Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat
Chapter 268 - 268 265 Sick in the Head

Chapter 268: Chapter 265: Sick in the Head Chapter 268: Chapter 265: Sick in the Head Last weekend, when Mu Jiawen went home, she talked to her mother about this matter, and Mu Chenyan had indeed heard of it.

“The antique shop your classmate mentioned must be the one in the antique market. Some people enjoy buying such fakes to keep up appearances. It seems harmless, but it’s actually disgusting to the painters. I would advise your classmate to stop cooperating with them, as there’s a risk involved,” Mu Chenyan said.

Mu Jiawen nodded, “Alright, I’ll talk to him about it.”

“Xiaoyan dropped you off and then hurried off for what?”

“Didn’t he start a company with some seniors? They’re developing a new game.”

This was beyond the mother and daughter’s field of expertise, so after a brief discussion, they changed the subject.

Jing Junyang’s patent application was going smoothly, and today he had invited Jiang Yan to discuss a partnership with an electronics factory.

However, it seemed their luck was bad. Just as they arrived at the electronics factory, right beside the main gate, some workers were installing an advertising board. The two of them had already passed by when Jing Junyang suddenly realized he had left his phone in the car.

He mentioned it to Jiang Yan and turned around to fetch his phone. After walking about five meters, Jiang Yan, who was waiting inside the gate, suddenly heard a loud bang. Turning around, he saw Jing Junyang crushed beneath an iron advertising board, his legs twitching.

He was startled and rushed over to help the two workers lift the advertising board. They pulled Jing Junyang up from the ground. It was unclear where he had been hit, but his head and face were covered in blood.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”

The workers responsible for hanging the sign were terrified. They hurried down and incessantly apologized to Jing Junyang while the security guard at the gate quickly phoned inside the factory.

“Let’s get to the hospital first!”

Jiang Yan saw that Jing Junyang wasn’t knocked unconscious and was in pain, holding his wound. He was somewhat relieved.

If it was just an external injury, then there wasn’t too much cause for concern.

Manager Chen, who was in charge of negotiating with them at the factory, also hurried over and accompanied them to the hospital.

“Go to Furen Hospital, just drive straight ahead from here, take a turn, and you’ll be there.”

Although there was a small hospital near the factory, it was too rudimentary to conduct a brain CT scan. Since Jing Junyang’s head had been hit by such a large advertising board, Manager Chen was afraid of potential complications. It was safer to go directly to Furen Hospital.

Jing Junyang had driven them there, but now it was Jiang Yan behind the wheel.

He drove fast. Fortunately, the rush hour had passed, and the roads were relatively empty. So, in less than twenty minutes, they arrived at their destination.

“Manager Chen, you take him to emergency. I’ll go park,” Jiang Yan said.

After they got out of the car in front of the emergency building, Jiang Yan drove off to the parking lot.

By the time he had parked and returned, nurses were cleaning the blood off Jing Junyang’s head and disinfecting the wound. Nearby, a surgeon was preparing a needle to stitch up the wound.

Jing Junyang, looking at the needle, clung to Jiang Yan’s hand, trembling like a sieve.

Manager Chen, observing the gaping wound on Jing Junyang’s head, felt queasy.

No wonder there was so much blood; the wound was deep.

He asked the surgeon, “Doctor, could we get a brain CT scan for him after this?”

“We can, but there’s no neurologist on duty in the emergency department. You’ll have to go to the neurology department with the CT results,” the doctor said.

It was then Jiang Yan remembered Yu Feng worked at Furen. He took out his phone and gave him a call. Fortunately, because there was a surgery scheduled for that evening, Yu Feng was at the hospital.

After the stitches were done and the CT scan taken, waiting for the results, Jiang Yan told the two to wait in emergency while he took the images to neurology to find Yu Feng.

By now it was already 8 p.m. In contrast to the bustle of the emergency department, the neurology building was very quiet.

