On the way, Ji Qiuhan suddenly developed a high fever. Jiang Zhan carried him out of the car, while Wei Wei had already brought a few doctors, who were waiting at Rongtai.
After a series of examinations to confirm there were no external injuries, the needle for the IV was inserted into the young man's delicate veins, causing him to furrow his brows and let out a muffled groan while lying unconscious on the bed.
"Be gentle!"
Dr. Wei, who was scolded in a low voice, felt both wronged and helpless. He had to insert it gently, but he caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhan's expression and didn't dare to speak loudly anymore. "Yes, yes, yes, I understand..."
The tiniest trickle of blood on such pale skin stands out vividly. Wei Wei trembles with fear, meticulously taping the wound as if performing a delicate nerve stitching procedure.
The drip was adjusted to the right speed, and the tranquilizing medication began to take effect. The young man on the bed fell into a deep sleep, and Jiang Zhan made a hand gesture, turned off the lights, and they both left together.
......
Study, Yi Qian handed the investigation report, which was still warm in his hands, to Jiang Zhan.
"……Ji Ge's older half-sister, Ji Xia, was confirmed dead in the 5.23 case. Among the thirty-seven victims, Ji Ge was the only survivor, but he lost his sight for two years after being rescued. This is the case report and medical diagnosis from that year, later sponsored by Li Guoyi and his wife... !!"
Jiang Zhan clenched his hand holding the report tightly and kicked forward.
"How do you handle your work? You only just found out about such an important matter and tell me now?!"
In fact, at the very moment when Ji Qiuhan encountered an accident at night, his recent whereabouts were immediately presented to Jiang Zhan, down to the minute. However, Fang Bei was truly unaware of what exactly happened inside the detention center and Li Guoyi's home. Sensing that something was amiss, Jiang Zhan promptly ordered Yi Qian to carefully reexamine every detail of the person.
Sure! Here's the translation: "Sure enough, with just one look, those tiny two lines of marks caused Yi Qian's heart to skip a beat."
"Sorry, brother! Ji Ge's file has been tampered with. The initial investigation was due to my carelessness..."
The explanation was always equal to nonsense in Jiang Zhan's ears when he was filled with anger. Along the way, without changing his dress shoes, Jiang Zhan lifted his leg and gave a kick, instantly knocking someone over.
"Careless mistake? Fine, you want me to teach you again how to cure this problem, don't you?!"
"Not... me...!"
Yi Qian's face turned pale in an instant as he quickly got up from the ground and stood straight: "I know I was wrong, please punish me, Elder Brother!"
"Get down on your knees and wait for me to deal with you properly later!"
Yi Qian suddenly felt a piercing pain all over his body, prompting him to not hesitate even for a split second as he immediately knelt down on the familiar floor.
Wei Wei, who was forced to watch from the sidelines, felt sweat forming on his forehead. As he silently shed a sympathetic tear for his friend, he held the case file in his hands, afraid to miss even a single word as he read through it.
"Jiang-ge, most of the recent treatments on here are focused on gastrointestinal diseases. From 2002 to 2004, there were two years of hysterical blindness, which should be a psychological disorder caused by severe mental trauma. However... this type of illness is not really my expertise... specific details would still need to be analyzed at the hospital."
Wei Wei's voice became softer and she didn't hear the person respond. She could only stand quietly on the side, pretending to be a mushroom.
Jiang Zhan sat behind his desk, holding a report and reading with an inscrutable expression. Wei Mogu stood as if on pins and needles, sneakily casting a sidelong glance at another straight, kneeling mushroom by the wall. In his heart, a sudden sense of comfort arose, as if he himself were being treated fairly well.
Unfortunately, after a while, he tragically discovered:
Standing here is even more miserable!
(Translation may vary depending on the context)
As each page of the report was flipped through, the influential figure of the Jiang family in City A, who commanded respect from both sides of the law, could feel the pressure weighing down on him intensify at a terrifying speed, inch by inch.
