Chapter 4, The Eight-Minute Case
Wen Jing happily nodded: "This is our department's treasure, Dr. Song. She will be proposed to by her boyfriend today, and we have prepared everything in advance."
Sister," Lin Fan called to her from the hospital bed
Lin Guan's hair brushed against Li Weixi's chin, leaving Li Weixi even more at a loss: "Amber, you are Lin Fan's sister?"
Eight minutes, and there is no time for the police to arrive. Even if the police do arrive, with so many people around, by the time they catch Wei Lei, it is likely that Guo Hongquan will have already lost his life
Jian Yifan felt a surge of joy in her heart: "What a coincidence, I also like red"
In the intensive care unit, Lin Guanyi embraced Li Weixi tightly, resting directly in his arms
Wei Lei smiled faintly and finally spoke: "Everyone together... die"
The buildings and branches outside the window ripple in the afterglow of the setting sun, adding a touch of silence to the entire hospital. The blood-red clouds hide behind the western mountains, shadows of clouds linger, and the sound of the wind is vast, resembling countless ordinary days. Yet today is destined to be anything but ordinary
Song Zhaixing smiled and teased him, but there was no response from the other side for a long time
Wei Lei's complexion was dim, as if it had taken him a long time to accept this outcome. "I originally... I was planning to... use explosives to kill... kill my boss. But... but today he said... he looked at me... and said, 'Xiao Wei, you have worked hard, go and fix... the boss still remembers me, so I changed my mind."
Song Zhaixing, holding the phone, trembled slightly; at this moment, a single misstep could lead to total defeat.
The fragrant aroma of the golden chrysanthemum permeates the air, sweet and delightful, truly pleasant to the senses
Guo Hongquan looked at the unremarkable Wei Lei, somewhat bewildered. Before he could speak, Wei Lei explained again: "I... I used to... also feel very itchy... Later... it... got better"
In your childhood, you not only suffered from bedwetting but also experienced severe enuresis, and your relationship with your mother was quite poor. Due to your feelings of inferiority, you preferred to stand and sit in high places; only when you were tall and looked down on others did you feel a sense of security
What are you doing!" Jian Yifan exclaimed in surprise, stepping forward to seize the woman's hand.
Ah?
In the consultation room, Wei Lei sat upright, while Li Weixi took a seat opposite him and greeted him.
I apologize, I was too careless
Li Weixi turned around and headed towards his department. Perhaps he was extremely tired, as the champagne fell to the ground the moment he turned, shattering with a loud "bang." The scattered shards of the bottle reflected his pale and desolate self.
I am so excited, A Xing has finally achieved success!
Wei Lei was somewhat surprised, his lips began to tremble, which made Li Weixi even more certain
Song Zhaixing nodded; there was no other way now. However, before he could set off, he was suddenly pulled back by Li Weixi.
Li Weixi did not enter; he stood under the glass window, staring at the tightly closed door without moving for a moment. Even though they were not in the same space, he outside the door and Wei Lei inside were locked in a fierce confrontation.
What are you crying about! You cause me trouble every day, can't you just focus on your studies
Li Weixi hung up the phone and, while running downstairs, shouted to the other security guards: "C Zone 12, Guo Hongquan is in the container!"
In stark contrast to what Qiaoqiao and Yun Yuehua had in mind, Li Weixi arranged for everyone to continue their work as usual, and even the psychology department returned to its normal state, beginning to receive patients.
I like winter
In the pediatric department, the scene was chaotic with blinking eyes, and the cries of children grew louder. Before long, even Jian Yifan's cries could be heard.
Only the personnel from the Security Division quietly waited in the corner, unnoticed by anyone
Li Weixi pondered for a moment and smiled, saying, "Perhaps your father has higher expectations of you"
Chen Xiwan once again picked up the intercom and commanded, this was the only thing he could do to help Li Weixi
Director, no sign of Guo Hongquan was found in the restroom
Hu Li's voice of apology pulled Song Zhaixing's thoughts back. The other side had long since fallen silent; Si Yan hung up the phone immediately after saying the breakup, leaving her no room for even a moment of refusal. Song Zhaixing slowly stood up and looked at everyone.
I have an anti-itch medication
Li Weixi furrowed his brow. He had just wanted to ask Wei Lei five questions, which were actually about what the five images represented. This is a typical Rorschach inkblot test, where by answering what these meaningless inkblot images resemble, one can project Wei Lei's psychological state. However, if he were to be asked directly, he would definitely be very resistant. Therefore, Li Weixi offered him a choice, aiming to understand him as much as possible within a few short minutes
As predicted by Li Weixi, Wei Lei remained silent. For eight minutes, he was determined not to allow himself to learn more about him.
Hu Li shook her head while crying, "The measurement form is not yet completed; it only has my name and job written down, which is an electrician"
He hurriedly ran downstairs
Li Weixi, hiding in a corner, asked her over the phone: "Did Wei Lei walk through the entire second and third floors?"
