Du Jiaojiao heard someone call her name and quickly looked up. Instantly, tears that she could no longer hold back streamed down her face.
"Big class monitor!" The helpless Du Jiaojiao felt as if she had found her own kin.
Standing at the entrance of the outpatient hall was none other than Chen Fan, who had just finished his rounds.
Chen Fan glanced at the middle-aged man standing not far behind Du Jiaojiao, and then at the middle-aged woman who had collapsed on the ground. His brows furrowed slightly.
"What happened?" Chen Fan stepped forward, examined the middle-aged woman's condition, and asked.
Du Jiaojiao recounted what had happened earlier.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's gaze shifted to the middle-aged man.
However, the middle-aged man's face was still full of mockery and smugness, showing no regard for Chen Fan.
"Class monitor, is my mother alright?" Du Jiaojiao anxiously asked Chen Fan.
"Her qi and blood have been agitated, but for now, there's no major harm," Chen Fan said, taking out a few silver needles and inserting them into several acupoints on the middle-aged woman.
As the last needle was placed, the middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief, her complexion improved slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
However, when the middle-aged woman opened her eyes and saw the anxious Du Jiaojiao, her expression changed again, and she tried to push Du Jiaojiao away.
Chen Fan suddenly spoke, "Auntie, please don't move, your silver needles haven't been removed yet."
The middle-aged woman froze, then noticed Chen Fan beside her. "Who are you?"
Chen Fan replied, "Auntie, I am a doctor here, and also Du Jiaojiao's university classmate. My name is Chen Fan."
"You're Jiaojiao's university classmate?" The middle-aged woman was somewhat taken aback.
However, her face then turned angry as she looked at Du Jiaojiao. "Look at your classmate, doing internships as a doctor, and you? What have you been doing? A girl like you, doing such things. From now on, I don't have a daughter like you!"
Du Jiaojiao wanted to explain, but she knew her explanations would be useless. She could only look to Chen Fan for help.
Chen Fan naturally understood Du Jiaojiao's plea and said, "Auntie, you've misunderstood Du Jiaojiao. She didn't do those things at all. I can vouch for that."
"You can vouch? But, but he just said..." The middle-aged woman pointed at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Fan mockingly. He had solid evidence, photos, and even several drinking videos. He was curious to see how Chen Fan could possibly help Du Jiaojiao clear her name.
Before the middle-aged woman could finish, Chen Fan pointed at the middle-aged man with a look of shock. "Auntie, you didn't just hear him, did you?"
The middle-aged woman's expression faltered, and she nodded. "Yes, yes, I heard him."
Chen Fan slapped his forehead with a helpless expression. "Auntie, how could you believe his words?"
The middle-aged woman looked at the middle-aged man in confusion.
The middle-aged man sneered, "Director Chen, what do you mean by that? Why can't my words be believed? I have photos, and if this elder sister still doesn't believe me, I have videos of her accompanying people for drinks last night."
The middle-aged woman looked down in shame, turning away from her daughter.
"Shut up! It seems you won't be doing your analysis report today. Based on your symptoms, you don't meet the criteria for discharge," Chen Fan reprimanded, pointing at the middle-aged man.
Chen Fan's words stunned everyone present.
The middle-aged man also looked at Chen Fan with confusion. Symptoms? Discharge? What did that mean?
Chen Fan explained to the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, you might not know, but he is a severely ill patient in our psychiatric hospital."
*Pfft!*
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The middle-aged woman looked incredulous, and Du Jiaojiao lightly covered her mouth, her face full of shock.
"Nonsense! Chen Fan, when did I become a severely ill patient in your psychiatric hospital? Stop talking nonsense! I'm telling you, I can sue you for talking nonsense!" The middle-aged man was furious.
The middle-aged woman asked Chen Fan doubtfully, "Young man, is he really mentally ill?"
The middle-aged man glared. "Elder sister, are you blind? Look carefully, do I look like a mentally ill person?!"
Seeing the middle-aged man's outburst, Chen Fan pointed at him and said, "See? Mentally ill people generally don't allow others to say they are mentally ill, otherwise, they will exhibit this kind of violent tendency."
The middle-aged man glared at Chen Fan.
The middle-aged woman asked, "Then what about that photo he showed earlier?"
The middle-aged man sneered, "That's right, Chen Fan. Yesterday, I took photos and videos of her working as a hostess and drinking. Now you have nothing to say, right?"
Chen Fan's lips curled up as he explained, "Auntie, it's like this. He secretly ran out of the hospital yesterday. I was afraid he might harm the bar patrons, so I asked Jiaojiao to help get him drunk, and then brought him back to the hospital. But I didn't expect him to be so vindictive and take videos and photos to frame Jiaojiao."
The middle-aged woman looked at Chen Fan skeptically. "Are you telling the truth?"
Actually, she didn't quite believe what Chen Fan was saying.
The middle-aged man said coldly, "How could it be true? Listen to him spouting nonsense, I'm perfectly fine, very healthy."
Chen Fan asked playfully, "Is that so?"
Then he stood up and walked towards the middle-aged man.
Remembering what happened to Peng Wenjun's wrist last night, the middle-aged man quickly backed away, then pointed at Chen Fan and asked warily, "Chen Fan, what do you want? I'm telling you, if you dare to touch me, I'll sue you until you're bankrupt!"
The middle-aged man tried to threaten Chen Fan.
Chen Fan reached out and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder. "You need to behave and actively accept treatment. I heard you didn't take your medicine this morning. That's not good. What if you have an episode?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he was about to curse at Chen Fan.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahahaha!"
The middle-aged man was instantly startled and quickly covered his mouth, looking incredulous.
"Hahahaha!" Before the middle-aged man could recover, another burst of laughter erupted.
Even though the middle-aged man forcefully covered his mouth, he couldn't stop the roaring laughter.
This time, the middle-aged man couldn't stop laughing. In a moment, he was laughing so hard he was breathless, his face turning purple.
Seeing this, Chen Fan's lips curved upwards. "See? You just wouldn't listen to the doctor. I told you, not taking your medicine would lead to an episode! But you wouldn't listen."
"Hahahaha, I, what's wrong with me? Hahaha, I'm not sick, hahaha, I'm really not sick, hahaha, what's wrong with me?!" The middle-aged man couldn't stop.
The middle-aged woman was first startled, then her face turned angry.
With Du Jiaojiao's support, the middle-aged woman angrily walked towards the middle-aged man.
