Chapter 321 Find a breakthrough
Furui Mental Hospital.
Rongyue and Nangong Yunyi entered the hospital. The hospital environment and facilities looked old but generally clean.
They made an appointment to visit later in the name of wanting to donate, so the dean came out to receive them in person. The dean was a very elderly woman, probably in her 50s, with a decent appearance and kind eyes.
The dean was accompanied by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s. He looked quite smart and had a name tag on his chest that read Song Xiang.
"How many patients are there here?" Rongyue asked as she looked around.
"There are a total of 204 patients in the hospital," the director replied.
"Then how many donors are there?" Rongyue continued to ask.
"There have been about five donors in total, most of whom made one-time donations, but... there is one person who donates every year."
"Donating money every year? That's really kind-hearted of you." Rongyue looked at the dean.
The dean nodded. "Yes, this person doesn't come to the hospital. He just transfers money directly to the hospital's donation account from time to time. Doing good deeds without leaving a name is rare in this day and age."
Rongyue smiled and said, "Can I see the patient?"
"Oh, sure. It's free time now. The patients are all in the garden behind the building." replied the dean.
"Is it convenient for you to be pregnant? Although the patients here are all healthy, their behaviors are rather abnormal. Don't be scared." Song Xiang looked at Rongyue.
It just so happened that Nangong Yunyi also had such concerns. "It would be best to find a place where we can see it. We just want to see what the conditions of the patients here are."
"Then let's go to the second floor of the hospital. We can overlook the garden, see everyone and it's safer." Song Xiang said and led the way.
The group came to a fence on the second floor, which overlooked the garden. Indeed, there were patients scattered around the garden, most of them wandering around slowly. Some of them seemed to be talking to the air... They all looked abnormal.
Rongyue looked at these people carefully and said, "There are not enough 200 patients here."
“Well, some of the critically ill patients are aggressive and are kept in solitary confinement, making it unsuitable for them to move freely,” the dean replied.
"I want to go see the critically ill patients." Rongyue looked at the dean.
"Critically ill patients are somewhat dangerous." Song Xiang said this before the dean could speak.
"It doesn't matter. Didn't the dean say that they are all under solitary custody?" Rongyue still looked at the dean with persistence.
The dean nodded and said, "This way, please. I'll show you around."
Arriving at the third floor of the hospital, there is a long corridor with rooms on both sides. Each room is reinforced with an iron door. The whole corridor looks very gloomy even in the daytime, especially the occasional shouting and the sound of banging on the door, which adds to the weird atmosphere.
Rongyue took a general look at the situation in the room through the window on the door.
"You two must be tired after visiting for such a long time. Let's go to the dean's office and have a rest." The dean led the way kindly.
Rongyue was a little confused and disappointed. Apart from feeling that Song Xiang seemed a bit out of place in this hospital, she basically didn't get anything else she wanted.
The group rested in the dean's office and talked about donations. They were all the standard words that Rongyue and Nangong Yunyi had prepared in advance. However, Rongyue really wanted to donate because it was her only way to stay in touch with the hospital.
After the conversation, Song Xiang escorted Rongyue and Nangong Yunyi out of the dean's office.
"Director Song, how many years have you been working in this hospital?" Nangong Yunyi looked at Song Xiang.
"It's been more than ten years. I have been working here since I graduated," Song Xiang replied.
"Then you must be a person with ideals." Nangong Yunyi looked at Song Xiang. "It's rare to find a doctor who doesn't pursue fame or profit."
Song Xiang smiled and said, "I just think the relationships here are simple, and I can use what I've learned. That's enough."
When Rongyue heard Nangong Yunyi's question, she knew that he had also noticed Song Xiang's abnormality. She was still observing Song Xiang's expression when she was suddenly pulled by the arm into the next room.
It was not until the door slammed shut and Rongyue was pushed against the door with her mouth covered that she could see the person in front of her clearly: a young woman with a thin face and a nervous expression.
There were constant knocks and shouts coming from behind the door.
"Don't bang on the door, or I'll kill her!" The woman shouted and threw the white iron plate and the medical supplies inside to the ground, making a loud noise.
The doorway was silent for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, I don't want to hurt you. I know who you are! Your name is Nangong Rongyue! My name is Huang Yihan, and I'm in the same school and department as you, but I'm two years behind you! It was Liu Fengyi who locked me up here! I'm not sick! I have evidence of him abusing women, including yours! Do you understand?"
Huang Yihan's voice was shaking but he spoke very clearly.
Rongyue nodded.