Jian Yifan watched as Gao Can busily comforted the child and consoled the woman, overwhelmed with the tasks at hand, and gently asked her, attempting to divert her attention
As they spoke, Hu Li walked up to Wei Lei with a watch in hand, her tone already somewhat impatient: "Have you registered? Are you in line? Who allowed you to come in directly?"
In the Security Department, Song Zhaixing and Jian Yifan watched Wei Lei reappear on the surveillance monitor and quickly called Li Weixi.
Lin Fan was momentarily taken aback, "I do not understand"
It seemed that the conversation had suddenly touched on Wei Lei's sore spot; he no longer smiled, yet remained silent, quietly locking eyes with Li Weixi.
Before Hu Li could respond, Guo Hongquan's phone rang again. Infuriated, he answered the call and immediately began to curse: "Which son of a gun can't finish such a small task! Just get fired! Don't blame me, as the boss, for not giving you face; if the company isn't making money, we'll all be left to starve!"
The two of them were talking non-stop, but Li Weixi frowned and said, "How do you know? If it's something like a proposal, it shouldn't be mentioned in advance."
Is this Director Wu? I am Wang Ke, the director of Fangda Pharmaceutical. I heard that your department is going to procure our company's fluoxetine. I really want to thank you for this. When would it be convenient for you? Shall we have a meal together?
At 5:10 PM, Song Zhaixing from the psychology department stared intently at the screen of her phone, a smile spreading from the corners of her mouth to her eyes. A few bunches of sunflowers were blooming perfectly on the windowsill, and Jian Yifan knew they were her favorite flowers, specially picked to celebrate. Large white clouds reflected the sunflowers, shining brightly.
Wei Lei remained silent, yet Li Weixi was intently watching him. "In eight minutes, once the power system is restored to normal, we will naturally find Guo Hongquan. He is stuck in the elevator, suspended in mid-air due to the sudden power outage!"
I am here.
Song Zhaixing remained silent, while the security team leader happened to find the last scene where Wei Lei appeared, which was precisely when he left the psychiatric department together with Guo Hongquan
Through the inkblot test, one can quickly understand a person. A Xing has the most experience in this area. Why not let A Xing give it a try? Jian Yifan looked at Song Zhaixing as if seeking help.
How many same-sex relationships have you had
Li Weixi was extremely surprised: "Amber?"
Hu Li said while arranging for another chubby man in a different location: "Is this the patient of Jian Yifan? Please fill out a form."
In the ICU ward, Li Weixi is conducting a psychological consultation with Lin Fan. Lin Fan is completely wrapped in bandages, yet his voice is remarkably clear and pure
"It shouldn't be the case," Song Zhaixing pondered for a moment and shook his head. "His only demand is for us to rescue Guo Hongquan within eight minutes. If he wanted to cause mass casualties, he wouldn't inform us in advance."
Lin Fan did not speak, seemingly unwilling to mention his father. Li Weixi naturally noticed this rejection and instead asked: "When did you realize your sexual orientation?"
The fire alarm is still ringing, and the security department along with the doctors are gradually evacuating the patients, but the final message received is that no fire has been found. The entire hospital has not yet restored power; only the secondary power supply from the generator has been temporarily activated to ensure electricity for key departments. Hu Li is holding Guo Xiaohan's hand, hesitant to walk far, anxiously waiting.
Before he could finish his words, an unbearable itch suddenly arose on his back. Guo Hongquan endured it and continued, "Doctor, I have been scratching frequently lately. I will go buy some medicine shortly, so please take care of the child for now."
The young woman was only in her thirties, and she was momentarily stunned by his shout. Jian Yifan seized the opportunity to continue his reproach: "Is it the printer's fault that the copy is not good? Clearly, it is the original that is at fault! You should take a look at yourself; your child is crying like this and you still want to print? Perhaps you are the one who is abusive?"
Two individuals stand out awkwardly in the crowd, yet no one knows what they are saying, and even fewer pay them any attention. It is akin to the countless patients and doctors in a hospital, often overlooked by those around them.
The sunlight streamed through the glass window onto Li Weixi, who slowly raised his head, gazing at the blue sky and flying birds, observing the treetops and tall buildings, his expression serene
Proposing over the phone
It was only then that Li Weixi thought to respond to him, but before he could say anything, all the lights in the ward suddenly went out, followed by the extremely piercing sound of the fire alarm.
Li Weixi's voice came again: "There is something suspicious in the hall"
Hu Li watched as Song Zhaixing was surrounded by people like a precious treasure. She had thought that Song must be an expert in her thirties, but to her surprise, she was so young. It seemed that she was only a few years older than herself, yet she was evidently the most valued and cherished person in the department, which made Hu Li secretly sigh in admiration.
