Chapter 271: Hospital Encounter

rguing with"Zhuo Yu'an laughed and said smoothly, "Who did Mrs. Zhu have an argument with Would you like your husband to help"Shu Tinglan used a car phone.Xiaoxin sat in the passenger seat, originally...Shu Tinglan had extensive contact with the psychiatric hospital in Senzhou. Her mother had stayed there for many years, making her quite experienced.

Seeing Zhang Jun's bewildered expression, she continued, "My mother also suffered from mental instability for many years after being traumatized. So I know quite a few good doctors and could give you some recommendations. At least it's an opportunity."

Seeing that she no longer talked about the case but instead communicated with him about their child's condition, Zhang Jun relaxed his guard a little and sighed.

“I've seen a lot of doctors over the years, but nothing has worked. My family is already broke.”

He's so young, he has to try everything. Now that we have time, I can take you to the hospital where my mother used to live.

Zhang Jun still shook his head, already disheartened and hopeless. He didn't want to be treated anymore. He just wanted to wait until he was close to death and no one was there to take care of his children, so he would take the children with him to die. That's how his life would end!

Shu Tinglan had a little understanding of mental illness, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

“This is my deduction. When your wife died, your child was five years old and witnessed the whole thing. He must have seen the real face of the killer. However, the police arrested an unrelated person named Xu Wei instead. Because he was young and terrified, he didn't recognize the killer, even if he had, no one would have believed him. But deep down, he knows he is wrong, that the real murderer is still at large. He lives in fear that the killer will come after him for revenge.”

"Of course, that's just my guess," she added.

If that's truly her deduction, there's a constant fear lurking in her heart. No matter how many doctors she sees or how much medicine she takes, it won't help.

Zhang Jun had never considered the problem from this angle. Hearing Shu Tinglan's words and combining them with some of his child's recent words and behaviors, it was very possible that this was the root of the problem.

They can't be blamed for this, after all, the court had ruled Xu Wei as the culprit back then. Who would have known another Wang would come out of nowhere

No matter what, I will never give up on my child's hope.

"Lawyer Shu, please wait a moment. I'll make arrangements at home and then take the children to the hospital."

He then turned and walked home, replacing the isolation bed pad under his wife, and taking his son with him and Lawyer Shu to the mental hospital.

If it weren't for the case, Shu Tinglan would never have set foot in this hospital again in her life. It held too much pain and regret for her. Just as she was going to the doctor's office in the outpatient department, she had tried her best to focus on the case, but the familiar smell and environment reminded her of her mother.

If Mom were still alive, even if she had to live in the hospital for the rest of her life.

"Miss Shu, long time no see." The attending physician remembered her when she arrived at the clinic and greeted her proactively.

"Hello." Shu Tinglan had already withdrawn her thoughts, afraid the doctor would ask about her mother's condition, so she hurriedly said that she brought a friend for a checkup today.

The attending physician gave her the green light, prioritizing her for examination.

Because it would involve Zhang Jun's family's privacy, she proactively went outside to wait. No matter how Zhang Jun's son's condition was, at least Zhang Jun was no longer so averse to her, which gave her a slight sigh of relief.

It had been over three years since I left Senzhou, but upon my return, everything felt just as familiar, as if I had never left at all. While waiting outside the clinic, I suddenly saw Zhuo Yu'an and his secretary, Cui Jie, walking towards me.

She was taken aback, thinking that the world was too small, even here she could run into him

Zhuo Yu'an was originally lowering his head to explain something to the technician in the research room beside him, but suddenly he saw Shu Tinglan sitting outside the outpatient clinic. He was taken aback and didn't expect to meet her here at all.

The hospital's surveillance system and drug traceability and distribution system were sponsored by him for free a few years ago. This time, he came to upgrade these systems. The technical department staff could have done it, but since he happened to be free and the hospital held special significance for him, he brought Ms. Cui along.

Never thought I would see Tinglan.

He asked Cui Jie to leave with her colleagues from the technical department first, and then walked up to Shu Tinglan himself and asked...

"How did you get here" he asked with a hint of worry, fearing she might have come to see him for an illness.

Shu Tinglan ignored him. Their brief encounter at the courthouse yesterday had made her anxious, an anxiety stemming from his strangeness or perhaps her lack of understanding of him.

She didn't know what he wanted. Three years had passed since their divorce, and in her heart, he was a stranger. But he suddenly appeared, and then forcefully barged into her life again. His gaze was the same as before, and his words and actions told her that nothing had changed. He spoke to her in an ordinary, calm tone, just like yesterday or today, as if he were saying, "The weather is nice today."

Oh, and he said that we're at least still friends.

She thought so much, but she never looked up at him.

Zuo Yu'an was originally standing, seeing that she didn't answer, he slightly crouched down to be at eye level with her.

"Are you feeling unwell"

Eye contact, naturally, brought a sense of pressure. Shu Tinglan had to look at him, seeing the gentleness in his expression mixed with a hint of worry made her feel even more ironic. She pointed towards the clinic and said:

“Accompany the person involved in the examination.”

Zuo Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. He had some understanding of the case that she was assigned to in Senzhou, and the biggest difficulty at present should be promoting the court to reopen the trial.

"Need a hand"

Look, you're still speaking to her in that same tone, paying extra attention to everything she does and wanting to help solve her problems. But then again, you ignored her for over three years before this. She just can't figure you out. Your intentions are as deep and mysterious as ever.

"Zuo Yu'an, what exactly do you want now If I'm not mistaken, we were divorced three years ago!"

Zuo Yu'an wanted to do so much, but he didn't know where to start.

I originally just wanted to care for her like a friend, but when I actually saw her, my desires became more intense. I want to have her and live the happy life we had before, so I want to win her back.

He couldn't say anything, for if he did, Ting Lan would run even farther away, out of his sight.

"Tinglan, even if we get divorced, we can still be friends."

At least start with friends, his attitude is sincere and that's his true feeling right now.

Shu Tinglan felt ironic. He disappeared for three years, and then suddenly came back out of the blue saying he wanted to be friends.

She sneered, "I have many friends. I don't need yours."

"I know, Tinglan, you've always been very popular."

This is a fact, whether in life or at work, she always encounters people who are good to her.

Shū Tīnglán was speechless for a moment. His calm demeanor, in contrast, made her seem like the one who couldn't let go of the past., the coach she asked was a young, handsome and well-mannered one, but it seems like the coach didn't really pay much attention to her either.She glared at Gu Ruandong, not because he had taken the co...
