Zhu Junjie felt a complex mix of emotions upon receiving Yan Wen's call. Mong Si had actually gone to save Tong Tong and had sustained serious injuries for her sake. It was well-known among those close to Zhu Junjie that he cherished Tong Tong deeply. If anything were to happen to her, he would undoubtedly be devastated, and his parents would be heartbroken as well. This was the perfect opportunity for Mong Si to take revenge on him. To his surprise, Mong Si did not kick him while he was down.
Song Lan was very close to Zhu Junjie and heard the contents of the call clearly; she found it unbelievable. Perhaps, as Zhu Junqiao said, Mong Si felt differently about Zhu Junqiao and Tong Tong. Maybe in his heart, he longed for closeness with family but rejected the intimacy offered by the Zhu family and Zhu Junjie. In this matter, they owed Mong Si a debt of gratitude. Concerned for Tong Tong, Song Lan drove Zhu Junjie to Mutau Hospital.
At that moment, Wei Sheng had already arrived at Mutau Hospital. He examined Tong Tong's injuries; she had a three-centimeter cut on her shoulder from a dagger. The little girl cared about her appearance, and having a wound made her feel unattractive. After Wei Sheng personally stitched up Tong Tong's injury, he went to check on Mong Si's condition.
Mong Si's situation was much worse compared to Tong Tong's. Both of his legs were fractured, and there were signs of cracked ribs on his body, with a four-centimeter wound on his back where a piece of metal was embedded. When Wei Sheng entered the operating room, the doctors were already attending to Mong Si.
The doctors initially thought that Wei Sheng had come to take over the treatment for Mong Si, but instead, he just stood there without moving. With Wei Sheng, the big boss, supervising, the doctors dared not lose focus and concentrated intently on treating Mong Si's wounds. The operating room was filled with the smell of blood and disinfectant; Wei Sheng was accustomed to this scent and watched the doctors work methodically without changing expression.
His gaze slid over Mong Si's exposed body. There was a lot of blood on him, but many gruesome wounds were still visible. These injuries looked aged; enduring such severe wounds must have been incredibly difficult. His willpower was resilient; using someone like him for drug testing was far better than recruiting trial subjects.
Wei Sheng recalled Mong Si's ordeal and shifted his gaze away. After Mong Si was wheeled out of the operating room, Wei Sheng received a call from Zhu Junjie, who was inquiring about Tong Tong's condition.
"Didn't the nurse tell you?"
He arranged for the nurse to convey the situation regarding Tong Tong.
"I feel more at ease hearing it from you."
"Tong Tong is physically fine, but we don't know exactly what she has gone through. Judging by the situation at the scene, what Tong Tong experienced is likely not something a child her age should endure. For specific details, we need to ask Mong Si."
Wei Sheng had learned that A-Hu had arrived but had not entered the cabin.
A-Hu was unaware of the situation inside the cabin; currently, only Tong Tong and Mong Si knew.
"For safety's sake, you should find a reliable psychologist for Tong Tong. If she wakes up and shows any unusual behavior, you need to have the psychologist provide timely intervention."
Zhu Junjie felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this.
He had thought that as long as Tong Tong's injuries weren't severe, everything would be fine; he hadn't considered her psychological resilience at all.
Song Lan stood nearby, her heart tightening as well.
As a manager, she had read many scripts and had some knowledge on the subject.
She knew there was a condition called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and quietly said to Zhu Junjie, "Dr. Wei knows many psychologists; you should ask him to recommend a good one."
Wei Sheng held significant prestige in the medical field, so Song Lan trusted him in this regard.
Zhu Junjie quickly relayed Song Lan's suggestion, "Okay, I'll arrange that. We're currently discussing hypotheticals. If Tong Tong wakes up and is just like usual, that would be the best outcome. If there are issues, we need to know what happened at that time to provide better psychological intervention. If Tong Tong has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, we can't force her to recall those moments; we need you to find out from Mong Si what occurred."
Wei Sheng had already assigned their roles: he would find a psychologist while Zhu Junjie and Song Lan would extract information from Mong Si about what happened when he went to rescue Tong Tong.
"I understand. Thank you."
"You're welcome. There's one more thing you shouldn't forget: the people who kidnapped Tong Tong are from the Li Family. These individuals are ruthless; they kidnapped Tong Tong and injured Zhu Junqiao—who knows what they might do next? You need to locate any remaining members of the Li Family quickly and ensure they stay as far away as possible."
Yan Wen had previously dealt harshly with the Li Family; they thought that those left were merely surviving and could no longer stir up trouble, underestimating their determination.
"I will."
When it came to those kidnappers, Zhu Junjie's expression turned grim as he put away his phone and said to Song Lan, "I'm sorry; it's my offense against the Li Family that brought this disaster upon Tong Tong."
"There's no point in discussing past events anymore. The best way to make amends for me and Tong Tong is to ensure nothing like this happens again after you recover."
Regarding the Li Family, Song Lan had heard about Zhu Junjie and their entanglements.
It wasn't Zhu Junjie who was flirting; he was also a victim of the Li Family's schemes.
"Song Lan, thank you!"
Zhu Junjie wanted to take Tong Tong's hand.
Song Lan avoided him, saying, "I'll go accompany Tang Tang."
Although she said it wasn't his fault, Song Lan still felt angry inside.
Zhu Junjie grasped at empty air with his hand, sighed, and ran his fingers through his hair.
It had truly been a tumultuous time lately, with one incident after another leaving him overwhelmed!
His phone rang; it was a call from Zhu's father.
Upon learning that Tong Tong had been kidnapped and Zhu Junqiao was injured, along with not having rested well for several days, Zhu's mother had become weak and her mental resilience reached its limit. When she saw the bloodstains on Zhu Junqiao, she fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
Zhu's father went to take care of both Zhu's mother and Zhu Junqiao.
Though he was at the hospital, his mind was on Tong Tong, and he felt restless not being able to find her.
Zhu Junjie understood that Zhu's father was worried about Tong Tong, so when he answered the call, he briefly explained Tong Tong's situation.
"What a bunch of heartless people! They would even harm such a small child!"
Zhu Junjie wanted to curse them too, but when someone else did, he fell silent instead.
Although Zhu Junjie wasn't exactly chatty, it was rare for him to be this quiet.
Zhu's father noticed the change in Zhu Junjie since Mong Si arrived in Hai City. "Junjie, while we feel guilty towards Mong Si, we will never infringe upon your interests. You are all my children; I cannot use what belongs to you to compensate him."
"Dad, I know you love me. Actually, what he said isn't entirely wrong; he is my identical twin brother, and we were born just minutes apart. If he hadn't been swapped at birth, your love for me would have to be divided into two portions—I'm taking the love that should have been his. If he likes the company, let him have it; I won't complain one bit.
But one thing is for sure: what he did to Assistant Hu cannot just be overlooked."
