The two guards stood outside. Xia Jinyuan placed two stools properly. Ye Jian sat on one, and then he carried both her legs and rested them on his lap. His slender fingers helped to massage her legs while he spoke, “I have briefly gone through it earlier. Uncle Chen’s recovery is well. He can be discharged next week.”
The medical records were very detailed. It recorded Uncle Chen’s daily health condition. In the first week after the dangerous period, the doctors stayed on guard and watched him independently. They recorded his health status every half an hour. After listening to the guards’ explanation, and then reading it again in the records, Ye Jian felt more at ease.
After reading the suggestions on the last page, Ye Jian’s lips were slightly raised, “Yes, you’re right, he really can be discharged. If I’m not wrong, I will finish my exam on that day, so I can come over to help Uncle Chen with his discharge.”
“I’m faster than you by two days. The exam schedule for the military academy and normal schools are different. It is slightly longer for military academies.” She smiled. Xia Jinyuan felt his heart more relieved now, “After being discharged, Uncle Chen can’t return to Yunnan Province temporarily. You see, if you need me to make arrangements for sending Uncle Chen to the institution house first, then only we ask the police to send two guards over to take care of him.”
The matter was related to Principal Chen’s living, so Ye Jian nodded without hesitation, “As long as Uncle Chen agrees, then I have no comments. But…”
Although she didn’t hesitate, she still thought of Uncle Chen’s identity. Ye Jian frowned, pondered for a while before continuing, “Uncle Chen’s identity… I don’t think it is suitable for him to stay at someplace with a lot of people, especially the institution house which is quite crowded. The people there were retirees and of certain statuses. Do you think they will recognize Uncle Chen?”
What she said it made sense. Xia Jinyuan was speechless for a moment.
“Let’s ask him when he wakes up. And we’ll see what the military’s arrangements are.” Ye Jian flipped to the Yunnan Provincial Police Department’s investigation report. When her eyes just glanced through it, the smile on her face faded immediately, and her eyebrows furrowed seriously.
The investigation report written: Nurse miss-handled the medications, rule out the possibility of a murder case.
“Murder” This word was like a bullet, shot “bang” through her heart. Her mind suddenly froze; her eyes flashed a trace of blood mist.
She looked up, staring at Xia Jinyuan with her red eyes, and she asked seriously, “Murder? Why did the military think it was a murder case at first?”
That time Xia Jinyuan told her that Uncle Chen had encountered some medication mishandling problem. He did not say it was a suspected murder case!
“Calm down. Just like you, I only know about this when I got the reports. The military first suspected it was a murder case; then, they asked the Yunnan Provincial Police Department to do another thorough investigation. From the start to the end, the entire investigation lasted 20 days, and then they reported that it was “medical mishandling,” and ruled out murder.”
“The military side has also done the investigation, confirming that the matter is “medical mishandling” and not “murder.”
Ye Jian watched Xia Jinyuan speak softly while flipping through the military report. Her jaw could be seen tightened from her side profile.
When she read the part where the military asked about Ye Zhifan, Xia Jiayuan could clearly notice that her hostility increased even more, and her face looked even more murderous.
“Calm down, read slowly.” Xia Jinyuan reminded her carefully. His hands kept massaging her legs.
After finishing the mountain training, everyone’s legs were so tired that every muscle hurt in every step they took. At the moment Ye Jian jumped out from the car and rushed to the hospital, both her legs’ muscles were unbearably painful. She even staggered a few steps before stabilizing herself so that she wouldn’t fall.
She was a girl who could bear the pain. She would bite down her teeth and bear the pain.