Lin Fan felt somewhat shy, but still nodded his head
Wei Lei chose the pen and white paper to his right. Then, in a rather ironic manner, he drew a rectangle on it. The stroke was completed in one go, without any excess.
Red
Lin Guan finally stood up straight, playfully tossing her freshly curled hair, appearing even more stunning under the sunlight. Although late autumn had passed, she still wore a short skirt, and her new red short jacket paired with burgundy ankle boots showcased her exceptional sense of fashion. Now, she gazed directly at Li Weixi with her pearl-like eyes, and then broke into a charming smile.
Yes, you no longer need to call me by my name in the United States; just call me Guanguan.
Wei Lei frowned, and his complexion immediately turned pale
Li Wei raised his arm slightly, momentarily at a loss for what to do
No! Li Weixi felt as if he had been electrocuted, standing up in a panic, not even taking his watch, and directly rushing out the door
Lee? Is that really you
Lin Fan frowned: "Aren't you being too enthusiastic about my doctor?"
Wei Lei smiled at him, and he caught a whiff of the foul breath emanating from Guo Hongquan's mouth, tainted by years of smoking, yet he showed no sign of discomfort. The smile on his face deepened.
I am saving you!" Lin Guan rolled her eyes at him
Situated in the center of the assessment room on the third floor, Wu Cong had just settled in with the intern Hu Li and before leaving, advised her: "You can stay here with Wen Jing, mainly assisting several doctors with their daily tasks"
"Sadist?" The woman, infuriated, still had her arm grasped in Jian Yifan's hand, and without hesitation, she swung her palm down, catching Jian Yifan off guard
There are one minute and forty-two seconds remaining
He guessed wrong. Li Weixi leaned against the door frame, breathing heavily. From the micro-expressions he had just observed on Wei Lei's face, it was clear that Guo Hongquan was not there at all
Wei Lei slowly ascended to the third floor wearing an inconspicuous jacket. He walked to the side of the trash can while feeling the object in his left pocket, and after about five minutes, he still had not made up his mind whether to throw it away. It was not until a father hurriedly passed by him with his son, bumping into his shoulder without even saying sorry, that he left the spot. The object was not discarded; it remained there. It was not until a father hurriedly passed by him with his son, bumping into his shoulder without even saying sorry, that he left the spot. The object was not discarded; it remained there.
I... I can no longer feel well... I... I am utterly worthless...
Are you saying that Guo Hongquan is on the first floor
Suddenly, chaos erupted outside, with crowds surging outward, the sounds of trampling and cries rising and falling in succession, and the entire hospital was once again thrown into disarray
Aunt
Lin Fan nodded, but then said: "He is usually very gentle, but every time I am home alone, he is very strict with me"
You all focus on maintaining the clients first; let go of anyone under you who can be dismissed, and get rid of those you find displeasing! If we cannot get through this crisis, do not think that I, as the boss, will be unable to succeed, nor will you be able to earn a single penny!
In the measurement room, Hu Li has been extremely busy since early morning. Wen Jing has taken a leave of absence, and all the patients—both new and returning—must check in with her, making it nearly impossible for an intern to cope.
Li Weixi had been scrutinizing Lin Guan's expressions and actions, as if he had not heard her previous words. His gaze shifted and he said: "I have always been puzzled as to why the media arrived so early when Lin Fan was hospitalized. The hospital did not leak any information, and Lin's father would not disclose anything either. It seems that you secretly informed the media, didn't you?"
There is one minute and fifteen seconds remaining
What if everyone looks down on him?
Is there any progress?" Wu Cong anxiously paced back and forth, "We have already reported to the police, but in just a few minutes, it seems that the person cannot be saved.
The personnel from the security department were also watching Li Weixi's phone, and everyone held their breath, observing as the remaining time dwindled. The sound of Hu Li calling out names, Fang Lin moving between various departments, and Sun Sirui treating patients filled the floors of the department building, creating a facade of tranquility that only heightened everyone's anxiety.
What about your injury
Do not cry! Just look at how many points you scored this time, you still have the face to cry.
Li Weixi moved a little closer to him, trying to control his emotions as much as possible, "You were supposed to come here for treatment, why did you suddenly decide to kidnap him"
After Li Weixi finished speaking, he immediately grasped the doorknob. Just as he was about to enter, Hu Li suddenly exclaimed, "He is a stutterer!"
Since Wei Lei brought the photo of Guo Hongquan and his son Guo Xiaohan to the psychology department, Hu Li explained everything to them over the phone. Eight minutes, only eight minutes to save Guo Hongquan, otherwise, in eight minutes, Guo Hongquan would explode immediately, leaving no trace behind
However, the shapes he draws now resemble a provocation towards himself. They carry no additional meaning, and even consist of extremely common strokes. It is nearly impossible to understand how Wei Lei found Guo Hongquan from this shape.