Huang Yihan loosened his grip slightly and said, "I can't stay with you for too long. After what happened today, I'm afraid I won't live long! I want to get out! Help me! I'll give you what you want when I get out."
Rongyue nodded.
"Don't trust Song Xiang, he's Liu Fengyi's man."
After Rongyue nodded, Huang Yihan loosened his hand and let go of Rongyue completely.
"You go out by yourself. If you investigate, I will know that what I said is true. I am not sick." Huang Yihan took a few steps back and looked at Rongyue.
Rongyue then realized that this thin woman was shaking like a sieve, but her eyes were clear and firm.
The moment Rongyue turned around and opened the door, Nangong Yunyi pulled her out and held her in his arms.
Rongyue saw several people rushing into the room, and then heard Huang Yihan screaming and laughing wildly. Then the sound of electric shock rang out, and soon after, Huang Yihan was tied to a mobile bed and pushed out.
Huang Yihan was tied tightly to the mobile bed with special straps, with only her eyes wide open. When she was pushed out, her eyes were always looking for Rongyue. The moment she saw Rongyue, her eyes were filled with fear, helplessness and strong pleading.
"Rongyue!" Nangong Yunyi gently patted Rongyue's face, because he found that Rongyue was trembling slightly, but her eyes were always looking at Huang Yihan.
Rongyue regained consciousness and within a few minutes, Huang Yihan was wheeled away, as if nothing had happened. Rongyue felt a little dizzy, because she briefly put herself in the shoes of someone locked up in a mental hospital... She suddenly felt suffocated...
"Rongyue!" Nangong Yunyi saw Rongyue's condition. She was becoming more and more nervous, and her breathing was disordered.
Rongyue did begin to feel difficulty breathing, but her body became more and more tense uncontrollably. This situation had happened before, and she remembered how Li Xin had helped her at that time. She tried her best to calm herself down.
Nangong Yunyi asked Rongyue to sit down. Seeing that she was having difficulty breathing, he asked everyone who came to show concern to leave.
"Adjust your breathing, Rongyue, and relax." Nangong Yunyi used his spiritual power to soothe Rongyue's spiritual power at the same time.
Rongyue suddenly felt a warm current gradually washing away the coldness in her body, and there seemed to be a fragrance of pine wood surrounding her, making her feel very comfortable.
Nangong Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Rongyue's breathing rhythm gradually stabilize.
"It's okay! Don't be nervous." After confirming that Rongyue's breathing was fine, Nangong Yunyi roughly checked Rongyue. He was completely relieved after seeing that she had no external injuries and no other signs of discomfort.
"Are you really okay?" After the dean arrived, he kept looking at Rongyue nervously with a concerned expression.
There are other doctors who are also concerned about Rongyue.
As Rongyue regained consciousness, she adjusted herself and said, "It's okay. I'm okay. She didn't hurt me. It's okay."
"That's good, that's good." The dean looked at Rongyue. "The doctor was treating her just now. I don't know how she managed to sneak out. I'm so sorry!"
Rongyue shook her head, stood up and looked at Song Xiang. "Why is this girl here? She just said she wanted to paint and asked me to take her there. I agreed and she let me out."
Song Xiang seemed relieved when he heard Rongyue's words, and his expression was not as tense anymore. "She was sent here by her family. She was very irritable when she came, but she can draw."
Rongyue nodded, and after confirming that she had dispelled Song Xiang's doubts, she and Nangong Yunyi left the hospital.
"Help me check on the girl just now." Rongyue told Nangong Yunyi all the information she got.
"You had to come here just for someone whose existence is uncertain? What if she really is sick and attacked you just now? Do you know how dangerous that would be?!"
Rongyue heard the anger in Nangong Yunyi's tone. She looked at Nangong Yunyi and wanted to explain, but everything that happened just now had a great impact on her, not physically, but mentally. She seemed to have lost all her energy for a moment and didn't even want to say a word. She needed time to adjust her state.
Nangong Yunyi saw Rongyue looked at him and finally turned away without saying anything and continued to look out the window. Only then did he realize that the tone of his words just now was very harsh.
"I don't mean to blame you, but if something happens to you, I can't explain to others... and I can't..." Nangong Yunyi swallowed the words "explain to myself".
After that, the two fell into silence.
The two of them arrived at Rongyue's studio and saw a room full of people as soon as they opened the door. It was rare for her to have so many people here.
"Sister Rongyue! You're finally here! We've been waiting for you for a while!"
Rongyue identified the girl who was walking towards her while talking. It was Nan Muchen. She smiled and strode to Rongyue's side.
