Chapter 2268: with translation of chapter title

2191 Low blood sugar?

"How did you just avoid the important and focus on the trivial?" Lin Yuan muttered softly, she didn't dare to refute that.

"Histrionic personality disorder is common among 25-year-olds, with more females than males." Su Yun watched the video carefully, muttering at Lin Yuan, "In other words, it's just not growing up, being affected. Many girls are like that, full of inner drama. Once they meet a few scumbags, they grow up."

"Mm, you're right." Lin Yuan, unusually, didn't say anything but nodded, "Girls who don't encounter scumbags really can't grow up."

"Yo, sounds like there's a story." Su Yun's lips turned up.

"No way, just hearsay." Lin Yuan ignored Su Yun's words and instead stared intently at the suspect on the screen.

"There's a problem." Zheng Ren suddenly hit pause, pointing at the screen and said, "Right here."

"Expression? The suspect's expression is a bit ferocious, looks like he's scared." Lin Yuan watched the video carefully, "Lawyer Ge, you guys didn't say anything to provoke him, did you?"

"Doctor Lin, it won't be." Lawyer Ge said gently.

"No, Boss means he's sweating." Su Yun said.

"Hmm." Zheng Ren nodded, "It's not like sweating after intense exercise, but rather… excessive sweating caused by low blood sugar. It's fairly even, no special sweating on the forehead or temples."

"Just looking at it feels damp." Su Yun said, "Boss, what are you considering?"

"There's a lot to consider, Lawyer Ge, your client is still in the psychiatric hospital, right? Check his blood sugar to see the situation." Zheng Ren said.

Lawyer Ge didn't feel embarrassed, nodded and went out to make a call.

The video wasn't long; Zheng Ren watched it twice over.

"Boss, what are you considering?"

"The blood sugar probably has an issue." Zheng Ren said firmly.

Lin Yuan stood behind Zheng Lao Ban with a pout, yet refused to believe.

Just based on a video segment, you conclude the blood sugar has a problem? What on earth is Zheng Lao Ban's line of thinking?

Could it be that he's sweating all over? There are many other things to consider in this situation.

After several setbacks, Lin Yuan had become obedient, no longer questioning Zheng Lao Ban, but wanting to learn his diagnostic approach. Though she didn't believe it, she subconsciously pondered his reasoning.

But this line of thinking is too whimsical; Lin Yuan simply couldn't grasp it.

After Lawyer Ge finished giving instructions and returned, he sat beside Zheng Ren and didn't say much.

Soon, the boiled fish was served; Xie Yiren held chopsticks, resembling Zheng Ren preparing for surgery.

"Time to eat!" Zheng Ren closed his notebook, smiling, "We'll discuss the results later."

"It should be soon." Lawyer Ge said.

Just as he said, a few minutes later a WeChat message appeared on Lawyer Ge's phone.

"Zheng Lao Ban, blood sugar 4.6 mmol/L." Lawyer Ge whispered.

The blood sugar is fine; this is a slap in the face for Zheng Lao Ban.

Young and hot‑headed, but don't blame yourself for misdiagnosing the illness, Lawyer Ge thought.

"Oh, normal?" Zheng Ren frowned, holding chopsticks, lost in thought.

Lin Yuan was dazed; just now Zheng Lao Ban said the blood sugar had a problem, but the lab report mercilessly proved Zheng Lao Ban wasn't always right, yet his expression seemed calm.

Turns out I overthought it; someone who's always victorious shouldn't even exist in this world.

Lin Yuan sighed.

Her little‑girl dream in her heart shattered; she lowered her head and ate.

"Zheng Lao Ban, look…" Lawyer Ge saw Zheng Ren's expression was normal, no anger, and asked softly.

"Where are your lawyers?" Zheng Ren asked while eating.

"Yeah, they've been there all along."

"When it flares up again, test the blood sugar and see the numbers." Zheng Ren said.

"Okay." Lawyer Ge didn't question Zheng Lao Ban's decision and continued contacting his lawyers.

Although it was a bit of a hassle, Lawyer Ge still chose to trust Zheng Lao Ban.

The boiled fish was fragrant, but Zheng Ren had no appetite; he doesn't like eating much anyway, and today he also encountered someone who might have a problem.

His mind was full of slow‑motion replays of the video.

"Yi Ren, can you make boiled fish?" Su Yun ate his rice, mouth not honest, asked Xie Yiren.

"I can, but… I'm afraid to cut live fish, and I always mess up deboning and extracting the meat." Xie Yiren said.

"Hey!" Su Yun tapped the bowl holding the boiled fish with his chopsticks, a crisp sound rang out, interrupting Zheng Ren's thoughts, "Boss, hurry up."

"What?"

"Yi Ren's knife skills are lacking; perfect for you to play hero and save the beauty."

"Oh, deboning and extracting the meat, I'll figure it out." Zheng Ren said, subconsciously thinking of the System Space.

But he quickly realized, Big Pig Trotter is not a gourmet system; it won't let him practice knife skills for cooking.

"Eat less of this stuff." Zheng Ren changed the subject.

"Huh?"

"Look, the oil is boiling hot, adding chili makes it especially appetizing. But supposedly doing the oil this way is wrong; better to go home and make it ourselves."

Xie Yiren picked out the bean sprouts from the boiled fish and ate them happily, completely ignoring what Zheng Ren was thinking.

"Is it reused?" Chang Yue asked, "I've heard people say…"

"No, even if it's not reused, there are still issues." Zheng Ren said, "Nowadays everyone uses vegetable oil, and reports say it's actually not much better than animal oil."

"Tch!" Su Yun said disdainfully, "If you say that, we might as well not eat rice."

"Yeah, I hardly eat rice anyway." Zheng Ren smiled slightly, producing iron‑clad evidence that left Su Yun speechless.

"If you're capable, go a lifetime without eating rice."

"Arguing is pointless." Zheng Ren said, "The prevailing claim opposing saturated fat and cholesterol intake is just a 'hypothesis'; in fact it lacks theoretical basis."

"Uh... no way, Zheng Lao Ban." Lin Yuan didn't believe.

"The traditional claim is that videos high in saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, trans fat, and total fat will increase the proportion of cholesterol in the blood." Zheng Ren said, "In the 2015 edition of the United States Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the limit on cholesterol intake was removed."

""

"Having said that, the reason plant oils have been pushed up so high is because their rise cannot be separated from the innovation of industrial Technique; as well as the mid‑20th‑century 'fat hypothesis' that opposed saturated fat and cholesterol, which said that to lower heart disease one must avoid animal fat and choose plant oil."

"Yeah, it's just like 'you are what you eat.' Eating collagen to supplement collagen is all nonsense." Su Yun agreed with the Boss's view on this point.

"Mainly, scientists bought off by the sugar industry and the industrial plant oil association conducted some misleading trials, avoiding the important points." Zheng Ren said.

"All fats contain saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids; only the proportions of each component differ. Omega-6 is a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid." Su Yun, seeing that Chang Yue liked to eat it, continued along the Boss's meaning.

"Like Omega-3, they are essential fatty acids for the human body; these two fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body, so we must obtain them from our diet."

"Before he finished speaking, Lawyer Ge held his phone and said, 'Zheng Lao Ban, when my client's mental state lacks Stability, their blood sugar is low.'"