Only Xi, Wei Lei arrived at the hospital driving a container truck! The vehicle is parked in Area C, No. 12
Wei Lei chased after him and patted Guo Hongquan
The security captain nodded and said, "There are indeed people, but I am concerned that Wei Lei may still have some explosive devices on him, which would make it difficult to control the situation."
Not far away, the furious voice of Guo Hongquan filled the entire department.
The circuit has not yet been repaired, and there are also some black screens in the monitoring. It will take some time to find Wei Lei. Jian Yifan did not forget to remind him: "Prepare your personnel, when Dr. Li comes out, make sure the brothers catch Wei Lei!"
Wei Lei stood at the office door with his hands in his pockets, watching the patients and their families continuously pass by him, observing the doctors diligently performing their duties, feeling as if he were a fool, unnoticed by anyone.
The security captain looked at Song Zhaixing and said, "This is a hospital, where patients do not know each other, and everywhere there are gentle doctors. Who could possibly provoke him?"
I am a sadist, beating you until your face is covered in bruises
Li Weixi took out five ink paintings, along with a pen and a piece of white paper, allowing him to make a choice. This clearly turned into a transaction; if he wished to continue speaking, he would have to make a selection, with neither party willing to back down.
Fang Lin also added: "If I am not mistaken, it should be this afternoon!"
As the phone vibrated, Song Zhaixing sat up straight as if she had been electrocuted, the caller ID displaying Si Yan. In a hurry, Song Zhaixing made a gesture to silence the phone, her cheeks turning a rosy red, reminiscent of the faint marks left by spring on a cherry tree.
Li Weixi encountered a significant dilemma
For several consecutive days, Li Weixi was busy attending media interviews, gradually revealing some of Lin Fan's latest conditions. His act of saving Lin Fan attracted considerable attention, and coupled with his previous assistance to the police in subduing Liu Fushan, the media's tracking and reporting on this psychologist surged, making him a sudden sensation and the center of attention.
Jian Yifan raised her hand and pointed at Li Weixi, looking as if she understood everything: "You have hit the nail on the head, Dr. Li! How could her boyfriend possibly say anything? It was I who discovered it! A-Xing and her boyfriend Si Yan had a quarrel a few days ago, and I secretly monitored Si Yan's Facebook. Through various clues, I found out that Si Yan is going to propose to her!"
However, the surveillance footage at the back is not visible, searching for Guo Hongquan is akin to chasing a dream. Jian Yifan can only sigh, "It seems we are unable to assist Dr. Li."
When Li Weixi finished his last word, Wei Lei glanced at his watch, with four minutes and forty seconds remaining
The air fell silent for a few seconds, and Song Zhaixing carefully observed the footage related to Wei Lei, slowly saying: "Perhaps we have overlooked something."
Li Weixi slightly straightened his posture, staring intently at his face, and began to speak: "Your attire is quite meticulous; although it is not high-end clothing, its excessive neatness and cleanliness indicate that you are particularly concerned about others' opinions, while also proving your uniqueness. You are generally more self-deprecating than confident, and your relationship with your parents is not harmonious; in other words, at least one of your parents often argues with you. You may have frequently wet the bed when you were a child ... ... ."
Wei Lei looked somewhat astonished, staring at him with wide eyes
"Look here," Song Zhaixing pointed to the location of the measurement room and said to the two, "He is here today for a medical examination! As for why he suddenly kidnapped Guo Hongquan, it must be due to some provocation he encountered along the way."
Song Zhaixing was adjusting the previous surveillance footage while observing Wei Lei, "No, he only walked to the middle position, occasionally glancing into the lobby on the first floor."
At this moment, Gao Can was too busy to pay attention to him, as a woman accompanied by a child came in for a consultation. The child was crying incessantly, and the woman was chattering non-stop.
I have come to collect the information on the child with 'Monday Syndrome.' Jian Yifan stealthily approached Gao Can, smiling in a manner that was both gentle and obsequious, "I am not in a hurry; you can take your time with your work."
Under the clear blue sky, the entire hospital was bathed in golden sunlight. Outside the hall, the wailing of police sirens approached as they took Wei Lei away. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Weixi knew that for Wei Lei, this was just the beginning
Is there really no way at all?
"It doesn't matter, congratulations are indeed in order." Song Zhaixing half-raised her head, tears rolling down her cheeks, "He is definitely going to propose to someone else. Congratulate me, I have just said goodbye to a scumbag."
Late autumn arrives unexpectedly, the wisteria in the hospital park has withered completely, while the crab-claw cactus and chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The golden autumn light overlaps in layers, the vast sky is as clear as washed, the reeds by the pond sway gently, and the shimmering water dances softly. The bustling hospital has finally returned to its former tranquil and serene state.
Lin Fan was momentarily taken aback, while Lin Guan instinctively raised her chin, her smile unwavering: "It has been a few years since we last met, and you are still as clever as ever"
Wei Lei's facial expression suddenly collapsed completely, twitching incessantly, "No... no... it can't... it is impossible..."
