Chapter 724: Plenty of Fun in the Sanatorium 09

Hmph, madam, let's go.

Jin Chen pulled Shen Yan and headed downstairs, still complaining as he passed Sheng Jiping.

I am the Regent Prince—watch out, I could keep you from being emperor.

Sheng Jiping stood in place, took a few seconds to settle his emotions, silently deciding not to argue with a lunatic, and then followed downstairs.

Having just gone down two floors, he bumped into an uninvited guest.

Who is this… the new doctor?

Qiao Qing, back from a trip, went upstairs, saw Jin Chen pulling a man, glanced over a few times, and said with a smile.

He appeared frail, and the pure white suit made his face look even more handsome.

Yo, Empress.

Jin Chen stepped in front of Shen Yan, slightly lifted his chin, and said, "You shouldn't be staying in the inner palace; what are you doing coming to the outer court?"

Using Jin Chen's blocked line of sight, Shen Yan took the opportunity to put what he'd taken back into his inner pocket.

Qiao Qing couldn't be bothered with Jin Chen; his scrutinizing gaze lingered on Shen Yan for a moment before moving away.

I've heard that Director Sheng hired an internationally renowned Dr. Shen, who is very skilled with mental issues.

I don't know how confident you are that you can make them recover.

That question is clearly a trap.

On Shen Yan's first day on the job, Sheng Jiping had already told him not to rush treatment, but to focus on stabilizing the condition.

Any smart person could hear that he was politely telling him not to let those five people return to normal.

But Qiao Qing felt that wasn't enough.

The w plan is of utmost importance, allowing no mistakes.

He must hear Shen Yan's answer with his own ears.

Shen Yan merely smiled faintly, his gaze behind the lenses gentle and harmless: "Mr. Qiao, rest assured, I will follow Director Sheng's instructions."

"Even if it goes against your medical principles?" Qiao Qing chuckled.

"Medical principles aren't as important as money."

Shen Yan's tone was meaningful.

He knew Qiao Qing would understand that.

Sure enough, the scrutiny in Qiao Qing's eyes lessened considerably, but he didn't relax his vigilance because of it.

"Dr. Shen, come to my office for a sit-down to discuss the condition."

Qiao Qing and the descending Sheng Jiping exchanged a glance, then suddenly smiled and looked toward Shen Yan.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, feeling this person had ill intentions.

He hadn't yet thought of a response when Jin Chen preemptively refused.

"No! I won't allow it! Madam still has to go back with me!"

Jin Chen acted as if his precious treasure had been stolen, his whole body beginning to show abnormal possessiveness.

He clung tightly to Shen Yan, afraid Qiao Qing would take him away.

"Jin Chen, let go."

Shen Yan patted his arm.

"I… I won't! You'll leave!"

Jin Chen let out a low growl, faintly in pain.

【Host? Are you real or fake?】

0731 always felt this didn't seem like pretending.

Jin Chen himself couldn't explain it; perhaps it was the influence of the E-crystal, making him unable to control his emotions from leaking out.

Clinging to Shen Yan by instinct, he murmured, "Don't go!"

Qiao Qing frowned, "Jin Chen, release your doctor."

He seemed accustomed to Jin Chen's madness, quickly ordering his attendants to fetch a sedative.

"Jin Chen, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Yan felt the grip on his body tightening, and Jin Chen's humming grew louder.

"I don't know… I don't know, I feel so awful…"

Jin Chen's vision began to blur, he buried his face in Shen Yan's neck, and his consciousness darkened.

"Honey… I feel so awful…"

His tone grew ever more anguished and wronged.

"Jin Chen!"

Shen Yan caught his falling body, clearly feeling him tremble.

For no reason, a sour ache rose in his heart, as if he felt pity.

"It's okay, Dr. Shen, he's just having an episode."

Qiao Qing remained completely calm, swiftly taking the sedative syringe from his assistant's hand.

It was precisely the blue liquid that Shen Yan hadn't yet figured out.

Jin Chen had said that injecting this sedative would make him suffer even more.

"I'm his doctor; I should have the right to know what this medicine is."

"Dr. Shen, this is just an ordinary sedative."

Qiao Qing's expression was grim: "The most important thing now is to stop him from going mad."

Having said that, he moved to inject Jin Chen.

No! Get out! Get out!

Jin Chen glanced at the needle, which further intensified his reaction.

He almost instinctively wanted to use his spiritual power, but 0731, who noticed in time, dispelled it.

Hey! Host, wake up quickly!

Host—

I heard it.

Jin Chen was somewhat awakened by it, quickly mobilizing his spiritual power to suppress the agitation caused by the e-crystal, and finally became a bit clearer.

Honey...

He hid behind Shen Yan, feeling wronged, his eyes red from pain, like a big dog whining for comfort.

No injection... it hurts so much!

Okay, okay, no injection.

Shen Yan patted his face to comfort him, blocked Qiao Qing's arm, and then took the needle.

Mr. Qiao, since your hospital hired me, please respect my habits.

I don't want the patients under my care to be forcibly injected with unknown liquids by others.

Sheng Jiping grabbed Qiao Qing's hand, shook his head, signaling him not to act impulsively.

Doctor Shen, this is really just a sedative, but these five patients are special, so we added some other ingredients, though it's harmless to the human body.

Since Doctor Shen doesn't allow others to intervene, please hurry and let Jin Chen calm down.

Sheng Jiping still had a smile.

But it was already certain that if Jin Chen didn't get the injection, there would be absolutely no other way for him to calm down.

Okay.

Shen Yan agreed.

He hid the needle behind him, facing Jin Chen, and with his other hand stroked Jin Chen's drooping head, "Jin Chen, can you hear me?"

... Hmm.

Jin Chen was still taking deep, heavy breaths, about to erupt any second, but he still tried his best to answer Shen Yan's question.

If you don't get the injection, just behave and calm down, take these two pills, okay?

Shen Yan continued to soothe him with a gentle tone, his worry almost palpable.

This person became agitated to activate the e-crystal in order to protect him; I suspect this liquid is a suppressant.

But the e-crystal's function is powerful; forcibly suppressing it could backfire, possibly leading to a total loss of control one day.

Jin Chen was almost calm, he hummed again and took the pills Shen Yan handed him.

This is just a common nerve-stabilizing medicine; taking it won't do anything.

But it doesn't take effect immediately.

He pushed aside the surprised Sheng Jiping, bringing Shen Yan a bit farther away, "Don't let them see us! I only want you!"

His speech had become much clearer.

Shen Yan laughed in surprise and delight, not pushing away the arm around his waist, "Does it still hurt?"

It hurts... it really hurts, but not as much.

Jin Chen whimpered, still clinging to Shen Yan.

Honey, blow on it.

That inexplicable emotion in Shen Yan's heart surfaced again.

He blinked his eyes, somewhat hesitant.

Honey…!

Jin Chen urged him with a hum.

"Where should I blow?" Shen Yan sighed, asking helplessly.

Blow here, this spot hurts the most!

Jin Chen showed Shen Yan the wound where the e-crystal was implanted.

Instantly, the expressions of all three changed.
