chen Jingyang knocks on the door abruptly and someone else notices something, he could end up trending on the front page!
Lin Zheyan watched Chen Jingyang beat his chest in frustration, his icy face completely expressionless. He truly couldn't understand why someone who clearly liked another person would do something like that!
The elevator doors opened, and Lin Zheyan stepped out: "I'll go with you. More people means more things will get done. Going to a hospital alone would be exhausting."
Chen Jingyang remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
Upon arriving at the emergency room, police officers and doctors were communicating.
The doctor asked, "Why haven't the family members arrived yet? The person is dying! We can't remove the smart ring!"
Police officer: "They said they'd be there soon, but couldn't you just use a tool to forcibly disconnect that thing?"
The doctor said anxiously, "No, we've tried. The smart ring is made of metal, and forcibly removing it will cause an electric shock. The patient's condition is extremely critical right now, and we're afraid it won't be able to withstand the shock!"
The policeman scratched his head: "What can we do? With that thing on, we can't even do a CT scan. If this continues, is there any hope for this person?"
Chen Jingyang felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He stopped in his tracks, hurriedly took out his phone, and unlocked the smart ring.
He had completely forgotten that Zhang Pengfei was still wearing that damn smart ring!
The supplier had already released a mini-program, and Zhang Pengfei would have thrown away that remote control long ago if he hadn't wanted to keep it to tease him again.
To prevent destructive removal, the smart ring is equipped with a self-protection program. If it is forcibly removed, it will release a large current, which would immediately kill Zhang Pengfei!
A few seconds later, a nurse ran out: "Dr. Cui, the smart ring has been removed, and it turned on automatically!"
Dr. Cui was overjoyed: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get the CT scan done right away!"
Chen Jingyang calmed himself down and walked towards the police officer: "Hello, I am Chen Jingyang, Zhang Pengfei's... friend."
The police officer frowned: "Didn't you say on the phone that you were his family member?"
Chen Jingyang pursed his lips: "I...I was in a hurry and misspoke."
The policeman clicked his tongue: "Aren't you just making things worse? Do you have his family's contact information?"
Yes, it exists, but I can't give it to you!
Dou Qiaoyun is still in the hospital and unable to take care of herself. If we tell her about Zhang Pengfei, she might faint on the spot, and all her previous treatments might be wasted.
Hua Hua is only 7 years old, a minor. If you call her over, all she can do is cry.
His uncle, Zhang Tianmin, could be considered one, but Zhang Pengfei once said that he had cut off all contact with Zhang Tianmin, so having Zhang Tianmin come would probably only make him a laughing stock.
“His father has passed away, his mother is paralyzed in the hospital, his younger sister is 7 years old, and he has no other relatives. I live with him and can take care of everything for him, no matter how much it costs!”
The policeman scoffed, "Is this about how much money it costs? This is about a human life!"
He pointed his thumb toward the emergency room: "Eighty percent, no! Ninety-nine percent, he'll need brain surgery. He has such a huge lump on his head, and a fever of over 41 degrees Celsius. He's still breathing; he's just incredibly lucky!"
He frowned at Chen Jingyang, clearly displeased: "This is a matter of life and death. Only a relative can sign for surgery. Don't you even have this basic common sense? How can you, an outsider, take full responsibility for him? What if something goes wrong? Are you going to explain this to his mother and sister?!"
The police officer's words were like heavy hammer blows, smashing Chen Jingyang's brain into a bloody mess!
Yeah, can he?!
Although he considered Zhang Pengfei his property, he believed he could control Zhang Pengfei's finances, interfere with Zhang Pengfei's social life, restrict Zhang Pengfei's freedom, and even punish or do whatever he wanted!
He thought he could decide everything for Zhang Pengfei, but in reality, he couldn't decide anything.
When Zhang Pengfei was in imminent danger, he was just a complete outsider in the face of laws and regulations!
He could only stand there helplessly, watching and waiting.
He doesn't even have the right to sign!