Li Weixi looked at the remote control in his hand, contemplating the dire consequences that would ensue once the explosive device it was connected to was activated. He slowly said to him: "You are such an excellent electrical maintenance technician; you should not give up on yourself"
Every day I dream of killing my boss
If you cry again, I will tear your mouth apart! Let the doctor check if there are any worms growing on you. Why do you love to move around so much during class!
Wu Cong pondered to himself, it seems that Yun Yuehua has followed his advice and reported to the hospital. However, he did not expect Fang Da to act so quickly, which left him quite surprised
Li Weixi looked up at the office not far away, which was already adorned with lights and decorations, and asked, "What is happening?"
No discoveries were made even in the remote corners
As he spoke, he took out his phone to show Li Weixi. The Facebook page was still open, and he pointed to the status updates and small actions posted by Si Yan, explaining to Li Weixi one by one: "Look at this one, Si Yan has already ordered roses; and this one, what a sincere declaration of love; and this one, this one, and this one, all indicate that he plans to propose to A Xing this afternoon"
Gao Can's response to Jian Yifan was concise and straightforward, with no other implications discernible. However, Jian Yifan became even more spirited: "I love spring, closely following winter!"
Li Weixi observed the close relationship between the two siblings and couldn't help but search his memory for the first time he met Lin Guan. Lin Guan was straightforward and candid, her personality completely different from that of Lin Fan. Despite coming from the same family background, he could not think of any reason that would have caused Lin Fan to become the person he was now
Are we really giving up like this? Yun Yuehua was quite surprised; she did not expect Li Weixi to make such a decision
Li Weixi appeared very casual in front of him, noticing his pupils slightly flicker, and then said: "If what I say next is correct, you will cooperate with me to play a game. There are two options for the game: draw a picture or answer five questions, you may choose either one."
Jian Yifan laughed heartily: "You may not know yet, but A Xing's boyfriend, who is far across the Atlantic, is going to propose to her!"
Li Weixi arrived simultaneously with Song Zhaixing and Jian Yifan. Seeing Guo Xiaohan's tear-streaked face, Song Zhaixing asked, "What happened?"
The office door suddenly opened
Then wait a moment
Is it possible that ... ...
Li Weixi stepped forward and took the remote control for the explosion from his hand. Wei Lei did not resist; his eyes were filled with tears. Li Weixi gently held his hand, urging him to look at him.
When Wei Lei walked into the hospital lobby, Li Weixi, who was chasing after him, was only a few steps away from him
Li Weixi looked at him with a clear gaze, "So you cannot bear to see him punished by your father, and would rather it be yourself who dies."
Gao Can and Jian Yifan had only met a few times, and being asked this by him, they were unsure of what scheme he was plotting.
Lin Fan was too astonished, causing the wound on his body to ache in response
He raised his head and discovered that the television in the corridor was broadcasting an interview with Li Weixi.
Is there basic information about Wei Lei
As Wu Conggang stepped out the door, he received a call from an unfamiliar number. He casually pressed the answer button, and a young woman's voice immediately came through.
I ... ... every ... ... day ... ...
Wei Lei's gaze flickered, and Li Weixi seized upon his fleeting moment of disappointment, picking up the item he had drawn and continuing, "This is a door, a door without a doorknob. You do not welcome others into your inner self; you place great importance on your privacy"
"Zhai Xing, let us break up."
Li Weixi immediately instructed the head of security: "Follow him secretly!"
"Infatuated." Fang Lin had just finished treating a patient when she saw Song Zhaixing looking ecstatic, "Hasn't it arrived yet?"
"Why expose this matter?" Lin Fan was somewhat angry, as he had always been preoccupied with issues concerning the media
Li Weixi pondered while glancing at the time on his phone, with less than four minutes remaining
Could you please introduce yourself
Li Weixi looked at her, startled. The first to react was the girl's scream.
When Li Weixi returned to the psychology department after finishing his work, it was already afternoon. At this moment, he rubbed his forehead, and the slender joints of his fingers showed a slight whiteness, revealing a hint of fatigue. Before he reached the door of the department, he saw Jian Yifan and Fang Lin approaching, laughing and carrying balloons and champagne.
The director said, there is none even in the morgue
Can you explain why you have been with your current girlfriend the longest?
In the corridor of the psychiatric department, the slender Guo Hongquan continuously scratched his back, muttering to himself as he walked down the stairs
Without waiting for Wang Ke to say more, Wu Cong immediately hung up the phone. He had declined such invitations many times before, showing not a trace of emotion on his face. The loud sounds of blessings and laughter from next door rose and fell in succession. Wu Cong smiled; although he did not wish to participate in the gathering of young people, he felt happy for Song Zhaixing, whom he admired the most, regarding her current relationship.
