Chapter 239 It’s not swimming, it’s self-punishment
In the lobby of Renxin Hospital, the originally quiet and orderly atmosphere was suddenly broken by a commotion. A group of medical staff rushed out with nervous faces, pushing medical beds.
The wheels of the medical bed rolled rapidly on the smooth ground, making a rapid and harsh sound, as if shouting for the safety of the person on the bed.
The people around helped in a rush and lifted Jiang Chengyu onto the medical bed, then rushed towards the VIP ward floor.
Everyone filed out of the elevator and headed straight for Ward 802. Cui Jiani was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She rushed into the ward in a panic and rushed to the air-conditioning controller. She quickly pressed the button, causing the temperature to rise rapidly to 30 degrees Celsius.
At this time, Liang Boyu's face turned red and his eyes were almost spitting fire. He was struggling with the combination lock on the chain.
The chains looked cold and hard, like ruthless shackles that locked Jiang Chengyu's life.
Liang Boyu pulled hard and shouted angrily, "Who designed this chain? It can't be opened!" His voice echoed in the ward, full of anxiety and helplessness.
Cui Jiani rushed over and fiddled with the combination lock on the collar around Jiang Chengyu's neck for a long time, but the combination lock seemed to be deliberately against her and did not move at all.
At the same time, two nurses were unlocking the combination lock on Jiang Chengyu's handcuffs. Their brows were knitted tightly together and they said bitterly, "Director, what should we do? We can't open it!"
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every passing second was like the swing of the Grim Reaper's scythe, ruthlessly threatening Jiang Chengyu's life.
Cui Jiani suddenly seemed to have thought of something, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she said loudly: "You keep him warm and reduce his fever, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she rushed out of the ward like an arrow. The hurried footsteps gradually faded away in the corridor, and finally she went straight to Ward 801.
In Ward 801, Mu Xiaoji was coughing weakly, and the cough sounded particularly heartbreaking in the silent room.
Hearing the door being pushed open hastily, he struggled to get up, his eyes full of worry and expectation, and asked anxiously: "How is he?"
Cui Jiani was now furious, her eyes burning with anger. She asked loudly, "What's wrong with the chains on him?"
Mu Xiaoji had a helpless look on his face, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He slowly said, "He designed it for himself in the mountain-falling machine, saying that he would use it to apologize to me after returning home."
"Mu Xiaoji, tell me, what did he do wrong?" Cui Jiani's voice trembled slightly, and her eyes showed both heartache for Jiang Chengyu and anger at this inexplicable situation.
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, his eyes became dull, as if he was lost in deep memories. It seemed that the story in those memories could not be explained in thousands of words. He just said nothing, with a bitter face.
Cui Jiani could no longer control her emotions. Tears burst out uncontrollably like a flood. She asked tearfully:
"What's the password? Do you know? He's already frozen and his life is hanging by a thread. It's still unknown whether he can be saved. We can't let him keep wearing the chain to receive treatment!
Do you really want him to live with a lifetime of guilt?" Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mu Xiaoji's heart hard.
Mu Xiaoji was silent for a long time, as if coming back to his senses from endless contemplation, and said slowly: "Try my WeChat account."
When Cui Jiani heard this, she was stunned at first, then turned around and hurriedly left Ward 801 without saying a word.
Only Mu Xiaoji was left sitting there quietly, with empty eyes, as if he was reflecting on the past. All the little details related to Jiang Chengyu kept playing in his mind like a movie.
The early morning sunlight shone through the hospital windows onto the corridor, but the tense atmosphere did not dissipate at all because of the sunlight.
Until nine o'clock in the morning, this floor of the hospital was still bustling with people coming and going. Everyone was busy going in and out, and everyone's face was full of solemnity. The whole space was shrouded in the tense atmosphere of treating Jiang Chengyu.
Cui Jiani was outside the ward, pacing back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of worry, and from time to time she looked closely at the closed door of Ward 802, as if her eyes could penetrate the door and see what was going on inside.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that someone would come out in the next second and tell her that Jiang Chengyu had woken up.
At this moment, Bai Jinrong and President Bai appeared at the elevator entrance. Bai Jinrong was holding a bunch of gorgeous flowers, while President Bai was carrying various expensive supplements.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they were attracted by the scene in front of them. Cui Jiani was absent-mindedly walking back and forth not far away. Her lost look was completely different from the usual calm and capable image of the dean.
Moreover, there were medical staff moving around Ward 802 with nervous looks on their faces. Their hurried footsteps and serious expressions made people feel uneasy.
