As Chi Yu uttered these words, Ji Bai suddenly halted his movements.
For a moment, he failed to understand the meaning behind Chi Yu's words.
He stopped what he was doing and fixed his gaze on Chi Yu.
"What do you mean by 'hearing nothing'?"
Ji Bai stared directly at the person in front of him.
Chi Yu showed no strong emotions. He simply replied indifferently, "It means exactly what it says. I haven't heard anything yet. I just lied to you."
It took Ji Bai a while to react to what Chi Yu meant. He raised his voice and shouted, "You lied to me?"
Chi Yu didn't answer but nodded.
Ji Bai immediately jumped up on the spot and pointed at Chi Yu, scolding him, "Are you crazy, Chi Yu! How can you joke about this? How can you be so out of line in your actions now?!"
Seeing that Ji Bai was really angry, Chi Yu then spoke up to comfort him.
"I've been feeling a bit of pain occasionally at night recently."
After what had just happened, Ji Bai didn't quite trust him.
He looked at Chi Yu doubtfully and remained still.
Seeing this, Chi Yu suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm really not lying to you this time."
"…Really?"
"If I lie to you again, I'll never be able to marry Qing Mian in this lifetime."
Chi Yu stretched out his hand and raised three fingers to swear.
Seeing this, Ji Bai began to believe him.
"You don't have to swear such a harsh oath. If Wen Xi finds out, I'm afraid I'll get another scolding. I can just examine you to know the situation. Why swear such a harsh oath? You really are."
Ji Bai stood beside Chi Yu and carefully examined him with the tools in his hand.
As he examined him, he kept muttering to himself.
Chi Yu could only feel his breath, and out of the corner of his eye, he could see his mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear the sound.
A moment later.
Ji Bai put away the tools in his hand, walked around to the front of Chi Yu, and said seriously to him, "There's nothing serious now. The impurities inside have all been cleaned up. You've recovered quite well. Your hearing should recover in a short time."
"By the way, it must have been quite uncomfortable for you not to be able to hear anything during this period, right?"
Ji Bai asked Chi Yu curiously.
Chi Yu lifted his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and then said, "It's okay. Do you want to try?"
Chi Yu deliberately spoke to Ji Bai in a teasing manner.
Hearing this, Ji Bai gave him an annoyed look. "No way. I don't need this kind of life experience."
After saying that, he suddenly seemed to remember something and mentioned Qing Mian. "How do you think Qing Mian's condition is? I think now is the best time to treat her. I think her condition is quite good. It's much better than I expected."
Hearing this, Chi Yu's eyes flickered. "I lied to you just now to send Qing Mian away and talk to you about this."
Seeing Chi Yu's solemn expression, Ji Bai also became nervous. "What's wrong? You're not thinking of not letting Qing Mian receive treatment again, are you? Let me tell you, don't back out at this critical moment. You've already brought her here. You can't just take her back again."
Ji Bai's emotions were a bit agitated.
Chi Yu knew that doing this was too risky, but he could clearly feel that Qing Mian's condition was much better than before. In fact, it was the best she had been since she returned from Mexico.
He thought there was no need to continue treating Qing Mian in this situation.
After all, she was fine now. No one could guarantee that after the treatment, Qing Mian would still be as healthy and lively as she was now.
Chi Yu was a bit scared. He didn't dare to take the risk.
He had experienced the feeling of being hypnotized.
He never wanted to experience that feeling again in his lifetime, and he also hoped that Qing Mian would never have to experience it.
Chi Yu told Ji Bai all his thoughts one by one.
After listening, Ji Bai fell into deep thought for a long time.
Chi Yu's concerns were not completely unfounded. On the contrary, his concerns were indeed one of the possible side effects.
Although hypnotherapy was no longer a rare treatment method, the human brain was uncontrollable, and no one could guarantee a 100% success rate.
Thinking of Qing Mian's condition just now, Ji Bai finally relented.
"Okay!"
"Then we'll observe for a while. If you notice anything wrong, you must send her to the hospital immediately. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen."
Ji Bai's words were very euphemistic.
Chi Yu knew what he meant.
What he wanted to say was that if one day Qing Mian was suddenly replaced by Jiang Zhirou, then he could do nothing. He couldn't create another Qing Mian for him.
Chi Yu knew all this.
He also knew very well that if the person standing in front of him was Jiang Zhirou, he couldn't possibly fail to recognize her.
He was very certain of this.
"Alright. Since you two have already made the decision, I'll inform them to cancel the treatment for now."
Ji Bai's voice rang out.
Chi Yu nodded at him. "Thanks."
...
...
Chi Yu left Ji Bai's office and headed straight for the lobby.
As soon as he got out of the elevator, Chi Yu saw 'Qing Mian' not far away arguing with the nurse at the information desk.
"I've already said I'm not!!" Jiang Zhirou shouted at the person in front of her.
The nurse tightly grabbed Jiang Zhirou's wrist. Jiang Zhirou suddenly raised her hand, trying to shake off the nurse's grip.
But the nurse grabbed her even tighter.
"It's you! It's you! I can't be wrong. That day you wrapped your face tightly, but your figure was exactly the same! I won't be wrong!"
The nurse's emotions were also a bit agitated.
The situation instantly became chaotic.
Chi Yu quickly walked a few steps to Jiang Zhirou's side, shook off the nurse's hand, and carefully checked the injuries of the person in front of him.
"Are you okay?"
Chi Yu looked at the person in front of him nervously.
Jiang Zhirou came back to her senses from the incident just now. When she saw it was Chi Yu, she suddenly felt relieved and shook her head at him. "I'm okay."
Hearing Jiang Zhirou say she was okay, Chi Yu's gaze then shifted to the nurse. He asked with a cold face, "What's going on?"
Most of the staff at Ruikang Hospital knew Chi Yu. When they saw him, their attitudes immediately became respectful. "Mr. Chi, this lady came to the hospital a few days ago and kept asking about the information of a deceased patient. We suspected that she was a family member of that old man, so we wanted to confirm. But just now when we saw this lady, she kept denying it, and her emotions were a bit agitated."
Hearing the nurse's words, Chi Yu's expression became even uglier than before. "What's the name of the deceased patient?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the nurse's expression became a bit embarrassed. This was an internal matter of the hospital, and even as friends of the hospital director, they didn't have the right to disclose it casually.
Just as the nurse was hesitating, Chi Yu's voice rang out again. "Is the name of that patient Xiang Xiaozhong?"