Song Zhaixing proposed this hypothesis, which surprised Jian Yifan somewhat; however, given Wei Lei's current condition, it seems that this hypothesis is the only one that makes sense.
Seeing that Hu Li was ignoring him, Guo Hongquan stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "We are in line..."
You are not inherently stuttering; in your childhood, you suffered abuse from your mother, which led to your stuttering due to fear. At the same time, you avoided crowds and preferred solitude. You exerted all your effort to gain your mother's attention and affection, but you have not succeeded in doing so until now
Song Zhaixing found it quite strange when Si Yan's straightforward and resolute voice came through, immediately causing the entire department to be taken aback
I still call you Little Xixi! My Little Xixi.
Li Weixi quietly watched the comments from Song Zhaixing's boyfriend on Facebook. Those seemingly chaotic words were all pointing to the same matter. Jian Yifan was not wrong; her boyfriend was indeed planning a grand proposal, with every detail filled with love. Although Song Zhaixing had learned about this news in advance, it did not hinder this heartfelt proposal, which was destined to be a memorable day for her
There is a fire, everyone run!
Li Weixi continued to ask: "There is one more question I would like to confirm. Compared to heterosexuality, do you feel a stronger attraction towards the same sex?"
A total of seven minutes and fifty-six seconds has passed
For several consecutive days, the psychology department staff dared not mention matters of love. Jian Yifan kept a close watch on everyone, and anyone who let slip even a word would be the first to face his wrath
"It was about three years ago," Lin Fan did not shy away from saying. "At that time, I had a girlfriend, but I also had quite a few buddies. After spending some time together, one of my friends mentioned that it could be quite interesting for men to be together. Out of curiosity, I began to explore same-sex relationships."
What color do you usually like
Li Weixi shook his head, "He came specifically to find me"
Li Weixi slowly took off the watch from his wrist and placed it between the two of them. The hands moved slowly across the surface of the watch as he glanced once more at the rectangle drawn by Wei Lei. Suddenly, he leaned forward to meet that pair of cold, piercing eyes
Li Weixi's gaze dimmed slightly as he raised his hand to check the time on his watch, with seven minutes and two seconds remaining
At the same time in the psychiatry department, Li Weixi is racing against the clock
Li Weixi was about to explain when the door to the ward was suddenly opened, and a tall girl with an exquisite appearance and beautifully dressed walked in
How about we play a game
Wen Jing leaned against Song Zhai Xing with Hu Li by her side and said with a smile: "Today, you are the main character, so just relax and wait for the call"
Tears fell to the ground with a soft patter, and Wei Lei trembled all over, completely falling apart.
In this world, there are many individuals like "Wei Lei" who have become extremely vicious due to despair and helplessness
Wei Lei smiled again, encouraging him to continue speaking
Hu Li naturally discerned the status of Dr. Song in the department and smiled, saying: "Dr. Song is so fortunate that everyone is concerned about her love life together."
Before Wei Lei could finish speaking, other patients in the department encountered a problem. Hu Li hurriedly turned around and went inside, no longer paying attention to Wei Lei, and did not hear what he said afterwards
Li Weixi did not respond to him, only looking up at the office door where Wei Lei was still waiting inside. He deliberately placed his watch in front of Wei Lei, making him feel the passage of time and—his own indifference.
The security captain was somewhat anxious and secretly asked him: "Are we just waiting here? I really want to go in and catch that kid!"
There are still thirty-one seconds left
The hospital has deactivated the fire alarm, as there was indeed no fire incident. The evacuated patients are gradually returning to their wards, and everyone expresses relief over the false alarm. Meanwhile, Song Zhaixing brings Jian Yifan to the security department, intending to retrieve the surveillance footage of Wei Lei from his time at the hospital
Song Zhaixing's entire heart sank infinitely, and everyone was thrown into a state of panic. Only the colorful flower tube that Hu Li was holding slipped from her grasp, emitting an extremely loud celebratory sound.
There is one minute left
"It is better for your father to be caught in the whirlpool than for you to suffer pain. The bigger the commotion, the safer your friends will be"
Wei Lei seemed to have taken an interest and nodded his head
In the psychology department, Wei Lei was quietly sitting in front of Li Weixi's desk, waiting for his arrival
Ayan, why are you not speaking
The gatekeeper continuously relayed messages to Chen Xiwan via the intercom, and there was no trace of Guo Hongquan in any place Chen Xiwan could think of, which caused him great concern
Director Wu, you must not ... ...
Over
Moreover, Song Zhaixing has taken to sleeping in the office, tirelessly writing papers day and night, seemingly determined to complete all the unfinished tasks from before before he will rest.
Jian Yifan laughed heartily, unable to conceal his pride and satisfaction: "Am I not extremely clever? Extremely intelligent? Extremely talented?"
