Chapter 23 He is beyond cure, and you are his only salvation.
Qiao Yiran looked up in surprise, then hurriedly shook her head, "Brother Min, thank you, but you can't help me. You probably don't know how much money I owe. My mother's medical expenses were also paid by Wei Xifeng. I can leave Wei Xifeng, I can disobey Wei Xifeng, but what about my mother? I can't be so selfish, I can't do it."
“I’ll pay your mother’s medical bills, and I’ll pay back whatever you owe. I’ve saved up some money over the years.” Min Baixuan looked at Qiao Yiran firmly.
Qiao Yiran's eyes widened, too moved to speak, but then she shook her head, "You've already helped me so much, I don't know how to repay you, how can I take your money again?"
Min Boxuan: "I did it voluntarily."
Qiao Yiran continued to shake her head, "No, I already owe Wei Xifeng money, how can I shamelessly owe you money? The money I owe is not just my mother's medical expenses, it's much more than you can imagine."
"No matter how much money you owe, we can face it together. I don't want to see you in so much pain and so tired. Yi Ran, let me take care of you. Let me be your pillar of support." Min Baixuan tenderly stroked Qiao Yi Ran's face and confessed his love.
Qiao Yiran's heart raced with nervousness, unsure whether it was out of fear of being seen or because she was momentarily moved by the sincerity of Min Baixuan.
“I’m sorry, Brother Min, I can’t accept you. You’re a very good person, but you can’t accept Wei Xifeng. That madman, that devil, is capable of anything. He really wanted to cripple your hands just now. I don’t want you to be targeted by him because of me. I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if that happened.”
Min Baixuan's slender fingers twitched, and his finger bones inexplicably began to ache. He didn't really know Wei Xifeng well, but he was well aware of Wei Xifeng's immense power.
If he were to face Wei Xifeng, he would be digging his own grave and courting death. A deep sense of dread flashed in Min Baixuan's eyes.
……
Before coming, Jiang Liwu had already briefly explained Wei Xifeng's symptoms to the doctor on her phone.
After arriving, the doctor examined me for only a few minutes before requesting to speak with me privately.
After instructing Wei Xifeng to listen to the doctor, Jiang Liwu left.
About half an hour later, the sound of something being violently hit and thrown to the ground was heard from inside the room. Immediately afterwards, the doctor rushed out in a panic, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Liwu's brow twitched, and she steadied the doctor who nearly slipped and fell. "What's wrong?"
Before the doctor could say anything while pointing inside, Jiang Liwu hurriedly let go of the doctor and ran inside.
There was a mess on the ground, and Wei Xifeng was fixed in place with his limbs and locked firmly to the recliner.
Wei Xifeng's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were bared, and he let out a beastly howl and roar. He struggled like a trapped animal, and even the metal locks showed signs of loosening.
There is no doubt that Wei Xifeng has fallen ill.
"Xiao Feng." Jiang Liwu quickly came to Wei Xifeng's side. She frowned at the doctor's action of locking Wei Xifeng up, and her sharp, deep gaze swept over the doctor. "What did you do?"
Jiang Liwu knew the strangeness of Wei Xifeng's illness after just one glance.
The doctor quickly said, "Ms. Jiang, you told me before that Mr. Wei's abnormal animalistic behavior when he had an attack. So, with Mr. Wei's consent, I locked him up and conducted a hypnotic test to induce his condition. After Mr. Wei had an attack, I couldn't calm him down, so I thought of you."
After speaking, the doctor took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Jiang Liwu: "Let him go."
The doctor didn't dare go over, and pointed to a hidden button on the seat. "Just press that button." After saying that, the doctor stepped back to a safe distance, nervously swallowing.
Without hesitation, Jiang Liwu pressed the button. The moment she gained her freedom, Wei Xifeng roared and lunged at Jiang Liwu's neck.
The doctor was so frightened that he wanted to ring the security bell, but he soon saw Wei Xifeng suddenly stop, his sharp canine teeth only a centimeter away from Jiang Liwu's flesh.
Jiang Liwu remained calm and composed, gently stroking Wei Xifeng's back to soothe him, saying, "It's alright."
Wei Xifeng's scarlet eyes rolled, and the red flesh on the whites of his eyes visibly began to fade, as his rationality gradually returned.
He closed his wide-open mouth and then rested his forehead on Jiang Liwu's shoulder. "Teacher, I will never hurt you."
Jiang Liwu smiled and said, "Yes, I know. Our Xiaofeng is great."
Seeing that the crisis had passed, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "Ms. Jiang, I need to talk to you alone some more."
Jiang Liwu nodded, "Okay."
This time, it was Wei Xifeng's turn to go out. The door had a switchable design with a glass window and a partition. Pulling down the partition allowed a glimpse of part of the interior through the transparent glass. Wei Xifeng waited eagerly outside, and Jiang Liwu smiled at him.
"Mr. Wei's condition is beyond medical help," the doctor said bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liwu's heart sank.
The doctor continued, "But you are an exception, Miss Jiang. I see a turning point in your case."
“You must be an important and indispensable part of Mr. Wei’s life. He relies on and trusts you enough to open his heart to you, which is why you were able to easily awaken his rationality and soothe his illness.”
“And every time you comfort him, his condition will improve to some extent. Over time, perhaps one day he can be completely cured.”
Jiang Liwu listened attentively as the doctor continued, "As for Mr. Wei's animalistic behavior when he fell ill, it's because he experienced or witnessed violence during his childhood, and he was too weak, which left deep trauma. Deep down, he developed a desire to become stronger."
"He would constantly give himself psychological suggestions, imagining himself as a powerful beast with the strength of a beast, so that others could not hurt him."
Jiang Liwu clenched her back teeth, her face tensed, and her breath trembled. So that's how it is.
Jiang Liwu recalled the scenes she witnessed twenty years ago when she traveled back in time. Wei's father was furiously criticizing Chaoxiong for his violent tendencies, showing no mercy to Wei's mother who wanted to escape him. He even became morbidly obsessed with Wei's mother's battered and bruised appearance, and would habitually attack her even when she complied with him.
Wei's mother was in unbearable pain and powerless to resist Wei's father. In the end, she became a second Wei's father, physically abusing the young Wei Xifeng.
She was convinced that Wei Xifeng was a born evil seed, a demon, and would grow up to be just like his father, so she wanted to destroy him while he was still young.
Jiang Liwu closed her eyes. She had always sympathized with Wei's mother's plight. She didn't think Wei's mother had done anything wrong, but she was by no means innocent either.
“Ms. Jiang, Mr. Wei has a severe case of schizophrenia, so I’ve determined that when he has an episode, he splits into different yet powerful and bloodthirsty beasts, such as: tigers, lions, cheetahs, anacondas, wolves, bears…”