Bai Jinrong felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness in her heart. She couldn't help but mutter to her father beside her: "What's going on over there?"
President Bai also noticed that, and frowned slightly with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "President Cui? Let's go over and take a look."
Bai Jinrong was not as lively as usual this time. She was unusually quiet. She followed her father and walked quickly towards Cui Jiani.
President Bai asked politely: "Director Cui, what's going on? You look so worried, this..." As he spoke, he pointed to Ward 802 and asked.
Cui Jiani came back to her senses after hearing the voice. She looked at President Bai, forced a polite smile, and said, "Hello, President Bai, this... this is Jiang Chengyu, he is being rescued!"
When President Bai and Bai Jinrong heard the news, they were instantly surprised. "Jiang Chengyu?"
Bai Jinrong's expression became more serious, and she asked hurriedly, "He was fine when I saw him yesterday, what happened?"
Cui Jiani's tone was very heavy, and she said slowly: "When I got home, he had already frozen to death in the swimming pool."
President Bai looked puzzled and murmured, "Swimming pool?"
When Bai Jinrong heard this, she immediately said angrily, "Is he crazy? Why is he swimming in such a cold weather?"
At this moment, Mu Xiaoji's frail figure appeared behind everyone. His body looked a little shaky, but he still tried to correct himself:
"It's not swimming, it's self-punishment."
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake. When Bai Jinrong, President Bai and Cui Jiani heard the sound, they all looked at Mu Xiaoji from behind.
Bai Jinrong threw away the flowers in her hand like a barrel of explosives that had been lit. She took a step forward, grabbed Mu Xiaoji by the collar, and shouted, "It must be you who did this."
Mu Xiaoji started coughing because of this sudden action. He said weakly, "Yes, humph, I threw him in. I thought he was dirty and told him not to come back until he was clean. Little monster, he has always been honest and obedient."
When Bai Jinrong heard this, her eyes were filled with anger. She pushed Mu Xiaoji down fiercely and cursed: "Mu Xiaoji, you are a bastard."
Seeing this, Cui Jiani quickly reached out to support Mu Xiaoji who was about to fall, then turned back to Bai Jinrong and scolded, "Miss Bai, this is a hospital, please be quiet. Jiang Chengyu is like this, Mu Xiaoji is more upset than anyone else, please don't add fuel to the fire here, okay."
Bai Jinrong said with a funny look on her face: "Him? Sad? That's really funny. He was the one who knocked Jiang Chengyu to the ground with a slap, and he didn't show any mercy. I don't feel sad!"
Cui Jiani asked angrily: "How do you know about the two of them?"
Bai Jinrong said confidently: "He came home yesterday at noon and saw the two of us in the bedroom, so he beat Jiang Chengyu."
After hearing this, Cui Jiani understood the general situation. She glared at Bai Jinrong and said, "So you are the one who caused all this. Miss Bai, if anything happens to Jiang Chengyu, I will never forgive you."
Bai Jinrong felt puzzled and said loudly: "What does his problem have to do with you? It's really incomprehensible."
Cui Jiani ignored her and supported Mu Xiaoji as they walked towards Ward 802.
President Bai stood there, bewildered, as if he was completely confused. He was speechless for a moment and said, "This..."
Bai Jinrong was stunned for a moment, then followed them closely and prepared to rush into the ward, but was scolded by Mu Xiaoji's deep and rich voice: "Get out."
Bai Jinrong had never been treated like this before. For the first time, she felt as if she had suffered a great injustice. Her eyes suddenly turned red and tears immediately flowed out like beads from a broken string.
Seeing this, President Bai walked over and gently pulled Bai Jinrong towards Ward 812 where Grandpa was. As they walked, he softly asked, "Rong'er, what did you do yesterday?"
Bai Jinrong walked into the ward, sat down on the sofa, and cried aggrievedly, "I like Jiang Chengyu, and I want to pursue him. What's wrong with me pursuing him? Why does that Mu Xiaoji interfere and meddle in other people's business?"
After hearing this, President Bai sighed softly and asked softly, "Have you asked Mr. Jiang if he likes you? Does he already have a family?"
Bai Jinrong raised her head stubbornly and said, "I haven't asked, but have you ever seen him traveling with any female companions?"
President Bai shook his head and said, "That's not the case, but few men would like your bold and straightforward approach. Try another approach, like Dean Cui, where you can control your actions and have a good balance between tension and relaxation."
Bai Jinrong listened to her father's words, tears of grievance kept running down her cheeks. President Bai reached out his hand and gently wiped his daughter's tears with a distressed look.