Your name is Guo Hongquan, correct? Your son needs to complete an assessment form first to determine if he has any psychological disorders, so please do not worry
At least
Wei Lei smiled at him, the smile spreading from the corners of his mouth to his entire face, causing Li Weixi to feel a chill in his heart
Song Zhaixing nodded while lying on the desk, saying: "My heart is pounding, and I can't do anything."
Of course! A-Xing is usually too busy to have time for a relationship, and we can't wait for her to get married. Wenjing stepped forward to pull her along, saying as she walked outside, "It's about time, let's go, I'll take you to have a look."
At the entrance of the pediatric department, Jian Yifan stood by the porch, watching the busy Gao Can with a silly grin for most of the day
Li Weixi shook his head and said, "Guo Hongquan is in your car; we have found him."
The security captain has recently been quite troubled, adjusting the surveillance while grumbling: "Alas, the hospital has been truly unrestful lately"
Wen Jing saw that she was very understanding, and naturally felt happy that someone could assist her, her face blossoming with a smile
Song Zhaixing still wanted to fight for it, while Li Weixi took the opportunity to tug at her sleeve, hoping to reassure her, "Given Wei Lei's current state, he is unlikely to cooperate with us easily in the ink experiment. Moreover, he poses a significant danger; you should take the child and go downstairs as soon as possible."
The words such as "the son of the wealthy Lin Yuze in this city, Lin Fan, was saved by Li Weixi," "a doctor’s degree in psychology from Harvard, USA," and "solved hundreds of cases for the FBI" kept circulating in Wei Lei's mind. He shook his head and then walked into the psychological measurement room
Do nothing at all? Chen Xiwan glanced at the time; according to Wei Lei's request, there were still three minutes left. If Guo Hongquan could not be rescued within these three minutes, it was feared that no one would be able to turn the tide.
Lin Guan glanced at him and said with a hint of pride: "This is not your doctor; this is my boyfriend in America!"
Guo Hongquan was overjoyed and quickly shook his hand, saying, "This change of seasons is unbearable, it itches terribly. Thank you so much."
The twenty-two-year-old Hu Li responded with a sound and kindly took Wen Jing's hand: "I will trouble you from now on, sister."
Where is my good fortune? Where is my good fortune?
"Wei Lei is not looking for me; he is checking whether we have rescued Guo Hongquan," Li Weixi analyzed. "I will ignore him, creating a false impression that we have directly found Guo Hongquan and no longer need to ask him."
"Because the boss noticed you and even thanked you for your contributions, you chose not to kill him." Li Wei comforted, "You realized your psychological issues, which is why you came to the psychology department."
As he spoke, he ran down the stairs, and Fang Lin followed him to the consultation room. Li Weixi, feeling at a loss, took the champagne and stepped closer, standing at the office door where he saw Song Zhaixing surrounded by others, celebrating. Her phone was right beside her, just waiting for a call from Si Yan, and the entire department would witness the deep affection and everlasting bond between the two.
Wei Lei pretended to wander on the second and third floors, but in reality, he was constantly watching the hall. When would people pass through the hall? A spark went off in Song Zhaixing's mind, and she hurried to check the footage she had just retrieved. This was also what she could think of, the oversight from earlier.
We share similar interests and values, he listens to me well, and he is a very obedient person
I... I... I... have made an appointment." Wei Lei stammered as he spoke
The father and son were also present. Wei Lei frowned upon hearing Hu Li conversing with them
Hello? Ayan?
"Are you really a couple?" Lin Fan was still in shock, unable to regain his composure.
Let us go, and have the security personnel come over
Wei Lei!" Li Weixi saw Wei Lei take out the remote control for the bomb from his pocket and hurriedly stopped him, "I know where Guo Hongquan is, don't act recklessly.
Fang Lin gave him a light tap and said, "If you continue to be so arrogant, Gao Can will finish work soon. Hurry up and go surround and intercept him."
Quickly repair the circuit
Wen Jing pressed the external sound for Song Zhaixing, and under the gaze of the crowd, Song Zhaixing immediately transformed into a shy little girl. Fang Lin and Hu Li each held a colorful flower tube standing beside Song Zhaixing, and everyone held their breath in anticipation of Si Yan's cheesy yet devoted confession.
Ah, this lady, you have scratched my face all over!
Wei Lei is constantly wandering between the second and third floors, as if he is looking for you
Li Weixi emerged from the measurement room to meet with the security team, his eyes fixed on the time displayed on his phone, with only two minutes remaining
Realizing the seriousness of the issue, Song Zhaixing hurriedly inquired
With a loud "bang," the delicate plastic petals scattered all over Song Zhaixing's hair and neck, cool and causing her to shiver
Doo---
"Exactly, exactly," Jian Yifan quickly handed the champagne to Li Weixi, then opened his palm to show him, "I just received a bit of good fortune from A Xing, pursuing Gao Can will surely be a success!"
Do you have a problem, ma'am? Can the child's poor performance be solely blamed on the child?
