Chapter 546: Queuing Up for the Rooftop

"F*ck!" Liu Zhuren saw this scene, and a curse word blurted out.

Not just him, even Bai Chuzhang was left dumbfounded by what he saw.

Bai Chuzhang had seen countless major scenes; he had even occasionally encountered similar situations where patients or Family Members jumped off buildings at the hospital, but he never expected to see such a scene on a variety show.

Has the production team gone mad?

They actually dared to broadcast this!

In the footage, Ji Xiang tore off his White Uniform without hesitation, and the buttons of the White Uniform went flying everywhere.

The footage before and after had slight discrepancies, but neither Bai Chuzhang nor Liu Zhuren noticed this detail; their minds were entirely occupied by what illness the patient had and how to persuade the patient.

The camera lens was also shaking; it was clear the camera crew was following Ji Xiang all the way upstairs.

"Xiao Ji runs really fast, like a rabbit," Liu Zhuren said, staring in astonishment.

Bai Chuzhang didn't speak, frowning as he watched the television, taking in every single detail.

"Lao Bai, what did you see?"

"I saw the corner of the patient's skirt caught on the railing of the handrail."

"You dirty pervert!" Liu Zhuren said with disdain.

"Do you know why the patient is standing there and not jumping down?" Bai Chuzhang suddenly asked a strange question.

"Huh?!" Liu Zhuren was stunned.

He really didn't know how to answer this question.

"It's because her skirt is caught on the railing," Bai Chuzhang said calmly.

"She's about to die, yet she still cares about that."

"Death is death, dignity is dignity. Anyway, if it were me... forget it, there's no point in saying this. I reckon the patient was hot-headed at first and wanted to jump down to get it over with. But when she saw people below, she hesitated; that's the most basic morality.

Afterwards, her skirt got caught on the outside of the railing; there was just one angle where you could see her trying to unhook her skirt."

"Lao Bai, your eyesight is impressive," Liu Zhuren praised.

"I've said it before, only Neurosurgery is real Surgery! You lot are just a bunch of slackers," Bai Chuzhang said with disdain.

"Hahaha." Liu Zhuren laughed; similar arguments had been going on for many years. In the hospital's hierarchy of contempt, Neurosurgery naturally stood at the top, and the only department that could butt heads with Neurosurgery was Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Although he laughed, there was no smile on Liu Zhi's face; his eyes were fixed tightly on the screen.

For patients like this, no matter who it is, it's a headache. If he encountered it himself... he could only stay far away, so as not to get blood splattered all over himself.

Talk her down?

That possibility basically didn't exist.

In the hospital, patients who go straight to jumping off a building after leaving the Consultation Room are basically in the late stages of Cancer and beyond saving.

Lao Bai was right; the reason she could retain a shred of sanity was that she didn't want to leave looking so unsightly.

What was the point of Ji Xiang running up there?

It was useless! And this wasn't something that could be solved with just a burst of passion; the patient no longer had the courage to live, so Ji Xiang going up there was also in vain.

"Sigh." As Liu Zhuren watched, he let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

"Lao Bai, do you think Ji Xiang can handle it?" Liu Zhuren still held a sliver of hope.

"Handle it my foot, shameless production team!" Bai Chuzhang said in a deep, angry voice, "For the sake of Traffic, they can think of anything!"

Liu Zhuren also wanted to curse, but the camera was already in position. In the camera lens, Ji Xiang was at least 3 meters away from the patient, using his hands to vault over the railing.

"F*ck!" Liu Zhuren exclaimed.

It wasn't just the audience; even the female patient, who had been determined to die, was stunned.

She stared blankly at Ji Xiang, not knowing what this young man was trying to do.

Queuing up to get on the rooftop?!

Why would one need to queue up to jump off a building!

Everyone had heard such jokes, but this was the first time encountering one; the woman was somewhat bewildered.

Ji Xiang stood on the narrow space outside the railing, glanced downstairs, moved his lips, and muttered something.

"Lao Bai, what did Xiao Ji say?"

Bai Chuzhang shook his head.

Liu Zhuren also knew that due to the noisy environment and the distance, the dialogue between Ji Xiang and the female patient couldn't be heard at all in the footage.

However, the less he could hear, the more he wanted to hear; he was truly curious.

Just then, the scene shifted, and the camera moved to the Review Room.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren's mouth was twisted almost to his ears, his face full of astonishment, "Teacher Luo, you are a top-tier lip-reading Expert in the country, please 'translate' what Doctor Ji Xiang said."

A top-tier lip-reading Expert!

As expected, the production team had prepared in advance; Liu Zhuren's heart steadied a little.

The camera cut to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties; he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, suave and elegant. But the lip-reading Expert stared blankly at the screen, as if he hadn't heard the Guangtou Zhuchiren's words.

"Teacher Luo?"

"Teacher Luo??"

The Guangtou Zhuchiren called out two more times, his voice getting louder each time, until the final call, when the lip-reading Expert, Teacher Luo, seemed to finally hear.

"It's like this, that young doctor said—Damn it, having to queue up to jump off a rooftop, what kind of world is this."

"..."

"..."

The many guests in the Review Room were all stunned at once.

Bai Chuzhang and Liu Zhuren were also dumbfounded; no one could have imagined that Ji Xiang would actually say such a thing just now.

The footage was not continuous, but kept switching back and forth between the dialogue of Ji Xiang and the female patient.

Although it was clearly edited in post-production, the audience no longer cared; everyone's curiosity had been piqued.

"Teacher Luo, is it for real?"

"How could Doctor Ji Xiang say something like that!"

"Isn't that forcing that woman to jump off the building?"

The guests discussed it heatedly, and at this moment, the screen froze, having been paused by the broadcast team.

"I don't know either." Teacher Luo felt somewhat helpless; he was only responsible for reading lips and didn't concern himself with anything else.

Guangtou Zhuchiren hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher Shen, what is your opinion?"

"I don't know." Professor Shen answered quite cautiously, "Similar situations are relatively rare in the hospital, but they aren't unheard of. Every year, we hear of some Patient who, after a clear diagnosis, chooses suicide either because of a Spirit breakdown or because they don't want to burden their family."

"But generally, those who jump off buildings directly in the hospital, aside from some elderly people in the early years who wanted to use their own deaths to extort some compensation from the hospital, are basically all suffering from a Spirit breakdown. For Doctor Ji Xiang to say that... I feel it will make the Patient's emotions collapse even further."

"Could it be a dose of strong medicine?" Guangtou Zhuchiren said.

Liu Zhuren was also afraid of problems arising, and at this moment, countless bullet comments suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Lao Bai, turn off the bullet comments to save your IQ," Liu Zhuren said.

"Let me see what the others are saying." Bai Chuzhang frowned and glanced at the bullet comments.

But what was not unexpected was that the audience posting the bullet comments were all cursing Guangtou Zhuchiren, telling them to stop yapping and hurry up and show what happened next.

There were also many people commenting on Ji Xiang's actions, and the opinions varied.

Guangtou Zhuchiren seemed to have heard everyone's inner thoughts; he didn't dawdle, and the footage continued.