"Brother Yun Yi!" Nan Muchen's eyes brightened when he looked at Nangong Yun Yi.
Rongyue looked over Nan Muchen at the other people in the room. Mo Chen was sitting on the sofa looking at the laptop on his lap. When Rongyue came in, he looked up at Rongyue.
Assistant Dong, who was sitting not far from Mo Chen, stood up when he saw Rong Yue and said respectfully, "Young Madam."
Rongyue nodded to Assistant Dong.
Assistant Dong glanced at the person on the other side of the sofa and then sat down.
Rongyue followed Assistant Dong's gaze and saw Nan Shitong. She was sitting on the side of the sofa. When she saw Rongyue coming over, she also stood up and said, "Sister Rongyue."
Rongyue nodded, walked to Mo Chen and sat down. Then she turned to look at Li Xin who was standing in front of her painting.
Li Xin smiled at Rongyue and continued to stroll around and look at Rongyue's paintings.
Nan Muchen and Nangong Yunyi also sat down.
"Why... are you here together?" Rongyue glanced at Mo Chen.
Before Mo Chen could say anything, Rong Yue's attention was drawn away by Nan Shitong's voice.
"It's just a coincidence. Mu Chen and I wanted to come visit your place, and we ran into Mr. Gong and the others." Nan Shitong looked at Rongyue. "Sister Rongyue, I don't know what you and Brother Yun Yi are doing! Neither of you answered the phone! We can only wait here."
Rongyue took out her cell phone and took a look. There were indeed several missed calls. However, she had turned her phone to silent mode when she entered the dean's office, and a series of things happened when she came out, so she forgot to turn it back on.
Nangong Yunyi knew that they had called him. He didn't want to answer their call, but he didn't know that they had come to Rongyue.
"My phone was on silent, so I didn't hear your call." Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and explained.
"It's okay." Mo Chen curled his lips and continued to look down at his computer.
Rongyue turned to look at Nan Shitong and found that her eyes were on Mo Chen, while Nan Muchen's eyes were on Nangong Yunyi.
"Have you visited it?" Rongyue looked at Nan Shitong.
Nan Shitong and Nan Muchen's attention was drawn back by Rongyue, and both of them nodded.
"Sister Rongyue, the paintings in your exhibition hall are so beautiful! How do you get all these inspirations? And the works in this studio are really amazing! Can you teach me?"
Rongyue looked at Nan Muchen's excited expression. She inexplicably felt that this girl was a little too cute for her age.
"I'm not very good at teaching others, but you can come here often and draw here."
After hearing Rongyue's words, Nan Muchen was obviously stunned for two seconds and then said, "I will move here tomorrow! Thank you, Sister Rongyue!"
"Then I want to come too!"
Nan Muchen looked at Nan Shitong who was speaking. "Why are you here? You can't draw."
Nan Shitong looked at Nan Muchen and said, "If I don't paint, I can do an internship. Sister Rongyue has a company downstairs, haven't you seen it? You can't see anything else except painting! Besides, you come to see Sister Rongyue every day, what should I do!"
Nan Muchen reacted and said, "That's right, I came here to paint, and there's no one to accompany you... then..." Nan Muchen looked at Rongyue.
"Rongyue likes quietness. It's not appropriate for you all to come here. Mu Chen, just send your work to Rongyue." After Nangong Yunyi finished speaking, he frowned and looked at Nan Shitong.
After hearing Nangong Yunyi's words, Nan Muchen's eyes instantly darkened and her little mouth almost pouted.
"Brother Yunyi, don't you always come to Sister Rongyue's place? Why don't you let us come? Besides, we're here to do some serious work! I haven't found a place to do an internship yet! It's just right for me to come to Sister Rongyue's place, so Muchen and I can have some company! The best of both worlds!"
Rongyue looked at the way Nan Shitong kept looking at Mo Chen, and knew that her purpose in coming to her was not what she said.
"Why do you want to intern at a design company? You have several companies in your family, but they are not enough for you to intern?" Nangong Yunyi's tone was stern.
"What can I learn if I join my own company?" Nan Shitong was also unhappy, and her tone changed from coquettish to angry.
Rongyue was a little confused. She sighed and was about to speak.
“Indeed, you can’t learn much in your own company.”
Rongyue turned to look at Mo Chen who suddenly spoke.
Mo Chen closed the laptop on his lap and looked at Nan Shitong. "But there's nothing much to learn in a design company. Why don't you come to Gongyi Group for an internship?"