Lin Fan thought for a moment, "I can't remember clearly; the earliest ones were all very brief, and the longest one is the current 'girlfriend'"
You will get better. Mental disorders are not that difficult to resolve; through psychotherapy, you can even address the issue of stuttering.
It is said that Gao Can is a cold-faced beauty, and the more Jian Yifan looks at her, the more she resembles that description, even her collarbone exudes an air of arrogance
The more one values something, the more important it becomes. Li Weixi pointed at the rectangle and struck it forcefully, saying, "Inside this, there is Guo Hongquan!"
Another dawn arrived, and Song Zhaixing, with eyes swollen like light bulbs, shouted out loud before immediately falling back into a deep sleep. Jian Yifan stood guard beside her, resolutely refusing to let anyone disturb her even when it was time to go to work
"Can I not be in a hurry!" Guo Hongquan held his phone, wishing he could leave this place immediately. "I have over a hundred employees waiting for me to arrive before the meeting can start. My son has also developed aphasia and hasn't spoken a word for half a month. Can you please take a look at him quickly!"
Do you prefer spring or autumn
"Then fill out a measurement form first." Hu Li directly threw the form to him, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
I did not hit her; it is this nurse who lacks perception. What does it have to do with her if I hit the child
The woman showed no signs of remorse, which only made Jian Yifan even angrier
Faced with such an awkward conversation, Gao Can's expression grew increasingly grim. The sound of the child's crying continued to echo in his ears, while the young woman's scolding became even more unrestrained.
Time is simply insufficient! The three individuals appeared extremely distressed, and in just a few minutes, it was impossible to fully understand someone like Wei Lei, let alone save Guo Hongquan
The office door is tightly closed. Time continues to pass relentlessly
The more that woman looked at the child, the angrier she became, and after saying this, she was about to hit his head. Gao Can instinctively blocked, and a resounding slap landed on his own face
Eight minutes does not mean that an explosion will occur in eight minutes; rather, it refers to the time required to repair the hospital's power system after you have sabotaged it. The fastest response from the hospital to fix the issue will take eight minutes. You are an experienced electrician, and by damaging the circuit and triggering the fire alarm, you aim to buy yourself some time
Lin Fan lowered his gaze, "He did not harm me; that day he was in a more serious condition than I was."
... ...
In the corridor, Guo Xiaohan bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, her nose twitching as she let out soft whimpers, tightly clutching the hem of Hu Li's clothing
Indeed
In the bustling corridor, no one knows who Guo Hongquan is, nor who Wei Lei is. They have registered and are quietly resting in the hallway, waiting for the doctor to call their number, anticipating when it will be their turn to enter.
Wei Lei is often overlooked in life, possessing a timid personality and a strong sense of inferiority, always seeking praise from others. He does not care about Guo Hongquan's life or death; attracting our attention is his true objective
Wei Lei nodded and said, "Guo... Guo is not a good boss"
In the early morning, Peking University Hospital has already entered winter, with a layer of white frost covering the grass. Passersby hurry along, while sunlight filters through the light mist, casting a slightly intoxicating golden glow on the Asparagus fern and Hibiscus mutabilis.
Hu Li pulled Guo Xiaohan into his arms, covering half of his face, trembling in fear: "Don't cry, your dad is coming soon, coming soon."
The sun outside shines even brighter, and a cluster of thousand-bird chrysanthemums is blooming just perfectly
"Are you saying that Wei Lei just wants to attract our attention?" Jian Yifan found it somewhat incomprehensible, "Why is he doing this?"
You are not in a good state right now, let me take care of it
As Director Wu left, Hu Li looked at the colorful ribbons filling the office and asked in confusion, "Sister Jing, why does the department look so festive? Is someone getting married?"
In the hospital lobby, Director Chen Xiwan personally took charge, standing on the third floor and observing every move of the hospital. He initially intended to evacuate all patients as soon as possible, but Li Weixi had just called him, instructing him not to take any action.
"Are you saying that your father usually speaks very gently?" It seemed different from what she had imagined, and Li Weixi furrowed her brow slightly
Although I am acquainted with your CEO, this matter has nothing to do with personal interests Wu Cong spoke bluntly, showing her no courtesy I merely recommended your medication out of compassion for the many patients struggling to access their treatments I hope you will refrain from calling me in the future
Li Weixi did not finish speaking, but he noticed the subtle changes in Wei Lei's facial expression. He seized this opportunity and continued, "You often wet the bed when you were a child, and there were a few times you went missing, deliberately observing your parents anxiously calling out for you. This gave you a sense of confidence; to attract others' attention, one must create some trouble"
Then one must first queue up for the assessment
Yun Yuehua and Wu Cong hurriedly arrived. Upon seeing Li Weixi's current state, Yun Yuehua expressed her concern, saying, "Should I go in and talk to him?"
