Chapter 1751: 1691 Frightened Out of One's Wits

"What's wrong?" Xie Yiren asked.

"Xiao Feng said, Liu Xiao Jie's classmate has a terrible headache. A few days ago they went to the Hospital for a CT scan, but nothing showed up." Zheng Ren laughed: "Xiao Feng is just sucking up, silently nourishing."

"You..." Xie Yiren chuckled, turning their head, seeing Su Yun had placed peanuts in the living room, and they were drinking, cup for cup.

They tiptoed secretly and kissed Zheng Ren once.

"Hehe." Zheng Ren chuckled, reached out to hug Xie Yiren, but she dodged, saying, "Watching a show~"

Zheng Ren looked down on Xie Yiren's attitude of allowing only officials to set fires while forbidding commoners to light lamps.

The WeChat notification sounded on the phone, Zheng Ren felt helpless and had to pull out the phone to look.

Feng Xu Hui sent over the head CT images; looking at them, there was no problem at all.

Zheng Ren examined them carefully for two minutes, feeling the wind outside was strong, and pulled Xiao Yi Ren back to the living room.

"Did the images come over?" Su Yun threw a peanut, Heizi leapt up, but was hit aside, biting it in one gulp, crunching loudly as it ate happily.

"How old are you, fighting Heizi for food?" Chang Yue scoffed, called Heizi over and gave it two peanuts.

"This is life's fun, you wouldn't understand." Su Yun said dismissively.

"Xiao Feng sent the CT over; looking at the images shows nothing wrong." Zheng Ren shrugged and said.

Many headaches have no organic lesions; even if there are subtle changes, they are hard to see in a head CT or in the images transmitted via WeChat.

"For a young girl, it's normal to develop mental symptoms like migraines when stressed." Su Yun tipped the cup's alcohol into their throat, saying it casually.

"Who knows, I'll ask about the medical history." Zheng Ren dialed Feng Xu Hui's phone.

"Xiao Feng..." The other end answered the call; Zheng Ren had just uttered two characters when a scream rang out.

The scream was so loud that Xie Yiren, Su Yun, and Chang Yue heard it crystal clear.

"Yo, Xiao Feng, is this forcing the bow like a tyrant?" Su Yun smirked: "You've got guts."

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Ren frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chief Zheng... sigh... Xiao Hui said she saw someone entering the house again." Feng Xu Hui said helplessly.

Zheng Ren's first thought was that it was a hallucination.

It's obvious that Feng Xu Hui and Liu Xiao Jie should be in the rented house; the girl called Xiao Hui seeing someone enter is not a hallucination, what else could it be?

He sighed.

"Xiao Feng, where do you live? I'll go take a look." Zheng Ren said.

"Chief Zheng... then... sorry to trouble you. It's been almost 20 days, the condition is getting worse..." Feng Xu Hui hesitated, not wanting to bother Zheng Ren. But the situation here isn't optimistic either, so he eventually spoke haltingly.

"Don't be so polite; while there's still time, go take a look and come back to get a good sleep." Zheng Ren said.

"Then I'll send you the location via WeChat." Feng Xu Hui said politely.

Zheng Lao Ban treats himself as a brother, but one cannot treat Zheng Lao Ban as a brother. This is what an old jianghu senior told Feng Xu Hui; if this mistake is made, in the end one won't even know how they died. (Note)

One must forever maintain an attitude of respect, reverence, and even worship to be able to go on.

"If I were you, I'd say don't bother Xiao Feng." Su Yun joked while standing up, obviously wanting to go together.

"Just go take a look; probably nothing's wrong." Zheng Ren said.

Speaking, he glanced at the address, sent the location to Su Yun, and left a voice message for Feng Xu Hui, asking him to briefly explain the situation.

"Boss, you don't even do ride-hailing?" Su Yun said disdainfully: "At this rate, you'll soon degenerate."

"Leave it to the flawless assistant to do; this is also giving you a chance to show off your presence."

"Nonsense, when the condition comes over I'll also take a look, and I won't believe it!" Su Yun objected.

This is Su Yun; anyone else would have been speechless by now.

Repeatedly fighting and losing, losing and fighting, Su Yun has never been discouraged.

Soon, Feng Xu Hui sent a text briefly describing Xiao Hui's medical history; the two picked up their phones, greeted each other, and went downstairs holding their phones.

The patient is Zhang Xiao Hui, 25 years old, a first-year master's student. Nineteen days ago, at 9 p. m., returning from the study room to the dormitory, they found the dorm in disarray, with signs of theft.

As a girl, they were frightened out of their wits at the time.

Originally she shared the room with another female student, but that roommate moved out to live with her boyfriend, leaving her alone in the dormitory temporarily.

This incident left Zhang Xiao Hui with deep psychological trauma.

After seeing the ransacked room, Zhang Xiao Hui felt a headache; in her own words, she felt like a sheet of paper about to be torn in half by an invisible pair of large hands.

The headache is real, but each time it subsides on its own; according to Feng Xu Hui's description, taking medicine or not makes no difference.

The onset time is not fixed; when brief, it eases within 1–3 minutes; when prolonged, it eases within three hours.

Initially thought to be excessive fright, they went to the Hospital for a head CT; seeing nothing, they did not continue seeking treatment.

But as time passed, Zhang Xiao Hui's headache not only failed to ease, it gradually worsened.

One week ago, she reported occasionally seeing the scene of the room being ransacked; the more she thought about it, the more fearful she became, so she asked Liu Xiao Jie to stay with her.

When she occasionally recalls the situation, she experiences headache symptoms; additionally, she gets headaches when showering and washing her hair.

But the warm shower water hitting other parts of the body is fine; only that small spot on the crown triggers the headache.

Yesterday Liu Xiao Jie followed Zheng Ren and Feng Xu Hui on a "business trip"; while Zhang Xiao Hui was alone, the headache occurred twice more.

Today, while taking a shower and doing a test to report to the doctor, she accidentally had warm water poured onto her crown, and immediately began to have a headache.

Today's headache, the onset was especially severe.

It even produced hallucinations, enabling her to see someone entering.

"Boss, this girl couldn't have been frightened out of her wits, could she?" Su Yun looked at the medical history, mentally outlining Zhang Xiao Hui's condition, pondering.

"Not likely." Zheng Ren said: "If the severe headache described were truly real, there would definitely be neurological changes; otherwise the headache cannot be explained."

"It's from being frightened."

"Excessive fright can possibly cause dizziness and headache; I think Xiao Feng's medical history isn't detailed enough, we'll talk more after we go." Zheng Ren said.

"Boss, did you notice that Xiao Feng said this girl now experiences severe headaches whenever she recalls that day's situation or when shower water hits her crown?"

I noticed. Zheng Ren said, "It is said that temperature changes, blood vessel spasms or similar situations, are also possible, but the problem is serious."

"Trigeminal neuralgia?" Su Yun asked.

Note: The relationship between a certain director and the president of the Hospital was like this, resulting in... cough cough. Based on experience, clinical experience~~~not necessarily correct, just written casually.
