Do you have any cigarettes?
Shen Yanqing looked up at the room on the second floor and suddenly asked.
"have."
Da Tou immediately nodded, and then saw Shen Yanqing extend his hand to him: "Give me one."
Miss Gu used to hate the smell of smoke, but didn't the boss quit smoking? Why is he doing it again now...?
He observed Shen Yanqing's expression, but ultimately asked nothing and silently took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to her.
He casually took out a lighter and lit it for him.
Shen Yanqing took a cigarette, took two puffs, and then took out his phone to call Song Anze.
In the office, Song Anze was eating his takeout, cursing inwardly as he ate. He thought, "President Shen is such a bad brother. I traveled all this way, and he can't even afford to have a meal with me."
Just as he was secretly grumbling to himself, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the familiar contact name, Song Anze couldn't help but roll his eyes. Speak of the devil and he appears.
He answered the call and said irritably, "Mr. Shen, what can I do for you now?"
"Is there no other way to deal with the Gu poison?"
“Give me enough time, and I’m sure I can develop an antidote, but… Miss Gu might not be able to wait. If too much time passes and the Gu worms grow, not only will her memory deteriorate, but she might also end up like those people who are imprisoned…”
Shen Yanqing paused for a moment, then said, "I understand. Continue your research, and I will also think of other ways."
He hung up the phone, stared silently at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, and after a moment of silence, asked, "Where is Qi Yu now?"
After Qi Yu was admitted to Sunshine Mental Hospital again, he was accompanied by two male caregivers who took turns watching over him 24 hours a day.
After his last escape, these two people now take turns following him wherever he goes, even waiting outside his toilet stall.
Qi Yu didn't care. Apart from eating and going to the toilet, she spent most of her time in her room in a daze, treating the two people as if they were invisible.
When Shen Yanqing arrived, he was still the same as before, leaning against the wall with one leg bent on the iron-framed bed in the room, his face facing the door, his dark eyes staring straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
Hearing the sound outside the door, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze slowly focusing. The moment his eyes met Shen Yanqing's, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing that he still looked so nonchalant, Big Head gritted his teeth in hatred: "Boss, should I give him another good beating?"
Shen Yanqing just stared at the person in the room without responding, clearly not wanting to talk to him.
Big Head scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, and shut his mouth.
Where is the antidote?
After a moment of silence, Shen Yanqing spoke first.
Do you think I'd tell you?
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of smugness in her expression.
“You care about Weiwei a lot and don’t want her to suffer like this, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to take her away and go through all the trouble of casting a spell on her.”
Shen Yanqing met his gaze through the rusty iron window, her voice filled with certainty.
"You seem to have forgotten that I wanted to kill her from the very beginning."
Qi Yu's lips curled into a mocking smile as her fingers rubbed the button on her cuff.
"But you didn't succeed, did you?"
Shen Yanqing stared into his eyes and spoke softly.
After saying that, Qi Yu didn't reply. The surroundings fell silent instantly, with only the sound of their quiet breathing audible.
After a long silence, Shen Yanqing spoke again: "What exactly do you want to do?"
After saying that, he stared intently into Qi Yu's eyes, but the other party clearly had no intention of continuing to answer him. She chuckled, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned back against the wall.
"Boss, let me in! I'm going to beat him to death!"
Shen Yanqing didn't speak again, but Da Tou couldn't stand it anymore. This brat's arrogant attitude was really asking for a beating.
"go back."
In contrast to Da Tou's agitation, Shen Yanqing was completely calm.
He glanced quietly at Qi Yu, who was leaning against the wall as if asleep, then turned and strode away.
"Boss, why won't you let me beat him up?"
Big Head glared at Qi Yu fiercely and hurriedly followed.
Why are you arguing with a mentally ill person?
Shen Yanqing spoke calmly.
As soon as the two stepped out of the corridor, Director Chen of Sunshine Mental Hospital, accompanied by several doctors, greeted them with a broad smile: "President Chen, we are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."
Shen Yanqing nodded slightly and smiled at him: "Dean Chen, I heard there are quite a few lively and active patients in the hospital? I think Qi Yu is rather aloof. How about we arrange for him to have a more outgoing roommate to live with him? That might make him a bit more outgoing. What do you think?"
Dean Chen was taken aback, not understanding what he meant by those words.
Just then, the group arrived at the door of a ward. Inside, a patient was repeatedly banging his head against the wall. His forehead was bleeding, and blood was streaming down his face, but he seemed oblivious to the pain and continued to bang his head against the wall.
The walls were left with shocking bloodstains, each one terrifying.
Shen Yanqing stopped and looked into the room. The iron-framed bed had been overturned, and everything that could be smashed was broken to pieces. Amidst the mess, the man raised his eyes and looked at them fiercely, his eyes like those of a mad beast, bloodthirsty and chilling.
Dean Chen and the doctors were startled. Someone reminded them, "President Chen, this patient has severe schizophrenia. What he's exhibiting now is his violent personality. We'd better leave quickly..."
As they were speaking, with a clang, the man's two large, iron-like hands gripped the iron bars of the door tightly. His bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at everyone, his eyeballs almost bulging out of their sockets.
He pounded on the iron gate repeatedly with his body, his voice maniacal: "Open the door, open the door, I'm going to kill you all, kill you all!"
Dean Chen said cautiously, "President Shen... he's not doing well right now, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
He looked at Shen Yanqing for his opinion, only to find that the other was standing quietly in front of the iron fence.
The crazed man waved his hands, veins bulging, almost reaching him.
Shen Yanqing looked at him with great interest: "Does he do this often?"
The doctor who initially alerted him hurriedly replied, "Yes, his condition is very bad. He spends most of the day in a violent state. His roommate was almost beaten to death by him before."
"Hmm, he's quite lively. I think he's a good match for Qi Yu's quiet personality."
Shen Yanqing smiled and said, "Dean Chen, please remember to make arrangements later. After all, Qi Yu is practically a friend of mine, so please take good care of her."
He left those words behind with a smile.
Only after the black Maybach drove away did Dean Chen belatedly realize that President Shen was trying to kill Qi Yu.
This guy isn’t a good person anyway, so why not do Mr. Shen a favor?
It's quite normal for a mentally ill person to go crazy and kill another person in a mental hospital.
Dean Chen clicked his tongue in amazement. With Qi Yu's small frame, she probably wouldn't last more than two days against that madman. President Chen's move was ruthless enough.