Following Yu Feng’s instructions, Jiang Yan rode the elevator straight to the fifth floor. As soon as he stepped out, he heard an impatient voice in the hallway, “I’ve told you so many times Dr. Yu’s appointments for this month are fully booked. Either schedule for the next month or see a different doctor. Waiting here is useless; Dr. Yu is very busy. He has surgery tonight. Please, don’t disturb our work, okay?”

Tsk! Is this guy really that in demand?

Just as he thought this, Jiang Yan turned the corner and was stunned to see the woman pleading with the nurse ahead.

“Please accommodate us, our child’s situation is quite urgent…”

“Who isn’t anxious when their brain’s at stake? But Dr. Yu’s schedule is really full; you can’t just push everyone else’s appointments back, can you? Okay, please go down now; don’t make it difficult for us, alright?”

Jiang Yan slowly walked over, and the nurse immediately asked with caution, “Who are you looking for?”

Jiang Yan paused for two seconds before replying, “I have an appointment with Dr. Yu.”

“Then wait a moment; I’ll check and then you can go in.”

The nurse turned to make a call, and Jiang Yan stood by waiting.

Shu Wan didn’t expect to run into Jiang Yan here. She looked at him and opened her mouth as if to say something but then didn’t know what to say.

After all, they had encountered each other many times before and had nothing to say to each other.

At that moment, the nurse turned around and asked, “Is your last name Jiang?”

Jiang Yan nodded. He did not look at Shu Wan beside him, nor did he intend to speak.

“Then go in, Dr. Yu is waiting for you inside.”

Jiang Yan turned and walked inside; his expression was calm and his gaze steady and undisturbed.

Jing Junyang’s brain CT had no major issues; Yu Feng briefly explained this to him, but noticed that the kid was distracted.

“What are you thinking about? Hurry up and go back, your friend is fine.”

After coming out of Yu Feng’s office, Jiang Yan ran into Shu Wan again next to the elevator.

This time she was alone, not accompanied by her current husband Ma Jiandong.

“Xiaoyan, what’s… what’s wrong with you?”

Shu Wan had been worried seeing Jiang Yan carrying imaging scans to find Dr. Yu. Everyone who came here had some brain issue, and she feared that he had the same problems as Ma Zheng…

“I’m fine, the scans are my friend’s.”

Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn’t him, it was good. Regardless of whether she wanted to care for this son, she ultimately hoped everything was fine with him.

After asking their questions, the mother and son were out of words again. The elevator arrived, and they both entered.

“Is it Ma Zheng who’s sick?”

Upon exiting the elevator on the ground floor, Jiang Yan finally couldn’t help but ask.

In his last life, he didn’t remember Ma Zheng having a brain problem and coming to Beijing for treatment, or maybe it did happen, but he simply didn’t know about it.

Before the beginning of his second year at Beijing University, he asked Shu Wan for tuition money. Ma Jiandong belittled him behind his back after finding out. Since then, he had never seen the family of three again.

But that time, Shu Wan still gave him the tuition money.

If Ma Zheng was indeed sick in his last life, then the timing of him asking for the tuition would coincide closely with Ma Zheng’s surgery.

Shu Wan and Ma Jiandong were both university professors; their jobs were respectable, but they only earned a fixed salary. Things were comfortable most of the time, but during emergencies, their savings might not be enough.

“He fainted suddenly during a PE class at school, and the local hospitals in Yunzhou discovered a small tumor in his brain. The doctor suggested coming to Beijing for the surgery and recommended Director Xiang at Furen Hospital, saying he has a very high success rate. But when we got here, we found out that Director Xiang is away on a trip.”

While speaking, Shu Wan gave a bitter smile, “Actually, even if Director Xiang wasn’t away, we wouldn’t be able to get an appointment with him. You saw just now; even getting an appointment with Dr. Yu, who is the second in line, is impossible for us.”

It was rare for Shu Wan to say so much to Jiang Yan in one go, yet it was all about her younger son’s illness.

Shu Wan felt somewhat embarrassed; she said to Jiang Yan, “You don’t have to worry, at worst we’ll just wait another month. By the way, your… your studies at Beijing University, are they going well? Do you have enough money? I can…”

“I have enough; I’ll be going now.”
